[Music] wonderful to be back in our Sunday sh in Sunny Isles Florida please Rai bring more and more people each time it's nice to see more people this week but next week we'll continue to have more people uh it's nice to see people face to face uh number one because uh it shows you who's listening number two also anytime you come to t you have the uh you have one part of the that you get is that you become part of the lecture meaning that uh you become a partner to anyone that's going to do chuva anyone that's going to do listen to this Shield today it's going to do Chu chuva and anything doesn't have to be chuva complete chuva maybe he already keeps tah maybe he already keeps uh shabat keeps he keeps this he keeps that maybe he keeps but maybe he's going to get some that's going to make him nicer to his wife maybe he's going to get some kuk is's gonna send his kids to Yesa maybe he's gonna get some to stop talking nonsense on Shabbat whatever he's gonna get on you come to you become a partner and it gives you a lot of in the last generation before Masia we need as many as possible this will be for for aiva my dear friend in Israel had a heart surgery uh this uh this morning he's still uh uh still out say thank you uh also give me the questions as they come in B anyone's that are real questions not the ones that are just insulting me okay if anybody okay sunny somebody volunteer to uh write the questions down or give her the questions um so uh he will have had a huge um heart surgery this morning that uh it's anyone that uh meets or knows anybody that is that has a huge surgery it's um it's a big M lesson it's a big M lesson that uh should tell you that uh it's time to do chuva because one day you feel healthy the next day you're in a hospital bed don't know and can't tell where you are so gives him father of 13 kids uh and it's a uh it's a heartbreaker to to see so many asot happening in uh recent weeks uh it's very sad whether it be the Pittsburgh situation that happened or the tragedy that happened in Israel with a family of eight got into a car accident and every everyone died the whole family I mean such things you you never hear about but uh this week every single day almost every single day is something we'll talk about it we'll talk about some of these things uh maybe maybe the Torah tells us why why are these things happening you know people got upset at me in the last couple of weeks because uh somehow from what what we said they somehow uh understood that I declared to be a prophet somehow I'm not a prophet I'm not the son of a prophet but I do know how to read that I know I know how to read and all we're doing is reading if you don't like the way the words come out of my mouth then you should just read it yourself that's it all I'm doing is saving you the time to read but if you want to read yourself you can read the same books they're available I give you the sources if I forget the source then you could ask me after the lection I'll give it to you but the key is is all I'm doing is reading it's not prophecy yes of course there there's help from hem to to do anything that we do and all of it comes out in a certain way that apparently is very good for the listeners to listen to but the point is is uh we're going to see what Hashem says about the end of days what does he say about what's happening in the world today if we could connect it to maybe hm doesn't give us a test we can't pass also we're gonna have a for leav Doris Leora ra Rael raisel David David M Ben raisel um Mercedes I'm hearing some of the same names no one's getting healthy or you guys just uh like to hear your names so all of them have I uh heard the by uh he did something last week uh in the beginning of the sh I don't think the really gets it I don't think you know to all of you guys coming to the sh watching it online um donating for whoever donates whoever thinks about donating whoever just thought he donated but didn't donate whatever it is call to everybody but I honestly don't think people understand what kind of you have to make in order to do this this is not to get a standing ovation or clap or anything but only I honestly I didn't know myself when I first started watching lectures it just seems like fun you talk people listen to you you yell people listen to you you make a joke people laugh even if it's not funny but people simply don't understand what kind of it takes to do this until you do it and when I heard ra say that would all of the all of the problems that are happening to lately death disease all types of problems we're getting all types of punishments all types of is not roses this is not gifts it's punishments yes of course even the punish ments have a gift in them but the point is that if you had to pick no one would pick to have cancer no one would pick to have their Uncle die so let's not pretend that it's gifts it's punishments you see so many punishments it makes you want to cry go into a room start crying he says and not leave and I related to it probably more than anything I've ever related to in my life and the reason is it's not that the punishments and the suffering is new as I said in a recent lecture to all of these converts that want to be converts that complain Non-Stop about am or complain nonstop about the process of conversion being difficult if you want to be part of am you have to get used to suffering this is is what we do best we're experts at suffering we're experts at a lot of other things but no one can compete with us as far as suffering is concerned we are the expert sufferers we start suffering we don't finish from the beginning to now there hasn't been a moment of Peace but there are certain times that there's more than others so suffering is not new it's not new to us we all know suffering everyone knows somebody that has a disease everyone knows somebody that went off the everyone knows somebody that something happened to them everybody knows it so what makes this more sad and if it wasn't for the Tora and's Miracles M hopeless more than ever is that unlike any other time in history we almost have no leaders to direct us in the right direction and tell us what to do in the time of MIT even before mosenu they had am they Haden they had the leim time of mosenu of course they had mosenu that the 70 elders Yeshua we had DAV sha we had the sages all these Giants even if you look at just in the past generation you had one giant after another with it be the all of these Giants we had somebody to rely on in page 49a says that before the mashia comes we're not going to have anyone to rely on that's how we know mashiah hasn't come yet because we still have a few we still have a few big rabbis like r mazuz ra kki ra stach there's a few and obviously others that are big rabbis that are taking the position of leadership some more than others but still there is a lot of confusion even if you have the biggest Rabbi in the world whoever you do decide it is even when we had the biggest rabbis from a few years ago to 20 years ago we still had no Unity still had a constant constant battles your Yesa against my Yesa my Yesa against your Yesa my against your your way against my way there's constant of what's the emit and with all of this confusion and what's going on in the World it makes you very sad because you see people that call themselves FR you see people that call themselves religious walking around more confused than the secular people walking around like a chicken without a head not knowing really what's imit they start telling you yeah but the the rambam said it where I don't know but somebody told me that the rambam said something do you know how to spell rambam do you know how many books rambam wrote maybe do you know if he wrote a book or maybe he just wrote stories what did the r other than saying somebody said rambam do you know anything else the answer more often than that is no but they're religious they keep shabas but my rebi said it my rebi said such and such okay did your rebi provide you a source no but I trust my rebi does your rebi is your rebi human yes he's human oh so he's just like mosu human then okay does he make mistakes sometimes maybe I don't know I never checked oh that's the first mistake he never checked as much as a person can learn T he's still human and he could make mistakes for a person to make a mistake makes them human it's normal but for a bunch of rabbis to make a mistake it's a a disaster when a massive amount of rabbis one after another decide to use the most recent tragedy in America for American Judaism and in general as a 15 minutes of fame opportunity to make video clips for for the first time or just another one to start a YouTube channel or a uh or a security campaign to increase their security so they could get another few hundred th000 in donations for an electric fence or for bodyguards or for some other type of uh nonsense that they think is going to protect them in the world it's sad it's a sad thing it's a sad day and the reason why it's sad is because number one it's not really giving anybody any you're telling people listen let's get together give me some of your money sha give me some of your money give me some of your money everybody give me some of your money we put an electric fence not on around the building around ourselves we're going to walk around like Robocop and that's going to protect us against asav what kind of is this you honestly think that the electric fence or the guards or the body guards or carrying a gun or carrying a machete or being the murderer himself anything is going to protect you this is not this not what is this it's telling me after you're telling me something I already knew before I went to mne without even being religious they teach you in a schoolyard if you don't protect yourself you to get your uh kicked you have to protect yourself that's what they tell you in the schoolyard you don't need a RAB to tell you put an electric fence but is the're today get an electric fence get bodyguards get the cops pay them $5,000 a week to stand outside the besset the Bessa starts to look like the the uh the ashit the Jews are inside the cops are outside of course the cops mean well they're just doing their jobs that they want to do it but it shows that us we we ourselves are mistaken we thinking that the Cup's going to protect us we're thinking that the gun is going to protect us and then someone Smart's going to tell you no but you're supposed to have effort supposed to have effort you know you can't just roam around and think that that every nothing is going to happen you're in Sak what Sak what in Saudi Arabia Kamas where where where where isas next door to you what what's Sak what Sak psychopath kills people every day it happened to be Jews last week what Sak Sak is that we haven't done Chua that's the s s is that it's getting closer and closer to home because the same one that pressed the trigger for one to kill another P kill press the trigger for one go to kill a bunch of Jews same one but you think that the electric fence is going to protect you or maybe saying No this is a good thing the GED that's going to protect you like the Holocaust you're comparing a of to the Holocaust everyone knows that not everybody was exactly tadik during the Holocaust we've talked about this before wrote about it extensively throughout his life spoke about it EXT Ely throughout his life he said I live through it anyone that tells you that everybody was kosim during the Holocaust is lying to you there's many Heretics there many shabat there many people that were intermarried many people that that converted to Christianity it's no light it's no rumor it's no nothing it's real it happened but still there is some that they have regardless of where they were huge amount of which will go over whyde thank you to compare them to the Beet of homosexuals to the B that's going to honor that to AET that it's part of the pillars of the anti movement to compare the Holocaust to this but we'll so we'll see why now so far I've given you a little bit of my frustrations couple of minutes of my opinion for the two cents that it's worth but the reality is the most important thing that have that that we have as Jews is Al everyone can say what they want one guy can say to you the other one says the other one can say this one this one can say that one everyone can say whatever they want but there's Al means we got a from I can't change it you can't change it no one can change it it's now the rambam that everyone seems to be misqu quoting is in chapter five number four now gladin made a nice lecture about the of dying Al K and it's a very very interesting short only 30 40 minutes maybe and uh he said the the most amazing thing because a lot of it I knew some parts I didn't know which was but the most profound thing that he said was in the beginning the first few minutes it's on Torah anytime what did he say he said everybody keeps quoting that these people from Pittsburgh that got murdered in Cold Blood by this rash they died Al K according to who according to the ramb that's what Rabbi say one Rabbi after another you read you watch the recordings each Rabbi becomes a superhero of am is says oh they allim they all G they all there's no one like them one after another each one of them wants you to you know make you one of vomit a little bit more than the other but until you run out of vomit and then you want to eat just so you can have something to vomit all of a sudden five minutes ago you were all praying for them to die in your amid prayer but now they to you every single Jew that PR prays for such people to die or to do where in three times a day where to the Heretics and the informers let there be no hope and all of the evildoers in an instant should perish the says who's these Z who's these evildoers the shabat the homosexual the guy that goes with a Goya the guy that Wast seed on purpose all of those people mid mid means purposeful sin what' you pray for every Jew prays it even the guys but that's he prays it also when you say no you know is such and such daughter married a uh conservative oh everybody says no not on us not on us why because you know it's but all of a sudden we turn him into so the r says I call the he doesn't mention the name I have a feeling I know who it is doesn't make a difference who it is he says I called a meaning a someone that's respectable I'm sure he's very he is a and I asked him I saw in your sh that uh you said that the rambam says that these people that died because they're Jews they died Al Kem where's this rambam he asks them he says it's un and the r says to him to be honest with you there is no such R there's no such rambam but everybody thinks there's such a rambam so I said there's a rambam because it's AAS now because everybody says it everyone says everyone everyone believes that there's such a rambam it's like a Mas it's like we created a rambam he says this on video that to me was the most extraordinary thing I've heard I may be in my life watch it he didn't ask I don't even know him I don't even know him I wish I did I want to kiss him right now what a you could start creating Al in the name of the r According to some rabbis because you want to please the crowd what rambam is everyone using bit the rambam they're using or better yet misusing is the chapter 5 number four what does it say me if anyone about whom it said make a sin transgress but don't sacrifice your life but he sacrifices his life anyway and doesn't transgress meaning someone tells him listen make a sin but this is not the type of sin that you need to sacrifice your life for but he says no no I'm going to die for this sin no one told you to die for this sin like for example somebody tells you why don't you uh eat non kosher you don't have to die for that you could eat the N koser somebody tells you drive on or I'll kill you drive a Shabbat Eat N Kos I'll kill you drive on Shabbat or I'll kill you no one says to doesn't say kill yourself to says make the sin but if the person wants to be a superhero he says no no I'm gonna die anyway no I'm not going to eat non kosher I'm gonna be zealous like P I'm gonna beu you're you're drunk why no one told you to die for for non kosher no one told you to die for for Shabbat a person like this is a able for his life meaning he's considered in sh as if he committed suicide it's considered a murderer but on a sin that's on a sin that says sacrifice your life and don't make a sin if he sacrifices his life and doesn't make a sin he has died on K we have three three specific conditions where a Jew must die and not sin one if someone tells you go to worship JC peny or Buddha or some cow or some other Idol go worship a false god or I'll kill you as a Jew you must die you're not allowed to Bow you're not allowed to even pretend like you're bowing you must die second thing is someone tells you kill somebody or kill you kill your friend kill your mom kill your brother kill your sister kill some stranger or kill you you must die why says your blood is not more valuable than anybody else's even though you're funny and smart and good-looking and generous and all the good things in life your blood is still the same you're not allowed to kill anybody to save your own life unless they're coming to kill you then you have to kill them first but if somebody says kill somebody else or will kill you according to you have to sacrifice your life the third sin is a sex crime someone tells you touch this woman that's uh not your wife or better yet touch your wife when she's n or better yet waste seed by yourself nobody else waste seed by yourself or will kill you Tora says You must die it's better that you die than make any one of those sins these are the three conditions now if somebody says those horrible conditions to you and you die you have officially died on K you are at a level of death like RAB AA and his colleagues you're the best of the best why why are you the best of the best why you so holy why is the there's a specific Al written for such a person because that person died not necessarily because he agreed or disagreed with this other person's blood being as valuable less valuable more valuable than his not necessarily because he agreed or disagreed that the or it's good or it's bad no no no it's not because of that you died protecting AEM you died honoring aem's name where hasem said these three sins these three things under no condition are you ever allowed to worship an idol under no condition are you ever allowed to murder somebody under no condition are you ever allowed to waste seed even if every psychiatrist in the world tells you it's healthy it's better that you jump off of the varano bridge head first then waste seed one time and if you did it and you Sanctified aem's name no one's better than you you are amazing you're great I wish I was like you now the rambam continues and he says if he does so in the presence of 10 Jews then he Sanctified AEM name in public like the Prophet Daniel Kan M and RAB AKA and his colleagues meaning there was a book called The Book of Daniel about the Prophet Daniel that has prophecy about the end of times got this prophecy he didn't know how to interpret it so the holy KES kashim Prophet Daniel interpreted the dream for him and told him that no one is going to be as strong as you until mashia comes when it talks about the possibilities of who could be mashia it says if it was in the time of Daniel Daniel will be mashia meaning Daniel was such a holy KES kesim that if hasem decided I'm going to bring mashia now it wouldn't be like oh maybe I should check you know what let me interview a few people there's a few choices no there it's clear Daniel is the prophet someone that dies on Kem in front of people someone that protects the Torah and dies for the sake of protecting the Torah is in the same level as the Prophet Daniel that a book in a tanak is written about him a book in a tanak is written about the Prophet Daniel this is wow doesn't get better than this the r continues these are those slain by the wicked Kingdom above whom there is no higher level there's no one higher than these not necessarily just because of what they did during their life but what they did at the time where everyone else breaks everyone talks a big game I can do this I will do this I love Hashem I do this I study this everyone talks a big game but when push comes to shove Everything Changes Everything Changes I always told people if you ever want to get to know people in this world at least put some money in front of them and then you'll see them mutate and who into who they really are the reason why is because money unfortunately is the test most people fail at miserably different sums for different people there's a different perspective what a lot of money means to different people but nonetheless money is the constant test people fail at families break divorces happen relationships destroyed Partnerships companies you constantly see how money that everyone wants destroys one building after another when push comes to shove a lot of people fail this test almost everybody in this generation the ram continues and he says concerning them the book of Psalms David chter 44: 23 says for your sake meaning for hashem's sake we have been slain all day we are viewed as sheep for the slaughter and then Psalm 50 verse 5 says gather unto me my Pious ones meaning hasem is saying gather unto me all my sikim those who have made a covenant with me by Slaughter meaning that sikim when they die when they make the that they're going to die on K because when you die in Kem it's not just some some Rabbi decides oh yeah he died yeah he's died on Kem that's not how it works oh yeah he died how did he die oh some some psychopath ran him over and he said I hate Jews okay yeah that's K that's K that's not how it's decided that's not how it's decided there's a blessing you have to make before you die in Kem there's a blessing you have to make even for that for dying you have to make a blessing said no no he he died the the the the local rabi over here said he died on km so it's K right they're put him G because I said so right that's not how it works you have to have a you have to have a thought process I am now dying for the sake of honoring the Torah I am now dying for the sake of honoring hem meaning you're not contemplating oh by the way the m is about to my head off nothing think about that oh My Wife and Kids poor them what are they going to do oh hopefully the insurance policy pays no no you're not you're not you're not thinking about that what are you thinking about I'm going to go die for the sake of honoring hasem in the middle of dying you have to be a seph t your whole life to even imagine such a thing they're going to say the conservatives and the reforms had this thought somehow hem says to those people that die in Kem gather unto me my my Pious ones those who have made a covenant with me by Slaughter meaning those that made a breit no less than no less than they're willing to die says that when abrah ainu was about to slaughter and hasem said no no stop said his name twice why twice why twice say because the first time he said AB don't touch him says no a little bit we're already over here I don't want a I made a blessing I'm gonna Slaughter him now I don't Slaughter him it's misuse your name let me cut a little bit and is like no no AB go ab ab no no so so we don't waste don't waste aem's name's name in vain ABA new cut a little bit and says he did cut Z says he did cut and his left his body and was replaced with a new but the point is someone that die sanctifying hashem's Name by protecting his Torah is a net level and the rambam continues when anyone about whom it said sacrifice your life and do not transgress if he transgresses instead of sacrificing ing his life he has now desecrated hashem's name if he does so in the presence of 10 Jews he desecrates hashem's name in public and nullifies the Fulfillment of a positive commandment of sanctifying hashem's name and violates a negative commandment against the desecration of hashem's name the point is continues but the point is that this first paragraph or two is the source of where everyone gets the definition of dying Al and no point does the rambam say if you die because you're a Jew you officially are likea at no point anyone here miss here anything I said by the way I brought the book anyone that wants to review it it's here it's here it's in English and Hebrew if you want to get it through in Russian in in in in in yish there's a lot in the books today we get in any language you want you get an internet for free anything you want chapter 5 number four that is the source everyone keeps misusing at no point that the rambam say that if you die because you're a Jew you died in K he didn't say that what he say you died sanctifying hashem's name you became it because you did something by following the Torah you honored you protected the Torah by letting yourself die for the sake of not violating the Torah not violating the Torah for the sake of saving your life now so what happens to someone that dies because they're a Jew so is as follows let's break this down in order there are three possibilities here first possibility someone di someone get killed because they're a Jew simply whether they keep mitv or not is irrelevant someone died because they're a Jew second someone that died he got killed because he was protecting other Jews Like An IDF Soldier or somebody else that was protecting other Jews that's another possibility and the third one is someone that was killed because he was protecting the toah so the rambam here agrees with the following someone that died that was killed protecting the Torah we already have the answer that's Kem there's no one greater than him he's the best he's with Prophet Daniel someone that was killed protecting am is 10 B gives a story of papus andan two Jews papus and elanus were two holy Jews that lived during a time where there was a decree what was the decree a Roman Leader's daughter was murdered and of course anytime something bad happens you have to blame the Jews who else is there to blame there's only seven billion people in the world somebody slips on a banana it must be the jews' fault a go president that you don't like was elected it must be the Jews fault the stock market went down it must be the Jew's fault so this is not new nothing new Under the Sun the Caesar's daughter died they have to blame the Jews but they don't know who so they simply made a rule they said listen unless the murderers among you comes and admits that you killed my daughter I'm killing all of you meaning all of that's over there everyone's going to die none of us killed him no one killed the daughter so what are you going to just admit about something you didn't do exactly that's exactly what papus and ianus did they said listen our lives are our lives we like our lives we have families we have kids we have this we have that but our lives are not worth more than millions of people that are they're not worth more why because we're only two people if we don't sacrifice our life regardless of whether we murdered or didn't murder we didn't do anything we're Innocent but if we don't sacrifice our life then everyone's going to die including us anyway might as well be the first to go and sacrifice our life why no one else stepped up Mish says a place there's no leader you be the leader says to his son my son I see that there's things in the heaven beyond our understanding it's different judgments in heaven good bad this that says that hasem spends a part of the day judging the world several hours a day judging the world several hours a day giving gifts to the world several hours a day studying tah several hours a day all types of things says to his sonar Shimon says to if there are a thousand people that are on their way up we are among them if there are 10 we are among them if there are two in the entire world we are them everyone knows who he is even theim he says if there are a thousand people on their way up we are among them if there's 10 we're still among them if there's two we are them so why you're telling me that is aom he's a he thinks he's the best no what does the explain to us here says to his son my son hasem likes people that're on their way up constantly toiling and toiling and toiling to be better to work on themselves if there are thousand in the world let's be among them even if there are 10 and everybody else is K doesn't make a difference let's be among them in fact even if there's no one let's be them let's be the only ones telling the truth what everyone else does is irrelevant let's be them let's be the leaders so now papus and elanus say let's be them let's go to the Roman Caesar and tell him we are them we are the murderers and that's exactly what they did and they were killed are they killed on Kem says no these KES kashim just protected all of is over there they're not called they they they are K they K it's not K they kept Shabbat they kept T they kept they didn't perform the crime they said they did why to protect a bunch of people what does the call [Music] them e [Music] they died protect the kingship but not they didn't sanctify aem's name it's not at the same level it's great it's amazing but it's not K meaning to on hey you're something special you're you pray you pray every day oh you know people go to the grave sites they go to this they pray they pray all the grave sites somebody dies you have to go to grave site stop praying please please help me that's what you have to do somebody die to condu you have to go to that grave said please hasem he has so many merits he Kem please help me because of his merits not you're not praying to the guy or to the woman you're praying to Hashem he has merits I have nothing he has merits please help me because of his merits because you like you're not going to so easily get to the level of Kem but if you die protecting the Jews Like An IDF Soldier or papus andan the says as a source in the Tor says now what about someone that was killed simply because they were Jew simply because they were a Jew hey how are you are you Jewish yeah kills him no what is that what do you get for that this is called Kap that's it but it's a lot but it's called kapar what's kapar kapar means this is going to erase part of their sins because they died in a strange way they didn't die out of natural death they died in a strange way which by the way it seems like there's more and more people dying in strange ways these days but that's just a sight comment sight observation what's the source for this the source is the not the says when a person dies simply because he's a Jew his death is a kapar meaning this death will atone for part of his sins whether he was righteous or Wicked is not necessarily part of the consideration here either way his death will atone for part of his sins if he has a lot of sins it won't atone for all of them if he has a few sins then he'll atone for whatever he has if he lived his life as an enemy of Hashem his death is not exactly going to atone for all of his sins so this is the you want to decide your based on some speech that somebody else gave off the top of their head with no actual be my guest but that's the actual now we see that many are going against many don't like this many don't like this Al why they don't like this Al because it means that they know somebody that died that they told the family or they told themselves that they died on Kem and he didn't really their cousin that was a shabat that died they made themselves their conscience feel better by saying to themselves yeah he's in ganeden why because some Arab killed him did he kill him because he was protecting a seph t did he kill him because he was didn't want to violate chabbat what did he kill him for no he killed him simply because he was a Jew and the Arab is a psychopath he likes to kill people is likes to kill people I'm sorry he's not in the same level as but this m this this this difference of opinion it shouldn't make us enemies it shouldn't get to a point where some wine Burger guy from Cleveland decides to call every single Rabbi which unfortunately is only a handful if not less that actually tells the truth he decides to called him the sitra meaning the Satan himself anyone that disagrees with his madeup is not just it's not just as he's the and everyone is publicizing his 12 minutes of disgusting words as if it's like a look it's weine burger weine burger he's giving he's telling he's saying that anyone that says otherwise is and they they spread in Yesa world and the media and everywhere else like it's a nice T you call Jews that to get people to do and people are saying oh wow you should listen to Torah disagree agree why you making it personal why you making it personal why do they make it personal I'll tell you why why do the all the people that fight as if they're fighting for the Kim the homosexuals and the other enemies of Hashem why are they why are they why are they taking it so personal because rabai means a lot of check means money you make a YouTube video telling everybody you're kados where do I make the check payable to you're a good you're the kind of Rabbi I want and they defend it because unfortunately it's a prophecy in the Torah where is it I'll show it to youat page 138 138b says says heaven forbid that the Torah will be forgotten from Israel as it stated in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 31: 21 for it shall not be forgotten from the mouth of the nation's Offspring meaning that hem promised he's not going to allow the Torah to be forgotten he not going to allow the Tor because some people thought oh wait there's a prophecy in the Book of Amos that before the uh mashia comes there's going to be forgetfulness maybe we're going to forget the Tor no we're not going to forget the Tor what are you talking about what's the com what what does it really mean what is the prophet really saying what's the prophet Amos in chapter 8:12 saying actuallyit he says I can tell you what it says they shall W to seek the word of hasem but shall not find it the PUK says that the people are going to look for Clear ala and clear teachings in any one place but they're not going to be able to find it and Rashi says what does it mean says at the end of times the there's not going to be a consensus of opinion about the reasons of many alic rulings among the Torah sages resulting in constant M clear Al refers to reasoning that mish's rulings clear teachings says there's going to be a lot of opinions this one's going to say this one's say this one's going to say this one's going to say like it's not going to be no I'm not sure yeah you have something you know in the old days if you read any book The Pim usually they're not only going to tell you their opinion they're going to tell you other people's opinion other's opinion and usually what are they going to say say listen my opinion is XYZ but some say ABC and they're either going to tell you and you you can you have something to rely on if you want to rely on ABC you have something to rely on meaning I don't necessarily disagree to the point where it's wrong I just arrived at a different truth I ared at a different truth like for example you go y many times he says there's a different opinion and you have something to rely on in this different opinion on the other hand some actually say there's a different opinion but don't rely on it it's wrong in his opinion it's wrong point being is is that in many of theim you'll see that didn't necessarily just discount somebody else's opinion no no he's wrong because not the same opinion as mine those between them yeah you a question something well get so now [Music] the say that at the end of times there's going to be a lot of a lot of now the question is why is this m going to happen the continues says Yi Elisha says if you see a generation among which there are many problems there many troubles in them I.E today go out and examine the Deeds of the judges of am is in that generation for all misfortune that comes to the world only comes on the account of the judges of as it is written here now oh heads of House of yov and officers of of House of Israel meaning that the prophet mikah in chapter 3 verse 9 to 11 says if you see that the specific generation we not just seeing the typical things that happen in the world once in a while there's an accident once in a while there's a debate once in a while there's something this literally you see every day accident on Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Massacre every day there's worse news than the day before he says there's a problem with the system in shim there's something going on there it's not just happening anyone said it's just happening you're not looking at the signs clearly there's something wrong what's wrong something is wrong with leadership it's not just talking about oh no this Rabbi said something and some people didn't like it so so therefore hashem's going to punish the whole world no he's saying there's a problem with leadership it's a mistake which kind of leadership which kind of leadership the top the top is a mistake there's a consensus among the top that's a mistake meaning every all the top there's disagreement or agreement about a mistake there's a mistake there's something going on something is fishy as it continues this it says and the Holy One blessed is he will not rest his divine presence on until the corrupt judges and officers cease from Israel as it is written I will turn my hand against you I will clean away your draws as with soap and I will remove all your tin prophet Isaiah says that in order for silver when silver is being uh purified tin is removed from it so the prophet Isaiah gives a prophecy that at the end of times Hashem is not going to send the mashia until the wickedness among the top is going to cease is either going to be agreement or it's not going to exist anymore we're hoping for the agreement but thear continues and it says why why does this happen what does this where does this all stem from Papa papa says if the Arrogant disappear the am which is the Heretics that lead people to do idolatry will disappear but if the corrupt judges disappear then the Gaz Gaz will disappear Gaz were also different uh types of hostile hostile G hostile officials soar finalizes the whole thing and he says what is meant by all of this what's what's meant by all of this he says that your hands are I with blood and your fingers with sin what hands are soled with blood he says these corrupt judges your the decisions that these corrupt judges lead to end up leading to murder of some kind sometimes it leads to murder that's obvious because of bad things but sometimes it leads to murder because of bad decisions that we make because of money and other biases for example I told you guys a story some months ago about a young man that I met that uh thought he was religious because he goes to besset a couple of times a year but his father is really religious because he goes to besset every week and when I asked him do you keep Shabbat and he said no and I asked him does your father keep Shabbat he goes yeah but he only drives he only drives on Shabbat said well if he drives on Shabbat he violates shabat he's not religious so his answer was what are you talking about do you know how much money he donates to the bitet every year on it's him and Mr such and such they compete for the biggest uh donation every year I said that doesn't make him religious he says yeah but he's the pillar of the community I said it doesn't make him religious pillar no pillar don't money doesn't make you religious he says you don't understand the rabbi even made an exception what exception did he make he converted my mom and married to my dad I said why is this an exception if your mom wanted to convert to Judy it was a good thing goes no he converted her said what's the problem he goes no somebody said he's not allowed to do it why because he's a Cohen now for anyone who doesn't understand thean I just explained to you a Cohen is not allowed to marry a convert ever he could donate a trillion billion dollars every day for every Isa for the rest of the world you can know the entire Shas by heart back and forth still not allowed to marry a convert that's the rule so when a Rabbi says no he's so he's so important to this K that not only I'm not going to tell him anything about driving on Shabbat but I'm going to convert his wife and marry him to her and then make pretend like they're actually Jewish and the kid now he went to IDF he served in an Israeli Army and he thinks he's Jewish now you have to understand there are Jews in the world today that are walking around they're looking for a Jewish princess but they're not really Jewish that's the who's making this happen the who's making this happen no I don't who's making this happen that's that's that's the blood that's the blood we're talking it doesn't have to be M blood in the streets murder rape stuff like that doesn't have to be that is that you have Jews in is right now that are not Jews you have non-jews that are Jews no one knows anything you go to a besset sometimes the guy looks more Jewish than everybody else he's in the process of conversion he hasn't converted yet why because his wife is not ready because she's still busy worshiping an idol in Christianity but he likes he likes the ti he likes the way it looks he likes the Hat he likes black and white doesn't have to change the outfit too much have to think about it to in the morning that's the this is the this is what we have today there's so much there's so much debate we're so busy trying to comfort our own egos trying to say no I'm smart no he's smart no he's this no he's that look at my bigness look at my bigness everyone is showing up their guns we forget about the nation the nation of confused people no one knows who's Jewish I'm not even talking about no one knows no one knows no no one knows who's Jewish why because they go and said no no these guys the the homosexuals that gave a Brit Pittsburgh no they Kim they're likea we're going to predict them we're going to protect these people that declared war on hem every day of their life by being members of a congregation that effectively tried to disallow in America they had politicians they were paying them to go and make not allow illegal in America but we're going to call them K like if you're not passionate about things like this then you're dead if you're not if if this doesn't make your brain want to like leave the head and just like go on vacation this is what's happening there are times you have to be lenient someone comes to you he just started doing chuva he doesn't know right or left he's confused you don't tell him everything right away there's certain things you don't have to huh wrong with there nothing I see it it's perfect to me so someone has a uh trouble in the beginning you have to tell them the truth but you can't hit them over the head as if they just killed somebody meaning somebody tells you listen I keep Shabbat but I'm still watching TV I leave the TV on I don't drive I don't play with my phone I don't cook I don't clean you know I don't do things that are outright violations but I can't I'm bored I'm single I'm bored I'm a live living in the middle of Montana so I have to keep the TV on a guy like this you don't hit him on the head why he just started technically he's keeping the main part he's just not it's not on Shabbat he's violating on Shabbat he just started tell it's a good start don't tell him it's allowed it's not allowed but you can tell him it's a good start someone tells you listen I'm keeping Shabbat I'm keeping I'm keeping a kosher but uh I'm still going out with my non-jewish girlfriend you have to tell him the truth you have to tell him every single time you touch her it's a s what you do is your business but you have to tell him the truth you have to tell him that what he's doing to himself and what she's doing to herself by being with him to S A that puts them in a lot of problems a Jew that touches a non-jew she's going to be glued to him in like a dog creates a lot of problems for himself money loss all types of K every time he's with her it's wasting seed which the calls the biggest sin in Judaism it's a it's a it's a it's a bank clod of problems but you know the guy's not leaving her he's not leaving her he's not leaving he loves her he's been with her for uh five years so what do you do tell him listen I know you're not going to leave her there's but then there's also reality meaning you're not allowed to be with her under any condition if every time you touch her finger it's from the touch her finger it's from the at time of the you have a serious problem sees you in the streets if R sees you in the streets you have a serious problem he's catching you what he's gonna do to you but I know you're not going to leave it is not here to your luck he's not here he's not going to catch you so what do we do at the very least start thinking about the future you her okay be a civilized human being decide if you're going to stay together or not if you're going to stay stay together you have to decide who I'm going to stay together with or not meaning do you wantan you want to have Jewish kids or you want to have a bunch of asav running in the street you want to have Jewish kids every Jew wants to usually have Jewish kids okay so why don't you teach her some to you watch your t let her watch your with you give us some CDs give us some this see if she's 100% Idol worshipper or she has some interest now we're not trying to promote go convert people in the middle of the streets but the reality is if you tell the guy listen if you don't uh if you don't leave or don't come to sh anymore you're not going to do anything you're not going to do anything the guy's not going to come to sh again but the same token you're not changing the law you're not changing the law you're telling them not allowed not allowed but if she's interested in converting I'm interested in helping so thear says continues in the same it says there are times that you're supposed to teach leniency teach leniency to the people but you cannot teach leniency to everyone why if you teach leniency to the wrong people they commiss translate it and start violating the Torah because of it they could think that you can make leniencies everywhere so when you teach a leniency AA leniency is AA if you teach him a leniency then it has to be somebody that understands why and who and what why you're doing it because if you teach it to a he'll know that over here it's allowed to be lenient over here it's allowed to be stringent but if you teach the massive public the leniency you can make all of them very lenient for example like some of these speakers have done recently where they said listen we don't really know where it says in a rambam that anyone that died as a Jew is considered K but since people think it let's just say it this is not a leniency this is shom this is not aora from sh this is is like a uh some some that people created it's not allowed why so now if a person says listen it's not really in the ramban but everybody believes it so what's going to happen now his student is going to say listen Rabbi I heard the rambam said you let to drive a car on Shabbat as long as it's a Porsche as long it's a 100,000 mil or more you're allowed to drive no where is it I no one really knows where it is but a lot of people believe it cuz see 80% of is driving on Shabbat of course they believe it it's this is destruction this is destruction of the you see so you can't just start throwing things out of thin air just to make people happy you have to be careful what you say you have to be careful what you say but you have to defend the tah you have to defend it even though it's not going to make you popular even though people going to call you a lot of names and write you letters and you're not going to be liked by many the reality is the only one you should be concerned about is whether you're liked by hasem if you're liked by Hashem you're a winner you're not liked by hasem doesn't make a difference who you're liked by you're not a winner now that I finished the intro what's your questions you have some questions from Facebook who's at the top of what leadership of what oh as far as top leadership in a good part meaning do I mentioned a few names of the gim ra kki ra stach ra mazuz these are theim or at least a few of them there's obviously others I'm not mentioning but there are others as far as a top corrup corupt that doesn't make a difference doesn't make a difference it's not for me to State who they are the reality is that it's uh usually going to be the biggest surprise where do we see this in the Torah there was one time a na'vi a prophet that was so holy All The KES that hasm spoke to him hasem spoke to this Navi not only he spoke to him he made him the richest man of the land meaning he had had but yet every year we read about him and we read about how the ground swallowed him and he's still in Gom until this day and his name was kak kak was K was a sadik says that he meant everything he did sh he meant well so how come hasem sent him to G how come hasem punished is such a severe punishment because he was a little bit biased his opinion wasn't 100% for Torah it was a little bit for the ego it was a little bit I'm the best it was a little bit I want to win not I want hem to win not I want the truth meaning that a person can have all the Torah in the world could be a hug could be everything great but the minute he gets his eyes off focus and it's a little bit becomes personal it becomes personal he starts calling people names not because they're Liars or this because they offended him they offended him he's worried about being people offending him then he's n then this is not so as far as who's falling for this trap of the who am I to know I'm not a prophet the son of a prophet but unfortunately you've seen a lot of people make lectures in the last week that I'm not I'm going to call them all with the exception of that one that I mentioned earlier but you can't see who's making a mistake you can't see who's making a mistake simply by the fact that they're using a non-existent someone creates an and calls it that's a mistake hopefully they do CH hopefully I do ch too hopefully we all do Chua they have to do Chua for that we have to do Chua for plenty of other things yes if somebody dies on Kem meaning Oh you mean go through uh Gom and things like that oh yeah yeah yes yes yes you have to make a blessing when you die K you have to have the intention in mind right I'm going to give you two things I'm going to give you two things both should shock you one I'm going to give you a little bit of a fact about these people in Pittsburgh of why I have no fear at all I fear AEM all day and all night I think if I didn't have fear I wouldn't have anything else but I have no fear talking about this whole situation as you've seen I've talked about at least five times in the last week because I have to rely on but they help me hasem helps me by providing me more and more ammunition now if these people were Kim these people were holy like people make them out to be all of a sudden as if it wasn't a what they were doing in that as if they didn't all violate Shabbat as if they didn't all go belong to a conservative sh that says that homosexuality in inter marriage is very much okay as if it all didn't exist no Jew that has a little 1% of Torah knowledge will ever say that having a cross a Christian cross on Your Grave is a good thing no one look at their graves look at the memorials in Pittsburgh right now they all have a mendavid and a cross on it they all have mid and the cross you can look at pictures on the internet don't trust your own every single one of them no exception have a cross a Christian cross that symbolizes the most disgusting a in human history the biggest enemy of am is in history they destroyed more Jews in history than any other nation in the world the cross that has murdered millions and millions of Jews is on their grave site and we as Jews are mistaken call them kadim so what's kados about a cross if it's so kados why don't all these rabbis and people that say they're kadosh why they put a cross on their on their on their on their stuff too they're not why because they know it's G they know it's disgusting it's disgusting to hem it's disgusting to is this shows that these people lived in sin died in sin nothing nothing kadosh about it second thing is rabotai I'll give you an example of what does it mean to die on K Shalom I've told you guys some stories about him found out what was happening in Germany was happening in Lita was happening around the world with the the evil Nazis and even though he had the ability to escape he chose to come back and be with his students when the people told him that you know that the Germans are going to kill you he says I'm going back to my students meaning the death no death makes no difference where is my students that's where I'm going a lot of people talkman and the real gim of the world they don't talk much they do he went back and unfortunately they caught him and all of his students when they put him in the camps and there were at a time where they all knew they're all going to die it wasn't a question of if it was a question of minutes when spoke to all of hisim students he says listen very carefully it is obvious that a has chosen us to be the for it's no secret it is obvious that hasem has decided that we are going to be thean of we the b t that Sanctified his name our whole life are going to be theb now we all know we all learned of thean this in the middle they're about to kill you we all know the is if you have a bad thought in your mind when you're about to bring aan it's called a p what's P nban no goodban not accept it keep it for yourself make a stake out of it it's not koban so we must be happy right now and not have a single negative thought Shalom about right now we have to all be happy and celebrate that hem has given us the opportunity to Die Al Kem and they killed him that's K that is K that's you're comparing this to Pittsburgh you have to be blind deaf stupid and manipulative to be such a thing such a mind who are you comparing the two did any of them even know what p is what is they have crosses on their graves we cannot compare the two I'm sorry yes we feel bad people died we don't want anyone to die but to go start dropping name oh K Kem like it's a giving out kitkats and Twix bars for for for for the uh uh holiday of Halloween come on guys please please have a little bit of honor for the Tor tells his students don't have a bad thought even though the the evily the evil empire over is about to kill you don't have a bad thought in your head that's yes so he's saying a few things and I'll add something else he said that what happened and other places where people got murdered in Cold Blood it's not K and the the answer is you're right it's not it's not so easy to be it's not so easy which we learned very likely k for sure but to say that something is K it has to follow the not your own's opinion not such and such rabbis opinion means what is r say R says you have to be given the option either die or protect the Torah which one you choose to die or protect T you're great why because you now died protecting the Tor but if somebody kills a Jew because he's a Jew here it wasn't what the says the says they have to tell you either die or worship an idol either die or make a Sex crime either die or murder somebody that's the conditions if a person dies then he died in K if not it's not K it's it's a big they're definitely holy but it's not R now we're gonna ask a more difficult question Holocaust the biggest reason why people have a problem with this whole thing in Pittsburgh is because it distorts the argument about the Holocaust because everyone knows that a lot of people unfortunately during the Holocaust that got killed were not exactly tadim when they entered the camps many of them weren't keeping Shabbat many of them were intermarried many of them even converted to Catholicism but it's very common among all kot whether it be Safar askanazi or in between for people to say that six million Kim six billion people died on Al K six million did they died like and other things that are elevating their now there are opinions that disagree with it completely simply because if you didn't die defending the Tor you didn't exactly die on K you're not it's a for sure is it possibly it's a it's it's a furthest stretch but still even if you want to do a you want to give them the you want to give them the benefit that they did die in k comparing the Holocaust to 11 people in Pittsburgh is a distortion of facts and I'll explain to you why a person that was alive during the time of the Holocaust one day was doing fine one day could have possibly been Rich one day could have been in government could have had a company could have had a whole life ahead of him why kids even if he was intermarried even even if he hated Jews as himself a Jew before the Holocaust he was one thing he was one thing once he entered the camps in ashz and all of the other places of Gom in this world he was no longer the same person he became a Jew whether he liked it or not whether he liked it or not he became a Jew he now was forced to be in a camp and he was treated with torture and horrible things on a day-to-day basis starved and he was forced to think differently because it wasn't a one two three process for most people where they went in from their house they killed them and it was finished many of them they tortured and slaved and did a lot of unfortunately how many tests and horrible things to that meaning it wasn't a one two three thing like this experience that happened this horrible experience that happened in Pittsburgh it wasn't the same thing this was 5 seconds 1 minute five minutes 20 minutes this could have been years for people meaning that even if he came into the Holocaust as a k hater of hem by the time he finished his life he became the biggest B in the world why he saw God you saw God in the if you didn't see God you were blind if you didn't see God during the Holocaust you were blind simply blind it's unnatural what happened you're comparing somebody that started this way went through torture for years to somebody like this you cannot compare here you can say they went to an experience which you could say that over time maybe just maybe they could have arrived at the truth at some point because all of the things that were steering their opinion were no longer in existence the money that was blinding them was gone the the the Goya wife was gone the the the the all the fame and fortune was gone all the things that the was blinding them with were gone all of the reasons of why hasm made the Holocaust happen in the first place the inter marriage the assimilation the theat all of the all the sins we made all the we had was gone now why it's time of of De it's it's it's a punishment time there's no anymore in Holocaust it who else made it then people made a sin hasem made made the action bring any bad in the world Hashem brings everything in the world people bring hasem brings everything in the world you can it's just that so very hard to be no that's not what I said that's what when you not good you get Ked then he give to the people he say you know what I'm going to finish with my people over icy learning you know how to be Mercy on the people because they can't be perfect only can be okay so it doesn't that's not distorting anything yes or no because that's what the is is yes or no even you learn every day every day every day you can be perfect it's not about it's not about being perfect be it's not about being perfect don't everything no no no we're not talking about RAB AKA being perfect we're talking about RAB AKA died because he taught T is at a time where they said there's a law if you teach T we're going to kill you and he still went out there and taught tah he went out there in the public and didn't hide and he taught Torah and they arrested him they said you violated the law of the land we told you don't teach Torah and you went and you taught tah to people it's violating the law of the land we're going to kill you meaning that RAB AKA he didn't care about the law of the land he cared about Torah so they killed him because he was teaching Torah they killed him because he was honoring the Torah that's why he died on Kem same thing with his colleagues it doesn't make him a perfect human being he had ups he had Downs he had everything even yes he was he was waiting for that moment you do the same thing now us how to how to be how to and how to be almost perfect Al sometime it doesn't work against God no problem we're not saying that a person is evil just because because he's not perfect there's a difference there's a difference between intentional sin and sin that's just because we have a big yet when a person there's there's I tried to explain this last week and we'll go over again simply what the difference is someone that's religious but he has a yet for certain things that's T that's simply has an appetite for certain sins and hopefully over time he gets over his yet if he learns if he learns about he learns he has the hopefully over time he stops making those sins but the SCH says that there's no such thing as a that's a person that doesn't make sense everybody makes sense but the goal is that teach us all of us should do our best to become like abov doesn't mean that we're going to become yov doesn't even mean that yov were never made a sin it simply means we should all shoot to be the best and we'll be judged accordingly Hashem gives each one of us the opportunity to be andov your own version of andov meaning that if you go up to sh and you didn't become your best you can be they're going to sue you for it they're going to say listen I give you the potential to be the best you weren't you missed out an opportunity that's a problem that's a person that keeps me on the other hand and there's a person that's a secular person who simply doesn't know right or left and doesn't care doesn't care about being religious doesn't care about anything he cares about whatever makes sense in his life once in a while he comes to sh because there's a Mitzvah is AIP he shows up he doesn't know better this person is going to be suit for a different issue what is he going to be suit for in sham he's gonna be suit for for why didn't he look into it why didn't he find out if there's more to life than just working more to life than just uh meeting your desires but then there's a third person a person that knew but still went against it thisai is the class of where the conservative and the reform stand and the reason why is because a person cannot say that they go and they're members of organization that actively change and manipulate the Tor actively publicize that the Torah is not from sh actively do things that are against the Torah making women rabbis making go rabbis making dogs rabbis putting on them you cannot say you didn't know because even the go know that what you're doing is wrong that's a person that's doing things that's outright against the Torah on purpose simply because now he doesn't care he he wants to do it he believes that he is bigger than God that's a different lawsuit that's a completely different lawsuit that's that's a person that's making sins to make people to make hem angry so now you have now you have a situation that's a different lawsuit altogether it's a different lawsuit altogether the point being AB is that each one of us has to Aspire to become the best we can be that's where we're supposed to be if we waste the gifts that Hashem gave us hem will sue us for it if we use our full potential we could each become our own version of it but the reality is is that to think that it's okay to sin we should never think so it's never okay to sin it's never okay to sin it doesn't mean that you should beat yourself up forever because you sinned get up stop try again just like you do with everything else in the world you start a business it fails you're not going to go into your room and uh lock yourself in a closet what do you do start again even if you want to lock yourself in a closet your wife is not going to let you why cuz you need to feed the kids go start a new business go start again go get a new job again again again until you succeed okay greater in certain things not greater than other things there's no one greater than m in Prophecy in Prophecy bigger than in Prophecy not in Prophecy though didn't 127 she didn't he came and he you're asking me or you telling me ask I because because she asked because she put judgment in front of abrah ainu when abrah ainu had the issue withag kagar got GAA got ego because she got pregnant and all of a sudden she didn't treat saru like her leader her master she started saying listen I'm the pregnant one I'm going to bring a child I'm going to be the continuing uh of the generations of you're nothing and Sarah obviously didn't like it she started rebuking her and now when she saw that saw that abah was not backing her the way she thought he should back her and she got into a debate she got into debate with arah and she said between her and Abraham let hem be the judge between you and me meaning she brought Dean to herself hem says you're saying let ashem be the judge between you and me you're assuming that you're right without double checking the dean will come on har first and a de came to her first that's the answer that's what Rashi says it might be something else I heard it to yesterday that that was the answer that at the time when you ask has to um Place judgment there's no problem and he looks at the two sides on the subject that being judged right and he looked at the Judgment that's what she says you know and and and all the big ones they but it doesn't mean they have the Judgment of give you many time he give you an but he doesn't give you an he give you something he doesn't give you the other and the other one no there's we have it's only on about 318 there 318 between and that have t but as far as a as far as when it comes to all of the that we have anything that was that's that you can rely on now if you're asazi or you're Safari you have your own P if you rely on let's say as a Safari even if what you do is the opposite of what ashkanazi do you have something to rely on why because a left certain things left certain things to be both meaning both opinions are right both black and white are right there are certain things in Torah that are not so simple he says both white and black are right but the key the key is to toil to find out why is it right it's not not that just say oh white is right and that's it it's not black is right that's it no no no no no no why is it right why is it right how do you know why is it right because you have to know why it's wrong first so the key thear it doesn't thear doesn't teach you the teaches you how to think how to think like a Jew a Jew how does he how does he get to the answer he asks a lot of questions and after you give him the answer he ask you questions about the answer and more and more questions and get toil and toil and toil to get to the bottom line of why the is but the bottom line is to make sure to work as hard as possible to get to a reason why because even if your bottom line reason is wrong meaning at the bottom line you arrived at black but sham says no it's white it's white it's still not a sin it's not a sin why because you arrived at the conclusion the right way you followed all the rules you did everything you need to do you got to white but in sh it's it's black no problem this is all the M between for example the of Rashi and and there's a whole mid talks about how he wears says wears not rash they had a and brought down M brought down said between him andash andash says I'm right right says he's right M says rash is Right says no I'm sorry mhe I think you're wrong says I think you're wrong let's bring the let's bring the there was a bad call came from the say says meaning that there a but what do we do we follow what's rash what's rash even though there was a there was a a b and everything else we don't learn T that way we don't learn T from B we learn T from what the what are they write in a book what do they write in black and white how they arrived at the black and white whatever they said that's what we do that's what we do whether it's right or wrong it's not your problem anymore why because you're this is what it says black and white now when there something that's confusing because you're seeing a bunch of people that are supposed to know and they're misquoting the Torah is it okay to just say listen they misquoted the Torah so I'm I'm not a sinner anymore right wrong wrong why you're still obligated to find out why they're saying what they're saying meaning you can't just trust what I say you can't just trust what any Rabbi says you have to double check before you go and decide to take something on your life you have to double check why does it say this at ABC you have to double check especially the men the men have to double check why because if I start telling listen guys I found a nice K nice K from now on you're allowed to make barbecue on Shabbat but as long as it's steak only steak everything else not allowed to make you say oh Rabon said steak is allowed so I'm gonna do barbecue you start seeing a whole K of steak makers you can't you can't do that why you have to double check where did he get this where is he get this oh no but he has he's popular on YouTube popular on YouTube doesn't help in sh where where's the book that says you're allowed to make steak on Shabbat doesn't say it you have to double check the point is is that each person has no free rides each man has to learn to lie every day to get to the bottom line truth if you got if you tried and you worked hard to get to the bottom line answer and you searched and you searched and you searched and you got to the bottom line answer but you still made a mistake it's a complete completely different Dean to different judgment than somebody who simply didn't check why someone that got to a mistake because they simply didn't study in sham they consider it as if he made it on purpose this mistake why because you didn't learn on purpose you didn't make the mistake on purpose but you didn't learn on purpose and if you didn't learn on purpose then your mistake is considered as of as on purpose meaning that there's no free rids what happen if you learn purpose and you make if you learn and you got to the wrong it's it's sh it's not considered a and sometimes you can even considered as as a mitvah depending on who you have to rely on if you have something to rely on you have a to rely on you have say okay for example there's a there's a uh by Feinstein that it's you're allowed in America you're allowed to uh drink kosher milk even though it's from the G as long as it's kosher milk but if you go to some of thef they say it's not allowed it's not allowed if you want to rely on ra Moshe Feinstein you have something to rely on no problem you have no problem you have something to rely on but if you rely on everything and you really don't know why you're just drinking it just because you like it that's a little bit of a problem you have to know why you're doing what you're doing this is why Li is something you have to do every day you can't just assume things you have to learn every day but the point is is that there is something to rely on today T is very accessible it's very easy to learn T the all waiting for you over here to learn as much as you want on the internet for free the you can buy for 20 bucks five bucks $10 people give for free there's things for free on the on the on the phones on the computers there's a lot of so no one has an excuse and that's why sometimes I see people that are very frustrated they uh they they watch the lecture and one guy sent me a uh few messages and uh it was very frustrating he's like listen if you're saying all this stuff is not allowed not allowed not allowed this is not good this is scary you know who what makes you right and he starts you know insulting me like as if I I I created the Tah you know but maybe you make mistakes maybe you're right maybe ra mrai is not right maybe R Das not right he starts throwing names and start everybody throws everybody under the bus and he starts yeah but what do you think about this what do you think about this all these different I didn't answer him but you let him talk and he continues talking and talking and talking and talking and in the end after EMA I texting me maybe I don't know 50 texts eventually he ran out of wind and he said listen in reality I know you're right it's just scary I said it's much easier to do chuva and stop sinning than sending me 50 texts trying to blame me for your sins it's not what I I BR your sources what do you want for my life but that's the thing we have t we have we have a desire we have to overcome the desire next question next question yes again does that include okay how do we arve to the conclusion ofes the mid says says to I swear to you on my name that the Torah is easy as long as you fear me he says I swear to you on my name for you to follow the entire Torah it's very easy as long as you fear me meaning that he didn't give us a Shalom a a burden he gave us a gift now to understand that it's a gift you have to appreciate the gift you have to take off the the the cover and the cover and you have to appreciate and you respect the gift if you just throw it in the air and throw it in the garbage you're not going to appreciate it now how do we appreciate this tah we appreciate it by working to find out the bottom line truth finding out what the is now to find out the in the Tor is not always black and white for example you have 39 restrictions 39 things that you're not allowed to do on Shabbat where do we learn that there's 39 things you're forbidden to do on Shabbat we learned it from the mishkan there are 30 39 things that we did to build the mishkan and from there we learn all the things we're not allowed to do on Shabbat what's the connect this Mish we're building a bet mikdash in the middle of the desert this is Shabbat that gave us even before Mount what's the connection the connection is the explained to us that from the oral Torah that even to build the house of hem is not allowed on Shabbat meaning even something that logically sounds glorious and magnificent and likeah even that's not allowed on Shabbat so the oral Torah teaches us an enormous amount of things from the beginning from mhu all the way to today but every book that's written today that has in it that the whoever wrote this Tora has in it is considered part of our oral tah the praiseworthy is the man that arrives with that arrives in with what does it mean say arrives with a book in his hand what book A book that he wrote wrote meaning that even if you [Applause] wrote a little blog you have a little you have a little on you have something that you wrote little thing you arrive in sh and say what did you write now I have a little blog I have a little thing I right okay you have something you have something says that you have to have 186 days worth of Tora that you're going to learn straight you teach them in sh meaning that it's not just going to be you knowu k you have it's other that you have to have and develop over time so the point is is that the Torah continues to develop through you through the things that you learn and there are certain there's certain insights that only you can get no one else is ever going to get only you can get them you have to learn those you have to develop them how hem says that Tor is easy what does it mean easy if you learn learn learn learn learn learn learn learn learn learn you're not g to know because you learned you're not goingon to learn because why mosu went to Mount Si 40 days 40 nights the uh Tor says the uh mid says mid says after 40 days 40 nights you forgot everything forgot everything said I forgot everything you taught me best in the world learn with hem you forgot everything what am I going to do learn again another 40 Days 40 nights 40 days 40 nights what happened at the end hashm gifted them the tah why did he GI him T he says that's the lesson for to know the learning that you're going to learn is not necessarily what you're going to get as results that's not necessarily the results the learning is like putting the right code on the Safe 1 7 8 3 3 4 Heaven the learning is earning the ticket earning the ticket opening that's the key that's the key that's the key eventually you open a part of the safe hasem gift you a bunch of Torah it's not always necessarily the same you learned for one hour you didn't get one hour of knowledge sometimes you learned for one hour but was under you were in a lot of pain the wife is yelling the kids are yelling you're yelling everybody's yelling and this that an hour of T give you a week a week of Torah sometimes you learn four hours and you didn't get five minutes of Torah why you're playing with the phone half the time you're playing with the phone you're eating ice cream you're smoking 18 cigarettes and you really weren't learning says oh you learn for four hours you pretended to learn for four hours I'll give you five minutes give you five minute K nothing so the point is that hasem gift you the Torah he gift you the Torah the learning that you do is to earn it it's to earn this Torah this is why I give you sh for three hours I'm hoping by the end of the three hours I'll earn maybe 5 minutes more next question question how what's vodo's name David thank you for having us to I thought I recognized the the face but I wasn't sure not just when you go to sleep how you going to wake up in the morning and how you continue to believe H amen no it's all we can the is the learning that's is the learning if you once a person once a person understands the benefits of learning I'll give you guys an analogy there's there's two options there's learning to you're here at 11 o'clock at night 12 o'clock at night you're getting some something are relevant to your life some things are not relevant to your life some things you like some things you don't like but all of it is important or you can be like this other guy that just reported on the news a few days ago that he broke a world record what world record that he broke He Walked on Legos for 900 yards he walked with Barefoot on Legos for I don't know how many hours 900 yards he hurt his feet that was his life goal these are the two options we walk on Legos like M do nothing with our life or we learn that you could actually apply in your life even if you take five minutes of the Sho you apply to your life your life is already worth it it's it's already worth it to do this the is the the Tora is the that's the reward why because T gives you a purpose to your life because even if you have problems at least you know why you know where it's coming from you connected to the source of problems you connected to the source of good you realize that the problem has good in it you could realize a story like R AKA that's a horrible horrible ending but in reality once you learn to you realize wait a minute okay it ended horribly here but he's in GED he's in G he's not horrible anymore he's enjoying himself for eternity let us be a for you understand so the key is once we see that the Torah teaches us that this life is a place of work it's a place where you could earn eternity then you realize that's the that's the reward that's the reward why because you have the opportunity to read a book every day read books every day as much as you want to earn a better and bigger eternity instead of walking on Legos like the MIM that's the word yeah you have a question from somebody yeah how do they elect you're not going to kick out people unless they are doing things on purpose and they're refusing to change but at the same token you are supposed to rebuke them there's a you must rebuke your people now the mistake that we have today is that people think that you're not allowed to rebuke if you're not a perfect human being you know because there is a that says one says who's who's righteous enough to rebuke these days but we explained this before he wasn't talking about who's perfect in everything he was talking about who's perfect you know in this one particular particular thing that he can rebuke on this one particular thing meaning that you don't rebuke on things that you're bad at you rebuke on things that you're good at so if you keep Shabbat then you have to tell somebody else to keep Shabbat if you see him violating Shabbat but on the other hand there is a mistake out there where people think that if you know that the other person is not going to listen then you shouldn't say anything meaning if you know you tell him to stop driving on Shabbat and he's not going to stop then you should stop saying it if you look at of the rambam he specifically explains what does it mean to rebuke people he specifically explains what does it mean and he explains that when it comes to R meaning like all types of blessings a ping if you know that you tell somebody listen you should light a manora for for kanuka but you know he's not going to listen you don't have to tell him that's a rabal Mitzvah if you know listen you tell the guy listen you should do before you eat but you know that if you tell him he's GNA get angry he's not going to listen to you anyway you don't have to tell him but if it's a biblical mitvah meaning it's something like Shabbat there's nothing that absolves you from rebuking him you must tell him the truth if you see him sinning until he either beats you up or he threatens to beat you up some say he has to actually beat you up which the rambam says he has to actually must beat you up some say no no you should just threaten to beat you up should threaten to beat you up the point is that's the mistake that people make today where they think that listen I have friends they drive on Shabbat I told them not to drive they don't listen anyway so I might as well stop that's not true you have to tell them you have to continue telling them now as far as theet whether it beabad or anybody else doesn't really make a difference there's plenty of that people drive on Shabbat today the key of the rav the point of being a ra is not just to make nice lectures if you have AET the point of being a raav is to be a m to direct people to go in the right direction now if you see that people are going in the wrong direction you are obligated to tell them you obligate tell them listen I noticed that uh you're driving on Shabbat you're not all to drive on Shabbat now what happens if the rabbi doesn't do it and a few other places in the Tor says then the rabbi also becomes a partner to the sin meaning that this Rabbi was better off being a janitor than a rabbi he was better off being a homeless person than being a rabbi why because now instead of worrying just about his own sins he's now a partner in his entire KLA sins meaning he's crazy for for not rebuking people people or for being a rabbi if you don't want to tell people the truth it's better off not to be a rabbi why because you become a partner in their in their crime so you have to tell them now how you tell them that depends on your character some people tell them through like me some people can't tell them so they bring me some people tell them on the side you know they have a private meaning oneon-one some people send somebody to tell them somebody send different ways different creative ways to tell people but you have to do something you can't have somebody coming to your k for five or 10 years driving on Shabbat and never say anything and think that in shim they think that everything's okay why because thear says that even 55 B talks about it where even he made a mistake where he did not rebuke his next door neighbor we had a cow that uh carried on Shabbat and he felt bad because it was a widow a widow the cow he says n she doesn't know who am I to tell her he was says he he got what his de in sh is and he said in sh they called was able to revive the dead in sh they called him one day shabb he goes what Shabbat when I violate Shabbat he goes oh you didn't Shabbat because your neighbor violated Shabbat you didn't tell her anything so it's considered as if you shabbat it's consider as if you own the cow he fasted for the rest of his life 19 more years and so now because this guy came to every time every time every time he learned how to be behaved now he himself he's not because the Torah says that if you have a you have you have Torah that says that if you see another person but here's the thing the problem is that we don't know I can tell you from my experience I had a lot of information in my head my whole life because I spent a lot of time learning but I learned a lot of other things I learned business I learned a stock market I learned science psychology I had degrees and an MBA all types of things but in a secular World T not so much not so much now when I was in business I had rabbis come to my uh Office three times a week one was for AA this one is for B this one is for B that for camp this every one of them every week would get some type of donation and I had no problem it was very for me it was a gift to give other people now at no point did any one of them ever tell me that I should do chuva or I should keep Shabbat or I should do anything else other than GI now if this was one time this was one time then I said okay one time they don't know me yet they're scared that maybe how do they know I don't keep Shabbat they don't know two times okay maybe they know I don't keep Shabbat but they're not sure how I'm going to react three times four times a 100 times yeah but maybe he's not ready maybe this maybe that I had the office for 16 years but let's just do easy math let's do 10 years and let's not do three times a week let's do once a week once a week for 10 years that means 520 times those 520 opportunities for one of these rabbis to tell me by the way you're not allowed to marry a non-jew you should get a divorce by the way you're not allowed to eat non kosher you should stop by the way you're not allowed to drive on Shabbat and go to the casino you should stop by the way you're not allowed to do all the things that you're doing at one point 520 times one time tell me but not even one time they told me you know why I'll tell you why I know why why exactly exactly that's the problem that is the problem because people are more scared of more than they're scared of a so here's the thing my re once I did chuva I thought about it this way I had to go through hell and back to survive to be here today sickness disease loss headaches you guys know the story I don't want anyone else to go through it now I assume that anyone I'm ever going to see it's probably the last time I'm ever going to see them hopefully it's not hopefully I'm going to see you again tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the next day forever but I don't know maybe tomorrow you hate me maybe tomorrow I I leave the world who knows what's going to happen I don't know what's going to happen we don't know so what am I I'm betting that at some point one of us is going to Sham I want to make sure that we go up to Sham at least it's not my fault at least it's not my fault can't say oh listen I didn't keep Shabbat wait how come you didn't keep Shabbat your own didn't didn't tell you no he didn't tell me oh let's bring your on on no why didn't you tell him why' you tell him yet you every uh Sunday every Tuesday every Wednesday how come you tell them I want to absolve my it's not really you it's me it's my problem I'm selfish I'm selfish I don't want to have a problem in sham why because I already got a little taste of it here I don't want anymore I got a little taste of it here I don't want anymore the key is I don't know who I'm going to see who I'm not going to see I don't do like that I don't do math Maybe I'm going to have more time maybe next week maybe next month maybe next year maybe in three years who promises me even tomorrow who promises me next week who promises me next year I have an opp I have you right now I'm going to tell you now whatever hem tells me to tell you I'm going to tell you now next time I see you BM I'll tell you whatever he tells me at that point and BM you see this actually works when I asked one of those so-call rabbis they used to come to my office how come he never told me he says because he believes that the only Mitzvah that you're supposed to do in the Tor in this generation is just give that he actually believed this I told him the only mitvah you should fulfill and not is not leaving your house so at least you don't make other people believe this nonsense it's not true there a lot of we're obligated to do a lot of things we have to work we have work to do but the point is that we have to try our best my job is to tell you what to do you pick [Laughter] I'm not no the point is is that the of the is good you get a is good but there's plenty of people that are that die without CH there's plenty of people that die plenty of them you know they uh you can assume that every single person he gives the guy is going to is going to die with a chuva you think that this guy Paul Allen that uh died uh two weeks ago with billions and billions of unspent money in the bank I'm sure he gave to somebody wasn't but it was for somebody he do chba and other billionaires that died before him and the one on that going to die after him not all of them are going to do these are not that we're supposed to do we're supposed to do that listen you have an opportunity Hashem is bringing whatever he's bringing in your life for a reason if he shows you somebody driving on Shabbat he's showing it to you for a reason because he's giving you an opportunity to save this guy's n that's why he showed it to you he's showing you another guy that's intermarried why is he showing it to you and not everybody else right now because he wants to give you the opportunity to buy yourself why by Saving this couple by Saving this person so every time he brings you somebody that's a sinner it's an opportunity to get bigger to get more reward but if you don't use that reward if you say no no I'm going to do it next time and next time who says you have next time soem wants to give you a prize he wants to give you an opportunity you don't use the opportunity you're wasting it plus on top of it if you do it uh and you see that they're making a sin on a regular basis you become a partner in a either way the key is that we have Aah Just like keeping Shabah keeping kah is also it's also a Mitzvah we have to fulfill it some people should do it by speaking some people should do it by donating some people should do it by uh inviting some people should do it by other things encouraging different ways different but do something do something Shalom said the biggest is when one Jew sees another making a sin and he doesn't say anything that's why if you don't like him because he's asazi or because he's Lish or because he's kabad or because he's this or because he's that you're just crazy doesn't mean anything really you're just ha him for no reason but if you saw your brother's sinning and you didn't say anything that's real Sina why because if you know what sin means in sh if you really know what sin means in sh somebody makes a sin you realize that there's a train is about to hit about to hit him and you don't say anything just move a little bit stop stop eating pork stop going out with the Goya stop you don't tell him to move out of the way of the train you're really evil it's evil why the train's coming do him a favor tell him listen stop whether he listens or not it's his problem but you have to do yours if he says no no I like the train I want to sit over the train to hit me here new train come come if he wants the train to hit him that's his problem but at least say something he doesn't want to listen it's his problem but at least say something that's what I encourage all rabbis all people all Jews all non-jews anyone that has a little sense why if you know a little bit of Tor you know that there's a sin a sin is not a good thing Hashem doesn't like it we have to pay a bill for this sin if you see somebody sinning tell him listen I heard this is a sin I heard this is no good or here's a CD or whatever do something bring him to the shoe that's how we can do we have another on Tuesday in in same time we're going to continue the uh I think we're at 142 a series I got the number we'll find that on Tuesday amen amen and [Music] [Applause] [Music] la [Music]
