Now even K who killed Evan killed Abel he didn't punish him right away. What did he say to K? He said this sin is too much for you. To bear this whole sin by yourself is too much for you. Why? In essence, you just killed 25% of the world. Why? You have Adam, you have not counting the twins and the other women, but just Adam, we have 25% of the world. You just keep 25% of the world. The the burden of this one sin is too much for you. I'm going to give you a little bit of an atomic bomb right now. There's another place in the that Hashem says this sin is too great for you to handle. The uses a language that's very scary. Making this sin is too much for you. It's not Shabbat. It's not wasting seed. It's not intermarriage even. It's notem even. What is it? Talking in you like to have nice conversations with your friends, with the rabbi, with the kila, with all these people. You like to talk to them in the says this sin of talking in bikes is too much for you to handle. Not for the whole for you. You yourself is too much for you to handle. Why? Someone that talks in is considered a someone that talks in considered someone that causes other people to sin which the Rambam says in is one of the four conditions of why Hashem does not let people do chuva. The four types of people Hashem says your punishment is not just g is not just losing money. It's not this. It's not your your punishment of worst punishment. I'm not going to allow you to do cha. I'm not going to allow you to do cha. Why? You got other people to sin. Go fix that first. Even more so says that when you talk, you're causing the of the entire not to be heard or accepted by Hashem. Your little measly conversation about the stock market or about this or about that gets the of to leave. Hashem does not go to doesn't go to a place of clowns, doesn't go in a place with jokesters. Your is a place of worship. It's a house of hem big or small. You want to make it a scene, that's not where he is going to be. So that conversation, that innocent conversation says, that little conversation causes Hashem not to even listen to everyone's prayers, not just yours. Everyone, everyone [Music] suffers. Says if someone just knows for sure he's going to talk in shul, someone know he's going to talk in, he can't hold, he can't contain himself. He just has to talk to somebody. He can't. He's one of these people. He has to talk. Some people they have a gift of gab inside the shoe nothing else outside the sh only in the sh they talk the says such a person it's better off they don't go to sh at all ever stay home don't go to the sin's too much for you to handle the sin's too much for you to handle and you should know this is not a mean this is not a this is not this is in 1247 in volume two says that someone who talks during the you know some people like to talk so much that even if you're praying they don't care it says that their mouth becomes t how t what's the degree of t what's the degree of impurity it's the same thing as if they were an idol worshipper and they're praying to god now you think's going to listen to you the point is You get the point. When Hashem says to Kim, "It's too much for you." We understood. But he's telling us also it's too much for you. Brings hundreds of years ago in his famous inim 209. We learned from our maso. We learned from our sages. We learned from our forefathers. If you ever see that there was a bet, a synagogue that was destroyed or a place of Torah that was destroyed, you should know that the Jews that were there, the Jews that were living there were treating that synagogue, were treating that yeshiva like it's nothing. like as a joke, like a bar, like a social club, like a place you can invite any heretic to speak in. Christian missionaries, a uh Jewish missionary, all types of heretics. Yeah. Yeah. Just to detain the crowd. Entertain the crowd. You ever see a bet midash like that that was destroyed? You ever see a bet that was destroyed? You should know without knowing. You don't have to look at the news. You don't have to look at the archives. You don't have to look at nothing. If it was destroyed, they were bringing people like Dennis Prager and Manis Freedman and Kelly that was trying to go to Boca Raton synagogue or and so on. That's that was there that was there. How how do you know? Because we have that we learn from the prophet Jeremiah in chapter 7 verse 11 and also in the book of Psalms 80:13. What does it say? The goim the goim theim never treat a place of holiness that's owned by Jews with desecration. They don't desecrate it. They don't ruin it until the Jews did it first. Why? They don't get the idea from heaven to go desecrate a holy sh until the Jews do it [Music] first. Brings d 131 writes awful things about a person that speaks in a bet. Zah says in the name ofish a person that speaks in mundane things or even whatever you're speaking middle of prayer you're speaking middle of the reading the you're speaking or even if you're speaking mundane things when there's nothing going on but you're doing it in the zah says that person that's speaking [Music] The zor says someone that speaks in a synagogue is considered 100% a kufel a heretic who has no share of the god of Israel and is causing a desecration of the name of heaven. And when he desecrates that synagogue with his speaking in a sh he is giving the power to destroy that sh to the every vet that has people socializing in it if it gets destroyed now we know why we don't want anything to be destroyed and the whole point of mentioning it is so people do chan Stop. Stop desecrating yourself. Stop being heretics. But if they at least won't cry talking, why' you do it to me? We used to pray in this place. Isn't it a betan? No, it's not a betan. If you're desecrating Hashem's name in it, you see this is our this is our belief system. Not my unique belief system, not my invention. This is standard standard basic level of Judaism. Those who follow it will win. Those who do not will lose. [Music] of Mizri used to speak to his about the importance in honoring the bitness very often. So much so that the students asked them once, "Rabbi, there are so much Torah that you can teach us. Why do you keep repeating the teachings about the importance of the synagogue messed them as follows? Since years ago when I was much younger, me and two of my friends found a ancient cabalistic book. And in this book, we found that there is a certain school like if you study Torah every single night with the whole night for a thousand straight nights, On the thousandth night, Ela Nvie comes and we decided to take that upon ourselves, the three of us. My friends gave up and I continued by myself. And I continued studying and I continued doing whatever I could to stay awake. And suddenly I hear footsteps and the door to the synagogue opens. And in comes an old man with a long white beard. And as he gets closer to me, I realize this is Eli Navi. And the first thing he said was the alot of honoring the pitniss. And from that moment I knew that if out of all of the things that he can teach me, this is the first thing that he chose to teach me that means that honoring the vet is of utmost importance. And this is the reason why I repeat it. What he is saying is that you as a common person, you go to synagogue, you go pray to Hashem, be quiet. Don't speak to other people. Go there, fear and awe and realize that whether it's a big sh or small sh, God is there. And if you believe he's there, you will act accordingly. And that will change your prayer and certainly the rest of the kila's prayer and all the outcomes that materialize from it. And each person that's watching this is going to take the time to share this with his entire community at least every week until everybody watches it and gets the point. So we don't have prayers that are empty prayers, prayers that do not have results, prayers that simply are put on hold because somebody couldn't keep their mouth shut. [Music] Hey [Music] hey AI speaking [Music]
