[Music] reminder to everybody to refrain from playing with your phones doing doing anything relevant to Tor do not play with your phones and even the people that are watching the sh online don't make comments you want to make comments in the beginning you know from Alaska from Zimbabwe from uh Chicago and so on one comment that's it don't start don't start conversing with each other start asking each other questions and start answering each other's questions why if you want to do that go do it somewhere else you're distracting to everyone else forget about the fact that you shouldn't be doing it anyway should paying attention to this you or else while you watching it's not a thread for everybody to converse it's a thread for you to watch and you could say hi and we can see that we have students from Alaska and Australia and different places and you also have Satan coming in different forms you have Christianity and messianics and sometimes kabik that think that the rebbi is mashiah or God and sometimes it's people that hate me because I told them the truth about wigs and so on and so forth J comes different ways but if you continuously go back and forth in the thread not only are you not paying attention to the sh even if you hear hearing it in the background that doesn't mean you're paying attention this is not music this is tah not only you're not paying attention to the sh but on top of it you're distracting to everyone else because now like whoa there's something going on in the shoe but there's some action on the thread and where do you think the is going to get them to Oh look The guy mentioned Jesus go go attack him attack him and then they start out everybody forgot about the shoe everybody forgot about the shoe and same thing with the phone same thing with the phone I must have said it on Sunday maybe seven eight times seven eight times I mentioned it stop playing with the phone stop playing with the phone phone I'm specifically talking about one person the guy wouldn't hear it he didn't realize he he keeps saying like this and he's the one talking on the phone the whole time he's on the phone it's m the says a person does not see any wrong in himself he thinks I'm talking about yeah yeah you stop talking about the phone stop that's understand these people talking with us yeah what's wrong with you it's you I'm talking about people don't see wrong in themselves why person needs to understand T is something holy if we're learning holy Tor that means is with us right now Hashem is here he's not looking the sky he's here right now right here he's what US says in the says in the people study Tor even if two people study Tor is right there three people is there five people is there learn Tor is there so if you knew now you can't see God but if you knew he was here for sure you still play on your phone oh let me check my stock for a second oh no no no no I'm talking talking you have to understand a few things number one if you're playing on your phone you're not paying attention number two number two you're distracting to everyone else why you're getting the also to act why you remind them they also have a phone so now they're going to check their phone they're going to check the text message they're going to check oh yeah yeah yeah he's looking at the phone the rabbi didn't say anything the rabbi didn't say anything so let me check the phone all of a sudden you start and everybody's taking out of their pocket everybody looks like everybody's dancing they keep taking the uh the phones out of the pocket and last but not least the last but not least part is you're distracting to the speaker because unlike what most people think the speaker can see better than everyone else why you're all looking in One Direction the speaker is looking everywhere he sees everything I'm right in front of you I see that you're not paying attention I'm not blind and again I see that you on the phone on and the guy under the table like I'm blind I don't know that that his hands are under the table an unusual way what's wrong with you just pay attention it's a couple of hours then you go back play with your phone till next year for all I care you're distracting why the ra is thinking what where the rabbi thinking what is the speaker thinking first of all he's thinking about his subject at hand but now he sees somebody on the phone and it bothers him why he's like it's not interesting what I'm saying it's not interesting why if it was interesting he wouldn't be on the phone so now the the or whoever the speaker is he's thinking wow I didn't study enough I didn't study enough this is not good I have today you know what maybe I should quit maybe I should have you think it's funny it's not it's 100% true you're started thinking if I was interesting he wouldn't fall asleep if I was interesting he would actually do CH if I was interesting he wouldn't play on the phone why is he playing on the phone it's my fault it's not his fault I'm boring he's not he's just doing what he has to do it's a funny joke one time actually RI says it's a real story a guy fell asleep in the middle of a Sho Rabbi was giving a sh guy fell asleep now it's not look somebody fall asleep in the middle of the shoe if somebody falls asleep in a in a in a sh somebody falls asleep in a uh during prayer you have to wake him up is there get just to honor for the rabbi's disrespectful is there can't fall asleep so the rabbi saw the guy's sleeping okay once in a while you know you talk for a little while people fall asleep he's skinny they're tired whatever yet so he lets him sleep for two minutes three minutes four minutes 5 minutes 10 20 minutes the guy's sleeping he's sleeping already he's already on his uh REM sleep already the guy's already getting REM sleep he's uh snoring and the whole neighborhood can hear so he tells the guy next to him goes no no wake him up wake him up what does the guy say you put him to sleep you you wake him up you put him to sleep you wake him up but the reality when the when when someone sees you someone speaking he sees you playing with the phone he starts thinking I'm not interesting I'm not this he starts having self-conscious issues now what happens you're thinking a no no he'll get through it he'll get through it what if he doesn't are you willing to take that on your tab what if he doesn't what if like one day he has the he says you know what I'm not I'm Gonna Cancel the sh tonight why oh yesterday I did a Shure half the people were on the phone the other half was sleeping what am I going to do a for you know what I'm going to call in sick guys tonight I'm not going to do a and that night somebody was supposed to show up to do chva online in person whatever and now she was gone who do you think gets half of the punishment speaker speaker is obviously not good but the guy that led the speaker is partnering a sin he's partnering a sin why instead of doing the opposite why supposed to give the rabbi supposed to give the rabbi encouragement to keep going not to show him you're not interested that's why he was like actually somebody was supposed to show up yesterday he didn't stop playing with his phone he did not stop playing with his phone every five minutes he kept getting up playing with the water going to the bathroom coming back playing with the water with the the whole time he was there and he was supposed to come tonight and I couldn't wait to tell him something before the sh please tonight if you're going to be here just learn cuz I don't want to embarrass anybody in public even though you're allowed to in a situation like this cuz this is distracting to everybody else but yesterday I shut up even though two hours after went with this guy he was supposed to come I didn't say anything I said tonight I'm going to have to say something because this cannot become a habit it becomes poison becomes a cancer to everybody else they come in they feel like they're the only ones they come into the room cookie the guy's cooking steak this what this 25 30 50 100 people also watching sh why you're the only one here what everybody else is here too 20 minutes entrance 20 minutes entrance just to enter the place 20 minutes red carpet takes less time president president of himself maybe but the point is you have to understand that this is a problem when you're not conscious of the world around you [Music]
