VAEIRA: IRAN War Is Next Big Test| STUMP THE RABBI (257)

sees all Every hide from him. >> Any financial advice? >> Buy low, sell high. >> Maybe we'll talk about it later. questions and answers. Don't think you can hear your shapes through sees Don't think you can't deal, every word, every quiet he made fun of the tour, but I like it. He makes a public apology about what he did. Sh. So before you Don't think a minute. We are back here on our Wednesday night stump. We're after you guys will ask some questions and will give us the answers. Tonight's show is going to be for the and all of Israel and all the righteous noises that continue to support our organization on our website either bezem.org or bhhora.org and uh big to all of you that are doing the tikun with us. It's certainly working. It's helping a lot of people. We get emails and messages from people that need help with every single day and boashm each one of them that watches that film we've made several years ago is uh simply reinvigorated and has an actual path of how to do chuva between the film and the hundreds of shim that we've done about the topic. It helps them. So when you guys help us with the uh your tikun, you're helping other people do chuva which actually magnifies your tikun more than you are able to do with any other organization on planet earth. Also as a reminder for you guys we have our kir store where you can get not only the books and the USBs but you could also get one of these car magnets or actually two. It comes in packages of two and also a decal. This is going to turn your vehicle or store wherever you're going to put this into a mitzvah of a machine that's going to help your tikun. And as we have actually learned from the uh that uh one of the main things that hurts a person's parasa says uh that one of the main things that hurts a person's parasa is when they have not done tikkun when they've not done complete shuva for uh uh for tikun and in fact this new book that uh I uh got recently uh that uh the author told me about I never found I never heard about it but apparently it's a new piece uh called what didn't you know about your soul or the bedtime or in Hebrew this is by that brought a lot of different about but also about and he mostly delves into the cabalistic end of uh the issues of immorality and one of the things that a lot of people don't know is that even if you do chuva and this is the name of the even if you do chuva for uh you know wasting seed immorality but you don't do the tikunim that means that the blessings that were held off from you because you are sinning and now you've done chuva they may start coming back but not in their full potential because in essence it's like a pipe that still has even after you've unclogged it it's a in essence it still has some remains after you've unclogged it and that's why the tikun is one of the main things that brings panasa uh brings a lot of blessings and also the uh um uh one of the other things that he's brought that we've said actually in previous lectures but it's always necessary for a generation that's constantly looking for a zoo even though there are plenty of girls and there's plenty of guys that are looking for zooim but nobody could find each other one of the reasons says of breastlift is because of the issue of immorality when a person wastes seed in fact it's creates more damage spiritually than even if he committed immorality with another person. I understand this is hard to grasp, but nonetheless, the uh tikunim are something that helps people much more than they actually realize. So, with that being said, perhaps we'll discuss it a little further later today, but uh of course, what's on everybody's mind, especially the Jewish world, is what's going to happen with Iran. Is Iran going to fall or attack us? In Israel, people are worried. I had a shir in Hebrew earlier today and every single question, you know, was about Iran. Are they going to attack us? We're scared. What are we going to do? Because even though they're about to fall, they are in essence doing something like uh that's called murder suicide where you know what we're going to get our last uh you know our last bit against our enemies and uh while they're being destroyed themselves they want to destroy their enemies which their number one enemy is Israel. So what's going to happen? What's going to happen? And what does this have to do with paras although Hashem told Mosherenu that the salvation is coming in last week's para in fact it looked like the picture got much much worse before it got better. Moshe complained to Hashem at the end of last week's para. He screamed out to Hashem, cried out to Hashem, "Why did you make me the one for this task? If you're not going to help them, why aren't you helping them?" Moshe is crying on behalf of Amos is crying on behalf of himself. Why? You said you're going to save them, but you're not saving them. It got worse. The Egyptians are destroying and hurting our and we see that in this week's the salvation comes the makot come the plagues come one after another destroying Egypt as will destroy all of Israel's enemies one day and that day will come soon but before he does this Hashem rebukes Mosheu. He rebukes him. He rebukes him in such a way that we have to investigate what's really the rebuke and what does it have to do with us today with the situation that we have in Iran. Because as we always said for the last 10 years, anytime you have any questions about something, you will always find it in that week's Torah portion in that week's par. After that, you guys will ask some questions and will give us the answers. And of course, if I forget, like I did last week to answer that big question that we asked a couple of weeks ago, please remind me and we also have another question for you guys because I know you like it and it certainly helps you continue learning Torah until the next time we learn together. So in parad as I said brings the plagues but that's only after complained complained that the Egyptians have made things much worse. It looks like the world is getting much worse. Iran is having a revolt while at the same time killing tens of thousands of its own people and threatening to attack Israel and different US bases that are close to it within the next 24 hours. It looks like things are getting much worse. It looks like every major country that has an army has their hands on the trigger, whether it's Russia, China, or other countries. The US, one day they're saying that they're trying to bring good friends. Amazing. Next thing you know, they're conquering countries like we did in previous generations. Now they're talking about wanting to take over Greenland. And the reality is I'm surprised they haven't already. I'm surprised there is even a discussion. Militarily speaking, it makes no sense for America not to control Greenland because in a place where you have your two major enemies, theoretically speaking, Russia and China, even though they still do business together, being able to get so close to you, do business right around the corner from you, doesn't make sense for the United thinks not to have control of Greenland. On the other hand, technically Greenland is another country, has major partners and doesn't want to be sold. It doesn't want to be taken over. This could be a pretext for the next world war. It's a much bigger deal than people realize. And if that happens, don't be surprised if Canada is next. What is Canada going to do? speak French to them and think that they're going to beat them with the war. What is Greenland going to do? Say, "Please, all of the uh UN come fight against America." So, these things are around the corner. And for those of you that are not aware, Israel is not exactly off that list. Number one, we also we know that that's another number two, we know that the war of gum is coming at some point or another and it's a series of wars. And number three, Trump actually already built a military base inside Israel where there are American soldiers with weapons walking around in Israel as we speak and it's only going to expand further. to say that he's not going to try to conquer that too at some point is speaking with empty words because this is a person that's trying to make a name for himself. Again, you could say no, but he did a lot of good things for the Jews. Yeah. What does that mean? Do you think he cares about his reputation, his name, his legacy? Or do you think he cares about what you think? He thinks he can do a better job than Netanyahu. So you have a situation now. You have Iran. Iran has been the major enemy of Israel for some time. teaching their children to hate Israel, teaching their women to hate Israel, teaching their literally their entire focus is to hate Israel, waiting for the atomic bomb to be in their hands. But now they have a revolt. And they realize that this revolt that they have could take down the government. But what do you do with this hate? With this builtup hate? It's been built up for decades. So they're saying, you know what? If we're going down, we might as well take down the enemies with us. Might as well take down the enemies with us. Iran is not kamas. Kamas had little battle rockets that thrown at us. Iran's rockets are the size of buildings. Even though the special mission and short war that where Israel attacked them was a uh boashem a success. Not everyone is confident that the same thing is going to happen again especially now that they are in the most dangerous place they have been in in decades. What is that dangerous place? I have nothing to lose mentality. The reason why terrorism that comes from the Muslim world is the most dangerous type of terrorism. It's the only one that's spoken about more than terrorism that comes from other places in different countries is because the mentality that they brainwash the terrorists and the families with is that your death is good for you. Meaning that the one thing that is the number one motivation for every sane person which is the motivation to live, the desire to live. The number one desire that any normal person has is to live. More than money, more than intimacy, more than honor, more than anything else is desire to live. The moment a person loses their desire to live, they are they're considered insane. But here you have entire people that have taught their children have taught the mothers of those children that they must remove the desire to live in order to succeed. So when you're fighting against an enemy that feels they have nothing to lose and only to gain by losing their life in the process of destroying you. It's not it's not a battle that you can win without the hand of Hashem. Now you have the problem that we've had for the last few decades with groups of terrorists manifesting itself to the father of all terrorists, Iran. And they have that same desire, desire to destroy at the cost of their life. It's a very different war than it was a few months ago. It's a very very different war continues the dialogue between andu after Mosheu saw is suffer much more than they have in the last 210 years. the suffering increased drastically and he cried out to if you're going to save them why haven't you saved them? Why is everything getting worse? And if you pay attention to the words starts with the word God spoke to Moshe and said to him, I am Hashem. Four times in this par the word is said that Hashem spoke to Moshe. But 12 other times it says, "Hashem said to Moshe." Now in the English language saying, "Hashem spoke to Moshe. Hashem said to Moshe, it's synonymous. It means the same thing, but not in Hebrew, not ines, not in the holy language." The reason why it says Kazal teaches us that this is stern words from Hashem to Moshe. In the first case, it's the rebuke where he tells him, "I am God." Which we'll explain in a moment. The second time it's a stern words in verse number in chapter 6 says, He commands him come to Peru. Then he says then he commands him again these are commandments meaning stern words are necessary. And then he says to him, "Go speak to pero meaning speak to him sternly yourself." But later on when Moshe has questions about who's going to speak, I'm uh I can't speak properly. He has a stammer. He has a stutter. He has both. In so many words, Hashem made him the worst speaker in the world. It's a legitimate concern. And therefore, Hashem says, Hashem said to Moshe, meaning he spoke to him in softer words, I have made you a master of Aon. Your brother shall be your spokesman. You have a legitimate concern. Later on, it says that Hashem spoke to Moshe again in chapter 7:8 when Paul speaks to you saying, "Provide a wonder for yourselves," meaning telling you what's going to happen before it happens. And 10 other times it says Hashem spoke to Moshe. Meaning it's not as stern. There's a difference here. There's commands, there's rebuke where the language is stern, where it's and then there is Hashem spoke. But what is the rebuke about? Kazal teaches us that after Mosheu complained that Hashem has sent him in vain where instead of helping the people everything has gotten worse everything has gone worse where is the salvation speaks harshly to Moshe and saying that your forefathers Abra and Yakov did not question me even though I did not show them the miracles that I'm about to show you. You have not enough patience to see the salvation because there is a shortage in Mosheu's level and your understanding that ani that I am God. What does it mean? I am God. Of course, he's God. Who is he? He's somebody else. Tells Mosherenu, I am God. Which means that you not only should trust me, but you must for your own benefit. I am God. Which means Rashi says I am trustworthy to carry out my word of rewarding the righteous and punishing the wicked. I am God. I am God that knows my nation's pain. And I will bring them salvation because that's what I promised the forefathers. because I am God and I'm the only one that can do it. the problem that people have whether it's with the situation that's happening with Iran or even their own personal sufferings is no different in everybody's respective level of course forenu but is no different than what was dealing with here it's a lacking in understanding what I I am God means I am God means that what I say I will do. I do not change my mind like the idoltors thinks I did like the heretics thinks I do. I am God means I say something therefore it is as good as done. I don't change my mind. I don't lie. I don't get confused. And the fact that you are suffering right now is to your benefit. Why? In the case of Israel, I am God. And I told Abraham that his children are going to be in Egypt for 400 years. I said 400 years of sufferings. Now, there's only been 210. In order for me not to lie, I have to give them 400 years worth of sufferings. So it's either leave them there for another 190 years or increase the suffering to such an extent that 190 years worth of sufferings will happen in a short period of time. Women having birth, excited. Next thing they know, they kill their kids. Fathers working, trying to build the next pyramid, build the next pam. One of my students who's a history major showed showed me one of the ancient writings that proves that is built pin says as literally the Egyptian writings say that it's the Hebrews that built it unlike what the heretics and all the fools of the world think that it was built by aliens or by other nations. So father is trying to build another pyramid another part of the city another pam says but he doesn't meet the quota because par took away his material what happens instead of the stone you supposed to make they take his kid and they put him instead of the stone he watches his own children die the suffering was unbearable, worse than the Holocaust. Says, "I am God. I know who I am giving life to. I know who I'm taking life away from. I know who I'm punishing. I know who I'm rewarding. The extreme level of suffering is to your benefit, is to am's benefit." Why? I am cutting the time of their punishment in half. So when you're complaining that I did not bring the salvation, it's because you do not understand yet. I don't think like you. I don't operate like you. As the prophet tells us in the name of Hashem, "My thoughts are not like your thoughts and my ways are not like your ways." People that compare human behavior to God are simply heretics. He is nothing like us. Not in thought, not in look, not in ways, not in behavior. The fact that you had an idea guarantees Hashem is not going to do it. When you think of different ways that Hashem can bring a salvation to you, you could be assured it's not going to be that. Why? My ways are not your ways. My thoughts are not your thoughts. Stop giving God ideas. He doesn't need them. He doesn't need your help. He doesn't think like you. You are suffering because you keep looking for ideas that you can give God. Which means you believe in the wrong God. You believe in a God that needs something. You believe in a God that is deficient of ideas, deficient of abilities. In Mosher Benu's situation gives him the one AND ONLY REBUKE. I AM GOD. Meaning I know you're new IN THIS JOB. SO THEREFORE, I'm rebuking you and not punishing you. And you're only crying because you're seeing your brothers and sisters suffering. But know this, as much as you know and you see the suffering, I see exponentially more. I know exponentially more and I still choose to do that because it's the ultimate mercy for each and every single person. The one that's suffering more and living, his time of suffering will end sooner. The one who's suffering and dying, this will help his tikun and he'll be able to get to heaven instead or get to the next level of their incarnation, next level of their tikun. each and every single account I did. And just like Hashem told Job, I know the names of every one of your hairs, names of every one of the stars. And you question, you question because you have not understood yet. I am God. And gives this rebuke to Mosheu and thereby to us today. As the says that every single thing that is written in the Torah and the Tanakh is written there specifically because it affects all generations. Any prophecy that was made that is only relevant to their times is not included in the Tanakh at all. Am had over 1.2 million prophets, but only 55 of them are mentioned in the Tanakh. 48 males, seven females. Because those 55 had prophecies that are relevant to every single generation, to every single person for all times. Meaning what Mosherenu said, what Abrainu said, what uh you know said, what Isaiah said, what David said, EVERY SINGLE ONE of the things that's mentioned is relevant to each and every single person that's watching this right now and every single person that has lived in all of history. But when a person thinks that they have better ideas than Hashem or they know better then it's hard for them to understand what Hashem is trying to tell us here by saying I am God is telling us the salvation that I will bring is much more than the salvation that you think you'll get. You think that you're simply going to be freed from Egypt, freed from being slaves? No. Four different levels of salvation I will bring you. You are hoping just for one, but no. First of all, I will end the salvation. I will end the uh this the slavery even before you leave Egypt. And that's why he says, "I shall take you out. God will remove the Jews from the burden of slavery even while they're still in Egypt. Vital will rescue my kids. All of the subjugation that the Jews have been suffering, I will end them. I shall redeem you. After you leave, you will need further miracles because the Egyptians will come chase you and you'll be worried that perhaps they change their mind. So I will not only split the sea for you into 12 different tunnels, one for each tribe, but I will show you with your own eyes that your enemy is destroyed and can never come back again. And if you thought that was enough, the ultimate salvation is I will take you as my nation. Meaning this salvation is not a one-time thing. It's not a one generation thing. You will always be my nation and I will never change you and replace you for anybody else. When a person actually understands what is being said here, then they can start understanding what it means when Hashem says, "Ani, Hashem, I am God." and therefore they could apply it to their lives today when they see the world on fire. Whether it's Iran becoming suicidal or it's America wanting to pretty much dominate more parts of the world or it's Russia or China already talking about the future war being inevitable. And the list goes on. It looks bad. It looks bleak. It looks horrible. And it will get worse. It will get much worse inside Israel. You have a Zionist government that's anti- Torah hurting their own citizens because they are religious. What par didn't do to us, the Zionist government is doing to us. Po let the Torah scholars learn Torah in peace. He did not even enslave them. But the ZIONIST GOVERNMENT DOES NOT WANT US to learn Tora. It will get worse. They're going beating up, breaking noses, breaking arms. In a couple of cases, killing young bahim because they want to be Torah scholars. They want to serve Hashem. And the foolish people that call themselves Zionist religious, like a mix of both worlds, like a half servant of Hashem, half heretic. They say, "NO, NOT EVERYBODY'S GOING TO BE A LIKE. Whoever is NOT GOING TO BE, HE should uh go to the army." If we did things based on that calculation, we would have never had a dull. The major Torah scholars that we've had throughout all of history, the overwhelming majority of them did not begin that way. In fact, many of them began by being viewed as the worst of the worst. There was young Bahour that was called even by his own family members the butcher's son as an insult. That butcher's son became the Rambam. Not everybody is grown as a child prodigy. What people don't understand is that gives he gives based on toil. And even if somebody does not become a dull, the fact that they're learning Torah is bringing protection to is but if somebody does not believe in the statement I am God, then to them you're simply taking up space by learning to. So you have a war against the Torah inside Israel. You have a war against the bodies of the Jewish people all over the world. Anti-semitism is hitting high levels similar to what it was right before the Holocaust. A world war is inevitable. And Hashem says, "I am Hashem." And if you believe and understand that Hashem doesn't think like us, Hashem doesn't do things like we do, doesn't operate the way we do, then this is the time where you work on your ine trust in Hashem and know that everything that is happening that looks horrible that is horrible and everything that will happen that looks horrible and will be horrible is part of the grand plan of ultimate salvation. Even more than the four different types of salvations he brought us to take us out of Egypt. And the more you believe and the more you trust in the less pain you will have because the vast majority of the pain that people have especially in today's world whether it's based on a situation that's world war or even their own personal difficulties in marriage in business financial Kids, the ultimate thing to understand is that the biggest suffering is self-inflicted because you have anxiety, you have no confidence, you have depression, you have victimizing yourself feelings, you have lost hope, you have worries, You have all types of things that are foreign to a person that has a person that has does not have these anxieties, does not have these depressions, does not have these foreign things that are literally a spiritual poison to your mind and heart. I am Hashem. Hashem tells us, "I am Hashem and therefore you must trust me for your own good because the salvation will come with or without you." And the question of how much you will suffer is based on how much confidence and trust you have in if you have no confidence, you're simply destroying yourself from the anxiety, from the stress, from the depression, from your worries, from watching the news instead of learning Torah, from thinking YOU CAN GIVE GOD ideas because you know what the land looks like and you saw it on YouTube. Hem says, "I am Hashem. I reward the righteous and I punish the wicked." As bleak as the picture look, as dark as it looks, if you believe that God is God, the picture should be brighter than the sun. Why? The salvation's coming every day. We are a day closer to the salvation. Whether that salvation comes tomorrow or the next day or a year from now or 10 years from now is irrelevant. The picture should look as bright as the sun in everybody's eyes that believes that I am Hashem, says Hashem. But the moment you see dark, you need to work on your bet in Hashem because it's lacking. You have anxiety, your beton is lacking. You have worry, your beton is lacking. You have ideas of what could bring the salvation, your beton is lacking. You think you can do a better job than God, a lot is lacking. Even more than Hashem says to our leader Musher Rabenu, I am Hashem. And he's telling us, dear world, the same God that brought us the salvation in the past is the same God we have today. Salvation's coming. You could feel the pleasure of the salvation today by knowing that God is God or you could simply suffer until it does. The choice is yours. These are the words that we saw in the Torah as we were learning the para and the sages teach us there are certain things that always need strengthening always need and is one of them. Now is a time that if you don't have bet you have suffering, you have heartaches, you have worries, you have misery and your bank account is irrelevant, your marriage is irrelevant, your kid, everything becomes irrelevant. Why? you become a walking depressed person because everything is dark when you don't have inevitation to everybody is to watch the series we made about it's only 19 lectures and after you finish that watch the first 20 lectures of Jewish Ashkafa it's almost like a continuation of that series watching those nearly 40 lectures is going to simply change your lack of to actually having bet. But if you think it's just going to come to you by itself, you're mistaken. Hashem gave us the Torah. The Torah is instructions. That's what Torah means. It's instructions. Instructions how to live. Not just how to live your day-to-day life in going to shul and doing mitzvot, but how to live through this right now and what's happening and what's going to happen. You can already feel the pleasure of the salvation every single day. How much of it you see depends on how much you have. If you feel like you can't do and everything is too much for you, that's because you're lacking in your ine. You're thinking that you're doing anything. Hashem is there whether you realize it or not. And akadoshu tells Mosher Rabenu, although it looks like I'm not there. I'm not only there, I'm the one doing it. I'm the one doing it. And despite all the suffering, the anguish, the pain, the death, out of all of the choices that are possible, I still choose this because this will bring the ultimate salvation to each and every single person involved in the best possible way. Something that's incomprehensible to any human being. Because how could death be a salvation? How could losing an arm be a salvation? How could uh losing a child be a salvation? How could uh suffering back pain be a salvation? How could losing money be a salvation? How could suffering, loss, pain, how could it be a salvation? You only think that way because you think you know better than God. I am Hashem, says Hashem. I know better than you. I know better than you. I know all the choices available to you. And I always choose the best one for you. And therefore, the more you understand what I am, Hashem means, the less you will suffer regardless of the pain that's around you. We will all take upon ourselves to strengthen our hearts get closer to and toil as much as absolutely necessary every single day to feel what I am means. Not just SAY but feel it. Not just SAY I BELIEVE IN GOD. Know God. Know what it means that Hashem runs the world. Know what it means. The more you have in you, the less worries, the less concern, the less anxiety. Why? Because you know that THIS IS THE BEST out of all of the possible choices because chose it for you. And no one can choose better than him. Your ideas of salvation will not be. Why? Hashem's salvation is better than yours. Hashem's salvation is better than yours. So the more we believe that a kadosh runs the world and he is the one that's making the best choices for all of us individually and nationally the easier and more pleasant our lives are going to be despite the chaos that's around us. Now, before we go into the questions, we'll answer the question that we asked a couple of weeks ago where you had a poor guy in the business of grains trying to make ends meet. And one day, the timing is right and there's a shortage of food. shortage of grains to such a point that people have to pay much more for the same grains they bought yesterday, for the same grains they bought a week ago. Hyperinflation. This continues for a while until people literally decide that they have to sell their houses in order to be able to have enough money to buy grains before they go up even further. This poor guy becomes very wealthy and now they're selling their houses to him. He buys the houses. They sign the contracts. The next day or a week later, two ships full of grains show up to town and the people come to the guy and tell him, "Listen, we didn't know that the ships are coming with grains. price of grains has dropped back to normal. We want our houses back. He's like, "Listen, I'll sell your houses, but for 10 times the price." No, no, no. We got to cancel the transaction. What are you supposed to do according to the Torah? Now, some said cancel the transaction. Okay, that's easier said than done. He bought it. There's a contract. Some say listen, business is business. He bought high. He bought low, he sold high. It's too bad they didn't have a different solution. But that's what it is. If I bought a company and the next day Microsoft buys it from me, the owner can't come to me and say, "Listen, uh, I don't want to sell you the company anymore. Listen, I bought it. The fact that Microsoft bought it from you or somebody bought it from me for a hundred times more, that's my gain, your loss. But that's not the way it works in this case. Why? Torah law says there's something called me. Means that you are making a transaction based on missing information or faulty information. What's the faulty information? Had we known that the ships are going to be here that are even on the way here, we would have never sold our houses. We would have just simply waited for them to come. But the fact that they came and we already sold the house shouldn't uh hurt us because again we want a transaction and according to the Torah law says this makes the whole transaction null and void meaning he doesn't sell them back the houses in exchange for the money rather they cancel the entire transaction. He gives them back the exact amount that they gave him or they give him back the exact amount that they uh that he paid them and he gives them back all of their houses. That's the answer. Some of you got cancelling the transaction correct but not for the right reason. So we always have to understand that there's not just right or wrong. There's a reason according to the Torah. We'll ask another question and certainly this one is going to be interesting as well. There's a guy they used to buy aliot in the besset. you know, he wants to go up and uh get an aliyah to the Torah and he felt that the sixth aliyah or the third aliyah, whichever one it is, has a special meaning. And therefore, he would always buy it for years. For years, he was the guy that was always buying it. So much so that people wouldn't even bid for it. He would just automatically be the one that bought it. One day, the goodbye that sells Daliot was out on a trip and somebody else replaced him to sell the aliot. And when he got to that particular aliyah, he didn't give the guy Ruven the uh the message that it's his turn. He has to buy this aliyah. Rather, you just said, "Okay, whoever wants to buy this aliyah, 50, 200, whatever it is." And Reuben was busy reading something and he didn't even know the daly's turn because he's used to he's always gets daly. When Shimon saw that nobody's bidding for it, he said, "I'll pay 50 for it." Gabbay said, "Okay, anybody else? Nobody else." Sold. Shortly after came time for the aliyah itself and Shima was about to go up to the aliyah and Rub said, "Oh, what are you doing? You know I'm the one that buys that aliyah all the time." Said, "Listen, I bought it today. I bought it." Yeah, but come on. Please do me a favor. It's my aliyah. It's very special to me. Shimon says, "Fine, no problem. I'll sell it to you for a,000 cuz he knows how much he wants it. So, it's mine. If you want it, I'll sell it to you. I'll sell it to you for a,000. I paid 50 for it." Obviously, the people in the shul saw this and people had different opinions. once said, "Wait, how can you sell it for a thousand?" He said, "Well, I bought it. It's mine. I could either get the ali myself or I can sell it to them for whatever I want. It's like selling a house, selling a bike, selling anything else." Another person said, "Yeah, but you can't. Come on. That's ugly. You can't do stuff like that." Cuz listen, when you buy an Ali, you do what you want with it. Don't tell me what to do with my stuff. I bought it like anything else. Now Reuven is willing to pay any price for it. Hashem, he has the money. So it's not the money. That's the issue here. He wants the aliyah. What do you do? Can he sell it to him for a thousand or does he have to sell it to him for 50 or some other middle ground? Because technically if you haven't paid attention, it's not exactly Shimon's fault that Ruben missed it. Reuben should have paid attention. Can I benefit from an aliyah or no? That's the question. Those of you that go to bikes viote, perhaps this is something that you have uh seen yourself. And even if you didn't, this is it's very common in every besset to sell aliot. the uh and the sages say that every person that goes to Bikneset should try to get at least one aliyah per month. But again, some batikit you could buy, you know, for just a few dollars. Other it's very very expensive. So it depends depends on your financial situation. It depends on the bnisset. But nonetheless, this is the question. >> I'd like to introduce you to your new best friend. We did it. AI Rabbi is here. It's an AI model that is based on kosher Torah sources. 30 different languages that are available to you. So if you want to ask it in Spanish, in Chinese, Portuguese, whatever you want to do, it's available for you. Can you tell me about the so timestamped to the shield? You press this green button. Hey, Rabbi on your WhatsApp. You'll have the ability to ask questions at will. We'll be providing sources and most importantly you'll be able to know the truth and be able to rely on the sources. >> So now you guys can start asking some questions who will give us the answers. Of course, we have the typical trying to disrespect, insult, but don't uh don't respond to them because it just uh fuels their uh fuels their fire. And it's better that they're here insulting me or uh wasting their time instead of insulting other people and causing sins elsewhere. Let's see. Why is the Talmud insulting Gim? Well, it depends if uh what you're referring to is insults to the Gim because there are different comments about Jews and Gim which is the nations in Talmud. When it's referring to righteous Jews, it gives them compliments. It gives them praises. When it's referring to wicked Jews, it gives them criticisms. It gives them curses. It uh gives them insults. uh forbidden to marry them. They are like uh you know the worst of the world and so on. And the same concept applies to non-Jews to go. When it's righteous going then there's praises lots of praises. There's even one of the uh books in the Tanakh is a uh is is the book of Job. Uh you know that's that's he wasn't Jewish. In fact also another book in the Tanakh. He was not a Jew originally. He was a he was a non-Jew that eventually converted. Uh so the point is is that there are compliments for righteous people, Jews and Gentiles, and there are criticisms and insults and horrible horrible words about wicked people. So if you were taught that there's only insults about goim then you are taught from anti-semites that like to selectively choose things based on their bias. If you simply did not know then now you know there are praises and criticisms about everyone Jews and Gentiles based on their actions. If they're righteous according to the Torah they get praises. If they're wicked, they get insults, criticism, curses, and even an obligation to hate them. Um, certain types of wicked people that are heretics, idoltors, missionaries, and so on. Uh, the same concept goes for non-Jews. It says all non-Jews are like animals. No, it doesn't. It doesn't say all non-Jews are like animals. Again, it's referring to a certain type of non-Jew, and it's not saying that they are like animals, like we are going to eat them, but rather it's referring to the way that they treat morality, the way that they treat intimacy. And the fact is that anyone that does not have the Torah as their priority number one, two, and three in their life is going to have lust as their priority number one, two, and three in life. Look at your friends, look at your peers, look at the streets, look at the television, look at the news. What is the priority in their life? Lust. They're constantly projecting lust, thinking about lust, uh talking about lust. They're marketing lust to to literally just to buy soap or candy or or or dishwasher or or or anything, you have to look at some that is showing YOU THE PRODUCT. WHY DO I need to look at some half naked woman just because I want to buy soap or toothpaste or or candy or anything? Why do I need a law firm that is uh marketing their business to show me a woman THAT'S HALF NAKED? WHY? WHY DO I need every single commercial that's on whether it's online or on media to constantly show me women that have forgotten TO PUT CLOTHES ON? WHY? Why is the number one business marketing in the world constantly PROMOTING THAT? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S ON PEOPLE'S MIND. That's what's on people's mind. In fact, if you are a young man or you remember when you were younger in high school as a uh single person in your teens, in your, you know, uh 20s, after everybody goes to work or they go to school, WHAT'S THE FIRST THING THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT? OH, WHO I'm going to hang out with tonight? Whose number did you get? Wait, you don't have anything else? You don't have anything ELSE ON YOUR MIND? NO, THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE ON THEIR MIND. NO, THEY DON'T. ALL THEY THINK ABOUT IS THAT. And no one can deny it. It's so disgusting that it's actually infiltrated the public school system. So much so that they are using textbooks and children's books that are promoting pornography to little children in America. This is not an invention I made. You could literally find it everywhere. There are court cases fighting schools and hearings in practically every city in America of parents complaining of why are you promoting pornography to 5-YEAR-OLD KIDS? WHY are you promoting pornography to 10 year old, 12 year olds? Do you KNOW WHY? BECAUSE THAT'S ALL IN THEIR MIND. THAT'S IT. That's all they can think of. They think that everything has to do with that. That's their end all BE ALL. THAT'S WHAT they think about in the morning. That's what they think about during lunch. That's what they think about after school, after work, after every It's constant. It's constant everywhere. Whether you're marketing a uh online business, a technology business, a drink, uh whatever it is, it's constant promotion of provocative immorality and uh and and simply telling people this is their new god. So that's what animals are like. If you ever see an animal, let's say, for example, you see a bull that they want to breed, what do they do? They don't send the bull and uh put them on some uh to to some to some matchmaker that puts them on a website. Hey, do you guys have a cow? Maybe they'll LIKE EACH OTHER'S PERSONALITY. NO. YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DO? They take 200 cows, female cows, and they release the BULL INSIDE. AND GUESS what I'm what HAPPENED HAPPENS? THAT'S HOW animals are. THAT'S THAT'S THEIR INSTINCT. WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY. We are supposed to be servants of Hashem. We are supposed to be humans where a man marries a woman and a woman marries a man. Today the immorality and filth is to such a level that it's become normalized to do all of the things that have were taboo JUST 25 years ago. 25 years ago LGBTQ was taboo. It was called being in the closet. Today there's no closet. It doesn't exist. 30 YEARS AGO, PORNOGRAPHY WAS TABOO. Today they promoted to children. So that's like animals. That's like animals. But it's not only pertaining to non-Jews. It's pertaining to anyone that does not have the Torah as their priority in their life because the Torah is what teaches us morality. The Torah is what teaches us holiness. And as the Ramban said 700 years ago and Rashi said 900 years ago, you will never find a place of holiness if there is immorality. There's no such thing as a immoral righteous person, a immoral holy person. Holiness is antithetical to immorality. Immorality is antithetical to holiness. And that's why in the world today, you have not only the promotions of all this filth everywhere, whether the children or adults alike, but you're also seeing it in the so-called important people world. Every other day there's another celebrity or important person that is exposed for their pedophilia or their perversions. every other day. You thought he was a nice actor or politician or CEO and you found out that really he's the filthiest, most disgusting person in his in his neighborhood and you can't even say in the world because tomorrow you'll find out someone worse than him. Every day, every day is another expose. Politicians, presidents, uh uh CEOs, uh teachers, every day. every day. But don't think this is only affecting the non-Jewish world. One of the most disgusting desecration of God's name that has happened in recent years is that a guy that says he used to work as a rabbi, which is hard for me to believe, but nonetheless, he says in his interview that he used to work as a rabbi before he became a disgusting filth. He actually runs the number one pornography company in the world. Now, obviously, he's not a rabbi. Obviously, he has nothing to do with being a rabbi, but needless to say, he's Jewish. And needless to say, he's a piece of garbage. That has nothing to do with Judaism. What he's doing is antithetical to Judaism. But to the world at large, this is very confusing message. Why? Because they don't understand what it means to be righteous, wicked, according to the Torah. If he's a rabbi, that he must know if he's a rabbi. If he says he's a rabbi, he must be a rabbi. It's like saying that uh you know, all teachers are bad because they found out that one teacher is a pedophile. That teacher is a criminal. The rest of teachers that are not criminals. So there's a lot of confusion out there and you have to understand that if a person wants to follow the Torah Elijah the prophet writes in I swear to you he says this is the words that he he says I swear to you whether man or woman young or old Jew or Gentile servant or mistress meaning a woman servant Everyone can get to a level of based on their actions. If you go and you follow the Torah, you could get to a level of which is divine uh providence, divine intervention. But in so many words, it's something beyond what you know everybody in the world has. But he says Jew or Gentile, woman or man. Now, of course, there's a bunch of psychopath and delusional people that tell their followers, congregants, and and and and their readers that they have divine intervention. This is all nonsense. People that have divine intervention, people that have do not talk about. I promise you that. But nonetheless, ELIJAH THE PROPHET WRITES this in a book called Tana that he swears meaning this is in the name of Hashem. Everyone can get to the high level of righteousness all according to their abilities, who they are, what they are, but everybody can get to a very high level and everyone can get to a very low level. So yes, there is a Jews that are giants, holy kodes, keshim, amazing people. And unfortunately, there are the exact opposite. Jews that are the worst of the worst, like this so-called former rabbi. And of course, there's Gentiles that could be good, and there's Gentiles that are bad. But the point is you have to understand everything that's written in the Talmud has context. If you avoid the context and you just read the few words that the anti-semmites like to highlight, you will never get the full message. You will just get the biased message. But the reality is once you understand the context, not only do you see that it's not anti it's not it's not a a bad message, but in fact you see it's as true as truth is. It's as truth as truth can be because you see it in your life. It's everywhere. It's everywhere. And that's unfortunate, but that's just the way it is. And when Mashiah comes, obviously it's all going to end. But until then, everyone has to overcome their obstacles and their tests and do the best they can to fulfill what commanded each and every one of us. Jews have to fulfill what the Torah says for Jews and Gentiles have to fulfill what the Torah says for Gentiles. How can a nohide ask Hashem to endure a sickness and ask for health? Pray. Pray to Hashem. Ask him to heal you. Certainly give him a good reason of why. What good have you done? What good you want to do? What good are you doing to publicize this Torah to help people do chuva? The more good you do, the more there's a reason to help you. Because once you start publicizing Hashem's Tora and help people do chuva, whether it's by supporting organizations like ours or uh or whatever other strategies you may find, uh then it's not just your merit that is being the one that's uh on the line, but rather the merit of those that you are helping. So the more you actually uh help people do chva, get closer to Hashem, the more their merit is actually going to help you get more blessing. Despite attending your lectures on beton, having read uh garden of amuna, I have difficulty effectively applying this knowledge and practice. It's as if there's a disconnect between what I've heard and read and my own thoughts and feelings. How can I overcome this? Number one, watch the lectures again. Number two, work on your ego because the more a person believes in their own abilities, the less they're going to believe in Hashem's salvation. So, it's a combination of submitting to the Almighty and nullifying our own ego. Do you believe that there will be a messiah that comes and unites the Jews? It's not a matter of believe or don't believe. What our prophets have told us, what has told us is that the Messiah will come and the Messiah will bring salvation. As David says, he's going to bring salvation to those people that have done that have repented for their sins and are going in the way of Torah. Which means that if Jewish people follow the Torah, they'll be saved. They'll have the salvation. Those that don't will not. And in fact, in the movie that we made called Go Magog over there, we bring countless sources of how the salvation will only come to those people that are righteous. Righteous Jews and righteous among the nations. And anyone that is not considered righteous according to the Torah will be punished. So there's no such thing as he's going to unite. If a person is righteous, he's already united with other righteous Jews. If a person is wicked, there's nothing to unite because even Hashem says in in uh through the prophet Isaiah and shalom, God says no peace to the wicked. There's no peace If Hashem decides everything, why do we say that a sadik can change a decree? Because Hashem decides everything and he can decide that the merit of the sadik is what he wants is the will of Hashem. Why? Because before the sadik's merit was part of the uh part of consideration, it was the merit of somebody else. There wasn't exactly a sadik or did not have enough merits. So the the will of Hashem was based on that calculation. Once the sadik's prayers or or or merits were in consideration, now the will of Hashem changed. Why? Because this is a different account. It's like going into a uh a uh you know an investment firm and uh they uh see okay you you're presenting yourself as somebody that has $100,000. So even though this investment firm would have preferred for you to have $100 million, they'll still want you money to invest it so they can make fees. So they can that's how they make a living. So what do they bring you? They bring you products that are available to a $100,000 investment. They'll bring you mutual funds, ETFs, uh they'll bring you a somebody to manage your account in a passive way. They'll give you different products that are catered for somebody in your size. But if you brought your best friend that is a co-investor with you and he happens to have $100 million, guess what? The choices change. Not because you suddenly have $100 million. You still have $100,000. But now you've become a co-investor with your best friend, because he wants to give you more options. And guess what? He has more options. He now has hedge funds available. He has uh you know a uh private uh capital. He has all types of things available. Why? Better choices. Why? Because he has more money. Same concept in regards to your question. When a person has limited amount of merits, then the choices and possibilities for that person are limited based on their limitations, their their merits. But when the merits of a sadik are in the consideration now, he became in essence a co-investor with this uh with this person. Now the options are different. Glad you like the answer. Are Ashkenazis from Yafid Jews? No. All Jews are from Shem. Unless it's a convert, but even that it's a uh there's a uh um sages that say that the nishimote of the uh converts were at Mount Si. And Rizel says that uh many converts actually used to be Jews but got punished for different bad deeds that they did. So they had to uh reincarnate as non-Jews and their tikun was to convert. So it's a combination of things. Is a reform movement a mockery? Of course it's a mockery. First of all, the reform movement openly says that they do not believe that God gave the Torah to Moses. Not the written Torah, not the oral Torah. Second of all, uh the reform movement uh accepts non-Jews as Jews. Uh meaning that they do not follow what Jewish law is. Uh third, they do not observe the mitzvot. They don't observe Shabbat, Kashoot, all of the different things. So they can call themselves reformed Jews. uh they call themselves uh you know Pokemon for all I care but they're not uh you know they're not following the Torah. They're mocking the Torah. In fact, they even highlight how they give a bar mitzvah and put to fill in on dogs which is a complete desecration of uh God's name and a mockery of the Torah. Thank you for the blessings. What's my AI rabbi? What? What's the Oh, the app website for the AI Rabbi is literally a rabbi.org. ai r a bbbi.org. Over there, you'll be able to get uh download the uh app to your uh Android or to your uh iPhone and uh you can subscribe. I recommend people subscribe for a year at a time because you'll be able to save almost 20% on price and it's a very very good app. It gives uh great answers sources. They may not always agree with uh your state of mind but they certainly agree with the Torah. No, pigs are not going to become kosher. Do you recommend for no hides to learn from Rabbi Lev learner? I recommend everybody to learn from Rabbi Love Learner. He's a fantastic he's part of the organization. He's uh somebody has a very very dedicated uh to Hashem to teaching Torah. He helps people beyond what people's uh uh realize and um and he's just an amazing amazing uh sadik. I think extremely I of him and Hashem uh we uh we've we're big we're big fans. We're big fans. So anybody that could learn it's a bigoot. It's a big and he has uh lectures covering so many different topics you know different things. So certainly does the Torah teach us to eat cannabis? No. Abby what time do the pro during at what time do the process of conversion could wear tit like a safari uh after conversion the day after you convert you put on a toite and the day of conversion uh the reason is because you don't want anyone one to think that you're already Jewish before you converted and end up making a mistake by counting you from minan which could end up causing the entire ka to sin because if let's say you're the 10th person and they think you're Jewish because you have a talon and they count you as the 10th person they therefore bring the Torah out they read from the Torah they say kadesh and all of it is a sin all of it is using Hashem's name in vain So you don't want people to think that you are Jewish and uh even though you you could say no no but everybody knows me can't rely on that can't rely on that once you convert then you put on put on everything can you read 58b I've read it Ready. I think you're very lenient on us. Not a matter of uh lenient or or strict. I tell you what the Torah says and that's it. There's no uh there's no mitzvah to be stringent on everything. People think that uh you just have to like uh be stringent on everything and be extreme on everything and that makes you more righteous. No, it's in fact used to say people that are constantly constantly stringent on everything end up being ends up being a being ends up being a donkey. Why? Because that's not what the objective of the Torah is. It's not you're not supposed to be stringent on everything and extreme on everything. There's what the Torah says and that's it. If somebody wants to be on stringent on certain things for themselves, that's fine. But to be stringent on yourself rather than, you know, is one thing then uh to teach other people to be stringent. Oh, the uh the drug addict is back. The guy that keeps promoting uh drugs, he keeps saying that the Torah is uh pro, you know, says it's allowed is unfortunately a uh very sick person. It's from the drugs. Rabbi, could you go further into this? But in New York some years ago, there was a Sadik who resuscitated a brain dead girl with prayers in ICU. I know nothing about it. Never heard of it. Is it true that the words of the Torah can give and add more life to a sick person? Absolutely true. twice. Rabbi, do you agree with this quote from the book says, "Hashem loves me just as I am. He loves his love has nothing to do with what I do and don't do. He loves me because that is the essence." No, it's it's false because it says that uh Hashem loves Jacob and uh also it says that Hashem hates the wicked. He pays them, he punishes them. So to say Hashem loves you no matter what is not true. It's not in accordance to the Torah. a cabalist. I don't know. Again, I can't comment on something I never heard. Okay. Okay. Let's see. Rabbi, is it true that the Messiah can only come when all Jews are in Israel? No, it's not true. Um, Messiah could come at any given moment, whether all the Jews are in Israel or not. And, uh, the reality is that all of the Jews have not been in Israel for thousands of years. uh you know the only time that all of the Jews were uh uh even close to being everybody in Israel was at the time of Yeshua Benoon but even then all of the Jews were not in in in the land of Israel because the uh couple of the tribes chose to settle outside of Israel. So it's um it's never happened before and it's not a requirement for Mashiach to come. If you look at the madic, it talks about the two ways the mashia can come and one way is if all of you know if all of the Jews do chuva then mashiah will come in a good way. If if they don't then hashem will send them ham or you know a leader an enemy leader like ham or to force people to do chuva. But at the same token that doesn't mean that everyone will do chuva. They're still going to be, you know, enemies of and uh but at no point does anybody uh say that all of the Jews have to to be in Israel in order for Mashia to come. It's not even a Torah obligation to live in Israel. You have many throughout all of history that lived outside of Israel. And uh modern day Israel is uh is it's a wonderful place, but it's not an obligation to live there. Uh we saw that Raadya was a rabbi in Egypt for a few years. The Rambam uh lived in uh in Egypt in Spain. Uh Rashi lived in France. The Talmud Bavi was written in in Babylon in Iraq. uh you know so I mean it's a uh if it was a Torah obligation for everybody to uh to live in Israel or requirement for uh everyone to be in Israel for the Msiah to come then uh you know things would be very very different not just now but throughout all of history where is the Messiah at this moment is he a man born into a So I'll answer with a couple of parts. Number one, Mashiach is definitely a man. He's definitely human being born uh you know with from parents, a father and a mother, a natural birth. It's not a uh some type of uh you know a uh divine birth like they have in the idolatrous world of Christianity. It's a regular human being that is one of the descendants of King David, you know, from the tribe of Yehuda and uh he has to fit certain requirements. The Rambam gives us in the requirements of who would be fit to even be a possibility of Msiah. Uh and everything I've just said is is included in there. And there's others. He has to be a to Torah, uh learn Torah to fulfill the will of Hashem, fight the wars of Hashem, and so on. Uh but that's part one. Second thing is the Messiah does not know that he's Messiah, that he's going to be selected to be Messiah until Hashem tells him, which is when the time comes. So a person could be a possibility of a Messiah. In every generation, there's a possibility of a Msiah. But if we don't have the merit or the time has not come then that person that was a possibility of msiach could live their life pass on and uh then some you know the the soul is brought back to the world again with a in a different body meaning that every generation has someone that is potentially could be the mashiach but he's not going to know any of that until Hashem actually chooses him. Uh now in order for somebody uh to uh to be Mashiach Mamash where they definitely are Msiah, they have to uh fight all of the enemies of of Israel. They have to bring all the Jews to Israel. They have to make Amish duchva. They have to uh build the beta mikdash. Uh you know, which again no one has ever done. Uh you know, and uh Mashiach is the only one that's going to be able to do all of these different things. Uh so as far as is there a uh a mashiach in the world right now? No. Not one not one that knows he is or has has been made aware that he is. Is there a soul in the world that uh could be the Messiah? Sure. In every generation there is. But again, they're only going to know once the time comes. Now, as far as this question that you've asked, where is Mashiach right now? Uh is not a new question. The Gar says that uh ben Levi one of the 10 uh people 10 righteous people that uh uh never died. He went to Ganedin alive. Uh he was uh such sadik that was his friend. Leah would constantly visit him, take him to different places, showed him ganed and you know even the satan the was friends with them. He showed him gay. Uh it's part of the ways that we know different details about gay. We know from Yeshua bin Levi. We know from uh the prophet Isaiah. We know from Mosher Abenu. Several different people went and saw Gom and reported to Amad what is actually there. The chambers the different uh forms of punishments and so on. And the same concept in uh in Ganedin. But the point being is that Yeshua Levie asked Leah uh where's Mashiach? Why is he coming? And Mashiach and said to him, "Go ask him where is he? He's at the gate of Rome." Gate of Rome. Now said this is not like gate of Rome like the country Rome, but rather there was a city at the time in Israel that was called Romi. And I think till this day there's there's a city or a town or something like that's called that. But anyway, uh he uh went over there and there was a tent full of sick people. Full of sick people. And uh all of them were injured from you know different diseases or war or you know there was a like a hospital and he saw that everyone and this is all in the Talmud. He saw that everyone is when they're when it's time for them to replace their bandages that are all over their body, they take off all of the bandages or let's say if it's on their arm or whatever, they take off all of the bandages and then they replace everything at once. But the the Messiah, he would replace only one at a time. He was bru, you know, he had bruises all over his world, which the midrash talks about how it's a has to do with uh uh different types of uh uh you know what, I'm going to skip that part to it's just too elevated to to explain to the public. But the point is this this uh uh the Mashiach was there shown to uh bin Levie and he would take off the bandages uh one at a time. One at a time. And Ben Levie came to him. He came to him, you know, my master, I have a couple questions for you. one is how come you uh you take your bandage off differently than everybody else and two when are you gonna come? And he told him, I take it off one at a time because at any moment God can decide for me to come to finally bring the salvation. And if I took off all the bandages at once, that would delay the salvation. So I take him off only one at a time. This obviously has a lot of you know uh mystical meanings and uh and uh different uh clarifications but I'm giving you the here of of what was said in he says when are you going to come? He says today. So was excited waited waited waited that day and he never came. So the next day or the next time that he saw he said what Mashiach lies says Mashiach did lie. What did he say to you? He says he's coming today. He says no, you didn't understand it. What the Mashiach was telling you is that I'm going to come today when you do chuva. When am does chuva on that day I'm coming. That's what he meant. Meaning that the uh the language obviously is not simple, not plain, but it's obviously everything has uh much more uh uh elevated meanings. But nonetheless, the uh the soul of the Messiah is in every single generation. Uh and that uh that uh that Mashiach that eventually selects and so on um is going to know only in essence when it's the time when it's time. But like I said, there could be somebody that's designated that's possible to be a Messiah. But if he does not fulfill all of the requirements, which is to fight the wars of God, build the beta mikdash, uh you know, bring uh you know, all of the uh 12 tribes together, which means that he has to find a bunch of tribes. We don't even know where they are in the world. Uh there's only just a few of the 12 tribes that we know of. There's a a little bit of Masha, a little bit of Beyamin, uh Yehuda, uh Levi, but there's a uh the majority of the tribes, we don't even know where they are. And the says that they are uh behind the uh the mountains. Um and but only uh only uh the Mashiah is going to know for sure who who is really a Ken, who is not, who is a Mam, who's not, who's really tribe of what. He's going to know all of these different things because, you know, going to give him certain abilities uh at at a certain point. uh and that he's going to be able to uh destroy the enemy simply with uh you know with uh the uh breath of his uh mouth uh just just simply uh by words you know he could look at uh the enemy Iran coming to attack and he says you know destroy and that's it they're all gone there's no there's no like tanks and and and planes and chemical weapons or anything like that so the point is is that there is a uh there's a whole teachings, there's a whole uh uh um you know process and uh there's uh we will merit to uh to to see it. It's waste. If art scroll and felheim don't carry the book Botto would it be possible to purchase it from Amazon if the publishers Alf Yeah. Botto is sold on Amazon. It's not sold by those. Yeah. Eating every herb in the in the field is extremely healthy. You're mentally challenged person. Say a lot of foolish things. You should get some help. Does Mashiach have to come before the year 600? Yes. But we have time before the year 600. But uh that doesn't mean that he's going to wait for the last second. Could be tomorrow. It's not good to focus on uh Mashiah coming all the time because if a person puts the majority of their uh belief in the Torah and uh and focus on learning Torah just about timing the Msiah, they could eventually lose uh lose um lose hope or lose steam because they're giving yet a uh the ability to um you know to make the mistake and uh you know where they let's say they think that Mashia is going to come in the next year or in the next 5 years or in the next 10 years and they have such high hopes for that to happen and if it doesn't happen you know this is a problem in fact this is something that Am is has uh has endured as a problem for many years people that focus too much on the timing of Msiah uh and you know many times they end up uh you know dropping the Torah because they lose hope because he didn't come or at the time that they thought. So the key is to understand that whether Mashiach comes tomorrow or next year or in 10 years from now our obligation to serve and get other Jews to do chuva and to fulfill the mitzvot is the same. And therefore a person should always uh do everything in their power to become more righteous. Do everything in their power to help as many people as possible to uh become more righteous. uh and uh the Msiach uh timing should not be their primary motivation because like I said uh many times when people make that their priority they're in essence giving themselves like a death sentence if you will uh because uh they uh at some point a person runs out of patience. So we have to expect the mashiah to come every single day but not operate our life in such a way where this is the only motivation we have. Our motivation should be that you know we have to serve Hashem. Does Judaism believe this world is flawed and evil? No. It's Hashem created the world. Why would it be flawed and evil? Uh Heashem created the world. The world has is called the the world. The world that we have things to do in order to perfect it. Hashem in essence made us partners in a creation that it's our obligation and our duty to perfect it to make it better. If Mashiach ben Ysef dies in battle, he cannot be Msiach because he dies without fulfilling the prophecy. That's not true. Mashiach Ben Ysef is uh can die and it does not uh contradict the prophecy because the Mashiah Ben Yusf is not the Mashiach Benavid. There are two different Msiahs and says that Mashiah Ben Ysef is going to live or die based on the merits of Israel. If we have the merit then he won't die and if we don't then he will. But uh the salvation ultimate salvation comes from mash bin Davidid. Is it better to die alone than to marry a wicked woman? Why can't you marry a righteous woman or make the wicked woman righteous? Are we really in the year 5786? Yes. If I still struggle with wasting seed, is it still possible to convert? Yes, according to Allah, you could still convert, but you certainly should uh overcome the obstacle and in order to have the merit to convert. Are we born born sinners or is that from the New Testament? You're born a baby. Whether you choose to be a sinner or not is based on what you do as a as an adult. not uh I mean as far as if a person is a uh sinned in their previous life before they came to this world because we're all reincarnations and certainly if you came to this world the uh the overwhelming majority of the uh people that are in the world are souls that have reincarnated from previous lives because they've sinned and they uh have not completed their tikun. there are very very few and uh you know nunes and those are usually extremely uh holy righteous people. They're not usually uh uh known to the public. Um but the point is is that virtually everybody is a uh reincarnation of somebody that has sinned and uh but at the same time merited having an being given another chance to fix it during this life. Could the wheat and the spelt at the end of the pala allude to the righteous Jews and Gentiles after Msiah comes? I mean it could be from the uh you know mid on it. I would have to look at uh I don't remember seeing it anywhere but um you know I mean it's a uh the Torah is endless every uh every verse every word has you know you know so it's four different you know aspects of the Torah and uh there's different rules of uh extrapolating meanings from it and the sages have given us all of the uh all of the different things that you have whether it's in the or it's in the midashim or it's in the cabalistic books but uh certainly it's possible but not not something that I uh that I remember seeing what does it mean and says that pig will be oh no it says pig is not going to become kosher. The explain that the uh the um nation of adom is s is a symbolized by the uh pig uh because they you know the pig shows like he's kosher because he has split hooves but he's really not. and the nation of Adom, you know, many of them are uh, you know, are going to convert to Judaism, but initially they are, you know, they they many of them grow up showing as if they are the the new chosen people, uh, the new covenant, uh, the, uh, you know, and so on. Uh, and the whole teachings of this, you know, the pig becoming kosher is not referring to an actual pig becoming kosher. It's the fact that many righteous people will come from the nation from the nation of Adam uh and convert to Judaism. I'm Chinese. If I convert, will I become from the tribe of Israel? Will my DNA change? Uh, you'll become the tribe of Israel. Yes. I mean, as far as um which tribe, meaning out of the 12 tribes, only the Msiah can decide what converts are going to be. Uh because you can't just decide you're going to be Yuda or you're going to be Ruven or something like else. So converts the actual tribes are going to be uh unveiled to us uh of which ones they are once the once the Msiah comes but certainly you are going to be once you convert you become a 100% Jew and in fact the obligation of a Jews to love a convert are even higher than the obligation of loving a natural-born Jew. uh and the Rambam writes that uh we are obligated to uh you know love each other that you you're obligated to love every Jew but when it comes to the converts we're obligated to love them even more in comparable to as much as we love God so if you convert then you become higher than what I am you know so as far as that's concerned but of course the conversion is uh not not the end result the conversion is simply part of the path. You have to live a righteous life. You have to be a righteous Jew. Now, as far as your DNA is concerned, uh to my knowledge, the DNA stays the same. Um you know, but the uh Katam writes that it's not only the soul of a convert that gets renewed, but there is a physical change. there is a physical change uh to uh to the person uh that uh will uh will happen once they convert and I can tell you uh from many different uh examples that I have seen myself from you know different converts that I've uh that I know that I've helped and so on there is a physical change there is a physical change it's not uh necessarily uh immediately uh uh noticeable but you see it happening you see it happening. There's different things that are physical changes that uh converts go through just like the said as far as whether it's DNA or not. Uh I haven't tested it. I haven't tested it. Wouldn't be surprised if there is. I just don't know of it. Is education not allowed in the religious Jewish community? Um, I'm just not not going to answer you because I know that if I answer you, you're going to cry be a crybaby and go to the social media police. But um you should know that you're mocking the most intellectual people on planet Earth, the most educated people on planet Earth to the point that you are closer to a monkey than you are to the intellect of a Bahu Shiva. Do you know of any sad that performed open miracles in times such as the Babasali? There's nobody like the Babasali. Uh Baba Sali is a uh you know a one of a kind. But is there open miracles? Yes. Is there miracles? Yes. Uh I mean I've hashem married to see it firsthand. Different people that uh you know I've received blessings either from myself and rabbi miracles. Certainly there's many miracles that uh have uh like Rafki uh you know and many other have uh have been publicized. So it's not a uh it's not a big secret uh that it exists but it's a uh it's not uh uh it's not to the same extent like the uh the uh to the previous generations like the Babasali uh but certainly there are miracles Rabbi, do you think there are Jewish women who would marry a convert? Plenty. Why not? I have many converts that married natural-born Jews. I actually even have a video uh on my channel of a wedding that uh we did for a guy that converted to a woman that was uh a natural-born Jew. Happens every day. Why not? Now, if you're going to ask me, would every Jewish woman marry a convert or every Jewish man marry a convert? No. Just like there is prejudice in every part of the world in a Jewish world and a non-Jewish world there's prejudice in regards to this. Some people prefer tea. Some people prefer coffee. Some people prefer uh shorts. Some people prefer uh you know tall. Some people prefer darker complexion. Some people prefer a lighter complexion. Some people prefer natural-born Jews. Some people prefer uh you know a uh convert. Uh, some people prefer a uh uh Ashkanazi, some people prefer a safhari. People have their preferences. But is there people that are natural-born Jews that marry converts? Absolutely. Every day. In fact, the majority of uh people that I know of at least and that I've heard of that are converts end up marrying natural-born Jews. Usually the only times that you see converts marrying each other is if they were married already before. Why don't we use the hat in the bathroom? Or we can use the keepa. The hat on top of the keepa is a custom. It's not an obligation. Why does the Torah say that if one blinds his fellow, he must repay him for his eyes, but if he leaves him deaf, he must repay for his whole body. The uh the um the value of certain things are are based on how much damage you're causing a person. How much could he function? How much can he uh how much he could do with without this loss or with this loss? Can you recommend a Talmudic book with a lot of action? I don't know what that means. What do you mean by a lot of action? What do you mean a Talmudic book? You mean a tract in the depend. It's it's based on you know who you are, what level you are. If you're new to the Talmud, that's one thing. If you are somebody that's already, let's say, learned half the shas, it's something else. If you've uh uh looking for something else, then Rabbi, is it good to say the same taleim over and over again? You can, but uh sometimes uh it's better to say different taling. Just do it, you know, read from the beginning to the end. Can you say the same over and over again? depends what affects your certain that uh especially the bal that uh one of the ways that they would uh work on themselves is they would pick a certain uh Mishna or statement of the sages and they would repeat it over and over again for hours until it became like engraved in their na. So if that's what you're you know trying to do then yeah say the same tim a million times but if you're trying to do something else like pray to Hashem then it's usually better to do different tail but again depends different person different circumstances rabbi do you agree with everything in the Talmud and is it a sin if I disagree with something in it it's not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing with the Talmud a Jew must believe everything that's in Talmud and to such an extent that anyone uh the is anyone that does not believe anything that's in the written or the oral Torah which obviously the main part of it is the uh Talmud is considered a heretic that has no share of the world to come. Now if you are not Jewish then uh you know it's the situation's slightly different for you. Uh but as far as Jews, Jews are obligated to believe the entire written and the oral Torah. Um and person who does not is considered a heretic and loses their so it's it's not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing. Okay, we've answered all the questions. Uh, okay. Last question. What should I read for Mousar and Alaka? Um, if you're a beginner and uh this will be your first uh Mousar book, I would suggest uh start off with Pavot. Get the uh Pavot. You can get the one by Art Scroll that has commentary on there. And I would actually even complement that by watching my series of um that uh actually goes over each Mishna in depth uh if you want to go that way. If you've already done and you want a specific type of Musar book, if you want something that's a easier to read but hits the spot, I would highly recommend the books by Raven. If you want things uh that are uh more um you know I guess say uh there's obviously the books by Vik Miller also uh matter of preference but if you want something that's more of the uh uh ancient teachings the more of the foundational teachings of Musar then I would go into Shah Chuva Shah Chuva is uh a lifecher And I think that anybody that reads Shalet Chuva and does not start crying within the first, you know, uh, several pages, let's call it even 20, 30 pages, um, should double check their pulse if they're still alive. Um, because it's a it's a very very good book. It's it's not about gruesome or anything like that. It's just it's it tells you exactly uh you know what's uh you know tells you the truth without sugar coating in any way shape or form. So shuva is uh very very good uh to say the least. Um if you're looking at something um again it depends it depends what what level you're at. It depends what uh um what you've already read but from what I understand you're probably new. So I would say uh if you are uh very very new you could start off with books by again he has many books you could get them at uh you know different websites online uh I think it's safarium center has his books and a few others have some of his books I we used to sell them but um we don't have any in stock right now but you can buy them online we've marketed them enough that other people have started carrying them. Um and uh Ravishim again's books are each one of them is full of kushim full of relevant every page every paragraph is is is a lifecher he was you know something something out of this world just incomparable to anything that uh you know you have in uh just something unbelievable. He was a genius he was you know a sadik. He was somebody that was able to explain uh things in such a way where you're like scared to death, crying and laughing all at the same time. So much like a uh amazing. So his books are uh you know very good and they're from his lectures and whoever translated them did a fantastic job. Translation is a lot harder than people think. Uh and whoever translated those books did a more than exceptional job. It's very very well written. Usually translations are uh you know unless they're done by uh a serious organization or very high level translator usually translations are off. They're hard. Even the Rambam's rights that uh translations are never going to be uh perfect. But the point is that there's very there's high quality translations and there's lowquality translations. I can tell you about for example my own personal experience. One time we tried having uh we hired somebody to translate uh a book for us and uh guess what the translation went right into the garbage and we've done it actually a couple times. Um once I read the translation I mean it's it's going to the shredder. Why? Wasn't good quality. Wasn't good quality. And uh um you know as far as you know translating it it's uh again it takes a lot of time takes a lot of time depends also on the context what kind of uh teachings and so on.
