Many people focused on what am I going to do with my money? Because in Germany they took everything we had. So never again. Right? We say never again. So everybody's trying to prepare. So people are asking, instead of asking me, "Rabbi, where where is where where can I get a good book about Shabbat? Where can I GET A GOOD BOOK ABOUT MUSAR? When what lecture you doing this week? How much can I donate to sponsor the next event?" No, instead of those questions, they want to get all day, "Rabbi, since the stock market is probably going to crash, what should I invest in? Since you mentioned in the shiur and 8-hour shiur that gold is just a figment of our imagination that has any value, since that's not going to be good, where should I invest it?" Like instead of "How can I get all of the money that I have invested and fix my Olam Haba?" People are trying to fix their Olam Hazeh. "Where can I put my nest egg to keep it nesting? To keep it growing? More chickens, more cars, more houses, bigger retirement plan, a bigger will that's going to benefit a bunch of strangers you care less about." Right now is an opportunity for Am Yisrael to start thinking clearly. Why? Because He is making the situation clear. It doesn't look good. You're worrying about your 401K. You're worrying about your stock portfolio. You're worrying about your real estate portfolio. You're worrying about all of these different things and you're not worrying about if you're doing the right thing as far as Halacha.
