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

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
