The Divine Solution To Worldly Problems - Bitachon B’HaShem (8)

[Music] back to we um continue our Sunday series about the series thear says there are certain things that need on a daily bases and one of them is having confidence inm so uh we'll continue our series we'll go over some of the things that we've gone over so far like we usually do each time which just a little new insight about it each time and then go over into another section of the BET um as a uh just a brief update the uh tomorrow I will be in New York I'm going tomorrow morning so I won't be able to stay very long tonight for uh private questions but I'll try my best I have a flight I have to get out of the house around 6 o' in the morning so uh I have a shoe in New York tomorrow and I have to go to the bed and then there's anyone that's in New York that's watching tomorrow night we're in Queens I believe it's 8 o00 and then uh Tuesday we are in Manhattan at 3 pm and then in Queens at uh 8 or nine o'clock I forget the times just check the website bash.org b z r a t h s h m.org the schedule should be on there um or you can check the Facebook page either way we'll be there and then we'll be back in uh Florida on uh Wednesday and B I'll have uh the strength to do a show with you guys on Wednesday night uh so that's the update as far as lectures this week uh aside from that we'll try to uh put all this all the lectures Live on YouTube YouTube and uh on I'm sorry on Facebook so anyone that's not local can watch them uh but as you guys know it's very very different to watch a lecture live versus watching a YouTube video so if you're able to go there live you should um a lot of people ask me a lot of questions and uh you know they uh say when is the best time to meet when is the best time to ask questions generally the best time to ask the questions and to meet is during the lectures so to answer that once and for all anyone that wants to have a private meeting with me the answer is a default no uh I don't have private meetings uh not because I don't like you not because I'm Prejudice not because of any other reason other than the fact that I don't have time I'm sorry I just don't have the time to have private meetings other than the times that we have lectures so if you want to meet come to the lecture I'll meet you after the lecture as you guys know unless I have a trip like today I don't have uh any schedule so if you guys want to be here like last week I was with a couple of guys after one of the shim I think we were here till 1:30 in the morning so uh in New York for example my last trip that I was there I had to sit down with a group of guys to convince one particular guy to start keeping Shabbat finally bem one of us had to break so he agreed to keep Shabbat but it was four o'clock in the morning 4 o'clock in the morning he agreed to keep Shabbat so we are in a mission we in a mission we're not afraid of work but again it's uh is a limited amount of time in a day you have a lot to do you have a lot of learning to do you have a lot of teaching to do a lot of different things to do you can't have uh time for everything so even though I know people want to be friends and they want to have a coffee and they want me to come to their house and all types of things and I appreciate the invitations I just generally don't do it there's very very small exceptions that I do all of you guys that have been with me for some time already know that most of you guys have either you know asked before and got a no it's nothing personal it's just a reality uh um as far as anyone that comes to the shim my time is your time so whatever questions you have whatever is bothering you with it's personal business somewhere in between I'm here to help so as far as the uh the series here the we have this has given a lot of people it's given a lot of people a little bit of assurance of who runs the world and really a lot of the anxiety that most people deal with is self-inflicted of course everybody has problems if you're alive you have problems as we always say if you don't have problems you probably don't have a pulse either you have problems everybody has problems but the uh most of the problems that people have usually don't actually exist they exist in their mind they exist in their mind because they're worried about things that haven't happened yet that uh they're worried that they won't find a they're worried that they won't get a new job that pays just as as well they're worried that uh if they have a kid they're not going to have the money to pay for the kid now there's no other way to say it I mean you can say it in a sugarcoat way just not my style you could say it in a nice way like maybe your local Rabbi could say oh you should get I'm GNA tell you this how to how the ramban says it okay so ramban you don't have to blame me ran ramban was a lot smarter than I could ever be even if I studied a thousand hours a day for the rest of my life I cannot be like the ran ran said something very interesting the ran he also didn't show Cod anything as I told you guys one of the things that he said to the on after he saw a destroyed land a destroyed you know y everybody's struggling and so on instead of giving them like uh you know your typical local Rabbi that you know assures you even though uh you you shouldn't be assured the didn't Dore anybody he just told everybody by the way if you sin you're going to go to Gom and if you think of sin you're going to go to Gom and if you keep sinning you're what lecture you by the time you finish the first page of 30 pages you already did cha five times you scared them to death why told him the truth the truth is scary sometimes so the ran says the following at the end of par you could see yourself the end of the thean has commentary on the entire Torah the body of work that the ran has is something that I don't think anybody in our generation can achieve even not saying in the same level of course the same level they can't achieve I'm talking about the amount the amount of work that he achieved in his lifetime I don't think anybody can achieve it why it's just he simply has commentary on every aspect of the Torah reading all those those books I think takes a lifetime commenting on them I don't know how he did it he probably figured out some type of cabalistic way to make 90 hours a day but anyway the ran writes on the verse in Exodus 13 uh chapter 13: 16 which says talks about theah and it shall be a it shall be a sign on your arm and an ornament between your eyes for with a strong hand Hashem removed us from Egypt that's what the is in Ran takes us in a little bit of a different direction or at least the direction that we didn't think was even possible to gave him this P he says what is he talking about that hasem why why is he connecting the mitv which is a relatively simple to understand mitvah take a piece of leather put it on your arm take a piece of leather put it on your head make sure that's kosher and you're not buying it from some store that sells hot dogs also don't buy it for eBay just because it's cheap buy it from a sof that you know who he is that he has and it's not a machine if a machine wrote your Orab wrote yourin or a wrote yourin which by the way is the vast majority ofin they sell in all of these stores that's why they sell them for $200 that's why they sell them for $99 sometimes if that's the feeling you have you should know it's not only not a mitvah it's an to use them it's a sin you're making a sin every time you have them on you sin why why he wrote it he wrote it he used ink he used ink we have rules God created rules for us to follow you want to follow them follow you want to follow your own set of rules you have a different problem why you get says I'm God yeah I know God I know you're God no no no you don't know I'm God the whole life you pretended you were God I said I'm God I'm God yeah I know God you're God no no no you didn't agree when you were there I put you there for 70 years every day you said you were God no I never said it no you did when you said you're going to make rules you're going to buy fine because for Discount you're going to put a muza because it's discount you're going to go to reform sh but pretend orthod you know and you're going it's a discount discount you you constantly put discounts in my toah so you pretended to be God now you have a problem why I'm The Only God now what you goingon to do so the ran says it's a very simple mitvah says there's aah simple but then he connects it to a supernatural event what Supernatural event that aosh took millions and millions of Jews that were slaves with zero confidence to such an extent that theim say that it was a miracle that Hashem actually convinced them to leave why their confidence was so low they didn't see themselves as anything but slaves so mosu came to says no I'm here I'm your Messiah I'm gonna take you out what move from being slaves he goes there's something else we could be something else we're slaves they got to such a low level they felt like the only position in the world they had was being slaves now of course they cried in pain but nonetheless they did not have any hope whatsoever and Hashem turned the slaves into the master so the ran says from here what do we learn from here that Hashem is connecting a natural with a supernatural that a person and I'm reading you his language word for word in English obviously a word a person has no portion in tat mhe without believing that all things that happen to us are Miracles whether communal or private not at all natural or the way of the world meaning a person in essence is removing himself from toat M you're removing yourself from Judaism you're removing yourself from a relationship with if you simply don't believe that everything is a miracle the fact that you can shw Miracle the fact that you can see me Miracle the fact you were able to walk from your car to hear Miracle you could pay uh your rent Miracle you have a wife Miracle you have a husband Miracle everything is a miracle nothing is natural the Lan says if he fulfills mitv he'll be rewarded if not he'll re receive punishment everything is decreed from Hashem meaning nothing is purposeless nothing too big nothing too small this the raan says this is one of the foundations of foundations of ideology which I believe people struggle with dearly in our generation and I'm not talking about the people that struggle being the secular people the yesterday you just discovered you are a Jew and you have different rules and today you realize oh you have no no I'm not talking about those people I'm talking about people that are religious people that have a keeper long beard they could sleep the floor they have a nice black and white you know outfit they look like penguins everything's good but you tell them listen you going to go to col says sure of course where could I go if I don't go to col you going to learn to in a for sure I'm going to learn to what I do in a if I don't learn T who you going to talk to your friends no no I'm learn to you learn to in the col for sure those people can sometimes learn all day in a and forget there's a God forget there's a God running the world why as soon as a problem arrives all the learning goes into garbage they start acting like a person that never learned a single thing you see this all the time you see this with business you see this with life you see this with anything and everything in a person's life if he believes that a runs the world you see it based on how he acts every day if he doesn't believe 100% then you see it also same person you see it on his dayto day doesn't matter whether he learns or not matters whether he believes of course you're supposed to use the learning to believe the problem is that sometimes we forget why we're learning sometimes we forget who's the one that's running the show so the first and most important aspect of it is to recognize that there is Anem that there's actually a God there's a Divine being overseeing everything in anything that you're doing this is the foundation of everything if you do not believe that there's a Divine being watching every single one of your actions the rest of the Sho is completely irrelevant for you the rest of all of our shoes are irrelevant to you why we have to give take a different sh what's the Sho believe in God believe it or not as simple as that sounds this is a very big difficulty for some people and the reason why is because they believe in a small God they believe in a God what kind of God is this they believe in a God that they could relate to like a friend they believe in a god they could talk to like a buddy they believe in a god they can call him by first name and he calls you by first name they believe in a God that listen to this they believe in a God that's too busy too busy to care about the smallest little things about your life yes again they believe in such a small God that he's too busy to care whether you did on what you ate or not why does that make him small do that make him big logically think no my god is so big he's too busy for the small stuff opposite why opposite if he's too busy to mind your own little things to watch whether you are going to make a before you eat to watch whether you're going to wear appropriate outfit for a Jew to watch whether you're going to put on or not to watch whether you're gonna say in the morning thank you God for putting my back if your God is too busy for the small stuff guess what he's a little puny nothing God why because the god of Israel he so big everything is in his sight everything is in his sight once you think that hasem is limited or perhaps doesn't care what do you do you're minimizing him you're minimizing hashem's ability to only see the things that you as a lowly human being believe are significant like who made you buzz this is one of the biggest problems we have today people with miniature gods one day going to start selling them like the Christians in the stores little miniature God why they're so friendly with this miniature God they're going to start selling them a little mini God a little mini mini God a little mini with a hat God a does not have a hat he does not have a mini version of him this is something that a person needs to acknowledge on a regular basis why once you realize that a is Almighty he can handle everything he sees everything he cares about everything everything once you realize that automatically your relationship with him changes why next time before you put on an outfit that only covers a quarter of your body you're going to think what does God think about this what does God think about this uh that I turn into a t-shirt this handkerchief that I turn into a t-shirt what does he think of it what do God think about the three earrings that the guy has three some guys have I used to have when I was a kid I had like eight earrings guess what God didn't like my earrings you like but I never thought about it that way well I thought it's my ear I thought it was my ear I didn't know it was his ear once you start realizing it's his ear it's his arm it's his eyes it's his everything you are his now your relationship changes status relationship changes status you now have a real relationship the problem that we have is that we don't dealt into this we don't think about this too much and we start putting thoughts in God's head how would you feel if somebody put thoughts in your head you know sometimes you talk to people and then before you finish your sentence they start talking for you hey I know what you're gonna say I know how do you know what I was going to say were you a prophet no no I know I know what you're going to say how annoying is that how annoying is somebody complete your sentence especially when they're wrong 99% of the time that's the best part no that's not what I was going to say I was going to say something else oh you are okay well I said it's better anyway how annoying is that person well guess what that's how we are when we do this for AEM only it's not annoying it's worse so does not want us to think for him he does not want us to limit him he does not want us to think what he can do what he can't do just think of it this way you as a human being could are Limited in a sense that you could only see what's in front of you and have a perception of a potential future you can see the current situation as a human being and you have a perspective your own perspective your own visual of what your current action could potentially lead to in the future you're not sure what's going to happen in the future but you think that this leads to this cause effect sometimes it doesn't though there's there always an exception so in essence a human being is limited to a one-dimensional vision with a perspective of a potential future if you look at the or you look at at the end you'll see that doesn't think that way why for him the past the present and the future is all the same thing now of course this is impossible for a human being to understand but that's exactly it that's what makes you human if you were able to understand the past the present and the future you would not be human you would be God and there would be two Gods so to understand God would require you to see the past the present and the future as one thing now with that being said since we know that there is no way that it could have predicted that it's going to be 900° in this room today and there's no way that we can predict anything really we can just assume certain things most of the anxiety that we have is unwarranted why we worry about things that we can't predict anyway so even the negativity that we predict sometimes and if you're a negative person all the time you predict that you're not going to be able to find a you predict that you're not going to find a uh job you predict that you're not going to have enough money to pay the bills this month you predict that you may not be able to have kids Shalom you predict that you may not have food to eat this week you predict that you're not going to like this specific meal because it looks funny you predict all types of things the reality is most of those predictions are wrong but even if you're a really good predictor 50/50 at best 50/50 at best right along which means that at the very best case scenario 50% of the time your concern which led to anxiety was a complete waste of time that not only wasted your time but led you to feel horrible for no reason whatsoever I have a student God bless her she for a while she was worried why she's worried she's not going to find a husband she's not uh 20 years old and uh she's not uh M multi-millionaire that and she doesn't have necessarily all the requirements she thought in her mind that uh would warrant her finding her husband easily and when she started looking she couldn't find every guy that she found had something something went wrong something this something that and she went on for months and months and months and months a year passed and she started looking nothing a year and a half pass then one day she said you know what I give up I don't want to do it anymore for what for what why why would I bother going out with all these losers on dates when they don't even have enough decency to call the next day and say oh listen I'm interested not interested or to even pay for the meal sometimes the guys in this generation by the way I hope you guys are not one of them the guys in this generation I don't know where they learn their matters maybe from wolves they take girls for dinner but they don't pay I don't know what happened if you don't have money don't go if you don't have money stay home you're still a child get a job make money then you go but until you have a job and a money don't go why what' you learn your man a wolf where you going to find some some uh some dead cat on the street on the way to the restaurant to feed her you have to feed people you have to have manners you have to open doors you have to open the door why she's a lady you have to say thank you I you don't teach this stuff anymore anyway seems like a generation Raised by Wolves she says I'm going on on dates with these guys some people M manners I don't want to tell you the stories I said where'd you find these kids garbage pill where'd you find these people I when I was a kid probably before any of you guys were born at least most of you uh we used to have uh trading cards you guys probably have I don't know baseball cards or something right when I was a kid we had in Israel you know back then we like a third world country uh in Israel we had a collection of cards what was it called Garbage Pail Kids you guys had this in America like I think in the 60s or something we had it in the ' 80s was called garbage pil kids little uh images of garbage pil so that's why I think garbage pill kids kid you know it's a cartoon of kids growing up in a garbage pill seems like unfortunately some people's manners are grow up in the same garbage pill so she says I'm going on on dates with these guys they don't have any manners they don't say this they don't say that they don't pay all types of horrible stories some guys show up with body odor some guys show up you just just not clean all types of really odd and strange things she says I give up I told her it's not for you to give up though why is sending you on all of these trips in order for in order for you to get to a eventual inevitable destination how you're going to get there is not your business that's what you just have to do you just have to get there sometimes the journey to the promised land that wants to send us will take 40 years even though it should have taken three days max hem wants to send us on a long route if you have in and your confidence in hem guess what you're not only going to get there you're going to get there with a smile the whole way if not if not not only do you risk even getting there but even if you get there you're going to be like one of those miserable people that cried the whole way like who wants to be next to you you ever go on a car and there's like some on a bus and there a kid crying the whole time or maybe on a plane is a kid crying the whole flight to Israel 10 hours you hear this kid cry like the whole flight in the beginning he said oh he's cute he's cute by the end of the flight everyone wants to start sh the kid why he's cried 10 hours who wants to hear somebody cry 10 hours that's you that's us that's us crying for 70 years when we get up to shab wants to throw sh at us who wants to be next to you 70 years you're crying for no reason you got to the destination anyway why you crying so the BET says when we are afraid of something we create this anxiety we actually are making a sin and unfortunately put a in a position where he has to punish us with what with the very same thing we're afraid of you're afraid that such and such is going to happen that's a sin why that means that you're disconnected from Hashem that means that you don't believe that Hashem can do it and therefore hasem has to punish you what's the punishment the punishment has to fall in line with the rules of Hashem Hashem has rules for himself one of those rules is called measure for measure measure for measure you do good Hashem gives you the good and kind you do hm gives you the bad and kind you steal from somebody Hashem will have somebody steal from you sometimes we steal like we go to somebody's house and we just take stuff out of his house like when I was a kid I invited this little Korean guy into my house he was in the same grade we were in I was just came to America I was in fifth sixth grade I thought this guy was like a scholar why he had glasses on he spoke English perfect I just came to the country I didn't have any friends I invited this guy to my house so playing toys and everything you know everything was wonderful and he left I was looking where's my stuff I was looking I swear I was look I had a little box of cards and toys I was looking where's my stuff where's my toys I didn't have that many but I had I knew where I had I had a little shoe box worth of toys and baseball cards all types of things I didn't know what the stuff was so I ran to my brother yeah Gabby where's my stuff you touched my stuff he goes what stuff cues my stuff he goes what do you mean your baseball card you're this you're that I said yeah he goes your friend I'm like no my friend he's from Korea they're rich he's from Korea they're rich over there they no he's uh he speaks English I you know back then you know I thought anybody speaks English as like Einstein or something he didn't know anything he speaks English he's uh he's the best guy in man he's good no wait come on gu please find it with me we look my whole time in a second my brother tells me no no he stole it from you after I started crying couldn't find it my brother felt bad for me so the next day went to school he took the kid to the side he said listen you don't bring my brother's stuff I'm GNA send you back to Korea guess what the Little Einstein from Korea brought back my stuff he brought back my stuff that he fa it was his for a second sometimes that's the way we steal other times we steal in a way that doesn't really seem like stealing so I was in besset this weekend and the rabbi was a uh giving an teaching the the uh the people in the and I learned a lot from this not about I learned something else from this he says there's that you're not allowed to sell a to a not allowed to sell to a not allowed why this you're not allowed to sell them to a that's Al what happens if a non-jew comes to the rabbi and says listen uh I have aai here and uh I need you to check it to see if it's good Rabbi says to them you're Jewish no I'm not Jewish so how do you know you need to check it goes well my boss I know he had problems in his house so he called the rabbi the rabbi said give me a and I'll check him and then everything after he gave it back to him he said everything was good in his house I have problems with my house soorry I'm listening I took it off the wall and I'm giving it to the rabbi the check for me ah maybe there something wrong with the m so now the rabbi is a dilemma why the book of law says you're not allowed to sell the to the so what do you do that's what the rabbi asked the crowd so one guy says I have the answer says what take the M scroll out of the thing make a photocopy of it and put the photoc copy inside and keep them as that's called stealing you're not to steal it it's not your stuff it's his stuff even though he's not allowed to have it you're still not allowed to steal it so another guy says oh I got an idea the M it's in your head now right take pen and write something over ruin the mza so now it's not a Kos so at least that's not Kosher and give back to him say everything's okay he doesn't know yet to him an Al is the same thing as an n he doesn't know the difference so make theant to an N or something like ruin the MU it's not Kosher anymore one letter is wrong is not Kosher so ruin Rabbi says yeah but this also stealing so now that the crowd is quiet okay it's one I can't make a copy of it another guy says you can't just take it out and give nothing back goes now it's also stealing put the instructions inside that's the instruction oh it's also it's also stealing can't s okay so what do you do but he technically is not allowed to have it the good news is he has a little bit more em in him than the rest of the crowd that I was around why he's steering for the the answer is not 100% but you're steering for the you're steering for the truth what's the truth what's the truth what does say says tell the listen you know why you have problems because you have a m that's why you have problems because you are not Jewish you're not that's it simple tell them the truth why are we so scared to tell people we're Jewish and they're not Jewish he wants to be a Jew convert him don't want to be Jewish don't pretend like you want but everybody has this like dilemma oh maybe you should fool him maybe she Li to him maybe why just tell the guy the truth the says give truth to people give truth just tell them simply listen we are Jewish you are not Jewish Jewish people have non-jewish don't simple that's the problem that you have you want to be Jewish will help you you don't want to be Jewish then okay get rid of the problem this is the problem we have we have a little bit of an embarrassment of ourself we're embarrassed to tell people the truth this comes from a lack of this comes from a lack of that everything is going to be fine even if we tell everybody the truth this believe it or not is the reason why most of you the last time you went to sh you heard a from the rabbi that Mo sounded more like a cartoon that everything's okay that everybody's perfect everybody has a share of the world to come not a single Rabbi says on a regular basis that if you violate Shabbat you have no share of the world to come and you have death penalty and so on and so forth most people in the english- speaking World here that are not really going to help them why because unfortunately sometimes even the teachers are in a dilemma where we have a lack of we think if we tell you the full truth maybe you're not going to come back next week maybe you're not going to donate maybe you're not going to press like on my Facebook so even the teacher has to have you have to have have the mid the character trait of being a person of regardless of whether you have 100% or don't you have to have the knowledge that you have to fulfill this obligation you have to say the truth regardless when you don't you're only going to create problems for yourself and anytime that a person has fear of an outcome and therefore that fear leads him to make the wrong direction wrong uh wrong move the BET said says that's because your fear stems from the fact that you forgot about hem altogether next he says that every person that experiences times when his efforts don't not only don't help but they actually cause him harm this sometimes happens to newal they start changing their life but instead of think you know instead they think I remember myself I thought in the beginning you could laugh at me it's okay I was sure I was praying so hard I was crying so often when I was reading T and praying to hasem I was sure that there was going to be a voice coming out of the sky saying it's okay like something like something was going to happen like I thought there's going to be a burning bush appearing like something had to happen I cried so much for things to change I said at some point you're can to answer me right I lived on the 35th floor in Manhattan so at night you know people talk about oh I do eat B in the woods you know these little breast livers do in the woods I'm like yeah you do on the 35th floor buddy 35th floor I'm crying for hours it's freezing cold outside I'm crying as I was sure the heaven was going to open say relax enough go to sleep already 3 o' in the morning something was going to happen I was sure it didn't happen it didn't happen in fact everything I was doing seemed to be have the opposite effect I was investing lost more money I was working more people did the wrong thing by me I did a new deal somebody stole the money I L the guy half a million dollars he ran away and stole it till this day I'm waiting for it if I got all the loans that I gave out to people I'd be a millionaire again everything I was doing went wrong everything I was doing Health oh how bad it got how bad it got but the only thing that kept me in was my fascination with how beautiful the toah is that either way the fact that it wasn't going my way still somehow made sense to me it still made sense to me that it's still the right direction it's still true whether my life was going according to my likings or not did not change whether this is true or not did not change whether mosenu was a mount SA or not I already knew at that point that Torah is true what's happening to my life that's it is what it is it doesn't change the truth and that's the problem that sometimes we have we think that just because our life is terrible that therefore the Torah is not true therefore that God doesn't care therefore God is too busy and so on and so forth and this is a mistake of a lifetime this is a mistake of a lifetime when a person sees the things are not going his way it doesn't mean that Hashem doesn't care it actually means the opposite it means that hasem is paying careful attention to what you're going to do next problem is that sometimes instead of defaulting and going back to a and crying even more even though it didn't work the first 99 times crying the 100th time learning from when he cried 515 times most of us didn't cry even 15 times and we already gave up mosenu cried 515 times he didn't give up he only stopped because said stop if hasm didn't tell him to stop you would have continued till this day you would have never stopped said enough I don't want to hear anymore why if you pray 516 times I'm G to have to let you go into like you want but I don't want to so M didn't want to stop but he wanted to fulfill the will of hem Hashem said stop I stop even though I want to pray and I want to go in and I know that one more for sure is going to work because hhm just told me 516 works I did 515 I only need one more but hasm said no so what's the point of getting what I want if it's not what hasm wants so sometimes what we fail is that we don't try 55 times we don't even try 15 times instead we look for a shortcut we make a phone call to somebody we shouldn't call we ask a favor from somebody we shouldn't ask anything from like for example the Jewish world today has some type of a uh blinders on where for some reason most Jewish people today religious or not religious do not view Christianity as a problem do not view Christianity as the poison of poisons so much so that many Orthodox shs specifically modern Orthodox have got to the point of such comfort with the Christian world that they invite Christian speakers to come speak at their shools like of course many of you remember that have been with me for a few years our uh dear friendy Goldberg wanted to bring the biggest Christian Missionary in the world to come give a shabbaton to his Kaa in boaron that stopped in Baltimore there's a rabbi that's doing a um a radio show called the rabbi and the priest or the rabbi and the pastor something like that meaning he's everyday is with his best friend who the idol worshipper and many of the KE are inviting Christians to speak the Jewish Federation APAC is funded by Christians for the most part the new CEO of Jewish of Jewish Federation is a conservative Jew who doesn't even wear a keeper let alone keep Shabbat they just announced it last week is the new CEO so the new CEO of American Judaism doesn't practice Judaism how did this happen how did this happen how do how do we get to this we got to this by using our own flawed logic a person I'm not going to name made a big mistake in he tried correcting it a couple of weeks ago he posted that as a modern Orthodox person he decided that it's a goodidea idea to raise money for the Evangelical Church he's he's he's a modern Orthodox person that people follow but he decided that it's a good idea to raise money for the church to send their priests or pastors or whatever Idol worshippers is to help them why they can teach them more Christianity I said what happened here how did this happen I got in touch with him and uh I told me realize this is against the law this is against T this is now do such a thing in his logic is the same logic that all of the shs and rabbis and so on are using what is the logic the logic is is that he says wait a minute but don't you realize that the Christian World invests millions and millions of dollars into is every day over $40 million in tourism comes just from Christians they're the number one tourist in is the fact that there is supposedly governmental support from America to is due to the Evangelical Christian Church according to him so therefore they're supporting us and there there because of them because of them because of the Christians the idol worshippers according to idol worship because of them they're given so much money and so much support and so much Hush Hush in Donald Trump's ear so much of that because of that Jewish soldiers are being saved why shouldn't we reciprocate return the good no this is 100% heresy I said it to on spot I said you realize what you just said is completely against right why I said the only reason the soldiers are alive the only reason this governmental support the only reason for anything and everything that you thought of said and didn't say is that's the beginning middle and an end thinking anything else makes you a heretic that has no share of the world to come you could follow Shabbat you could put five pairs of a day you could keep Shabbat twice a week you can eat kosher and at the same time whatever you want make your own rules you can know the whole sh back and forth like the you believe that something is in the hands of man instead of you have no share of the world to come that's how easy it is to lose unfortunately many people are so confused why because they don't learn enough about means that you have to have confidence that is watching every single thing that you're doing this is critical and bet says that when we go to find Solutions anywhere else other than our Sid anywhere else other than our gar anywhere else other than our Rabbi anywhere else other than a word of Hashem we have a very very serious problem why because we're bringing a curse onto oursel because when we actually follow what hasem says we'll not only get the answers and get blessings in this world but we'll also get rewarded for that in the next World now if a person sees that he's having struggles managing certain things of his life one of the things that is highly recommended is to get yourself a bio of any sik get yourself a bio you know the BIOS you know in the business World they used to read bios of of famous businessmen whether was a Warren Buffett or any of these businessmen after you read a bunch of them you realize it's all the same thing just different numbers but when it comes to when it comes to the everyone one of them is a life Cher why they're all completely different completely different stories completely different tests completely different everything every time you read one of them it's like you connect to this sadik you're like wow I feel like I was with him I feel like I was with him going through all of this stuff one of the sikim said he went to the doctor one time because he had pain in his leg so the doctor said we're sorry you have a disease in your leg we have to uh amputate the leg this this is in the days where amputations were still coming so he says if this is what it is this is what it is we have to rather amputate the leg than amputate then then kill the whole body so they amputated the leg after they finished the family comes to visit and they see that the doctors are outside of the room arguing and they overhear the argument you do it you do it no you do it you tell them you tell them so one of the family members didn't have much manage hey you tell him what you tell him what so the doctor is like sweating bullets doesn't know what to say he's like eating his own words we made a mistake what we made a mistake what kind of mistake he says when we decided to cut his leg we were looking at the wrong file it was somebody else's leg that was supposed to be cut off but it's too late now so the same guy didn't have much manners was like a cousin that you never want to see he's like oh I'll tell him he bolts into the into the room hey what's up rabie he's like recovering he's still got pain it's not like today though you don't feel anything anymore ah okay okay okay how's everything listen I don't know if you know if they told you but you know it's whole thing is a mistake right like no no nothing No Remorse no like let me give it to him easy the Rabbi says to him what do you mean it's a mistake mistake he says outside you heard the argument that's the doctors they're arguing said it's a mistake that they cut the leg with somebody else he tells him the whole story I just told you the rabbi responds to him and he says my rabbis they taught me that everything that you just said is everything you just said is heresy against hasem why there's no such thing as mistakes if Ed my leg to be cut off it was the right thing to do maybe they made a mistake but does not make a mistake why we learned from page 7B says that if a person gets a needle a prick in his finger you know he's sewing something or she's sewing something and you know by mistake he pricked his little finger little blood comes out ouch you know a little baby cry a little bit put little Band-Aid on tell you going to kiss it okay after that he has to Dove on it like why did this happen to me why did this happened to me why did hasem allow this needle to pierce my skin and have some blood he's actually supposed to be asking a much deeper question what's the question not why did this happen only but how long did it take the sh to review to analyze to conclude that I deserve this why because before every little prick goes into a finger before every little pain that you have in your life actually gets decreed from Heaven there's a b in sh that has to decide guilty let it happen so the rabbi tells them before they decreed in sham that I have to lose my leg you know how much they reviewed they reviewed my whole life they reviewed your life they reviewed his life they reviewed everybody's life why they review everybody else's life it's only my leg because a has a system of reward and Punishment the reward and punishment is not only on the person that's directly affected but rather on the people that are indirectly affected meaning when before he cut my leg he decided let's see he deserves it for whatever he did to lose his leg but what about his wife that's going to suffer also what about his son that's also going to suffer he's not going to be able to play with him anymore what about his wife that's going to have to take care of him what about the doctors that going to have to treat him what about his neighbor what about his partner what about his dog what about his cat what about everybody else that's going to actually endure this pain what about his long lost friend that he hasn't seen in 20 years but it's on the way to town he's going to see him for five minutes when he sees him for those five minutes he's going to feel bad about it that his friend from 20 years ago lost a leg does he deserve it also before they cut my leg they had to do all of that judgment all of that analysis which means that by the time they decided it it's impossible for it to be a mistake the only reason we think there's mistakes in the world like oh it shouldn't happen to me it can't happen to me I can't believe it's happening to me all these types of things that people say is simply because we have onedimensional vision we see things just what's in front of us there's a wall we see the wall we don't see what's behind the wall sees the beginning middle and and all at the same time and the less a person questions Hashem the easier their life is going to be now the BET continues and he says Hashem has a solution to the problem even when you think it's hopeless if a person has no means by which to make a living He shouldn't despair since he does not have the obligation of toiling now because it's not possible in his particular situation he can trust in Hashem to provide for him even if heaven forbid disaster is imminent and the person sees no way of escaping it nevertheless the ways of Hashem are hidden from our eyes and he can rescue faster than a blink of an eye as the Book of Job said in Chapter 13 verse1 15 even if they were about to kill me I will hope to hem for my rescue as in page 10 they learn from this that even if a sharp sword is resting on one's neck you should not refrain from prayer and as it says in Shu also the third source for this Hashem puts to death and gives life lowest to the grave and raises up even from the bottom of the Grave he raises up these are three different examples that the BET says now if let's say for example you have a situation you have a very difficult circumstance you now heard my Shu let's say about the uh cash advance business it's getting good traction we had very very good news a couple of hours ago YouTube sent us a uh a message they're saying that my video has to be censored from now on so anyone that wants to watch that particular particular video has to press confirm I'm I'm allowing myself to watch this censored video why why is this video being censored what is it nudity would you guys see me uh with with no shirt on what happened why is it being censored like it's a uh I'm showing dead bodies why because the Satan doesn't like it Satan doesn't doesn't like when you tell people the truth especially when those same people were already on his train to gain home any single person that's in the business right now and ignores what I said has no chance in the world to come zero chance doesn't matter if they give every single penny you can't make in a way of sin it's impossible so now the people that watched it a few people send me a questions you have this you have that question all types of nice questions no problem but then some people say hey this guy's ruining my business this guy's ruining my business how do I take this thing down how do I get how do I make sure that nobody else sees this video why all of his employees are Yeshiva kids all of his employees are Jewish kids if they see this video they're all going to quit tomorrow why they have they just simply don't know the truth they don't know the truth most people that are involved in this business don't know half the truth of what happens behind the scenes why because most of the guys that are in it are Brokers now anyone that's in a business long enough is going to find out why you have to be evil to stay in it we're not going to delve into it but I'm going to tell you why now if you in it for six months a year you don't really know anything yet well all you know is you call Mr Jones Mr Jones says yes I'll borrow 10,000 100,000 500,000 whatever it is you're happy gol lucky you're going to give the guy the money that's all you see you got the commission check the commission's very high you're as happy as can be yay to you you go spend the money before you even got it next day you come back to work hey I'm the guy that got the half a million dollar deal oh yeah yeah you got a new chair you got a new chair today yesterday you didn't have a chair now you have a new chair course you got to close the guy so you get a chair today okay so this day you have a chair you close the guy for a million dollars ah million dollars oh you get two chairs now you get an assistant you get this you start feeling good about yourself you get all these clients you start calling people yeah I got to call my client back yeah I got a meeting with them start feeling important because you're 18 years old 19 20 years old you feel like you have clients you feel you have client you feel like you're Mr important you're giving people money like it's your money like that's if it's your money what's the problem problem is that you don't understand what's actually happening these people just signed their own death sentence why any one of you that's old enough to have credit knows that once you actually have a credit card with 25% interest it is almost impossible for you to ever pay it back unless you pay long large sums large onetime sums why because even with 25% interest even with 25% interest it eats so much it creates so much added Capital that you owe that it makes it very very difficult to sustain now in the cash advanced business we went to one of the went to one to ask him about this business make sure that before I say anything there's much much bigger rabbis than know what they're doing better than I could ever know we said let's be conservative we're not going to say 400% if I say 400% they're going to start saying I'm not GNA say I said we said to them listen biges we said listen there a business where people lend money for 47 or 49% I don't remember 47 or 49 we asked but give or take 2% 47% or 49% interest but only to go not even to Jew I didn't even mention the whole argument of Jews you don't have to be for that you just need to read one time in your life you're already going to know that you're not have to land to Jews not even you can already learn I said only lent toim at 47% they started yelling at us what are you stealing from people you're going to create the Holocaust what's the matter with you people all you care I said no it's not me it's not me I'm I'm oh okay okay okay tell the people they're stealing I said tell the people it's an industry and it's not 47% Sumer is close to 400% if it's cheap it's 80 70 9050 said it's not allowed it's this and that oh they started giving me rules I said okay okay it's enough is enough okay I got the point it's not allowed you tell this to people some people they say okay I have to change careers why because uh it's not allowed but then other people say what's so bad about it what's so bad about it so I'm going to tell you I'm going to tell you what's so bad about it as a broker broker okay worst part of my career I had a very good career 16 years on Wall Street made a lot of people a lot of money for a long time worst part of my career is when I started losing people money not on purpose accident investment in a workout calling people and telling them hi Mr Jones you know the deal that we had you see it on the market we bought it this it's lower worst possible thing in the world you can do why you feel responsible that you took the money even though you didn't you lost money also I was my own biggest investor I lost more money than any my my investors but I still felt horrible to tell people I lost money why you gave trust to me to make the right decision I made the right decision but the right decision was still wrong was not sufficient we lost money we lost a lot of money I felt horrible about it this is much worse why because what you're going to see if you're a broker for long enough in a cash advanced business six months after people borrow the money eight months after they borrow the money a year after they borrow the money a lot of them are going to start calling you hey Steve yeah my name is not really Steve it's really Yakov but I go by Steve because it's more American okay okay Yakov listen uh listen buddy I appreciate you lending me the money about a year ago you remember that yeah yeah yeah I remember you I remember you John yes I remember okay well uh listen uh business didn't work out so well and uh I need more time but apparently this Bank you tied me up with like as if it's your father's Bank like you responsible you work for the company the bank that you tied me up with well they just put my house on their name why because that was part of the collateral and now they own my house Steve Yakov give me my house back what are you going to do I can't I'm just a broker I built my company for 30 years Steve they just took the company give me my company back Steve you're the one that put me in it you little 19y old nothing what you g to do what are you going to say oh was just a broke I made my $2,000 commission yeah but you ruin my life you ruin my life with your 2,000 you should have told me listen I can ruin your life or you could just send me $2,000 which one do you want guess what the guy would have sent you 5,000 just don't ruin his life just don't ruin his life but that's what's happening people don't think the future the future is going to be where people can't pay this interest back and then they want to get a new loan to buy the old loan to get themselves more time and that just puts them into a deeper hole than they got into in the first place and guess what you ruin their life even without the CJ even without the Mal that I talked about last week even without it you still ruin their life why because they have credit they cannot pay back and no one's going to buy this credit why no one wants this credit no one wants this so now you have a business that literally ruins people's lives and the people that don't like to hear the truth guess what they do they go complain to YouTube they complain to Facebook they complain to whoever they except to Hashem except to the person that's in the mirror they complain to them so why he censor this guy don't have him continue speaking about this why he's going to ruin my business I'm not going to be able to steal from people anymore so says that a person that is going to go to this change where now he has to change a career last month he made $10,000 finding a replacement for $10,000 a month is not easy it may take you a while is telling you don't worry it's going to be okay if you left a sin for me I guarantee you're going to be okay guarantee you're going to be okay even though it doesn't look like it even though you're only 20 25 30 years old with zero skills and it doesn't look like you could you could replace a 10 $20,000 a month income I promise you you're going to be okay you have to have it's very very difficult very difficult to overcome the test of money I remember when I was a kid the industry that was happening at the time was Electronics a lot of Jewish people were in electronics at the time and the way to make money in that time to be be a criminal at the same time was to sell brand new Goods as as refurbished Goods as as brand new so stuff that broke people return it to the store goes back to the manufacturer they rehash it fix it they send it back they sell it resell it again to stores as a refurbished product but unfortunately some criminals what they would do is they would remove the stickers that it's actually a refurbished product they'd get some other Thief to give them brand new boxes and make it seem as if this is brand new Goods they would sell old or used goods and Essence secondhand Goods as brand new now the customer for the most part it didn't really matter to them because the product was fine the product was working but it's still you're still stealing according to the Torah why you're selling them something that's not new as new it's not new you're selling it as new the price is significantly different you're talking about 30 50 60% difference this still goes on to this day by the way the problem is when a person does not have fear of hem he's always going to go to different things that are always going to be sins always going to be against hem and the reason why is because he feels like he has to help hem give him money he wants to make more more money than anybody else so he needs to help hem because if he goes to a regular job go to work I don't know for UPS or something and UPS is going to pay him in the beginning he going to pay him I $60,000 a year he's like yeah $60,000 a year is good for me 5 years ago but I already got used to 120 I already got used to 150 I already got used to $200,000 so I'm going to have to help him so I'm going to work for UPS but I'm also going to steal a few packages on the side I'm gonna help hem why because hm is didn't help he didn't help me enough and he wants me to send my kids to Yeshiva so I'm gonna send my Kida I'll steal an iPod once a week every shipment that comes from Apple I'll steal one and it's lost UPS has so many shippings they won't even notice or like somebody that I know this uh good friend of mine actually works for UPS he told me years ago this maybe seven eight years ago a uh group of his uh of his people that worked in his Center got caught doing what they were they decided to have a side gig use UPS trucks use their everything else but they have a side gig what transferring either one of them was transferring stolen products another one was actually the one stealing the products and the third one wanted to go the extra mile he was is transferring cocaine via UPS thank you for coming come back again people have no in and they start doing stupid things why they think they need to help AEM to give them P so we're almost done with this section then I'll open it for questions remember the story of yonah who was in great distress and Hashem rescued him from the whale and the burning Sun if enemies come to harm someone he should remember what it says in Mish Proverbs 58:1 when Hashem is pleased with the ways of a man even his enemies make peace with him a person could literally get to a point where if Hashem is happy with him Hashem will tell him how happy he is with him how do you know he's happy with you when your enemies come to you and start saying I'm sorry for no reason Hey listen you know about three years ago I hurt you I stole from you I did this to you I did that to you yeah I'm really my bad man I'm sorry I forgot about you but you here to say I'm sorry what is that for what is that for that's hasm saying son I'm happy with you I'm happy with you I'm GNA send my your enemies I'm going to send them to you they're going to start saying I'm sorry one after another that's assuming your enemies are not just people that are just outright evil and want evil and they are evil and they have nothing talk about they're still decent people but they made a mistake people make mistakes and you my friend have to forgive them forgive them fully say I'm you know I forgive you I forgive you I forgive you there's no uh there's no uh wisdom in keeping the uh anger at people that already said I'm sorry to you and the reason why is because if you keep the anger if you keep this mentality that uh you know they did wrong by you once and therefore they're forever judged then all you're doing is signing your own judgment that's how they're going to treat you in sham if you're not merciful they're not going to be merciful on you in sham if you're merciful they'll be merciful on you so then he then he says when AEM is pleased with a person even his enemies make peace with him but even when the enemies of the nation of Amal even the nation of Amal it says in the sadik will rejoice when he sees his revenge that when it comes to certain type of wicked people like amalik those types of people they're not going to come and say I'm sorry why because they're amalik they're like I said before they're just evil but other regular normal people that just did wrong by you they'll come back and say I'm sorry I'll give you an example just thinking remembering it now about uh 4 5 days ago some phone number that I don't know sends me a text says hi Rabbi such how you listen I just wanted to say I'm sorry because two and a half years ago I said something bad about you to a different Rabbi and it created turmoil between people that were on your team and that Rabbi and she went you know the whole thing and I just want this is really a long overdue apology I just wanted to say I'm sorry without really thinking about it much I said okay no problem you know you're forgiven but I just thought about it for myself I said what's it to her like it's not like we go to the same Shool it's not like we have the same friends it's not like I'm ever going to see her most likely not and if I see him most likely it's going to be one look and I'm going to go somewhere else cuz I'm see it's a woman and it's not my wife I'm going somewhere else like that's the reality like we're never going to connect we're not going to be best friends we're not going to have dinner together like why would she go out of her way to say I'm sorry to me out of all people in the world this is simply a sees one person on one end is trying to do his will trying my best to do his will on the other hand she's also trying to do his will she's also trying to do good she says Hashem listen you know and I know I messed up why two and a half years ago I said something about this Rabbi really wasn't warranted really wasn't true really was terrible and it caused a lot of harm to some people maybe stuff he knows about maybe stuff he doesn't know about because a lot of the stuff that happens to you in your life you don't realize what's happening behind the doors you don't realize sometimes you didn't get the job because somebody said something but you're never going to find out or like one time we had a sh we had a sh scheduled took us a year and a half to schedule this Shu and uh they called they wanted to have the sh okay same price as everybody else free we're going to bring some kiru packages there we're going to bring some books you know we're going to invest into the community okay everything is good we show up into the sh almost nobody there now the key lie is maybe three 400 people so even if you don't like me half of you show up why it's an event for your Sho it's not like just no it's an event for your sh you even even if you don't like me half you show up 150 show up if you like me 300 show up if you really like me maybe you bring your friends too 500 people going to show up the way you show up almost nobody there and then Sunny says wait where's the Flyers where's the posters where' they go like what are you talking about he goes I was here a couple days ago see the place it's full of posters now there's nothing what happened we found out after the fact some Wicked person decided to make the initiative because she doesn't like me she doesn't like me she decided what am I going to do I'm going to go and tear the poster up tear them all off the wall and I'm going to tell every yeah I'm tearing going ask why you tearing off the poster is a she in a few days no no it was cancelled anybody asked me it was canceled people are not going so the next day they going to see well if she's tearing off if the sh is not saying anything no one says anything because no one knows there's no posters there's no sh guess what no one's going to show up why because there's no nothing now guess what this person has to now deal with one thing one thing very simple if there were going to be 150 people that show up you know what better yet let's be conservative let's say they don't like me 50 people show up 50 people show up you have an event 50 people show up those 50 people every single one of them would have heard something in the sh that's connected to them they would have had an opportunity to do TR for that one thing now every single time if there was let's say for example one person that was going to start keeping because of the shoe another person was going to leave his Goya wife another person was going to leave his illegal job another person was going to start keeping kosher everybody was going to do something and now there's no sh guess what every single time they make that sin he violat Shabbat he eats pork he's still with his wife that's not Jewish and so every single time they make that Sin from now on until eternity it goes to her it goes to her it goes to her account goes to them too but it goes to her account Al and she doesn't even know she doesn't even know she thinks she's okay why she canel the sh she canel Rabbi Ruben to come make people do you guys crazy make people do are you insane in this day and age we have to become nais what do I'm gonna stop it I'm gonna stop him do guess the best part is she's religious she she looks three three stories three stories but she wants to be too religious now R to come so now a person like this he she can't fix it that's a sin you can't fix why you have to figure out who would have come who would have come who would have done chuva what they would have done chuva for how they would have done Chua when they would have done Chua what it would have caused who would it would have told the next day this is a person that show up thinking oh I kept Shabbat the three stories high everything is good and they sh all the murders and rapes and and and pedophilia she caused her life because of all the people that didn't do Chua there show a world that she created without even knowing she created a holocaust and now she show that's me that's you that's you why you took the posters off so you see somebody makes a mistake some mistakes are easy to fix all you got to do is say a text message say I'm sorry I did such and such I'll tell the other people that are involved that I did such and such and that's fixed finished but other people make such stupid mistakes they can't fix it so easily so that's why a person needs to always always remember what we said in the beginning of the realize that a is watching every single thing that you do and finally he says remember that abah ainu was victorious in the war with the Four Kings and the mid says that his soldiers thre through sand which was miraculously transformed to arrows remember the Battle of King David versus golat in which King David was Victorious using neither sword nor spear so there's plenty of examples in the Torah where is won battles that really didn't seem like it's something that you can win this is supposed to be a illustration of what your life is supposed to be like you're not supposed to go into battle knowing that you're going to win then it's not a battle you're supposed to go into life's Battle of things that you simply have am inem and confidence in hem that he's going to help you you don't go into a business simply because you know you'll do good at it you go into a business because you know that this business will allow you to live a Jewish life will allow you to be close to hem will allow you to have a schedule where you could learn to every day will allow you to be still a servant of hem without being a desecrator of hm's name simply all you're looking for is a kosher business how much money you end up getting it's none of your business I know plenty of guys that were stock Brokers when I was a stock broker they're still broke to this day to this day they're still broke still trying to get a few coins together hopefully they make three grand a month hopefully to this day they're broke they were in a business even before me could never make a dime could never make a dime I was right next to them I started out there was this one guy Robert Bobby didn't like me so much why I was the new kid on the Block and kid that didn't stop working he would come into the office I'm already there for a few hours he would leave the office I'm already there for another few more hours I was always there was like a like a statue I was always there and he's like why you here all the time you don't even make any money I said I'm gonna make some money one day I'm gonna make some money ah you're wasting your time kid go find a new business and I continued I continued I continued a year later I became the number three producing broker in the entire country for the company 5,000 Brokers him being one of them he's still making his measly three four $5,000 a month and has a side gig to to sell some toys or something and I just made more money in one month than he made the whole year and he hated me more than he hated any himself why because I had something I had a goal I had a dream I achieved it and so on and so forth this la de is supposed to be your life you are supposed to go after things not because you're gonna make millions or not make millions you're going to go after things because it Mak sense because it's going to help you serve AEM it's going to help you live a Jewish life it's going to help you do the things that you're supposed to do in life because this is the bigger purpose this is the bigger purpose if a person lives their life that way way they already are success on day one if they don't they will always be a failure because there'll never be enough no matter how much you make no matter how much you do no matter what you do so it's a constant reminder that we have every day to remember that aadh is watching if he's watching and you know he's watching then everything is going to be okay even when things are very dark if you don't think he's watching and he is is watching that everything is already not okay so this series is supposed to at least just give us a little bit of a reminder a little bit of a reminder to apply this sense of knowledge that runs runs our life runs the world in our daytoday life and not just in a synagogue not just when we wear a keeper like whether you wear a keeper or not hashm is still there he doesn't go away like sometimes people go to sh they put the keeper on they leave the sh they put the keeper off why what God is not outside guys not outside I don't understand what happened why why do the keeper go off they go in the Sho there's the keeper go outside the sh there's no keeper they go in the they go pray they put on they don't pray they put off in the sh everyone's honest outside of the Sho 50/50 why God's not outside if he's not outside why do you even go outside then just stay inside Be With God all day but if he's outside also then how come it change same thing with women they their mothers but only when they're home outside of the house when she's home she's wearing a pajamas that's three times bigger than her so she's modest she covers herself she puts the K on everything but she goes outside she wants to go buy some tomatoes and potatoes from a supermarket she puts on a uh an outfit that they had Vision at Eurovision over there she puts on an outfit from there she puts the outfit from there and uh the uh K goes off she puts a nice long wig to that's longer than the Exile and the outfit that covers only her feet the rest of the body neutral why God's not outside God's only inside your house why you leave your house then it's it's a very very simp simple concept but it's hard to hard very hard to apply why because it requires you to constantly do accounting of where's a now oh he's here where now oh he's here oh he's he's constantly here the answer is constantly the same thing if you start looking at things that way first and foremost you'll discover that your sins drop at least by 50% immediately why you start feeling embarrassed you start feeling embarrassed especially the big sins especially the big ones the ones that you know about Shabbat wasting seed like that immediately stops by 50% whym is watching you you're really going to do it next to him you're like he's right there and you're going to you're going to do this next if you were doing it behind his back okay no all of us no but come's right here watching you're going to do this now like imagine imagine you go to the store imagine you go to the store and you want like one of these I don't know chocolate bars the guy goes in the back the guy goes in the back and like you know what help myself to this bar Kos it's good I'll help myself with this bar now the second you put the bar put the bar and you're it's going close to your uh to your pocket it immediately the camera starts talking to you I'm watching what do you do that no I just I was just looking at it oh it's what you know the ingredients are also kosher you know that c St talking to the camera you start you feel why you're so embarrassed because Somebody's Watching You the guy is talking he was he was testing you he was going to the back and he has a camera in he has the TV in the back and he saw that you're about to put the little bar in your pocket then he has a little microphone I'm watching and you're like scared to death why at the end of the all would you steal a dollar what's you going to do Char press charges it's not that it's the embarrassment that someone caught you doing something wrong if a person takes to account that a is watching you all the time it becomes hard to to sin you have to have literally like such a desire to sin that you start losing your mind because of it like sometimes we have such desires we lose our mind we lose our cool we lose everything we start thinking only about this desire it's like an obsession about the desire whatever the desire is some people food some people sex some people something in between I don't know what it is people have desires sometimes a person is so infatuated with a certain desire they stop thinking clearly but if you think for a moment that is watching guess what that desire all the air from that balloon leaves why it's in diosy yeah I still want to do it but not now I'll do it later when he's not watching when he's not watching when he goes away when he goes to Steve's house when he goes some why I don't want to do in front of him he's watching he just said from the camera he's watching but that's what tells us says there's an ear that hears everything there's eyes that are watching everything there a book that who is writing everything down and eventually a person is going to go up to Sham and he's going to see that there's two toras what's the two toras one is his Torah one is yours one is his Torah that he wrote 974 Generations before he created the world the other one is you what you wrote every day what you did he did you said in the morning at 11:30 when I finally woke up I did half you know I put the head one on the arm the arm one on the head because I was really tired and I couldn't wait to go to McDonald's to get a Mickey D why that's going to be in your book it's going to be in your book why that the arm went on the arm that went on the leg you don't weren even show what you were doing why because you were so focused on the bagel with the egg and cheese and everything else from McDonald's it's not goer you were so excited about it you forgot the on your head you went do McDonald's with the on they had a uh some Jewish guy had a contest for a bunch of non-religious Jews I think it was in California he gave him a contest keep kosher for a week one kid went to McDonald's asked him do you have a kosher menu another then after they said no he went to he went to um Starbucks he says what's on your kosher menu he started going to all these fast he knew nothing apparently his parents I don't know live in a box and they never taught him something that there's kosher not Kosher so I mean even if you're not religious you should supposed to kind of know kosher not Kosher apparently no this kid went to all types of non kosher ask him about a kosher menu like he thought it's like a it's a certain taste maybe it's very very important F before we teach our kids that there is kosher before we teach our kids do you have to learn Torah before we teach our kids you have to work on yourself and you have to do this and you have to do that before you tell them alow and not allowed we have to work on the person that we see in the mirror that looks like us and I specifically specify the one that looks like us why because sometimes there's certain people they look in the mirror but they see everything that's behind them no no first person you see is you that's the person you work on why what do you work on you work on understanding believing and knowing that is watching all the time all the time whether you're in a casino or you're in a bathroom whether you're at the business or you're at the dental office whether you're in SHO or you're out of he's all the time watching so much so that the has even of how you're supposed to behave the bathroom is actually laws of how to behave mod laws of how to behave inside a bathroom you're not allowed to walk around naked like you're some uh zoo animal supposed to be modest even inside the bathroom point being is is watching if a person sees that understands it knows it life becomes much easier why because he knows that if he's watching me even when I'm in the bathroom if he's watching me even when I'm in the kitchen if he's watching me even when I'm in SHO needless to say he's watching me when I'm struggling with my wife when I'm struggling with my parasa when I'm struggling with my medical condition when I'm struggling with my kids when I'm struggling understanding this when I'm strug if he's watching me in all these other places needless to say he's also watching me when I need him to watch me when I want him to watch me he was watching me when I wasn't really so sure I wanted him to watch me because I wanted to steal that Twix bar I wanted to steal chocolate I didn't really want him to watch me but he watched me there needlessly say he's going to watch me when I need him to watch me and I want him to watch me why I struggle I have no hope and I need some help the only help is him he's watching that already gives me confidence oh everything's going to be okay why because at the end of the day even though he's God he's also he's also my father if he's my father he's watching he sees me in pain how long is he going to let it go if he's he's my father he sees me in pain how long is he going to let it go go right he's going to let it go as long as you don't think he's watching questions two things first of all you said that some should always beware embarass so I heard this thing that when someone's embarrassed you embarrass turn white and consider certain amount of time K so if you're if what if someone has that thing that they're embarrassed that much keep doing ding no no this is you're combining two things and not corrected you're in the right direction so the David we learn a law from David who learned a law from Tamar the wife of Judah and it says someone that embarrasses another person in public has loses their share of the world to come so much so that Hashem even gave it a scientific proof a scientific proof that you can see what we mean in this he says if you embarrass somebody in public it's like you're committing murder now DAV says to in the he says says if you were to cut my skin there would be no blood why cuz all of these people are constantly embarrassing me the head of the bedin the head of the bed number one biggest Rabbi in the world is publicly embarrassing me number two in AED publicly embarrassing me all of these people are constantly embarrassing me but I love you hash I'm just letting you know they're embarrassing me so Hashem says they have no share of the world to come even though he was the biggest Rabbi even though he was a big why because we have a rule what's the rule you embarrassed another person in public with in an illegal way because there are certain ways that you're allowed to embarrass person in public which I'll specify in a moment if you embarrass another person in public then you lose your share of the world to come now this is being confused with someone that has fear of hem as far as being embarrassed of hem when a person is embarrassed of hasem is not Hashem embarrassing him it's not somebody else embarrassing him it's that he is simply recognizing him recognizing his insignificance in the world you as a human being regardless of whether you're black white short long male female 30 years old 3 years old 300 years old don't make a difference every single one of us came from a seed a seed that if you saw it in the street you say disgusting you spit on seed it's disgusting why it's who wants to look at this garbage you came from that seed that seed came together with an egg and voila you have a human being one day that human being gets buried no matter how much money he has no matter how smart he was no matter how much he knew no matter how long his hair was or how dark his eyes were everybody gets put in the same little box same little box after they close the Box the worms have a nice appetizer for a little while until the snakes show up and that's what happens to the body everybody has the same beginning everybody has the same end point being and many many of the books of the Tor talk about it's constantly all over the T everything I just Des describe to you I didn't just create this as much as I would like to take it to my credit no creation here now all of this is important for a person to know where you were where you're going why once a person realizes that they came from nothing and they're going back to nothing what are you so proud about in the middle all you have was given to you by Hashem and anyway he going to take back except the you fulfill so in essence meaning by you acknowledging that you're nothing all you're doing is you're acknowledging the truth it's like saying you're your own oh I I am I am I I can't deny it I'm yon that's my name I'm yon no matter what I do I can change my name 500 times my original birth name is yon y r o n in English no matter what I do that's the way and by the way I wasn't named that such a nice person but the key is that's my name so me you say oh you're I'm me acknowledging it it's not embarrassing it's reality a human being acknowledging that there nothing especially in comparison to there's nothing embarrassing about it it's simply acknowledging the reality he created me from nothing I'm going back to nothing and all I'm going to have to show for it is what I did in between so that's not that's not hasm embarrassing you that is the foundation Foundation of foundation of fear of hem knowing where you stand once you know where you stand that helps you be a servant of hasem why because you realize that since I am the creation he is the creator therefore the creation must obey the Creator if your Lego pieces when you were a little kid your Lego pieces said hey go away I want to play with myself what are you going to do if he starts talking to you probably should sell on eBay make a lot of money but anyway in case he started talking to you he said I don't want to play with you anymore you little teddy bear start talking to you I don't want to play with you anymore what do you do you take out the battery and uh or something why I'm the master I'm going to dictate how I'm going to play with this toy you're not going to tell me how to play with you needless to say with the same thing we when we re realize he's the Creator we have to look at ourselves as at best a toy at Best But in reality the toy doesn't have the same consequences as us we have different consequences so it's not embarrassing it's just acknowledging the truth and I think that that's going to help your it's going to help your serving of hem because now you start off your day with realizing ah I know my role my role is not to be God my role is to serve God okay so what does God want from me oh he says he want okay I'll do no questions asked why that's what hasm wants somebody says oh what are you doing this morning I'm going to beess why that's just what hasm wants what you what else you doing put why that's what wants hm said it in the several times what else you going to do on you're going to come to the beach on Saturday no why I'm going to go to beet I'm going to keep Shabbat why that's what hasm wants he said it 12 times in the Tor and he said if I don't do it o what going to happen to me he didn't only say what to do he said what you shouldn't do so now once you realize I'm the creation he's the Creator he's the boss he's the master he's the almighty he's the omnipresent he's the omnip pit he's everything and I'm just nothing automatically it helps your life why you know your role and it's much easier to do your role When You Know Your Role when do we have problems when we think we have a different role like for example you see women of the wall any of you heard of women of the wall women of the wall say reformed women that decide they want to go to cotel and put onine and mini skirts at the same time mini skirts tank top andin now generally generally women don't put on fing in this generation generally don't put on feel they should put on clothes but they don't put on fing they don't want to put on a clothes but they want to put on instead what what does that mean they don't want their role as a woman to be modest to be holy to be KES no they want to show no I could be like a guy I could be a guy and put on so they got go up to sh and say okay men's section here men's section uh you're not men you thought you were okay well you know what we're going to put you with the rest of the animals because they also some of them thought that they were something else you know the dog thought he was a man so he started like looking at you in a funny way the cat want to sleep in the bed and so he thought he was a animals sometimes think they're people so I'm going to put you with the animals over there and you guys figure out what you're going to do you have to know your role it's important to Know Your Role why if you don't know your role you're already going to make a mistake starting your day it's important to Know Your Role next question yes if a person also he's not allowed to embarrass yourself not allowed to embarrass yourself unless you're embarrassing yourself with an intention of serving a by bringing to yourself not embarrassing yourself because you just have nothing good to say but embarrassing yourself because you know you're uh there's many of the would go into the Exile this is a they would go into the Exile where people did not know who they are and they knew that they're going to insult him because of it and they did it anyway because they were doing a unless a person is at that level they should not bring embarrassment to themselves and definitely not say about themselves because it's still considered a sin but if you know what you're doing then it's a different story but in this generation there's very very few that actually know who what when and how um point being is that there's no need for you to embarrass yourself it's easy enough to embarrass ourselves by simply making mistakes we don't need help yes being in theer to completely there Gods everywhere is there like an issue with that no there's no issue with being naked in the shower there's an issue with uh as as far as a uh being there for an extended period of time meaning you're just there and uh you feel overly comfortable with your nakedness a man should never feel overly comfortable with his nakedness and neither should a woman you're supposed to go to a shower clean yourself uh if you're uh if you're uh single then uh according to the you're not allowed to touch your member you're supposed to clean yourself with some type of uh sponge or something like that but don't touch your member with with your hand uh if you are married then you are allowed to uh touch yourself uh obviously not in a provoc way just to clean yourself but still you know you should use a sponge anyway um but in general the point is they supposed to wash yourself get it done finish go out not just be there and uh shower just like sitting there and uh enjoying the uh 35 minutes of of warm water you're not supposed to do that and the reason why is number one it's a waste of time unless it's for health reasons it's a waste of time number two it'll most likely lead you to sin in just a matter of time because of your level of comfort with yourself you will eventually sin with yourself uh and one of those sins which for men is wasting seed it was better off for a person not to come to the world and to sin like that one time unfortunately this in his generation it's an epidemic even yes that people don't even know it's a sin let alone it's a very big sin but the point is is that a person should try their best not to be overly comfortable with themselves because it'll help them overcome that addiction and a few guys that I know that I've helped with the with with that have uh have overcome the uh their addiction because of specifically following this instruction specifically not being overly comfortable with themselves following what the says even though it sounds strange feels strange in the beginning you get used to it you get used to it but in general it's not a problem for hasm to see you naked it's a problem for you to see you naked he doesn't have a problem it's the problem is with us you know the prayers that we do in the morning is not for him it's not to remind him that we love him it's to remind ourselves that we love him you know the the prayers that we have for example every single day that we pray for hem in amid three times a day Hashem give me this give me this give me this give me Health give me money give me wife give me kids give me give me give me wa he doesn't know what you want he's God he knows everything right so why do you keep asking him why do we keep at three times a day yesterday he knew did anything change between yesterday and today no so why why is he asking us to pray three times a day why because the reminder is not for him the request is not for him the reminder is for us to remember what's important and also what we have to remember what we have already what he already gave us and what's important in life because if you look at what we ask for versus what we pray for usually it's two different things we pray for Basics basic sustenance basic peace and quiet basic life of decent health and so on and so forth we ask for Rich in Fame we ask for you know all types of things that are not necessarily good for us we ask for a lot of things are not good for us so says pray for what you need why it's a reminder for you I already know what you need and I'll provide you what you need but you should remind yourself what you need this is also why just as a side note why for example the giving uh 10% when you give M thear says the way that a uh Shepherd gives m is as follows m is a TI giving 10% of your giving 10% of your income to Tor so what is it what is it for how does it done says the the shepherd this what he does says that he makes a small opening makes a small opening and he lets the sheep or the uh other cattle pass through the small opening 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 nine 10 on the 10th one he takes right red paint and he paints it he puts a red mark on it and then again 1 2 3 4 5 6 seven8 nine 10 10th one another red paint nine no paint 10th one paint now ask this question why didn't you just count the whole thing in the open field much easier than this whole process I have 100 sheep I have 100 cows take 10 that's the M why go through this whole process why go through this whole process it's like for example I say okay you give M how much did you make this week I made $1,000 okay so count one two three four five six seven eight nine 10 take a dollar out one yeah it will take you three hours just to give Mel by the time you finish Mel it's already the next paycheck excuse me what why why do it that way why IAB again says something genius he said says the red paint the counting it's not for hasem it's not for the M it's not for the rabbi who's it for it's for the giver it's for you why you think it's all your money why you worked hard for it you think it's all your sheep you worked hard for them you rais them you feed them you groom them you do everything you look at a 100 cows soow look at these cows and the rabbi comes oh yeah you have to give 10 that's 100 cows you know how hard I work to feed these cows you go feed them you want 10 you go feed them no hem says you have 100 cows you have to give 10 you have a 100 cheap you have to give 10 you have $1,000 you have to give a hundred no it's AEM but I work so hard for them you feel like it's like a part of your life it's like a limb so hard for people to give what I work so hard for this money I work so hard for this cattle I don't want to give it I don't want to give it look it's all mine so hasem says okay you know what let's do the count let's see let's do the count well split let's do it we'll split how we going to split AEM let's see okay let's count one for you two for you three for you four for you five also for you wow hasm is so kind with me it's a good partnership six for you seven this one for me also for you eight for you nine for you hem when is it going to come to you oh it's my turn now one for me oh one for you that's a good deal I got nine okay let's do it again one for you two for you three and me do this all the time you you you you by the time you get to 10 like please take something already take something you give me so much that's the right way to do you count your blessings of what you got not what you're giving you realize you got $1,000 in reality for what for being a human being that came from nothing going to nothing it becomes much easier to give why because you remember you got it from who from him what does he want go take a piece of it and go help this is why we do the Mitzvah that way you're supposed to count constantly count your blessings any other questions yes sometimes it works that way sometimes it works that way it depends it depends on uh well first it depends on what you define is strict but in general there is a uh adjustment period that a person that a person has to go through as far as life adjustments so for example if a person was working on Shabbat he was in a car business or some type of business that he worked on Shabbat and now he's not going to work on Shabbat so this is a very M major life adjustment because sometimes in those businesses that you work on Shabbat that's usually the biggest day of the week it's the most profitable day of the week so that's a big adjustment because you still in the back of your mind think that had you worked on Shabbat you would have made more money that's the false belief that the yet wants you to believe he wants you to think that had you worked on Shabbat you would have actually made more money and that's a wrong conclusion the real conclusion is that regardless of how many days you work regardless of what job you have regardless of what you do you're not going to make more money by working on Shabbat it may look like it it may look like it it may even add up that way this the company will just give you a salary for that day but just because a person makes more money does not mean he's going to keep it some people made millions of dollars but have zero to show for it you know so it doesn't mean just because you made the money doesn't necessarily mean that you'll end up keeping it second thing is that uh when it comes to doing mitv in the long run no one ever loses for doing mitv but there is an adjustment period because number one we are still limited with our understanding of how Hashem runs the world because we still think that we have to distribute a certain amount in order for him to do something so we have to work a certain amount in order for him to give us the right P doesn't necessarily mean that way we do what we need to do as far as our our effort he'll give us the same exact P that was decreed already in he'll give us the panasa it's not it doesn't make a difference what career you have when a person truly believes that what I just said 100% he'll simply learn to all day all night why because he knows that no matter what he does he'll get the money that he needs to get doesn't mean that he'll get millions or won't get millions it just means that'll get whatever hem decided regardless when a person has let's say 70% amuna or 60% am that means he'll work more and study less it's not a bad thing it just makes them normal point being is that every person needs to know that regardless of what they do they're going to make the same amount of P but if they don't work specifically to preserve the tah specifically to keep Shabbat and holidays and things of that nature then they are assuring themselves that they're going to have blessing with the money they make whatever money they make will be a blessed money meaning that they'll have more uh fortune that they actually keep and not waste on nonsense and things of that nature uh or medical bills and things of that nature the other thing also is that sometimes when a person starts doing chuva and he's more he's very very serious and he gets more serious and hasem likes his or her chuva then hasem starts to give him difficulties and the reason why is because Hashem sees that he made a lot of sins in the past that some he knew some he didn't know most of them he didn't know some of them he knew but didn't really think of realize the magnitude of them and now he's doing chat trying to fix everything so Shem says you know what let's just get all of it out of the way and fix everything everything not just what you're doing from now moving forward but everything meaning your whole past why because you're doing such great Chua I want you to pay for all those sins now in this world for the next 6 months for the next two years for the next uh 16 months whatever it is I want you to pay for now why because after that you continue going this way eternity will be pleasant for you not only will you have a good time in this world but when you get to me in sh you'll have no not even a second in not even a second of suffering why because you already paid for it upfront so sometimes hasem rewards a person with things that look like punishment uh in Ence it is a punishment but it's not given to you because he's punishing you he's giving it to you simply because he wants you to clean yourself up the punishment the the sins don't just go away because we start doing sins don't just go away because we start putting on sins don't just go away because we start keeping Shabbat they're still there something has to be you know has to take place something has to happen with them just because you decided that from now on I'm not going to throw any more mud at the window doesn't mean that the window is going to be automatically clean why cuz if you threw mud at the window for 20 years and now you decide I'm not going to throw mud anymore okay fine good for you you're not going to throw any more mud but it's still going to be dirty from everything that you did till now somebody has to clean it so hasem is telling you okay you know what since you're not going to throw any more mud on the window so it's not going to get ruined so now it's time to clean it let's clean it then why because since you're not going to throw it you're not gonna ruin it again might as well clean it so now you could actually even enjoy the pristine look of it clean now not just later and that's also one of the reasons so it is a difficult thing it is a very big test it happened to me also uh but trust and believe that knows exactly what he's doing and the end of the tunnel will always be light will always be light when the end is for each individual person it's a different uh it's a different answer I don't know it you don't know it nobody knows it but I could promise you for sure that if Hashem is is giving you difficulties it's very good news because that means that he still cares about you he cares enough to pay attention to you I would be worried if you told me that I'm doing all of the mitv I go to SCH I keep Shabbat I watch my bre I learn Torah I learned this I learned that but I feel nothing I Feel Complete emptiness I get zero Joy from any mitvah I get zero Joy from all of the uh things learning nothing I'm just there like a you know iin just there just like uh me and the Manakin are the same thing that I would be worried why because that means there's a problem there's a problem with what's going on is something but if you're saying that there difficulty that's a good sign it's a good sign because it shows that is paying attention to you and he cares about your chuva enough to give you difficulties and you'll pass it any else yes well first of all it has to be ethical business has to be ethical meaning you cannot take advantage of people this makes life a little bit difficult for salespeople because salese think for some reason or another somebody taught them during their sales uh training that in order to be a good salesman you have to cheat people you have to uh fool people you have to manipulate people that there that does somebody that manipulates people somebody that fools people is not a good salesman they're just a cman a good salesman is somebody that shows a person how good a product is really not how a bad product is good but how a product is good but they just they just show them what they perhaps don't see so a good salesperson is not someone that fools people but rather a person that brings shed light on Darkness so if a person is ethical they're going to have an easy time in life in general because number one they're going to have less lawsuits they're going to have a longer career and a much better conscience but a person is unethical they're going to cheat they're going to lie they're going to do all types of things they're going to be a life of regret says that are a have a long list of regrets Wicked people have a long list of regrets why because they know that what they're doing is wrong but they still choose otherwise because of their desires and their addiction and so on and so forth so first and foremost the business has to be ethical second of all it has to comply with Torah law which means that it cannot be a business that for example is open on Shabbat it cannot be a business that's open on holidays now if somebody owns the business and it's not you a non-jew owns the business you just happen to work for them then it's no problem they could be open on Shabbat you're not the owner the the the fact of opening on Shabbat is only a problem if you're the owner if you're not the owner you just work for them for example UPS I keep using UPS because I use UPS all the time so UPS UPS delivers on Shabbat but that's not a problem why because you let's say if you're a driver you just work for them but you're not driving on Shabbat you work let's say six days a week but it's not on Shabbat so that's fine but if you own the business you're not allowed to have it open on Shabbat now what happens if you have a business that has to be open on Shabbat and before you did Chua it was already open you already had this business for 20 years and um this whole time you open on Shabbat but now you're doing Chua but the business are everybody knows that you have to be open on Shabbat let's you have a store in a mall store in the mall you just go there and 50-50 chance if you're going to make it out you know with all the modesty that's there but let's you have a store in the mall now the malls have rules you're have to open your store all year round except if it's national holidays so what do you do Shabbat you have to be open holidays you have to be open what do you do if you not if you don't open they'll give you a fine and they could close your store down and that's your business and so on and so forth so what do you do you have to get yourself a non-jewish partner and you have to sell him the store for Shabbat meaning all the money that is made on Shabbat he gets whether it be a million do or it's $5 he gets it and you get your business whatever you have to evaluate how much that's worth and you have to get a partner but of course this is the simple simple solution to such a thing you should go to a uh Rabbi that knows your business and the industry and so on to and actually has uh to analyze the specific situation but in general even if you have a business business that uh is open on Shabbat there is a way to keep it open but you still cannot benefit from it a non-jew has to has to has to benefit from it um in general aside from it complying with the laws uh and being ethical uh it's a uh that's that's pretty much it I mean obviously if it's a uh it depends on the industry depends on the industry like for example a Jew is not allowed to have a non kosher restaurant and the reason why is because there's no way for him to know if his customers are Jewish or not so he's now violating multiple rules number one you're not allowed to cook kosher food so if he's the chef he's not even allowed to cook it two you're not allowed to eat it so if he sells it to to somebody and that person eats it that's a problem and three you're not allowed to even benefit from it you're not allowed to sell it to sell you're not even allowed to give it to a dog if you're so the problem is that a person that a Jew that owns a non- coer restaurant has a very very serious problem they have to get out of that business they're allowed to sell it but they're not allowed to uh own it uh you a question you're okay go ahead thew if the law of the land is unethical then you have to follow the law of t t is takes precedent over the land uh but the if the law of the land it doesn't make sense uh then obviously you have to make sure that you don't get yourself into trouble like for examp example there is a you know in every highway there is a uh speed limits and when the speed limits were originally created the world was very very different so today you know 55 uh speed limit or 60 miles an hour or even 65 miles an hour speed limit is not really relevant for the entire day maybe when there's more traffic but in many parts of the country whether it be Tennessee or Florida or other places where there's huge High ways you know it's 2:00 in the morning there's nobody in traffic for you to drive 65 miles an hour it's it's ridiculous it doesn't make any sense you could drive 70 you drive 75 and the safety doesn't change in fact statistics show that accidents happen more with slower slower highways than high speed highways so that's a law that doesn't make any sense if you break it even though it's the law of the land it's not a sin you just simply not allowed to put other people at risk on the other hand there's another law that the United States has that's a completely nonsensical law a law when it comes to investing called insider trading insider trading in so many words is let's say for example you want to invest into a public company a company that's a stock but you happen to have a friend that works for the company and your friend's a CEO or your friend works for the company and he has specific information at the com about the company and he knows that once this company announces this information it will influence the stock price whether up or down down now if he tells you this information and you act on it according to American law you can go to jail for 25 years meaning worse than a murderer murderers some sometimes go to jail for five years some longer but if you operate on insider trading unless you're Martha Stewart and you have a lot of in you're going to jail for 25 years even if you're a billionaire there's one guy named Raj Raj ratam apparently he didn't have enough connections even though he's a multi-billionaire he's in jail and he'll be in jail for another 20 years because he made some money off of insider trading now according to the Torah there's nothing wrong with inside of trading why all you are is being clever all you're doing is you're asking your friend listen what's going on with your company your friend says listen my company is fantastic company in a few weeks we're going to announce better earnings than what everybody expected we're going to announce that we're buying a different company we're going to announce the we're selling a company so you should get ahead you should buy into it now before everybody finds out that's just being clever and Torah says 100% allowed what's the verification from law from Land law that shows that it's actually a torah's right and not the America right because this is act insider trading is actually legal in every other trade in every other business and in most other countries like for example in Japan it's not only legal it's standard practice in in China in China if you don't use Insider information they make fun of you like what's the matter with you how could you buy into this company without knowing the details what's the matter with you how can you buy were you crazy you just bought were you American you just buy into things hoping what's the matter with you they make fun of you and in China they by the way how do I know this because we want to invest in China China has three classes of shares a shares B shares C shares C shares for for foreigners only one is allowed to buy a shares which is the real Market in China are Chinese people that's the ones that have the best information that's available to all Chinese people that know somebody you Americans no no you get the stuff that nobody cares garbage you get the garbage you get the seash shares so here's the thing that's in China it's perfectly legal now also in other businesses for example other Industries in in America if let's say for example you own you have a grandfather your grandfather has a building and he's handed with this building he wants to retire he says uh I can't wait to sell this building I'll take five million for it now you know it's worth 10 you know it's worth 10 everybody knows it's worth 10 but you know that your grandfather cuz he's your grandfather you know is want to sell for five so you go tell your friend listen buddy my grandfather is willing to sell for $5 million no if he lists it with the broker he's going to sell for 10 everybody gonna pay him 10 for this building it's a good building but I know he's won't take five why don't you and me go into it I'll convince him to sell because he's my grandfather you come up with the money I'll convince him to sell we made $5 million in a week Deal or No Deal Deal perfectly legal now even though you knew something that nobody else knew it's perfectly legal to buy the bill building for $5 million and sell it the next day for 10 so the law of the land is ridiculous point being is that it's a uh it's a uh law of the land is not always right last example is that insider trading until I mean they say it's not it's changed but it really hasn't changed until recent history was perfectly legal for any member of the government like if you were an officer in government in Congress you perfectly allowed to use Insider information to do whatever you want meaning everything that everybody else goes to jail for 25 years or more you could use it like it's uh talking to your buddy no problem next question okay then that that Jewish doctor needs to quit immediately because every time he he performs abortions it's considered 100% murder according to the Torah you never allowed to perform an AB abortion unless the woman is life is in danger meaning there P if there's P then you are allowed under that condition uh life risk life risk if the woman's life is at risk meaning if she gives birth or continues to carry this baby there's a risk that she would die then you're allowed to perform a a abortion no no no there's no no such thing whether whether the baby came from a rape or a uh marriage or even pedophilia or any awful horrible act we still are never allowed to kill anyone uh there's three sins that t says that it's better that a person die and not commit them one of them is idolatry so if they invite you to church it's better that a person die and not step a foot into church two is a um uh uh killing somebody murder that somebody says listen either you kill him or we kill you you have to die you cannot kill anybody else your blood is not more valuable than them even if they're not Jewish it's irrelevant you're not allowed to kill anybody and the third one is a sex crime you're not a man if they tell you listen either you have sex with this woman or will kill you you have to die you have to die you're not allowed to be with the woman again so so point is is that it's a there's three meaning die and not sin three cardinal sins we call in in Judaism the rest of sins are a person is allowed to violate like for example if they tell you eat pig or will kill you you're allowed to eat the pig even if you want to put ketchup on it no problem if they tell you uh you know go violate Shabbat or we kill you you're allowed to violate Shabbat but if they tell you those three other things not allowed to do it so abortion is 100% murder and according to the T the actually talks about talks about proves that the goes into the body at 40 days at 40 days now when it was written 40 days old when when when the baby's in still in the uterus that's when sh already he's already in there nowan on theth day 40th day that the woman is pregnant she's 40 days pregnant it's already there yes 40 40 I heard days eight days when you have do you remember no I'm talking the baby's born talking about days the woman's pregnant no 40 days 40 days so what's the baby before 4 days 40 days there no 40 days during the first 40 days it's a if there was ever going to be a leniency of certain things uh for extreme events and things of that nature it would be during those 40 days extreme event like what you're saying like for example somebody taking the morning after pill uh they don't know if they're even pregnant yet people don't know that they're pregnant during the first week it's not normal to for a woman to know she's pregnant during the first week usually she waits to miss her period usually it's not something that's normally known uh right away usually it takes a little while so during that time if she doesn't know let's say for example she was intimate with somebody and it wasn't exactly Mr Wonderful it wasn't exactly her husband if she goes to a PK the P will give her a leniency uh especially under circum extreme circumstances like you said like rape and things of that nature to take a morning after pill and things something like that to not even allow the uh the uh the seed to become an embryo now thear says that once it's 40 days it's 100% human being there's a in it no different than you and me it's just much smaller like 40 days before the 40 days it's not so it doesn't give it open uh policy to just uh every girl that uh is intimate can just take morning after pills left and right there's no permission from to do that during the first month there there's a there's there's certain things that are permiss permissible to do but not an open policy you have to go specifically Case by case there's no like a uh uh you could do whatever you want for the first 40 days because also the uh a person if they give an open policy to do whatever you want during the first 40 days it will lead to priscu which is a sin of its own and also if a person knows that they don't want to have a baby they're not allowed to be intimate with anybody because it's wasting seed which the calls the biggest sin in Judaism so there's many many other intricate parts that have to do with it but we're not a uh forcing certain things we're we're not close-minded to certain things and we also know that certain things happen like for example I have a uh I have a family member distant family member that her doctors told her that because of certain surgeries that she had in her life and she has a weak I think kidneys or something weak part of her body if she gets pregnant she will definitely die if she gets pregnant she will definitely die like it's not like it's not like an assumption the doctor said it's I mean of course hasm runs the world problem is she got pregnant she got pregnant and she put her life at risk and baby survived she survived but it was a doctors weren't it was a miracle that she survived most countries their laws are based off of uh things that are against the Torah America's law legal system is against the tah I mean uh democracy is against the Tah you know Jews are not Democratic we we don't believe in democracy uh Democratic mindset you know that everybody has an opinion and we vote for it that's not a Jewish concept right so there's author authoritarian meaning that there is one king and everybody else follows uh in fact it wasn't even supposed to be a physical King when shuel when shmuel came uh and the people were asking shmuel for a king sh rebuked him said why do you want a king Hashem has been your king hasem why do you want go oh you want to be like the go you want to have a physical King and he and he insulted them he and hasem tell him n just let them have their physical King uh but the point is is that technically it was supposed to be just us and AEM but since we made the mistake of asking for somebody uh that's what Torah is uh is based off of we don't believe in democracy we don't believe in a voting system there's nothing like that we also don't believe in letting terrorists sit in jail either if somebody's a terrorist the Torah says death penalty there's no uh there's no like uh send them to jail and send their parents money because uh they killed a bunch of Jews like they do in Israel so that's also a uh a law of the land that's the opposite and generally is today is run by secular Jews uh and some Arabs that are the opposite of Torah many of them hate the Torah many of them are anti- tah uh and for example this past weekend this euro vision that was a uh uh celebrated in uh in Israel you know was a uh one of the biggest mistakes in the country's history and for sure the biggest mistake in bib netanyahu's life because this is something that he most likely will never be able to do chuva for because he simply made it his business to tell 30,000 people to violate Shabbat so now 30,000 people violated chabat and it all goes to his account too meaning even if he does Chua for himself starting now he starts keeping Chua now how is he going to make up for 30,000 people unless he becomes a ky speaker of some kind I don't know he starts giving lectures and different but te for free he tells people I made a mistake had Eurovision oh what maybe if he does that he can fix it otherwise he can't fix it why you have 30,000 people desecrated hm's name in public in public due to his so so and called okay uh so it's a very very uh stupid decision and most likely I would say I would be surprised if he finishes the year I would personally be surprised if he finishes the year uh not just not just uh in government I literally mean physically uh if I mean obviously hasem is much more merciful than I can be but uh it seems like uh his political career is in the garbage because after he did this he made this decision the uh religious party canceled their talks with him and right now he cannot uh even though he won the election he cannot get a government together so if he doesn't come up with a uh with a plan within I believe the next few weeks uh then they'll have to either have a new election or they'll have to just simply pick somebody else amen amen go ahead me too so T says in that someone that comes to become purified they give him a helping hand from sham from Heaven meaning that you're trying to do good and you're trying to follow more laws you're trying to follow more Tor because of that and just because of that you'll get even more assistance from Heaven meaning that if you take on the mitvah of putting on a keep just that is enough of a reason alone forem to help you sinless so it's Works our logic says until I become raenu perfect I'm not gonna wear a keeper because I don't want to mess up in public Hashem says the opposite he says because you publicize your belief in me I'm going to give you special help to to show you the errors before you make them and you'll see it in your own life you'll see that you're about to B sandwich and you remember wait I should check if it's kosher before you were before you had the keep on you weren't you didn't remember you just took a bite and then you wanted to check like some people they send me a picture of the rappers of their food after they eat it after they sent me the pictures go Rabbi uh this rapper doesn't have a kosher symbol is it okay if I eat it and I look at it's empty so empty rapper I said you're supposed to call me before you ate it you know how many times this happens to me at least once or twice a week does that happen with all types of things I actually have somebody sent me a picture believe I have a picture of my phone I have a picture of my phone Walmart has a special had a special in Hanukah during hanuka they had a special kanuka special Ham on sale they had on the department they had a CO they had a ham special kanuka special they call the special kanuka special ham it's unbelievable that the stupidity oh I remember one time I went to a hotel and they said we have a Kala bacon cheese sandwich Hala bacon and cheese sandwich I said why' you pick kala out of all the sandwiches in the world like why the kala with the bacon and cheese I mean doesn't the Satan work is a very funny funny thing kosher style kosher style there you go kosher style next question anything else Ken be any more questions because everything is going to be revealed so how are we going to learn he didn't say that there's not going to be more any more learning he said there's not going to be more questions it's two different things questions of this world I got finish off with this story because I really got to go and have a flight in the morning uh so um there's a um anybody needs me personally I'll talk to you but as far as questions here we go on for the rest of the night was trying to raise money for mik and uh he saw that they're not uh they're not raising the money they're not they're not getting the money people are not not giving the money so he told the rabbi said Rabbi tell the five richest people in the Kila that I'm an old man now I'm probably going to go to shamim soon when I go up to shamim I'm going to fight for them for whoever all the five people I'm going to fight for them to make sure that hm blesses them with with good blessing he's going to give them a lot more money back than what they give for the mik so the rabbi went to these people told themin promised on his name he's going to sh and talk for you so they believe inim in those days they gave the money shortly after died and every very you know the five Rich guys were waiting waiting waiting waiting no money they thought he died a week later we're going to become billion we were millionaires we're going to be billionaires nothing happened a month two months three months four months already now they're starting to get to a point where it's like uncomfortable so they start talking a little bit between them like do you get any money no I didn't get any money do you get any money I didn't get any money said I think he fooled us I think he fooled us he promised something he can't deliver now he's in shamay doing whatever he's doing maybe he wasn't a sadik maybe it was like really a rash in hiding they started talking amongst each other now because makes sure to protect this he came in a dream to the rabbi and he told him Rabbi tell the people I didn't forget about them I didn't forget about them I didn't forget my my promise but there's a problem you see when I made the promise I wasn't here and over there in the real world money is like important money is important to people in the world see now over there it's too disgusting to talk about money here so I'm embarrassed to talk about it it's dis I'm next to the with ab and they're giv from the beginning of the world to the end of the world mashia is over hereu is over hereu all the greatest things in the world here what do you think what do you have something to say oh yeah I have a can you give these few guys a little bit of money it's embarrassing for me so I'm trying to work myself up to finally bring it up but don't worry I'll do it tell them to stop saying it's disgusting why because over here in there's no questions there's no questions there's no nothing we just get all day so that's the answer the answer is there are things of this world the life that you had here the difficulties that you had here the anxiety that you have here the troubles you have here here once the mashia comes those things will be non-existent but there will be new new interesting things much more interesting things then you can even imagine that you simply cannot handle at this stage because you're still part of this world only once this world graduates and matures and gets to the next level are the people that will survive to see that day going to be able to see what's beyond this world what's bigger than this world and so on tomorrow I'll be in New York like I said next time I'm going to see you hopefully is going to be on Wednesday but you can watch you can watch the sh online uh tomorrow at we say what did the rabbi say [Music] n [Music] n [Music] [Applause] [Music]
