Whatever has been is what will be and whatever has been done is what will be done. There's nothing new beneath the sun. [music] tells us that what happened will happen. What people did in the past, they'll do again in the future. Nothing new in the times that you live. That Hashem's creation is perfect and complete and therefore lacks nothing. So whatever we view as new has already been provided by a kados in his infinite wisdom. And as part of creation, Hashem created the resources, conditions, concepts for all discoveries and inventions of succeeding generations until the end of time. And therefore, when any generation witnesses an unusual phenomenon and takes it as [music] if it's new, they are mistaken. It's only new to them. >> [music] >> The ultimate salvation is coming for those that are righteous that have done chuva and the ultimate punishment is coming for those that don't. So in one end, Hashem is fast forwarding everything. Whatever bills have to be paid, he's paying them. This guy deserves a reward in this temporary world. Give it to him. Make him a millionaire. Make him this. Make him that. [music] She deserves something for something good she did. No problem. Make her beautiful. Make her marry a rich person or she's rich. Whatever it is, give it to them. Oh, this guy deserves suffering. Okay, give him suffering. Whatever it is, and then he's going to go to heaven if he's righteous. Everybody's getting whatever they can in this temporary world. Why? All of the bills have to be paid before the final totality is calculated. [music] these times of harsh decrees. [music] So Vasiman says we are in the end of days which is [music] a time of harsh decrees. There are certainly going to be times we are better than others but in general [music] we are in a time of harsh decrees and therefore the and therefore [music] the danger for us to be vomited from the land meaning tragedies happening [music] happenings in the world are much closer much more common than in the previous generations. Why? Hashem is closing the store. He's about to bring Msiah. The ultimate salvation is coming for those that are righteous, that have done chuva, and the ultimate punishment is coming for those that don't. So if you want to spend [music] your time and efforts and resources accumulating more kikayon trees, go ahead. But if you want to take those kikayon [music] trees or at least part of them and invest them into things that will actually last beyond the next crisis, build a co, build people to do chuva, build yourself in learning. All of the above, then you're actually using this gift that Hashem is giving [music] us for what you're supposed to. Because just like we have this major growth and development in the world and fast forwarding of everything that I mentioned, you're also seeing that [music] doing kiru has changed. The zad says that it's praiseworthy for a [music] person to spend his entire life of 70 years chasing after one person to help him do chva. Zah wasn't uh just throwing 70 years. It was literally it took a long time to convince [music] people in the past. That's changed now. You're seeing that people can transform their life, abandon idolatry, abandon heresy, abandon immorality, abandon bad relationships, abandon anything that's against Hashem. Literally after getting a message in a few minutes, in a few hours, you literally see people transform their life. So just like everything on the negative end on the good on the financial on geopolitical all of that has been sped up also the world of Kiru has [music] sped up where the souls of each person is now programmed in such a way where they're able to receive the truth and accept or [music] reject it much quicker. On the other hand, it's also the opposite way where a person could be religious and then just abandon everything just like that. Last [music] week, I got horrible news about somebody that did Chuva a few years ago. Not my bouva, not my student, but somebody I knew that from the exterior this person looked like the next beard, this that said he was learning. I already knew there was a problem with him because when I spoke to him and I asked him, "Who's your rabbi?" Cuz he says he watches my lectures. He's good if you want. any guidance, anything, no problem. But ask your rabbi first, who's your rabbi? He said, "No, I don't have a rabbi." Already then I knew this guy is at risk. Why? A Judah does not have a rabbi does not have direction. You don't have direction. It's only a matter of time before you go into the wrong street and get lost. And unfortunately, something happened. He decided to abandon everything, shave his beard, take off the keepa, no more synagogue, no more this, no more nothing. Literally [music] go back to being a What a now I know that he'll come back. The problem is that it's going to hurt the next time. [music] The first time you do chuva, the first time you come back to who helps you who helps you? He opens up your heart and you're able to receive the message [music] and you're able to change. Fast forward change. But if you leave Hashem, the next time is not so much fun. The next time is usually after Hashem smacks you in the face a few times. It's after you lose. It's after you suffer. It's after pain. It's after agony. It's after you realize, how could I leave Hashem? I'm now in the middle of lava. I'm burning. It's painful. Who can save me? The money can't save me. My friends can't save me. My cousin can't save me. My wife can't save me. [music] My brother can't save me. Who can save me? You cry toad because who else you going to cry to? And says, "Yeah, I'm still here. Hashem, [music] take me out of the fire." And even if Hashem takes the person out of the fire, it still hurts because they got burned and it hurts for a while. So I have no doubt in my mind that he and all the other people that have gone off the de will at some point get the clear understanding [music] that they have to come back home. And some of them will succeed in coming back home. But they'll have to come back home on their knees. They'll have to come back home after they realize they are in a dead end street with [music] their current path. In the past that could have taken a whole life person does cha person follows everything's good. But 20 years old decides to leave it. You could [music] wait for this guy 30 40 years before he comes back. He sees you says yeah rabbi I haven't put on in 30 years. All right. So you're back. Today [music] it's not like that. Today a person goes off. Don't be surprised if you see him back in the shoe within a one or two years or even one or two months. But next [music] time he comes with a cast, next time he comes with a broken leg, next time he comes with a broken bank account, next time he comes with a broken marriage, [music] next time he comes with a lot of tears because death is in the family, next time he comes, he comes on his knees and he realizes what did I do to myself? And the next time [music] to go back to the same level of CONNECTION WITH IS MUCH more difficult. Why? He doesn't have the same is so to learn when you were able to learn in the beginning four 5 6 10 hours now you're lucky if you're able to do four five 6 minutes before you have some type of distraction why you abandon hashem coming back you have to pay your bill [music] eventually you could go to high levels even after you come back but it's much harder either way the path has [music] been fast forwarded it's the same path it just happens in less time both to do chuva and go off to and do chuva again why as said in the name of the nothing new under the sun. The only difference in our times and the previous times is that Hashem fast forwarded the wheel of time where the same things [music] that used to take hundreds of years now are happening in much less time. The deeds of [music] people have not changed. It's just the outcome for the actions those [music] come faster. If somebody does good, Hashem will make sure they will see the benefits to it both in this world and next. >> [music] >> But if somebody goes against Hashem, as Jeremiah the prophet said, the evil you're doing will bring you suffering. [music] And Rashi clarifies that the conclusive outcome of wickedness is simply going to be suffering that's brought upon the person. And that suffering now comes faster. Even [music] if you were billionaire yesterday, don't be surprised if you become broke a week later. Even if you are on top, don't be surprised if you lose. Why are you going against the chef? All bets are off. So this is something you could hear 50 times and [music] understand it even better each time because you have living images of all of this [music] in your day-to-day life. And you'll see that even the biggest atheists will start changing one after another and become more and more indecisive as far as what they believe in because now [music] it is no longer difficult to believe in Hashem. Now it's just a matter [music] of choice. Do you want to believe in God? Because if you do, you're subject to his laws. You're subject to what he said. If you don't, you better have a good reason. Because your conscience will eat you up much worse now than it ever did before. Because it's much clearer that there is a creator. And it's much clearer that the creator is the one and only creator, the God of Israel. [music] the people wake up, realize it, act upon it, take advantage of the opportunities for whatever time we have left in this world [music] with whatever resources people have. Stop wasting your efforts on building a temporary castle. Start using this efforts to help people do chuva, to help the Torah [music] get greater, because that's the only thing that's going to be here beyond this next chapter that we're in. [music] >> [music] >> There's never a shortage of suffering for cl Israel. And we remember vividly what happened in the last century. Anti-revolutionary hoodlams massacred Jews in pilgrims. [music] Young Jewish children were drafted to be canonists enduring brutal abuse and forced conversion. Hitler annihilated almost all the Jews of Eastern [music] Europe in extermination camp. The communists [music] ripped away everything Jewish and prosecuted rabbis to death. [music] The Jewish scholars were sent to Siberia facing extreme cold and starvation. Yet we survived as the Holy One. Blessed be he promised. We survived with our grandparents observing family purity laws in rivers covered by ice 10 months [music] a year with Mohel's traveling through wild forests to [music] form the covenants with Hashem with Tadakim keeping Shabos and Yamov in Stalin's labor camps with Talmid Hahamim teaching Torah secretly [music] under surveillance. We survived as a nation through the unimaginable Msira's nephesh of our grandparents. We survived. [music] Now the haze of history seems dissipated. Many of [music] us complacently live in the modernized western world with luxurious lives. However, unfortunately, not always Jewish lives. While the torturing of bodies and severe poverty of the previous generation are not threatening most of us, the lwdness, [music] immorality, materialism, and heresies are. Rather than the direct attacks on bodies in the front, Yetszerhara is trying to seize our souls from behind. Blinded by the vanities in the world of lies and led astray by the wicked shepherds who hide [music] the truth. [music] Cl Israel is plagued by ignorance and walking straight into the trap of Satan with increasingly higher intermarriage rate and modernized liberal ideologies [music] with sneas becoming stringency and wasting seed becoming common practice with Jewish [music] kids dreaming of being gangster rappers instead of Torah scholars. [music] How low are we going to sink? Stalin and Hitler [music] did not finish us. Will we be finished by the numbing vanities and luxuries 80 years later? [music] Our father in heaven is neither blind nor deaf. Do we really need him to wake us up again [music] like 80 years ago? Worst [music] yet, when our lost brothers and sisters finally wake up from the imaginary vanities and try to reach out for help and get the proper Jewish education, [music] they are politely informed, "Sorry, this place is not for you." Their Jewish brothers and sisters threw them out because of their race, financial status, families, [music] or simply not being one of them. What difference does it make if someone is [music] Sephardic or Ashkanazic? Whether they are religious from birth or learned just recently that Hashem exists or if they are from a prestigious lineage or a [music] new convert, we have the same father in heaven. We need the Torah to nourish our souls [music] and serve the holy one. Blessed be he with full potential. In such an ignorant and spiritually [music] deprived generation if we will not help our own brethren, who will? We finally [music] are in a generation where we don't have to fight for the basic right of survival. But will we now murder the souls instead of the bodies? [music] As a rabbit hakil taught, the Torah [music] says here, "O Israel, Hashem our God. Hashem is one and you shall love Hashem your God with all your heart, with all your soul, [music] and with all your resources. And how can we discern whether we love God with all our heart or not? It says further, "Let these [music] matters that I command you today be upon your heart. Teach them thoroughly to your children. People who love God give their children [music] religious education." This is the mission of our organization. We need to build the ultimate Orthodox community envisioned by not just us [music] but also Hashem. Assisting Jews to realize their potential and fulfill their mission of life to serve the King of Kings. [music] We guide Clal Israel from Brit Ma to Olm Haba. No one will be rejected because of [music] their race or financial status. Regardless of background and age, all Jews who want the truth belong here. Our forefathers preserved the connection with Hashem for thousands [music] of years. It's time for us to strike the final blow in the last generation. [music] Partner with us in this holy mission. We shall exert all of our resources to serve the holy one. [music] Blessed be he and merit to see the arrival of King Messiah and proudly proclaim Adonai Elohim. Adonai. [music]
