The One Thing I Can't Teach You BAMIDBAR | STUMP THE RABBI (270)

We're back here on a Wednesday night. We're after you guys are going to ask some questions and will give us the answers. Tonight's show is going to be for the and all of and all the righteous no eyes that continue to learn with us, continue to support the organization and continue to grow closer to anyone that wants to support can donate on bezem.org or be b a t h a s e m.org og and of course all of you that have not already subscribed to the channel, subscribed to the AI Rabbi app, please do so over the past decade that I've been teaching Torah, we've learned and taught a lot of Torah. Yet, there's actually one thing that I can't teach you. I've said this before in the past and I've said it even to some of my private you know meetings with students that uh the situation warranted it and uh even though we've learned many topics we've learned mousar we've learned we've learned we've learned we've learned midrash we've learned parts of the we've learned about kadusha uh we've learned uh a lot of historical things but yet there There is still one thing that I cannot teach you. In fact, the biggest rabbis in the world that taught much more than I ever can also can't teach you this. In fact, no one can actually teach this to you. It's either you have it because you want it or you don't. starts off with a census of names where make sure that is knows that just like when they were mount Sai and the was in essence on top of Am. He wants to know that their connection to him is is the connection to the Torah. And in this census, Hashem commands Mosheu to have Am count count the people, name the leaders. And some of these leaders taught they had this one thing that I can't teach you. But really only a few of them did. It's not a matter of they couldn't do it. They chose not to. Tonight we're going to learn what this topic is that I can't teach you. We're not going to learn how to do it because for that you're on your own. But this is the shad starts off by telling us different leaders names. For the tribe of Ruven Elit, the son of Shu for Shimon, it was son of Zurish, which the says is another name for Zimri Zim, the one that we will hear more about in Paradak and Paradas. He goes from being a leader of the Shimon tribe to being a disgraced forever. But at least at this moment, he's a leader. For the tribe of Yea, we have we all know the story about where when is got to Yamsuf after Hashem took them out of Egypt. They didn't know what to do. Going back would be going to into the Egyptian arms. Going right or left would mean to go into the horrific danger of the desert that was full of enormous monster like snakes and scorpions much bigger than even in the movies. The only place forward, the only place that was in front of them was the ocean. And is one of the prime examples that the Torah has of somebody that was willing to not only talk about but actually do it. He jumped into the water without knowing how to swim knowing that a kadosh is not going to bring you a miracle. That's a half a miracle. He brought us all the way here. He'll get us out of here also. Even though it doesn't look like there's an exit, but sacrificed his life. That's what nephesh means literally. And for that reason decided that the Messiah will come from his descendants. On the other hand, Zimri Ben Saloo was also a leader. But instead of sacrificing himself in a positive way, he destroyed every good that he ever had. Until this day, he's suffering for it. What is me? What does it mean self-sacrifice? Does it literally mean you have to sacrifice your life? But for what? If you jump in front of a car to save a dog, does that mean that you are a special person? You might as may be crazy. If you decide that you're going to get a job of being the bodyguard of some president or royalty or some businessman that's willing to pay you a lot of money to jump in front of a bullet for him, does that mean that you're a hero? Does that mean that you're righteous? No. So doesn't necessarily mean that a person is willing to die literally for something but rather when the the moment of truth arrives this person is willing to put everything on the line in order to make sure that they do everything to sanctify name. the time of the there's a very well-known story of how there was a man that came to visit the and when he got there the spoke to him and he said to him do you know if you're a kohhen and the man says no I'm Note says, you know, I'm a queen. Yeah. Yeah. Rabbi, you know, everyone knows that is a queen. But do you know why Hashem chose me to be the queen? It's confused. No, I don't. Because your father was a coin. Yes, my father was a but that's not the reason. Do you know that in this week's para when it talks about the sacrifices the Torah tells us that although is can slaughter the sacrifice when it comes to the service in the beta mikdash of the blood the blood offering incense offering only the coin can do it. So that means that if the Msiah comes tomorrow says I'm going to go to the beta mikdash and I'm an old man. So even if you want to help me because you figure I'm an old man. How could I do it? Let me do some and help the do you know that you can't help me because the Torah says that if you choose to help me you die. And the man is still confused and even more confused now than before. And he says, "Uh, yeah, yes, Rabbi. I I I uh I uh I know that. Yes, I know that I'm not allowed to help you in the beta mikdash." Says, "Do you know why I got the merit to serve in the beta mikdash, but you didn't?" Of course, the man doesn't know where to hide himself. He's so confused. Says, "It's because over 3,000 years ago, Am was in a desert. Am was at Mount Si. And the RAV convinced them that Mosher Rabenu died. They thought that he will come at a specific time and they were wrong by six hours and they ended up falling for the trap of the and either worshiping the golden calf or not rebuking the for doing it. Either way, anyone that was involved in any way was punished severely. And says, "How long did they really do all of these sins for?" I mean, we're not talking about something they did for weeks or months. This was a matter of uh couple of hours at most. That's what the midl says. But yet we remember what happened and it's still something that impacts us until this day over 3,300 years later. But do you know there's one tribe THAT DID NOT GET punished and that's the tribe of Levi. That's where I come from. That's because my grandfather when he saw everybody doing the idolatry, he didn't go with them. In fact, when Mosheu came down and he said, "Mah, whoever is for Hashem, come with me. Kill those that are doing this." Even if it's your brother, even if it's your cousin, whoever it is. And the tribe of Levie that they weren't fighters, they weren't warriors. all of a sudden picked up swords and started killing the idolattors. They sacrificed their life for the sake of Hashem's name. That's the reason Hashem chose them to be his servants in the beta mikdash. and all of their descendants will be kanim that are serving in the beta mikdash or the levim. That's why I'm a queen. It's because my grandfather did something at the moment of truth that changed everything. He sacrificed everything. is not like other subjects. You can teach stories in the Torah and people can learn from it. They can learn from it. They can learn you know mus from it. They can learn all types of things from it. You can give a sh of the Talmud or more and there's every subject you could possibly imagine is in the Talmud. Yesterday when we were learning the while you're learning about the different dealings between one person and the other when they're deciding whether to make a partnership on a field, you're also learning how to build stuff, how much you need in order to connect two rocks. to make a wall. You're learning how to build and ma is full of these types of lessons. So when you learn, you learn everything in the process. When you learn used to call it which is when you learn about the stories of the you learn about how Hashem runs this world. But the one subject that you simply cannot teach is messy with nephesh. You can tell stories about those that have sacrificed everything. You can tell people the reward they would get if they did the same thing or the opportunities they would lose if they didn't. But when push comes to shove and the moment of truth arrives for each person, there's nobody by them that's telling them, "Do you remember that sh by rabbi? Do you remember what we read in that book?" That doesn't happen in real life. At that moment of truth, it's either you have it or you don't. If you didn't have it before that day, you're certainly not going to have it on that day. told a story of a religious photographer in Israel who told him the story himself. He says he was he's a religious guy, photographer, but he wasn't exactly the most stringent. It's very hard to do that in that field anyway. But one day he was hired for a job to do in some studio, some news network, and he would get paid 10,000 shekels for half day's work, which is a lot of money there. So he got hired. He gets to the place and he sees that there's a lot of immodesty in the studio and even though he's not the most stringent, even though he's not the most kari, even though sometimes you can barely see his keeper, he decided, "No, too much pituit here, too much imodesty here. I'm not I'm not doing the job." He tells the people that hired him, "I'm leaving." What do you mean you're leaving? Why are you leaving? There's too much immodesty. I can't I can't I can't work like this. Oh, come on. What are you fanatic now? I thought you were normal. I thought you were uh a good guy. Why did you become ultraorththodox already? He's like, laugh whatever you want. I'm not working here. This is not what I signed up for. I'm out of here. giving up on the 10,000 shekels, giving up on much more than that because they're never going to hire him again, and most likely losing a lot of other work after other people hear it. But that didn't matter to him. A few days later, there was a big Torah event where some of were there to represent the leaders of the Torah. And among them was Ravim Kvski. And this photographer was hired to record that event as well. He's a well-known photographer. He's hired for a lot of different jobs. And as he's on the near the big table taking pictures, recording does something he never does. Anyone that knows anything about Rafa Kvski knows that he was very very minimal to say the least when it comes to using words. Even when he would give somebody a blessing, he would just say the acronyms. He wouldn't even say the whole blessing. He would just say the first letter. didn't want to waste a second. Didn't want to waste a word. But here he looks at the photographer, points at him, come here. The photographer confused. He's looking behind him to see maybe there's somebody behind him. There's another rabbi. There's a somebody else, but there's nobody there. Me. What does what does Rav Kanefki want from me? He walks up to the RV says yes. And of says to him, I'm jealous of you. Now he's even more confused. Meod, you're jealous of me for what? Kany says these last words to him, "They don't know, but I know." At that moment, that photographer realized exactly what Raf Kyvki is talking about. And he says, "I learned two things there aside from the fact that Rafkyvki has one that if Raf Khani knows this, then it must have made some major impression in heaven." And secondly, the Rav Kany was telling the truth. He really is jealous of me because he doesn't have those types of tests that us regular people have. He can never do such a mitzvah like that because it's not relevant to him. It's like I I did a mitzvah. I did something. I did a sacrifice that even could not do. that messy with was something that I can do. Now is one of those things where it's not necessarily something that you can just train yourself in your mind that when the push comes to shove, you're going to do it because you never know when it's going to come, when it's going to be needed, or how. Sometimes it's to overcome a situation like the photographer had to. Sometimes it's to overcome anger. Some Sometimes it's to be extremely generous. Sometimes it's to literally put your life on the line. Nephes comes in all shapes and sizes. But the big thing about me that when it's done by a regular person and not a big sadic, it not only has a big impact on them, but rather it has an impact on all of the descendants that will ever come out of that person. It has the ability to change history. When jumped into the ocean, he wasn't chosen to be the leader yet to as what he was later on. We didn't even know his name when he did it. When people make that big sacrifice, the biggest impression is when they do it before they're well known, before the whole world knows that there's some big sadic or big sadika. There was a big sadik years ago named the the Rav from uh Shephanit or Shephan. He was a ish kodesh to such an extent that 80 years after it he died. They decided to take his body from where he was buried in Russia and bring it to Israel to Petikva. Those that took his body and rearied it testified that his body looked like he was simply sleeping even though he was buried for 80 years. So much so that even his beard still had drops of water on them fresh like he was just sleeping for 80 years. Go put a piece of meat on the table for a couple of days. See what happens. see if there's a little water left on it or something else. This Sadik had a story of something that took place with one of the average people in his community. He had a rich person in his community who was a good guy. very generous but was dealing with the very difficult part of life that may never ever be on you or on us or on anybody else from am which is not having children very difficult it's not an easy problem because it's both emotional it's social it's physical it has connections to every part of your life. And if you don't know how to get your head around it, it could even lead a person to become depressed. Although that's not the point. That's not why Hashem sends a person such a test. Many people that don't know how to handle the test lose themselves. But this Sadik who was an average person, his biggest plus was that he was very generous. He wasn't a big Tommy. He didn't write any books and he has been married for 20 years and did not have any kids. one day. He comes to the Ra and he says to the Rav, I need a blessing. Right now, I'm being sued for everything and if I lose, I lose everything. The Ra looks at him and says, "Right now is is the moment of truth where you can choose either to win this case and never have kids or lose this case, lose the money, but you can have a kid. Which one do you want? The man was shocked. Says, "Hold on a second, Rabbi. Let me let me think for a moment." He thinks to himself for about five minutes. He comes back to the rab. He says, "No, I can't do it, Rabbi. I can't lose the money. It's not my money. Please give me a blessing that I win this case." The RV looks at him, goes, "Are you crazy? you've been waiting for a kid for 20 years. He says, "You're right, Rabbi, but it's not right for me to lose because if I lose, all of those widows and orphans that that money feeds will no longer have it." So I thought about it and I rather be childless for the rest of my life and they not miss even one meal. I'd rather die childless than hear that one of them doesn't have something to eat. The RV was impressed and told them you have my blessing. come back to me after the case is over. The man comes back after he not only won the case but they even have to pay him damages and he came to thank the Rav for the blessing. But the Rav says to him, most people get one moment in their life. That's a that's an hour where the heavens are open where even the midatin the prosecutor steps aside and allows the prayers to be accepted. But because you broke your nature for the sake of Hashem's children, Hashem has given you a second chance. What do you want? He says, "Rabbi, I want a child." And the rabbi said, "I'm in." And nine months later, after being married for over 20 years and every doctor under the sun telling him that it's impossible for him and his wife to have children, nine months later they had a healthy, beautiful baby boy. A person that heard the stories of the destruction of the beta mikdash perhaps thinks of the real estate, thinks of the human loss, but very few people realize how they're connected to it. But the sages teach us that after the destruction of the beta mikdash, it's as if there is a wall between us and akadosh because now when we pray to hashem, the prosecutor is allowed to interfere with the prayers and unfortunately make many of them unanswered. There is one way that a person can break this wall and that's when a person breaks their own nature. When they break their own nature, meaning that they overcome whatever their own personal interest is, whatever their own personal nature is, whatever people think is in your interest, and rather they do something that is the opposite of norm, but for the sake of good, for the sake of and his children. Many times that that moment is not a extraordinary event like Yamsuf where you have to just jump into the water. If you're going to jump into the water tomorrow, just make sure you bring a towel. Nothing's going to change. And don't worry, there's plenty of other people to feed the orphans and the widows. For most people comes during a time where they're suffering a lot when they have isim because that's usually when people lose themselves. That's usually when people start feeling like as if Hashem is not with them. That's usually when they're weakest. But the reality is many times Hashem brings that during those times where there is extra suffering more than norm. There's no such thing as a life without suffering. But everyone everyone understands especially if you're old enough that there are times where there's a lot and there's a time that there's even more. And when those times come where there's even more many times that is also coming because before gives a person an opportunity to get the greatest blessing in the world. He also gives him the biggest test. A sea that recently came out about Shalom who died during a time of Corona which is the reason why at his funeral there was barely a minyan. On page 380, it's a story of when he was in his last days, practically on his deathbed and came to visit him and he said, "This is what happened during that time. I came to see he's laying down. He's suffering in agony and pain. And he tells me with the clear mind. I'm not scared to go up and get judged in heaven right now. I live the life of Torah. I have children and grandchildren that are living life of Torah. I have places of Torah, coloss, synagogues, schools. I've merited to learn and teach Torah both orally and written written books. But if Hashem wants me to stay in this world and suffer even more for the sake and benefit of Isel, I'm more than happy to do that. Now you would think was this his moment of truth? No. The moment of truth came decades before that. When he was just 34 years old, he became the RV of Batyam. City of Batyam was known as a place where there was criminals, non-stop fighting, fist fighting, weapons, all types of things. It wasn't exactly where you'd want to walk around just to see the view. Abakidon came there, became the Rav after of course his Rav Rauf helped build him and he became the Rav and he saw that many people in the city did not have simple simple mitzvah muz they didn't have many of the people shaved their face with razors which is like five different sins. It's like eating pork five times. In fact, one of sons of Ysef just in the last few days spoke very very sternly against all of these people that get haircuts that are so short that there's pretty much nothing left in the sideburns. And he says it's like they're eating pork multiple times every time they get a haircut. And you can't just blame the barbers. Don young 34 year old sees the city is full of secular people that don't even have muzot are shaving their face with razors and most are not keeping Shabbat. But he doesn't exactly have a big budget from the country. So what does he do? He takes his own money and he goes and he buys a bunch of meuzot and a bunch of kosher shavers machines which in those days were very very expensive and Shabbat timers. And he sends different people from his office from the bet midash knocking on people's doors. Hi. Hello. I noticed that you don't have a muza here. Would you like a muza for free? Ah, come on. What you guys religious people come to make money on us? He goes, "No, no, no. We don't want any money. It's free. Oh, and we noticed that you actually have one, two, three, five, five rooms here. So five business. Oh, that's how you make money. So the first one's free, but the other four, what are you going to No, no, no. All five are free. Free? Why? It's free. Who's paying for this? The rabbi of the city. Oh, that young man is paying for all this. I never met him before. No, he's doing it for everyone. And by the way, we noticed that um you uh don't have a you're shaving with a razor. Why don't you uh shave with a something that's more modern? Here you have a kosher shaver. Ah, so that's how you guys make money from the shavers. No, no, this is free, too. What do you mean this is free? Yeah, this is free. And by the way, do you keep Shabbat? Go. No, Shabbat. Listen, I uh I know I I want to make coffee. I want So this what you do. Look, we have a Shabbat timer for you. You could do this and you don't have to violate Shabbat anymore. I said that's how you make money for the timers. What is it? $500,000? Goes, "No, no, this is free, too. All of this is free." Yes. And this is what he did. one house after another with his own personal money. And he helped many people do chuva this way. One of the people that did chuva this way was a person by the name of Elahui. Elahu listened to Raakshi Don and sent his two boys to Yeshiva even though his friends and family made fun of him. Ah, what they going to be? how they going to might make money, how are they going to live your kids, why you send them to this religious school. Well, to dare surprise, those two young boys became some of the leaders of Isra and one of the big rabbis in Israel, one of the cities and one of the people that started these are the fruits of their father's efforts that began with me nephesh that had all of history changed because somebody decided to sacrifice everything for the sake of am is the problem today is that most people want an easy life. They don't want to make sacrifices. They want comfort. They want to live on vacation. So they may like to hear these stories, but they don't want to live these stories. But this is also why they're never going to be anyone special. Most people come and go into this world and barely anyone outside of their family ever knew they existed. Why? Because most people live for themselves. But once in a while you see that there's a diamond in the rough. There's one family member somewhere along the line that did something special that this family talks about for generations that other families talk about. What was the difference? They weren't looking for a shortcut. They weren't looking for a vacation. They were looking for an opportunity to take advantage of the gate of heaven that was open for them to show Hashem that they're willing to sacrifice everything for him. When someone came to the Kazunish and told him, "Rabbi, what do you think of the statement that this world is like a dream? says a dream, it's only a dream to somebody that's sleeping. But someone that's awake serving Hashem, it's not a dream. They feel they feel everything. Every moment of their life, they're feeling something. There's no dream. This life is very much real for those that are awake. And that's the truth. The more you see what people's expectations are of their life, the more you realize how the average person is so far away from being willing to sacrifice anything for the sake of am for the sake of strangers. even though he's a Jew and she's a Jew, they may be willing to sacrifice something for their son or daughter, perhaps even their siblings, best friend. BUT IF YOU TELL THEM, WILL YOU sacrifice everything you have for a Jew that lives somewhere that you'll never even heard of and you're never going to meet? Who's willing to do that? Few people. few people. But you know what's so special about those few people? They're the ones that are going to be named in the book. Everyone is good. Everyone that serves Hashem, everyone that's righteous, follows the Tawra, they're all special. They're all good. They're all our brothers and sisters. We tried to help every one of them if we could. But then there's the leaders. The leaders are not necessarily always those people that you see on TV signing big contracts, YouTube channels, fame, fortune, very rich, powerful, connected. No, you know who the real leaders are of Islam? It's the ones that get named in the book. Not in people's books. Not in this books where people name their friends as if they're heroes just because they want to look good. Rather a kadosh's book. In a kadosh's book, we already know who the leaders are for good and for bad. We have Zimri Ben Salu who before he became Zimri he was Schlumiel Benzai he had an opportunity to be a leader that's remembered for good forever but when the moment of truth came to him he failed and he failed miserably we have someone we didn't know just a few parachut ago when he did what he did. It would be surprising if anyone knew he existed. But today there's not a single learned Jew that doesn't know who Benad is. And there's not even a single human being on earth that knows about the God of Israel and his Torah that doesn't know about the results of his actions and how the Msiah is going to come from him. This is the reason why you can't teach. It's either you have it or you don't. It's either you're willing to sacrifice everything and push yourself to the limit even though you think that you pushed yourself to the limit before. And now the past limit seems like it was only practice because this is the real one. But in reality, this one is only practice. By the time you get to the next one and you thought you were finished, but in reality it was only practice because you got to a new one. Neph is not really just a one-time thing. It's a life. There is one that stands out like the stories we told. But don't think for a moment that the entire lives of these people was defined by that one moment. No, they were sacrificing well before these stories. It's just that those sacrifices, those final ones, brought everything they did and summed it up in a single act. And with that single act, all of the blessings you can possibly ever imagine and not imagine came upon them and their descendants when they changed history with what seems like a single action, but it really wasn't one action. It was a life, a life of decisions to sacrifice themselves for the sake of a and his children that he loves. May we all have the merit and the strength to sacrifice everything we can and even the things we don't think we can for Hashem and his children. Because at the end of the day, everybody wants to be in the book. Question is, are we all going to do what's necessary to be included? Only some of us. Hopefully, it's somebody that's watching. This is some of the things we learned and can't teach because when the moment of truth comes to each and every single one of you, I won't be there and neither would anybody else. No book will help you. No sh will help you. You'll be on your own to decide. Even if you get advice from me or anybody else, at the end it'll be your decision and hopefully you make the right one. Now, I want to go to some questions with you guys. I know you guys have some great questions. I also have a question for you guys that um there is uh there is a um some interesting things to talk about. Last week's question was the jokester friend that came to the wedding and pretended like he was so happy for the wedding that he wanted to make a blessing and then of Hanu and then he pulled out a fruit out of his hand that he hasn't eaten in a year and he did theu and the question was whether everyone needs to say amen. Some of you said yes. Some of you said no. Some of you said depend. If you heard it, didn't hear it. Everybody had different interesting answers. And the answer is no. They do not need to say amen. And the reason why is because he acted inappropriately and disrespected the blessing. And while everyone heard his blessing, they all knew that he's not allowed to make that blessing on what he was doing and they weren't prepared to say amen to that. And when he was really subconsciously making a blessing on the fruit, it's as if he forced them into the position. And with that, they're not supposed to say amen. In fact, they're not allowed to say amen. The zad says that there's something called amen a orphan amen. When a person says amen unnecessarily, those amens will come and prosecute against the person. Some people when they say amen, they say amen several times. Those are called orphaned amens. The person will be punished for it. Not allowed to say that for no reason. A man means God is the king and he's reliable. Meaning whatever he says he'll do. Reward and punishment he'll do. So you can't just say this as if you're just saying a uh threeletter word in Hebrew and four-letter word in English. Amen has significant meaning. So don't say it wastefully. But don't miss out an opportunity to say it when you have to. When somebody makes a blessing, there's a prayer and so on. Now the question I'm debating between these two questions to ask you guys whether give you an easy one or a little harder one. Let's see. Yeah. Well, I I think that Yeah. Okay. The guy was doing a business deal. Let's just say he was selling the other guy a bicycle. And the guy will call the guy that's selling the bicycle is Reuben. And the guy that's buying the bicycle, the Shimon. Shimon says, "I want this bicycle. How much you want?" And Ruben says, "I want $500. It's top-of-the-line bike." Shimon says, "You got a deal." "Okay, give me the money and I'll give you the bike." Goes, "No problem." He goes into the house. He writes a check for $500 and he gives it to Reuben. He says, "But you have to deposit it today." You agree? Said, "Sure, why not?" Guess the $500. He goes on his way, happy that he doesn't have the bike anymore. He didn't want it anymore. Happy that he has some money that he could do some stuff with. And Shimon goes his way. On the way to the bank, Ruven gets a call from his wife and she says, "Honey, you got to come home. You got to take care of one of the kids. I have to go to the store." Okay, fine. He comes home, takes care of the kids, and uh before you know it, by the time his wife comes back, the bank is closed, so he doesn't go to the bank. Okay, no big deal. Now, the next day, he says, "You know what? I'll go to the bank now and uh I'll go deposit the check or I'll go and deposit. You just realize I could deposit it today in the year 2026 according to the Gregorian calendar. You could deposit checks on simply taking a picture of it. That's why some of our students and supporters instead of donating with the credit card they prefer to send us checks in the mail and some of them prefer to send me just a picture of the back and the front of the check. Either way works. Anyway, he says, "You know what? I'm going to take a picture of the check and I'll deposit it." He goes to his back to get the check, takes out the check, and what does he see? Ah, this thief Shimon. He used a a pen with special ink that the ink disappears. THE CHECK IS BLANK. RIGHT away he goes to Shimon's house, knocks on the door like he owns the house. HEY, HEY, COME OUT. Shimon comes out in his robe. Hey, what's up, man? How are you? Listen, give me my money. Give me my bike. Something. Cuz what are you talking about? Goes, "No, come on. Stop playing with me." What? You gave me a check. I gave you a bike. But you gave me a check with disappearing ink. He said, "Yeah, but you agreed that you're going TO DEPOSIT IT YESTERDAY. HAD YOU DEPOSITED yesterday like you agreed? You would have been able to deposit it. You could have gone to the bank yesterday. You had plenty of time." No, but I didn't go yesterday. But you said you agreed. I TOLD YOU DEPOSITED YESTERDAY, RIGHT? DIDN'T I SAY THAT? YEAH, but I didn't know why. That's NASA. And you could have asked. I told YOU DEPOSITED YESTERDAY. YOU could have taken a picture of it yesterday, but you didn't. So, I paid you already. You asked for $500 a check. I GAVE YOU $500 CHECK. IT'S NOT MY fault that uh the ink disappeared. And they now want to go to Dean Ta. Ruben says he didn't pay me. Shimon says I paid him. And he even admits that I gave him a check and it was written on it. $500 and he agrees that he said he's going to deposit it that day. So when he didn't deposit IT THAT DAY, HE violated the agreement. Only problem is that you guys are the diane. You guys are the diane. What do you rule? Did he pay him the $500 or he didn't pay him the $500? It's an interesting question. Not necessarily so simple, but let's see what you guys say. >> I'd like to introduce you to your new best friend. We did it. AI Rabbi is here. It's an AI model that is based on kosher Torah sources. 30 different languages that are available to you. So if you want to ask it in Spanish, in Chinese, Portuguese, whatever you want to do, it's available for you. Can you tell me about? So it's timestamped to the shield. You press this green button AI rabbi on your WhatsApp. >> You'll have the ability to ask questions at will. We'll be providing sources and most importantly you'll be able to know the truth and be able to rely on the sources. >> With that now you guys can start asking me some questions and those who will give us the answers. I'm glad you like the question. Okay. Jason says it's simply he didn't pay. Okay. All right. He had the seat in his heart. Okay. Fine. Let's see. Thank you for the compliments. Now the questions, guys. Let's see. If you guys want to discuss things among yourselves, please discuss it somewhere else so I can see the questions because you're getting in the way. I have to go through every comment to find the questions. And if you guys are having a discussion, it's a little annoying. Rabbi, what do you think about the Muslim protests in Brooklyn? What do I think? I don't think about it. Why would I think about it? Why would I waste even a half a second thinking about a bunch of imbeciles that have nothing to do with their life other than scream in the streets about people that they hate for no reason whatsoever? Why why would I spend any time thinking about it? I already have established that these people are have pee brains. I've established that they hate for no reason. have established that they do not even know how to treat each other, needless to say, to treat anybody else. Why would their hate matter to me? Now, if you're asking why is there so much anti-semitism in the world today, that's something that we've asked many times and answered many times. One of Hashem's main tools that he uses to help AmI get a wakeup call and do chuva is by making the nations hate them. Because when the nations ignore amy times ignores Hashem we've seen this time and time again over the years. But when the nations chase and torment am we see that many people in Israel come back to Hashem because they have nowhere else to run. And this is actually what says that when a Jew does not sanctify the Shabbat, Hashem sends the goim to dodah. Abdullah means abdah what we do at the end of Shabbat. But abdah also means separation. So we have more anti-semitism because Hashem wants us to do chuva. What do I call a non-Jewish person? Their name whatever their name is. What else should I call them? Okay. What's the answer to the invisible ink question? Uh, well, that's what you're going to get next week. I want everyone to think about it, talk about it with their family, and next week I answer it. I usually ask a question and answer it the following week. I just I asked a question last week about a uh a blessing of whether whether everyone else should say amen or not, and I answered it this week. And then uh next week, I'll answer this question and also give you guys another question. Isn't giving someone a blank check a bad thing? Of course, it's a bad thing. It's also illegal. But the question is whether it's allowed or not according to the Torah. regarding my question about the line between and I did not get an answer I expected I appreciate what question did you ask I don't remember sorry I don't remember answering that question uh today so it must have been a different time do you consider non-Jews human what else should I consider them arms legs they were created by God uh created all humans, created all creatures. He created the Jews and the non-Jews. What else would the non-Jew be if not a human being? Not really sure. Not really sure why uh you would think that any normal person would think that non-Jews are not human. Now, if you're asking me, do I like all non-Jews? Absolutely not. I also don't like all Jews either. There are some people that are good that are beloved to me and beloved to Hashem and some people that are nasty, both Jews and non-Jews. So say there's no such thing as oneizefits-all. As far as you, I don't even know. You seem like a person that has some interesting questions, but I don't know you enough. But if you continue asking questions and you continue watching the lectures, I'm sure we'll get to know each other. What will the shekele be used for when everything is free in the future? Well, it's not necessarily going to be free. uh the Rambam says that a lot of the basic uh ways of the world will continue even after Msiah comes there's just not going to be so it's not necessarily going to turn into a uh you could just go anywhere and uh take whatever you want that will create mayhem why would anybody uh produce anything if they're not going to benefit out of it in some way or another but again we're not going to know exactly what's going to be when Mashiah comes until it comes Which book would you recommend for learning everyday laws? If you're a safari Jew, then I would recommend Yalut Yusf. Uh if you could afford to buy the whole set, I highly recommend buying the whole set. If you cannot, you could just buy one book uh out of it at a time, finish it, and then get the next one. I would start off uh with um uh laws of which is day-to-day rules, day-to-day things. Uh then after that maybe the laws of Shabbat and then laws of blessings and so on. Uh if you're Ashkanazi, then there are many books uh that you can get on art scroll that teach day-to-day laws. So it all depends. You could also sign up to our WhatsApp group. Uh we have a WhatsApp group. It's called Al daily that uh goes through the laws every day. It sends out a picture with an on it twice a day. Our amazing team uh puts uh puts it together. makes it easier to learn and to remember these laws and you get it every day. You sign up to the WhatsApp group and you get a couple of them a day. We have Bo Hashem close to a thousand people in the group and uh it continues to grow. We're going to have to start other groups. So, if you want to get a couple of easy things to learn and and remember every day, um then uh that's uh that uh you could sign up to the WhatsApp group. Do we still have living prophets like in old days? No. Prophecy stopped at the time of the destruction of the betdash. A little bit before the destruction of the bet mikdash second betmikdash prophecy ceased ended last prophet was Mika. When one beginner starts learning Garra is he just reading the English and the Hebrew Rashi too. And how about the other English inputs at the bottom? The uh first off I would recommend the arch scroll gamarra for people that are learning it for the first time especially when you're older. Uh and uh if you're reading the uh artmar then read everything that's on the page everything that's on the English side which means all of the English on top which is the gimra part which also includes uh rashi and the bottom that is uh commentary that is explanation of the top uh and also some behind the scenes of other things that you can learn from it. So everything that's on the English side, read that. If you're reading it in Hebrew in Arch, then they have everything in Hebrew. If you're reading it in French, then read in French, but read it in your first language. That's the key. If you're a young kid and you're just starting yeshiva right now, then you could obviously learn the language, too. Learn Ara Aramaic. But if you're already you're starting to learn Gumarra uh as an adult, uh don't focus on learning Aramaic. Focus on learning the actual Gumraar. what the actual tomud says. Okay, I'll rephrase. How does one know he's done enough and must now trust and have so it all depends on the person itself. Now there is the normal level ofoot which is to do what is normally expected of a person and anything above and beyond is is already uh excess uh so for example if let's say a person is working he should work regular job and the rest of his time that he has at home learn Tawra spend some time with his family and uh go back to work. Now, you're going to say, "But some for some people, their work doesn't give them enough money." You're right. They're uh sometimes their work doesn't give them enough money, but I would not necessarily recommend for a person to spend all of their time that they're supposed to be studying Torah uh and even being with their family to also work a second job just just because they think that that's going to end up making them the money. So, what the what the sufficient amount of loot is a normal schedule. The Rambam says if you uh sleep 8 hours, you work 8 hours and you learn Torah 8 hours. Of course, today we wish most people learned even one hour of Torah, but there are of course some people that learn much more than that. Uh but either way, a person needs to uh look at things and don't go overboard with your effort. Do whatever is expected, whatever is the norm, not above and beyond. Why have the Jewish people been kicked out of so many countries over time? Uh that's actually one of the questions we answer in our movie Gogum Magog. The movie Go Magog is highly recommended for all people to watch whether you're Jew or Gentile to watch that movie. And uh the reason why is because there is a lot of things that people don't uh realize that are happening in the world right now that have already already been written thousands and thousands of years ago. Now while the anti-semmites like to uh highlight the fact that the Jewish people were kicked out of every single country, they don't realize that this is actually one of the things that God promised us that is going to happen. Why would God want us to get kicked out of every single place? So, as a short version of what I said in the film is that Hashem intentionally makes us get kicked out of other places because when we go to a place, what do what do Jewish people do when they go to to a new city? The first thing they do is make it a Jewish city. Meaning they you know, we start moving into a certain part of town, we want it to be a Jewish part of town. all of our friends, family. But how what makes it Jewish? It has to have a synagogue. It has to have a Jewish school. It has to have a mikvet. It has to have kosher market. It has to have all the basic needs of a Jewish life. So now once we go there and we settle there for a while, of course some people start succeeding. So succeeding in business, succeeding in all types of other things and build more places and more places. But then after we're at a place, whether it be Spain or it be Germany or Poland, Russia, different places that Amisad has been in throughout all of the years, when we're there for a while, we start becoming very very comfortable and unfortunately less religious, less connected to Hashem. the the wealth is not something that makes Israel better. In fact, the itself says that Hashem loves us when we're poor because that's when we're most connected to him. So, it's a sad reality. That's why there's also a verse in the Torah that says, Hashem says to us, once I give you uh everything that you want, don't forget me. Which is sounds strange. Why would we forget God after he gives us everything he wants? because that's the natural evil inclination that we have. So the point is is that once we are coming to a place for the first time and we start building it, we build it and we start building shs and start building you know uh Jewish daycarees and mikv and synagogues and so and yeshivas and so on and coals. But after we become comfortable less people go to those mikv less people go to the yeshiva less people go to the synagogue less people become religious. So what does Hashem do? He makes as hate us, Ishmael hate us, kick us out, which forces us to go to a different city and start all over again. What do we do? Well, we need it to be a Jewish city. So what is a Jewish city? We need a synagogue. We need a mikvet. We need a Jewish market. We need a Jewish daycare, a yeshiva, which inherently makes us more religious again. And that's how Hashem systematically keeps his children protected from being lost forever. How? By kicking us out of everywhere and forcing us to rebuild over and over again. So while the anti-semites think that this is somehow a Hashem hates us type of thing, it's quite the opposite. He loves us so much that he in essence puts us through hell and back to preserve us because he promised us that he will never forsake us. All right. I wanted to ask if I couldn't read the whole parala and I can't catch up can I skip the para that I couldn't read and go to the para of this week and read the other one slowly okay so first you should know that to complete which is reading the para twice and commentary once you actually have not until Shabbat like most people think you actually have until Tuesday morning till about Tuesday morning Tuesday afternoon you're you're still able to fulfill last week's so that's the first thing and fulfill that mitzvah fulfill that and then but if let's say for example Tuesday has come and gone and you still didn't do last week's para then start off already this week's now even if let's say you didn't finish last week's para and it's Sunday you could still do this week's para. You don't have to do last week's para. You can. You should, but you don't have to. You could do this week's para. Why don't Jews believe in Jesus? Because he was a liar that turned himself into an idol. And I have many lectures about this topic that show that the New Testament is a false testament. And uh there's a lot of mistakes in it that are man-made errors that show that uh it's not divine. If you want to learn, then uh then you can you're welcome to. If you want to simply argue for the sake of arguing, you're wasting your time. Rabbi, is there not enough resources for good Jewish souls stuck in drug abuse? What could be done about it in your opinion? Also, any rehab in the US is like useless as is in Israel. It's it's in Israel. Okay. So, as far as resources for people that are addicted to drugs, obviously going to a uh rehab is necessary for many people, for most people, I would even say. Uh but rehab in itself is not going to help a person that's not willing to help themsel. Uh there is a guy here in America that I know that uses Mousar to help people uh overcome uh uh drug addiction. He says it's very very effective. Uh I spoke to a couple of people that worked for him. I think a couple of them were even patients of him before they started working for him and they speak very highly of him. Um but uh as far as in America, that's the only one that I know of. uh it's actually here in Florida and uh in regards to Israel, I'm sure they they exist over there. Ultimately, a person has to decide whether they want to uh live for temporary pleasure or permanent pleasure. If they want temporary pleasure, then it's going to be very very hard for them to convince themselves to abandon drugs that make them feel that temporary pleasure. But if they decide that they want to live for permanent pleasure, which means to go to heaven, then they'll abandon those drugs and uh whether it's a process or it's a uh you know uh stopping cold, obviously everybody in their own way. Uh the key is to know that anyone that is wants to be connected to Hashem has to abandon those types of things because it alters your state of mind. It alters your ability to uh serve Hashem and uh ultimately it'll lead you to make a lot of really really horrible decisions that you'll regret and it's a sin. Rabbi said, "Donald Trump recently told Jews to keep Shabbat this week. What do you think the deeper meaning of that message is spiritually and practically?" Well, I'm not inside Donald Trump's mind uh to tell you what I uh why he did what he did. I can tell you what I think uh led him to it. Number one, his daughter converted to Judaism. His son-in-law is Jewish. Uh they actually themselves have spoken very very highly uh about how much they love Shabbat. So he has been aware and familiar with Shabbat. And uh I believe he said one time that when he uh his daughter first converted, he wasn't so happy with it. But once he saw how it impacted her life in such a positive way, he was very very proud of her and very happy with her. So he has seen uh the personally personally has seen uh the benefits of Shabbat, the benefits of Orthodox Judaism. So that's one thing. Anytime somebody has a personal experience that's positive, that already makes an impression on them. And that's why I always tell people that the best motivator to help your friends, family, you know, and whoever you want to help do chuva is your own personal behavior. If you become a better quality person, a more ethical person, a more uh sincere person, a happier person, a more calm person, a more generous person, in so many words, a better version of yourself after you do chuva, after you start keeping mitzvot, that's going to be the biggest motivator for the people that love you and and and are around you to do the same thing, to also do cha. But if you're a nasty person, but have a keep on, then guess what? You actually make them not want to be religious. So it works both ways. So from that perspective, it seems like Donald Trump has gotten a very very positive uh impression of Shabbat and Judaism. I think that he also has learned the hard way uh that there's a difference between uh Jews that are observant of the Torah and and and connected to Hashem and Jews that are enemies of God, that are also enemies of anything that's true. These lefty liberals that unfortunately cause a lot of problems in the world. and uh make uh uh you know make the glee think that all Jews are bad like the George Soros of the world and the the Hollywood people that uh you know uh one day he's he the another day is she another day is it all those types of crazy people. So either way I think that the impression that Donald Trump has is is positive. Second thing is it seems like Donald Trump is very much aware that there's a God that's in essence not only protecting him but constantly constantly there because he mentions God on a regular basis. I wish that the Jewish leaders and and in in politics and otherwise would mention God as often as Donald Trump does. So it's it's very very impressive that uh he he's aware that God saved him. He's aware that God let him win and so on and so forth. So that's also a very positive thing. Now does that make uh Donald Trump the Messiah? Absolutely not. The Mashiach has to be one of the descendants of King David and has to be Jewish. Uh so it's he's not the Messiah like some crazy people think. But it seems like he is going in a good path uh of doing that. Uh but always have to remember that you know the the hearts of leaders are in the hands of Hashem. Meaning that once somebody becomes a leader, Hashem starts pulling the strings to influence them to do certain things that they're doing, whether it's to go to war or it's to uh uh, you know, to tell people to keep Shabbat, whatever it is. So it's obviously also a message from Hashem to try to influence his nation to do chuva in the most unusual way in the world because for the first time in history a non-Jewish leader actually recommended for for Jewish people to keep Shabbat. I mean this is a unbelievable uh situation very very unprecedented. So obviously Hashem is behind this. Uh and I think that uh Donald Trump did himself a great service as far as spiritually speaking uh by doing that because he uh he's going to get a lot of merits for anybody that keeps Shabbat because of him. Even if it's only once, needless to say, he's going to get a lot of merits. So that alone was was reason enough for Hashem to save his life three times. At least the three times that we know of people trying to assassinate him. So I think it's very good. I think it's a uh hopefully people listen and they actually do keep Shabbat not just once but on a permanent basis. But the point being is that people always have to remember that God is the one that runs the world. No one else does. It's only God that runs the world. And Hashem decides uh who's going to be the leader, who lives, who doesn't, who wins, who loses. And ultimately, if anybody wants to be on the uh on the on the good side of God, they have to listen to what he said and follow it, which is what the Torah says, and they have to abandon anything that's against the Torah. So, this is one of the amazing things that Hashem is doing at the end of days as he's trying to save more and more of his children before the end comes in usual and unusual ways. And people listen Does does the Rob think that uh Jared Kushner's wife is a Jewish? I mean, I wasn't at the bed. She converted, but to my knowledge, she converted an Orthodox Jewish. So, I don't uh I don't have any any any reason to think otherwise. I I mean I think that uh the fact that uh she converted um is I know there's there was a lot of people saying that it wasn't uh um legit, but again it's a lot of there's a lot of I wasn't there to say otherwise. So I don't have any reason to believe that she's not Jewish. And you don't need to send me information to show me one way or the other because I don't really care enough to uh investigate that type of stuff. Somebody wants to be Jewish, there's one way to do it. If they don't do it, then they're lying to themselves. Why is referred to as Pasha of the anxious regarding anxiety and I never heard it. So I would love to know who actually calls it the pa of the anxious. I never heard it. Never heard it. Should one learn If their community has a fully and carrying on Shabbat it's easy there a Jew has to learn the entire Torah not just he has to learn he has to learn Shabbat he has to learn and many many other and then after he finishes the he has to do it again and after he finishes it again maybe start the shami and after he does the shami he has to also complete the rest of the 60 mto that's in the Mishna because the Mishna has more m than the Talmud and of course he has all of the and he has the there's no end to the Torah. So if the answer is if the question is ever should a Jew learn to the answer is always yes. Is Trump technically doing kiru in a Shabbat message? Seems like it. definitely seems like it. I can tell you this that uh his uh favorable talk about Jews and uh and also uh uh this is definitely a big plus on his spiritual account. So he probably got more merits uh in the last few days and will get more merits in the next few days than he got in his entire life. put together. What if a man commits a crime and says that Hashem made me do it? Then you put that man into a mental institution and give them one of those nice jackets and uh a few pills every day. Hopefully he'll get uh healthy one day. I want to start and inspired to start the dafomi. Should I start with the program where they're currently up to or from? Start where they're up to. Just start wherever they are. Start as soon as possible. Don't wait from the Don't wait to go to the beginning. Just get started. Donald Trump's immigration policy is needlessly cruel. We're compelled to engage in fixing it. One of the problems with people that uh speak about politics is that they forget that as a civilian, no matter how much news you read and how many conspiracy theories you watch on YouTube, you're always privy to only part of the information. So, as much as a person would want to conclude things as if they have full knowledge of what's going on behind the scenes, they don't. It's just like, you know, you're uh you know, a customer comes to your store and he sees that uh you're uh you know, you're slow to get to him uh and and and you know, and ask him, can I help you, sir? and he already assumes that you're a bad businessman, that you don't care about your customers and that uh you know all of these other things and he decides to walk out. Little does he know that you just had a surgery on your foot and you can't walk any faster and in fact it hurts you every time you take a step. So he thought he knew all the facts but he didn't. And the same goes with people that talk politics and uh they think that they know what's going on. They think they know what's going on behind the scenes. And I can tell you from personal experience, whether it be business and otherwise, that there is no possible way for anyone on the outside to ever know everything that's on the inside. Impossible. With that being said, even if a person says, "I disagree with the what the president is doing, the president of uh the country you live in, whether it be Israel or or or America or Australia or I don't know, Mars, where Elon Musk wants to build something. Who cares that you disagree?" meaning okay so you disagree that why spend so much energy on it try to live your life and do the best you can not to be hurt by the things by the laws that uh you don't like so if they have drinking laws that you don't like don't drink if they have I don't know uh business laws that you don't like don't go into those businesses now if you're going to say yeah but this is immigration and I got a cousin that's here and he's got family. I'm very very well aware of the whole immigration. Trust me, I deal with it. We've been trying to get uh Robert Fry, my dear RV to come to America for six, seven years, six years. And uh the the stuff that I've had to deal with over the last six years with immigration just for that and I've obviously have a big history with immigration my whole life already. Uh we immigrated here from Israel. But the point is that it's a uh it's it's it's not a pretty picture. It's not an efficient system. It's not a perfect system. But what is who has a perfect system? Nobody has a perfect system. And also you have to understand that many people that do come to this country that create a lot of uh damage, crime, drugs, all those different things, the previous administrations didn't care if terrorists were coming here. They were even helping some of them come here. at least Donald Trump is trying to limit that. So, I don't necessarily uh love the immigration policies when it comes to to to certain things that are inefficient, but I don't necessarily blame it on him. He didn't come into a finished product. He came into a broken product and he's trying to fix it to the best of his abilities with again with limitations that exist and pre-existed before him. Now, as far as the uh them throwing out illegal immigrants and putting them into all types of places that I I heard is is very horrible. Of course, I feel bad for anybody that's being tormented, that's being tortured, that's being kicked out, that's being uh hurt in any way, shape, or form. But at the end of the day, there's a couple of things that everybody needs to know. Number one, Hashem runs the world. Nobody else. Hashem runs the world. Which means anything that's happening to anybody in the world is not because of Donald Trump. It's not because of Putin. It's not because of BB Netanyahu. It's not because of Elon Musk. It's not because of the stock market. It's not because of the weather. It's not because of their luck. It's because Hashem decided this will be. Why? Because he is running the world. Every piece has to go somewhere based on pre you know the actions that they took. They have certain possibilities. It's a perfect system that's beyond the scope of our ability to even think we understand. So, anything that's happening to anybody, that's because Hashem is allowing it to happen. People that are doing evil choose to do evil, but those that get hurt by evil, it's because Hashem is allowing them to get hurt by evil because they themselves have done evil and this is their tikun. So, it's important for people to know that Hashem runs the world. Why? Because once you start thinking that a a human being runs the world, whether it be Donald Trump or anybody else, you're already far far away from the truth. You're in never neverland. So, that's the first thing. The second thing is there has never been any president, anybody, any king that everyone agreed with, that everyone uh loved, that everyone listened to. Even Mosheu, the greatest leader of all time, had endless enemies. Korak tried to kill him. The Tanv tried to kill him. The tried to kill everybody tried. The people almost stoned him. and he was the greatest leader of all. He saved them for no reason, for no benefit. Instead of them thanking him, they called him a uh he's a womanizer and a thief. So you have to understand that it's lonely on top. Why is it lonely on top? Because the people that judge you, the people that criticize you don't actually know you or anything that you're doing. They just have hearsay. They have what they heard. They have what they think they understand. They have pieces of the puzzle, pieces of the story that they think they could put together and thereby conclude as if it's a whole picture. But in reality, IT'S NOT EVEN A HALF A PICTURE. It's not even a half a picture. Just imagine you see two people arguing AND YOU ALREADY THINK THIS GUY'S RIGHT, THAT GUY'S RIGHT. YOU DON'T REALIZE THESE people are either brothers or longtime enemies or they're partners or, you know, in business or they're competitors. YOU HAVE NO IDEA. YOU'RE LOOKING FROM AFAR. SO, when people start talking about politics, it's really foolish because you have no idea what you're talking about. Even the people that are the so-called talking heads on television pretending they know what's going on in the White House or they know what's going on in Israel, they know what's going on in Russia, they know what's going on in wherever they know. They don't even know what's going on in their own backyard. They don't even know what's going on with their own spouses that are cheating on them. They don't know anything. People pretend they know stuff. They don't know anything. So you have to understand one thing you should all know is that God runs the world. That's the only thing that's certain. Number two, that if you're expecting to ever have a leader of any type that you're always going to agree with, you're simply expecting something that's unrealistic. You're expecting something that's not realistic. And in fact, if you were the leader, you would have enemies too. Why? Not everybody agrees with you. And you would have policies that some people will think are evil or or whatever they are. So again, everyone is human. Everyone is flawed. Everyone is going to try to do whatever they think is the best. Usually the ones that are more uh uh successful in actually doing something good are people that are connected to the Torah, that are connected to God because then they have morality behind them. Uh that's you know the divine morality already steers you in the right direction. The previous presidents, the previous leaders in many places have either been atheists or idoltors or just simply perverted people that are an embarrassment to human me to to mankind. But needless to say, if you have somebody that's trying to do good, that's that's that's mentioning God on a regular basis, I think that again, I'm not saying that uh everybody has to start uh uh you know uh voting and and and wearing hats, but do you have anybody that you think will actually do a better job right now? No. He's done he's done more uh than anybody else that's in a positive way. Quite frankly, uh there's a uh I'd be surprised if uh he doesn't get end up counting as the most successful president uh in in recent if not history because he's doing a lot of things that people talk about but never do anything about. So I certainly uh don't agree with everything anybody says, but you have results. You also have results here. And you see he is trying to do to address things to protect his country, to protect his people. And uh he's not only looking at his own people as being the Americans, he's looking at everybody that lives in America, including Jewish people, including non-Jewish people. So that's actually very uh very impressive. I'm very impressed. I don't think that uh I don't think that u you know you've had a president that was as favorable to you know as as he has and I in the past in his first administration I wasn't exactly a big fan. I wasn't a fan of the other guy either as but the point is that uh I think he's gotten better over time. We'll see. We'll see. What happened with Robert Frames uh green card is one of the most bizarre things in the world. Um it's not over, but uh we spent a fortune on lawyers and and legal fees and all types of stuff. The short version of the story is this. Robert Fry is a very very special person. We got a uh approved by America for a special person's green card or special b special person's visa which is like what they give Nobel prize winners and and uh major scientists like when Einstein came to America. Okay. Uh or a bunch of German scientists came to America to help with the atom bomb. Uh, so Reme got one of those and he was literally two steps away from coming here and doing everything we've wanted to do and all the money and all the time and all the effort and over 800 pages of proofs. That's his his file was over 800 pages. That's his application. So it wasn't like a one, two, three process. It wasn't uh it was a lot of effort, a lot of money. was everything. But we got approved which was like you know a celebration but there was one step left to go to the cons uh uh consulate in Israel uh to give the stamp to leave to go but unfortunately run you know we do not have control of uh who we deal with and how we deal with and we also don't know what Hashem uh has planned for us. So, we were surprised when he went to the consulate uh the uh the woman that was behind the uh the the glass was a Arab uh anti-semite apparently. And uh she looked at him, she saw his uh approval, she goes she says to him, "You're not special." Closed the window on him. Next. That's it. That was that was the interview. She just decided this religious Jew, this rabbi cannot be special like scientists and everybody else completely ignoring the law of America, the law of the immigration system, the law of everything. And unfortunately, one of the things we learned is that each uh uh place of immigration, each consulate is like its own little country. So after that disaster, I actually came to Israel and uh we set up another appointment which cost a bunch of money because every time you make an appointment, you have to pay uh a few thousand dollars for each person and so on. So it was a lot of money and a lot of time and a lot of effort. And we got a letter from the lawyer, from this, from that, everything to go to a different consulate, went to Tel Aviv. And I thought I was going to be able to get enter with them. They didn't let me enter. Uh it was at some awful early hour. Anyway, we got there. They tell me I have to wait outside. They go inside and uh short while later, he comes outside. He says, "It happened again." What do you mean happened again? He said, "As soon as I got there, the uh teller behind the thing said, wait, you got uh they they rejected you at the other consulate." Okay, so I'm not even going to look at this file. and close the window on his face, which is actually illegal for them to do that the first time and even more illegal the second time. Now, since we are people that are connected to Hashem, people that love Hashem, people that fear Hashem, people that are trying their best to serve Hashem, we know that everything is from Hashem. But it's still heartbreaking. So it's heartbreaking but you know this is what the will of Hashem was at that time but it doesn't mean we give up. We continue we continue trying we continue doing other things but it's a it was one thing to another. It's been a whole experience for years. You know when when the uh when I suggested this whole thing to to do get that special visa the lawyer said this is like one of them billion shot. When we got approved the lawyer said that it's the only time he's ever seen anything like this happen. So, it was a miracle and a half, but then we had like a negative miracle happen. Either way, we're uh there's going to be a lot of surprises. There's going to be a lot of ups and downs in life, but that's exactly what our sh was about tonight. That the moment of truth of where you really stand is how you act after these difficult tests. How you act after these difficult tests. That's that's really what it comes down to. you have a difficult test, what do you do? So, um this is uh was one of the biggest tests we had and uh if not the biggest test on uh on on a on a certain scale, but nonetheless uh the show must keep going. It must go on. Rabbi, you still in Bokeh? I found you from an older podcast and I have some questions. Uh, no. I don't live in Boca Raton. Um, I live in Florida. I live in Cooper City, but not Boca Raton. How do we make fruit? Is it first? Yeah. I really understand what you're saying. I don't know what you're saying. Sorry. I don't really understand the whole um question. uh if someone went to pay at a mechanic and it turned out the mechanic had idols in the office but the person went in anyway because he didn't know what to do. What should he have done and how to do chudah? It's not his uh the person that went into the store or to the mechanic is not uh making any sin by going into it. It's not a uh he's not it's not his idols. Number one. Number two, the guy is not necessarily worshiping them. uh right there and then uh he may or may not when the when the customer is not there but it's not a place of worship so there's no problem. Uh a great rabbi told my husband that he should wear a ben in addition to regular rashi. Uh which one does he put on first and where do we purchase it? Should all men wear both? Okay. So uh the uh Rabad actually was very very particular to uh get people to also put on there's a very high level of uh but you need to know how to do it. So number one that the Torah obligates us to put on but that is that's the which means you first put on the rash and make a blessing on the rash. You keep those on uh e until the end of prayer uh and then once you finish everything you finish then you put on the without a blessing. You don't make a blessing with the it will be will be a sin without a blessing. You put them on and you say the is paragraphs uh and then you take them off. That's the ideal way of putting. Um the other way of putting on that some people do is that they put the rash on obviously first. It's always first and you make a blessing on the rashim and then after they complete the amida then they take off the rashim and uh they put on the and they do the is and they continue the rest of the prayer with uh until the end with the tam. Again, you never make a blessing on but the uh the two ways of doing it is either u doing it at the end of prayer or uh in the middle says that the and his father said that the ideal way is to actually do it at the end of prayer not in the middle because sometimes people end up losing focus or uh you know missing prayers or you know all types of other things that happen when you're in a hurry. Now, should somebody do it? Absolutely. Every married Jew uh should do it. Uh single men should not put on raenutam. It's only for married men. Uh and uh one other thing that uh it's very highly recommended to do with is to learn to uh for at least a few minutes if not more with your after you pray after you finish praying you have your learn five minutes 10 minutes a half hour as much as you can of with the and then you take them off because it adds a lot of to the person. As far as where you can get them you can get them on our website. Our website bzem.org has rashit for safari and Ashkanazi Jews and also has Rabenu. Uh you can buy it on our website bzashem.org. Uh and u we'd be happy to uh to send it to you. It's a uh uh one thing that uh with within is that you always have to make sure that you buy it from a reliable sof reliable sil that's the most important part of is not what they look like but rather who wrote them. If you don't know who wrote them and you don't know if they're reliable uh then uh it's usually a mistake to buy it. And the reason why is because uh many times people go on like eBay, Amazon or some uh you know local Judeica store and they buy a parrot feline for you know a few hundred dollars thinking that they got a good deal and then they realize a few years later that really what they bought is a toy. They didn't buy a real feline. They bought they bought nothing. They bought something fake. So uh or or they bought feline that's not really uh kosher because it wasn't a kosher Jew that wrote it or uh didn't write it properly. There was one guy actually made a video recently that we published uh that he's been wearing feline for two and a half years that he spent uh money on and uh he had it checked and they checked it on camera. They opened it and were empty. So that's what happens when a person buys feline based on price instead of based on who wrote the feline. A good pair of feline is not cheap. So if you're looking for cheap, it's better off not to buy feline. That's um it's because it's it's simply uh doesn't exist. Good parenine are usually expensive, some more than others. There's levels obviously. Uh but we try to do our best because we get our from Israel uh from that we know. uh and that we know and uh since uh we've been doing it for some time and we try to usually buy a bunch at a time, we are able to get them at a better price uh and give that price back to to people. You know, like for example, if you the same quality rash that we have, if you were to buy it anywhere else, you'd probably pay probably somewhere in the neighborhood of anywhere from 2,600 to $3,200, which is anywhere from $800 to over $1,000 more than what we sell it for. Uh, so it may not seem cheap when you're buying Feline Rashi Feline for a little under $2,000, but I promise you for that type of quality, black on black and uh hand everything 100% handmade and and also all the other extra stuff that it comes with that a lot of people don't realize until they get it. Uh it's a uh it's a it's a bargain to say the least. And the same goes for the rashi and of the also the rabbutam. Uh but again it's a uh each person has to uh be very careful when they buy feline because it's a uh um it's it's something you have for a long time and as a matter of fact for people that think oh there's a lot of money to be made in feline you're wrong the itself specifically says that uh people that uh Hashem decreed that people that deal with uh uh you know writing to muzas and selling will not be rich. Why? Why? Because he says if if they're too successful, they're going to want to increase their price and then people are not going to be able to afford it. So, as much as people think that it's a big money maker, it's not. It's actually uh uh it's it's something anybody that deals with it. I would say that the vast majority of people that deal with it are dealing with it more because of uh wanting to be connected to a mitzvah to to a business of of of kaduca uh and to help people than they are as far as making money. It's uh it's not a it's not exactly a money maker. Even though every Jew needs it, it's not it's still not a exactly big money maker. Uh, okay. Let's see. Uh, what time is it? Okay, another one or two questions and we're done. Oh, okay. Now I see the thing. No, you first say the That's the first That's the blessing you say. What is in English are called felactories. Those are the little black boxes that Jewish people put men Jewish men put on their arm. And one little box that are on the head. Inside those leather boxes are uh are scrolls that have uh paragraphs from the Torah, right? But what about those people that are stuck because of the Shariah law and cannot convert or move sa safely? They should pray to Hashem to uh open up some gate for them to be able to move out of those countries that have the Sharia law. In the meantime, they should obviously pray to Hashem every single day, connect to Hashem, learn as much as they possibly can about what Hashem really said and not what the uh B is said he said. uh and do it in hiding obviously so they don't endanger their life. Uh but also know that if Hashem puts you in that position uh that means that he knows that you could still serve him from your from where you are from where you are. Why can't single men put on? That's because have an extra level of kaduca on them and uh single men are uh let's just say they're not exactly they don't have a kesh they usually waste seed even if it's unintentional whereas that's less common with married men. Uh so that's one of the big reasons of why single men uh don't put on How does one go about having their muza check? They're super glued on the wall, scared it will damage and take it out. Who checks these? Uh, as far as getting a muza checked, well, first of all, it depends where you bought it from. If you bought it from, you know, some internet site like eBay or, uh, or Amazon, uh, and it was cheap, like 20, 30, $40, $50, you don't you shouldn't even bother checking them. Number one, it's going to cost you more to check them than they're worth. And number two, I could already tell you they're pursu. Uh, why? Because it cost more to make a good quality muza than 20, 30, $40, $50. So, don't even bother checking them. But if you paid a lot of money for those muza, I'm not talking about the the uh the uh the case. The case is irrelevant. The case has no holiness. It's just nice or not nice, but it's it's a uh the case is not the important part. I'm talking about the scroll inside. If you bought the scroll from a Torah scholar, from a rabbi that deals with it, uh from someone that's reliable, that's orthodox Jewish, uh then uh you could check it once every seven years. Uh if it's a standard muza, if it's a mahudal muza, you could check it even less often. Uh unless it's in a place where uh heat affects it, uh like outside and so on. But, uh, if you, uh, bought it for cheap, you bought it on the, uh, some random website, you don't even know who's behind it, I personally would recommend that you just simply buy new Muzot because it's, I would say, at least a 95% chance they're pursu. They're not valid muzas. Uh, in fact, there was somebody that made a uh, a few videos about uh, checking muzas. He went to different places in New York and different places from around the country sending them the muzas and they check them with a computer. It's not like just his personal preference. They check everything. I believe it was over 73 or even 83% of the muzas that people sent them were not kosher. People don't understand what kind of tragedy there is in the muza world because people try to buy muzas for cheap and they don't realize they're just buying toilet paper. So if your muza is cheap, don't check it. Throw it out already. Why? because it's not kosher. To produce a kosher muza cost a lot of time. Why? First of all, the parchment cost money. It's not paper. It's not one cent. It's a piece of an animal. That's number one. Number two, you need somebody that's an expert, that knows the alas, knows how to write everything in a row, knows how to make sure the letters are separated, has that if he makes a connection, if there's he makes a mistake that's unfixable, he's not going to still sell you that muza because if it's still connected, even if 99% perfect, but two letters are connected, the whole muza is not valid. So if he doesn't have you got shim, if he doesn't have fear of heaven, then guess what? Your muza is not kosher. So third, if it's not coming from, if it's not parchment, if it if it's if it's cardboard or paper or or some other uh uh thing, it's not kosher. So a lot of people don't realize that to do all of that, to write a muza takes a lot of time. uh to check it takes time and you're not going to be able to ever get it for 50 60 $80. It's just never going to happen. Not especially not today. Uh now when a person realizes that the muzas that are good quality are going to cost you $150, $160, maybe even more, $200, $250, depends how high quality you want. But, uh, good mass is going to cost you a couple hundred today. Probably, uh, you know, uh, I would say closer to $200 than ever before. Uh, we have, for example, uh, two levels of muzas that we, uh, have. The, uh, lowest, uh, level of muza is still high standard, but it's, uh, it's gone up from, I believe it was like 180 and now it's 250. Uh, I think it's 250, something like that. And then the other one is uh $500. It comes with a nicer case also, but that Muza is a very special Muza. And the only reason why we're still selling it for $500 is because we still have from uh you know the uh order that we made. But if we had to order the same Isuza right now, it probably closer cost closer to $1,000. So we're still giving it to people whoever wants to buy it for the same price as it's been. But if I run out of stock or whenever I run out of stock and I have to order it again, it'll probably be closer to $1,000 because the prices have gone up. There's another Muza that I haven't talked to anybody about that uh we have, but that's just uh it's out of people's ballpark because it's not it's not a normal muza. It's and so on. Maybe one day I'll talk about it. But the point is um when you have a good muza, you have protection on your house, protection your children, protection on your wife, protection in your husband, protection on your belongings. You have Hashem's name at every opening in your house. Uh that's supposed to have it. When you don't have it, don't be surprised if problems come. This is not because it's a curse. This is because it's a reality. And even big rabbis that found out that uh you know had problems in their life check their muza many times. They see oh I made a mistake. I bought it from uh either someone that was not as reliable as I thought or something happened to the muza because it's been here for a long time that I didn't even realize happened to it. Two of the letters connected it melted or whatever it is. So a person has to be very very careful with who they buy muzas from. And also uh leave your uh stinginess in uh in the closet when you go buy muzas because it's it's going to cost you money. It's going to cost you and it's not going to be cheap. And that's just the reality. But if you want to ignore everything I just said, by all means, your dumb your your your blood is in your hands. Don't blame me. I just inform people. You guys decide. What is a muza? A muza is that little box that you put on the door. Jewish people put on the door. It has paragraphs from the Torah. In regards to Rajbi, which for those who don't know, it's we learned that he had to go back into the cave because he was too holy. Does that mean that he had to go down in holiness? Uh how does someone like him have to do that? Yes, he uh he had to go down or tame his uh his holiness uh because he was already him and his son got to a point where they couldn't relate to the uh to the normaly of the world that people could have to work to make a living and they can't learn to 24 hours a day. So, Hashem told them to go back into the cave and uh calm down because they still live in this world. Describe how genocidal maniacs look in the mirror. I think you would be much better at it than me. I would have no clue how to answer such a question. But you're an expert. What if you live in a car? You don't put a miss on a car. Are you Israeli? Yes, I was born in Israel. Is it possible for people of Jewish faith and Muslim faith to live piss peacefully with each other? Is it possible? Um, it's possible for, you know, temporarily, not permanently. Temporarily, yeah, there certainly has been peaceful periods of time uh throughout history at different places around the world between the two, but permanent, no, it's not possible because uh because the Quran itself uh teaches that uh the ultimate goal is to destroy the Jewish people. Uh they're the enemy. Uh so it's their their uh their uh their savior their Messiah is going to you know in their religion their is going to fight the Jewish Mashiach. So it's mortal enemies. This is the reason why Iran is uh fighting you know as if it has nothing to lose because they believe that they're in a religious war. They're not in a uh uh territorial war. I have a whole lecture about this topic if you want to watch. Just type in the word Iran or Muslim in my uh YouTube uh and you'll see lectures about it. Can one activate the highest degree of hate possible for a mortal, for the spiritual AMC, and this will be considered beloved by Hashem. Who has that kind of time? What do you mean the highest possible hate? What does that even mean? If they're enemies of God, we hate them. The end. That's it. Not what the high measuring levels of hate. We hate the enemies of Hashem. We love the lovers of Hashem. We try to help the people that are clueless about Hashem, but highest level of hate. Who has that kind of time? We need to learn Tawra. We need to get closer to Hashem. We need to help. There's no there's no time to to uh focus on hate. We have to simply do whatever we can to help people wake up. That's that's the goal. There's no time to hate. It's no time to uh spend energy on hating. Okay? You hate them, fine. The end. Stay away. Stay away. Stay uh it says and one day Hashem will reign his kingship on all the world and one day he will one and his name will be one. Hashem is always one. I tried asking a rabbi. Of course, if you ask him this way, then of course he's not going to answer you because I don't even know what you're asking. And I'm not the A rabbi. I promise. I'm actually me. I don't know what you're saying. I don't know what the question is. You just told me that something is written and that you asked this question. I'm not I'm not sure what the question is. I'm sorry. What is the question? You You said you would answer my questions in the DMs and then you ran away. uh either you were asking uh questions that uh are not uh something that uh is relevant to uh what I do um or I just simply don't have time. It depends. Depends what kind of questions you ask. If you ask simple questions like what people are asking that I can answer during this, you could ask right now. What question do you have? I'll answer. If I have if it's a relevant question, I'll answer. If you're one of these missionaries that's going to start asking me why I don't believe in Christianity and so on, I'm not um I'm not interested. But if you have a different question, go ahead ask. See, would you debate Israel Horowitz? I I I don't I don't understand why would anybody think that I would ever debate someone that's a zero and it's a person that mocks the Torah that has a filthy mouth that is has the IQ of I don't want to insult the monkeys but something a little bit below the monkeys that's an aicol That's a heretic. That's a nasty person. Uh, unprofessional. And last but not least, uninterested in changing. I have a whole lecture of why debates are not what we do. There's no point. If you're going to debate somebody, you either debate them in order to help them change because they're interested in changing or because you yourself are not sure about what you believe and you're maybe you want to change. I am certainly sure about what I believe and what I know and he is completely uninterested in ever changing. He makes fun of the Torah for a living. So, I mean, I I don't call his horrible singing that he does and embarrasses himself in public what he does for a living. I'm assuming that he does for a living as a YouTuber. Uh, either that or his parents feed him. But, um, but the point is is that um there's no point for me to debate such a person. Do you believe that gayom caps in 11 months? No, I don't believe that. In fact, I have a whole film about gayom that shows that anyone that says that gayom ends up after 11 months or 12 months is a heretic. It's a coast. It's against the thought to believe such a thing. Genom can be for any amount of time from short amount of time to infinity to forever. I have all film. You can go watch that film. Go to my uh YouTube page. Type the word genom. G A uh um G E H I N O M and uh you'll see that um there is 176 proofs from the Torah, different parts of the Torah, the oral Torah, the Torah that show that not only is gay real, it's um eternal for certain people, for certain sinners. So, I'm not sure why you accuse me of believing it in 11 months when I am one of the very few people on planet Earth that speaks English that has been fighting against that heresy for many years. Oh, I passed your test. Okay, since you're orban, no more questions from you. What do you think about Oz Pearlman? Does he have spiritual power? I don't think about Oz Pearlman because I don't know who he is. And even if I knew who he is, I wouldn't think about him. How do rabbis stay in shape if there's no time for a gym? If always learning, does God help keep healthy without normal people? Nobody says that you can't work out. You could work out. You could, uh, have a treadmill in your house. You could, uh, do sit-ups, push-ups, uh, or you could do this. See, Ke T, the tumbler from Bez. You get this from BHP. Watch. Watch this, guys. This is This is This is my last rep. Yeah. If you want to work out, work out. Just don't go to a mixed jam. Come on guys, stop it with the nonsense. How did the guy What does every every rabbi have to work out? Every human being works out. Some people do, some people don't. Stop it already. Come on. Ask, you know, questions that are make sense. Some people work out, some people don't. Not all secular people are jacked up with six-packs and uh and guns. And not all rabbis are uh overweight. And not all uh anything is anything. Stop it. Stop it. Stop just throwing everybody in the same basket. Just so you know, by the way, you know, you guys are very some of you are very very young and u not everyone that is heavy, it's because they eat a lot. I know this may be a mystery to some of you, but uh eating is not the primary reason of why people gain weight. Some people gain weight for different reasons. Sometimes it's because it's lacks of lack of uh uh exercise, a lot of eating, but sometimes it's because of health issues. Sometimes it's because they don't sleep enough. Sometimes it's because of certain uh other things that they deal with in their life. The point is it's just because somebody is heavy doesn't necessarily mean that they uh choose that and they're uh they don't care about themselves or anything like that. Secondly, um when a the more a person learns Torah, the the you know the more that they connect to the spiritual than the physical. So many times they abandon their body, meaning it's not that they eat a lot. In fact, it's the opposite. They eat less, but they don't really care so much about their body. their body is uh you know becomes you know just just a piece of meat. They don't really care. They just want to push themselves. If you look at the health records of Raul Yashiv, Rav uh uh Steinman, Raadya Ravkski all you see that their health was horrible. It's not because they uh chose to be unhealthy. It's just simply that they cared more about their soul, their nashama, than they cared about their physical body. Because their nama is what outlives this world whereas the body gets eaten up by worms and maggots. So why should I spend so much time uh exercising and and lifting weights and uh and doing all these things for a temporary uh body? So again, I'm not saying not to exercise. Even the Rambam says you should exercise to a certain point, but don't make it your life because you can't take it with you anyway. Yeah, guys, come on. I'm going to ask one or two more questions. Where in the Quran does it say they were enemies? Well, when they when you call the the Jews a kufill, that's because we're enemies. In the hadith where it says that at the end of days, the Muslim is going to look for the Jew in the rock in the tree and tell him, "Hey, Muslim, Muslim, he's the Jew is hiding behind me. Come here and kill him." Okay, so it says it in many places. The Jew according to the Shariah law has to walk on the other side of the street. Has to pay the uh the tax uh has to because he's a kufair is only allowed to ride a donkey, not even a horse. What where does it where does it not say that the Jew is the enemy? That's that's actually a better question. I used to go to the gym for six hours a day and now not even 15 minutes. Okay. Well, listen, I mean, you can stay in shape. There's not It's definitely good for a person to do some ex some form of exercise if they can. They should. Um but uh I would not recommend for people to spend six hours in a day in the gym like you used to. Um but um you know as far as to do some exercise for an hour a day, I don't know. It's fine. Do I need to believe this all? It's part of the old talk. What's not to believe? H how can someone know when which explanation is being utilized as they go through daily life experiences? How do they identify if it's or instead of Well, the easiest way is whether you're inclined to do something that's the Torah says it was allowed or not allowed. If it's not allowed, then you'll be inclined by the prove to me that it's part of the oral Tua. It was made by rabbis a couple thousand years after. Okay. I bet that you also don't believe in the garamar either and you also don't believe in a lot of other things and the zar is just your excuse for uh for for what you don't believe. No, I've met people like you. That's there's always an agenda. Okay. You don't want Let me ask you something. Why do you feel the need to talk about what you don't believe? The Torah is an endless ocean. The Torah is an endless ocean. You have the the Midasha, the you have a uh uh you have the Tami, Tammy, the Z. Okay, you don't want to go with those. Fine. You have the You have theim, you have theim, you have a uh you have a uh literally millions of books. Millions of books. Have you read all of them, by the way? I doubt it. So why do you people that choose to ignore what said in a favorable way about the z? Why do you harp on it? Okay, you don't want to read the zar. Don't read the z. I doubt you ever read even half of it. But why do you feel the need to keep sharing it with people that oh do you believe it? Do you believe it? Do you believe it? That's why I know that you're an Apicos because if I didn't read the Midrash or I didn't read the Midrash, then I wouldn't go out there to people and say, "Hey, by the way, you know, I didn't read Midash Rabba." You know, by the way, I didn't read Midasha. Hi, how are you? What's your name? Oh, you know, I didn't read Midashba. Or if I saw something in the midash that I didn't like because it hurt my ego. I don't know. I wouldn't go around to people and say, "Hey, by the way, you heard what the Midash said?" Ah, let me tell you. You're never going to BELIEVE IT. IT SAID THAT I'M FAT. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? CAN you believe it? DOESN'T THE MIDASH KNOW THAT I'M NOT I'M JUST big boned. Do you think I would do that? No. I'm just doing it to humor you guys because this foolishness that people have in their mind thinking that they're overly righteous to the point where they're constantly sharing their disagreement with their belief in a think that's where it ends. No, it doesn't end that. It doesn't end there. You're a why? Because first of all, you're going against that says otherwise. that say. Second of all, even if you don't want to believe it, even if you don't like it, keep your mouth to yourself. Keep your mouth shut. Who cares what you think? You don't know anything. You know more than said it's what do you know? Have you read? Do you even know how to write? Do you know how TO WRITE? CAN YOU WRITE ONE? That's more than yes or no. Can you write one? What do you know that you concluded that the uh the um Yashiv uh every GIANT IN THE LAST 500 years said it's good but you you Mr. Internet you Mr. internet surfer, you know more than them. Like I said, you're an ape. You don't believe in the oral Torah. But the way you justify is by simply saying, "No, I don't believe in the Torah. I don't believe in the Torah. I don't believe in I don't believe this. I You know, 10 times better than me, man. Okay. People, people, people, people. You guys don't know what you do to yourselves. Rabbi, is it true that you made a million dollars in an hour? Uh, partially true. I made $1.6 million in an hour. How I had a uh I was in a I had my own brokerage firm. I had high net worth clients. We used to do uh we used to invest people's money as well as my own. and um I also had other business. I had the hedge fund, I had uh um insurance agency, but the biggest part of the business was the brokerage part. And I used to invest people's money and um we had big positions. I would have many, you know, many shares of stuff and I built a pretty big business and that's it. If you want to watch the uh reason why I do this versus still on Wall Street, there's a movie called Hashem Took Back His Millions. That's u a short version of my life story. Hashem took back his millions. All right, I think we're out of some more questions. When am destroyed, his name will be one until why? Until Malik is destroyed is Oh, okay. So, Hashem says that his name is not complete until until I'm alleged is out of this world because the uh is a little bit too coalistic to be honest with you. Um so long as so Hashem has his people that's the Jewish people okay that's the chosen people but made everything this against this so just like he has a throne of glory for himself he gave a thr throne of glory to the Satan. Now Satan has to get his uh uh has to have something physical in this world in order for him to have influence. So, so long as Amalecch exists, there's going to be something that connects the Satan's evil part to this world, which in essence is like a uh an incomp completion of of Hashem's will of of of bringing this world to to to its culmination. So this is why Hashem says that he will wipe out Amalecch because and slaughter the the Satan because the once Amalech is destroyed the Satan is no longer going to have anything physical that uh in this world that will allow him to do that part of the job. And that's why the Satan is disconnected from that. It'll actually become a holy uh angel. Um, and then the culmination of of the world of of of Hashem's will will come to this world. Um, there's much there's much more. Again, it's I I think I've spoken briefly about this in the past, but it's not um it's not exactly the uh ideal talk for u general audience. Especially we don't want to offend Mr. I don't believe dissolve. If you have a question, ask the question. Hashem is everywhere. Yes. Does the name Kanan mean regret? Cananan? No. See, is it really productive to call people not be close. Let's say Rabbi Manis Freedman is incorrect with basic premise of Hashem needs. Is it attacking him productive? We have a mitzvah in the Torah that you only partly believe in but we believe completely in. And is not just a uh is not just a um that uh we uh read about here and there and ignore. means number one, you have an obl a Torah obligation to rebuke someone that's going against the Torah, whether they're driving on Shabbat or they're acting and saying things that are heretical. Number two, there's a mitzvah of protesting against those people that are making the public sin. It's such a big mitzvah that the page 14A says that only decided or decreed to destroy the beta mikdash after there was no more rebuke. There was no more protest. There was people stopped protesting. When Jeremiah the prophet asked Hashem not to destroy the world, not to destroy uh uh the bet mikdash, Hashem said, "If you can find me somebody that is protesting for my honor, somebody that is rebuking other people to help them do chuva one one person I won't uh I won't destroy one other than you." And Jeremiah went from place to place and couldn't find. And on that it's written why have I come and there's nobody here. And uh that's why it also says in art every day uh that the men of truth are men of um faith are gone meaning real faith in hem and note niju nonsense. So when Jeremiah was crying in the streets looking looking for somebody to rebuke looking for somebody that's speaking the truth looking for somebody to protest against the lies and he couldn't find someone. He cried because he knew that this would be the official decree that Hashem has to destroy the beta mikdash or he has to destroy his nation. One of the two and obviously Hashem decided to destroy the bet mikdash instead of the nation. So unlike what people think that rebuke is bad and protest against heretics is bad. In fact himself says that Pinas saved the entire nation because of his protest because of his extreme action against the evil people. He brought mercy to the world. If it wasn't for pin, hem would have destroyed all of Islam. And from there teach that people that protest for the sake of Hashem, people that speak against heretics, people that rebuke people to help them do cha actually bring mercy to the world and give the world a right to exist. So, while you're thinking it's unproductive to protest against heretics, you're not realizing that you only exist in this world and it's not being destroyed like the Noah's flood because of people like me that have lived throughout all of the generations that gave AmI a right and the rest of the world a right to exist. So you might not think it's useful because you're a heretic yourself. So you don't like people calling you a heretic, but other people that actually believe the Torah, uh they uh they appreciate it and they say thank you and they support and they continue watching. Okay. Why was Alan silent after his sons died? If we're supposed to praise Hashem with a blessing wasn't a uh that Hashem wasn't uh he wasn't praising Hashem. He knew that he knew was a was righteous. He knew that was righteous and that there was no uh there was no mistake here in the judgment. So he had nothing negative to say about it. Okay.
