you are welcome to have it and U of course you know we are just before uh puring is beside happy day it's a lot of but as part of it is the Pu also [Music] like we really need before that thank the rabbi that you give this opportunity for us thank you thank you thank you it's a pleasure to be here again we're here a couple of times before uh each time the shim had some good feedback good to see some new faces the uh as the said it's porim is coming up and uh I've been working on an article for the uh last week or so and uh between all the shim and everything else it's not so easy to uh find time to write but you try because when something's important you have to try to do it now anyone that wants to see any of our shim or any of the Articles you write or for example today uh actually published his third uh part of this book uh there's so we uh announced the uh the third one was just published today it's in is will be shipped to the US for anyone that wants to study it it's we have CDs that working on we have uh probably about uh 10 different books we're working on a lot of uh a lot of T is coming out to the question is what's so different even though it's it's it's the question we ask for p we have to also ask the same question for pu we have to ask the same question for Shabbat we have to ask the same question every day what's the difference between today and yesterday am I the same guy that I was yesterday or I different someone asked me the uh other day he said uh listen what do you do if your wife is not a big fan of you going to she wants you to stay home with her hang out with the kids take her to dinner go to the mall maybe you know all types of all types of this world type of stuff what happens I want to go learn he says but she doesn't want me to go learn what do you do I say she's right so allo automatically he's looking at me like I'm aik said no no don't worry not telling him not amik but she's right why is she right because you want to before you went to you you didn't know anything you came back from you're still as nothing changed she's not seeing any to she's not seeing any changes in you all she's saying is you're telling her what to do keep this keep this keep this with no explanation you're still cheap you're still arrogant you're still angry every two seconds your midot your character traits have not changed she's not seeing any results of course she's not going to want you to go away but if you go to the As and you come back yov you work on your midot you work on your character traits all of a sudden you ask her how she's doing because you care not because it's just something to say all of a sudden you buy a present even though it's not an anniversary for the 50th year all all of a sudden you're less angry even though you have all the reasons to be you're changing you're becoming a better human being then she's saying oh is working go to stay there come back next week why there's to there's there's results so each and every single one of us have to ask ourselves what's our to for ourselves our own test not just in our marriage not just in school not just in learning that we do or we don't do every single person knows that if they run a business they look at their results if you want the business to survive you have to look at results once in a while if you want a business not to survive don't look find out when the banks are calling to tell you haven't paid the mortgage in a few months and they're shutting down the business then you'll find out what the results are from them but if you look at the results every few months you do a quarterly review you do an annual review you find out what's going on where do I stand you have a chance of survival why chance of survival because now if there's something wrong if there's a Cancer and it happens to be one of the employees or it happens to be one of the workers or it happens to be one of the partners if you didn't let it go on for too long you can fix it you can remove the bad cancer but if you just let it go for a long time it becomes part of the business that's why many businesses that have bad customer service it's not something that just started last week it's something that's been ignored for years and now to change it you have to fire everyone sometimes when a person reviews himself and Compares what he is versus what Hashem said he's supposed to be he realizes that he has to fire everybody he has to fight fire the yet he has to fight fire the yet he has to fire the rabbi he has to fire the has to fire everyone why he's been learning for 20 years he's still as nothing changed if you're not changing something's wrong so when you ask people do you know the 13 principles of faith when we bring people for example to convert many are fulfilling the prophecy that said at the end of times in seph he told the prophet something extraordinary that if you didn't read it you're missing out if you did read it you probably missed it anyway because it couldn't be more obvious it says behold days are coming meaning he's talking about the Masia where the word of the Lord hasem will be there will be a hunger for the word of Hashem not a hunger for bread or a thirst for water but a hunger to hear the words of hem so theim put different types of commentaries on this what do you mean what kind of hunger people want to hear would they have nothing else to do don't they have a business to run don't they have a building to build don't have the a marriage to take care of that's it that's the whole prophecy we waited all this time just for people to come to Theos is telling us something quite different he's telling us that before the mashia comes there's going to be an unusual division between the righteous and the wicked as the gar says our oral Tora says the msia cannot come and the descendant of David the mashiah cannot come unless it's a generation of righteous or Wicked so say for everyone to be righteous it's not happening why there's always going to be a here and there there's always going to be a woman walking around with a mini skirt there's always going to be somebody that says you should go to Christian ity or some Buddha or something else there's always going to be some rash somewhere there's always going to be somebody sometimes the rash has a keepa and a beard too it's not it doesn't mean just because doesn't have a keepa he's a sadik or he's a rash it's they look they have all shapes and sizes all shapes and sizes so to have a whole generation of saying it's not possible but to have a a generation of everyone's Wicked also not possible why hasem would destroy the world if there's not at least 36 sikim in the world hm will destroy the world so what is the really saying what is this prophecy about the end of time saying theim explain that before the mashia comes every one of us is going to have to make a choice but not a choice of whether you want to go to biget or not to be a MIM for thean it's good not to decide whether you're going to go to the sh on time or half hour late it's good if you come on time not if you even go to the or not not even if you put on in the morning or in the afternoon or if you decide to overcharge the guy even though you know he's not going to notice and he's a millionaire anyway you know a lot of people think it's okay to steal from rich people well Robin hoods they said it on there was a you know cartoon they said oh if you're Robin Hood you're stealing from the rich giving to the poor it's mitzvah for some reason the rich people steal from other rich people so even the even their own story they don't follow but the reality is is that it's not that choice it's not that choice is saying before the mhia comes everyone is gonna have to make a choice of are you going to do 100% chuva and try to become m the r you going try to become your version of the biggest sadik you know or you going to decide I'm going to be Haman either this or this either you're gonna be or you have to choose no more 50% no more I'm going to come sometimes I'm going to come to the sometimes I'm going to keep Shabbat sometimes I'm going be very religious in America but not when I go on vacation a lot of people are religious at home but vacation are not religious or they wear they wear that kosher to cover their hair throughout the whole year except if it's a wedding or if it's a uh you know if it's an event if everyone's going to see me I'm going to wear a wig that's you know six feet long I'm modest at home I have one guy tells me listen I wear all the time I said when I I never see you come to every week I never see see cu no when I'm at home I W all the time I said yet it's very it's very easy to be religious at home the key is to be religious outside too hasm is outside too so says that all of us are going to have to make a choice a very difficult choice and there's going to be an enormous hunger for the truth part of that hunger is going to come from converts people that are going to realize that they've been full of throughout their whole life they've been told all types of Lies whether it's some idiot that died 2,000 years ago and he's mhi or he's God or some other creation that they have or some fat guy from China for some reason he's a God too or the cow in India that anytime she crosses the street everybody bows to her all types of things that people create there's over 80,000 different types of sects and religions in the world when you say every morning bless the he didn't make me a go what's the supposed to be Shalom his whole life was Torah morning afternoon night middle of the night only Torah one day he goes to one of he says who won the election there was an election in this country in America right who won the election who won the election Tom de you know they follow a little bit of news here and there they said oh so and so won the election oh okay good and he went did prayer finished sh after sh the came to first time student for 20 years never heard of the the rav ever interested in anything related to this world all of a sudden he cares about who's the president why do you care about who's the president so he goes teach us yeah everything you do you have to learn from not just from the the books they write but also from there actions for the why before you even started praying you asked to won the election since when does the actually care about who wins the election goes no it was very important to me why I was gonna do I was gonna do the and I have to pray that he didn't make me a go I have to have who am I have on the president of United States da him I don't thank God he didn't make me him meaning the best one of them the best one the president is the best one whoever the president is he's the he's the elite even though he has a lot of haters even though he has people that want to assassinate him even though all these different things in reality in the view of the normal people They view the president he is the most successful guy in the world he says so da him I bless for not making me that's the difference between someone who understands the value of being a Jew and someone who doesn't someone who doesn't who does he think of about when he says thank you God that you didn't make me a go who does he think about he thinks about some homeless guy that's on crack you know that's collecting dollars for 30 years already and happens to be not Jewish he's thinking oh thank God you didn't make me the crack guy thank God you didn't make me the prostitute take my you didn't make me the guy that's uh in jail now you don't have to thank God for that that's not what's that that's the blessing you think that K actually it's still a blessing sh go for that even if it was Jewish you would say thank you didn't make me that it has nothing to do with him being non-jewish means even the best of them is still not as good as the as the as the least of us but how how could it be what is the Torah so racist are we such a racist Nation I mean we suffered racism since the beginning of time no it's not racism is that when someone understands what it means to be a Jew it means that he knows the responsibility that comes with it and if he fulfills that responsibility like Shalom did he understands okay I have a responsibility I'm fulfilling it that means that in the eyes of hem I'm a prince in the eyes of hem I'm considered his lover if I'm not then we learn in we learned a couple of weeks ago what does he called the people don't keep mitv son what my haters says you keep you you love me you don't keep you hate me so at the end of days every single person is going to have to decide do I want to be his lover do I want to be his hater now why do the say you have to make a choice why can't it be like most of us that are 50% there we keep Shabbat but during the rest of the week sometimes yes sometimes no why does it have to be extreme why are you so why are you so because the amount of tests that are going to happen before the mhia comes are going to become so extraordinary and so difficult that unless you're glued to hem you're not going to make it the rambam says that before the mashiach comes the Miracles that we saw in Egypt are going to be repeated but this time they're going to be magnified in Egypt we had three days of darkness three days of darkness Mak where hasem killed all of the firstborns of the Egyptians and over 80% of over 80% of were killed during Mak it wasn't just Egyptians why why did he kill am is because they didn't want to do Chua he says you don't want to do Chua you don't want to go to mount sa I don't need you no problem you don't want to fulfill the Torah you have no purpose the rambam says that over those three days he did it during Darkness so not to show the go that we're getting punished too so they don't think that it's a uh it's an even playing field but nonetheless the rambam says that before come is going to be 15 days of darkness 15 days not three days 15 days and if you look at the prophecies by Zar by Ezekiel of what are the things that are going to happen at the end of days it's very scary one of the things that the gar tells us at the end of at the end of page 49 is that there's going to be unusual things unusual tests inflation is going to be extraordinary very similar to what's happening in Venezuela where just a few years ago there were one of the richest countries in the world today people are selling their hair in order to get food they're selling their hair to get $10 that they could eat for the day a few years ago they were Rich today people don't have food to eat 30,000 people break through the borders to go to the neighboring countries just for survival not because it's a better economy just to survive inflation like this according to kazal is going to happen everywhere the face of the generation will be like the face of dogs what is it mean we're going to turn into dogs no it means we're going to have the same OT like dogs a dog doesn't care about where he does his thing doesn't care about he doesn't look around where he's going to the bathroom doesn't care where where he mates no bu unfortunately at the end of days before mashia comes people are going to be like that too people feel like comfortable to do whatever they want to do in the middle of the street today the leaders will do things that are against their own Nation people that we put in power you elect them you put them in power and they're going to make decisions that are the opposite two very simple examples you look at for example the government of Israel God blessed them but they have 30% of the government members are terrorists verify terrorists not like it's a a uh conspiracy the they support terrorism Arab terrorists but they're part of the government if somebody told you listen uh osam Bin Laden is going to run for uh mayor of uh Arkansas saw are you going to vote for him you're going say yeah we're going to vote for him to get the death penalty again if he didn't die the first time nobody would even think to put a terrorist or someone that supports terrorism in government but Ines the secular government is doing it here in America there's been already eight shootings eight shootings in schools since the beginning of the secular year meaning in less than two months people think shooting happened a few days ago oh wow shalom it's the first no no it's not the first one guys something happened two weeks ago too and something happened three weeks ago too eight shootings meaning we're doing at a pace right now to have more than once per week meaning that someone sends their their kids to school 5050 they're not going to make it forget if they're gonna be they're going to be in algebra ex you know they're G to get good grades 50/50 they may not make it this is where we're at solve them the problem you have 450,000 unemployed veterans people that know how to use guns put each one of them in a school that makes four and a half soldiers per school you don't want to give money to all of them put one per School You by just simply doing that you removed 50,000 almost 50,000 homeless soldiers so you've removed homeless people from the streets and you've provided more taxes to the government and also you're providing more living for people but but they're never going to do it why this all has nothing to do with people this all has nothing to do with governments and anyone that tries to think no if I vote for this guy it's going to change if I pay this much taxes it's going to change if we stop selling weapons it's going to change if we're going to do all these different things it's going to change nothing's going to change in fact it's just going to get worse why this is all y AEM this all starts and ends with Y AEM the hand of Hashem the hand of God Hashem is moving the pieces we have to decide what role we're going to play doesn't matter who's in government we already have three different proofs in our Torah as soon as somebody goes into government AEM takes away their free choice whether it's or it's or it's it's three different proofs of leaders that went into government and Hashem said okay you don't have free choice anymore why you're my little puppet I'm going to decide whether to use you to help build a better mikdash or destroy it how does this connect to puim and then how does this connect to you guys came for how does it connect the article that I've been trying to write has been really about what's really the root of the cause of of of the whole disaster or a near disaster that happened in Pim now you can say anti-Semitism but that was already created inat over a thousand years before the story of puim so da it went crazy then anti-Semitism has always been around M didn't like uh ham Haman didn't like M A lot of people don't like each other doesn't make it necessarily World War I what's the root cause of everything and why is the root cause so critical so important that we are obligated to stop learning T according to the m and go read the migil now someone who doesn't know what this means let me just emphasize told the Prophet Jeremiah meaning if not for someone learning T somewhere in the world 24 hours a day someone has to be learning somewhere the rules of the world will cease to exist what rules of the world gravity oxygen hydrogen atmosphere everything not what happened to Noah what happened to Noah still was technically within nature hasem says if there's not somebody out there in the world learning T the world will just simply cease to exist there's no purpose for the world so to say that someone is learning T it's a big deal to have aah to tell all of stop learning T that means it's something important stop learning toah what do you mean you're putting the whole world at risk right now this is a mitvah that puts the entire planet at risk you're saying you have to learn to but now you're saying stop learn to go hear the meila how could it be the lessons that we are obligated to learn in the is not just about custumes it's not just about giving some money to poor people it's not just about eating is a a meal bigger than Shabbat it's not just about getting drunk it's not just about the story about a couple of guys that got into a fight they disagreed it's not about the story but rather it's about what we what's relevant to us Haman died he's not here anymore but he's reborn every generation another version of him was Hitler 7 years ago and as many other versions of him that are coming that's just a reality they're all going to try and it's only Yash that's going to decide whether it's going to go into full power or not there's a ham in every generation just like there's a mashah in every generation but the question is why do I have to hear the story a thousand times already I heard it last year the year before the year before the year before the year before ask for the how many times you make you still to learn it to teach it to read it how many times you're going to learn the same thing the story doesn't change the same story saves the day again again again cookies costumes again more customs more cookies we keep adding weight and we still don't know anything what's the purpose of the story I keep growing this way but not this way what's happening why why do I need to know the story again how many times can you hear the same story it's not changing but he died him and his 10 sons all died got hung up on a 50 foot tree is a m says that the actual tree 50 foot tree they didn't have in shushan where they get it from Noah Noah they found it in Mount arat they took one of the trees over there they made the tree for to hang a man and his sons nice M but still does it change the story no it doesn't change the story it's nice time it's nice taste for the story but still the same story next year you're going to remember what I just said you're going to say oh you know what tree they use okay great it's going to change anything the page 139b says that when hasem says I will hide my face the sages are using inar as a source of how hasem is hiding his face at the time of Es at the time of the for and Rashi comments there Rashi comments there he says the hand of hem was there the whole time all these coincidences were there the whole time it's not a coincidence yetem he's just hiding his face it's not open Miracles like we had in Egypt Hashem made a you know a uh a pillar of fire a pillar of smoke open the sky open the seventh Heavens show there's nobody else here but me you don't have to worry about Idols you don't have to worry about any other God it's just me here alone showed them the words in the sky all types of amazing things in puim nothing like that they all seem like coincidences but just like there was coincidences that actually were controlled by Hashem and Rashi says that hashem's message you only know at the end of the story the message to us the message to us the reason why we have to learn the story every every year the reason why we have to stop learning toah put the whole world at risk to go learn this story is because the message is what's going to save us at the times of mhia what's the message tell us a big secret of what happens when a leaves the body and goes to Sham says it goes to Sham to the bed of sham and they start asking him questions what's the first question they ask what do they ask did you conduct your business with emuna what does it mean did you conduct your business with emuna did you believe that customers are going to come in you can believe from here to the next week if customers are not coming in you're shutting down the store and you start a new business what does it mean you conduct your business with emuna conduct business with Thea means did you conduct your money affairs with AEM in mind when the customer came in and you had an opportunity to overcharge them did you do it Go Jew doesn't make a difference people try to rationalize that it's okay to cheat the non-jews Shalom don't cheat the Jews je only the non-jews it's okay and they'll start telling you that they made up in their head of how they're allowed to cheat non-jews by the way it's a biggest sin to cheat non Jew just in case you don't know it's a bigger sin to cheat a non-jew than a Jew the reason why a Jew obviously is stealing from him from a non-jew it's is one of the three worst possible sins in the entire Tores know who doesn't know eventually he does when you get to shamim when they get to sh they're going to ask you how come you cheated Steven the Indian guy that changed his name from Mustafa how come oh I don't know okay let's bring Steven and they're going to bring Steven and Steven say how come you cheated me how come you cheated me sometimes it's over there we realize sometimes it's over here we realize people think that they could do what they want and get away with it as long as they get away with it it's mitvah or perhaps it's not a but the reality is is the same Sages tell us no one could ever G could ever enter ganeden with blood on their hands what does it mean blood on their hands why they kept Shabbat they kept kosher they put on they came to what's the problem you're stealing your business that's blood on your hands cannot enter ganeden says do not enter now what happens to such a person like says they have to come back in ghou and pay back the money there's a story from the bmov bmov Hades we talk about Wes he actually had it B wanted to buy a horse one time and he came to one of his students and he said I want to buy a horse I have 500 of them pick whatever one you want and he points at one of the hores he goes oh that one that one the the black one over there the guy starts crying no no no any horse just not that one I'll get other horses if you don't like the other 499 any horse just not that horse please I want to give you my Rabbi I love you I G to do everything I can but please not that horse not like today where like the Rabbi says can you do me a favor come to on time hey stop mouthing off to me no no over there in those days 400 years ago says I want hor they start crying they can't give it to him so the the B says to him no no no I want that horse I want that horse he says if that's what you want uh that's what you want what can I do because you sure you're going to sell it to me he says for you no problem take the horse I just want to let you know this horse is the best horse I have all the other horses I have to give them a bunch of food and convince them and convince them to do work this horse wakes me up in the morning this horse wakes me up in the morning just to go do work it's the best horse but for you I'll give you the horse no problem he said sold sold no problem he goes let me ask you a question the B asks the student let me ask you something did you have a friend or somebody that you know that died recently that maybe owed you some money oh yeah yeah my neighbor he lives 30 minutes away nice guy Miss skin he got hit by something this guy guy died he goes he owed you some money go yeah just put out 150 bucks for the nothing nothing he didn't owe me much $150 not his fault he guy died missan wait it's his fault he died he didn't plan on dying he goes but are you upset that he owed you the money goes no SC the guy died I went to his funeral and everything I was not upset goes no but in your heart do you forgive him that he died without paying you back the money goes of course I forgive what kind of question of course he's my friend my friend 20 years friends 150 bucks between us nothing he goes so say it say I forgive him I forgive him I forgive him he says okay he says three times the horse drops dead the horse drops dead the guy gets scared says what just happened he says that was your friend I knew that your friend's n was inside that horse he had to come back in a Gil because he died without paying you back the $150 he didn't take it on purpose like a thief he died but he still owed the money in the the depth of the judgment is much more than you can imagine he showed up to ganed they said sorry sir do not enter why you owe $150 you have to come back and pay back your friend how am I going to pay him back if I come back as a baby until I grow up he's already going to die no no go work for him I'm going to work for him go be a horse and he had to come back as a horse to work for you until he paid you back the $150 or you forgave him whichever comes first someone who doesn't want to believe these stories it's their problem that's a different sh the reality is that in shim the first question is about money first question is about money it's not about did you go to B it's not about did you wear a talit with the with the way of theim that have the black stripes or theim that's completely white did you uh say a certain accent this way a certain in that way did you go to Nets did you go to 8:00 Manan they don't ask you those questions right away what do they ask you they ask you did you conduct your business withun why did you conduct business with because in theet it's very easy to look like aad especially in the morning everyone has and on B benu everybody's next to each other everyone looks like a sadik so no one knows this guy's a thief this guy's a rapist this guy's a this one no one knows anything everybody looks like sikim looks like Mount Si looks like Mount everybody no one knows that the other guy that's praying what is he praying he's praying for his partner to die so he can take all the money but no one knows so in Shay they said we're not going to ask you if you want went to B it why it's all a show it's all a show but when it can't when is it not a show when it comes to your money why it's no show what you do with your money is what you do with the rest of your if you're honest with your money you're honest with the rest of your n if you're dishonest with money you're dishonest with the rest of your if you're making excuses to cheat and lie and and be cheap and stingy and all those other bad character traits with money the rest will apply to everything else in your life there's no show all of those people that look like the like this uh guy that made a big 10 years ago this Burning made off oh why he gave so muchaka Whata he was stealing from this guy to givea to that guy better off don't give Saka according to our T it's not Saka why he stole the money you can't you can't make you can't make aah to a way of a sin huh right you cannot make a sin in order to make a Mitzvah you have to take off the costume it's not puim every day when it comes to your business pu does not apply you're as real as it gets now most people especially in America make a decent living the average income in America is over $50,000 meaning that somebody that's making average is still better off than some rich people from previous generations if someone if you tell somebody oh you're making 50,000 it's good income 50,000 How am I'm going to survive just Yesa is 25,000 how I'm going to do 50,000 I have to make a lot more it's like tell me you make average is like a curse on him okay so what would you make you have to make 150 250 300 how much you have to make and the income in different neighbors has to keep going higher and some people make more some people make average some people make much more than average some people are the uh rich people they make seven figures but just for you so you know statistically if you make over $32,000 you're making more than 99.9% of the world meaning there's 8 billion people in the world you're making more than 99% of them just with 300,000 which means that if you're making more obviously it's even more billionaires and things of that nature it doesn't necessarily that's not the 1% the 1% is anyone that has what's considered high income which is 300,000 or more but needless to say most people will always tell you that they're not making enough most people tell you they're not making enough you ask the guy how much do you make oh I make I don't know only only 10,000 a month only 20,000 a month only 120,000 only only 250,000 only 300,00 only only only a Million last year was a tough year only 5 million the year before there was much better was seven give me a guy comes to again Shalom he gives him a check in the morning he says to support your organization here you go I believe in what you do please give me give me give me something give me a blessing so again knew this guy's worth $100 million he says listen ask me for one blessing the most important thing that you want anything you want and I'll pray all year for it one thing the guy's worth a100 million so what are you gonna think yeah for my kids to get married for my wife to be nice to me for H for me to become a I don't know to live till a million I don't know something what please for to give me this year for please for to give like he's homeless for to give me that's it that's all I want everything else I have everything I have I need just that's all I need that's all I need h100 million he has in the bank why is not just some book that a bunch of people wrote because they have some intellect is M fromes it comes from it's from Mount it's not just some things thear says there's no such person that will ever have enough why you give him a 100 he wants 200 you give him 200 he wants 400 you 400 he wants 800 and says no person ever died with even half of what he wanted because he always wanted more this we already saw so far is a problem how is it connected to pu that's how porim started before the disaster thear tells us that a was actually even more anti-semitic than ham he hated just as much if not more but he didn't he wasn't as passionate about it but he wanted to make sure that he kills us from the inside not from the outside not like Haman Haman wanted to kill everything was very similar to the Greeks who wanted to kill off our religion so what did he do he had a party celebrating that they did not build the BET mikdash according to his calculation the BET mikdash was supposed to be built according to the prophecy from the book of Isaiah the prophet Isaiah said it was going to be 7 year difference between the first bet mikdash and the second bet mikdash and he calculated the seven years pasted and it wasn't built that means that that gave up on Isom so he said let's celebrate how we're goingon to celebrate I'm going to invite all the Jews I'm going to invite all the Jews to the White House and I'm going to have them celebrate with me while I wear what I wear I wear Jewish clothing I wear the clothing of the co and I bring all the tools from the bet mikdash that they are going to say no don't worry about it he's the king he's allowed they're going to start making what am I going to do I'm going to make them feel good about themselves yeah we want kosher wine we'll make you kosher wine you want Kosh of Chinese food I'll give you Kosh of Chinese food whatever you want I'll give you just start changing the Torah make it like a Goya version of Tor make it like the New Testament type of Torah you know people say no it's same thing Noom same thing but unfortunately reality is that we went we went to the party we went to the party we drank the wine we didn't listen to the kiru rabbi named screaming at the gate don't go don't go I know it's the white house but we don't belong there we're Jews we don't belong in the White House We Don't Belong writing stories for politics we don't belong there we just got to survive learn our Tora and wait for wait for mashia that's all we are here for we're not here to be politicians we're not here to be journalists we're not here to be anything we're here to just make our kids Jewish be Jewish that's all we here for no one wanted to listen why they wanted to cancel out the blessing we say in the morning we wanted to be a why the is in charge he's in leadership let's be like him look he's even celebrating our holidays now look he has the co gad's uniform looks nice on him no he has kosher wine wow he cares about it gave us kosher wine look he has Kosher Chinese food has kosher this food bharian food ashkanazi food this food filter fish all types of food look we're at the White House what's the problem why you such a m why you such a m we went Hashem says you went strike one but in hashem's eyes it's not baseball there's no three strikes it's one one small act changes everything one small Act was the difference between m entering is or not the r says that if if mosu would have entered is he would have been the mashia they would have built the BET mikdash and there would have been 4,000 years of Y mashia no sins no noash nothing everything good already GED in this world until we go to the next world but he made him a small tiny mistake that to us is not even a mistake what did he do he hit the saah he hit the stone said oh listen bring some water out first time Hashem asked him to do it he told him hit the saah so he hit it second time he didn't tell him to hit it so M figured I did it in the past the work last time I'll do it again it's going to work this time big deal what's the problem hasem says it's a big sin it's a big act it's a big deal why just a little bit of less k a little bit of less just one tiny small act tiny small act changed everything what everything if you wouldn't have hit it you would have went todash everything is good one small mistake we have to go to Gom in this world for the last few thousand years a few people go have some kosher wine they go to the White House they go to they hang out with the guys big deal why want to do it he wanted to show off his money but what do we say whoever has money and loves money never has enough money so hasem made the next hand play what the next hand play someone else had more money than him only one other person in the world had more money than him his name was ham ham had more money than a as a matter of fact the mid tells us that aside from korak no one had as much money in the history of mankind like ham ham comes to and he says listen there's a bunch of people they're strange they're not like us they act like us but they're really not like us let me kill them and just in case so you don't even think about it let me give you a little small down payment how much 10,000 K what's 10,000 it sounds like $10,000 the guy has a100 million in the bank what do he care about $10,000 did the he did the math how much did ham give him as a down payment in today's worth if you figure out the cost of silver being today $16.60 an ounce exactly $334 million down payment let me kill the Jews $334 million let me kill the Jews what do you think he's going to say no he hates the Jews already and he loves money why did this happened Jews went for a couple of drinks it could have always happened could have happened before it could have happened after it could have happened a million other times it never happened until the Jews decided they want to be like the go you want to be the go you don't want to sanctify yourself if you don't want to sanctify yourself I'll send the as a weapon to separate you to remind you that you're not like them and what will I use I will use the same thing that you thought you thought was good so the story of pu him technically only happened only happened because of the lust for money loved it ham had it and we made enough mistakes to deserve it now most people when you tell them what do you want said listen I want to have but you already make enough money so how come you want more the reason why which is the main purpose of what we said we're going to talk about is because most people may make a lot of money they may make 100 or 200 or 300 or whatever money that they make but they don't have they don't have blessing in the money whatever they make it's irrelevant for whatever reason or another the money itself doesn't survive they can make a hundred or they can make a million the money doesn't survive there's always it's always going some where they don't want to go to they made 10,000 last month all of it went to medical bills they went 20,000 it went to medical bills and taxes they made 30,000 it went to medical bills taxes and some other uh problems in the house no matter how much money they make it's always going somewhere there's never anything left they're always fighting to close out the month they always have to borrow money for another few days they always have to take an extra loan an extra line of credit they uh you know take the a little bit of an advance from a customer a little bit advaned from a boss they're always chasing their own wheels they're always chasing their own Tails constantly It's never enough well you made more money though you look at the numbers you look at the actual company last year you made 100,000 this year you made 500,000 next year you're going to make a million what's the problem how come you're struggling more now when you're making a million than when you did when you just F to started working uh delivering newspapers what's the problem now this there's a few things that I know Tor I'm trying but there's a few things for sure I know how do I know what are two things that I know one I know a little bit about suffering anyone that doesn't know the CD the black one first track tells my personal story once you hear that lecture you'll understand what suffering really is so I have a little bit of experience with suffering the other thing that I know a little bit about is not having blessing in the money I don't know what everybody makes I don't know what everybody doesn't make it doesn't really make a difference but I know that 99% of people do not have a blessing in their money the same thing like I did it didn't matter whether I was making 5,000 a month or 500,000 a month or one month in May of 2006 1.6 million for the month somehow it was all gone anyway it didn't matter how how much we were making 100,000 a month 200,000 a month 500,000 a month a million a month didn't make a difference somehow was always gone now at the time I just thought yeah we're growing we're busy we're investing where this all types of rational excuses no yeah the money I don't have it in the bank anymore but it's invested in the stock or in the bond or in the this or in the that or all TPS different types of explanations of why I don't have it you made it but it's gone you made the money but it's gone you're always struggling to finish the money you just made 200,000 last month how come you don't have any money how come you're constantly struggling how come you have to make money this month to survive how does some businesses you see them there's some companies out there they make literally hundreds of millions of dollars hundreds of millions of dollars they have problems for six months bankruptcy how how do you make so much money in six months of difficulty bankruptcy what happened where did the money go yetem takes control of everything the hand of hasem takes control of everything and if he wants you to have the money it doesn't matter how much money you make in page 16a and then also page 16b it says that that the of a person is decided on until what does it mean is decided so one time there was a uh guy that was selling water passed by the bmov and bmov asked him how are you doing everything is good I have a job doing this for 20 years already everything's okay the next day he sees the same guy nothing changed it's still hot outside like a desert the water is still as heavy as it was yesterday he's only he did it yesterday for 20 years today it's 20 years in one day nothing really changed ask him how you doing with his job 20 years I'm carrying this water and it's so hot and it's so heavy and it's so difficult and I'm not making enough money what happened yesterday was good yesterday was bem what happened today where's the B today what happened tells him you help me today you help me you gave me a give you a what I gave you I'm carrying water for the what did I give you he says the says the is decided already in sh from it's the how much money you got to make it doesn't matter if you work three days a week 7 days a week 30 hours a day 3 hours a day if you're a stock broker if you sell wood if you sell pencils if you sell Q-tips to hotel chains if you sell uh uh jewelry if you sell whatever you sell AEM decides how much money he's going to give you on regardless of how much you work regardless of how much you do it doesn't make a difference but the mishna which came before came before the G says that the is also decided every day so says I always ask myself if it's already decided on why am I being judged again every day he already decided why is gonna change his mind doesn't change his mind even he told the told Bak what do you think hasem changed his mind like a human being doesn't change his mind so why if it's already decided already I'm going to make 100,000 I'm going to make 100 million whatever is decided what's being decided every day and you help me get the what's the K it's already decided how much you're going to make on regardless of whether you sell wood or you sell diamonds but every day it's decided how you're going to make it if it's going to be if it's going to be easy like someone's going to give you hey by the way sir you just uh here's a bonus 500 bucks for the day why I didn't even do anything no no I like you it's $500 here's a tip or it's going to be a l with a car accident some people think that there's a mistake in a system they say oh wait de I'm going to make money on three days after I got fired how make what hasm said I'm not going to make any money no he could have decided you're still going to make a million dollars this year but instead it's going to be from a car accident instead it's going to be from a lawsuit instead it's going to be from some type of other you ask anybody with a brain do you rather make a decent living off of a normal job or through a car accident any normal person would tell you no no no give me uh 10% of the money just no accident I don't want to lose an arm lose a leg lose an eye lose anything but sometimes people get so desperate with their infatuation with money that I've heard at least a couple of times in my life somebody says you know what it's not so bad if I get hit by a bus but I can make an extra few million dollars what's the big deal at least I have the money now all of you normal people are thinking this guy's crazy that person that said it was a Jew but unfortunately a Jew without t and a Jew without tah the calls him an what's an who's described as an in the Tor the the Tora says that a Jew without learning T is no different than a to such an extent that according to the a Jew that does not learn Tora should not be allowed to eat meat why the cow is better than him this is what the sages say this is what Raba says this is what R says why because at least the cow says the cow says thank you hm for giving me some uh grass to eat thank you Hashem for giving me some air to breathe the Jew how is he going to say thank you to hasm if he doesn't even know he exists how so most people want to know the secret to so first and foremost we have to learn how to avoid how to avoid bad parasa and that's really the secret to once we avoid all the obstacles of getting p bad only leaves room for now when I did Investments for almost 16 years we ran a hedge fund a brokerage firm an investment firm or a uh insurance company all types of things and different people would come to invest with us and different people would come to work for us and at least a couple of times a week there will be a uh Young guy with a lot of courage and a lot ofah would tell me listen let me have the money that you're managing for your clients or at least give me a portion of it give me a $100 million like it's nothing like I just found it on the street give me $100 million I'll manage it for you you don't have to worry about anything you can go to Vegas you go on vacation I'll manage it for you you don't have to worry about anything the kid just came out of diapers he's 18 years old he just found out what it means to be a male but he wants to manage $100 million so say how how could it be so what makes you so confident now that you're out of a diaper what makes you so confident that you could manage $100 million that people work really hard for what makes you so confident to manage a100 million know $100 million is what makes you so confident say no it's easy I did it I had a demo account I had a demo account on Yahoo with fake money and I started the account with a 100 million fake dollars and I invested in different stocks and right now he tells me I got a billion dollars you're lucky I'm willing to work for you so if you give me the $100 million I'll do the same thing I did with the fake money we're both rich just give me 50% you don't have to work anymore I'm your retirement plan he tells me you think you got the job only a fool will give such a person anything and the reason why is because demo money is not real money you're never going to be as good with real money as you are with demo money never it's never get the same why is it never the same because the most critical part of managing money is managing your emotions when it's fake money there's no emotions who cares if you lose it's no different than a terrorist you can't beat the terrorists why they're willing to die anyway what are you going to do I'm going to kill you okay fine I was going to do it for you but okay you want to kill me help me out it's easier you can't beat the terrorists they're willing to Die the guy playing with the demo money has nothing to lose he'll invest in anything he'll invest in penny stocks he'll invest in fake compan compies I'll invest in the Ponzi scheme I'll invest in anything sounds good who cares big deal Bitcoin there's actually by the way just to show you the level of stupidity that's happening in the financial markets not that I track it but I have a few students that keep bothering me about this thing and I looked at it for five minutes and I said listen just to show you prove you an example that only fools are investing in this regardless of what it says on TV Only Fools there's actually a coin called panzi coin panzi you know what Ponzi Ponzi is a Ponzi scheme it's a scam the guy started a joke he started a website started a website and he said I'm starting a coin in a few months and it's going to be a pzi scam meaning everything you deposit into my coin I'm going to steal from you he writes it outright in it's a joke but he writes it on the website I'm GNA steal all the money from you he launched the coin within eight hours a quar million dollars was deposited into his account he he shut down the coin he said I never realized how stupid people are I told you I'm going to steal the money from you you still gave me the money obviously it was a joke but you guys are really stupid now what's the stuper part of it it's still trading to this day a month later people are still investing into it working yes and eventually it's all going to go to zero the point is is stupidity if stupidity itself was a stock I would invest into it why the price would be to Infinity but this also has to do with us we ask the same Yem the same hand of hem to give us when we don't even know how to say thank you sometimes we don't know how to say thank you we ask Hashem for we askm for all types of all types of Miracles of how to give us a good living but we're not avoiding any of the potholes and bombs in the way that are ruining our so hasem says the bestul is to beul you be the Gula people always look for zul they look for like magic tricks little shortcuts of how to do certain things there's little different things you can do to get more money to get married to have to have different things but there's one that's above all what is it you be you be the you do so good with your connection withm just you existing that's the best Gula in the world that's the key to all the success you can possibly have now when someone is trading with fake money with demooney money it's very easy for them to succeed because they they don't realize that it's all fake they don't realize that they're stepping on in places they're not supposed to but if you give somebody real money they're not going to trade the same and the reason why is because as soon as they step on a pothole and they start seeing real pain because the boss is throwing a stapler at their head because they just lost them a million dollars or the customer is calling he wants to the company CU they lost $20 million it's not the same thing as demo money anymore why there's actually something happening people's lives are changing because the money keeps going up and down if you keep investing in nonsense people are going to get affected by it and they're going to do something about it it's not like fake money that no one cares and no one knows and no nothing happens so I have a question for you do you want me to give you advice that's not going to work similar to demo accounts you want me to give you advice for that's a little more difficult but actually it's going to work meaning I can give you all types oful I give you a book oful of different things you can do and you're going to make all these types of different things that says you do this you're going to make money do this you're going to make money do this you're going to have kids you do this you going to have all these different things all different there's books oful and then I can tell you three things instead that are definitely going to work the 100 first ones are not going to work but you'll have them at least it's like demo money you'll have fake $100 million the three are definitely going to work but it's much more risky it's much more significant it's much more difficult most people are going to want the second choice even though some of you are looking confused right now it's the second choice is the right one so first and foremost a person needs to understand that when thear says that created the Shabbat in order for you to stop know for you to cease cease your creation he didn't necessarily just mean stop lighting fire obviously you have to stop lighting fire obviously you have to stop driving cars obviously you have to stop turning on a TV if you even still have a TV it's obvious but unfortunately there's much more that most people don't even know most people think that they're keeping Shabbat but in reality that they're violating Shabbat even though they're not driving even though they may not be exchanging uh money physically even though they're not on the internet they're not on their phone but they're still violating Shabbat why they're still talking business and today is no different than any other day most business is made with your lips most business just simple conversation so when many Shabbat you have the K you say to hem thank you very much for giving us the Shabbat you do the K on the wine you K on the bread you eat enough food for a week and all the great things and you start talking now if the conversation is about the you heard in the Tor the the all of those things the reality is that most conversations in don't have much to do with it they give the kids maybe five or 10 minutes attention tell them oh give us the that you heard just to you know make them feel like they're part of the whole thing they have the kids say a to and then the kid goes to sleep or goes to play goes somewhere else and everybody else continues back to their conversation and what's the conversation about oh that piece of real estate yeah that building I think I'm going to buy it no that one no I think I'm going to sell it that diamond it's a great piece I think I think I'm going to invest in it I think you want to go Partners okay we'll do we'll talk about after Shabbat you just made the deal now we'll talk about after Shabbat no no we don't make the deal now we talk about after Shabbat what it's a d Flawless no no it's a VBS it's a VB this VB that people M talk 100% business on Shabbat but you tell them you keep Shabbat of course I keep Shabbat shom waiting of course I keep Shabbat didn't R said all those things I said no it even says worse it even says worse what does it say on what does it say many of us know somebody that's a Shabbat a recent statistic by PW Research Center that I read made me sick to my stomach first it said that 90% of American Jews do not keep Shabbat this is not a k it's sad it's horrible but out of 6 million American Jews only 600,000 keep Shabbat 5.4 million do not keep Shabbat this is a problem it's not the K I'm about to tell you though sad both me and you want to cry about it but there's something even sadder what's sadder the same research said that although 90% of American Jews do not keep Shabbat 94% believe it's okay to work on Shabbat 90% don't work on Shabbat but 94% believe it's okay to work on Shabbat meaning that 4% of the 10% which is really 40% 4% of the say now well you want to work you need to work listen hasm didn't give you enough work on Shabbat what can you do Hashem has to manage he didn't give you enough money it's his fault meaning 40% of the so-called religious Jews admitted say it's okay to work on Shabbat if you need to meaning the problem is not just with the secular people the reform the conservative the atheists the messianics and all the other stuff that's in between the problem is in the religious community as well and the reason why is because most people simply do not know the magnitude of Shabbat now I'm not going to go into the details that I went into in my sh about G that's not for here but I'm gonna tell you a couple of small things that will shock you because most people simply don't know this according to the ramb in Shabbat Chapter 30 a Jew that violates Shabbat regularly not that he does it by accident if he does it by turns on the light by accident or something like that it's a different story he has to bring a has to give has to do chv but it's not on purpose someone that drives on Shabbat someone that smokes cigarettes on Shabbat someone that works on Shabbat which includes the people that think they keep Shabbat but they're talking business on Shabbat they're talking about diamonds and jewelry and business and the stock market and Bitcoins and real estate and pretty much a lot of people a lot of people those people someone that violates Shabbat on a regular basis the rambam says in Shabbat Chapter 30 in the eyes of hem he's considered 100% an idol worshipper why an idol worshipper why what's the what's what's what do one thing have to do with the other the idol worshipper is praying to Buddha this guy just did K on wine this guy just drove a car big deal he doesn't he believ you ask every most Jews you ask him do you do you believe in God tell you yes most do you know who God is no not so much do you know that you have to do not so much you know that there's a reward and Punishment not so much but is there a god most Jews will tell you yes most you ask people that are really have some decent Heritage in the bharian communities Israeli communities and so on most have some level of belief in hasem they don't necessarily know much about the obligations but they have they believe in God there there's a starting point you ask him do you talk business on Shabbat yeah what's the big deal I'm only talking I'm not doing any transactions I'm not uh I'm not giving any many money just talking just words business is just words I build a100 million business with just words not once did I ever take cash not one time not one time my entire career for 16 years that anybody ever give me money in my hands why we didn't work with money work with digits computers you send money on a computer even when somebody would send a check I wouldn't see it it would just go directly into a bank it was all digital who deals with cash anymore what AM my ice cream truck who deals with cash nobody deals with cash it's all talking Mr Jones do you want to buy it's a million and a half dollars for so and so yes no yes if you say yes I make 60,000 today if you say no then I'll call somebody else and make 60,000 beginning end the conversation yes or no it's all talk but people think no no I'm just talking I'm not doing anything Shabbat and 94% of American Jews feel it's okay to work on Shabbat feel it's okay to work on Shabbat the rambam says those people are considered Idol worshippers and the reason why is just just like the idol worshipper replaced the source of all water with holes in the middle of the desert broken holes broken systemns like the Prophet Jeremiah says that can't even hold water just like he pre just like he replaced the source of all water of all good with nothing the Jew that talked business on Shabbat the Jew that worked on Shabbat the Jew that's not keeping Shabbat same thing he replaced me with nothing he replac it with nothing now how how bad does it really get in the second book of one of the shot that's asked is is Islam considered idolatry are the considered Idol worshippers for the most part they're evil some are decent human beings but many of them want to kill us you do statistics a few Prager University and a few other major research houses did statistics it's not a conspiracy most of them want to kill us has nothing to do with us not liking them it has to do with them just wanting us to cease existence because that's their job in the world why did this happen by the way does anybody know the midash says something awful awful small actions big reactions all of us remember s you heard the wife ofm said AB listen to your wife what does it mean listen to your wife she's a bigger Prophet than you Sarah bigger Prophet than abah bigger Prophet Sarah made a mistake one time she mistreated haal mistreated her MRE her she didn't act so nice tiny small thing okay she said something she did some things but she didn't kill her there a few things small things big deal no what's mid what's the measure for measure hasem says just like saru mistreated hag her descendants ish is going to torture is until mashia comes small action big reaction shock of a lifetime when you understand what it means this is all part of there's no there's no solution other than chv now unlike the Christians the is according to the ram that Islam is not idolatry it's not idolatry but Christianity is idolatry so Rim writes the details of why it's not idolatry but then he gives something that's mentioned in that is Rel very relevant to us thear says that if you have uncooked wine if you have uncooked wine and a idol worshipper touches the wine you have to throw it out you're not allowed to enjoy it by drinking it and you're not allowed to sell it either you're not allowed to enjoy it from consuming it or from any other way you have to destroy it once it's open yes you gave him a cup of K cup it's uncooked wine the idol worshipper shook it held it touched it even if it's the whole bottle the bottle is open or even if it's the whole Barrel the Barrel is open the idol worshipper shook it a little bit garbage you are not even allowed to give it to your dog little Christian believes in JC Penney touch the thing that's it it's all garbage could be the whole barrel of wine could be $500,000 if it's expensive wine garbage not allowed to give it to dogs cats can't sell it can't do anything with it all you can do with it is throw it out same thing you can do with the wigs that come from in in India only mitvah you have with wigs from India is to burn it it's the only thing you can do with it other than that there's no other mitvah to do with it now that's because is detestable by hem it's disgusting to hem you've replaced everything with nothing part two if someone that's a Muslim Muslim touches you wine touches your wine what can you do it's open again it's open if it's closed it's a different story if it's open what can you do with this wine you're not allowed to drink it but you are allowed to sell it you're allowed to give it to your dog you're allowed to give it to a non-jew you're allowed to sell it you're allowed to enjoy it why because he's not an idol worshipper but you're not allowed to drink it Idol worshipper garbage not Idol worshipper you can enjoy it in some regards but you can't consume it shock of Lifetime if a Shabbat touches your wine he has the same de as the idol worshipper he has the same Dean as the idol worshipper the guy that prays to Buddha you must throw out the wine meaning even if the Muhammad himself comes and he touches the wine you still allowed to sell it but your fellow Jew your brother your sister the you can't touch the wine if that doesn't make you sad about what's going to make you sad it's a sin It's a Sin from the Tora as a matter of fact to give him to touch it is a sin you ruined wine to give him the wine to give him the wine is not allowed why you ruined wine not let the ruin wine it's about your your brother your sister your father your mother somewhat relevant to you your best friend from childhood just touch the wine you're not allowed to drink it you're not allow to do anything you have to judge it the same way as but the Muslim terrorist it's okay we can still sell it we can still make a few dollars off of it that's it doesn't make sense but that's God why am I telling you these shocking facts because if we don't start understanding the significance of Shabbat we're going to continue violating it even the ones that call ourselves if you don't learn you're guaranteed to be violating Shabbat if you don't come to the on a regular basis every week teach me Shabbat what book can I have to learn Shabbat you're guaranteed to be violating Shabbat one guy told me yeah yeah I keep Shabbat already for 10 years I said you're probably not keeping Shabbat said no how do you know I don't keep Shabbat I said you don't learn how could you learn you keep Shabbat you're not learning there's no way that you're keeping Shabbat go I'm keeping Shabbat for 10 years well you a prophet I said there's no way you're keeping shabat he said okay prove it I said no problem do you eat uh peanuts do you eat uh cashews anything go yeah yeah sure why not allowed I said it's allowed it's allowed you're allowed to eat uh pistachios you like pistachios yeah I love pistachio youat pistachios he goes almost every Shabbat I said how do you eat pistachios says what do you mean how to eat pistachio IAT I opened the peel I put it in this I I I eat pistachios say you're violing Shabbat why it's not to eat pistach it's a lot to eat pistachios but it's not allowed to do it's not allowed to separate the good from the bad meaning that you have to have two piles one with good and bad one with just good meaning even in the garbage pile you have to have a few pistachios that are unopened that are good that are eatable why because if you separate the bad the peel from the pist itself it's this is a small tiny little thing but if you don't know if you don't know it you're violating Shabbat it's small little tiny things but like we saw with s menu s menu small tiny thing was still suffering for it till this day M small tiny little thing was still suffering to this day small little steps make big actions in sh it's not the same thing so first and foremost you want a school you have to keep Shabbat perfect perfect like you have to learn everything there is to know about it you have to be the expert and you got to get other people to keep Shabbat you're obligated to get other people to keep Shabbat why are you obligated to get other people to keep Shabbat because until now you've been violating Shabbat probably until now you've been violating Shabbat probably at some point we violated Shabbat we made some mistakes so you're going to go up to sh after 120 and say oh yeah good job you went to the you kept Shabbat good job but for 10 years before that you didn't keep Shabbat so there's a deficit in your account there's a deficit in your account oh sorry sir you have to go to Gom what do you mean I've been keeping Shabbat yes you kept Shabbat for all the years you kept Shabbat GED but there was 10 years you didn't keep Shabbat you were pistachios and hot water and you were talking business and all those things so what are you going to do how could I I go back in the future what am I going to do ah this is a solution what's the solution gives us the solution what's the solution he says to the prophet return and bring others back from your transgression so that they are not an obstacle to your iniquity meaning you want to have a full account of of of Shabbat get other people to keep Shabbat why there was a few years you didn't keep Shabbat but if you get your friend your brother your cousin someone to start keeping Shabbat every Shabbat you keep and they keep that's two Shabbat for you so now you show up to sh have two shabbats now and then next week another two shabbats and next week another two shabbats if you get 10 people 10 shabbats 20 people 20 shabbats 30 people turn on the uh button in the back there's a little clip on the back to turn on the extra battery there's a little button in the back little clip in the back that turns a second battery there's just one switch in the back yeah there you go so we have a deficit right now we all have a deficit we all made a mistake somewhere sometimes on purpose sometimes accident sometimes on purpose sometimes accident I made plenty of sins in my life because I live most of my life is a I have a lot of work to do some of you were the same some of you are better I don't know it doesn't make a difference point is to do CH the prophet says we're all obligated to do the same thing we're all obligated to do K why we all have a deficit we're all made messed up somewhere so how do we do it you get one person to do Chua maybe he's gonna get his wife to do Chua maybe the wife is gonna make the husband do Chua now the kids are going to be little everybody's going to do CH every stuck keeping all of it goes to your account now all 5 10 20 30 4 40 years you've been violating now every every week you got 40 shabbats every week you're you're you're making up for a whole year that's chuva so first and foremost you want start keeping Shabbat and get other people to keep Shabbat second thing much easier much easier to say much more difficult to do this may sound strange but I touched on it a little bit before we have to stop stealing that's the skoa the skoa is you have to stop stealing says if you want guaranteed to lose all of your money either steal or go to prostitutes I don't think anybody here ever goes to such things but unfortunately many of us don't even know that sometimes our business is so dishonest it's considered in shim 100% stealing you have to make sure that your money is kosher not just in your eyes in the eyes of hem in the eyes of hem you have to make sure that your money is kosher if your money is not coming in a kosher way you have to find a new way to make money there's no there's no leniency oh no no it's not a kosher but I'm giving 20% it's not Kosher but I'm giving 50% of the money to the look we're expending look I'm paying for it it's not koser money but I'm paying for a lot no there's no such thing there's no such thing as making a mitvah through sin money has to be kosher it has to be kosher it's much more difficult to do because sometimes it requires people to change careers sometimes it requires them to change customers sometimes it requires them to change Partnerships sometimes you have a partner who's m a thief and he's not going to change he likes to steal he doesn't care abouta he doesn't care about anything other than the Bentley that he wants to buy he doesn't care about anything other than expansion to his house he's willing to kill lie steal he's willing to do anything for money you have to change Partners it's difficult easy to say though it's much less than the Shabbat but it's much more difficult to do because it requires us to sometimes change our life change our life to such an extent that you may have to change a business there are some businesses that by default by default are stealing I'll give you an example that unfortunately many Jews fall into I remember when I was a kid it's 20 years ago was very popular to sell Electronics now what are Jewish people doing in electronics when the Japanese and the Chinese are making it what are we doing in that business apparently a certain sex within Judaism found a niche 20 years ago of how to cheat what they do they would buy refurbished Goods they would buy a machine they buy a computer that's it's not new that it broke that went bad somebody returned it to the company the company fixed it because of the warranty and gave it back but the guy doesn't want it anymore and he returned it to the uh store so the store is not going to be able to sell it as new anymore even though technically all the parts in it a brand new and even though it's probably even better than a brand new machine in reality it does not have the same value just like the car that's let's say a $500,000 car it's I don't Rolls-Royce or whatever car is worth $500,000 on the lot it's $500,000 the second it drives off the lot for one second it drops by at least 30% why but there's not even a mile on it doesn't make a difference it's no longer new once it leaves the lot it's no longer new once somebody opens the box it's no longer new it does no longer has the same value make sense or not that's reality that's that's capitalism so some people will buy these refurbished machines and sell them now what has no problem with buying refurbished machines and selling them there's no problem with that what's the problem what's the stealing the stealing is selling the refurbished that's new selling the refurbished taking off the stickers that it says refurbished that says used and putting other stickers that say new and putting stickers that somehow they would get to put the box and make it look new and sell it as new so now instead instead of selling it for $300 because it's used because it's a refurbished machine now it's worth $9.99 now it's worth three times the amount this is 100% stealing every machine you stole every single machine unfortunately this is still happening to this day this still happening to this day other businesses there are people that go into the lending business first and foremost you should know that being in lending for a Jew is already a problem why because you have to make sure that all of your customers are not Jewish what are you going to start asking every customer on the application are you Jewish you're not allowed to do that according to the laws of America you're not allowed to reject them because they're Jewish so what are you going to do how you going to verify that every customer is a Jew why because he's called a certain name I know a guy that's called John Cohen he's not Jewish his name is Cohen but he's not Jewish so you can't tell by names how you going to verify if he's Jewish why is it a problem if he's Jewish or not because if he's a Jew and you lent him money you have just losta why because you're not lending him the money for free you're lending the money for interest especially these small lenders small lenders big interest you're charging the guy interest you're charging the guy 20 30% interest whatever is legal plus or minus an extra couple of percent you're lending a money he's paying an arm and a leg most of the time they can't ever pay it back because the interest is so high so they have to refinance it and refinance it and refinance and refinance and they're going to go bankrupt and the government pays for it but in reality this is a you know from the the gate from the door it's already a forgivable loan meaning no one's ever getting paid back but the guy is going to pay interest the whole time you lend them the money you have a serious problem you have a serious problem many Jews are in that business and they care less of whether they're ly the Jews or not why because they think they're doing them a favor why I'm doing my favor wouldn't get the money any the other way that's God's business not your business let him finding another way let let Hashem Run the World Hashem does not have you here to run the world he has you here to run your own world not to run his world there are problematic businesses many people go into other businesses like these uh carts in in in malls some of them are honest businesses some of them are not I'm not going to start going to a list of all the problematic businesses also the investment world is a very problematic business there's many people that are stealing from customers I remember was very popular back then it's very popular right now which is to get people to do something called trade so you get uh Mr Jones or Mr Stevenson or Mr whatever to invest a bunch of money with you and you keep encouraging him to trade oh yeah to today the stock went up oh today the stock went down oh bitcoin's up bitcoin's down bit you keep getting the guy into the hype and it's very fun it's a gambling you get the guy into the hype and every day he says yes yes yes yes yes and you as the broker are also saying yes yes yes what yes yes yes he's saying yes and you're saying yes to your pocket because every time you do a transaction money goes into your pocket for commission that by the way is not only unethical it's also illegal it's called churning there's a term for it in the business it's called churning and people go to jail for it and lose their licenses and last but not least it's also against the tat it's stealing if there's no real reason to trade and you're just purely doing it to generate commissions it's 100% stealing if there's a real reason to trade then you do it but most of the people that are trading don't know what they're doing and I'm telling you from somebody I did it for almost 20 years most of the people that are calling you and telling you trade this trade this trade this they're only telling you because it makes them money not because it makes you money historically speaking the people that actually make money from the Investments are not the ones that trade it's the ones that invest hold on for a long time but the point as is that there are many many problematic businesses sometimes you're going to actually steal the wisdom of another person steal the uh the knowledge of a person you ask a real estate broker this do me a favor sell my house sell my house you're going to get a commission 2% 5% 10 whatever they charge these days and a guy a week later comes back to you he says yeah no problem going to sell your house but instead of a half a million it's only $400,000 what do you mean it's $100,000 less than what I asked for yeah what do you say listen it's a it's a tough Market he starts selling you a story of why you should take $400,000 because you got it really quickly and then maybe the price will get bad maybe it's going to get less and he convinces you to do something that's really against your own interest why because he gets money today instead of money in six months from now what actually requires work this is unethical business this is how most brokers work you watch if anybody still has a TV in your house and you still watch any of the shows there are shows on TV I remember watching years ago where these Brokers literally would do this to their customers on live television tell them the guy list the house for a million the guy comes back a week later yeah listen I found you a buyer great news great buyer cash okay great let's sell it oh it's only 700 50,000 what do you mean $250,000 less you know how hard it is to make $250,000 yeah listen you got the money now what do you want to get the money now or maybe you're never going to get the money starts making you feel like kind you know self-conscious maybe you're really holding garbage and it's not really worth the million dollars you should take the money and run and he starts making you self-conscious why because he wants his money he doesn't care about your money for him he's not losing a quar million dollars he's not losing a penny he's making money now this is unethical business practices so the second thing is is much much easier to say much more difficult to do meaning we have to change our business practices we have to change our business practices because if we're not making kosher money it's impossible for us to have in the money impossible for us to be you could be making a million dollars a day but all that money could be going into medicine there's a guy that I know he made $100 million in his life he thought he has everything and then his 23 or 24 year old son which is my cousin died on R he went on a scooter which is not allowed by the way on on motor scooter but they weren't keeping mitv and unfortunately they didn't even believe in God and a 24 year old kid woke up one day and didn't wake up the next he fell off the scooter he hurt his head the doctors told him everything's okay he went back to sleep and he never woke up now how much do you think that $100 million is worth exactly zero exactly zero $100 million worth nothing if you don't have a life nothing you don't have a life I could tell you I made a ton of money in my life before I lost it I made it all of it became worthless in one day not because I lost it in one day but because when you don't have your health and you realize that you don't have it all becomes worthless we have a lot to learn from but we have a lot to learn from that's why the is reminded to us every single year why what's the moral of the story that we're obligated to learn the moral of the story is what we learn towards the end of the M to was the end of the migil when it all comes through he tells his wife I have everything I have the power from the King to run the world I have money I have kids I have this I have this I have this but I don't have one thing I don't have this Jew bowing to me and that makes everything worthless if you don't have one thing if you don't have everything is worthless everything is worthless all the you can make a lot of money you can make 15 million a minute but if there's no because you have no Shabbat or you have no Kosher or you have no schom or your kids are off the or Torah is not even an obligation in your house if there's no in the money you have nothing the question is how much are you going to pay for it are you going to wait like I did until you lose it all and then hasem obligates you to do it or you're smarter than I was he say you know what before it gets dangerous let me start doing do we have tomorrow morning morning why we have tomorrow morning because we have to do CH and the next day and the next day and the next day and every day you have to do CH every day you have to learn why unless you learn T it's impossible for you to be a Kos it's impossible for you to be saved mashia comes it's impossible that's what the were trying to tell us all along you have to learn the not because of only the story of being the kab told everybody not to go why no one listened to him anyway what do you have to learn from ham H why ham the whole story is because he couldn't control his desire he couldn't control desire he was willing to pay $334 million cash just to kill a bunch of people that didn't even affect them because one Jew didn't bow to him but you have billions you have trillions you have everything in the world it's all worthless why he doesn't have you don't have it's all meaningless that's the moral of the story I don't know what you have I don't care what I do want you to have is blessing in your money that's what is that's the moral upon it's not more money it's whatever you have to actually have blessing in it that way at the end of every month you're going to do exactly what this m says that we learned a few months ago in our series it says who's rich someone who's happy with a share how can you be happy with your share if it's less than last year how can you be happy with your share if it's less than last month how can you be happy with your share before you even got it you're happy with your share because it has a blessing why once it has a blessing you know where it comes from Once you know where it comes from how could it be any bad how could it be any bad and that way when it comes to actually giving donations when it comes to doing when it comes to paying for when it comes to buying Kos when it comes to doing anything that's relevant to hem you don't feel like it's a onus on you it's it's a big thing why all you're doing is you're you're fulfilling your obligation of the partnership he gave you 100% 10 you give 10 big deal we don't want to be likeon the sayson Ben was so rich he was the richest man of the land so rich that he was one of three people that supplied food to all of am is for three years one day ran sees his daughter searching for food where where inside the excuse me from the waste of the of the donkeys in the poop of the donkeys so says who are you what are you doing here why are you looking through the poop of donkeys I'm looking for I'm looking for some Wheats for some grains that the donkeys weren't able to digest so we could eat them that's level of PR he says who are you who are you what happened how did they get to such a point says I'm the daughter of has almost a heart attack how could it be your father is sadik your father is your father is Hashem stopped the Sun for him in the sky he's one of two people in history Hashem stopped the Sun for him in the sky it's not a it's not just somebody with a lot of money know how could it be your father gave a lot of says he says yes but he didn't give enough what do you mean he gave for all is wasn't enough wasn't enough a lot of people think they gave enough I gave a million dollars it wasn't enough why if it was enough I'd still have it if it was enough you'd have blessing in the money if it was enough you'd be you'd be happy with your sh if you're giving enough you feel a spiritual connection to your life to the money that you're making your money becomes like you li T someone that actually does kosher things with their money they make money and automatically they give their share to automatically they give it towards automatically they do good things with not just sponsor Hanah parties okay for the donuts but we need more Jews than Donuts somebody that's connected to a on a regular basis not when they're sick not when someone else is sick on a regular basis makes kosher money and operates like a kosher person why his is so good such says it's like he learned T all day it's like he learned to all day why he made x amount of money he knows by default is he knows by default a part of that money must go to somebody learning to must go to somebody that's going to do Chua why if we continue the way we're doing and all we worry about is making more and building bigger houses and getting more cars and bigger watches and more diamonds and all the materialism then all we're left with is materialism but when the mashia Comes This is the moral of the story you want it's not too difficult it's not too difficult the information is not too difficult to do it takes a little time this will help us all do CH and this chv will start with our pockets any questions yes I understand that the gets a sin right what it's also a sin it's also I mean it's a listen someone that violates Shabbat should not be touching anything that uh is he's not supposed to so in essence somebody that's a uh it's only if it's uncooked wine most people that buy wine on Shabbat by the way it's usually cooked wine they usually buy grape juice or they buy cheaper wine that's cooked wine but if it's uncooked wine it's not if you're going to invite people if you're invite people to your house to don't keep Shabbat then give them cooked wine give them grape juice or give them cooked wine so at least they're not making a sin and you're not making a sin so that's that eliminates that obstacle yeah banks are owned by Jew right how does that work well majority of banks are owned by shareholders meaning it's not just Jews it's it's shareholders so meaning that most big institutions whether it's Bank of America or uh or a City Bank or any of these major companies they're very very big companies and most banks even small local banks they're still big institutions that's owned by shareholders uh once it's owned by shareholders then the Pim look at the majority if the majority of the shareholders are go then you're allowed to uh to borrow from them but if it's let's say owned if you know that this one lender you're not even borrowing it from a bank you're borrowing it from a person and he's a Jew the only way you're allowed to borrow him is if he doesn't charge you interest if he charg your interest you're not allowed to borrow it because the person that borrows the money and pays interest and the and the person that charges the interest both of them make a sin in charge what right so if you're borrowing from a big bank for example for a mortgage you have nothing to worry about because there's enough leniency as the r would tell you that most of these Banks are owned by shareholders and if they're owned by shareholders then you have the leniency that it's not owned by a Jew it's the major majority of shareholders in the world are non-js even though there's a lot of Rich Jews in the world if you look at the uh dynamics of how many Rich Jews there are versus how many Rich go we can't compare so most of the shareholders are non-jews and therefore you're allowed to borrow money for for a mortgage and things of that nature there are some that are that are more strict like for example F my he refuses to borrow money for a mortgage or for anything so to this day he rents a house and he will never buy a house until he can pay for it 100% cash why because he says I don't know and he doesn't even want to take the risk but there is a leniency to you know on that regards when it comes to mortgages from a big bank because most of the shareholders are going if you learn Shabbat then you're you're most likely not going to violate it you don't drive a car youology people talk Ken Ken so here's the thing so if I if I told you okay so let's say I have a cup of you guys gave me you kind and you gave me some Pepsi or whatever Sprite or something right okay so let's say for example I had 100 of these I had 100 of them okay and you didn't drink all day you were very very thirsty you ran a marathon you haven't had one drink of water and I told you listen I have a hundred of these want one what are you goingon to say yes right oh but one second before you drink it one of them I'm not going to tell you which one but one of them has poison in it you going to still drink it no why because you don't want to take the chance same concept the fact that people talk about business is their problem doesn't doesn't mean it's your problem they could talk about business until next year as a matter of fact if you actually learn what the AR said about Shabbat and what the actually said about Shabbat they said that even a a a common conversation not even business talk even just a simple conversation about nothing with your wife is judged in sham why not allow to talk about nothing on Shabbat Shabbat is a very very special day which means that if you have to say speak as much as you want if you don't don't speak I know it's not easy I know it's the opposite of the reality you live in but if I can do it trust me you can I was Mr business like you said there was nothing else to talk about I was the guy if I can do it you can do it how do you do it learn Tor once you learn a lot of Tor there's nothing to talk about other than Tor you're going to talk about what you do what you do people talk about what they do all day if your whole life is about business then all you going to have to talk about is about business if your whole life is about watching reality shows then all you're going to talk about is reality show oh do you see what Snookie did and what this guy did and what that guy it's all you that's all you know is what you talk about if you watch the market all day all you gonna talk about is oh you see what uh Cisco and Eber did and what Macy's did and what Sears did and they're out of business and they're in business that's all you it's all you know but if you learn Torah that you're going to talk about Tor so now if your Torah learning is weak this is why you have here waiting for you to come to if you want more every Tuesday night and AV T you're exactly 20 minutes away we have a sh every Tuesday night at at the uh Breast Center at 9 o' and it goes on for three hours so even if you're an hour late like some of my students you still have two hours to go even if you're two hours late you still have an hour to go we don't we're not uh we're not stringing on people that are late I have some people come two hours late we're still okay they still learn for an hour you want to learn to Tuesday night if if if you want more more Sunday night in Hollywood you want more Wednesdays in different places in Miami point is there's plenty of Torah plenty of Torah you have to learn every day you wanta or you want to go to Gom which one you want is a good one the Gom is a bad one I have a sh about Gom if you want to know but if you want to go you have to learn every day you must learn to every day why it's the only way you're GNA be a Kos without learning to it's impossible to be a kosher Jew it's only a matter of time before you become part of everybody else it's a very very very important thing that people need to understand it's not a joke it's not like oh listen I'm going to keep Shabbat I'm going to keep kosher and uh you know I'm gonna pass by I'm gonna sneak into ganeden it doesn't work that way this the Judgment in sham is much stricter than the Judgment of ranim what I'm telling you that may seem harsh I'm being very nice if you come to some of my other Sho you see it's a little harsher than one I'm saying and even that's not harsh k like it's not on Shabbat it's not what you're supposed to be doing on Shabbat it's not what you're supposed to be doing on Shabbat but but when it comes down when it comes down to learning when it comes down to kids it comes down to younger kids there's a little bit more leniency for stot than there is for adults but that's assuming they've spent at least as much time learning to so if let's say for example the entire Shabbat they spend three hours playing basketball and three minutes learning to obviously the parents are messing up somewhere it's not the fault of the kid it's the fault of the parent it's not the fault of the kid it's the fault of the parent it's 100% of the the kid obviously the kid is the kid obviously has his own his own brain but the parent is at fault it's not just the kid why if the parent tells the kid listen this is not acceptable in my house it's not acceptable my house that's simple as it gets why don't listen what do you mean don't listen don't listen if they don't listen then uh you have to be a stronger parent you have to be a you have to it's more difficult I understand it's not it's not it's not what two second the kids going to listen you have to entice them you have to entice them so how do you entice them how do you entice them we G to celebrate you know a lot of people like but they don't understand also said if you have to convince your kids to learn t with money convince them with money convince them with money you have to give him a 100 bucks to go learn tah for five hours with you give him a $100 give him $200 whatever you can give him just to convince him to learn tah why because if he becomes it's the parents fault it's not just his fault so you have to convince him with money convince him with money so meaning in the beginning he's going to have to be convinced with some money in the beginning he's going to have to be convinced with some ARG arguments with some uh this some this eventually if you give him sweet toah eventually he's going to like it eventually he's going to come Tuesday nights because he wants to learn to in the beginning it's hard of course today's age all they see is uh naked girls and uh and money signs on top of it and big watches bigger than their hands that's all they see today I feel bad for them even Theos Ros the rabbi of Raba says I want the mashia to come but I don't want to be there why he say it's going to be very hard before mashia comes that doesn't mean we have a free ride doesn't mean we have a free ride it means it mean does not mean we have a free ride it just means it's hard but that's why you have a reward if it wasn't hard there's no reward that's the point yeah one friend of TT on my phone okay your Facebook askab why woman from covers okay okay Z this is z says the per a husband a husband that tells his wife not to cover a hair is considered cursed he gets the worst curse in the entire tah why because once a husband tells his wife not to cover a hair he officially becomes one of the four people that the rambam rambam puts in as someone that's a why he caused somebody else to sin who s who he caused he caused his wife to sin how every time his wife walks around with guil Ros whether that guil R is because her wig looks like it's real hair or she's really walking around with real hair every single time a guy looks at her he's not looking up because she's he's thinking about how much of a tadika she is he's looking at her because he's imagining being with her every time a guy looks at whether he's related to her not related to her Jew non-jew he's thinking about her intimately he's making a sin every time he sins she sins every time she sins her husband sins that already makes this guy in serious trouble his only chuva is to get her to do K and get other people now the also says what does it mean the had to come to mount saai to give us the Torah came to hem and they told Hem Hem you can't go to mount sa why you can't go to Mount Si they all have deformities some are missing arms legs Eyes Ears they were slaves they were beat up for so many years but the cannot come to a place of imperfection Hashem says no big deal let me make them perfect so the guy that was blind all of a sudden he can see the guy that was missing a leg now he grew a leg the guy that was missing an arm became like the starfish he grew an arm everybody became perfect and was able to come so the says you want to come to your house they have you have to have is if you have in your house everything else comes with it all the good things in the world if you don't have schom all the bad things in the world an example real life example because people like real life examples came to this is maybe this story took place maybe a year and a half two years ago the guy was an already for five years so about cha for maybe seven years something like that learns to all day he comes to ra and he says I have a problem I had a son and the son is not leaving the hospital M the kid is sick the doctors don't know what's wrong with him and saying that any day may be his last day so asks him a question he says uh what about your wife how's your wife dealing with it and apparently didn't learn enough M her she's lucky I'm even married to her ra FR says okay and he keeps asking him other questions and then at the end he says listen do you want your son to stay in the hospital hospital do you want him to get out goes that's why I came to you I need a miracle I need something goes no it's no Miracle just very something simple goes what he says if you do what Torah says you get a miracle he goes what do you mean t I go to I learn K I make 1500 shekels a month to a learning K what what I'm not doing enough he goes no it says You must have in order for the to come why do you need you need a miracle the only thing that's going to save your kid is a miracle why I can't do enough you can't do enough only thing that hasem can do now apparently there's no schom bite in your house because of how you talk about your wife if there's no in your house there's no in your house no in your house there's no miracles in your house so starting today you have to work do everything you possibly can to honor your wife like the rambam says more than yourself become generous become nice become this all CH everything that you are change it make it better buy her jewelry buy her jewelry fores for Shabbat all the different things but also not just nice with money nice with words if she talks listen to her and so on and so words the guy knew that is not just telling him some weird schoa he said okay fine 30 days later after the kids had been in the hospital for six months the the doctor said that he may not make it 30 days later he runs to he tells him we've had a miracle the doctor's just released a little boy from the hospital and they asked me why is he even here he's perfectly fine there's no record of him ever being sick is when you want Miracles you need AEM it's not it's not rabbis it's not a strings you need AEM once you make AEM happy he changes nature for you that's really what it comes down to once a person needs to understand Hashem runs the world nothing is beyond AEM yeah you can't read non Tor related material on Shabbat you can't read non- Torah related material read you know fiction nov or something or the newspaper in reality you can't read any of that stuff anytime even more so on Shabbat well here's my question actually if I want to read a story to my child to help and it's not really about Torah is that on Shabbat why can't you read to well if I had a book and it wasn't Torah related why would you tell it to your son help learn so you could teach him from the toah that might be a little complex versus a children's book no there the uh the Torah the good news about Torah is that hm gave it to all of us so Torah is given is good for all ages the five books of Moses are something that you could explain to all all people whether they're two years old or they're 20 years old or they're 90 years old obviously there's different versions for others the truth applies to all but there's different details that you give others so for example kids like the details of the stories of abah ainu fighting the idol worship fighting you know breaking the statues the mid the stories the background stories Oram how hasem created him and they he made a mistake and he ate from the Tree of knowledge and you don't necessarily need to tell him the details of the midashim that the serpent raped and what the Z says that merely means and there G all those things you don't need to tell him but because he's young but this the basic level of the story you could tell every single kid regardless of what age and as a matter of fact you're obligated to tell your son and that's why it says in after that you read it twice a day why because after that it says different from the one of them is the that you're obligated to teach teach your kids not teach your kids stories about Harry Potter or about some uh Dick Tracy but you know teach your kids about t regardless of what age they are hasem gave the same five books of Moses to every single age every single age just different details to different ages you don't necessarily want to tell the two-year-old details of Gom but at the same token to tell him the story about abrah ainu or orov or Oru or you know making mistakes and so on that applies to every age you don't want your kid to spend their quality time with you learning anything but to because when they learn with you it's very different than when they learn with somebody else if they learn with somebody else they're not always going to take it seriously why because it's not you know it's somebody else no one is as great as ABA no one is as great as IMA but if I'm learning with ABA and IMA then whatever they're teaching me that means whatever they are teaching me that's the best that's what they learn that's what they know that's what they spend their time on which means that if you're going to teach him Dick Tracy and Spider-Man and Wolverine and all these things they're going to say oh so Wolverine is God so Spider-Man is God so uh Transformers is God so the NFL is God so whatever you tell them that's God whatever you tell your kids that's God so you have to decide who God is you decide who God is for them because until they have their own mind which is later on in life you are going to decide who's God to them so and you remember it from you being a kid I remember from when I was a kid whatever my father told me what my mom told me that was God whatever wait my teachers told me sometimes yes sometimes no so you don't want to use that special time you have with your kids uh telling them that somebody that's not God is God and the Torah applies to all and you there are many books the have written uh whether it's in feldheim or at Art scroll or mosim or different uh kosher Jewish Publications that uh have written kid versions of every single story in the tah uh you don't want to waste your time teaching them anything else other than that because the only thing that's going to actually affect their life is T everything else is not going to affect their life as far as learning the language they can learn the language from the Torah as far as learning math you could learn math but that's not something you learn necessarily all day you learn 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 nine 10 you already know half of math uh you know basic things and that's it but as far as like uh history you know want to teach them history of the go because that history changes every year and it's full of uh heresy science you don't want to teach them the science of the go because that changes every month because they believe we came from monkeys so the point is is that you have to make sure that you nurture your kid much more than we were nurtured when we were kids because that way you protect them from all theot of the world if you tell them that theot are allowed the nonsense is allowed then that's where they're going to go to yeah if we get more people we get a lot of people I'll come I always tell you guys if you get a lot of people I'll come it's not it's not necessarily a uh a problem of coming I'm already doing this all the time it's hard for me to come it's a lot of time it's a uh a big investment but if we can get people will come it's not a uh it's not an issue of me coming I would love to come it's just really a matter of fitting with the schedule to get people to come fill the place up you know today was more than last time but it was still supposed to be more so we have we have to keep trying to get you know a lot of people if we get a lot of people to come I'll come but the KLA has to invest in it you're not I don't charge not because I don't need money I don't charge because I don't want money to get in the way of of tah so what I expect though is for the Kil to invest the money advertising the Sher making sure that the community knows that the Sher exists whatever money you would pay a speaker so a speaker comes you pay him I don't know $5,000 $10,000 instead of paying me $5,000 take $5,000 put it in all the newspapers so the next time I come the whole place is packed and there's 500 people here then it's worth it for me to come every week if there's 500 people so I'm not taking the money but at least the money is actually being used for money will come some other way so that's the that's that's the idea anything else yes this is for all of you guys the present from it's a uh it's put it on your walls the CD the posters I have a question yeah if you have a jewelry store can and you buy jewelry back from the customer can can can can you polish it and you put it back in the window can and you don't tell the customer if it's new or if it's polished is well je jewelry is different is different than a computer because jewelry unless it's a brand name so for example if you buy a Rolex a Rolex is a brand name that comes in a box with where the whether it's new or not changes the price whether Rolex is new or not changes the price because it's a Rolex and it comes in a box but if it's just a piece of gold whether the piece of gold was found last week from the mine this week or 5,000 years ago is not really relevant the gold doesn't change there's no brand relevant to it so it all depends on whether it's just a piece of gold or it's a piece of gold with a brand attached to it that where the where the actual newness of it affects the price a piece of gold where's a piece of jewelry with some diamonds on it or something like that whether it's new or not is irrelevant but a piece of jewelry that has a brand name the the the newness does affect it does affect it we'll have a bigi next time amen am [Music] [Applause] [Music] he he [Music]
