No thief in the world thinks he's gonna get caught. Who cheats? The one who doesn't think he's gonna get caught. Who lies? The one who doesn't think he's gonna get caught— which means that anyone that's doing anything wrong doesn't think there's a G-d that's watching everything. They may say they believe in their heart, but their actions speak different, because if they really believed in my G-d; the same G-d that created everything, He watches everything. He's not limited. He cares about whether you do Netilat Yadayim, He cares about whether you do Kiddush, He cares about whether you show up to the Minyan, He cares about whether you learn Torah for 15 minutes or sixteen minutes— He cares about everything. That's why He wrote it. If He didn't want you to know it, He'd put it in a mystical Book that most people don't even know how to read called the Zohar. The Kabbalah centers do not teach the Zohar by the way. They teach heresy. Nonsense. People that learn Zohar have to know the entire written and oral Torah practically by heart to even qualify to learn Zohar. So why did HaShem put it there? Because that's for special people that qualify. Average people? Us? He gave us everything we need to know. Once we know He's real, when we pay attention that He's in control of everything, we'll stop stealing, we'll stop violating, we'll start becoming more like human beings. We won't yell at people because we know that HaShem doesn't like anger. We'll start becoming better people. And then it says: (After we fear Him what happens next?) "VaYa'aminu Ba'Adonai" (they believed in G-d)! After they saw His hand, after they finally recognized that He exists, They immediately became scared. Then you can say "VaYa'aminu". then you could say: "yes, now they have Emunah." Now They believe in Him. You can't have belief in something you don't even know. Once you have the fear, then you can start talking about Emunah. Once you have the Emunah it says: "VaYa'aminu B'HaShem U'B'Moshe Avdo". And they believed in Him and in Moses His servant. Why was it so significant for HaShem to have us believe in Moses His servant? Because another name for Moses that everyone knows him by including the Goyim is Moshe Rabbeinu. Moses our Rabbi. Once we notice the hand of G-d then we fear Him. Once we fear Him, then we can have Emunah in Him at all times. Once we know that He's real and we have Emunah in Him at all times, Then we're gonna start listening to the Sages that gave us an explanation of what HaShem said. We're gonna start listening to our Holy Rabbis that actually tell us the truth— not the ones that just want Tzedaka. This is one of the most important parts that any Jew needs to know, and that's why it's inside your Tefilla. Chazal knew we need to learn this EVERY day; not just once a year during Parshat HaShevua. So they put it in T'fillat Shachrit; the prayer that most Jews still do if they're observant because they know Emunah is something you have to work on. When you have Emunah, nothing else matters. To finalize my story: when HaShem wanted me to just focus on this, and focus on getting people to come back to Him, He wanted to make sure I have no distractions. So that little business that I had left, the little fun that I had, He took that too. He says: "Now you're not gonna just tell people about Emunah— now you're gonna live on Emunah. Miracle after miracle, month to month, you have no idea where Parnasa is coming from because we don't charge for lectures, we don't ask people for donations unless they want to on their own behalf, you know, by themself, and you have the zero left except the debt and bankruptcy you just declared. You can't just teach people stuff. You have to live it. Why? We're at the end of days. There's not that much time left." We all have to do Teshuva, and it's better you listen to me from my story then HaShem talk to you, because I'm a little funny. He doesn't joke around. Any questions? ברוך ה' לעולם אמן ואמן
