says the beginning of wisdom is fear of the almighty meaning that someone who does not fear AEM cannot be considered wise why if someone is born into this world and they think that everything came from some explosion obviously you can't call them wise because they're crazy even the monkey knows that there's a Creator even the donkey knows that he has a balab he has an owner everyone knows there has to be something even if you want to believe in the whole theory of evolution you still can't explain where the first cell came from so if it came from somewhere obviously there has to be a Creator so if the Creator was able to create one cell why are you limiting him at one cell why couldn't he create a whole world so once you know that there's a Creator and then you could easily get to fast forward and realize that the Creator had to give us an instruction set and the instruction set is the tah which there's ways to prove as I mentioned before uh for anyone that wants wants to watch that lecture it's already online it's called Uh Torah science and ancient wisdom bunch of Torah proofs that I have in the lecture um once you realize the Creator gave an instruction set you see what the Creator says in this instruction set and you see that okay I have to do certain things once you realize that for him to fulfill all of your desires whether it's p or it's or it's a or it's anything for you to just be able to breathe is a miracle it's 100% miracle for you to be able to breathe it's actually 100% miracle that you're even here I'll give you some small example scientifically each one of you is was told by some doctor at some point or at least on some commercial you should eat a lot of protein that's why they feed you so much meat you should eat protein right they say proteins healthy now so that means that your body is full of trillions and trillions and trillions of proteins now each one of these proteins has to fold something called a protein fold and it has to fold in a precise way an exact way not like a man folds his t-shirts like fold in a precise way and what happens if it doesn't fold in a precise way if one out of all of the trillions and trillions and trillions of proteins you have in your body folds in a a little off 5 degrees off to the right 5 degrees off to the left it's not like bad it's like a little bit off you lose vision you lose the ability to breathe you can't walk you can't live all sicknesses start there one protein not 10 or 50 million or one so the very same one that created the Heaven and the Earth is also responsible for folding these proteins once we realize that the same one is responsible for these proteins folding the right way how could you not be scared how could you not be scared when you realize how much he's responsible for so the beginning of wisdom is fear of the almighty a healthy Jew has to have a certain level of fear reason why is because kazal tells us a connection to AEM there's two types of connections to hm there's and there's love of hem and there's fear of hem we're obligated by the 613 to do both of them but if you look at the Torah the entire Torah and you compare the ratio of how often it talks about fear of hem versus loving Hashem the ratio is 100 to one if not more meaning to fear Hashem is mentioned at least a 100 times or more for every one time it mentions loving hasem reason being is because HZ says that if your connection to is only based on fear it's only based on fear then it's an incomplete connection it's a connection but it's incomplete a complete connection will be both fear and love love but if it's a connection that's just based on love and no fear then it's no connection at all meaning it cannot happen it cannot exist it cannot be because you can't love something if you don't know what it is and if you knew what it is of course you would fear it so someone can't say listen I love this woman who I don't know how can you love it then you understand so it's the same thing withm once you know even a small 1% of what we can know even about once we know just about this protein thing we talked about or the fact that the name of hem is inside your DNA or the fact that Hashem is responsible for every single move that you make anything and everything that hasm is responsible once you know even a quarter of of a quarter of a quarter of percent of how much you rely on this hasem of course you're going to fear and to have this fear is necessary because Hashem specifically came to us in Mount siai and he gave us the Ten Commandments before he gave us the rest of the Tor he gave us Ten Commandments now if you notice when we got the Ten Commandments at some point the Jewish people said please tell them to stop or else we'll die please tell him to stop talking or else we're going to die why you is talking you want him to stop talking no one ever heard no p no religion ever started the same way as Judaism it's the only religion in history the only people in history that were a bunch of people more than one even that were able to listen to Hashem speak was just the Jewish people so now that you finally heard him in public you want him to stop and to such an extent you're saying stop or else we're going to die sounds a little extreme so why are they saying it because hashem's hashem's voice was so holy and so scary that they all died when they heard the first commandment and Hashem brought them back to life and then they heard the second commandment and they all died again and they brought him back to life and then they said please stop him from talking or else we'll die because they already died twice they felt the the the pain of death go up to the mountain listen to whatever he says yourself they telling Moses we will do and then we will listen meaning you tell us what to do and then we'll we'll hear it for whatever he says but we can't we don't want to feel the pain of death anymore so what does Moses answer them he hem is only scaring you so you don't make sins meaning the scare tactic the gome the punishment the scary stuff it's not my strategy it's not unique to me it's AEM strategy he gave you all of these things and he wrote it in the Torah in many many places nearly half the Torah talks about punishment most people don't teach it because it's not politically correct to scare people but this is why 80% of am is does not even know what Shabbat is so it doesn't work this nice tactic but Hashem is scaring us so wake up
