Why Do People Reject The Truth | Sold Out Night In NYC

Q&A after. Q&A is after, but you can start quick Q&A now if you want. Don't have mercy on me. Go. You got something? Go for it. >> I have a question. So, I feel like for me personally, um, I've been stagnant where I I had a big jump. I was always religious. I had a big jump where I was learning really nice consistently, but I feel like I just hit a plate and I'm very stagnant now. What should what should one do to get through that barrier? growing because downward escalator growing. >> So I'm going to do something very very Jewish. I'm going to answer your question with a question. >> How often do you wash my shim? >> All the time. >> What's all the time? >> Um I'd say >> per day. >> Uh depends weeks. >> Half hour a day, 10 minutes a day, five minutes a day. >> A few hours. It could be to a few minutes. >> Few hours to a few minutes. Watch my shim. At least a half hour a day. At least a half hour a day. That's like because I'm having mercy on you cuz we just met. Half hour a day. It'll give you the that you need. Why? Says there are certain things that always need meaning even if you're sadik from from everything is good. Even if you are a certain things need now in the English speaking world there are a lot of speakers but not necessarily everybody puts the fire under you and boem we merited to be one of them and uh sometimes that's what a person needs why why is that something person needs because theto says sends certain uh to a person in in a specific way. It's not everything is good. Meaning it's not like food where you could eat at this restaurant or that restaurant or different restaurants. Rather is he makes between a certain and a certain place that they're going to get their their from the B calls. uh other call different things. Which means that even if let's say you have five good people, you like all of them. They all say the same exact thing says your will only be fine-tuned because one of them why because of one of them because that's the one that I tune to you. So if you get from my then that's what you have to do on a regular basis. This is like you think it you have to look at it as a way where this is like food for your but you eat every day or once a week. >> Sometimes you eat for 2 hours and the rest of the week you fast or you eat every day. >> So just like you eat every single day and you breathe every single day listen to every day at least a half hour a day that's the usually a good medicine. If you could do more because it's a vitamins too every day you'll have much more. Why tell me send me a message after I have my uh I have my card somewhere here. Anybody who doesn't have my phone number, even though it's public property, you can send message, give me an update where you're at in the next 30 days, in the next 90 days, and if you're not at least 50 to 100% better than where you are right now, change my name or call me whatever you guys want. Why? Because that's the way Hashem makes the world. I tell people all the time even though I've been learning well my dear Rav uh for all these years 15 years or so and we talk every day several times a day if I don't listen to issue if whatever reason or another I get punished and I don't get to talk to my Ra and I don't even listen to isim for let's say maximum two days I already feel weaker I already feel weaker so why because that's why designed the world in such a way so listen to the that's going to be a good uh a good medicine, a good Okay, thank you very very much for inviting me and do I need to use the mic or you guys can hear me? >> You hear me? Good. >> Mic. >> Mic. Okay. Thank you very much for inviting me and for um Is this on? Check. Check. Okay. Uh and Boashm, it's been uh it's been a while since I've traveled. It's been a while since uh I came to Brooklyn. Uh I think that uh I did a shure here maybe 10 12 years ago. Probably 10 11 years ago. It's either here or it's in a building close by. That uh was actually the first time I told my personal story. And that was a big part of the uh the movie. Hashem took back his millions. >> So the place has a lot of there's more and more people each time. Some new faces, some old faces. And we'll make this you for the for and also there was actually another person that uh asked me to do but uh if somebody knows the name the person that bought it I forgot the oh yes what's the Marcel Marceli to them, to all of the supporters, to all the people that learned Torah with us and uh the people that uh h I'm I'm not following. >> Guys, please. >> Oh, so that's what so we're here. We're learning. We're teaching. We're growing. And uh one of the things that if you've been watching me for many years then you know that in the beginning there was a lot of push back there's a lot of push back usually came from rabbis but not uh the public usually loved me whether it was the goim or it was the Jews it was secular it was religious it was whether it was Bobo was Sat was a Safari Eskenazi the regular people hashem we always got along people usually don't get along with the other rabbis that don't like the truth because they tell me listen you're telling people that if they don't do uh what Hashem says they'll get punished yeah that's what Torah says yeah but you're telling them they're going to go to g that's what says korak where's kak today isn't gay he's not gedan I promise you this says that say that that because his story caused a lot of people to do chuva because they're scared of going to gum also that one day is going to take him out but he's been there for 3,300 years. So that also answers all of the people that say oh no go is only maximum of 12 months. I don't know what god special treatment. So in the beginning there was a lot of push back. Why you're scaring people? I said I'm telling people what's in the Torah. I'm not inventing anything. I don't know anything to invent. If I knew something to invent. I read a comic book. But I'm telling you what's out there. So in the beginning there was a lot of push back because in the English-speaking world at some point or another over the last 40 or so years we became politically correct. People became scared of telling people the truth because they decided that it's too difficult for people to handle the truth. I remember when people that were religious that call themselves rabbis would come to my Wall Street office and collect staka and they always were very very good at collecting staka. They always very very good and persistent at staying in my office until they got a th000 or 2,000 or 5,000 or whatever amount of money they were looking for. But they were not very very good at telling me to keep Shabbat. They were not very very good to tell me eat kosher. They were not very good at all about telling me about intermarriage. And uh when I asked them after I became religious, I asked uh I asked him, "How come you never told me about Shabbat? How come you never told me about you even invited me to some event where you knew I was going to drive on Shabbat back and forth? You never said anything about Shabbat. How come?" He said, "That's not my problem." Like, "What do you mean it's not your problem?" He goes, "The only thing that a Jew needs to do in our generation is give taka." I said, "You know, you're a kufair, right? He says, "The worst thing you ever did was do was do chuba." I said, "Oh, so you're even bigger than kof than I thought." He said, "Yeah, you were much nicer before you did chuba." This is what he says. And I even have this pictures of this, the screenshots of what I'm telling you in case anybody wants to see it. I'll send you a picture of this. This is this craziness of the world. Why? Why is it like this? Now, of course, there's always been people that are trying to make money out of religion. And even at the time of the neim there were people that were trying to make money out of out of religion. But this is not the case. What happened is that even people that tried to do good became scared to do good because of all the political correctness that uh influence the world in such a negative way that people are scared to tell the truth because they say that maybe people can't handle it. But the question I always ask him, why did you decide that they can't handle it, but you can? You're keeping, you're keeping Shabbat. Yes. So, how come you can but he can't? What is your more Jewish than his? Your was a mount Sai but his was at at the golf course. If he's a Jew and you're a Jew, you were both at Mount Si. You have the same Nishma. What's why why is yours why is yours able to handle it but his can't they usually don't have an answer for that so in the beginning there was push back the says the truth will rise even from the ground even if you cover it with dust with garbage with lies with whatever you want at the end it's going to come out and came And little by little more and more people around the world started watching the shim. We have our shim translated to 15 different languages currently. We have uh somewhere around 25 or 27,000 people following our Spanish channel. We have 13,000 following Portuguese, something around 13 to 15,000 Russian. There's some Chinese. There's some Arabic. There is hashem 15 different languages. And uh the one common denominator about all of those people is that they all want the truth. They all want the truth. The question that I have for you guys now that we're going to answer together with the help of the Balmto and is how come even in the world today where you see that anti-semitism is dancing. When I was a kid, to be anti-Semitic was not very popular. If you were anti-semitic, you lost your job. If you were anti-Semitic, you lost your career. Today, if you're anti-Semitic, they put you on the news as you're the new superhero. You could maybe lead our next march against uh the Jews. Today, they give you a prize for being anti-semitic. They sign contracts if you're anti-semitic. So anti-semitism has changed. We see that anti-semitism has risen drastically over the last 10 years, especially even more so in the last few years since October 7th. And you see that he's making a separation between the holy and the uh not so holy. He's making a separation between the Jew and the Gentile where like says when the Jew doesn't do sends the go to dodah abdah means what you do but also makes separation and one of the things that one researcher came out with recently just in the last couple of weeks said that intermarriage in America was at an all-time high right before se October 7th and intermarriage has gone down drastically since October 7th. Now that's not because all of the Jews suddenly became religious. Some did but there's still a lot that don't. But even if they're not religious, they still don't want to intermar. Why? Today she says I love you. Next week she may send you to the Nazis. Today she says I love you to next week she may say free Palestine because that's what we saw. People saw their co-workers that they were best friends with working next to each other shouldertosh shoulder three four five years at some software company at some engineering company at all types of companies and all of a sudden doesn't want to talk to him anymore. What happened? We're best friends. We had lunch every single day. We even shared pig together. No, no, no. Free Palestine. You you're a Zionist. What Zionist? I don't know anything about Zionism. No, you're a Zionist. You maybe you're Msad. What Msad? Who's Mousad? He doesn't even know Msad. But he's so secular. He doesn't know anything. But by default, I hate you. So now you have a world like this. So you would think you would think there's a chair here for the for the women. There's there's probably a few chairs that people could get and maybe there's one over here. So you would think in a world like this that you have so much confusion. You have so much confusion. And if also please for the tikim that are handling all the chairs, if you could reserve two chairs for my dear brother and my mom, they're coming soon. You have a world like this. You would think that at the very least at the very least in the from world everybody would want mus everyone want would want people would stop going to the fake news people would stop going to you know just pet me and tell me I'm a sadik people would have enough listen I want the truth but unfortunately it's not the case it's not the case there's still people that exist in the world, believe it or not, they're Jewish just like us, but they not only refuse to listen to Mal, but they're practically allergic to it. Meaning the minute they hear any type of any type of rebuke, any type of, you know, what it actually says in the Torah, at least half of it, automatically they're like allergic. I had a guy send me messages yelling at me about four years ago. He told me that I'm increasing anti-semitism because I have some videos where I say that the Jewish people are responsible for bad things that they did because it's a fact. They lent money with high interest right before the Holocaust. They also did the same thing right before the Spanish Inquisition. They also did the same thing in Morocco. They also did the same thing in Ukraine. They also did the same thing before the programs in England in the 1100s. They also did the same thing before the destruction of the beta mdash. This is unfortunately a recurring uh mistake that we're making. But anyway, I mentioned specifically what we did wrong before the Holocaust that Hitler used as a pretext, as an excuse to justify his evil to kill us. And this Jew was yelling at me, telling me that I'm increasing anti-semitism. I told them I'm not increasing anti-semitism. The opposite. I'm at least showing people whether they're Jews or Gentiles that we're acknowledging our mistakes. And this is not what Judaism is. When you're following the Torah, you don't do things that are against the Torah, like lending uh money with high interest or stealing from people or corruption or anything like that. In order to be a Jew that's following Hashem, you have to have you got you have to have fear of Hashem. He can't uh go and hurt anybody regardless of whether he's a Jew or a Gentile. In fact, the Rambam says to steal from a Gentile is worse than stealing from a Jew. So he disagreed. I told him, "Listen, there's many non-Jews that watch my shim. Some of them used to be Nazis and they ended up becoming former Nazis and some of them even converted to Judaism." He wasn't hearing it. Anyway, he went his way, I went my way. Four years passed. A few weeks ago, apparently, a very famous guy that was a Nazi named Lucas Cage decided that he doesn't want to be a Nazi anymore. He realized it's a mistake. Even though he was apparently very, very famous. He was a Nazi for 14 years. very avid and vocal. So much so that he influenced other people to become Nazis. He was a meabim in the Nazi world and many people became Nazis because of him. But then he decided to change. The question is what made him change? Now I saw that he made some people told me that he made some positive comments about my shield. So I mentioned it in the shield that this guy left a bad way. He's not in a good way. I don't know how much my isim had an influence on him or not. I know he likes them and he publicizes them. Now then he decided to make a video to say that's the reason why he changed because of the shim. Because of my shim that he watched that influenced him to realize that the people he has a problem with have nothing to do with Judaism. They're making the evil that they're doing not because they're Jewish. They're making it because they're just people. and the Jewish people that follow the Torah that says do what the rabbi says. Those people I love them. I ended up speaking to him and he's a very nice guy and he wants to really transform his life and he's going in the right direction. So now after I I had this, I sent this little clip that he made. I sent it to the guy from a few years ago because he sent me a message day before it happened that he found out that his son was watching my and doing chuva. So what did he do? He stopped his son from watching the son was doing chuva. The son was saying the son wanted to eat kosher. But no, you're doing it because of your own meaning. HE PREFERS FOR HIS SON TO BE A AN IDOL WORSHIPER THAN TO WATCH YOUR OWN. WHY? Because he believes that your own ruven makes anti-semit anti-semitism. So now when he sent me this, I got so upset. you just you just murdered your son. And the next day the thing happened where Lucas Cage makes the video. So I sent him the video. Now you would think that after this sees that a a famous anti-semite now loves the Jewish people, you would think he would say, "You know what? I made a mistake. You know what, son? I'm going to start watching with you." You would think that did not happen. He sent me explaining to me how much he hates me. Now I have a question for you guys. How come after all of this he has not done the should of that we do on you should know you make a mistake. not only mistake because he's ruining his son, but on top of that, you see the proof. How come? How come there are some people that are glued to the sheh even if they sometimes wear a keepa, even if they don't wear a keeper, there's no c there's no one sizefits all. It comes in all shapes and sizes. How come there are some people that are so allergic to the truth? They're so allergic to mus that it doesn't matter what you tell them they will stick to the sheer Adam of it. Why? So today I learned an extraordinary from my dear Ra that m it puts a lot of things in perspective and it helps us answer this very very big dilemma. The Balmto says that in a seph called meat that was written by of of he was one of his in called on page 23. three he says first so you know who the baltov is everyone here heard about the balto right in case you didn't I'm going to tell you who the baltov is the he says in the city of meuz years ago there was a rich Jewish guy that hated the balshov and everything that would come out from the baltov it would go against for years. Now in those days one of the differences between today at least for now and back then is the the way that the Christians convince people to convince Jews to convert was different. Today the Christians bought the Christians uh opened a bet cafe in Yusha so the Jews could come there and that's when they do their missionary. I just got a video earlier today where they're publicizing that they open a bit cafe they open a cafe and uh that's really the uh recruiting center for missionizing. So today they're not looking to kill anybody with spears, with crusades, with all types of things. Today it's with betafe, with sugar. Back then it was different. Back then, aside from the crusades that they did going from city to city and slaughtering everyone that doesn't want to convert, they would do different types of blood labels. So in Mibus what they would do is that right before Pesak they would murder a uh a Christian usually would be be a kid and then they would take the body of the kid and put it in front of a Jewish person's house and say look look the Jews killed the uh this boy this Christian boy because they need the blood for the matzah. Somebody give my dear mother a chair please. You please. Yeah. Without wouldn't be here for a million different reasons. So Ken, my brother is over there. God bless him. Anyways, my uh my nephew. So yeah, uh maybe if you guys could get into a couple of chairs, please. Oh, come, my VIPs. So now back then, what would they do? They take a Christian boy, kill him, and then put him in front of a Jewish house and say, "Look, the Jews killed him because they need the blood for the masses." That was the blood labels back then. So this Jew that was very rich and didn't like the baltov. What happened to him? One morning it was pesak. His wife opens the door in the morning. What does she see? She sees a dead Christian kid in front of her door. She knows that it's only a matter of time before the Christians come say this is what happened. They kill them and the show is over. She passes out. A husband sees his wife on the floor. He runs over there. He sees the dead body. He wants to pass out also. Then his wife, he wakes his wife up. She says, "Go to the balmtov. GO TO THE BALMTOV. HE CAN HELP US." He goes, "Me the balmtov. I'm going against them for years. What balmtov?" She says, "If the shamim, if the guards of the Christians show up and they see this, we're dead. Go to the balmto." Was smart enough to listen to her. He went to the balmtov. Now this story was told by the baltov's grandson Ephraim who told this to the per the mo's father-in-law meaning this is directly from the source. So he got to the balmto he started crying please help me. The balmtov says to his grandson Ephraim and he says take my stick go over there and tell the the dead body tell him the baltov told you to rise and come see him. The boy goph comes he does exactly what the r says the body rises and starts walking. Now the shim at the the the Jewish community was uh was closed off separated from the Gleim. So there was guards, Christian guards at the gate and they were told specific instructions. Everyone is allowed to go in and out to pretend like everything is normal. But if you see them carrying a sack or a body or don't let them out. Why? We have a we have a plan. So they don't see any bodies. They see people walking out including this guy that's dead. He gets to the balmtov. He sits next to the balmtov. The balmtov then tells his other grandson Bah that was a fry's brother. He says bah take your hat put it on this boy's head. And then he tells the uh the dead boy start walking around. Walk around sit down. And that's what he starts doing. starts walking around sitting down after you ask them some questions. Who did this to you? And so on. Shortly after, the pastors and the police show up at the guy's house cuz they know where the body is, but they can't find it. They asked the guards, "Anybody leave?" They said, "Listen, everybody left. Everybody's fine." They said, "It has to be the balto." They go to the balto place. They check inside. They look inside. They see everybody's walking. Everybody's happy. Everybody's dancing. There's no dead bodies. They walk away. Then the BMP tells Ephraim, "Go bury the body." And he goes and he buries the body. A year later, the that same priest wants to do the same thing. But before he does it, the Balov goes to him says, "Why are you doing this? Why are you doing all these blood liels? Don't you know as long as I'm alive, it's not going to work? I know what you did last year. You murdered a Christian boy and you sle left it in front of this particular guy's house and you know how I know because I resurrected him and I buried him and this is where he is and he told me this and this about you. The pastor the priest got so scared he stopped doing the blood labels. So the shami says in that when you say something in the name of imagine as if he is right there watching you. So that's who the bto is. Now the says in our par it says if a man shall have committed a sin whose judgment is death he shall be put to death and you shall hang him on the gallows on the gallows. Now the ask a question. It says here that the the is did a is accidental. It's not intentional. It's not. So how come he gets death penalty? Why is it that he does that he gets penalty? That's a death penalty. And the bow says, do you know why he gets a death penalty for something that shouldn't get a death penalty? Because the that the Torah is talking about that it's hinting about is wasting seed. And what happens is even if he wasted seed accidentally. He didn't know about the movie that your own Ruben made. He didn't know that the says that a person that wasted goes to Gome doesn't come out if he doesn't do. He didn't know. kind of accidental say even though it's accidental there's still a loss everyone knows we have several parts of each every one of us has several parts of the right says that after after he makes the sin the first time the the first time he loses the nephish a part of his gone. Then he does it again second time. The second time he loses the Then he does a third time and the third time happens. He loses the and the BP says that's why he's considered like the walking dead. He's alive. He's walking on two legs. He goes to sleep. He go wakes up. Goes to work. Runs his real estate company. Whatever he does. But the nama, the Jewish nama died. Why did it die? Because of the sin. What does it mean it died? It means that he has developed such a disconnect from that he becomes allergic to the truth. He cannot accept mal. And therefore the when it writes about the sin of wasting seed says this is the worst of all sins. Why is it the worst of all sins? Because no other sin causes such a spiritual damage like wasting seed. Where a person can lose a piece of his without even knowing it. Cuz for all intents and purposes, he still puts on pants one leg at a time. He still does whatever he does. But he doesn't realize that his his left is on vacation. He's got a serious spiritual problem. Something similar happens when a person eats non-coosher meat. Even if it's accidental. even if it's accidental. Instead of eating kosher meat, he ate kosher pig. Instead of eating drinking, he ate. Instead of eating, he ate an eagle accidental, but the accident caused damage. What happens when you eat non-coosher meat? The Torah itself says that that becomes spiritually stupid. What does it mean spiritually stupid? Says it's gone. All of a sudden he has doubts about the foundations of Judaism. All of a sudden he says, "Well, if Hashem can create everything, can he create a rock that he can't lift?" You know those types of questions. If Hashem has this, does he make the choice? He starts questioning the whole foundation. What happened to your am until now you were in yeshiva? Until now you Shabbat, until now this, until now that all of a sudden you have questions about all the foundation. What happened? Says he ate non- kosher food. Another of the Balmto was the Balnat Pa of the city of Poland which is in Crane in Ukraine. And he says that the BMT saw a written responsor, handwritten response that the Rambam wrote and he said this was answer number 70,000 of the questions that were asked of the Rambam. And it was a group of Jewish bahim that asked the Rambam a question and they asked him, can we use this and that source in order to prove that the resurrection of the dead is not real? And the Rambam writes, "Since this is your question, I can assure you you are not from the descendants of Yakov. You are from Sodom and Gomorrah. You are the descendants of Sodom and Gomorrah. And s since you've arrived at that conclusion and all you're doing is looking for some place to prove your conclusion and you got to the point of sending it to me. It shows me that the destruction of you of your destruction is very near. a very short period of time, a matter of days, the bal says a matter of days passed before the king of the goim in that place that they were living decided he wants to make the Jews into uh his religion. I believe it was Islam. But with these three guys, he says, "No, no, you guys don't believe in the resurrection of the dead. You don't deserve to live." And he killed all of them. How did they get to such a point? Because they ate non-coosher food. Now again, this when you tell somebody, listen, you have to keep kosher, you have to protect your b, you have to protect your eyes, you have to do this, you have to do that. When somebody comes from so far away, it sounds like it's fanatic. Then when they hear, look what happened to these. They all died. It's oh that's extreme that but but this is reality. This is reality. When people ask where was God during the Holocaust or where was God during October 7th, the only answer is that he was there. He's the one that did it. It wasn't the Arabs. It wasn't the Nazis. It was Yadashem. Why? There's nothing else but him. Nothing happens without signing off. You have trees outside of here. You know those trees every season the leaves fall off and then you have to get people to collect all the leaves. Do you know that every leaf before it falls off it has to ask for permission if it's allowed to fall off? Before it falls off the leaf before the leaf falls off from the tree is it today? No. Today is not the day. The next day. Today the day. No. Today is not the day. A week and a half goes by. Today the day. Yesterday, the day the leaf falls, the leaf has to ask for permission to fall from the tree. Nothing happens without signing off. Nothing. Needless to say, all of the things that happened to happen because signed off on it. Now if a person is glued to Hashem, if a person learns Torah, if a person fixes themselves, works on themselves, they can start understanding the good and what looks bad. As I said before, October 7th, before October 7, people were fighting. So much so that the entire country of Israel was on a board of having a revolution civil war. Intermarriage was at an all-time high worldwide. So much so that it surpassed the intermarriage that we had right before the Holocaust. Researchers say that in Germany before the Holocaust, the Jewish people were at 94% into marriage. 94%. Meaning you had a better chance of discovering how to fly without wings than marrying another fellow Jew. Guess what? Right before October 7th, we got to high levels like that. So what did do in order to make the Jews remember that they're Jews and not Catholics and not Christians and not anything else? He reminded them that the go don't like them. It's an it's not just a suggestion. Now, of course, there are always going to be some decent Jews and there's going to be some bad ones. There's going to be some decent goim and some bad ones today merited us that we have another Jewish added to the Jewish world. One of our dear students converted today into this person when they first started when I first met this person the separation between them and was why they didn't grow up this way they didn't grow up this way but today this person is 100% Jewish no less than any Jew that was born Jewish how could such a thing happen gets involved in the creation before the Holocaust knew that if he allows his Jewish people to continue behaving the way they are at 94% intermarriage in Germany and very high intermarriage around the world, there's not going to be any Jewish people left in the next generation. So he brought the Holocaust. Yes, we lost 6 million Jews, but it's better to lose 6 million Jews than 100% of the Jews. Today you are all Jewish because of who had mercy on us and brought us a disaster. Yes, we don't want to lose anybody. But sometimes sometimes a person shalom gets such a horrible sickness that they tell him listen if you want to live we have to cut off your legs. No, no, but I want my legs. Okay, you can have your legs but then you're going to die and you're not going to have anything. So what is he going to choose? Cut off the legs. Why? I'd rather lose the leg and keep the rest than lose everything. Yeah, but it's painful. But sometimes painful is necessary. The same concept happened before October 7th. intermarriage was at a all-time high and a kadosh in his mercy had to give us had to inflict upon his childrens that he loves pain that's painful enough for us to all wake up. But what can we do that sometimes people need more than just wakeup calls that happens to somebody else rather they need a wakeup call that's more personalized said already in his time that we already see if we compare our time his times needless to say our times we already see how Kadosh's decrees are coming much more rapidly. We saw that the first beta mikdash survived for 410 years. Then it was destroyed but MK allowed us to rebuild it again only 70 years later. So we had a horrible decree but then we had the salvation just 70 years later. And even though there was sinning in the second beta mikdash for hundreds of years they were sinning. He still allowed him to keep the second bet mikdash for 420 years and then it was destroyed. But then we started rising again and we were doing well for a while. for hundreds of years he allowed us to go and prosper and build and rebuild and but then another decree came whether it was what happened in Europe or what happened in Spain what happened but we saw thank you we saw how from the separation between one horrible decree and another was hundreds of years sees it's not that it's not like that anymore it's as if there's a horrible new decree every decade we saw the first world war then we're seeing the second world war and he says you know why because a kadosh is about to close the store now I remember when I was a kid in Israel there was a store that was owned by a guy named Rafi and my ima told us go to Rafi and get milk, eggs, Coca-Cola, whatever you need to get. And we always get a few cookies and candies also. Well, you didn't have to have any money. You just told imma said to put it on the tab. I don't know what it is. I'm six, seven years old. Later on, I found out somebody has to pay the tab one day. Guess what? This was normal in those days. You put everything on the tab and Rafi writes in a little notebook. And one day imm has to pay this this amount or that amount. The says there was a guy that had a store and everyone had a tab. But one day they all each person comes to the store and says, "Okay, put this on the tab." And the guy says, "No, no, no more tab." What do you mean no more tab? I'm with you for 20 years. Goes, "You're right, but no more tab. Now you have to pay the tab." Why? He says, "I'm closing the store." Next month there's no more. So now you have to pay the full tab. Says we see that is expediting the decrees, expediting the slap, expediting the punch, expediting the wakeup call for us as a people and also us as individuals. Why? He's closing the store. It's time to pay the bill. But because a kadosh is merciful and because he loves us, he doesn't close the tab overnight. What does he do? He gives us a warning. He gives us October 7th. He gives us anti-semitism becoming acceptable. He gives us this uh Muslim terrorist Mamani. He gives us all types of interesting things around the world where apparently in Belgium either they already outlawed or they're about to outlaw. Why would anybody in Belgium from the world of the go care about what the Jewish people do with their 8day old babies? You're never going to know why. It has nothing to do with them. It has to do with Hashem. Shem says you were comfortable in Belgium until now. Now it's time to be uncomfortable. Why? wants them to do chuva just like he wants us to do chuva in New York or in Florida or in Los Angeles or in Baltimore or anywhere else that there's Jews is giving us each wakeup calls why he's about to close the store but what can we do that sometimes people they hear the message from what happened in Israel a few years ago it doesn't affect them they hear what happened in Belgium doesn't affect them they hear what happened in New York doesn't affect him. So what does Hashem do in his mercy? He says, "If you're not going to listen to all of these warnings, I'm going to send you Rabbi Ruven, on YouTube, on Tik Tok, on Facebook, on a app. I'll send you that. Sometimes it works." and he turns from a guy to a Jew as if he converted. Sometimes it works. And she turns from being a ballerina to being a Sometimes it works. But sometimes the kipah on the sh is so thick from so many sins of immorality of non-cosher of Shabbat of of that even your own Ruben cannot help her. Why? She turns it off. So says I sent you October 7th. You didn't listen. I sent you anti-semitism. You didn't listen. I even sent you your own didn't listen. So now I have to give you a personalized lesson. All of a sudden, oh, my side hurts. I have to go to the doctor. I think I pulled a muscle. They go to the doctor. I'm sorry. You didn't pull a muscle. What happened? You have cancer. What happened? You have this. You have that. Oh, listen. I'm about to buy a house. Everything looks good. Turns on the TV. Oh, I just lost all my money. That's what happens. Why? who says, "I sent you the messages, but you didn't listen. So, I'm going to put you at a point. I'm going to humble you by force. I'm going to humble you by force. What you're going to say, who can help me? My friends left. My uh my job is gone. I don't have a job anymore. All the things that I held dear to my heart are worthless. What else do I have?" They start looking in Shine. Obviously, I was in a desert. They started asking all types of questions. They started having all types of complaints who sent him snakes. He sent him a bunch of snakes. Where did the snakes come from? Where did the snakes come from? You know where the snakes came from? If you remember, Tawat tells us that we had seven. We had seven clouds surrounding is while they were in a desert on the right, on the left, below, above, front, back. It was as we were floating in the desert for 40 years. That's why no one had to do laundry. Why? Cuz you go into into the cloud, it does a laundry for you. I know my ima wants one of those clouds. You do that laundry. You don't have to do laundry. 40 years nobody did laundry. On top of that, no one needed new shoes. Why? You walking on a cloud so the shoes don't get ruined. But you know what else the clouds were doing? As the clouds were going, they were collecting all the snakes, all the scorpions. All the filth that wants to kill am, it was collecting all of it. The Jewish people didn't know. They just know everything is good. We're hanging out. We're in deal. We're having a vacation. We're in uh, you know, in the hemp. We're having a good time. The weather is always good. Everything is good. But then they started questioning. Then they started complaining. Then they started complaining. Why are the prices so high? Why don't I have more like the my neighbor does? Why this? Why that? All types of questions about says you have questions. Let me give you some answers. You know all those snakes that I collected for the last 40 years. Oh, you didn't know? Let me show you. All the snakes from the clouds came out of the clouds and started killing people. That's where the snakes came from. What's the point? What's the point? Just killing people? No. Akadu told Mosheu, Moshe, make a snake from copper. Put it on top of the mountain. Until this day, by the way, that snake is what they use in the medical world as a sign. So this snake, put it on top of the mountain. Anyone that looks at the snake is going to be healed. What? The snake heals. Snake doesn't do anything. It's a piece of metal. But you know what happens? The snake just bit him. It hurts. He knows he's about to die. His life is ruined. The real estate he just bought useless. The girl he just married, she's looking for a new shid. He's done. He's on the floor. HE KNOWS HE'S GOT SECONDS to live. He knows he has nothing left. his career, his fame, his fortune, all of it became zero. Why? He's on the floor and he's dying. So what do you look at when you're about to die? Look at Wait, there's a snake. What's a snake doing over there? Wait, behind the snake there's I'm sorry I missed you. I didn't realize you were there. I didn't know that you're the one that does you're the one that put it. you you youad who heals him who heals him not because of the copper snake but because of what's behind the snake. But if he told him listen look at the sky and Hashem's going to help you. People got used to the sky. People got used to the sky so much so they actually think it's blue. You tell somebody what color is the sky? Blue. No, it's not. It's not blue. What color is the ocean? Blue. No, it's not. Ocean is not blue. Take a cup of water. Take a cup. Go into the ocean. Fill up the cup. What color is the water? It's clear. It's not blue. But how come it looks How come it looks blue? Because the ocean says the ocean reflects the sky. The sky is not blue. It's also clear. The sky reflects the over there. It's blue. Why is all of that? See, stop paying attention to the creation. Stop paying attention to what he made. Look, it all looks that way. It's all an illusion just to get you to look. So, I'll put the snake there cuz you when you LOOK AT THE SKY, you got used to it. YOU GOT USED TO IT SO MUCH YOU thought it's blue. So, what I'm going to do put a piece of metal. Why? Cuz you like gold. You like copper. You like precious metals. You like fancy schmancy things. I'll put some fancy schmancy things over there. Go look at this. Look, it look like shiny. Shiny like a little kid. Look at shiny. Chiny. Look. Look. Look. We look and then we start realizing, wow, where did this shiny stuff come from? You start realizing the shiny stuff came from Hashem. If the shiny stuff came from Hashem, the snake also came from Hashem. When we start realizing this, we start realizing that who runs the world. When we realize that the world and we want to pay attention to what did he say, not what did somebody decide that I can handle of what he said. What did he say? Because if you're going to rely on messengers, you're probably not going to do so well. Why? If you were running a multi-million dollar business, you were about to buy a $50 million building and you wanted to get the details and you want to get to it. So, you're going to have some helpers. You have a lawyer, you have an adjuster, you have an insurance guy, you have all types of people, but at the end of the day, if you're really the bus, you want to see with your eyes. No, the bus. This is I check. Okay, you check. Thank you for checking. That's why I pay you for. But I still want to see it. I want to see the building exists. I want to see there's really tenants. I want to see it actually has some stability. I want to see with my own eyes. I want to see the numbers in my own eyes. I want to see the bank account. I want to see it. Why? I want to see for myself. I don't want to just depend on a uh on some messenger. Why? Maybe you made a mistake. Maybe you're stealing. Maybe I want to see with my own eyes. So in business, every businessman here, every businesswoman here understands exactly what I said. I want to see it in the end. I'm not just gonna buy something. I'm gonna order 50 100,000 of a certain product from China without seeing a sample. I want you to send me a sample first. Let me see the quality. Then I'll buy the 50,000. No, but sir, it's good for you. Okay, it's good for you, too, but let me see the sample. No, but you don't need to. The sample cost $200. Let it cost $200. I want to see the sample. No, but sir, it takes three weeks to get it. Okay, so let it take three weeks. No, but don't you want to order the 100,000 pieces now? I do but not until I see the sample. Why? I want to see with my own eyes. So a person has to make sure they see with their own eyes what did say in the Torah and not just rely on a messenger because if the messenger is telling you you're at you're at and you inside you know I'm not exactly that. The rabbis call me but I drove the shoe with a car on Shabbat. The rabbis call me a sadik, but uh the rabbi knows I'm married to uh to Maria. She's not even reformed. She's not even deformed. She's she's trying to take me to the church on Sunday. She told me some Jewish rock star with long hair died and uh that's why I need to go to church. So the rabbi called me at sadi and really uh I know I'm not at sadik. So can I really trust this? No, I can't. I have to see for myself. I want to see where it says somebody. What does it say somebody? What did Noah do? He did the opposite of the whole world. Everybody wanted to waste seed. Everybody wanted to steal. Everybody wanted to do everything against Hashem. Noah said, "I'm going with Hashem." That's why Hashem called the Sadik. So, a person has to stop relying on the messengers. That's why I always tell people even if you watch my don't trust me. Trust the sources. I mention sources. I give you page numbers. Go home, look up those page numbers. Double check. Why? That's what we're supposed to do in this world. Double check what it says because if it says it, that means we have to do it. If that's what it says, that's what we have to do. But if somebody says, listen, call is and and is and never again and and all types of wonderful things. Okay, that's wonderful. But what is it written? Some of the stuff is written. Some of the stuff is not written. Some of the stuff is written, but it also writes a few other things. When it says, which is what we read in our all of the world to come, that's wonderful. Wow. Even the guy with Maria is going to No, not so much. Why? Because it also says right after that, meaning all of those that are part of that have not cut themselves out of being part of is they have a share of the world to come. And then the Mishn says and these are the people that have excluded themselves that have removed themselves from is and it gives you a whole list of different sins. Among them is Shabbat. Among them is immorality. Among them is being a idol worshipper. All types of things that unfortunately today most people don't even realize is a big deal. So it's nice to hear that all of is sh to come but it's much more important to understand what it means and to read the rest of it. That's what you have to check. You have to check. You can't just rely on a messenger go up to says listen but but THE RABBI SAID THIS ON YOUTUBE. YEAH. Rabbi no rabbi you're obligated to watch dua. You're obligated to learn says a person that makes a accidental sin accidental but only because he intentionally did not study Torah. What does it mean he intentionally did not study Torah? There was a Torah. This guy your own Ruben from Florida is coming. But no, Rabbi, I can't come today. Why not? It's a soccer game. It's a championship. It's a championship. Rabbi Messi and Pepe and Tepe and all those. They're all KICKING THE BALL. EVERYBODY AT THE SAME TIME, everybody's kicking the ball. Rabbi, I can't come TO THE SHALOM THAT I WOULD miss the championship. Okay, you missed the first. Okay, fine. Next sh comes. Rabbi, I'm sorry. Can't come. Why? Because a bunch of go took this piece of leather and they throw it in a basket. They throw it in a basket. And Rabbi, today it's the most important game of the last 20 years. Why? Because the ones with the blue shirt are playing against the ones with the green shirt. And it's whoever wins is the champion. Guess what? You didn't go to a you didn't open a because of some game, because of some business deal, because of some dinner, or the best one. Rabbi, I'm sorry. I can't come to the shield to Why not? My friend has a birthday party. What is he? Three years old. He's having his kalake. You have to be one of the people that cut the hair. No, Rabbi. He's 31. You're so funny. Wait, you still celebrate birthdays at 31? What do you guys do? You guys do a cake. You put 31 candles. And he goes, he blows the candles or you guys help him? You guys celebrate birthdays. 31 candles. You go. Oh, you put the Oh, you put the ones the the little uh thing the three and the one to save the candles. Everybody birthday party. You're 31. What are you celebrating? Birthday party. Why you celebrating? You got older. Okay, listen. There's a Maka for you. Two people celebrated their birthdays in the Torah. Do you know who and those are the two people that celebrate birthday party? Now again there's no problem of celebrating your birthday. I know some people like to buy celebrate birthday party. No problem. But if that's going to cause you not to come to a that's a problem. You want to celebrate birthday no problem. Save me a piece of the cake. But if that's going to cause you not not to come to then say then that means you didn't study Torah on purpose and because you didn't study Torah on purpose you didn't know that what you're doing is a sin and therefore you made the sin accidentally but because you didn't study intentionally the accidental sin now counts as if you did it on purpose. So you see we see that wants us to know the truth. Why? Because he's about to close the store. But what happens when a person has made so many different sins that the BMPto says that he's like the walking dead that he cannot listen to Mel. He has no amuna. If he's listening to this shu and it hasn't caused him to say you know what maybe I should do chuva maybe I should get a little bit better maybe I should make time to learn to if nothing happened in your heart this whole time that I'm talking for about an hour nothing changed do me a favor do yourself a favor as soon as you get home and if you want extra credit you could even start now start crying about yourself why that's the only thing that's going to help If a person hears you hear the real Torah and it doesn't do anything for you, you don't want to change. You still want to be married to Maria. You still want to be married to to Stephano the model. You want to still continue doing whatever it is that you're doing and nothing changes. Start crying about yourself. Start crying. It's like dead inside. Yes. Yes. Yes. It is. You know, you did it. But if you really cry, you really want to change it will help you says a person wants to become purified will help him but he has to want to be purified. He has to want to change. He has to want to be better. So if all of the warnings around the world didn't work, then send you the app. He sent you the AI rabbi app. He sends you the YouTube and the Tik Tok for the rabbi that says the the truth. And even if that doesn't work says if you cry to me, I'll help you anyway. I'll help you anyway. But at least try, at least do something. At least show me that you want to be better. Show me that you want to be better. Show me that you want to get close to me. Because one of the things that the Navi, the Navi says in says, "I shall await Hashem who has concealed his face from the house of Yakov. What does it mean? Was a little grandson came to I believe it was the some say it was one of a different and he came to to him and he was crying. She says why you crying? He says nobody wants to play with me. Okay. So maybe you wait for one of your friends. No, I was waiting for him all day. I looked for him all day and I he come and starts crying. Says Saba, why are you crying? He says, because you remind me of what the Navi says. What are we supposed to be doing in this world? We're supposed to be waiting for Hashem who has concealed his face from the house of Yakov. and I will hope for him. Meaning that a person is supposed to be crying. Hashem, where are you? Hashem, where are you? I don't see you. All I see is disaster. All I see is anti-semitism. All I see is please, I'm looking for you. I'm looking for you. Where are you? Where are you? That's what we're supposed to be doing. We're supposed to be looking for Hashem. We're supposed to try to get closer to Hashem. Why? Because everything else that you see, it's all show. It's all a show. Whether you have a building, you don't have a building, you have a car, you don't have a car, you have this, you don't have this, it's all a show. It's all temporary. It's all temporary. What we're supposed to be doing, we're supposed to be looking for Hashem. So when a person has not been looking for Hashem and then when he hears hears the ma, it doesn't do anything for him. At the very least, they should have mercy on themsel and start crying to Hashem and say, "Hashem, how come I don't feel anything? How come I don't feel anything? How come nothing changed? How come like I'm doo nothing? No nothing. Same thing. Same rock came in, same rock left. How come? How come? And if you cry enough for says, "Ah, now you're looking for me. Now I'll show you. Now I'll show you." When the salvation comes, the says and they will say on that day, behold, this is our God. And they will say on that day, behold, this is our God. We hope to him and he would save us. This is Hashem to whom we hoped. Let us exalt and be glad in his salvation. In so many words when the salvation eventually come. It's not supposed to be a surprise to everyone. It's going to be a surprise to people that didn't expect it. It's only going to be a surprise to people that weren't looking for Hashem. But if you were looking for Hashem, you say, "Where are you, Hashem? Where are you, Hashem? I have my job. Oh, I got my paycheck on time. Oh, here you are. Oh, Shabbat came in. We have We have food. The kids are healthy. The wife is healthy. Here you are, Hashem. If you're constantly looking for Hashem, then you see him everywhere. But if you weren't looking for Hashem, it's going to be a little weird. Why? Because you're going to see a bunch of people say, "Ah, THAT'S THAT'S HASHEM. THAT'S HASHEM. That's the one I've been looking for the whole time. That's it. That's the one I've been looking for. That's him." And you're going to say, "What are they looking at?" No, Dad. Well, you you haven't been looking also. So, the goal is to take some words of mul to take some things to heart and say, you know what? How could I be closer to Hashem? Starting now. How could I do something to show Hashem I'm looking for him? What can I do every day to show Hashem I'm looking for you? I want you. I don't want to feel empty inside. I'm tired of things not not doing anything. What can I do starting now that shows Hashem I'm really looking for him that he's more important to me than the baseball game and the basketball game and the stock market and the real estate and the Bitcoin and all the other stuff. He's more important than me. What? I'm looking for him. What can I do starting now? And if a person finds themselves in a situation that they haven't really been moved by the last hour and 15 minutes, then like I said, you have a recommendation from the BMT to himself. Start crying for your own start crying to Hashem because that in your level that is enough. That's enough that all of us will not only look for Hashem, cry to Hashem for ourselves, but also fulfill the we love our fellow Jews like we love ourselves. And just like we cry for ourselves, we cry when we want, we cry when we want, we cry, we want children, we cry when there's shalom, any type of problem. Let's also start crying for the rest of that hasn't been that hasn't been connected to each and every single person has to know that when a mashia comes he's going to ask you what did you do to bring me what did you do I kept Shabbat kept Shabbat for you oh I kept kosher kept kosher for you oh I uh I protected my b that's also you I got married to me no you got married to the you got married to your wife, you got married to your husband, that's for you. I prayed. You prayed for me. No, I mean I kind of prayed three times a day. Sometimes I forgot it was it was but I I tried to pray. But you prayed for you. What did you do to bring me? It says the goel, the Mashiach comes to bring salvation to people that used to be people that used to be criminals. What does it mean? The goel comes when people do chuva. The comes when people do chu. When does chuva, the the mashia comes. So did you help people do chuva? So the could come. Oh, I was worried about myself. Oh, so you only worried about yourself. You didn't worry about the Mashiah coming saying Mashiah. No, it's not going to bring Mashia. I promise you. You could put the stickers in every wall in the world. It's not going to bring Mashiach. Just like the sticker, you guys know the the number one campaign in the Jewish world in the last hundred years is what? Never again. Never again. That's the number one campaign. They've spent I don't know how many hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions of dollars, letting the world know. Never again. Raise your hand if you believe never again. According to the world that we see in now, right now the go says again, again, again, that's what the go is saying again. So never again didn't work. Why? The stickers didn't help. The stickers didn't help. The plan didn't work. Saying mashiach now is also not going to help. Why? Because dua specifically tells you mashia to you have to help. You have to help. Some people are going to fulfill the mitzvah of helping do chuva by talking to them, by convincing them, by giving them a uh one of these uh tablets, by giving them a sh a link, something so they're going to do something. Some people are going to do it in a different way. Why? They go to work every day. They make money at the end of every couple of weeks. They get paid whatever once a month they get paid. Whatever it is they do, they take m They donate. They help, excuse me, they help us pay for the plane ticket. They help us pay for the uh stuff, the books, all the uh wonderful things that we do and we do the job for them. But either way, every person has to know that before the Mashiach comes, we have to be ready. We have to number one start looking for Hashem, start crying about ourselves, start crying about our brothers and sisters that haven't woken up yet. And most importantly, we have to help the rest of that has not come together yet. The rest of that is has such a that when they hear mousar, they run away. We have to show that we also care about them. Why? Because we have din. What's one of the went to reash he told reashivazi community is doing well. We have some money. What do we need these theim for? What do we need these Zionist for? These for? What do we need him for? Let us get out of here. Let us make ourselves a city. Make yourself a thing and separate ourselves from all of these. What do we need? We don't need the government's money. We don't need them their support. We don't need their army. Let's just go find a community somewhere and uh finish with it. They're one or two generations away. They're going to be going already and we're going to stay secluded. Shalom says not allowed. Why not allowed the shabas? Why not allowed? They eat torque. Why not allowed? One of the former government members publicized that he wants everyone to cut his body and eat him after he dies. This is 25, 30 years ago, maybe a little longer. He was said when I die, he was such an atheist. He says, "I want my friends to cut me up and cook me and eat me." Why do we need to be social? We need to be next to these types of people. Brother Yashim says we're not allowed to separate from them. Yes, from those we're not allowed to. Yes, from the guy that goes to the beach and the guy that goes to the We're not allowed to. Why? We have We are their guarantors. We are responsible for them. So long as he stays, so long as he stays intermar, it's on us. It's on us. It's not enough to say, "Rabbi, but I keep Shabbat." It's not enough. Why? Your friend's not keeping Shabbat. Your friend's not keeping Shabbat. That's on you. And guess what? Even if you are like in the kil I went to a few days ago, MY EVERYONE'S RELIGIOUS. I FELT like I was in Ganed. Everyone's religious. Even the people that had questions that were like not so religious, they were religious. In fact, one of my said, I asked him, you know, you guys don't have problems with Shabas, right? He goes, he says, Rabbi, even if all of us turned to go, we'd still keep Shabas. We love it. He tells me, we love it. WE LOVE SHABBAT. WE'RE NEVER GOING TO be Shabbat. We love Shabbat. It's vacation for us. But that's not every ka. Unfortunately, all of us know somebody in a family that's not keeping Shabbat. All of us know somebody that's watching some things that are inappropriate. Sometimes it's the person that we see in the mirror. All of us know somebody that's intermarried. All of us know somebody that's in the cash advance business and is destroying the society and is causing because you know what some of the things that a lot of us know we didn't know it's a problem one of the shim that I gave I talked about merchant cash advance and somebody some rabbi called me to complain says what are you talking about isn't it a mitzvah to lend to the go money we charge him interest said I'm sorry it's not a mitzvah No, but the Rambam says it says look at the Rambam has he lists every mitzvah. Which out of all the mitzvah that the Rambam said says that you're it's a mitzvah to lend the go money with interest. Open the book, find it and call me back. I'm still waiting for the phone call. You know why? It doesn't exist. So how come people think it? Because they didn't study the topic. They didn't delve into it. They didn't double check. They just heard somebody said they heard somebody said this and somebody said that. Don't trust anybody. Look for yourself. Double check for yourself. The Torah is a book of instructions for Is to be a light to the nations, not to be darkness on the nations. There's no permission whatsoever for a Jew to hurt any Gentile unless he's Amalech and you have the permission to kill him. But we don't know who Amalch is and therefore we're not allowed to kill anybody and we're not allowed to hurt anybody. And in fact, if you steal from a non-Jew, it's worse than stealing from a Jew. So a person has to know that wants us to all become better but not by ourself. All of us know somebody that needs some help but not all of us know how to communicate and in fact some of us shouldn't communicate because we get angry, we lose our patience, we do all types of things that instead of getting the guy to do chuva, he wants to run away. So, for this reason, I always tell people, it's better that you don't do kiru yourself with your mouth, but let let me do it. Well, I've been doing it for a long time. I'm pretty good at it. Some people like me. And guess what? I have different types of tools for all types of people. Different types of tools for all types of people. If he likes business, I have a tool for that. If he likes technology, I have a tool for that. If he likes questions and answers, we have a tool for that. We have all types of tools. If he speaks Chinese, Arabic, Portuguese, German, French, I have a tool for that also. We have a whole system full of tools. We have a team, dozens and dozens of people on the team. Some employees, some volunteers, some experts in their field. And all of us are working around the clock to develop more and more tools. So, we have all types of tools. One of the tools, like I said before, some of you are familiar with it, some of you have never heard of it, is this thing. This is the biggest innovation in the Torah world of outreach ever. Why? It takes 19 hours of the best films we ever made and it puts it on a tablet that doesn't require internet. Doesn't require internet. And all you got to do is open it. Once you open it, it turns on by itself. You don't even need to know how to press a button. And if you like my voice, I start singing to you. Some of my one of the shim as I was waiting for everybody to go online, I started singing. One of the liked songs so much he made it into a song and we all we have a whole YouTube channel and Spotify channel and iTunes channel that has songs. We have over 200 songs. But after that, then you have the films. 19 hours of films. It starts off with my film about my life. Then it goes into the different films like the tikunit kom all types of uh Torah and science, the signature of God. 19 hours in so many words after you finish 19 hours of this. If you're not a rabbi, you're duk something's wrong with you. But this is a tool doesn't require internet. Why is it so special that doesn't require internet? Because that means you can give it to anybody in every community. Whether you're in a satir community or in your Bkharian community or you're an Ashkanazi or Safhari, it doesn't make a difference what you are. You can give it to anybody. This is simply a tool. Anyone wants to get it. You can buy it from the website. The point is this is one of many tools. There's also obviously my YouTube channel, there's the app, there's the Bzantem app. If somebody that you know has a lot of questions, we have an app called AI Rabbi. AI rabbi.org. You could download it. It's on the Bzantem uh website. You could also go on iTunes and Google and so on. And you could simply ask the AI rabbi any question you want. It'll not only give you an answer, it'll give you an answer with a source. What's the source? Some of the sources are Ra Vik Miller, the Bedin, uh all types of reliable sources that we have and my lectures. But yeah, but Rabbi, your lectures are three hours. So I'm asking a question. Is this allowed? This not allowed to give me a three-hour lecture? No. Come on. What you think we're stupid? We're professionals here. What do we do? The AI will give you the answer your question that you asked today in the year 2026. He's going to give you three or four of my lectures where I spoke about your question, but it's also going to be timestamped. Meaning that when you press on that link, it'll take you on the exact spot of that three-hour lecture where I spoke about your question. So, you're going to go to 1 hour 26 minutes and 11 seconds. Why? Because that's when I talk about your question. So these tools were only made because of the nephesh of teamm of the supporters and the donors. Everybody had to sacrifice something in order for all of this stuff to become available. Why? Because we're all running out of time as hem is closing the store. There's no more time. So speeding up the success said that before Hashem sends the Messiah, time is going to go faster. What does it mean time is going to go faster? If you asked that question 20 years ago, you'd need a very long answer. In today's world, you don't need a long answer. Just simply, if you're about 20 years old or older, you already know what I mean. Why? Look at how technology was in the early 1990s. Okay? Okay, in the 1990s, they developed public internet. You had America Online. Yay, I get email. And it takes four hours to turn on the computer. Fast forward 10 years, you have Amazon. Everybody gets boxes to their houses. If you don't get boxes to their houses, the the whole neighborhood starts becoming worried. Are you sure you don't have any money? Maybe we could do StockA for you. So, how come you're not getting boxes? Everybody else is getting boxes. How come you're not getting boxes to your house? Everything's okay. And you guys getting a divorce. You guys becoming what happened? So, Amazon comes out, everybody gets boxes. You fast forward a little bit more and you see how YouTube becomes more popular than television, than major networks than anything else. And guess what? Some of the people around the world develop a connection with the rabbi, connection with Hashem, connection with the holy Torah by watching them online, even though they've never met him in person. People transform their life as a result of this. And if that's not enough, Akadoshu in the last several years has made artificial intelligence a standard in practically every household. If you look at the first version of AI that became popular a few years ago, chat GPT, and you compare it to what was released just a couple of months ago, it's as if it's we just passed 50 years. And guess what? Next month when they release another version, it'll look like this version that we have right now is completely obsolete. It's a garbage. Why is speeding up the clock? He's giving us all tools that we can use to sanctify his name. So, everybody here takes this to heart. Starts asking, "How can I show you that I really want to be better? What can I do?" They start asking themselves, "What could I do to be better?" Number two, start crying about themselves to be better. Number three, start crying about the rest of to be better. And number four, and most important, do something about it. Do something about it. Because all of is responsible for each other. When a sends the mashia, he's going to ask us all a question. What did we do? We better have an answer. We better have a good answer. Oh, I did this. Look, look, every month I I gave this. Every month I did this. I did something. Everybody has to have an answer and we all succeed in doing so. Now I know I spoke for a while. Now it's your turn. You guys can start asking some questions and will give us the answers. Yes. >> Sorry about the chair. >> No, no, it's good. Great. Wonderful. We doubled the amount of people here in the last hour. That was great. >> You mentioned the civil war in Israel. >> We're coming out of World War II. Are you referring to the versus the and how could give us something like that after war with Nazi Germany who could do whatever he wants because he runs the world. And when it comes down to the war we had in uh you know the Holocaust. It was a necessary war because it was the only thing that would wake up a nation that was getting closer and closer to becoming simply disconnected from Hashem altogether. So again, this was no different than a surgery that has to cut off a piece of person's body. He loves his entire body, but he knows that if he is uh stubborn to save that one piece of his body, the rest of it is going to die. So now, as far as what's going to happen at the end, we have a film called Gogum Magog. And this film Hashem has 116 different sources from across the different parts of the Torah that show different parts of the Torah that talk about Gum Magog, what's going to happen, who, what, when, how. There's many, many more sources that I mentioned, but this is the ones that we mentioned in the film. And you see that a lot of what the Nim said is going to happen is happening. For example, if you look at the world of what it was, not now, not even uh a thousand or 2,000 years ago, but 100 years ago. 100 years ago, the number one way that the Christian world got the Jews to become Christians is how? By killing them. Simply threatening to kill them, killing them, combination of both. That's the way it was. If you were to say back then, listen, one day you Christians are going to pretend to be Jews. They're going to laugh at you and say, "You're a psychopath. You're crazy. You're a crazy person." Needless to say, 500 years ago, thousand years ago, 2,000 years ago, right? But the midrash says midrash from over a thousand years ago that before sends the mashiach there's going to be a group a large group of goim that are going to say we are the real Jews. You guys are fakers. You guys are not the real Jews. You with the keepa with the speaking Hebrew. Your mom is uh Bkari. Your father is uh you're not Jews. Who are we? Jose and and and and uh Jerome and all of those people from the hood. We we we ARE WE ARE THE REAL JEWS. The guys that are wearing Mortal Kombat outfits and making YouTube videos like it just came out of a video game. We are the real Jews. GUESS WHAT? THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY. >> YEAH, that's what's happening today. A bunch of these goim, we're talking about millions. We're not talking about 1, two, 5, 10. Millions of them. the black Hebrew Israelite that doesn't like to be called black Hebrew Israelites even though most of them are black. Guess what? When I was a kid, we used to see these crazy people screaming in the streets. Nobody paying attention. Why? Small minority crazy people. What are you paying attention to this uh to this uh superhero? What are you paying attention to him? But today, they're approaching nearly 10 million members. nearly 10 million members. Okay, that means that within the last five or six years, they have multiplied themselves. And guess what? Virtually all of them believe they are the real Jews. So there's almost as many goim that have no connection whatsoever to the to to the Tanakh that believe in idolatry that are completely have no clue what the truth even looks like. There's almost as many of them that believe there are Jews than there is Jews in the world. Now, this prophecy was completely unimaginable 100 years ago, but today we see its reality. The same thing goes with a lot of different things. And one of the prophecies that the talks about is that before brings the mashia there has to be a series of wars culminating with what's called goum magog go is in essence it's a series of wars but there is a last segment of it and the process is that twothirds of the world will be destroyed twothirds of the population. So if you have let's say 9 billion people, six billion people gone. Three billion are left. That means that the majority of the world is still non-Jews. But most of them are going to be righteous. Some of them are not going to be. Some of the Jews are left. Some of the Jews are not left. And guess what? The last three billion or the last third that's left, Hashem is going to test them like you test gold and and and silver. How do you test gold and silver? David over here knows how he test gold and silver. Is it fun for the gold and silver to be tested? Not so much, right? Usually gets burned a little bit. Usually gets hurt a little bit and then what'sever is left is really the that's what's going to happen with the last third. Only the righteous will survive. So this is a process. It's going to be a painful process. But the good news is we already know what's going to happen ahead of time, which means that we have time to prepare. So there is no promise in the Torah that a holocaust will not happen. There is a promise in that everything that you see in the world today as reality will change drastically. So much so that the makot the plagues that we saw in Egypt are going to look small in comparison to what's coming. Why? Because everything that happened in Egypt will be magnified. For example, the says in as well that in Egypt the plague of darkness was three days. At the end of days when Mashiah comes before the ultimate salvation, it'll be 15 days. 15 days of darkness. We can barely survive one Shabbat without a phone. One Shabbat. Some people tell me, "Listen, Rabbi, I keep Shabbat except that I have to use my phone. That's not keeping Shabbat. That's not keeping Shabbat." "No, but Rabbi, what am I going to do all day without a phone?" I said, "Well, one day it's going to be 15 days." Not with a phone, not with a TV, not with a car, not with even vision. you can't see anything. So, this is all going to happen. Now, this is not for the sake of scaring you. This is for the sake of warning everyone enough to spark up that inner sha so I could start getting prepared. Now, every ima that hears Shabbat a holidays are coming, what does she do? She starts getting nervous. Yeah, but ima pes is in two months from now. I got to start cleaning now. Why? It's in two months from now. Yeah, but I got to start cleaning now. She starts cleaning the walls, the windows, the ceiling, the next door neighbor. Everybody's clean. By the time pes comes, you start the whole neighborhood is clean. Why? She knows it's coming. I have to prepare. Shabbat, she starts getting prepared on on Sunday. What's Shabbat just came out. We already start cooking for next week. Why? I got to prepare. I got to prepare. Same thing with this all of that I'm saying to you the movie of Go Magog the the movie about gay the all of these things it's not for the sake of purely scaring people just for the sake of scaring it's simply to inspire a person to prepare if I know that this is coming why does Hashm want me to know ahead of time so you can prepare so the goal that we have right now is to do as much as we can to prepare for the future that's ahead. When is the future ahead? We don't know. Nobody knows. Some people can tell you, "No, it's going to be in 15 years because it's a round number and according to the calculation of the Ramban, then it should be within 14 years." And then there's other that say 20 years and there's other and in reality nobody knows because it could happen tomorrow, it could happen next week, it could happen in 20 years. And the Rambam writes that anyone that puts specific times gets a curse from Shamim. So it's not a good idea to put any numbers. Why doesn't Hashem want us to know exactly when it's going to happen? So he doesn't ruin our free choice. He doesn't ruin our free choice because we he saw already what happened when people had all the time in the world. At the time of Noah, people lived 800 years, 900 years, 1,000 years, 1,200 years. So Noah was telling him, listen, you got to do chuva. Come on, Noah. I'm young. I'm only 370 years old. I still got time. I still I got 500 years good. Got five. My father lived till 1,000. My grandfather, 1100. So probably most likely I'm going to be around 900 950 years old. Maybe a thousand. So I'm only 300 on baby. I'll wait. I'll do whatever I want for another 600 years and then I'll do chva. I'll be like you. Why? Because he thought he had all the time in the world. Akadu doesn't want us to think that way. wants us to think that the goel could come at any given day and everything that will happen with that could happen at any given day and what's happening over the last few years is showing us that anything can change on any given day. We see that the world has changed drastically in the last few years. So the good news is that we are here and we have the opportunity to change now and that's the goal. Somebody that changes, he's using the information that Hashem provided to us for his benefit. Someone that doesn't change it will go up to Shim one day and Hashem is going to tell him this is your punishment for the first day. This is your punishment for the second. This is gives him a whole calendar goes oh but but I didn't know WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. YEAH, you missed a chance. I gave you I gave you messages. You you didn't do it. Instead, you were too busy going to vacations. So, let's use the opportunity and not worry so much about the time of when it's going to happen, but rather worry about today because that's the only thing that's going to help us tomorrow. Don't worry about what you did in the past. Don't worry about what happened in the past. Don't worry so much about the future. Worry about what you're doing today because that's the only thing that's in your hands. Do the best you can today and tomorrow do the best you can tomorrow and the next day do the best you can the next day. And every day do your best. And if it doesn't work out so well one day, guess what? It's not the shim you'll have tomorrow. And every day you try again. Some days will be better than others. Someday you're superhero. Someday Hashem says, "Look at that. I got a little in our generation. The next day he's more like okay. Okay. We'll give him another chance. We'll give him another chance." And that's what we say every day. Meaning that Hashem put in the sh because of his am in me. The his am in me. What am in me? I believe that he can be better today than he was yesterday. Yesterday he acted like kak. Today he's going to be like why? Today he has another day. So that's the goal. The goal is for all of the shim. Whether it's the really really scary ones or it's the less scary ones or it's the what the whole goal of all of the shim. The whole goal of the entire Torah is inspire you to change today. It's not about changing yesterday. You can't do anything about yesterday. All the stuff you did yesterday gone. It's not even about the future. Why? Who knows if we're going to live to see the future? Don't worry so much about the future. So, yeah, but go. Oh, and I see that there's ships coming from Russia and one of who cares. Don't worry about so much about that. It's not going to help you to to have a bunker. It's not going to help you to have knowledge of all the special weapons that different countries are going to use. None of that's not going to help you. What's gonna help you today? Today get closer to Hashem. Today pray to Hashem today. Cry to Hashem today. Support to publicize today. Today do something today and tomorrow will be better. >> Yes. >> A few questions. We'll give you one at a time because I'm sure there's some other people want questions. But let's start. >> How can a person get to actually >> how can a person get to learn to enjoy? Sometimes it might seem like a burden. Oh, that's a great question. Actually, in the in the Israeli the Hebrew sh that I did uh just a couple days ago, they asked a similar question and uh they also like the answer. What's the answer? If you want to have a party, you want to have a party and people like to have parties, right? They want to have a wedding, they want to, you know, buy a house. Instead of buying the house, they have the wedding, right? Because it costs almost as much these days. So what do they do before the they just say listen to the the we're going to show up to this building and then uh we'll figure out no what do they do they prepare they prepare they get the flowers they get the DJ they get the mita hopefully they get the kosher food but it's not just any kosher food it has to be the best kosher food so they go to the catering place and they taste the food say this is not good we're going to go to somebody else and oh this is not so good with somebody else at the end they go to and they buy for him because he has the best stuff but the reality is what do you do you prepare Right? How much do they prepare? How much should they bust your traps before they finally decide yes? Oh, everybody everybody everybody has to understand why if you want to enjoy Shabbat, you have to prepare. You have to prepare. So, what are you prep? How do you prepare? How do you prepare for Shabbat? The best thing to do is to set yourself up in such a way that you know what you're going to do every hour. Every hour. Initially, you know you're going to go to synagogue, right? Most likely you're gonna go to synagogue. After you go to synagogue, you're gonna go eat. So you want to know what you're gonna eat. But Shabbat is not just about food. At some point you're going to finish eating. You want to know who am I going to talk to while I eat? Who am I going to invite to as a company? Who am I going to invite? My friend. I'm going to invite my cousin. I'm invite my son, my daughter. Who am I going to invite? Who am I going to talk to? And after we eat and we talk, then what what do we do after we get out of the table? Oh, so maybe we'll play uh a little game. Maybe we'll read a book together. What book are we going to read? So we pick a book already ahead of time. Oh, we're going to take one of Friday's books. I'm going to read it together because it talks about So now you do that. Now you finished. You did your whole schedule for what? Friday night. But then you have Shabbat morning. Shabbat. I'm going to go to sh I'm going to eat. I'm going to drink. I'm going to do whatever I'm going to do over the but then eventually I'm going to eat again when I get home. What am I going to eat? So everybody prepares for the food, but they forget what to do after that. They forget what they do after that. So what do most people do after they eat? They go to sleep. They go to sleep. Then they go and they uh they pray again and then they eat as if they haven't eaten in five years. Uh like like as if they didn't eat just a few hours ago and then Shabbat's over. And then they're surprised they don't like Shabbat. Why? They ate, they slept, and it's over. So what do you do instead of just preparing to eat? Who am I going to talk to? Who am I going to invite? What am I going to do after if nobody comes? What am I going to do if everybody comes? What am I going to talk about? Maybe I should prepare a story. Maybe I should prepare uh some maybe I should uh do something we could read out loud. We if we I have a company I have a new guy. He likes Torah and science. So let me get a Torah and science book and read it to him. Maybe uh he likes uh you know uh different things about um Amuna. So read a book about amunah. Get something that is going to interest you and the company you have. And even if the company you have is only you. But prepare ahead of time of what you're going to do during that Shabbat. And if you prepare, you prepare yourself with a book. You prepare yourself with a story. You prepare yourself with everything other than the meal, then guess what? That Shabbat will turn to be the best day of the week. Because as soon as Shabbat is over, you're going to say, "Wow, this is so amazing. I can't wait till next Shabbat." Why? Because now it doesn't look anything like the rest of the week. Because the rest of the week, what do we do? We wake up in the morning, we pray, we go to work. And every day is the same thing. We pray, we go to work, we pray, we go to work, we pray to go to work. It's the same thing. So eventually a guy wants to make his life more exciting. So he quits job and he gets another job. And then it's the same thing again. And he prays, he goes to work, he prays, he goes to work. It's just a different office. But it's the same thing. So if your Shabbat is the same thing where you pray, you eat, you pray, you eat, you pray, you eat. Then it gets becomes mundane almost becomes boring. You don't do anything. Nothing's exciting about it. It's the same thing every Shabbat. But now, if you prepare ahead of time, just like they do for the weddings, just like they do for the bar mitzvah, just like they do for anything that's special, then guess what? Shabbat becomes special every Shabbat from the from the beginning. Why? Because this Shabbat that I prepared with this book, this Shabbat that I prepared with this meal, this Shabbat that I prepared with this guest is nothing like the next Shabbat. Why? It's a different guest. It's different food. It's a different book. It's a different game. It's a different conversation. And it's even a different time to sleep. So the more you prepare, the more you're going to be happy. And how do we know this works? Because the Shabbat says someone that prepares for Shabbat will eat in Shabbat. Doesn't mean just someone prepares the food for Shabbat will eat in Shabbat. Everybody prepares food Shabbat. But somebody that prepares for Shabbat will eat will enjoy Shabbat. The on of Shabbat. The on of Shabbat requires preparation. You'll enjoy your Shabbat. And then once you enjoy the Shabbat after you prepare, send me a message and we'll show everybody, look, it worked for him, it's going to work for everybody else that's going to do it. Yes, >> I have a family, right? Everybody responsible for each other and I tried to properly >> right. trying to be straight because I know he and I try to bring him to I try to be like a little by little by little but doesn't feel like he wants to change feels like choking but I feel like there's so many beauty into Judaism that's possible and I've been trying to explain you can explore other parts of Judaism anything you want you can find >> but it's hard for me to help him get him there he doesn't want to change so I don't know >> you can't a person doesn't want to change you can't really help him because he doesn't see a need in everything. Now the question is why does somebody get to that point where they feel like they either they don't want to believe in Hashem or they don't believe in Hashem or even if they believe in Hashem they don't want to change in order to serve Hashem. Why? 100% of the time it's because of tavot they're they know that if they change they'll have to change their actions. So even though they say I believe in Hashem, even though they say Israel, even if they put a muza on their jewelry business and they they they continue using their name of Moshe because even though it's a Jewish name, they're proud of being Jewish, but they don't actually want to live a Jewish life. It's only because they have tavot. They're connected to a certain sin that they don't want to change. They're connected to gambling. They're connected to zoot. They're connected to uh you know, all types of things that they know Hashem does not allow this. Hashem does not allow it. And if I if I publicly admit that I believe and I follow Hashem but continue to be uh doing all the things that are wrong, then I'm a hypocrite and they don't want to be a hypocrite. So they just want to say I'm not going to do anything. Meaning in their in their logic, the convinced them that if I don't do everything, I'm not going to do anything. But it's wrong. So the ultimate possibilities for such a person are as follows. One, they die that way. Shalom. They die that way and then they'll go to gay and never come out. Anyone who wants to know the details, as I told you, there's a film called Gom that we made. It's a three-hour film, 176 different sources. I talk about all the different things that happened over there and why and who and what and when, and even real footage of some interesting things. That's option one. Option two. Option two is they one day they decide listen I uh I do want to change and they do it slowly. They decide that they like one mitzvah whether it's daka whether it's a shield to whether it's something and they that keeps them connected to a certain point and hopefully at some point or another something will happen in their life to motivate them to to do a little bit more. But usually option two is not a possibility. In most cases, it's not enough. Especially now since we're running out of time. So, option three is the most common. Option three is gets involved. And what does get involved in? That means that their jewelry business that's making a half a million, a million dollars a month, all of a sudden the the the government seizes it. All of a sudden, their their their best friend, their best friend that happens to be their partner steals the entire business. How does how could a person steal an entire business? You were best friend. So you wrote everything on his name. This the corporate the certificates of the company are on his name. The bank account on his name, the office lease on his name. And one day you show up to the office and guess what? The key doesn't work. The key doesn't work. What are you doing? What's going on? You start knocking on the door and then all of a sudden you see this little news new new secretary. Yes, sir. How can I help you? What do you mean how can I help It's my office. No, sir. It's not your office. We don't know who you are. WHAT DO YOU MEAN, MUSHE? MUSHE, tell this girl that I'm It's my office. What? What? What do you want? What? All of a sudden, he pretends like he doesn't know you. And guess what? There's nothing you can do about it. Why? Everything's on his name. One shot, 10, 20, 50, $100 million. Gone. Gone. The government took it. The partner took it. Your your ex-wife took it. your ex-wife's new husband took it, something happens puts the person to shame. And then when a person loses everything, he loses his health, he loses his money, he loses uh all types of things that are valuable to him, then he has nothing left. So what does he do? He looks up at Hashem, you broke me. Please help me put myself together. That's option three is the most common and likely option for most people. The only problem they have is that they don't know when their clock will end and therefore they don't know if option one will happen before option three. So hopefully they do chuva and uh they uh they don't wait for to get involved. But uh right now it looks like uh there's uh a personal account that everybody is getting a personal message that everybody is getting and hopefully all of them will actually listen to the message and do cha before it's too late but those are usually the only things. Next question. Yes. >> So regarding >> yeah a person trying to learn for example so many of them. >> Yeah. >> But he's sitting because of his lack of ignorance on he hasn't learned yet. >> Yes. So is he like is he going to be judged with that the same way? >> Yeah. So a person is if he learns and whatever he learns he does then he's already going in the right direction and the fact that he's making sins because he doesn't know is not considered mis because he's learning. He's learning. He's trying to get there. He just didn't get there yet. He just didn't get there yet. Like for example if let's say I'll ask you guys a question. If, let's say, you're walking in the street and uh one of your friends that happens to own a barber shop says, "Yo, Moshe, no, look at you. Look at you. How you looking?" You said, "Come on, no. No. Come, come. I'll give you a haircut." So, this is your boy. He says, "Okay, you know, let me get a haircut." Cuz you're thinking that what? He's your friend. He's calling you to give you a haircut for free. He sees you go in, get a nice haircut. And he says, "Okay, Moshe, it's $60." What? What's $60? My $60. You said you gonna give me a haircut. Yeah. I didn't say free. I didn't say free. I said, "Come, give me I'll give you a haircut." Or let's say, for example, he says, "Mushe, mash, come, come. I'll give you a ride. You're walking somewhere." No, I'll give you a ride. He's a Uber driver. He's a Uber driver. He's a taxi driver. You go in the car. You think you get a free ride. Why? It's your boy. It's your boy's giving you a ride. You get a destination. Okay. It's $378. Why? What are you talking about? You were giving me a ride. Yeah, I give you a ride. That's what I do for a living. So, the question is, do you have to pay or no? How many of you raise your hand? How many of you have to pay him? No. Think you have to pay him? How many of you pay him? No. No. Nobody wants to pay him, right? Almost three, four people want to pay him. How many of you say I don't have to pay him? >> No. Raise your hand. How many you want to pay? Almost everybody doesn't want to pay him, right? You have to pay him. You have to pay him. Why? It's your fault that you thought it's free. It's your fault. This is what he does for a living. It's not like he pretend he was a camel driver and now you pretended to cut hair. He cuts hair for a living. The fact that he called you, that's his business. That's his business. You thought it's free. It's your problem. It's your problem. So the fact that you didn't know this until now. If you made the mistake, then certainly it's not. It's not it's not on purpose because you didn't know this even exists. You didn't get to it until you get to the shure on at 8:00 at night that goes until 4:00 in the morning. You didn't you didn't you learned it now. But if let's say for example the guy that was supposed to come to the shoe and he didn't come to the shoe and he makes this mistake tomorrow, he's got a problem. Why? Because he didn't come to the show on purpose. But he wouldn't have space anyway because it's packed. But anyway, the key is to know that as long as you're learning and then you're doing the best you can, you're going in a fantastic direction. So much so that just like the says that that a person that becomes tries to become purified, Hashem will help them. What does that mean? That means that is not going to put a stumbling block in front of you. He's not looking to make you sin. So he's not going to put those situations that you don't know about in front of you. What is he going to put in front of you? The stuff you do know about. You know that you have to protect your eyes. You're not going to look at this one and that one. This one that one. You know that you're not allowed to eat kosher. You're not going to go to McDonald's. You know that you're not allowed to do certain things. So that's what Hashem is going to put in front of you. Why? Because he wants to protect your son. You're his daughter. You're your your son. He loves you. So he's not going to put you in a situation where it's a trap. What does he get out of it? It's all for you. What is he going to put in front of you? What you do know. And what you do know is is is what you're responsible for. Just like for example, people think that I know everything. I don't know everything. I only know the answers to all of your questions. But that makes me look like I'm smart. No, it's not true. But the answer is how come I know the answers to all your questions because that's what puts in my mouth. It has nothing to do with me. It's because of you. You need to know it. Therefore tells me what it is. Therefore happens to be that that's what I learned. It happens to be that's what I learned. The answers to your questions. So that's why we started a series called stop the rabbi something like seven eight years ago with a group of kids teenagers. I used to give them $15 to come to the show, but it would cost a lot of money because every shoe 110 120 kids would show up. By the end of the week, I'm out like $15,000. And uh anyway, I would give these kids money to come to the show and I would tell them, you know, ask a question and I'll give you an answer. Now, we thought this is Sh, you know, this will happen once, twice, three times. This year was going till this day. We don't do with the kids anymore because I haven't done sh in public for a while. But the stump the rabbi continues until this day and there are I don't know how many thousands of questions that have been asked over the last I don't know seven or eight years and until this day continues to give me the answers for all the for all the questions and it's not because I know everything it's not because don't think that I am I'm some no it's just that whatever I learn you happen to think about whatever you think about I happen to learn why because I want to do good fork's children and akadu says okay so you want to be the messenger I'll give them the questions for your for the stuff that you learn I'll give you the answers for the stuff that they ask it's a good next question if somebody didn't ask a question yet would be fair to everybody >> oh you have a question you answer about the butcher >> oh the sati when he was a young so this is actually the first story I heard about the sati He came to town and he wasn't a well-known person yet, but that didn't change his mind. So he heard that there was a rich Jew in a community that was having a party with mixed dancing. And unlike many people today that just hear about somebody that doing makes a sin and do nothing about it, he decided to do something about it. He went to the place and he sent somebody to go get the owner of the get the guy that's doing the party. The guy came out. He's like, "Who is this young? What do you want from me?" Yeah. Complete disrespectful. Doesn't know who he is. What do you want from me? This little religious guy. What do you want from me? He says, "You're not allowed to do what you're doing. It's a soul." What? You're telling me what to do? And he pushed him. He pushed him. So the sadi says that hand is going to be chopped off. He got what? Pushed him again with the other hand cuz that hand will be chopped off too. He pushed him again and this time the Rebi fell down. All of it's going to be chopped off. The guy left, went back inside and had his party. He had a party, drinking, partying, dancing. Seemed like a good time. Later that night, he went back to his factory. apparently apparently had a I think some type of meat factory or some type of factory that has grinders in it and uh he fell down the stairs right into one of the grinders and he became little hot dogs and this happened literally within 24 hours. It wasn't like a year later and they connected the story 24 within 24 hours that night that's what happened after that and until this day a hundred years later people are scared of the sati why they realize that sadik says fulfills the shalom said that the smei got the the highest level of kushana's generation he was one of the 36ikim and this also answers why I saw what I saw in his community. Even though the sad has already gone to Ghana for many many years, but still you see the unity within his community. You see the within the community. Yes, of course, some are more, some are less, but the point is you see a unique type of unity and and and unique type of community that's unlike anything else that you could compare it to. There are other out there, but this is you see there's something different here. Why the sati is still alive till this day. People still listen to you know little recordings of his that you can barely even understand but they still listen to it. Why? Because he wanted to ser at the highest level and bring the rest of his with him. So that is hadikim like this that we can learn from and there of course there are many other that we can learn from. The key is to learn from them and to apply it. But uh as far as the uh the stories, every Tadik has enough stories to write a thousand books. Next. Yeah. In the back. >> Oh, okay. Yes. >> Very good question. So what can we do each person can do in order to improve their situation in order to have a favorable judgment especially since we are about to get into alul especially since we're right around the corner from says that decides on how much life a person has left. What does it mean how much? Whether he's going to live or he's going to die. Now when you say that to most people most people don't really take that seriously. Why? Because everybody think look at I'm only 25 years old. This has nothing to do with me. Yeah, but you realize that not everybody lives till 120. So, but most people don't think that way. So, what do they do take to heart? Also decides how much money you're going to make. Most people care about that one. Most people care about that one. So, yes decides how much money you're going to make. How much money you will lose. Decides if you're going to get married or you're going to stay single. decides if you're going to have kids or stay without one decides whether a person is going to be sick or healthy decides all of these wonderful things that we need to care about and should care about and most likely do care about on and that's just around the corner. So what can I do to improve my judgment? Not just for Mashiach when he comes, not just for Aba when it happens, but even for now, right now, what can I do? Like I said, the first thing and foremost, look at your own actions from based on the existing knowledge that you have of what you know you need to do. You know you need to keep Shabbat. You know you need to be modest. You know you need to to eat kosher. You know need to business kosher. All the things you know, check yourself versus the stuff you know you need to do. If you know, listen, I know I need to do this, but I'm not doing this, then guess what? Start doing it. If you know your business is not kosher, shut it down tomorrow. If you know your business is not kosher, if you are taking advantage of your customers, there's no way for you to do honest business. Shut down the business tomorrow. If possible, tonight, even though there's no customers, probably. Why? Because every single second you make money that's not kosher is considered blood on your hands which makes it impossible for you to get ganed. It's impossible to go to Ganed. Even if you keep Shabbat, even if you do everything good, all 613 mitzvah except one. You've stolen money on your hand, you cannot enter gun. And you'll have to be reincarnated as something, not necessarily always as a human being in order to pay the money back. Sometimes you can be reincarnated as a uh as a horse, a mouse, an eagle, all types of wonderful things. Maybe we'll put you in a zoo. But guess what? In the zoo, you don't get the $150,000 salary that you that you made in in illegal money. In the zoo, you get, you know, 3 cents a day as an eagle. So, it's going to take a long time to to eventually pay that money back. So, if a person makes money in an unethical way, in a way that's against the Torah, stop it immediately. Why? It's ruining your chances of going to gun edited. So you know if you're everybody knows if their business is honest or not. Everybody knows if their business or not. How do you know? Listen. Are you cheating your customers? Are you lying to them? Are you telling them it's new but really it's refurbished? Are you telling them that you're doing them a good deal but in reality you know you're stealing from them? Are you tell Everybody knows if it's honest or not. You don't need to be a Sadik. You don't need to be Baba Sally. Everybody knows if you're doing business honest or not. So, if you're doing business honest, you have a check mark next to your name, good job. If you're keeping Shabbat, good. But if you're not keeping Shabbat, you know if you're not keeping Shabbat. You know, if you're driving on to to somewhere on Shabbat, you know you're not keeping Shabbat. If you're playing with your phone on Shabbat, you know you're not keeping Shabbat. If you're smoking cigarettes on Shabbat, you know you're not keeping Shabbat. So, stop. So, those things that you know, fix them right away. That's one. Number two, if you have issues with morality, and no, I'm not going to ask anybody to raise their hands because then I know we're going to have some embarrassment because everybody's uncomfortable. But the reality is this is not just your problem. This is a generational problem. Everybody has this problem and everybody can overcome it. We have helped thousands upon thousands of people overcome the issues of morality. And yes, I'm including men and women, young and old, married and single, and even rabbis that have issues with morality. You have those issues, then you could get tikun bleed guide that we have on our website. It's free and you could start watching those shim and start overcoming those issues. That's something you can fix right away or at least start. Number three, you make money. You have you're not living on just money that's arrives at your house. You have some job. pays you money, take a piece of that money if possible. If you have enough amuna, at least 10% of it, and if you have a lot of amuna, 20% of it, and help us, be partners with us so we can help other people do cha. Why am I not saying donate the money to publicize toad? I'm saying specifically us because I'm the only place that I know what happens with the money. I don't know what happens at other institutions. Maybe they do good, maybe they don't do good. I have no idea. What I do know is we publicize our results. We show our results. We show where the money goes. everybody could see it. It's all public information. And the beautiful thing is that every time I tell different people about uh about what we've done, they say, "Nobody does that." I said, "Well, yeah, that's the goal." So yesterday, for example, I sat with somebody and I uh told them some of the things that we do and I said, "Yes, and we we have books that we publish and uh" he said, "Yo, how much do you sell them for? Where do you sell them?" I said, "No, no, no. We give them for free." He goes, "What do you mean you give them for free?" Said, "You give her the books for free." And I showed him some of the books. He goes, "Yeah, but this book in a store, it's going to cost $30, $40." So, yeah, we've given out 368,000 in counting. 368,000 books in counting. That's where the money goes to give food to poor people and and to to help publicize a name. So, when a person becomes partners with us, I know that that money is going to be well spent, that's going to increase your merits. So if a person takes their seriously by improving the things they know they're making a mistake and on top of it they take the time that they spent in this world working and they take a piece of that and they invested into their invested into helping other then guess what everything you fix on your own good but then there's stuff that you have to worry about the past if you invest the money to help us help other people every time somebody else does chuva for every Every time somebody does chuva for modesty, every time somebody does chuva for idolatry, every time somebody does chuva forbat, it goes to your account. So we start fixing your past for you. You worry about today, we'll worry about your past. And both of us are going to see Msiah and smile and say, "This is what we did. This is what we did." So these are the things that I think everyone here can do because not it's not it's not difficult. It's not difficult. It's pos it's stuff that you know stuff that you know and it's stuff that you can do and if everybody does that we're going to do a lot of big things. Next question. Yes. >> What's considered not being fair to your customer? >> Yeah. Well, it depends if uh if you are let's say for example you're providing a service and you're saying I'm going to do uh I'm going to coach you and I'm going to charge you what I I used to I used to be in business and uh I mean I didn't have a service fee but on the average I made $3,600 an hour. So if you wanted an hour of my time it was $3,600. Today I charge $8,000 but it's still a discount. Uh but uh the point the point is is that I knew that that time is worth it for them. Why? Cuz I was providing them service that is going to make them a lot of money. And some people were willing to pay me. Whoever wasn't willing to pay. Don't pay. No problem. That's what I valued my service at. Some people agreed with me. Some people disagreed with me. No problem. To charge a service fee. And if that's what your value is, that's what you want to value. That's no problem. There's no problem with doing that. There's no problem with being expensive. In fact, my opinion is if you're not expensive, there's something wrong. If you're not expensive, there's something wrong. Why? That means if I want the best, the best cost a lot. Now, if I'm not looking for the best, if I'm just looking for the cheapest price, then you know that's a different type of service. So, generally speaking, good service that's really good service is going to be expensive. So, there's no nothing wrong with being expensive. There is something wrong with being a liar, though. What's being a liar? telling somebody, "Listen, this cup, it's gold." No, but it's clear. No, no, no. It's gold. You just don't know. I This is a special type of gold that that doesn't exist anywhere else. And this cup, I'm I'm giving you a discount by giving it to you for $1,000. Now, you know that he goes to every 99 cent store, you could buy a,000 of these for 99. So, that is a problem. When a person misrepresents what they're actually giving somebody, they're telling them that listen, this is worth $10,000, but in reality, everybody knows this is worth a penny. Once you do something like that, that's against the Torah. Once you are misleading somebody in such a way where you're confusing him in order to make him make a mistake. So, for example, you talk fast or you mix your words in order to confuse him because uh you know that he's not really paying attention, but you want to make it seem as if you told him because you know that he's going to come back to you with a complaint in a week from now when he finds out that what he thought he got he didn't get and he going to pretend like he told it to him. So there's all types of ways that a person could be manipulative where they could uh speak in such a way where they could say well you know we did and this and they skip words and the guy thinks you're actually talking and in reality you're not there's all types of ways that a person can be manipulative is a person that can give him documentation where they say listen you see over here this is where it says this but in reality it says something completely different says you don't even have to sign because we take care of it for you or like they do in the cash advance business where they say 9% recovery rate. Now, that 9% recovery rate means absolutely nothing. Because they're not recovering anything. They're not a factoring business and they're not charging the guy 9% interest. They're putting the 9% recovery rate on many applications because they want the guy to make make the guy think that number one, they're factoring company that is, you know, going to uh get collect his receivables and uh and number two, they want the guy to think that they're actually charging him only 9%. But in reality, later on, you're going to see, oh, it's 1.5% or 1.6%. So, the guy thinks, wait, it's maybe it's 9% plus 1 and a half%. So, this guy's charging maybe 10 and a half, 11%. No, what is he charging you? You're charging 1 and a half% per day, which means it's nearly 50% a month, which means that you're paying somewhere around 650% interest, but you're not going to know it until the guy starts pulling money out of your account. So, that's manipulative. That's that's so being honest. Everyone knows what being honest is. If you're honest about your price, listen, I'm going to do this. I will give you this in return. No problem. But if you're being dishonest, then it's like the the guys that are doing construction and they say, "Listen, how long do you need to do uh this job?" Oh, sir, two weeks we're finished. Two weeks we're finished. Now, the guy already knows he's not even going to get to the job until two months from now. He knows he's not even going to get to your house for another two months, but he says two weeks. Why? Because he knows you want to hear it. That's dishonest. So, don't do that stuff. Say what you're going to do and do what you're going to say. You go that route, you're going to be okay. You're going to be okay. >> Yes. Yes. In the back. Yes. Ma'am Les. Yes. Well, the the the Rabakov Kouli wrote it about 300 years ago and he wrote the first two sections, the Besit and Schmut. And uh he would fast from week to week as he was writing the and you see it, you read it until this day, you see how much had because if you look at every page in the law literally it has hundreds and hundreds of sources. It's unbelievable how many sources he used in a single sentence. So every time he covers a point he covers it in such a way where you have a lot of different things. So there's no way for us to cover everything that he said. But I can tell you one way that a person could understand what the significance of lying is. Lying is not just you lied to the guy where you didn't say the truth. Lying is a few other things. Number one, it's means that you stole his mind. You led him to believe one thing and you did something else, which means you let him to to do certain things because of what he believed. He thought that you're going to do something. For example, like we use the uh the uh the construction person that says promised you he's going to finish the job in two weeks and really he's not going to even start until two months from now. Now, because he thought you're going to do it in two weeks, he budgeted the project differently. He planned certain contractors differently. He did a lot of things differently because of what you said. And therefore, it's as if you stole his mind. you killed his whole plans because everything he decided was as a result of of what you said. So the person that lied gets the pro the the punishment for all of those that domino effect of problems that happens as a result. That's number one. Number two, when we right before we pray, we sayem, you're going to open my mouth and I will say I'll praise you, right? So, I'll say I'll say words to praise Hashem. This is the only reason why the mouth was created. Your mouth was not created for you to eat. As much as we like to all eat, especially if it's good food, the reality is that's not the reason why your mouth was uh was uh was created. Why? Because we know I spent a lot of times in hospitals and every time I go to hospital, I don't eat anything. Why? Because they give me this little IV and that's how you eat for a week, for a month, for two months, for however long you're there. You don't have to eat regular food until you recover enough and you can start eating their other disgusting food and then you want to become healthy. Uh but the point is is that the the body does not need to eat through the mouth. It doesn't it can eat it can consume energy in other ways. It consume different things in other ways. The mouth was created in order to praise. The mouth was created in order to sanctify yourself. So a person has to know that when they use this holy vessel called the mouth in order to do something that's against Hashem then they are instead of sanctifying a kadosh's name they're desecrating a kadoshu's name and says that the only reason why everything exists in the world was in order to sanctify name because he's the king of kings we're here to serve him not him to serve us so much so that if you sanctified Hashem's name today, good. It was worth it for Hashem to create you. But if a person did not sanctify name today, there's no point to create him. That's what the says. Meaning, it's not just sanctify his name one time. We have to find a way to sanctify name every day. WHY? THEN IT'S WORTH it for him to create us. So if a person uses the only tool that you could have to sanctify name but to do the opposite then it's in essence it's much more than a sin. It's antithetical to the entire creation. It defeats the purpose of even being created. So that's another way that a person that lies creates a certain domino effect of consequences. Now, of course, the says other different reasons of how how this is a sin in other different ways, but most importantly, it's there's a mitzvah in the specifically says that from a thing of lies, stay away from. It doesn't only say to stay away from to to not do lies, but rather to stay away from it. Why to stay away from it? Because even if a person is not a liar and a person does not lie himself, but their friends or their co-workers or their boss, they're all liars. The people that they associate themselves with, they're all liars. The Tawa says you're going to be infected by it. Also, you work for a liar and you know that they're a liar and you know that they're cheating customers, guess what? You'll be infected by it. Even if you yourself are not lying. So for example, if a person go back to the same business that I've talked about several times, the merchant cash advance business, which is a evil, inherently evil from beginning to end. There is nothing good that ever could come out of that business. Why? It is destroying people's lives. And anyone that wants to know the details, we have a book about it. We have shim about it. We talked about it a few days ago. A lot of people don't realize how evil this business is. Now, that means that even if you It's not just the broker that is lending money with high interest to people that's in trouble. It's not just the owner of the cash advance company. It's even the secretary that answers the phone. Oh, hi Mr. Jones. Oh, you want to speak to Yakov? Okay, Jacob. Okay. She transferred the call. She didn't tell the guy anything. She didn't sell him anything. She didn't do anything. She is she's a friend of a corrupt person. She's part of the lying system. And guess what? She'll also be punished. So to stay away from lies doesn't only mean don't lie. It means don't be part of lies. So if you know that someone is lying, whether it's in business or it's in uh anything else, don't be part of it. Don't be part of it. And the more a person wants to stick to the truth, the more will send them the truth. What was the next question? Yes. >> Repeat that again. I was reading that someone gets reward someone who's righteous >> said that people get the third option which is they get a >> wake and who gets >> oh very good so the Rambam right that there are different levels of sins that can remove a from this world and make them lose their uh their their ability to do chuva. Now that doesn't mean that they can't do chuva, but rather because an average person can do chuva and hashem will help them in a normal way. So for example, a person wants to start keeping Shabbat now. You didn't know that he has to until now. Hashem will send him different people to help him keep Shabbat. Different things to help him keep Shabbat. Whether it's money, it's friends, family, and so on. Hashem will help him. we'll give him there's going to be to help him fulfill that mitzvah. On the other hand, there are certain sins that a person can do where they could lose that extra help. So, for example, even if they want to uh to let's say start keeping Shabbat, but they're not going to have somebody offering them any help, no one's going to invite them, they're going to in fact instead of enjoying Shabbat in the beginning, they're going to suffer. Why? Why is there a difference between those two cases? Because the first guy didn't do it because he didn't know. He didn't know the consequences. He didn't know he has to. He didn't know anything. The second guy, he knew he has to do it. He used to keep Shabbat as a kid, but he decided, not only did he decide to stop, but he decided to get his other friends to stop also. He became he became somebody that causes other people not to keep Shabbat. So Hashem says, "Yeah, you could technically still do cha because you're still alive. I kept you alive so you could do cha, but I'm not going to help you. I'm not going to help you until you break the the you really show that you're you're you're a real bal. So this is also the difference between certain people that you see that there are certain that even and his father and all of the prophets really cried over it where you see sometimes wicked people prosper and righteous people suffer talks about it in time and time again and he explains that this is all a test of your amuna not the amuna of the wicked person ama of the righteous person and of the person that's looking from the outside perspective that says look this guy Akav is an idol worshipper is a uh is a all the worst things in the world but yet he's the king yet he's a multi-billionaire yet he has power yet everybody bows to him says yes I put him there in order to test the rest of you if you believe in my Torah you'll believe in reward and punishment and you'll know that whatever he has that looks like benefit is only temporary It's only temporary because life does not end with this world. Life continues beyond this world. This world is like a corridor in comp comparison to real life. So if I told you to divide a a million by a million you say it's one. If I told you divide a million by a half a million you get it's two. A million by 100,000 it's 10. A million by 100 and so on. But if I told you to divide a million by 01 it's almost nothing. It's almost nothing. You or infinite. Why? Because this life, let's say a person lives 70 years. 70 years is virtually nothing in comparison to infinity, which is how long? It's forever. So people look at this world as if it's forever, but it's not. So when Hashem sends wicked people to this world and he gives them a lot of shea a lot of a lot of uh material a lot of power it's in order to test the rest of the people because if it was so obvious where the righteous person is automatically rich is automatically handsome is automatically uh has everything good and the wicked person has everything bad. He wakes up and he has AIDS. he goes to the bathroom and uh you know his parts of his body are falling off then guess what that removes the free choice that removes a free choice so gives us tests and if you read co you see there's a lot of commentary about the words that says because initially some people think that what says everything is everything is meaningless he's not he's it looks like it's depressing but it's the opposite what is saying to us is that all of the things that people put value on are worthless in comparison to what's really valuable. A worthless in comparison to what's really valuable. But it's not so easy for the average person to see it if they're not connected to Hashem. Because if they're not connected to Hashem, they're looking at balance sheets, bank accounts, popularity, subscribers, likes. That's what they look at. And they that's how they determine what's good and bad. You know today in order to be the uh the do you guys know what what's required >> followers >> followers on the internet followers subscribers likes if you have a lot of likes subscribers you are number one rabbi in the world now if you know the entire sh by heart not so much if you are a not so much if you're sadik you're not so much but if you have a lot of subscribers in the eyes of the world that's full of ignorance you're or if people say that uh that you know everything even though they don't know if you know everything because they don't know themselves anything but they say you know everything that can also make why because people don't have a concept of what the truth even looks like in order to know how to determine what's true and what's not. So instead of determining whether uh somebody is uh uh being rewarded or punished we have to know what does want from us. If we see that a certain person is doing things that are against Hashem, he's violating Shabbat, he's stealing from his customers, he's cheating on his wife, she's cheating on a husband, he's married to a man, he thinks he's a girl, all of the he thinks he's a horse, all of these strange things that people do today, then guess what? You don't need to ever be jealous of him. In fact, you should feel bad for him. Why? He's doomed. And even what looks good is only an illusion because you don't know what's happening behind the scenes. You don't know what's behind the scenes. A lot of times you find out about the famous billionaires of the world after they die and you realize that they're very very different than what people thought. Like for example, when Steve Jobs Steve Jobs was alive, you know, people admired him. People thought he was the greatest thing in the world. Oh, iPhone, iPad, da da, all those different things. But guess what? all the stories that came out about his life, everyone pretty much curses him out. Everyone hates him. No one can no one uh uh discounts the fact that he was uh brilliant and uh innovator and all that stuff, but everyone hated his guts, but no one knew it until he died. No one knew that. So, it was all an illusion. It looked like he was happy until all the billions that he had could not afford to buy one liver. So, it was all an illusion. And it's the same exact thing with everyone. For example, people look up to Warren Buffett, greatest investor of all time, blah blah blah. All those things that they say about him. In reality, if you look into Warren Buffett's personal life, it's a miserable situation. It's better to be homeless in the street than have his personal life. So that's the thing. You can't look at the material possessions of people and determine that's happiness. So if you look at someone, don't look at what they have. Look at what they do. If they do good, you can be assured everything is okay. Why? Hashem is with them. Hashem is with them. But if everything is bad, even the uh trillion dollar net worth is not going to help because Hashem is not with them. So whatever they have is in fact paying them in this world just like it says in he pays his haters cash to their face to destroy them. So it all determines it all depends on who, what, when, as far as each case by case. But in general, you have to look at what they do rather than what they have to determine what they what where they're at. Any questions? >> Huh? Oh. Yes. >> What does it mean to sanctify God's name? >> Sanctify whose name is make a whose name greater in the world. Now, Hem's Hashem's name is is endless and there's really not enough that we can do to make his his name greater. Like so for example the uh after you see the you do the part about you you you say all types of wonderful compliments about Hashem and say that you're not allowed to add more meaning whatever it says that's what you should say. Don't add more words. Why? Because when you add more words, it's as if you're saying this is all he is. But it's not. These are specific words that said we can never give him enough compliments. We can never under, you know, truly uh show him as great as he really is. So there's not enough good that we could ever say that's justifiable. He's greater than anything we can describe. He's better. He's more merciful. He's he's is everything is is better about him than we could ever even think of. But at the same token, even though we can't describe his greatness enough, we have to try to make other people see that. So if let's say for example, a person does a blessing. There's a way that they could sanctify Kadosh Bku's name. There's a way that they could be considered a thief. And there's a way that they can be considered a uh a diff there's two different types of being a thief. How so? If they say if they don't say a blessing, let's say they want to eat an apple, they just eat the apple without blessing like a horse. Doesn't make a blessing. He wants to be like a horse. He just eats the apple without the blessing. Says he just stole from Hashem. How did he steal from Hashem? Hashem created good. and you didn't even thank him for it. So eating without a blessing, benefiting in this world without a blessing is considered as if you're stealing from Hashem. Second type of way of stealing is if you do a blessing but you do it, there's people around you but you do it like this. You guys ever see that? You see those people where they make the blessing so low that even they can't hear it themselves. Guess what? You just stole the blessing from everybody else. Why? It was you had to give them the opportunity to say amen. A man is meaning God me king is reliable. What he says in the Tawa is what he's going to do. You had an opportunity to give him to say something that's even greater than your blessing. The aan is even greater than the blessing. But when you say, guess what? He can't say amen. Why? He doesn't even know what you said. Would you sneeze? What? What did you do? Something's wrong with you. You have a hard time breathing. What? What are you saying? So, second type of way of stealing with blessings is when you say it just to yourself. Don't say blessings just to yourself. Say it loud enough. You don't have to scream it. You don't have to be like one OF THESE NEW BITUAS. NO, DON'T do that. Don't do a show. It doesn't need to be a show. It's just an apple. It's just an apple. Relax. It's okay. We know it's an apple. You don't need to scream in the middle of Broadway and say to everybody it's an apple. It's fine. Everybody sees it next to you. They can say amen. You only do a show. You know, sometimes people get so excited they start screaming. Don't need to scream. Normal and so on and so forth. And somebody can hear you that's next to you. And if no one's paying attention, tell them listen, I'm about to say blessing. Say amen. And you give them a benefit to actually say amen, which is like I said, even greater than the blessing itself. Now, so those two are the negatives. The positive is is if you say a blessing and you say a blessing properly where you break it up into three and you tell somebody to say amen, then you're magnifying's name. Number one, you're showing somebody else by your example of how to say a blessing. Number two, you're showing the guy, listen, your amen is important. Your amen is important. It's not just word. It's not like the Gim the Gim say amen also by the way, but ask any go. What does amen mean? What does amen mean? I don't know. We say it in church. Why do you say amen? We heard it from the Jews. They have no idea what amen means. Amen is an acronym. It's an acronym. So when we say amen, it's it's significant. In fact, the say it was worth it for to create the entire world with all the people in it, all the tragedies, all the good, all the bad, all the everything for one Jew to say amen. For one Jew to say amen, it was worth it. So when you tell the guy, listen, your amen is important. All of a sudden, all of his amens are important. But don't be one of the people that says, "Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen." Like, you know people that go like they start stuttering for no reason whatsoever. They say, "Amen 50 times." Don't do that. Why? It's one amen. One amen per blessing. Why? If you say amen multiple times, calls it amen. It's an orphaned amen. Orphaned amen means there's a blessing. There's one amen. All the extras that you said don't go anywhere. And those amen will chase the person and do some nice thing to him. So don't do don't be one of the people that says a for no reason. Just one amen. Why? Cuz cuz you want to show you have meaning. Every amen is significant. Hashem created the world for this. Amen. So you do that. Good. Once you do what I just said, then on top of that, you're showing people, listen, I'm blessing because he gave me something. He gave me this benefit. He gave me uh this uh this fruit. He gave me this vegetable. He gave me this wife I'm about to marry. He gave everything a wine. Whatever it is that you have. Not that I'm comparing wives to wine, but sometimes one is easier than the other. But the point is that you have to say amen. You have to say a blessing and you're sanctifying a bah's name through that whole process. Why? Because you just really you just show the guy listen. It's not just the apple. It's the blessing. And one of the was uh about to eat an apple, but he saw one of his talim looking at him. And the talid wasn't the best talid. He wasn't like you guys here till 10 11 o'clock at night interested asking questions. He was like one of these tidim that was looking at the rabbi. is like, "What's the difference between me and this rabbi?" So what if he has 5,000 200,000 subscribers? So what? What's the difference between us? What's the difference? He eats an apple. I eat an apple. No, this uh adm wasn't just any admy's mind. He says, "You know what the difference is between me and you?" He says the apple when you want to eat it before you eat it you make a blessing right make a blessing I also make a blessing but the difference is you are making a blessing because the blessing is the only thing that stands in your way before you eat the apple you no you're a Jew you have to make a blessing before you eat the apple so the blessing stands in your way before you eat the apple so you're making the blessing because you want the apple. I only want the apple because it's an opportunity for me to bless Hashem. That's the difference between us. The only reason I'm eating the apple is because I want another OPPORTUNITY TO BLESS HASHEM. BUT I CAN'T MAKE A blessing without eating the apple. That's the difference. So when a person takes the blessings seriously, they're going to say them seriously. They're going to make sure other people pay attention to it seriously. Uh they're going to think about Hashem. And that's one of the things I said in the show a couple of weeks ago is that everyone should take every mitzvah that they do and find a way to think about Hashem during that mitzvah. So for example, you put on every day. Now usually we get so used to putting feline on. What do we do? Fast yala. When you're thinking about work already before you do that, you take don't just kiss it because that's what everybody does. Think for one second. One second. Who gave you this? Who made this commandment? Who made a piece of leather something special? Why is a piece of leather with some scrolls inside special? Why? Why is it special? If you put a piece of uh piece of leather on a horse, does he go to Ganedan? No. If you put a piece of leather with a scroll in it on an Arab, does he go to Ganeden? No. You put on a Christian, does he go to Ghana? No. Because didn't didn't command them. He didn't command them. He command them with their mitzvot. The horse needs to be a horse. The Arab needs to be a righteous noight. Stop killing Jews. The Christian has to stop being a missionary and abandon become a righteous nobot. That's what they'll go to Eden for if they fulfill it too. But you he gave you the mitzvah of putting on he gave you the and if you do that you go to Eden. So for one second before you put on think about why am I even doing this? Oh, because one second doesn't even I'm not telling you start thinking the youth cave of king your mind combine the letters black fire and white fire all the no just think about Hashem before the one second one second it'll change your entire day every you do before you eat now some people they wash their hands because they're worried they're going to be dirty because they're germaphobes but some people wash their hands because commanded so why command to wash their hands why so we're not animals We're not animals. There's a separation. Everything has a process. Think about hem for a second. In every mitzvah, it'll change your entire life. It change your entire life. Why? Everything starts having value. And it's not just the same robotic thing that all of us have become used to because you start doing mitzvot every day. You get used to them. You become a robot. You pray, you start praying, you know the whole by heart. Before you know it, you're like all together. Everything together. Why? Because it's all in your mind and you're not even sure if you're confused anymore. You're not even sure, you know, everything is good. Why? Because everything we get used to it. Don't do it. The the I'm sorry. The va the va was uh somebody asked him you know the entire why are you reading from why you reading from you know the entire by heart you know the entire by heart he says it's the only way I can have is if I can read it if I do from my mind I could easily lose kavana and not have the same intentions as when I read it so the go was reading it from you know knew it by heart I'm sure some of you know it by But guess what? The is lost if it's sometimes that way. For some people, it's even better by heart. Why? Because they can think deeper and so on. The point is what's the best way you can do this mitzvah? And by best way, I mean, what's the way that you could connect to Hashem with every mitzvah? One second for every mitzvah will change your entire life. 5 seconds for every you're at 10 seconds for every you stop. Why is it that when a person takes upon himself something spiritual good >> modesty let's say it's uh you know anything anything good I'm going to do something good >> okay all of a sudden crazy all of a sudden get healed >> okay >> why why is that magic it's >> not magic rather the vid says that he was complaining about the angels that were saying things that were negative about him because he says they're lying about me. Why are they lying about me? The angels don't just lie. Cuz the angels that were created from some sin that he made in his level, he says they're lying because I did chuv for that. So I'm not the same person anymore. I did chuv for that. I'm not the same person. What does that mean? He's not the same person. When a person decides to take upon themselves a mitzvah, it's not just they made a blessing and words came out of their mouth and that's the end. It's not just they put on and a piece of leather went around their arms, somebody made a couple thousand dollar selling and it's not 100% profit. I promise you it's usually around five or 10%. But it's not just that. The second you took on a mitzvah. The second you said one word in a Torah, you said the word. Okay? He said three words in a Torah to it just sounds like sounds. Sounds came out of his mouth. But if you said it because you're reading from a you said it because you're giving a shaw, you said it because you're learning to each and every single one of those creates something. Now you can't necessarily see it, but it creates something. some of the things that it creates destroy the negative energy and negative forces that were created before it from mistakes. So for example, if if a person made a certain sin, he creates certain messen we're not going to go into the whole details what they are in so many words you compare them to demons. Okay? Now you can't see them because if you did you lose your mind but there's a lot of them. Now, every time a person makes a sin, he creates those things. If they make wasting seed, they create zillions of them. And that's why sometimes the guy wakes up in the morning and his wife wants to kill him. He didn't even do anything yet. He just woke up. Why? Because he wasted seed the night before and those mikim are driving his wife crazy because he did something and now they're going to in essence take revenge against them. Why taking revenge against them? Because he created them without a body. The point is that a person creates makes a sin. He creates certain things. It's not just negative energy. We're not we're not a uh Buddhists. Oh, negative energy like it's just some air that smells bad. No, it's actual creations. It's actual physical. It's it's it's something creation. It has a body. It has a purpose. Uh if it's comes from a sin, its purpose is to destroy you. Its purpose is to torment you. Its purpose is to give you nightmares. Its purpose is to give you a life. That's a light a nightmare. That's the purpose of the mazik. On the other hand, if a person makes a mitzvah, they do something holy, they say words in the they uh they listen to, they do a creating positive forces, positive angels. Now, part of what those angels will do is destroy the destroy it. Part of what they're going to do is break the kipah that is separating you from a some of what they do is could even realign the uh certain spiritual let's just call it pipes from shamim that are connected to you meaning gives to every person he gives them sustenance to every person but sometimes you'll see that you and your your competitor are in the same business he makes a million dollars a month and you're in debt How could it be that he makes a million dollar a month and you're in debt? It depends. If you're wasting seed, that's why he makes a million dollar a month and you're in debt. Why? Because your shea you're giving to him. It's not that you're just losing your from the sin. But Hashem gives that shea to your enemy. So a person needs to know that some of these angels that a person creates from let's say watching their bre from keeping Shabbat from doing all the good things will now realign back that that pipe of shea back to you. So it's not that Hashem creates from nothing. It was always going down to you but when you made the sins you redirected it to the wrong direction. So sometimes a person will start protecting their ble and within 3 6 7 8 months all of a sudden their panam went up 50 100 200 400%. Now he didn't become a overnight genius. He didn't invent anything new. He was selling cups 12 months ago and he's selling cups today. People needed cups 12 months ago. They need cups today. What's the difference? as a result of his actions he realigned the shea back to hill back to where he was back to where it's supposed to be. So these are some of the things that are created. Also of course the more a person creates kusha the more they elevate their nama closer to the the source of shea. So this is also one of the things last but not least is if a person for example has a there's a evil decree on them. Let's say for example somebody has a family member that's about to die. They have a disease. They're about to die. Now the doctors say, "We're sorry. She has six months to live. She has 12 months to live. Sorry, this is what happens. This that's the way life goes." Yeah, but she's only 50 years old. Listen, it's not our fault. God decided it. What do you want to tell you? She's going to die in a year. Then the person says, "Listen, I really love her. I want to stay alive. What can I do, Rabbi? Do doing and are three things that remove the decree. Is to pray to Hashem. Chuva is to stop making sins that you know are sins. Is to give money. The problem with most people is they don't have a problem with praying. They don't have a problem with saying they're going to do cha and start keeping Shabbat. Where do they usually have a problem when it comes to why? Listen, Rabbi, you know, times are hard. I only made 100,000 last year. Times are hard. I only made 100,000 last month. Times are hard. I only made 10 million this year. There's one guy, one of the Rabanim from my organization went to uh community to raise some money for a colo and uh he said, "I met one guy that uh he tells me he uh he gives a million dollars a year in STA, and I told him he's going to get punished for it. He gives a million dollars in staka to to Torah places. But I told him Hashem is going to punish him for it. Why? Because he makes $200 million a year. So he doesn't even give male. Why would a kadosh give you $200 million for what? So you could How many buildings can you buy? How many helicopters do you need? You can only fly it one at a time. How many private? You make $200 million a year. you can't even give 10%. In reality, one one uh rich person came to Rav Steinman and he told him, I gave $10 million in the last year and Steinman who did not get impressed by money at all asked him, well, how much money did you make? He said, I made $100 million, so I gave myself. So instead of seeing a smile on the Golad's face of Steinman said why didn't you do the opposite says what do you mean rabbi says why didn't you give 90 million and you keep 10 million no but rabbi you know I made it's he goes but who needs $90 million what do you need it for what how much can you eat how much can you eat and the I thought he was going to get a compliment. In reality, he got a rebuke from do. Now, most people say it's easy for them to say, "Yeah, you should give more." If they don't have $100 million, it's a much harder test. The point is is that every person has to look at as something personable. Meaning that when you're giving taka, especially when it's a significant issue like life is on the line, uh there there's some big deal, make sure that the taka that you give hurts. Why? Because you're trying to change the mazal. You're trying to change the fortune. So a person that was told that somebody that they love is going to die and they're only 50 years old and he wanted to change. So he prayed. So he uh started doing chuva got better and then he decided to give a bunch of money to be decided to give a bunch of money to sanctify name. Not just 1% or 2% 10% or more. He gave a lot. And guess what? Sends me a message. He says, "Rabbi, we went to the doctor. We checked uh uh what's how much time she has left because she looked like she was feeling better. She was acting better. Everything was better." And then the doctor says, "Well, bring her bring her in." So goes, "No, no, this is her." Goes, "No, it's not her. It's different body. We bring her in." Goes, "No, this is her. Look, it's the same picture." Because well, the cancer is gone. So what's the difference between those two people? It's the same person. What happened? The decree of death, the decree of some type of horrible thing belonged to a different person. Cuz after they did chuva, after they did, after they gave the in essence, it's it's not the same person as before that. It's not it's the same body. It's the same, but it's a different person. Why? Because the person that deserved that decree was a person that didn't do chuva, was a person that didn't pray to Hashem. It was a person that didn't have any merits to have more life because they didn't give. But once they changed all of that, once they did cha, once they prayed to Hashem and say, "I'm sorry and once they gave and they acquired many merits, Hashem says, "Oh, it's worth it for me to give this person more life." The decree didn't belong to them. Where do we learn this from? of Hokenos was once walking on the way with several of his talidim. All of a sudden they see a huge giant snake cross the uh across the road next to them. Everybody scared except says snake I command you to stop. And the snake heard and the snake stopped. Don't try this at home though. Snake stopped. looked at says, "Snake, where are you going?" And a snake spoke to him, said, "I'm going to such and such house. Going to Abraham's house." Says, "No, snake. You're not allowed to go to Abraham's house." She said, "No, I I I got I was allowed. They sent me." He goes, "No, you don't have did chuva. I just spoke to him. He did chuva. He did chuva for that sin. You have no permission to go." Snake says, "That's what he said." Okay. He turned around, he left. Five minutes later, THEY HEAR SCREAMS. A SNAKE, SNAKE, SNAKE. Joey is dead. So Tomim of said, "Rabbi, I don't understand what happened here." He said the snake was sent from to kill. Originally the first target was Ara, but Abraham did. So Abraham did not deserve to be killed. So the snake left. Yeah. But Joey died. Yeah. Because somebody has to die. The bullet was fired. It has to go somewhere. It went to the next guy in line. It went to the next guy in line. Abraham changed himself. He no longer deserve the evil decree. So who gets it? Someone else that deserves it. So when a person prays, when a person gives daka, when a person does cha, they remove themselves from the decree. The decree will come. If it comes down, it comes down. It's somewhere. It's going somewhere. It's just not on you. and not on any part of any other questions. Same price. >> Yes. >> Yeah. There's there's four there's the talks about how there are four new years. There are four times during the year that judges different things. There's a time that he judges the the the plants, the uh the uh uh the trees is the time that he judges all of the people, both Jews and Gentiles. So there's different times that judges different things. And yes, during that time has precisely the uh the amount of what's going to happen uh in the world and this has to go somewhere if you will. Now again it's a uh it's something that we learned from the because the was once uh taught this to his when they came back from a trip and uh I believe it was Japan either Japan or India that they came back from and uh they wanted to tell him how they collected money and they did different things for the yeshiva and then he asked them well how are the goim doing over there and they told him why does the rv care about the goim he says What do you mean? Why do I care? We have to care. If something bad is happening to them, that's a warning to us. That's a warning to us. Why? If there's a tsunami in Japan or there's an earthquake in India, that's only because a is warning us to do cha it had to go somewhere. So sent it somewhere to whatever deserves it. But that doesn't mean that it's just they deserve it. That's also a warning to anybody else that knows about it. So if even if somebody heard that let's say their nextdoor neighbor died, the reason why it's their next door neighbor is because not only giving the decree to that person and their family, it's also because he's warning everybody around them. He's also warning everybody around him. So it's not just about what happens to a person and people that are directly affected by it but also anybody else that knows about it because it's a sending messages to each and every single person in different ways different warnings but ultimately the uh the way that au runs the world is very very precise uh there's a uh uh no end to the precision but again it's also from kindness meaning that the uh the disasters the the uh uh the good and the blessings are all perfectly calculated in such a way that not only uses it for the sake of reward and punishment but also to elevate certain certain that for example completed their tikun they have to leave this world but they're not necessarily all going to leave this world in a natural way sometimes a person has to die in an awful way just to end their life at a specific time even though they're righteous Why? For example, Rabamos, he got murdered just a few weeks ago. This is a righteous person. This is a person that helped a lot of people do chuva. This is a person that helped a lot of poor people, but he died in an awful, horrible way. And now that they're uh they're interviewing his murderer, his murderer is a psychopath that does not regret anything that he did. In fact, he says that I wish I would have bit him in the neck. Like he he's like he curses him out. He's a psychopath, the guy. Now why did Rabos or Rabk have to die in such a way? Rabi Aka have to die in such a way the the the 10 martyrs uh uh you know why they have to die in such a way. Number one, it's because this type of death had to happen as a specific type of tikun that their specific needed. Number two, it's also that type of uh gruesome death caused a certain amount of suffering to other people that learned about it, the other people that saw it, to other people that were involved in some way another that it causes them sorrow and that sorrow replaces much worse sorrow. So everything that a brings to the world whether it's a sick baby or or or some other type of tragedy that happens in the world everything happens for a specific reason not just because of the people that are directly affected by it but also because of everything that will happen around it. Even if sometimes that what happens around it is 20 years later. Sometimes a will wait for a specific person for 20 years to send him a message but the message already happened a long time ago. So everything is much more precise than we can imagine. It's just that uh the way we think of things is based on favorable and unfavorable. We look at things based on plus and minus neg you know negative or or or or positive. We look at things based on black and white. But the the world of Torah is not black and white. The world of Torah has also gray and blue and red and all types of wonderful colors that our eyes cannot see. >> Oh, >> valet parking expired. Whoever is the valet parking, you guys uh got it. But if there's any key questions you guys could ask could ask. If not, we could uh I could add to specific personal questions if you guys like. But I think we've gone along uh for for a while. So up to you guys. I'm here not uhification I personally feel like for myself let's say let's say >> okay so we'll make this the last question and then uh we can make it the last question so everybody can go and know some of you guys won't be gone for almost three How much is too muchad? How much is not enough? Is your effort how much would you spend? Everything that a person does, he has to do things based on what normaly is. Meaning meaning you don't need to work three jobs or four jobs just because you want to be rich. One job is more than enough. You don't need to work overtime and uh and and three times the time in order to make it. You could work normal schedule. 9 to5 is enough. 9 to6 but 03:00:42.0
