[Music] chva begins with making life changes life changes that require you to become a better person according to Hashem if you're a woman you have to become a more modest woman why because if you're not a modest woman then that means that you're causing a every single second that you're alive why number one even though you may not respect the fact that you're the daughter of Hashem Hashem does Hashem respects the fact that you're his daughter so when you walk around IM modest and other people other other creations look ah look at look at hashem's daughter look how she treats herself how look at she looks she looks like uh one of the things we saw in the zoo donkey doesn't wear clothes she barely you can't tell the much of a difference she has longer hair can't tell the difference Hashem gets embarrassed with this goes look at this this is my daughter this this is my daughter so woman that's not modest already has a very very big disconnect why because she's not valuing the gift that hashm gave her second thing is she causes his other children to sin now there's a very important when it comes to yes they came to uh Steinman Shalom and they told him there's a boy in the that's causing uh you know he's really he not from the right family it's not from the right family and we really uh want to take him out of theisha he says don't take him out of the ISA no no but he it's not he's not this he's not this he's not that he's not learning he's slow he's this he's that says don't take him out of the Yesa yeah but you have to understand he's this and he's that like they're fighting against this kid this little 13-year-old kid it's like a whole like uh Coalition against this little kid he says listen is he hurting other kids spiritually is he telling other kids to get off the he said no that he's not doing he says you're not allowed to take him out of yes if he's hurting other kids then yes but everything else he's slow he's from this family from that family he doesn't know he knows all that stuff you're not have to kick him out of Yesa because he's not endangering anybody else so when a woman is imod she's endangering hashem's other children when she's endangering hashem's other children that puts a very very big gap between her and why says you are putting the rest of my kids in danger I can't really listen to your prayers I can't really give you pay you know special privileges why because you're causing harm to everybody else it's not that you're sinning by yourself same thing goes for a man a man that wants hem to listen to his prayers cannot make these major sins that cause a cannot make cannot be one of these people that goes against rabbis publicly goes against the toat publicly acts arrogant steals you know things of that nature but also a person needs to know that they have to keep the basics starts with Shabbat there's no Judaism without Shabbat there's simply no Judaism without Shabbat from the beginning of the Torah all the way to the end a person needs to keep Shabbat like the is no excuses no uh nothing and you're only going to start feeling the enjoyment of Shabbat once you keep Shabbat like it's supposed to be kept a lot of people say listen I keep Shabbat but I hate it why why do you hate it why do you hate Shabbat no I don't know it's this it's that it's and little by little you sto finding out he's not even keeping Shabbat why because he doesn't know how to keep he doesn't know all the so he's doing things that are actually violating Shabbat but he doesn't know because he doesn't learn Shabbat so he's violating Shabbat so his doesn't even get to enjoy it why because he's sinning but he thinks he keeps it or she thinks he keeps it so the reality is is that when you keep Shabbat like you're supposed to keep it's a pleasure of all pleasures it's a small piece of the feeling OFA if you're not feeling that piece there's something wrong with your Shabbat so now if a person wants to feel all of this joy in this world will live a life where they have literally no worry whatsoever then they first and foremost need to start taking on mitv more seriously they can't just think that if they meditate a certain way or they uh you know they uh put a red string around them their arm or they read I don't know certain books even if they read T 500 times a day if they don't keep the mitv it's a waste of time where doesm say this he says to the prophet many in their um mouth in their lips they gave me cavod they gave me honor but in their hearts they were far away from me they were far away from me why because they did they gave me service they said you know they sang songs all the nice songs that people like to sing but when push came to the shave they didn't really fight for me they didn't really fight to protect my religion [Music]
