WHOSE PRAYERS DOES HASHEM IGNORE?

[Music] why should I do every every day because that's the ra chapter S next number five all of the prophets commanded the people to do Chua saying I'm is will only be redeemed msia is only going to come through Chua the Torah has already promised that ultimately will do CH towards the end of the Exile and immediately she will be redeemed meaning that chuva is not a something you do if you don't keep Shabbat only chuva is something you do if you're a Jew what if I don't do Chua what if I think I'm good enough good enough violating Shabbat or good enough keeping Shabbat but not necessarily working on my character traits then you should know a hates you how do I know I don't know rambam knows what does he say he say next Al number six says chuva is great for those chuva is great for it draws a man closer to the chuva brings near those who are far removed before they did chuva before he did chuva this person was hated by God considered disgusting far removed an Abomination but now that he's done now that he's done he's considered beloved desirable close and dear to hem you want Hashem to love you you say you love hem you want hasm to love you back do Chu now how am I going to ever do chuva if my Rabbi never told me to do Chua how could I do it answer you can't now what happens if I don't do Chua what happens if I don't do Chua you look at the prophet Isaiah chapter 8 verse number 17 and also 21 where Isaiah says some very very harsh things where he says if we don't do chuv a person that doesn't do chuv doesn't even listen to their prayers meaning that that leader that Rabbi that speaker that's not constantly putting your n on fire to get you psyched up to do CH to get closer to hasem the right way he's constantly telling you that everything's okay all you got to have is auna or some other trick up his sleeve and he doesn't tell you you have to do hard court you well which means work on yourself fix your character traits he is the reason why your prayers are not being answered because the prophet Isaiah did not sugar coat a single word saying through the land will pass the troubled and hungry when he will be hungry he will be angry and curse his King and his gods and direct his face on high he will gaze throughout the land but behold Misfortune and darkness the weariness of distress he'll be B buffeted to Darkness for he was not worried The First Time The Land was distressed meaning the prophet tells us that because Hashem gave us an opportunity to do Chua send the right messenger but you shut it off because it was too strong meaning it's too strong for you didn't want to deal with it so what happens something bad happens Corona virus happens you pray you get a few other people to pray and nothing happens how come says I give you a chance to do Chua you didn't listen so when your prayer came I also didn't listen and that's the key we have to understand that the community is suffering because it's being starved it's being starved ofit and emit that's insufficient is really she incomplete emit is she why because that information makes all the difference in the world all the difference in the world if I say there's a car to you you say okay but if I forget to say there's a car driving straight at you and it's going to hit you in a few seconds was I honest partially I was honest but the judge will call me dishonest why because that missing in information made all the difference in the world although I told you there's a car not telling you that it's driving straight at you made all the difference in the world and that's the difference telling you that there's a God is good but it's almost useless if it doesn't tell you that this God doesn't just love he also hates he doesn't just reward he also punishes to just say God only rewards turns God into a slave not a God and that's the thing so it's not that everyone is outright lying like some of the people we've mentioned in the past it's that there's missing information that in essence turned the truth into a lie as this very very special Jew is crying out to his modern Orthodox Community telling them this information that you're teaching me over the last 20 years he says it's good information but it's incomplete because there are still immodest women coming to the Sho there are still people eating on kosher there are still people being dishonest there's still people going against God on a public level and none of them know there's anything wrong with it obviously he only knows cuz he studied this extra stuff on his own but how many people do that most people rely on the leader that's the point of the leader so that's the key it's important for each and every single person to be a leader to his small circle himself most importantly his family her family her children friends colleagues synagogue and so on and so forth don't stay quiet why because we stay quiet we in essence enable the light to continue we're very excited to offer you the new
