SIYUM SHAS in One Year (Inspiration Taken To Next Level)

thank you for being here to uh celebrate the Torah all right so a few words about the the beauty of Torah and the let see 64 64a RAR said in the name ofina Torah Scholars increase peace in the world and all your sons will be Disciples of Hashem and abundant will be the Peace of your sons do not read your sons B but your Builders Bon thus the verse refers to Torah Scholars who build the world with their Torah and as they who in the verse words generate peace in the world the uh zeron says something amazing about this and he begins with uh chapter chapter of sanin 99b he says Alexandri said whoever engages in Torah study for its own sake establishes peace in the upper heavenly host and in the lower Heavenly Host as is stated if Israel would grasp my stronghold referring to my Torah then he will make peace with me peace he will make with me yeshia 25 275 this is because who engages in Torah study uh harmful Spirits withdraw from him and thus there is peace the gar States further that a person who engages in tour study is though he is protecting the entire world uh this is because when a person studies Torah there is peace in the world since the power of the harmful force is nullified this is the meaning was say and bra the gar RAR said in name of RAB what we cited earlier Torah Scholars increase peace in the world and as a proof the gar there immediately sites the verse all your children will be students of Hashem and the Peace of your children will be abundant and expounds do not read the work as B your Builders but as Bon with a your Builders do not read as your children but as your Builders we see that Torah Scholars are referred to his Builders this is because the Torah scholar protects the entire world fending off the harmful forces with his study as though he is actually building the world uh the also explains another level of this says the term Builders the World by noting that with each Act of Torah and mitzvot one strengthens and bring order to the spiritual dimension of the world regardless of if you're a Torah scholar not you're studying Torah with each Act of Torah M fot you're building the world and consequently to its physical Dimension as well thus those who occupy with the study Tor actually building the world itself right but not only this world we're building we're also building our L and specifically our enjoyment of L there's uh n he says something absolutely incredible and you know there's a chapter in his book about the beauty of Torah life of Torah says investing in the future chapter 17 after a long life Yehuda Israeli left this world he came before The Heavenly court with many big suitcases filled with mitol laying to F observing Shabbat giving staka one by one the Mitzvah were taken un examined for every single day that he put on he was assigned a reward that was greater than the whole universe you know imagine people have boats people Islands whatever the whole universe for one one one F uh for every Shabbat he observed or rather for every second of every Shabbat he observed the reward was so great they had a reviv him with smelling salts he kept on passing out how great the word was when he finished informing him of the reward for all his MIT they injected him with mega does mega does of vitamins vitamins we don't have in this world apparently so we could bear the happiness so we could to be able to actually experience the joy of these MIT for the next phase not not just Shabbat not just but for what the war that'll be infinitely greater than all the previous mfol combined as added precaution he had angels to the sight of him to the left of him just to support him you know keep him able to bear bear This Joy this pleasure in L they say at 8:30 p.m. on Monday the second of kban you attended a t sh for 59 minutes during that time 134 Torah statements were made for statement one the reward is for statement two the reward is for statement three etc etc keeps on going on the angels caught caught Yehuda as he fainted and revived him each time so he could bear so he could uh hear the rest of the list all the reward that we would have this is a PL me of the gamar in Yami 41 that all the mitzvot together cannot equal one word of Torah learning so he gives a little little note here says if we start yawning we open a sepher or ending a Shore it's because we don't we don't have this this visual in our mind with how great the reward is of us learning Torah he also cites theab he says the key to Gan edin or to the full enjoyment of Gan edin and one's portion there is actually Torah study so the amount of Torah that you have the amount of Torah you study determines how much you're actually going to enjoy your lamba okay see another way another way to enjoy another way to build your l so I just t a study what else can you do right you always you only have so much time in a day especially if you're working and then studying only study so much what else can you do vote we have R yov vote 422 he says T and Good Deeds so of course we have toua we could do it for ourselves TVA constantly coming coming close to constantly increasing our Torah study but we can also build up from that point build up from the our own cha and work to a higher level what is this higher level Baba batra 9A states in the name of Rebel elzar again says one who causes others to PO meritorious Act is greater than one who performs the ACT himself one who encourages other to to learn Torah it's greater one who encourage others give Sak reward is greater so if you want to to build your build build your L exponentially then help others build their L as well and you know to make that easier for for you there's some resources on the table if you'd like to take on on your way out if you want some more and there's not enough then let me know I could have more grab where you like um if you see any Jew who maybe needs K maybe someone who's not so observant uh you could give them this B they do cha they do cha they keep Shabbat you don't go up go up with all your Shabbat you go up with double your shabbats they start laying you go up with double if they start studying Torah they listen to like the CDs USBS anything like that then you go up with their tour as well so your Wen L goes initially High all right so you know just with a with a minimal efforts you could be become a builder of Israel and you're L of course and instead of being just a just a b Tor which is a huge thing of itself you become a bon Tor a builder of Torah Builder Tora Miss so B thank you for being here okay all right verse okay last verse yeah last okay thear closes with citing several verses on the theme of Peace abundant peace to those who love your Torah and there will be no OB obstacle for them there will be peace within your wall Jerusalem sendy within your palaces for the sake of my brothers and comrades I will pronounce peace upon you Jerusalem for the sake of Hashem for the sake of the House of Hashem Our God our request good for you Jerusalem Hashem will give might to his Nation Hashem will bless his people Shalom Al for the um you could do papa papa Papa AAA ra Raa rakisha you could just want to go to the yes right turn around you don't have to okay for amen am foren shom [Music] bless bless you with with true good in this world and next amen bless me bro you got to bless me now bless with true good in this world next of the best [Music] hey all he [Music] hey [Music] oh and for is [Music] hard for me [Music] me for [Music] hey this is seral hey [Applause] beginning again again thank you so just a couple words of of so you talked about the words Bon and Bon so what could possibly be the connection between children and construction people I have no idea right except that you know I I I'm lucky to have B in terms of Torah what Torah first Torah first you people sitting in Yesa in this and here in America also in terms of physical they built the synagogue itself the actual walls actually what and the mikah everything has an order don't worry but the connection the connection between the two words first of all one thing understand is any time you have a Dr mid a discussion where they're bringing two different sides or they're bringing different ways to interpret words understand that the simple meaning meaning without the DU without the addition and plus the meaning which is given with the Dr are always going to be very connected and very interconnected so there must be something more to it and of course we heard a number of explanations that connect the two words but I'll give one other one and that is very interesting you you know the gumar itself right we have the gumar itself is written in Hebrew the gar is written in Aramaic in fact there are as we know there are two garas there's a gamar that is written in Isel and there's AAR written in B both of them are in Aramaic they're just in two different versions of Aramaic so the one that the Nar Isel seems much closer to Hebrew because it is AI form of Aramaic and the the the Aramaic which was spoken in bavel is what the Other M it was in the colloquial language it was the language of the country that it was in there certainly are duim that would explain the the why would they choose for example Aramaic over Hebrew or other languages but without getting into that I will point out that what that they in fact wanted this to be understood they wanted people to learn they wanted people to gather something from the text and they knew that if they did it in the language that people spoke from birth and grew up with that that language would in fact have the greatest impression so meaning the gamar itself was not necessarily written for some esoteric Rabbi in the middle of nowhere it was not written for the god Lor it was written for everyone granted with you read perhaps maybe we're not all of us are not so uh you know so so Savvy when it comes to learning the text because of the difficulty but I'll tell you the reason why we're not so savvy is because we didn't learn the text kind of funny it's almost like the reason why you can't learn or it's hard to learn is because you haven't learned so actually believe it or not starting in English for example and reading it in English and learning in English is actually an excellent way to begin the process but I'll explain to you why it's such an amazing process and that is is the gamara was written in a certain fashion It Was Written In order to train and to build your mind it was in order to train you to be something more see of course which is dear to every in particular right we have a strong strong Affinity right away to bottom line what's the what do I do of course everything is built on that yod that's the most fundamental of all yet the gar itself of course brings about this through a series of proofs a series of logical Feats in order for us to be able to internalize it make it part of us and actually bring it to something more to bring us to a a mental state to bring us to a point of being able to understand understand in a Jewish fashion you understand you learn you got the rules I follow the rules but in order to really be able to internalize the Tor and you also have to think with a Jewish cup as they say you have to think the way a Jew should think and a Jewish cup does not mean the way we culturally think right that's that's certainly not the case the cultural stuff forget about it what you stuff your kba with or what you make your mat bols is irrelevant right what really matters of course is how you engage Torah itself how do you engage knowledge itself how do you engage the world around you and how do you process that information through a filter of Torah Torah itself and that of course comes with molding our minds around the way a Jew should think and does think and has to think and that is the way the Torah presents itself through the gamar the gar goes ahead and it basically brings us through a process where it says okay where did this material come from what's the source of this material what was the initial thoughts I might have thought was and again and then it goes again again it rips it apart piece by piece could it possibly like this could it be possibly like that and over and over again and piece by piece again it tears apart every single letter and makes every single letter precious and important by showing you that there is nothing about any statement which is made by the ranim and state which was made by a KES in the Torah that in fact does not have significant and Powerful meaning and this is exactly what the Torah does for us in life it gives us a power to act and be a Jew to act and way in a fashion that is becoming of a Jew and to think therefore only makes sense if we have the means to act then we should also have the means to think and that of course is what Tor does so learning the entire sh in any capacity means to say that a person is prepared to learn it again doesn't really mean much more than that but it means to say that you w well by the way when we say that you learn it again it's really not that it's just that every single time you approach a piece of Torah it's a brand new book it's never the same thing twice so what ends up happening is whether it's again in English why not or again even again with building up your skills in terms of the language itself he says it's all irrelevant what is relevant is that it's another time to approach it the first time the four time are still not the same and if you learn four1 times you still don't know it you've only experienced it in fact Torah itself learning Torah is an experience we never talk about there's a mitzvah for everybody to know Torah you never hear that there's a Mitzvah to learn Torah the reason is because the learning itself the experience the process is what makes you and changes you and is in fact the actual Mitzvah itself it's not the knowledge the passive aspect but the actual doing of it and in truth that process is a process of Bion of creation of structure for going from one place to another in fact we even use language as an educator you know we use the languages of structure we use the languages of creation and building other when we talk about structure and sort of learning in terms of processing and so forth and so on but all those things are what the Torah gives us so the truth of the matter is he says the Torah being a Ben Torah is to be a bon and be a bon really means to be a bent Torah but by the way just a quick side even in the physical world Itself by the way I can't tell you how many times I've walked into situations where I've seen somebody you know these are skilled workers supposedly that are trying to actually fit for example a mattress through a door frame and they're having a lot of trouble now I look at it and I say do this and push you know and of course they do it and it works the reason is because well I'm thinking with the Torah process in my mind do make a differ I ET whatever it might be the point of the matter is is is that your mind changes your ability to even understand the world changes but changes for not just not in terms of smarts of course smarts will come but also most importantly in the correct and proper view of Torah in other words that he's bone correctly to build that and I'm so so grateful so thankful that I could be here to enjoy and be part of your to say a couple words of Torah and and really to to it's a tremendous that we have that you shared your s with us and you did your s in our place you come me saying thank you the opposite thank you what do you mean you know it's it's it's an amazing place there are more people even standing in this room right now that have finished some of us numerous times I think almost almost the entire area and that's an amazing thing our our our just one last thing in terms of Praise my community because B is that this community B when everybody did a big party as their opening for the door we basically did a every week for months that was our that was our no parties no this was a over and over actually not I didn't say every week every day with another basically between all of us one after another so we had we stored them up for a little while so we had one after another and it was really that's the way that we build for real in other words not build which is not real you give us a couple words not only a which is in itself a uh extraordinary thing which we try to discuss a little bit but also in a year and that's it's one of the things that I think the if I had any Merit in the whole thing that was just to get to get him to realize that he could do it not only do it not only finish the and many other uh but to do it in year if a person wants to do something they could do it the biggest reason of why somebody doesn't do something is simply they can't put their mind around it to see how could I do it but that's usually in the world of tah if it comes to business whether he's 18 years old or he's 80 years old he still thinks he can become the richest person in the world you know whether it's the first house he bought or it's the 50th building that he bought he still thinks that he has more room for more you know it's a uh if it's racing a car even if he has a car that's 10 years old and the alternator just went he still thinks he could beat the guy driving a Lamborghini right next to him why when it comes to materialism a person always thinks that he can do more than what he really can when it comes to T unfortunately the works very hard to convince you that you can't do the things that you can how do we know we can that's what we're created for in your mouth in your heart to do it meaning what I created you for that this is your DNA your DNA is to learn to DNA is not to build a building your DNA is not to be a doctor your DNA is not to be a good lawyer that convinces the judge that your criminal client is not really a criminal it's not your DNA your spiritual DNA is to learn Tor but convinces us that we don't have time for sure nobody has time somehow there 24 hours that everybody has some people finish the sh and some people don't you know finish eating that's it that's the difference how could it be we both have a 24 hours but one person finished the sh and another person perhaps he finished telling his wife a story of what happened at work today the difference is one guy was convinced by the that he doesn't have time the other guy also heard the yet but you said I'm too busy learning the to hear what you have to say so I'm going to continue learning wasn't convincing for him too he was convincing he just didn't have time to listen to him why he was too busy learning to so the question is how do we convince ourselves to learn T I learned from my everything I know and uh I'll try to tell you a few things that for me was inspirational that hopefully if we can get another person to learn whether it be the sh in the year or even to finish or even if it's just simply to convince yourself that you can do it and start doing it whatever it is that you're going to do then we succeeded several years ago we had a event in and my dear RAV had one of his crazy ideas I call them crazy ideas because to him it's a reality to me it's something that doesn't exist we convinced two secular guys two guys they completely secular they used to be religious then you know they had uh some really you know horrible rabbis that tormented them and convinced them to leave God so they became not just secular when you become secular when you used to be religious it's it's almost like it's it's the worst possible thing in the world just like says so these guys left everything now we convinced them to learn the Shas but not only learn the learn the in a year they never finished the sh before but you can do it how do you convince a secular guy that you could finish a s in one year $10,000 $10,000 each you convince him to finish the sh and guess what they finished the and then next they did it again and they're both they're both religious and they have fantastic different life but after we saw work the first time we figured you know what let's have another event and convince more people so we had an event a lot of people came all types of good things and then the goal of the whole event is to convince people to finish the sess in one year each person gets money few dozen people signed up 17 completed 17 people finished the for the first time in a single year the next year we did it again and dozens and dozens of people signed up dozens and dozens of people succeeded but even the ones that didn't complete it in one year continued because they liked it cuz they saw it that it said and you run it to somebody and say oh listen you remember that event you had four years ago I don't we had lots of things to do what what's the event listen we did the sh one year I didn't do it okay so so what happened no no I just did it now I just finished it now after two and a half years I'm like so we succeeded we succeeded and was free too but the best thing is that they were convinced that they can do it how do we convince ourselves that we can do it also when we're all busy and we all have problems and we all have headaches and we all don't understand and we all do understand and all the different things so now the first thing is first a person needs to know what what is the purpose of learning tah and of course there's a lot of things you need to learn like the rabbi was saying you have to think like a Jew you have to have a Jewish cup meaning you have to know how to think that's what we learned sh that's what we learn we know we need to know what to do but obviously going deeper into this in a as far as the mysticism and he says in essence the purpose of learning tah is in order to destroy the kot you have K you have t you want Kus even a secular Jew tell you want I'll say yes everybody wants Kusa how do you get more Kus by learning T the problem is when the more you learn T the more difficulties you're going to run into and the reason why we don't understand things is because of the tum because of the kipa that's in the way just like a fruit there's different fruits and they each one of the fruits have a peel have a kipa so you have the peel of let's say the tomato or the apple and then you have a peel of the Coconuts in my backyard and probably your backyards also in front yards you know they break what that kipa the uh the Apple versus the kip of the coconut I don't have to explain to you that there's a world of difference one requires teeth and the other one requires a hammer same concept with Tor when it comes to Tor in the beginning there's an enormous kipa why you don't understand anything I remember when I first started learning to it would take me six and a half hours to read one dff of and after the six and a half hours I concluded I don't understand anything that I just read for six and a half hours the kipa was to say it was a coconut is a compliment how do you break the kipa you keep going you don't give up just like if you're hungry and the only thing you have to eat is a coconut you're going to eat it even if the only thing you have is your teeth you're going to find a way to eat it same concept so that reel says that the strength that we have as far as K is all based on weakening the Kut now unlike secular knowledge where from generation to generation the secular knowledge Builds on itself in order to develop new conclusions that are better than the previous conclusions so you see the people that uh where whether it's Thomas Edison or it's any of the other uh uh creators and inventors and philosophers or whatever it is whatever they came up with 500 years ago 400 years ago 300 years ago 100 years ago 50 years ago is nothing in comparison to how we view the things that are being created now somebody came up with the iPhone thought is the greatest thing since SCE bread right now the iPhone is standard why you have ai artificial intelligence can make you do anything that you want to do if you simply know how to do it you create AI agents you could in essence take my lectures and translate them into 15 different languages and you hear me in Spanish in German in a French in Indonesian and Chinese in Korean and yes you can go on line you can see me speak all these different languages I don't speak Chinese by the way but there are thousands of people that watch my in these different languages by using this technology the beauty is that the Torah is the exact opposite why the Torah we don't build into new conclusions that are better than the past rather we realize that we have a lot more cot a lot more difficulties a lot less knowledge and Kusa and therefore we know for sure that everyone all of the from the previous gener Generations no more than we do it is not possible for you to say that you're right and abay is wrong it's not possible for it to be correct that you're right and the rambam is wrong it's not possible there's no reality that exists where we are right and Rashi is wrong there's no such reality yeah but what about that I have an iPhone and I have ai good for you you could play with AI maybe you know maybe invent something but to you're not going to invent something new to we rely on the M that we have throughout all the Traditions now the says that in order for us to truly understand this we have to break the Kut we have to go through the struggle of learning day in day out and we give lectures over the last decade lots of people from all over the world watch the get change their life but not everybody and the reason why is because there's a difference between somebody like Natan and another person two people can watch a sh two people can read a book two people can hear a message but there will be two completely different conclusions not because they have two different brains they both have the same exact brain they both have the same exact uh uh abilities they both have the same level of IQ they'll both created to learn T but the difference between one and the other is that one decided to take the inspiration and run with it every day meaning he has to continue investing in himself convincing himself that the original message is still relevant even though it's 6 months later meaning you heard you could do it in one year and you have to convince yourself the second day and the third day and the fourth day and the fifth day and the 10th day and six months later and seven months later and when everybody tells you you're crazy and when everybody tells you let's do something else you have to convince yourself every day so the original message really is helped you in the beginning but right now you got to help yourself and then there's the other guy the other that heard the same exact message and he simply just did nothing with it the lecture was good inspired he said he shook your hand he even gave you a donation but he didn't do anything with it for himself so the says that that's the kipa the kipa is going to get in our way to convince us that we can't do and somehow we have to convince ourselves the same way we convince ourselves with our business deals and with the uh relationships and with everything else that a person convinces themselves we have to convince ourselves now a person that completes the talud becomes part of the but now this this person that learned the Tor this person that completed the talm completed completed you know and even a seph a regular seph that was written by one of the that sense of completion number one obviously is a very good feeling but also that sense of completion breaks a certain shell a certain level of the kipa that is going to help you you have the motivation and the know how to learn the next time you didn't have this tool you didn't have this ability before you completed the Shas that first time that's why the r was saying the second time you finished the sh or the 400th time that you finish the sh it's a completely different shots not because you're reading different words but rather because the tools that you have now are not the same as the tools you had yesterday I'm not even just talking about the the tools you had a year ago yesterday the tools and the world that you live in were different than what you have now it's a different reality what do we compare it to the common word that most of us said and will say the ones that haven't that people like to hear is you are my wife now how you're you're my I'm sanctifying you now those words are powerful why they change reality because before you said those words she was just another girl you weren't allowed to do anything she wasn't allowed to do anything now you're allowed to each other and no one else to such an extent to says it's it's it's a horrible thing adultery is is death penalty it's it's stoning if she's a b it's a horrible horrible things happen if this commitment that happens after these few words changes once you said those words the reality changed the reality changed your reality changed her reality change especially for her the reality changed why because the Torah says once you say those words that's it she's yours she's an is she's an is she's not a little girl anymore she's not a single girl anymore she's yours you changed everything when a person says it changes everything also why because you just officially broke a level of kipa certain layer of kipa that is beyond our comprehension and now the tools that you have and the ability that you have to understand the next sh by the rabbi the next SE you're going to read the next time you read the same words you just read now you now have a new set of tools that never existed before now if a person listens to the they're going to continue doing this every day they're not going to necessarily do it one time and finish why because every time you do it you get new tools every time you do it you break another C each brings another complete part of the crown that you could present to one of the problems that we have today in many many people that learn is that they learn partial books they'll learn but only certain pages they'll learn but only certain sections they'll learn you know tell them what are you learning oh I'm learning you know great six months later you ask them what are you learning I'm learning oh you guys that slow or no no we usually spend three four five six days on one Duff I said are you Rashi are you TOS which one are you why what's so why is it taking so long because the learning is very different and what ends up happening is that if a person continues to learn in that way many including spoke against it because that level of when you first time learning the is not going to get you any sense of achievement you're never going to complete anything you're never going to complete a you're never going to complete anything and what ends up happening is a lot of times people go to Yesa they learn their you know their uh every day the parents pay the uh the thousands and thousands of dollars every single month for for them to finish Yesa they almost become secular even you know they may keep Shabbat they may continue you know with the keepa and everything else but as far as learning to become it disappears many times why because they don't have the real connection to the learning of a toah because they don't complete anything they left Yesa 18 20 years old and they maybe have maybe if we're lucky they have one M under their belt is good but you but you you have to have level you have to when you everybody understands that even though I could read the Kash 500 times when I complete it one time there's a certain level of achievement when I when I only completed one par 500 times but nothing else ever again there's no achievement you didn't do anything why because the rest of the Tora you still didn't read so when you finish the entire it's a certain connection that a person has that is very similar to marriage just like when you say you now have a wife you now have during those words theim say that the connect officially during that time even before there's actual physical uh uh connection and the same concept when you actually complete a needless to say when you complete the or any level of of Tora your now connects with the Torah connecting with the Torah is the ultimate fuel to help you learn more T now when gave us all of the words that they said they assumed that we would understand everything like they did but things changed one of theim wrote a seph called inph he says the ultimate purpose of learning Torah is to submit theot the T the the the barriers between us and learning more T the barriers between us and the barriers between us and understanding the T in order to take the the Sparks of K from them meaning you have the kipad all types of things that are out there you want to take the good that's in it the problem is he says that people started forgetting people started forgetting therefore he realized that the next generation is not going to understand like us at time of mosenu everything was by heart fast forward to realized if we continue by heart there will not be am is there will not be am is so we have to write parts of the Tor and he says at those times the mishna was enough now you go learn from the Mish good luck to you in uh in knowing how to even keep Shabbat you don't know anything you read the mishna okay fine you know you read nice a few things perhaps you can understand the stories but you read the mishna you're not going to understand everything why because we see the mishna there's so many things that come out of it but at the time of that was enough they looked at the Mish and they understood the Torah fast forward as the rabbi was saying they wrote why because they needed they saw the Next Generation requires further explanation fast forward they needed a t and theim say that each generation there's a degradation of the generations each generation is less and less why because there's more kipa there's more barriers this is why if you open a rambam you see a rambam right two lines three lines finished you understand everything he says more or less in a few words one of the of the generation writes a book just about that Al how come when somebody walks into a room and it's completely dark and he has to look and find the switch what can he do it's completely dark he has to find a switch turn on the light so what you do touch the walls touch the walls looking for the switch that's the the rambam knew exactly where it was and he turned on the light that's the difference the rambam wrote exactly what it is how it is completely clear that's in his generation Our Generation we are still looking for the switch but the point is is just like the rabbi was saying the goal is not necessarily to know everything the goal is to learn everything to learn as much as we possibly can and convince ourselves that although we may not have the same tools as the previous generations we still have the same exact obligation we still have the same abilities to do to use our bodies to use our time and we just have to complete our complete this task and then we finish now most of the times that a person is going to convince themselves that they can't do what a created them to do it's usually because they're busy it's usually because they're busy whether you work eight hours a day like most normal people or you work 20 hours a day you're busy you're always busy busy is a normal thing for most people when it comes to T when it comes to going to the park when it comes to going to a show when it comes to talking to your friends about some type of thing that's in that's on the news we always have time when it comes to learning to usually people find themselves very very busy because the convinc US that we're busy so when a person wants to learn T they have to know that there's a great benefit say when a person takes on themselves the burden of T takes from them the burdens of the world what kind of burdens of the world the thoughts that maybe you're going to lose lose all your money anybody ever went through bankruptcy anyone went through financial crisis knows exactly what I'm talking about what am I going to do how I'm going to Fe feed my kids how I'm going to pay for tuition how I'm going to pay for water how I'm going to pay for this how I'm going to pay for rent those thoughts are a nightmare those thoughts are a nightmare or a person like unfortunately many people are very sick today they think about girls all day or boys or whatever it is that this this generation is everything all day they think about something yeah but you already have a wife yeah but he's thinking about somebody else all day he has some some garbage in his head he can't think straight he's constantly thinking about this or the person is thinking about some other thing some other crazy thought what if I was the president you know if I was the president I wouldn't really do all this Doge thing that they're saying I would just do it and not tell anybody if I was the president you know what I would attack Ukraine no I would help you know everybody thinks if I won the lotto what would you do if you won the lotto I don't know how much is it right now $300 million okay you know what $300 million I can do a lot with it and they start calculating what they would do with this fictional money they don't even have a ticket what is this called nonsense nothing but this is spends an enormous amount of time in people's minds they think about what they're going to do once they have this building they don't even have a key yet they don't have the money to buy a build you don't have money to even put a deposit but they're thinging once I have the building once I have the car once I become president once I become vice president once I have this once what is this this is because there's a space in a person's mind because there's a lacking of tah so they're constantly imagining all types of nonsensical thoughts and this is coming promises us if we take on themselves the burden of Tor says I'm going to take those away you're not going to worry about being poor even if you're poor you're not going to worry about his wife or that wife why because you're going to be busy with with you're going to be busy with so now if a person doesn't learn T they suffer the consequences and you see how mental sickness today is very very common unfortunately whether it's the kids where every other kid is a attention deficit disorder or it's the adults that have all types of addictions and and things like that and unfortunately it's very very common for people to be sick the truth is it's not really physical sickness all the time it's it's spiritual sickness we're missing our purpose we're missing our tah so a person has to understand that when you learn to you're not doing anybody a favor exide from yourself you're fixing your mind you're fixing your and when a person has a kipi in front of them they have a difficulty they can't sit still they hear it's interesting but I got to go where do you got to go I don't know I just have to go you ever he you ever see that it's interesting yeah I like it okay so why are you leaving I just got to go where are you going nobody's home waiting for you what are you doing no I don't know it's late it's 7:30 the next you why there's a kipa there there's something attracting them to go else with to run away from a to you start reading a book all of a sudden he's tired what happened you didn't sleep last night you didn't sleep how come you fallen asleep when I first started learn go to literally within 37 seconds I'm in my fourth dream I don't sleep like that when I tried to go to sleep started oh sleeping with a sandwich in my mouth sleep why there's something in the way only way to get through that is break it it's the only way you keep going and you keep breaking and you keep smashing the the window and you smash the wall and you smash the kipa Until It Breaks it's the only way there is no easy way there is no easy easy way in order to have the motivation to do that is to realize that you need it no different than you need air to need it you need it like you need food you need it like you simply need to live one desire that every normal human being has is the desire to live desire to live everybody has a desire to live if a person understands what the Torah is they they'll realize that their desire to live should be equivalent to their desire to learn toah why you need both in order to really live you need a toah why because it's not really life it's not really life you just you know another robot in the world wake up in the morning go to work you pick up the bags you throw the bags you complain about somebody you yell at somebody somebody complains about you somebody takes from you somebody doesn't take from you it's the same thing every single day everybody goes through it doesn't matter how much you have or you don't have everybody goes through the same exact thing when you learn T you have something else on your mind all the time you have a B on your mind you have ra you have you still don't understand how could it be that that studied so much how do they get into an argument so bad your story you heard the story 10 years ago you're still thinking about how did it get that way how did it get that wayos ended up praying and died in a ship how did it happen how did it happen that they decided to spend 300 years on one M of how to put their hands on a cow like that's what you spend your time on when you learn T when you learn T you have a lot of other things on your mind you don't think about your neighbor you don't think about what why because you're busy you're busy with the Torah mind you're busy with a Torah mind you're busy with the mind that has something that's much more intellectual much more useful than worrying about what would you do if you became president so a person has to convince themselves number one they need to learn tah number two if they don't learn T the life that they have right now is not really a life even if you have money you don't have money trust me those days that I had had plenty those days that didn't have anything there's no difference if you don't have t neither one is life number three is to learn enough M to know that there is a consequence if you don't learn T most of the people that leave the Torah leave it because they do not believe in consequence they believe in a consequence with the police if they drive too fast in the highway they believe they have a consequence if the IRS finds out that they' really been cheating on their taxes they believe that it's a consequence if their wife catches them looking at somebody else's girlfriend they believe there's consequences in this physical world but people do not believe in the consequences by they think that hem is Santa Claus he gives gifts all the time there's no consequence a person needs to know there's consequence once you know that there's consequence and use a constant reminder you realize okay sometimes that's what's going to help me to get through those tough days those difficult times where I don't feel like learning I don't feel like doing it and the last part is to know that no matter what you have in this world at the end you leave it all here the money you have the cars you bought the houses you built all the stuff you leave here and I'll finish off with the story story that puts things in perspective that will give a little bit of if none of the words counted this is enough there was a very wise well wealthy Jew that knew that his time has come he's going to die at any moment he had a lot of money and he knew that he wants to leave his kids something very important perhaps something you can't buy with money so he gave his kids a letter and he told them once I die I want you to open this letter and do what it says that's the will that's the last request that I have from you ABA don't worry you're never going to die you're going to live to 5,000 mashia is going to come nobody believes that this is but it happens and guess what one day it happened and he died so what do the kids do the kids open the letter I only have one wish for you kids to do which is to bury me tell thead to bury me with my favorite socks on you know those blue socks that have a small hole on the right foot my favorite sock I want you to bury me with my favorite socks once you do that please go to the lawyer he will give you the second letter which will be the completion of the will how to divide the estate the millions and the billions and all the different buildings and so on so of course the kids are like that's all we have to do bearing with the socks get the socks get the socks gets the socks they run to kadish listen you know my father sadik he donated he did good things all he wants is for us to bury him with the blue socks blue socks no no no we don't bury with blue socks I understand you don't bury a sck that's why you wrote a letter look it's his signature look it's a letter here his signature all he wants is to be buried with his blue socks sorry we don't bury with blue socks we don't bury with socks we put if you want we put around his leg no no no no no we just want the socks I'm sorry we can't do it but since you guys are so adamant about it we're going to ask one of the they went to one of the says absolutely not we have a tradition we are not changing it not right not left bury him with no socks no socks what are the kids going to do tell him not to bury you have to bury him this is this is happening this is real time it's not today where you could put him in a freezer because uh you think that you have more no you have to bury him that's it finished they bury him without sucks now of course the kids are upset only thing their father wanted from them it socks they can't even do that but we still have to go to the lawyer they get to the lawyer said listen I don't know our father told us if we bear him with the socks give us a letter but I guess we're not going to look at a letter so what do we do he goes no no don't worry your father told me all about it before he died you still get the letter oh we get the letter they open the letter they read the letter my dear beloved Sons I know you did not succeed in bury me with my socks like look ABA no I know you're not going to succeed and for that I wanted to teach you that no matter what you gather in this world whether you have buildings and Estates and a whole uh group of horses and gold and diamonds and jewels when you leave this world you cannot take anything with you even your socks have to stay in this world now don't fight over the inheritance this is the male that his kids needed to learn but this is the male that we need to learn as much time as we have in this world we have to realize that all that we spend our time Gathering the cars and the houses and the friends nothing is going to help us your wife is not going to help you your kids are not going to help you your houses are not going to help you the jewels are not going to help you your portfolio is not going to help you nothing is going to help you what's going to help you how much Torah and good Deeds you have you have that you
