if it's two Idol worshippers then the favorite is based on people's opinion this vote that vote who has more marketing dollars that's that's that's where you go you go with that party but if it's between two Jews his wisdom Hashem created the world with a plan beyond our understanding unfolding over time he formed it all in a single breath perf Harmony stretched out creation days shabat okay [Music] blue one of the [Music] new was theast we see that's on our new Chua Music Channel on YouTube also on Spotify and Apple pretty much everywhere you can get music you get the songs watch the

his glory to Eternal heavens above of sea everything Whispers of his majesty again with wisdom with a PO so small expanding space till he [Music] deare we are back here on our Tuesday night War amalik series started off with one of the amazing songs from our new chuva Music Channel and for those of you that are asking about whether you're permitted or not permitted to uh say the uh Holy Name El shakai but usually it's say it's spelled and uh pronounced with a d uh it's permitted to do it in that particular song because all we're doing is repeating exactly the words of the gar but to just simply say it is not allowed soem we always follow and double check everything we do a few times with with and we succeeded so anyone that wants the support could easily go to our website.org or bh.org can order the uh kiru cards uh for the uh new Umar posters on kir store.org uh you get it for free to distribute in your community but we're going to get started and succeed now we have learned quite a bit from Vasan over the last 10 years we had a whole entire series uh the era of mssiah that we learned from him of what to do during the times before mashia and then of course the times we are facing right now which is not only the times before mashiah but actually the war of amalik and in the last uh segment of this series which was last week told us that uh the Satan will get righteous people righteous people busy with MIT as long as they don't learn tah as long as they don't teach to that's going to help people do Chua in so many words a Mitzvah from the Satan now tonight's sh is a continuation and a buildup of that one because what can we learn Le from the Satan's Messengers The Wicked people the wicked Heretics the idolators initially if you've heard my lectures over the years you've heard many times that you're not allowed to learn from Heretics and while it doesn't take a genius to know that learning from a wicked person is typically a bad idea only the great sages of our tah could actually Enlighten us with the exception the exception to the case and after ofas showed us that the Mitzvah traps of the Satan are literally there to get us to do mitv just as long as we miss the purpose tonight he's going to show us what gives this Satan's big lies fuel enough fuel to exist how do these lies last for 2,000 years for, 1400 years for a couple of hundred years whether you want to start off with the lies of Christianity or the lies of Islam or the lies of Zionism or the lies of the Heretics whatever lies are there certainly there's something that's fueling them certainly there's something that is making people believe that they're true what is it what is it that's giving these people the ability to continue lying in people's faces while still having a straight face now through this we're going to actually go on a journey in order to understand how to determine whether the especially that we're doing kindness that we're doing is what hasem wants from us or is actually a trap of the Satan and even when we're actually supposed to do these mitv there are sometimes a unique Mitzvah what's this unique Mitzvah a Mitzvah of making a sin Yes you heard me right there's a Mitzvah of making a sin a sin in order to save somebody else from sinning now again this also sounds like something that's forbidden and if you look at the it will tell you that you're not allowed to make a sin in order to save your friend from a sin so how could it be that rabi ruv now is changing his mind is he making a new Torah absolutely not we don't make any T but we've told you many times the tells us that we don't learn one specific subject in the T from One Source the Torah is no different than your nervous system where every single nerve is connected to the rest of the body every every single part of the to is connected to the rest of this nervous system of the Torah body and when you connect them you connect the dots you understand the all-encompassing lesson that is not just one point there are many different factors there are exceptions to the case there are times where a rule it has to be enforced and there is a time where a rule actually is not allowed to be enforced and there's times to even change the rules that the sages were allowed today we're not allowed to change anything today we just have the rules but the point being is is that there's a deeper understanding in the certain M that is required for us to succeed in doing C required for us to succeed in helping our brothers and sisters get closer to Hashem and requires for required for us to succeed in order for us to build ourselves up in our servitude of hem it's a deep comprehensive sh that we're going to learn together and it's specifically for people that are smart if you are not smart if you are one of these people that is looking uh just for jokes this is not the Sho for you now this week's parasha is of course a beautiful parasa where we learned the continuation of the story of yov ainu after leaving the house of lvan and now he's about to meet his brother but it's not your typical brother that loves you it's not your typical brother that cares about you but quite the opposite it's the brother that wants to kill him and in this extraordinary meeting we learn a lot of lessons from yov of how to act at the times of War how to act at the war of Amal we learned this in the series by uh of the of mashia we've learned it in the beginning of this particular series War of and today the lessons that ra is teaching us are actually based also on this week's only a Divine hand could really have uh things so precise so before we go into the Paras we have to first continue the idea from last week which is that the Satan is going to try to do whatever he can to keep you busy to keep your good righteous people busy but busy with MIT why would the Satan ever want you to do because the Satan is going to try to either have you busy yourself with the MIT that are of lesser importance than the mitvah that is necessary so he'll get you busy with mitvah of let's say getting the community together or getting a few friends together to make kala or perhaps even uh you know giving somebody a ride to the airport or perhaps going to a far away grave of a righteous person to go pray there instead of getting people to learn Torah instead of supporting uh people that learn tah instead of teaching Torah instead of doing things that will actually transforms people's lives from being Wicked people into be being righteous people and a Satan wants you to busy yourself he wants your Rabbi to busy himself he wants the uh Torah Scholars of your community to busy themselves with these mitv that are good and every other opportunity except that one because when they do it at the wrong time it's the wrong Mitzvah it actually empowers the Satan and of course we all know that the Satan also if he doesn't succeed in giving somebody a treat of a mitvah to go do in order for them to avoid learning to in order for them to cancel a sh in order for them to cancel an event then what is he going to do he's going to give them problems he's going to give them obstacles to make the sh more difficult to do he'll make them feel terrible as if they're dying he'll make all types of financial issues I'll make all types of other issues just to get them to lose their steam just to get them to lose their energy because they're exerting so much of it just simply to survive the Satan in so many words will do everything possible in order to get us to miss the target one of the that uh wrote about this uh wrote about this in his uh SE called this was one of the and he wrote it in a sepher called T in page 76 in his commentary on the song of songs and he writes based on the verse in the song of songs chapter 3 verse number six where the schl says who is this ascending from the desert its way secured and smoothed by palm-like pillars of smoke so the niiv is asking what is this talking about what is schl talking about here schl is saying this is referring to the Torah Scholars the leaders of the generation that were going around the city doing doing CID this is why they're you know this is it's talking about righteous people this is a people that are the people that were ascending from the desert meaning this is butl is not coming to them with compliments he's saying they're walking like uh pillars of smoke why what's the pillars of smoke he says these leaders of the Jewish people were doing were doing kindness and SCH is coming to them with a complaint of why are they doing this m what is this why are you doing this this is certainly the Jewish people but why are they doing what they're doing why is it referring to those that are uh coming from the dead desert it's to tell you that it's not just regular Jews but rather those that are in their generation the equivalent of is that was in the desert D the generation of knowledge we all you know learning tah nonstop all literally prophets all heard and saw the words of Hashem at Mount SII this was a unique generation he says in every generation we have those types of leaders we have those people that learn Tor that know Torah that teach Tor but I'm coming to them with the complaint you are the people of this generation that are the equivalent of the generation of mosenu so why are you doing wait a minute isn't doing a good thing isn't it a mitvah says the is coming to them with the complaint saying those of you that are coming from the desert that are supposed to be lovers of hem and show your love of hem due to your dedication to the Torah why are you like pillars of smoke spreading yourselves everywhere doing lots of lots of kindness even though this is a good thing to do it's not for you to do because we all know that learning Torah is greater than doing when that could be done by other people meaning that yes you helping people get to the airport have a uh party where uh making people feel good making kala together you know visiting somebody in the hospital all of these nice things that you're doing great but why are you doing it this could be done by somebody else you can send somebody that's not a Torah scholar to go give somebody a right to the airport you can get somebody else to uh host a Kala party you can do all of somebody else can do them why you why are you the leaders doing this it's not right for you to do it because you're learning to is much greater how did you fall for the Satan's trap in abandoning your Torah to go do a MIT that he wants you to do and from there the naiv tells us from here we learn how strong the Torah is against the evil inclination against the yet who is going to create everything and anything possible for those those that delve in t those that learn T to for them to toil in something else such as even even kindness just to get them to go do that and not learn toah and this not only teaches us about how tricky how conniving how evil the evil inclination is but also how strong learning toah is and that's why we have to strengthen ourselves in this particular case of learning more Tor so nowas continues the next segment and says the the holy who was the main R of of el gave commentary on the the words of yobu which words the ones that are said at the beginning of our par in the Book of Genesis in chapter 32 veres 4 and five where Yu sends the Angels ahead of him him to asav his brother and he tells them go and tell asav I have sojourned with Lavan I lived with Lavan and I've lingered until now okay what's the special value of these few words that you lived with lean why don't you just wait and tell asav yourself why would asav even care that you lived with lean in fact after you left isab immediately knew you went to lean and he specifically didn't go after you to kill you because you went to lean so what's the whole thing about you telling them about lean lean was the biggest criminal in the world world but it was also the master of Witchcraft he had two Idols that his daughter Rael eventually stole from him and the idols were the heads of firstborn men that he killed and used their heads in order to create a certain Idol that would speak and tell him the future so when isav knew that yov went to Levan's house even though he wanted to kill yov he refused to go and and and uh risk being in the presence of lvan because he knew that he was a firstborn so he's afraid that Lan's going to kill him and chop off his head and turn it into an idol so obviously as knew that you went toan why are you telling us that or you telling isav that you lived with LAN says the Rashi tells us I went and I lived with lean but I did not learn from his actions Iman I lived withan if you rearrange the letters it also spells tag is stands for the 613 mitv the word g where lived has the same numerical value as 613 so Rashi tells us 900 years ago that yov is telling isav although I live with the most wicked person on planet Earth leevan I still fulfill the 613 mitv and I did not learn from his evil ways now there's a couple of questions here the first question is how did yob fulfill the 613 if there was no bet mdash you can't bring the you're not a Ken and if you're quen then you're not Isel and if you're Isel you're not a woman so how can you fulfill the 630 mitv when there's clearly certain mitv that are only for Kim or only for leev or only for is or only for a male or only for a female you know there's plenty of mitv here that no one could do all of them so how how are you saying that you actually fulfilled all of the as teaches us the our Patriarchs fulfill the entire T how can they fulfill the entire Tor the same way you can fulfill the entire Torah by learning about it when you learn about the Mitzvah it's as if you are fulfilling the Mitzvah when you are learning about the about the sacrifices it's as if you are bringing a sacrifice to the bet mikdash when you're learning about the of theim it's as if you are acting as a qu at that moment is you're fulfilling even if you're is so what yov is telling is even though I was surrounded by the idol Tre in the filth of laan that did not stop me from learning the entire T continuing to learn the entire T just like I learned with abah my grandfather my father and also at the yes of and ever that I did for 14 years I continued even at the house of lean despite his evil actions so the first question is answered but the second second question is okay so you didn't learn from his evil ways why is this even mentioned why would asav care that you didn't learn from his evil ways now certainly you could show that just like he didn't influence me you're not going to influence me but there is also another meaning that the says here yobu is not telling as that he lived with lean and didn't learn from his evil ways in order to show off but rather he is moaning he is crying he is not happy about the circumstance why is he not happy says in the name of the because the yob is moaning here he's crying out he's crying out on himself why is he crying out on himself he says look even though I learned and I did and I prayed I still did not get myself to serve hem with such excitement with such Joy with such dedication as Lavan is dedicated to doing evil things Lavan is so deep inside the sitra the the Satan the the world of evil that he literally does evil with joy and as much as I love hem as much as I fear Hashem my servitude of hem was not as a dedicated as lean's servitude of the Satan so here the teaches us something extraordinary where we can learn from everyone even the wicked people when you see a wicked person do evil things with joy there is something for you to learn from that if he is enjoying his evil if he is enjoying lying and stealing and committing adultery and all the horrible things and he's doing it with a smile on his face needless to say we should do the same if not much more when we're doing the right thing in fact the admor mik was asked One Time by one of his uh community members one of his talim why is it that the Heretics the idolators are succeeding when we're the ones that have the truth says the admo mot that did not skip a beat and he tells his people that's because those Heretics those Idol worshippers they are toiling to push their lies as if their lies are true and we are so lethargic so lazy with our truth that when we push it we push it as if it's a lie you know when someone is typically is the decent person but they say they they're about to say a lie they hesitate he says unfortunately the Heretics the Liars the idol worshippers they're pushing their idol worship their heresy as if it's true as if they're committed they're passionate about it as if they just rediscovered the wheel but we that actually have the truth we that actually know the truth that live the truth we're not working as hard as them in fact if you compare the two it looks like we are pushing a lie not the truth because we're hesitant we're scared oh what are people are going to say if I tell them the truth about reward and punishment oh what are people going to do if I to rebuke them oh what are are people still going to invite me if I tell them that they're doing certain things wrong and technically they need to do children oh am I going to be popular on the internet am I going to get likes if my videos are telling people that uh they're not exactly the sadik they think that they are there's a lot more work to do oh am I going to be invited to events am I going to be invited to Torah platforms am I going to be popular or am I going to be up to date and and and and uh you know everybody's best friend are people going to like me the only reason you're thinking these things is because you're in essence falling for the Trap of the Satan you're worried about popularity you're worried about people's acceptance you're worried about the Satan you're not worried about your connection to Hashem you're not worried about saving your brothers and sisters from disconnecting from Hashem so when you are teaching your Torah in that way don't be surprised if there is no success you may succeed in being popular you may succeed in being invited to events and being a speaker that gets $50,000 of speech but to actually help people transform their lives and do chuva you will never succeed why because this type of mentality of being afraid to push tell the truth of the Torah is exactly what the Satan wants you to do whenit was a young boy it's well known that uh the was a troublemaker very clever very very smart and sharp but he was a big troublemaker and even when he got older one of the things that is a common theme with the stories of IIT is how sharp he was when he would address different Heretics or Idol worshippers that went head-to-head with him like one time he had to meet with one of these uh pastors and uh the pastor was sitting at the end of the table when RIT came in and this anti-semitic Pastor starts the conversation with with a statement what's the difference between a Jew and a dog and without skipping a beat tells him the table of course the pastor didn't like this but this is how clever he was he was this clever even when he was young and one time his father rebuked him told him I don't understand why you waking up so so late it's 10:00 even those that are going to pray to Idols in the churches they already woke up at 6 o' at 5:00 in the morning to go serve their Idols why are you still in bed at 10 says younga that yet that evil inclination that gets them help to go wake up at 4:00 in the morning to go serve their Idol it's the same yet that gets me to sleep for more than what I need to the same yet how you going to answer a kid like that I'm over sleeping because of the yet the same you just talked about so is telling us here the works very hard and he's very clever and Yu wanted us to know that the has these Messengers has these soldiers that are serving him by making sins and we can learn from those people what should we learn from them we can't learn from their lectures we can't learn from their books we can learn from their dedication to evil from their excitement in doing evil that if they're so excited to do their evil things that eventually they're going to get punished for needless to say we should be excited when we are praying to Hashem when we're putting on to fill in when we're giving when we have an opportunity to do a Mitzvah the that we're going to get rewarded for and yov was moaning over the fact that as much as he dedicated his life to learning toah to to to everything to do with hem still he did not reach the level of excitement as the wicked lvan and how he has in doing evil but the question Still Remains if y knows that the yet that the evil inclination that is helping L is also the same evil inclination that is holding him back that's holding yov back from serving hasem even better than what he was why is he moaning it's not that you don't want to serve AEM better clearly you do you're obviously you were fulfilling the entire Tor even before the Tor was given to is you were filling the entire Tor just to prepare yourself to go and see laan for 14 years he didn't sleep in a bed so the only reason why you're not serving hem with the highest level of excitement comparable to Lavan is because the evil inclination obviously is getting in the way it's empowering laan by making him excited to do sins so it's helping him be even more excited than what he naturally is is and he's also holding you back by keeping you busy with problems you wanted to get married gave you the wrong girl you wanted to have a uh children there was difficulties there you wanted to pay for bills there were difficulties there lean kept cheating you all types of issues so obviously the Satan is keeping you busy if not by getting you to waste your time on lesser Good Deeds than what you're supposed to then waste your time by taking away all your energy by busying you with obstacles cheating you with money cheating you with this cheating you with that so why are you upset it's all the evil inclination there's nothing you can do the answer is as I learned from my very dear the strength of the tum the strength of the impurity is the strength of the LIE meaning that the Tuma the impurity of the world it's connected to the LIE the stronger the LIE the stronger the impact the LIE has now the inab page 104a says to us the word she the word she which is the one here in red the way that it's written you would see that it looks like it's standing on one leg even though this is flat and this is a single leg here but we see that there's one leg that goes below from the letter so this is to show that a lie a she stands on one foot it doesn't have much strength she doesn't last forever sheer is something that dies over time the weaker the she the weaker the LIE the quicker it disappears because if it's weak then it doesn't generate much Tuma much impurity and it disappears The Kusa of the world the of the MIT defeat it on the other hand the word em em we see has stability the ALF has has two legs so has stability the me has a wide base two legs has stability the tough have two legs stability that's because the truth the truth last forever now here we see you have the K that's the legs that's holding the shekel and the word a each one of the letters holds its own and in fact what if somebody tries to bury the truth by telling people that uh there's no rewarded punishment that punishment is limited because eventually everyone will go to heaven that uh God could uh you know has become a human that uh some guy that's illiterate spoke to some to an angel in the desert and uh got the permission to create a whole new religion all types of foolish lies out there these lies don't last these lies don't last but if you take the truth the reward and Punishment M really is one of the foundational principles of the tah but you don't tell that to people that GOM could be 12 months could be 12 million years could be endless but you don't tell them that that wasting seed is a sin from a t mentioned literally in every aspect of the Torah so much so that it's part of the Ten Commandments you don't tell people that you're hiding the truth that the wigs that women are wearing today in order to fulfill a Mitzvah of covering their hair are forbidden because they're coming from idolatry of India but you don't tell them that you tell them it's coming from uh Brazil as if a single Brazilian woman would ever shave her head even for money you lie there's lies and the truth is hidden says says in Psalm 85 verse the will Sprout from the earth even if you hide it even if you throw dirt on it even if you bury it deep deep down two or three generations of Lies two or three generations of simply not telling people the truth eventually the truth of a the truth of the it will Sprout from the ground and it will be even bigger than what it was before the verse is not just telling us that the truth will Sprout from the ground but as I said before AIT is also has the first letter of each one of the words is meaning the same verse that tells you that the truth will never disappear you can hide it you can pretend it doesn't exist you can bury it but eventually is going to expose it to the whole world the very same verse also has the word emit in it it's not just the first word but it's literally inside the words the first letter of the first letter of the first letter of here we see the divine intervention involved in every part of the Torah whether it's the and how gives us the to teach the about that was written 80 years ago byas that mentions a source from this week's par at the same time or it's where his statement of truth the truth will never disappear also has truth in it so now the question is yov knows that the the the gets strength as the LIE grows but we also know that the LIE does not have enough fuel to survive so while the truth has a guarantee to survive so how is it that the big lies that have been around for hundreds of years and in some cases thousands of years that have billions of people still following them how can they still be around you see if she doesn't have legs to stand on on its own because the LIE eventually people discover the truth so what do the wicked people do what do the messengers of the Satan do they go and steal some truth from the holy people they go steal some truth from the world of Kusa and they steal this Kusa and added to their lies so so now their big fat lie has truth in it and that truth gives the LIE fuel to exist for longer the Tuma the impurity is giving Life by acquiring Kusa and the way that it acquires kadus is getting righteous people to go do of the Satan instead of them teaching the truth instead of them getting people to do chuva instead of them fulfilling the Torah in the level that they're supposed to it gets them to go do mitv that somebody else can do MIT that are not for them the rabbi is not supposed to go and uh clean out the bathroom the rabbi is not supposed to gather all of the uh parents outside to make sure everybody's in line for the trip that they're going to go to the park the rabbi is not supposed to be there sitting there doing absolutely nothing while everybody's eating sfot and chitchatting about sports during the Hanukkah party that's not the rabbi's job the rabbi is not supposed to do these the rabbi is supposed to teach to the rabbi is supposed to learn to but when the rabbi Falls when the community Falls when the community doesn't want the rabbi to learn to they want him to be one of them those MIT go to the Satan another way by the way that the Satan acquires fuel from Holiness is when Bim people that learn Torah waste seed when they waste seed they Lo all of the learning Torah that they got all of Thea they generated learning Torah now goes to the side of the that's what the Z says so we see that the lies are empowered by stealing by stealing truth this is why the works so hard to get righteous people to fall not by making big sins and going to casinos and clubs and and stealing money no he gets righteous people to Fall by getting them to do MIT to keep them away from what they're supposed to be doing is trying to tell us that it's not enough for you to learn toah for me to learn toah but rather we have to know what to do with our talents our abilities how each person needs to use their resources whatever abilities or talents they have because if you just simply act based on whatever feels good certainly you are making yourself very vulnerable to fall into the Satan's hands one of the examples of how D works is when a community came to to ask him for advice about who to vote for this community was having major problems there was in essence a war Civil War within the community where there was the religious dedicated to the torat part of the community and then there was those that went off the D that became free world mentality and literally enemies of aah and the fighting between the two sides got to a point where both had leaders that went for political positions because they knew that if they get political positions in the countries they were living in they'll be able to become the stronger part of this uh of this fight so the religious community came toas and asked them who should we vote for because we're scared that uh right now it looks pretty clear that these freethinking Heretics are in the lead they're much more popular with the go with the others it looks like they're going to win so if we vote against them then uh they're going to take revenge against us after they win so maybe it's better that we go and compromise with them and say listen let's make peace even though we have different beliefs at the end of the day we're both Jewish we follow Hashem you follow your idolatry no problem do what you want but let's live in peace why fight or do you think that we should still push for the religious leader says to them I'll tell you what theim said theet said that if you are in a country where there are two Gentiles that are fighting for control some political position who should the Jewish Community vote for vote for the one that's winning the one that's favored to win that's who you should vote for he never said anything about vote for the one that uh is more favorable or Le no no no vote for the one that's favored to win be on the winning team so if you're there hopefully you'll benefit from the win too even if you don't like him you don't agree with them and whatever it is go vote for them so now the Jewish commun hears this from says oh okay so what the r is saying to us in regards to applying that story to our situation so we're right by going to vote for the heretic right no you aren't listening the says go and vote for the favorite said yeah but the heretic is it has more votes right now you're not understanding if it's to go if it's to Idol worshippers then the favorite is based on people's opinion this vote that vote who has more marketing dollars that's that's that's where you go you go with that party but if it's between two Jews and one of them is a heretic and the other one has and observes the Tor then of course the one that's observing the Torah is a f favorite because he has a Shem with him is there anything better than having a Shem of course he's the favorite that's how we learn how D works the average person thinks oh favorite is based on what I saw in the news in a New York Times and the CNN and some other Lefty liberal anti- Tor media out there says no no no no no you have to know when to apply these rules based on a specific circumstance es that's why have been leading us generation after generation just like says is the sages of is are like the wings of the dove where as beautiful as the dove is if it does not have wings it dies our sages are our wings so now when we are back to this matter at hand we see that the Satan is going to work extra hard to get righteous people to fuel the lies of the wicked people the wicked people already already want to spread lies but how are the wicked people going to have strength to do that how is the wicked people that's preaching idolatry going to acquire any level of Holiness when righteous people fail in their task when righteous people do not fulfill their role instead of doing mitv to serve AEM they're doing mitv and they're serving this Satan and yov was crying about the fact that as much as he loved theem he says I could do better I could do better because if Lavan can serve his idols with such excitement I have to learn with such I have to serve hem with such excitement but the yet is a new way yeah the is in the way because apparently it's some point or another I did not generate enough Kusa to defeat him now when we look at the message that has been telling us throughout this specific series especially he's telling us that the war of amalik could only be one with more Torah in the world more people doing chuva and learning toah that's the only way the war is being won the reason why the war still exists and we're not even winning is because despite the fact that there are people with good intentions people that are good people righteous people we're not fulfilling our jobs to the fullest potential because a lot of time is being wasted either doing things that shouldn't be done by those people or appealing to the crowd instead of serving Hashem now what about if getting people to do chuva means you have to take risks where the famous sadik of Gman when he started his career building the city of mdal where he didn't start with building anything he started by going from B with this strl With His kidish Garment with his Kusa with his Torah as a young man and he went to literally a City full of criminals and he went to their places he went to what was called a discotek like a similar to a nightclub because that's where the Young people were and he got them to all look at him what is this Rabbi doing here what is this religious guy doing here and he started talking to them befriended them started teaching them tah and before you know it he literally built one of the holiest cities in the world to this day the city is growing and he did it by doing things that are seemed wrong seemed illegal according to but that's only for people that are uninformed of to you see on one end we say here as what the na said that in the name of SCH that SL was rebuking the righteous people the the Torah Scholars the rabbis the leaders they were overall righteous he was rebuking them for doing instead of learning to because the they can do could be done by other people at the same token we all know that helping another Jew do chuva is the ultimate so how could it be to help somebody do chuva being the ultimate is not actually part of this equation in fact helping people do chv is the reason whyman and other throughout history were not only permitted but we're also applauded and celebrated due to the fact that they took permissible risks in order to get people to do chuva meaning they di their feet into the world of lies in order to bring their brothers out of them how writes in the introduction to in the introduction he says why is it that calls abami my beloved Abraham now even though there were many righteous people that are written in the Torah in fact not just talking about after aam even before aam says that no he was he was complete but he's not called my beloved was the king of the world Kan dedicated himself to AEM to such an extent that he literally taught the entire world the truth about Hashem initially started with a small group once they heard there his wisdom words spread that even the kings of all the countries heard about him they started attending and initially he would teach them every day everyone wanted to hear this extraordinary wise person they started doing Chua they started learning they started understanding not to pray the statues but yet is not called my beloved why is that because the continuation of Kan Story the mid says is that although he started by teaching every day and he literally they decided that he's the king he became king of all the kings in this world he then started teaching once a week because he wanted to dedicate more time to learning learning Torah learning about hasem dedicating more of his time elevating himself elevating his own Holiness so he said I'll teach them once a week instead of once a day and as he got more and more holy closer and closer to more and more prophecy he wanted even more because this is sweeter than honey you just want more the more Torah wants a person taste the sweetness of tah literally it's it's something that is more addictive than anything else in the world there's never enough you want more of it the more to you learn the more T you want the only people that don't want to people that don't know what the sweetness of the even tastes like so wanted to elevate himself even further so now he said I'll teach them once a month and spend the rest of the month elevating myself to serve hasem but before you know it got to a point he only teaching them once a year and at that time hasem said to him you've elevated yourself beyond the generation's need you're not helpful to the generation anymore come with me come and he turned Kan into an angel and says even though hasem took him even though he was righteous he's not called my beloved by hasem butam is why is called my beloved says the thatu was actually capable of elevating himself even more than abah ainu was capable of elevating himself much more than what he ended up doing but he did not and he could not elev at himself even further because he was busy doing barbecues he was busy cooking hamburgers he was busy being the host in the hotel he was busy washing the feet of the guests he was busy giving basic level to ignoramuses to teach them about reward and Punishment to teach them about Gom to teach them about the basics of knowing what the Creator is z says what did AB teach the people that came to him to eat he would teach them about Gom once you know that there's a punishment there's a consequence then your heart opens up to acquire more knowledge when you don't know the consequences for your evil actions there's no reason for your heart to desire more to more righteousness so abah ainu was teaching basic level Torah to people people that knew nothing they were Idol worshippers cooking them hamburgers and and steaks cutting salad being the host in a fancy hotel why don't you go and learn more and Elevate yourself more I don't have time why not because I have to go take care of these uh three Arabs that came from a desert even though I'm in pain just had a bre mil three days ago I got to go take care of these Arabs I got to go cook them three caps isn't it better for you to go Elevate yourself go prophecy no it's not better says the the reason why Abraham is called Abraham my beloved is because Abraham sacrificed his own growth for the sake of saving the people of this world for the sake of saving hashem's creation andad says abam he's my beloved because what he did was what I wanted him to do it was not for his best interest for his benefit for his profit but rather for the sake of serving me whereas Kan yes he served me but not in the ideal way he didn't go and gather my kids he didn't go and gather the people he stop teaching them because he thought it was beneath him in fact that means that AB a could have learned more Torah could have learned more K says that and yov learned every single day together for 15 years for 15 hours per day imagine abah and yov are learning together for 15 hours per day for 15 years years in a row the but yet they could do even more but they didn't abah didn't why because he had to be the host he had to do kir he had to get people to do chuva so we see that makes the forefather of am is because Abraham cared about hashem's children hashem's creation and not just himself in fact when it comes to caring about hashem's children the tells us in page 32b tells us there's a mitvah of giving from the crops now if you buy this produce or fruit whatever you're buying from an an ignor an ignorant Jew then in those times that would mean that you have to give Mel you have to take 10% of what you bought from the ignorant Jew and give it as Mel why that was his that was he was supposed to give the the owner of the original owner of all this was supposed to give it yes but since he's an ignorant Jew he's not learned it's known that they are not careful with giving the tithe off of their off of their produce off of their uh crops so since you are a Torah scholar you go and give it but that means that I'm paying 100% for 90% yes okay fine now what happens if an ignorant Jew comes and uh needs help from you he needs some crops he needs some fruits some vegetables he needs food and you are knowledgeable in tah you're a Torah scholar now you know that if you give him you just took it out and if you give him something he has to give M he has to give a tithe out of it to the BET mikash to the Le and so on there whole but he's an ignoramus he's not going to do it so what happens is it your problem is it his problem says thear it's your problem in fact it's so much your problem that you as the Torah scholar have to give that tithe on behalf of the meaning you just gave him let's just say $10,000 dollar worth of crops you now have to take a thousand from your own pocket and donate it so now it means that it cost you 11,000 wait a minute says the the mitvah of the mitvah of giving a m tithe from the crops it's really supposed to be done in a specific way number one the Torah commands us to give this Mel but the sages also decreed that the M that the tithe should be given in such a way when it's given from the crops where you wrap your arms around it and then you take out the 10% out of it so obviously if you gave this 10,000 worth to this ignoramus and he walked away with all of it and he's going to go eat it he's going to go do whatever he wants with it and you now took a thousand out of your pocket and gave it although you gave the M on his behalf you didn't do it like the sages said you violated the law you were supposed to do it with wrapping your hands around yes exactly why exactly says the ramb and he 10 number 10 the reason why this is not only allowed but this is what you have to do is because you as the Torah scholar you as the one that's knowledgeable you know that this is not going to give and if he's not going to give that means that he could be he's going to be eating food without giving M that's could be considered which is a Biblical sin of KET he could be eating food he's not allowed to eat that's a Biblical sin so you have to give yeah but what about the fact that I gave but it's not the right way how could one sin make another sin right that's because the sin that you're making by not giving it in the ideal fashion is a smaller sin because it's the it's a it's a rabbinical sin not the rabbinical sins are not significant but rather if you can make a rabinal sin in order to save your brother from a Biblical sin certainly you have to do that so here we see and there's many other sources show us that your commitment to helping your fellow Jew especially the ignorant Jew especially the clueless Jew especially the secular Jew especially the Jew that is not as learned is not as familiar with what Shabbat is with what Mas is with what kosher is your commitment to him is of such importance that you literally have to take a bullet for him by actually making this sin in order to save him from a biggest sin in order to save him from a biggest sin so now there certainly are other places where you're allowed to make a Biblical sin in order to save somebody else from a Biblical sin such as for example if you know that there's somebody that's going to uh uh convert to Christianity a Jew is going to Shalom convert to Christianity on Shabbat they're going to go dip in in the in the filthy Waters and become uh thing you're allowed in fact you have to go and do whatever you can to go save that person if let's say shalom it's Somebody's Daughter somebody's son they're going to go convert to that false religion that person gets in the car on Shabbat and goes and takes their kids out of that that situation to go save him why because even though driving on Shabbat is forbidden according to the Tor it's when somebody is going to abandon God and go to idolatry it's considered P it's considered life risk no different than physical life risk it's actually even worse and therefore to go save somebody from such eternal life risk you're allowed to violate Shabbat Shabbat is on hold not usually these types of situations don't happen often but the point being is we see that when the Torah tells us you have to love your brother as much as you love yourself most people think that just means that you're going to invite them for Shabbat they're going to be your guests give them some good food let them stay your house for a couple days maybe lend them some money no no no there's a lot more in fact when it comes to the world of kiru when it comes to the world of actually getting Jews to do Chua getting them to abandon the Wicked Ways there is nothing greater than that even your own learning tah is not greater than that how could that be if we started off this year by saying that schl was rebuking the Torah Scholars rebuking the leaders of of the generation for learning less to because they were doing kindness they were doing and is that's because the specified SCH only rebuked those leaders those Torah Scholars though were doing that somebody else can do like driving somebody to the airport hosting a party things that visit the sick whatever it is things that are good that are kind but somebody else can do it so that type of although it's important although it's good it's not for you the one that could be learning Tora what about kiru kiru is not part of that equation why because if you can do kiru if you can actually help somebody do chuva that means that's something that only you can do only you can give that lecture only you can distribute that book only you can donate that money only you can be the one that actually helps that and in fact that that you're doing is not just it's considered higher than all because real kiru means that you're not just telling them listen you should keep Shabbat because it's nice to take a vacation rather the opposite you tell them you keep Shabbat because that's what the Torah says and let me show you in says a Jew that violate Shabbat death penalty he loses this world he looks the next World and he says this 11 other times in the Torah he says it seven times in dozens of times in the dozens of times in the Z it's all across the the T and you teach them T you speak Tor so real kiru is not just kindness by inviting them to your house and giving them some food real K is a combination of and Torah and therefore it's higher than everything else and that's why the people that actually make major sacrifices to support kiru to support what our organization is doing are putting themselves in a situation where they're literally the Z says they Chua they repentance their Chua that they started may have started because they're afraid of getting punished they're afraid of going to Gom they're afraid of losing money that chuva now because they're so supportive of kiru now turns into Chua from love which the in y says Chu from Fear turns your intentional sins into accidental sins and turns your accidental sins into nothing Chua from love turns your sins to me but then comes the comes R of bre and says Chua from love is not relevant to even the righteous people of my generation he says Al that even the righteous people of my generation theim will do Chua from uh from uh uh fear that's already enough true of from love he say it's not relevant to most people now how could it be that true from love is not because true of from Love is a completely different level it's eliminating eliminating your own personal preference your own personal choice you literally live in a way where Hashem hashem's desire is what you want but the comes and says when you do kiru when you help people do chuva either by giving them the speeches and the lectures or by supporting with your money with your what kir is you support the organization you support the Raba you do all of those things or you distribute or combination of all but you literally are making it your priority in your life then guess what that chuva that you made from Fear now turns to a Chua from love because there is no higher expression of love for hem than deting your life your resources your time to helping his CH children come back him that's why AB is called AB my beloved that's why mosenu was chosen to be mosenu the leader of am is the prophet of all prophets say that if it wasn't for mosenu is would still be in Egypt until this day why didn't anybody else come along to save am Israel for over 200 years that we were in Egypt because no one was willing to sacrifice their life for the sake of am is until m came he was the first that was willing to literally put his life on the line for the sake of is when you dedic dedicate your time your resources to helping you put yourself in a situation where now you go up to sh and the says there is no judgment for you as far as sins there is there's no like the bed reviewing you like everybody else everyone else whether they are uh a righteous person standard or even a Torah scholar learning to or needless to say a wicked person they go in front of the bed after they die they go up there and they get judged for every single thing they ever did they did good they get rewarded they did bad they get punished and of course if they did really bad stuff the punishment is very very severe but you that did kiru you that dedicated your resources to helping people do CH you go up to sh there is no judgment that's what the Zoros says there is no judgment why no one dares even look at anything close to sin relevant to this person how could this be because like we just said when you do kiru all of your CH turns into CH from love which means as the says all of the mistakes you've made in the past or even the mistakes you've made along the way you did chuva from them now that chuva turns that accidental sin or even the intentional sin into so when you go up to Sham there's no sins to calculate there's no sins to review so long as you did chuva that's it there's no sense in fact there's just MIT and even more MIT this gives us even more Clarity of what is the will of hasem not just of Our Generation but rather of you of me of everybody that's out there because this is the last stop before mashia comes when there's no more time and opportunity to do chuva this is where it all ends has been waiting patiently for 3,300 plus years for his people to do chuva everyone has gotten countless chances this is the last chance he's been waiting for you he's been waiting for her he's been waiting for am he's been waiting for everyone to do Chua that person that's still here and hasn't done chuva and hasn't started keeping Shabbat and hasn't become modest and is still walking around with a uh underwear but yet they call it clothes is still cheating in their business is still doing all types of horrible things that are against the toah Hashem wants that that child of his to come back home he wants his daughter his son to come back home but there's no way that he's going to let such a filthy Child come back and be next to the just like any parent if their kids jumped into a bunch of mud no parent is going to let their kids go and just play in the house and sit on the couch and play on the carpet when they're full of mud full of Filth has been waiting for each and every one of us to clean up the filth that we've accumulated by doing chuva but after this generation after mhia comes there's no more time to clean up there's no more time to do chuva which means that the reward for those that help is do chv is exponentially higher than ever before because all of the righteous people that help people do Chua in previous generations let's say they helped them 1500 years ago 2,000 years ago 3,000 years ago great but even if they failed hasem already knew that there's still a few thousand more years left in this world he could reincarnate those people give them another chance make them go to Gom for a little while go to kafak a little you know make a shish out of them turn him into an animal eventually turn him back into a person and hopefully within a few thousand years bring them back to the world they'll do chuva finish okay God they get eventually got but now there's no more time as the says there's no more G there's no more person dies and comes back again whatever is coming is already part of the process nobody else anyone that's finished now finished so that means this is the last stop for everybody the last stop for all the Jews needless to say the last stop for all the Gentiles all of these Gentiles that go and come to our lectures instead of listening and paying attention and realizing that they are worshiping an idol called Jesus they're worshiping heresy called Islam they they're worshiping foolishness that they literally themselves have not verified man-made errors that you could clearly see in their text man-made errors you could clearly see in their practices instead of learning they continue to preach falsehood they're also in the last chance everybody's in the last chance so if you help somebody whether it's directly or indirectly you help somebody do chuva come back to Hashem come back to Torah abandon idolatry abandon heresy abandon secularism that means you saved hashem's child child right before the clock ended right before there was no more opportunities ever again this makes the reward exponentially higher than any other time in history because there is no more time and that's why we see literally open miracles for those people that are seriously involved in helping us do chuva helping us do all the good things that the organization is doing you see open Miracles it's unbelievable how many miracles Made For Me made for my wife made for my kids made for my students made for people that are seriously dedicated to what we're doing it's unbelievable and some was say yeah we want Miracles too but they're not willing to make any sacrifices they want miracles for free there is no free lunch if you want to people do Chua it comes at a price whether you want to be a speaker or you want to be a supporter or you want to be a torist scholar or whether you want to be a uh uh supporter Tor scholar whatever it comes at a price how much it's expensive but the reward is much greater and I'm not just talking about the reward after this life ends I'm talking about the reward in this world is extraordinary the timing is unknown hasem decid some people gives them a miracle literally right away some people he gives the Miracles few months later few years later point being is when it comes it's unbelievable and that's what is telling us here after all we reviewed we realized that we're shooting bullets people are shooting bullets build this build that do this event do that event but you see that the resources are being spent being wasted more buildings are being built but there's fewer and fewer minim we see that the Satan is still winning says that's because many of the people that mean well that are good don't know the the Satan is taking their money their resources their attention to go and do the mitv he wants them to do to go get them to support the organization that's going to have parties the organization that's going to host Heretics the organizations that's going to do things that are not going to get people to do chuba that's what the Satan is doing with them so even though they mean well they didn't learn enough about how to actually help people do they didn't learn what what what have said and when you don't learn you don't know so is telling us here yov as great as he was is crying about the fact that he did not serve AEM to the fullest potential that he knew is possible because he saw lean serving his Idol that way but from there we also learn that the opportunity for us to succeed is enormous and there is something to learn from the wicked people which is look how excited they are for doing sins we should at the very least be excited for doing kiru for helping people do Chu and if we see that we're not successful at it if we see that our community is not suc uccessful on it that means there's something wrong that means that the resources the time the energy is being spent to fuel the LIE rather than fueling the truth because if it was doing what's we're supposed to be doing the success is unlimited how do you know if you're kiru is successful even before you see actual success even before before you see people telling you you've changed their life simple if you're willing to put your life on the line if you're willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of helping then for sure you'll be successful but if you're looking to be popular you're looking to be a uh everybody's friend you're simply depending on the Satan deciding whether he wants to use you or not to continue fueling his lies this are the holy words of our sages that we will all be able to apply to our lives to fuel ourselves to sacrifice more and more for the sake of is as part of our servitude of hem and be able to get is to do CH and not waste all the resources and the gifts and the talents and the ability that gave us to fuel the LIE even further let's fuel the truth because the truth is going to stand with or without us if we jump on board that means we'll benefit from it when it eventually sprouts and overtakes all the lies thank you very much for learning with me anyone that wants to contribute and help you could donate at bash.org you could also donate via the YouTube channel you could donate on Facebook you could donate by sending checks there's actually even couple of new things available uh on our website you can donate uh cryptocurrency as well as uh direct uh checks if you want to do it directly to a bank uh you know monthly uh through your bank there's a lot of different opportunities to contribute to help uh but at the same token there's also opportunities to help your community by getting some of these cards the USBs the books that we give out for free and giving it to people and distributing your community and helping is do Chua if you could do money certainly you should donate if you could don't have any money you could uh distribute and you have time to do it certainly you should could distribute uh if you could do both that's obviously the ideal how much should a person donate how much should a person distribute depends how much do you want to serve AEM how much do you love AEM how much how much do you love is how much do you want to get to the highest level of geden how much do you want to eliminate every single sin you've ever made and turn it into a mitvah the more you want to turn your sins into the more you're going to contribute the more you're going to do the more you're going to dedicate and each one of us will make the right choices and we'll learn again later this week [Music] the be ruven AI speaking here let me be very clear about Shabbat it is the foundation of [Music] Judaism it's really Bree this 13-year-old no shame whatsoever he belongs perfectly in the time of the Tower of Babel the time of Noah [Music] n [Music]
