WHY We MUST WORK? - Bitachon B’HaShem (6)

[Music] all the new faces old faces uh continuing our series of uh the uh sh will also be for for all of those that were injured on the attack by the evil terrorists uh Ishmael that are bombing is today for the last 24 hours last I heard was 600 missiles I've been shouted our brothers and sisters and whether you're pro Israel or not is irrelevant at times like this uh we always remind people that even though we can't stand uh the Israeli government which is itself comprised of some terrorists literally uh the Arab terrorists are actually part of the you know keset uh and some Kim and atheists and so on nonetheless the people that are anti-israel could never answer the question of what will you do with the8 million Jews if there was an Israel the 8 million Jews that are in AR is right now what are you going to do with them if let's say for example you decide okay you know what we agree with you we are going to give the land back to the Arabs okay okay now what what are you going to do with 8 million what do you think they're going to accept them in America what do you think they're going to accept them where in Venezuela in China what do you think going going to accept him so this is what that's what people need to think about you know who's who sees what's what's will be birth what will come out of something so it's not uh to just blindly hate yes we disagree with the government yes we disagree vehemently with Zionism all together because the founders were but nonetheless we agree with loving our brothers and sisters whether they're secular theab their breast their whoever they are unless they're enemies of hem our job is to help them do chv and pray for them so when these terrorists ishma are sending uh missiles to kill them and this time they actually killed a few this time hasem is giving us stronger signs usually these missiles they don't even reach nothing usually the missiles they they reach empty land you know they hit the desert they hit Arabs this time Jews died which means that is trying to give us clearer and clearer signs that it's time to do chva for all of those saying oh yeah maybe you should do Aliyah it's not Aliyah time to do chuva whether you do Aliyah or not is secondary because if you do Aliyah without chuva it's worthless if you do CH but you don't do Aliah you're still okay why Mas will just take you to but the key is to understand that chuva is the number one most important thing in a Jewish person's life so today we have a merit to learn t with without missiles being fired at us at least not physical ones but of course there's a lot of spiritual ones from the Satan that tries to interfere day and night I wish we worked as hard as the Satan he doesn't stop but uh the is one of the things that we really need to have at times like this because tell us that as we get closer and closer to mashia everything that we view as normal if you will is going to be thrown in the garbage all of the things we've gotten used to all of the things we've acclimated Our Lives to all of the things that we take for granted because we don't even think they're a big deal it's just supposed to be that some of those things little by little Hashem is going to make sure that you realize that uh M Messianic times Messiah comes a lot of those things are not going to be there some people are scared when you say oh mashia is going to come it's like wait do I have to uh buy a place in is I don't have money to buy place in America I'm gonna buy a place in is that's the least of your problems don't worry about buying land in you want to you want if you have extra money you want to go buy a house buy a building buy five buildings enjoy that's not what we're talking about anyone that wants to prepare for Mas has to prepare his has to buy spiritual real estate has to make sure that every single mitvah opportunity that he has he takes it for example on the way here there was at least three opportunities for a mitvah three opportunities for mitvah what is the mitvah so lightning so lightning why you have lightning you have to do you have that that the's power and King and kinghood fills the world fills the world it's an opportunity for Mitzvah he's oh okay nice Mitzvah no no you don't understand you do Mitzvah like this that's more reward for that one single Mitzvah not just because of that mitvah any mitvah that one mitvah you remember you remember the blessing for that one mitvah you fulfill that mitvah all of the money all of the pleasure all of the pleasantries all of the good that could ever be in this world from the beginning of the world all the way to the end of the world will not equal the reward that you will get for that one tiny little mitvah so if a person thinks about this what is he gonna do he's GNA start chasing I want to up to with I want to show up mashia hey nice Mash nice to meet you look at the what I have look at the what I have what's another opportunity get Jews to do CH get out to do CH why you're bringing A's children back home what could be better than that he's been waiting for them for 3,300 years you happen to be the guy or the lady that brought him back home hey look I gave him a dollar CD it didn't even cost me a dollar the gra gave it to me for free but anyway between me it's a dollar anyway AEM look he came home for go it I gave him a CD he went home I didn't even give him the CD I went I took the box I put it in the supermarket I talked to the supervisor supervisor says okay leave the box over here and this little Jew went to the supermarket pick up SE oh this looks interesting maybe it's a new game boy I don't know he doesn't know what it is he puts it in next thing you know he does CH why once you start listening to Tora you start listen to real Tor you have to do cha so how come so many people don't do Chu because Unfortunately today we have a lot of uh pretend T we have a lot of pretend Make Pretend but people listen to Tora they do CH so a person that understands this really understands it takes it into account is going to look for every single opportunity to do a Mitzvah to SCT spiritual real estate at times like this when you have missiles being shot at our brothers you need a lot of a lot of confidence that is also managing this it's easy to have when we don't have any missiles it's easy to have when you have money in a bank you know exactly how the rent is going to be paid you already have enough for five months rent it's easy to have it's easy to have that you have so much money that you already have extra account for Investments it's easy to have when you already have three four five kids in your life it's easy to have it's easy to have when is it tough when I thing is dark so the says that the Masia is not going to come until all the money in the world becomes worthless meaning all of those multi-million doll 401ks all of those billion doll hedge funds all of those small little Rinky Dink accounts that you started on E Trade all of the little Bitcoin accounts all of the big ones too the Bill Gates of the world the Warren Buffett of the world and the average Joe of the world all going to have the same exact balance right before mashia comes it's all going to be zero that's a nice reality check for for some people why cuz you're used to you go to the store you give him an ATM card you give him a credit card and he gives you stuff what are you going to give him when you don't have any money what you give a k what you Hey listen I have a nice K was really a convert what are you gonna tell him where you tell the guy I need some potatoes for my kids I need some tomatoes for my kid I need some bambba no what bambba B give me something that's worth something my bumba is worth more than your 401k account that's a reality check that's a reality check why because people that are spending so much time Gathering more and more money it's okay to make money it's wrong if you're not going to use it for you have money to go help but instead you go and buy Disneyland trips you go buy another car second third fourth car that you don't even need because you like the way it looks so you want to put it in your garage so so nobody could look at it including yourself this is a from why you have people that don't even know that is real or not and you're spending the extra money to get instead of getting to do chva you spend the extra money for what to go buy a third car the missiles the missiles are a sign there are sign that is saying to you just like we talked about last week he gave Amed signs for years the rabbis were screaming the rabbis were crying telling them listen look this has happened this happened this happened nobody was paying attention so we have to learn from those lessons is talking to us these terrorists are sending missiles and the government instead of literally just saying you know what guys why do we even bother war with you guys just press one button there's no more Arabs end the war that's it that's all it needs to be all it needs to be just press one button end up the end of the Arabs no Arab will ever attack Israel again what it's called an atomic bomb finished but they're not going to do it why because they're scared of everybody else the Americans and the Chinese and the Russians and everybody else except so where do they go bomb they go bomb the empty buildings oh there's nobody here oh good we could bom it we could pretend on TV as if we're doing something you're just doing are you giving the the the Arabs more jobs because that's what they do they build buildings they don't have any actual skill set in their life they're too busy killing people so even the leaders that we expect to help us what are they doing nothing if a Israeli soldier kills an Arab goes gets arrested yeah but he just killed people he just killed people yeah he's allowed to kill people his government and the Israeli everybody's going to give him money because he killed a Jew but if a Jew killed an Arab terrorist no he goes to jail you see this doesn't even make any sense it's Insanity to even say this but this is the truth that's what happens they're Israeli soldiers in jail why cuz they they killed Arab terrorists which is exactly what the says at the end of times page 49b at the end of times the leaders are going to give you what instructions that are against their own people things that are against their own interest yeah you put me in power but I'm going to do things against you against logic against the things that are supposed to be so times like this where there's so much confusion nothing makes any sense person is forced to go back to the Torah and say okay you know what the only thing that's always made sense always made sense at some point is the Torah so I have to figure out how do I stick to this Torah during these confusing times when nothing else makes any sense how do I how do I not lose my mind when there's missiles when there's anti-Semitism right now anti-Semitism is over 50% in America if nobody think that's a big deal that means there's over 200 million people that are more than happy to kill all of us and that's the ones that admit it it was 44% five years ago so we're talking about a serious serious change in the climate that we live in we need we need confidence in that it's all going to be okay how if we stick to him if we clink to him now many people are discovering a for the first first time now last few years they're discovering and they go to sh they go toid they go to different places and they don't really know what to do those are the best people why because they're like a brand new baby how do I know this how do I know the brand new baby is the best who remembers what are the images on top of the areses held Ten Commandments both sets of Commandments theph Tora that M wrote the staff the greatest things we've ever had the man a sample of the man had all this what are the images on top of it two little babies two little babies why two little babies is trying to teach us I want you to be like a little baby all the time a little baby wants to learn all the time a little baby's always excited to see me you're never going to see a little baby not excited to see you little baby's always excited to see you he's always excited to learn he comes to the world grabbing he's he's holding his hands like this why like this he wants to grab everything every every every CD every that's a little baby has to be like little babies so when a person comes to sh and he or she sees that everybody's fast you know they start before she starts the prayer they already finished before uh he uh he starts figuring out where they are in is already they're like uh doing kadish he doesn't know what's going on so one of my t in uh Montreal send me a message send me a message wonderful message reminding me this excuse me and she says what do I do when I go to school and um I pray and they pray but the problem is I'm new so they finish really fast they finish the prayer really fast by the time they finish I'm not even halfway through so what do I do do I just stop do I just stop the prayer and uh just so I could do it along with the rest of the so the answer is is that most likely and by most likely I don't mean like 51% most likely like 99% it's a fluke if it's like that 1% 99% that a prefers her prayer or his prayer than the rest of the Kil put together including the rabbi why because her prayer is the prayer of a baby his prayer this new Bal chua's prayer is the prayer of a baby he doesn't know what to do all he knows is that he wants to talk to he doesn't know what it means means who what when how he doesn't know all he knows like I have an opportunity to talk to hem and they told me to read these words here he says okay I guess you know what this means and he's talking to Hashem he doesn't know what's going on but all he knows I'm trying to what to connect to Hashem I'm trying to connect to Hashem in whatever way they told me how to do it and I'm going to repeat this and they finished already but I'm not finished I still have a halfway to go hasem says I want your prayer not theirs why they're not babies in anymore they forgot they got used to me they got so used to me they forgot it's me they can't wait they speed up the Press so much they forgot them in the room why because they want to finish the Press they could talk about baseball again so they go back to work so they go back to all the other things instead of being excited to see speak to him one onone they can't wait toit they can't wait they can't uh hurry up enough why they want to go do something else you my friend you my son you my daughter you're still excited to see me I want your prayer so please if your prayer takes time good take as much time as you want only thing you should do when you go to Min is try to start at the same time as the Manan as far as finish don't worry about when they finish let them finish the whole prayer for you care doesn't make a difference do hav finished and you're still doesn't make a difference you finish at your own pace what it's your opportunity to talk to you finish little by little also the words will be a little more SE seamless to you more fluid to you you will'll speed up and make it more you'll become more used to it but nonetheless never forget that purity of a BAL Chu's prayer the purity of a BAL chua's prayer the purity of a child's prayer the first time a kid prays this is the type of stuff that say will bring the mashia this is the type of stuff that bring mashia why it's a prayer with kavana now why did I say 99% not 100% because has a lot of has a lot of and spread them in different shoes there's one here there's one there there's one here hopefully every Sho has at least one sadik that really has kavana so his prayer is also fantastic he's not looking forward to finishing the prayer he takes his time he takes his time he talks to Hashem has kavana he thinks about the name of a every time he says it he doesn't say like Steve and Joe and Mikey he thinks wow I just said hashem's name that's four letters he thinks about the letters he thinks about the he can't wait to say aem's Name by the same token he's scared why if he says hashem's name improperly if he says aem's name in the wrong place it's a problem it's a s from a t so once in a while you have like this you have a few sometimes but the new the just like them why because they're excited to talk to so when you pray take your time don't hurry up talk to Hashem it's not a race the two main parts of those two things you should try to start at the same time as the K but as far as finish take your time the rest of the prayer before and after is also important but it's not as critical as those are the two main things meaning if you miss let's say you arrive late for whatever reason or another some emergency you miss a big part of the prayer as long as you didn't miss you could start wherever they are but if you already miss then you have to start try to find a different or something like that that that's starting a little later why because you have to start at least with but nonetheless the point is to have the prayer with kav that's the key don't just go pray for the sake of fulfilling some type of obligation so you can go to work remember the prayer is not for hem the prayer is for you there's a decree in shim that has your name on it could be a good decree could be a bad decree whatever it is now Hashem doesn't change his mind he's not like us to change our mind every Tuesday you know so hasm doesn't change his mind so how could we change the decree if it's a bad one how can we change it so Shalom says very very simple very simple explanation he says if you pray with kavana it's going to change you if you pray with real kavana with real meaning that prayer will change you if it changes you then guess what that decree doesn't change it just belongs to somebody else not you you've become something else that's why says to hm hem they're lying about me who's lying about you the are lying about you thees yeah no they're saying I'm still the same person that has those decrees no I prayed I did chuva I'm somebody else I'm somebody else they're right about the decrees they're right but that's somebody else that's not me I did CH already so hashm doesn't change his mind but you can change the decree why decree goes to somebody else to Old you not the new you that's the point of prayer so if you pray with kavana it's going to help your great deal it's going to help you a great deal yeah you had a question not if you're in the middle of the amida not if you're in the middle of amida the only time that you uh you interrupt your amid is if you're in the last two prayers of it the last two blessings of it but if you're let's say for example at mod or something like that you don't stop for Kusa Shalom yeah and once you Sim Shalom then you could stop for for the Kusa but other than that no if you're like in the middle or somewhere else you don't stop forus but also also another thing I want to remind all of you that are going to sh please you know does so many good things for us so many beautiful things for us the fact that we have air in our lungs is already too much bit you think about it why does he have to give us air for what he gives us so much at the very least don't disrespect him now in AET we have a merit where they say kadish say kadish when you say kadish what's kadish it's all different types of adjectives all types of descriptions honoring AEM Hashem you're the best hm you're the greatest Hashem you're the all types of wonderful things we say about hem wonderful wonderful things meaning thank you for this thank you for this thank you thank you thank you thank you no end which is right you should do it a million times a day now because we say so many thank yous we say look how great we are we say thank you this greatness of thank yous AEM should go to the Merit of this person that died she go to the Merit of this Manan she go to the Merit of everybody that's here that's doing it that's good it's a good deal hasm says you know what you say so much thank you I like when people say thank you people say appreciative it's the best type of people people that are unappreciative worse kind of people says why you say thank you to all the things whatever you want granted it was worth it for me to create the world just for you to say all these wonderful thank yous but guess what if there's a in thean that while everybody else is saying thank you he decides to have a conversation Hey so uh what do you think of the lamps over here in the Sho you think we should get a different ones what do you think of the stock market dropped 400 points a few days ago what do you think of his shirt it's too white no I don't think it's kidish enough what do you think of him what do you think of her what do you think somebody says something like that the king is here he's watching everybody say thank you and Sam moreon is talking ruin the whole thing the says his sin is too big too big to quantify why why is it too big to quantify somebody that speaks in sh needless to say in the middle of kades why because everybody's prayer gets rejected now the whole K this guy's sick he wants this guy's poor he wants this guy's lonely he wants a wife this guy's kid is sick this guy's kid all the problems that everybody has everybody's crying to please please thank you for everything give me but also I need help with this please please please please says oh my son my daughter oh I can't wait and then some more on the sdes to talk and Sh says says I can't I can't why I can't be in a in a Sho where people are talking in the middle of honoring me why that means that everybody's a joker yeah but only him then you should take care of him what does Al say Al say you have to rebuke him on the spot and if he doesn't stop you have to embarrass him in public R says you have to embarrass him in public the r says even though in other places the Tora says embarrassing somebody in public you could lose ra says no no this is only person that's part of your nation a person that talks in you embarrass him in public meaning he's removing himself from the nation for that moment through his own foolishness why everybody else's prayers cannot be answers because of him so to summarize all of it and to finalize all of it is that for all of the new for all of the people that are even if you've been from from birth but you've recently gotten to re-energize your connection with remember a prayer without kavana is like a body without a you have to have prayer you have to have kavana with this prayer if that takes you longer which naturally it should let it take you longer let it take you longer if let's say for example you're in a hurry to go to work for whatever the case may be you have to do stuff then get to sh a little earlier get a little earlier you know and then try to finish a little earlier all you have to do is just be there for kadish and you'll be fine the point is is that use the prayer as part of your chu use the prayer as part of your connection to because you're going to need this prayer in order to implement this this has multiple ways of implementing it that we're learning about part of that way of connecting to hem is by seeing that the prayers that we're praying for actually get answered because to have blindly is good but the real maturity of the real you know seeing come to life is when you start seeing some of the things that you had confidence in even though you had no reason to other than Hashem you had confidence that hhm is going to do it you see them actually happen I have confidence that is GNA give me P how do I know I have no idea right now I have less than $1,000 in the account but I need 3,500 and less than 10 days but I know for sure it's going to get get there for sure and you pray and you pray and you pray and you pray and you pray because you know it's going to happen you don't know why you don't have like some hidden check or some client that's you know you know he going to pay you on the 15th no that's not that's uh accounting that's QuickBooks that's uh pay receivables no no I'm talking about you have no idea how the money is going to show up in 10 days no idea you have no idea how you going to is going to come why all you do all day is you learn you learn you learn you're not going to clubs and pubs and you're doing all day you have no idea how who is going to show up you have no idea how the Salvation the personal salvation going arrive and you pray and you pray and you pray and you pray a I believe I believe I know not only I believe I know it's going to happen when is your problem that's not my problem my problem is just doing what I need to do and then when it happens when that prayer is finally answered you m feel like a little miniu why talk to me I've been talking to him for months he finally answered how he gave me what I wanted and not only gave me what I wanted he gave me what I wanted times 10 I only wanted one he gave me 10 AEM too much but thank you I'll take it though that is the culmination of which means that prayer is NE necessary tool meaning that if you abandon prayer you mistreat prayer you don't use prayer it is very very hard to ever go and actually learn about why because that's a tool you need it's like saying yeah I want to build a house but without a hammer what are you going to use for the nails I'm not exactly a builder but I know that you're gonna probably need a hammer at some point what are you going to do prayer is the hammer Soom put together a instruction set of how to build your by simply telling you first and foremost it is not really a suggestion like nothing else in it's really a commandment to have why because if you don't have and you get punished some things in the Tor are suggestions the suggestions if you don't do it I mean you're going to have a very difficult life but you don't get punished for it there are certain things that are sub minimal suggestions you should do this you should do this but you don't get punished if you don't do it but the vast majority of the Torah is not suggestions it's Commandments meaning if you do it good you get rewarded to no end you don't do it him you have punishments waiting for you in this world and the next so the BET starts off right away right off the start like a real he says by the way it's not a suggestion because if you do not have you are bringing punishment to your life and that's why he says if you're afraid of something when you don't have to be the fear can cause the thing that you're afraid of to happen because runs the world measure for measure measure for measure he says oh you were afraid that such and such is going to happen that means you did not have confidence in me because you didn't have confidence in me I have to have have to punish you for it why if you don't have confidence who you G have confidence in what the tree the bank account JC Penny what are you gonna have a who are you G have conf if it's not a Who you gonna have confidence in if you have confidence in anything else other than Hashem big mistake very big mistake so says I have to punish you how do I punish you and make sure that you know that it's actually me talking to you because punishment is not just for the sake of torturing people it's also a way of hem communicating to us to fix our way he's giving us a parking ticket not because he wants to take the car away he wants to tell us don't park here anymore the punishments that are real serious punishments that are almost in essence like a Revenge that's called kafak G places like that it's not in this world this world punishment is in essence to redirect our path go in a different direction says how do I make sure that you know that it's me talking to you I'm going to punish you with exactly what was the problem you had fear of something happening which means you lacked confidence in me I'm going to make that thing happen that you were afraid of so you know it's measure for measure you afraid of it's going to happen I'm going to make it actually happen why because the only reason you were afraid that it's going to happen is because you don't have a connection with me so here right off the bat the BET teaches us please all those anxiety attacks that you have work on it work on it immediately do not read the papers do not waste your time on the news if you want to know what's happening in the world read the tah it's all happening again just different names different characters people live people die righteous Wicked and so on and so forth don't waste your time on the on the mundane unless you need it for your job or something like that but in essence don't waste your time don't waste your times on things like why because all of that stuff is go is are tools of the Satan in order to number one steal your time and two create anxiety give you worries what's the most common 95% of news if not 99% of news if you watch the news I haven't B watched news in years what is 99% of all news bad news breaking news somebody died breaking news somebody else died just in a different way breaking news car accident nobody died but they're kind of dying breaking news breaking news breaking news Market crashed this one robbed this one this one stole from that one this one did rape that one this one stole from that it's constant bad news why because Satan knows bad news it's going to stress you out you could relate to bad news but if you say breaking news Joe Smith from Harlem just won the lotto N I don't really care about Joe Smith or the lotto if I won the lotto then it's breaking news but he won the lotto what do I care change channel change your channel why it's not stressing me out enough it's stressing me out anyway in the lot but if you tell me Joe Smith won the lot then declared bankruptcy oh that's breaking news oh Joe Smith commits suicide fight minutes before his lot ticket wins Ah that's breaking news good news for me why that's what people are people are crazy people want bad news why because Satan programmed them to want bad news why bad news creates anxiety anxiety distances you away from Hashem the next thing he says is fear of man comes from Forgetting Hashem it's a compliment to say that 99% of our fear is from people and 1% is from Hashem CU in reality it's almost 100% for 100% of the people that the only thing that they are scared of is people and not AEM they're scared of what are people going to think of their new beard when they know that they're clean shaven for all these years and now he's a b Chu she has a beard what are people going to think she's scared of what are people going to think when I start wearing this uh this K on my head and it's not a wig what are people going to say maybe they're going to make fun of me May they're going to call me uh you know I don't know uh Isis one woman tells me yeah I went to she was a teacher in a school and she started wearing a real took off the wig put on a real she said some of the fellow teachers said what are you Isis Jewish school Jewish school Jewish school they call her Isis they're the real Isis for saying such stupid things she would still the test she's fine but you would never believe how the Satan comes to you he comes to you to your friends he comes to you to your family he comes to you to the people that are closest to you that's why I always tell people word to the wise if you're about to do something big spiritually don't tell anyone unless they have to know meaning they're part of it like if you get married you have to tell the woman you're about to marry not like surprise honey we're married no they can't do that can't do that huh you have to let her know get married you have to let them know but if you're going to do something spiritually that's big don't tell anybody if you're learning if you're one of my students that's learning you're learning and you're about to finish a don't tell anybody when you're five 10 pages away keep your mouth shut until last page why you tell people last five 10 pages what you're never going to finish you're never going to finish Satan is going to come to you in every way shape or form well you learn go to go to shabbat go to this one go to that one go to g go to don't do just don't finish why once you finish it becomes part of don't tell anybody also tell people converting converting is not an easy thing once I give you a date this the date you're going to convert guess what the news is only for you nobody else nobody else don't tell anybody not your best friend not your worst friend not even the local Rabbi unless he has to know when do you tell him when you're back with a certificate in your hand that's when you tell them you tell them before you may not make it to the conversion I'm not telling you this to scare you I'm telling you this to scare you I'm telling you this scary why because it's truth I've seen it so many times how somebody publicizes a spiritual thing they publicize it like oh good news I'm about to do Aliah what happens all of a sudden their long lost friend from the middle of nowhere appears you're doing Aliah didn't you just hear the 600 missiles didn't you just hear that the government is this didn't you just just hear that there's this didn't you just hear that there's that they put the fear of every single thing that you've never even considered back on your table now you're like honey are you really sure about this Aliah what do you mean honey we sold the house we sold it this we we almost sold the kids too just to make Aliah now you're telling me you're not sure about Aliyah the stuff's already on the boat yeah but my friend she's a really smart person you know she has a PHD and everything and she told me about the this and the that and the this and that and guess what at at the best case scenario you're crying the whole way there the best case scenario why cuz you told somebody that put the fear of everything in the world and you're anxious the whole time maybe your friend's going to be right don't tell anybody I'm telling you don't tell anybody in general it's best to keep your private life private people that publicize stuff about their private life on the internet number one are usually the most miserable people in the world they're just trying to give the the world World a fake illusion of what their life really is like which is completely the opposite they show you themselves in like some action park ah and they're hugging their wife in reality the wife just gave him divorce papers it's our last like this but really she is the last picture so okay enjoy this one buddy it's fake it's fake fake or they're bringing on them life on their life they're bringing on their life don't publicize your life don't tell anybody you're any anything else be private be private with your life why cuz if you publicize it the best case scenario bring in because you really have a good thing that's the best case scenario worst case scenario you're going to bring a lot of damage to your life now once you do not share your private life with the world that means you're not going to have the world contribute their opinion to your life so much so it's going to be make your life a lot easier as far as if you need to change if you need to change location change look become more modest become more holy it's going to be much easier why because the world does not influence you as much you're not publicizing every little move uh you know every second so you don't have as many opinions targeting you every two seconds so here the BET says if you're afraid of people that because you're forgetting hasem but what is he also telling you if you're afraid of people that's only because you've publicized your life to people why what benefit do you get what do you think you're going to become the next Oprah Winfrey that you're going to publicize your life and says wow he has a really interesting life let's give him a show let's give him a show give him a billion dollars what do you think is going to happen nothing why there's three billion other people that are crazy enough to publicize their life next he says every person experiences times when his efforts not only don't help but they cause him harm in this way aad teaches us that all success comes only from hasem sometimes a person is a very soft you give him something he does chuva you tell I I spoke to this young kid I went to visit him in the hospital a couple of weeks ago and he had an accident almost died now I met this kid two seconds you see this kid could be something special if he applies himself could a special in two seconds I'm seeing he he got the message I don't have to give him a g lesson all I tell him listen you realize who did he said I realize you realize there's a de there's a there's every you realize okay he say TD learn we talked I was there for a while but in essence we talked for maybe two minutes three minutes he got the message today I got some good news about him that he says that now after this accident he has a new mission in life what to go help the rest of his friends do Chua kid got the message now he didn't come to sh number 84 GF worms coming out of the body worms coming he didn't go to that he never even saw the he may never see the sh why he has a special that if he applies it he can be sadik be sadik un fortunately rare most people are not tell you the truth I dealt with thousands of people most people are more like a rock and the g writes to his wife he writes to his wife if our children our own children our rocks hit them why the only way to get the water out of the rock is by breaking it sometimes you have to scare people to death in order to get them to realize I have to change my ways it's better I scare you than who scares you so sometimes you don't get the message from the rabbi and Hashem says you're not quite at the stage where I want to hit you but I also can't do nothing so what do I do you know all that stuff that you're trying to achieve I'm going to make it all fail you know that stuff that you're trying to buy I'm going to make you not be able to afford it you know the Z that you're looking for you're going to find a z that's she's GNA leave you then he's going to leave you I'm G to make your life really really difficult where you're going to do all the right things and they're all not going to work daa why because I want to show you that the salvation can only come from Hashem it's not coming from your efforts it's not coming because of your good looks it's not coming because of your brain it's not coming because of your bank account it's not coming because of any other reason other than and the r writes the ran raanes writes anyone does not believe that every single aspect of life every move every blink everything is a miracle if you don't believe that everything is a miracle you have no share of to is meaning you lighting matches and there's actually Fire coming out of these sticks Miracle you taking one step and actually being able to stop Miracle blinking blinking Miracle Water cleaning your eyes automatically Miracle your heart pumps but there's nothing connecting to it there's no battery your heart is pumping by itself automatic even when you go to sleep it doesn't go to sleep for 120 years Miracle everything is a miracle everything is a miracle says I want you to realize everything is a miracle nothing is natural and that's why sometimes when I don't want to hit you really hard but at the same token you didn't listen to the rabbi I have to do something so what I make your life Difficult by making all the things that you're trying to do fail why because I want you to cry to me I want to see you cry to me not to uh to your boss please give me the job back not to the customer please come back sir I really need a business not to your ex-girlfriend please I don't want to be lonely No Cry to says I want you to cry to me and admit salvation is only for me that's what wants next he says trusting in anyone or anything other than Hashem will not help it actually brings a curse to life Jeremiah says a person that trusts in people brings a curse to his life not only in the next world where he arrives in a place where everyone knows that a who is real no one has question in the next world no one has any saf so imagine you arrive you arrive there's a there's countless over there nobody has any questions nobody has any questions everybody's there screaming is you oh there that guy that had questions so wait so you didn't believe in hem you didn't believe in hem little guy you didn't believe look at look at hem you what are you gonna do over there you know what the embarrassment you're going to have when you arrive in sh and you're the guy that didn't believe in hem you're the guy that wasn't sure that hem is real not real if he's going to help you not help you say oh you're the guy that had a lot of question now's going to answer you he's gonna give you a private lesson you know what kind of embarrassment that is so Jeremiah says that's a curse you're bringing a curse to yourself by not having why you're gonna go up to sh you're gonna be the only guy the only guy the only girl didn't have why because anyone that's in a good place has but also this life a person that does not have lives a very very difficult life why because everything that they do depends on them at least theoretically and the reality is most of us are ambitious much more than our capabilities we want to do things that really sometimes we have no right doing think about it you came into the world with nothing but you want to leave the world with hundreds of grandkids which means you requires you to have a wife and kids and a family and so on who's to say you're going to succeed right now statistics are against you statistics are against you in the western society says that 80% of people get divorced within the first few years which means that you won't even have enough time to have kids if you have time to have kids maybe one maybe and if you're doing it without being married then most likely the kids are probably not going to be so connected to you why because hey if you're a la you're the father that's over there she's the mother that's over there the kids are probably going to be somewhere in the middle confused by the time they're 20 doing the same thing you did you ruined the kid's life before he started so the reality is that without a a lot of the Ambitions for even simple things are bigger than what we can or you want to build a company who's to say that you're going to succeed who's to say you're going to succeed there's eight billion people in the world every one of them is trying to bite to fight for the same dollar who's to say that you're the guy that's going to make that dollar why why is your invention going to work why is your deal going to work why meaning that a lot of the things that we want to do are bigger than us so when a person does not have that means that he's depending on his own Talent he's depending on his own skill and as a person that had a little bit of talent a little bit of skill at some point in my life I can tell you the worst reality check you can get in a secular life is when you're at your best you're at your best you're the most talented you could ever possibly be you're the best of the best and it's still not good enough you are the Michael Jordan let's say and you still lose you're the best but you're still second place you're still third place you still don't make it to the race why just because when your talent is insufficient you didn't get the deal it didn't work out the biggest disasters in history were not made by losers they were made by people that won many many races in a row the Geniuses of the world the success stories of the world they're the ones that made the that had the biggest explosions the biggest disasters why if they were losers their whole life guess what no one would ever give them that really important position that really important task the guys that ran the financial sector the Bear Sterns the Leman Brothers these guys were geniuses they weren't just smooth talkers they were Geniuses but guess what they made a mistake and they failed and billions of dollars were lost countless jobs were lost and a whole world went upside down for for a period of time people are still suffering from part of it till this day actually the point being is that it's not fools that made the mistakes it's Geniuses that did and that's the reality check that hurts the most when all the genius is not good enough why because it depended on you when you have you have a different reality than the rest of the people around you why you know that nothing is due to you even the thought that you had in your head is only because hasem put it in there the money you have in your pocket is because hm allowed it to go in the wife you had as a gift from Hashem the husband you have gift from hem the children you have gift from everything is a gift from hem already that lowers that ego to a more normal level why you have nothing to be proud of the only thing you can be proud of is that you have a connection to hm other than that you have nothing to be proud of why it's not your intellect that figured out the new algorithm it's not your intellect that figured out the new system the new machine the new invention or your speaking ability that got the new customer it's not you it's a allowing this to succeed once you have that your life is blessed if you don't have it your life is cursed why you're living a false reality you're living a false reality imagine you're living a life a life a life a life one day you realize the whole thing is just a game show I think they had a movie about that one time so next the BET says that a person who trusts in hem gains in both worlds which is really in essence what we just said a person that trusts in a lives a different sense of reality than the people around him why because he knows that whatever is happening is AEM whatever is happening inm this type of reality has no end to how great it can be how enormous it can be at a time of difficulty one of the I forget the name what theik put together a seph seph KES and I didn't learn much about it I learned with a little bit and uh when was 14 years old he picked up the seph this book he's 14 years old he's bet mid picks up the seph introduced to this all of a sudden an old man comes to the BET mid and he sees when he's not he's just little FR 14year old FR looking at the seil he says you reading that book yeah you know who that is yeah it says here it's a rabbi you don't know who that is you don't know who that is and he starts seeing the old man start to cry you don't know who that is you don't know who that let me tell you who that is let me tell you why I know him oh you know him yeah I was in the Holocaust with him I was in the Holocaust with him and when the evil Nazis were hitting him and beating him he says it's not you Mr Nazi you're nothing you're nobody is allowing you to hit me you're not hurting me is doing it you're not doing nothing to me it doesn't even pain me why it's all a everything is a everything is AEM they're hitting him and they're hitting him all watching they're trying to kill the guy and he's saying it's not you it's AEM is going to destroy you I'm not even it doesn't hurt me what you're doing and they're hitting him again it doesn't hurt me is here he said it for every single hit until his came out of his body he says I saw this with my own eyes that's who wrote that book when you have people like this in your nation doesn't that make you feel proud that somebody like this walked among us that even the Nazis could not hurt yeah you can feel sad he died I don't feel sad he died why isn't G right now I feel sad I'm not him that's why I feel sad I feel sad that I'm not even a shoe that's why I feel sad he's an I feel sad that I know that if somebody hit me I'm probably not going to say it's I'm not going to say the same thing why because I'm not him but that's what we're trying to asite to you see has no limits no limits if you have a real connection to the physical world cannot touch you nothing can touch you why because you know with a 100% knowledge as I know that all of you are in front of me and you know that I'm in front of you that kind of knowledge that runs the world that kind of knowledge makes everything oh this is here because hem said it this is here because hasm said it that's here because hasm said it all of this stuff is because hasm said it who am I to complain it's hm's world I'm just in it I'm just in it I'm just a little thing and I'm trying to do what Hashem wants in his world immediately most of the problems and the anxiety and the difficulties that you have change status from being your problems to being what Hashem wants why does he want it that's what I have to to figure out why does he want this difficulty to happen why does he want this difficulty to be in my life specifically that's what I have to figure out but as far as this difficulty must be from hem it cannot be from anybody else now the BET continues and he says Hashem directly provides our needs but decrees that we must work only to keep us out of trouble the very well-known question that people have and have asked me many many times is if somebody has so much so much confidence and in why should they work why should they go to work should they just stay home learn T all day now if you look at the is a debate it's a debate between and shim about that exact question says says to yesu that you study T the whole day all the time 24 hours a day make sure to study it in the morning make sure to study it at night but Rish Shimon says no no he's not saying just the morning the night you have to study it all the time non-stop every waking hour don't have so much Tor you don't have time to work I going to pay the bills hashem's going to pay the bills says no no no no he just means study in the morning study at night then in the middle work why not everybody could uh withstand just learning to all day not everybody has the ability even to sit down and learn in reality we're all humans we all have the more or less the same ability yes some people are a little maybe more athletic less athletic some people are ambidextrous some people are a little smarter than others but for the most part everybody could sit in front of the table and if you don't want to sit stand the whole day it's actually better for you until the door the generation ofel that's how they study T all the way to ra you only allowed to study to standing up once Rael died that's it from that point on it was yes why Yesa why is it called Isa Isa means they sit why because we didn't have the strength to be like and everybody before him and study to standing up all the time but if you really want to study study to standing I don't recommend you start off that way because it'll be very difficult but in general if you're studying at night you're tired it's good to stand up anyway the people have for the most part the ability to study but some people you see them you put a book in front of them about Harry Potter they could five hours they finish the book you put Sports Illustrated magazine two hours they finish the magazine you put some Stark uh Wall Street Journal in front of them couple of hours they finish the paper you put a GMA in front of them 37 seconds sleeping why why is boring no it's not boring why why they fall asleep 37 seconds instead of learning the whole thing because you see with the Wall Street Journal the Sports Illustrated the ESPN magazines Satan helps you Satan helps you by making sure that you're not tired because one of the jobs that he has in the world is to make you tired so you make sure that for that stuff you're never tired to play on the internet never tired Game Boy BL PlayStation uh middle of the night four o'clock in the morning never tired go to Club never tired go to scho learn oh man I'm so tired my back hurts my leg hurts it used to hurt and maybe it's going to hurt again all of a sudden you can't do anything all of a sudden you become paraplegic why Satan says oh you're tired you're tired man you're so tired you're so tired why because you weren't tired for the club you weren't tired for all the uh for the pub you weren't tired for the Game Boy you weren't tired for the play you weren't tired for all the other stuff now I'm going to bring all that tiredness to your life all at once all of a sudden you have no energy meaning that when you learn you learn Tor you have to fight because Satan is fighting you because you learning Tor is d destroying him so he's not going to help you stay up he's going to do the opposite make you tired aside from that the people that are learning tah are learn and dedicating their time to learning tah in the beginning it's difficult because you don't understand half the stuff that's happening you don't really know why they care about this argument you're not really sure how this you know applies to your life so it's not as sweet it's not as sweet as it is after you've done it already for several years especially if you're learning by yourself if you're learning from a Shure and it's a good speaker then usually the sh is fine or you just press stop go somewhere else but if it's a book takes a little bit of time a little bit of effort for it to become sweet sometimes even a few months or few years depends so says not everybody has the ability to just sit there and learn every day they had they have they could learn for an hour or two but then they have to go back to work but then say it's not just about their ability it's also about having the to do it meaning having the that you're gonna go learn T all day and somehow is gonna send the money to pay the bills without you working on Wall Street Without You lifting buildings without you are working at some restaurant no no he's going to send the money in another way how not your business your business is to go learn toah not everybody can do that and those that can praiseworthy so that's the debate andish Shimon says yes not everybody succeeds not everybody succeeds that to learn and succeed why because they learn and even if they try learning they constantly anxious about where's the money where's the money where's the money if the whole time you're learning you're thinking about where's the money where's the money where's the money then what kind of learning are you really doing so not everybody can do it but nonetheless a person needs to learn day and night if you could learn more learn more if you could learn less and work that's fine also but the question Still Remains why does hem if Hashem really wants us to pH to learn why does he not just give us M like he did for in the desert for 40 years why you just send it to us in our house because if every single B cha all of a sudden started getting M automatically then guess what our entire free choice will be removed if every single person that came to the sh all of a sudden starting tomorrow you arrive to your house there's a little you know package shows up at your house with everything you need everything you need arrives at your house you don't even know who's the delivery there's no sticker on it you just know God love you like you have no idea all the food all the lunch everything is good there okay next day you're like all honey I'm going to go back to work and then soon as you open the door to go to work at six o'clock in the morning guess what it's another box and it has everything else that you need before you know it you're not even going to go to the door you say honey can you just get the box you get the box why I don't have to go to work the box is over there the man is over there if that happened there would be no free choice every be but that's not the point of the world the point of the world is to understand that wants you to work he wants you to do something but that work has to also be a way that you connect to him that work also has to be a way that you connect to him first and foremost if you're going to be one of the people that learns then you have to know that you better be learning all day don't think that you're learning two three four hours a day it's sufficient to justify not working because there's 24 hours a day you can't like play with your garden for 20 hours and then learn for four hours and think that hm is going to be happy with that no meaning at the very least if you are going to work nine hours then you have to study nine hours you have to study and work the same technically you're supposed to study and work just as much as you you study nine hours you learn you uh you uh work nine hours and you do the rest of what you need to do for for the rest of the time another six hours you have an appointing of time to eat sleep and do whatever else or whatever eight hours whatever it is that you guys need point is that a person needs to know that you have to do all those things for different reasons and that's what the BET goes into he says in truth a person should not have to make any efforts to provide for himself all his needs should come to him without any toil as was the situation of and and GED before the sin the Angels would roast meat and prepare wine for him says that originally the Angels they saw they actually thought he was God in human form and that's part of the reason of why Hashem put him to sleep and to take out the bone out of him why part of the reason was because he wanted to bring but the other part is because he wanted to show the malim it's not God it's not why God doesn't sleep God doesn't sleep soon as you went to sleep oh angel said oh he's not God why they were about to say k why he was the perfect human being all of the that are in the world today we're part of him this also answers the question for people that ask why do we still have to pay that part of the suffering of the world whether it's labor or that you have to toil for money or it's a women's labor as far as carrying babies and raising kids that's technically still all part of the original sin punishment for the original sin why because since the original of was all of the was all of them that means that all of us were part of that original sin you might have been in the toe he was next to in a finger he was in the uh you know let's say the right side the other one was the left every one of the was spread around very very few according to cabala and we're not going to go deep into this but very few did not sin they were in but they didn't sin they were part of the body that was the head that didn't sin so part of didn't sin but none the rest of us are part of that original sin and therefore we still have to pay for it we still have to rectify for that original sin so thear says that originally the Angels were bringing him all of his panasa bringing him all of his a uh food making barbecue for him and that's how he had it but once he sinned he had to go fetch food for himself only afterwards it was decreed by the sweat of his brow he will eat bread as it says in a PUK he was punished in having to work for his needs in addition after the sin of eating from the Tree of knowledge he was punished with the desire to do evil had the situation remained as before with angels preparing his needs he would have had too much free time in which to do wrong as it says in Mish 55 Idol time brings to immorality therefore was decreed that he should have to toil it is good if one studies T and also works the toil of both of them leaves little time for thought of sin so here we see that first and foremost the work that we do in the world is part of the plan but aside from that we see that it was if even part of the punishment wasn't really a punishment now the writes that why didar why didar actually eat from the Tree of knowledge why I mean technically every one of us no exceptions if you hear God speaking to you he says don't eat from the tree is anyone here St stupid enough to eat from the tree no right I mean this is our generation 5,000 years later nobody here is going to eat from the tree if hasem says voice comes Shem comes guys don't sit in that chair everybody what what everybody runs from that chair not only you don't sit on that chair you run to the other side of the room why God said it if you actually hear God say something you're not going to do it why do we do it because we are not really sure if he said it he didn't say it we're not really sure what he said so we have a lot of doubt until we learn then we do Chu but if you actually heard God's voice say don't do such and such if you're a normal person of course you're not going to do it now was the perfect human being is the only one that himself created with his own hands everybody else came as like second hand from a woman thank God for our mothers but made them took the clay took the Dig put the finished M's hands nothing could be as perfect they say that the beauty the beauty of ad is something that's not possible for us to understand so they give us examples of how beautiful he was so for example Ona every time we do have the you look at your nails with the ish you have the you have the fire fire and you have to look at your nails against the fire to see the reflection of the fire on your nails now unless you're a construction worker and your nails are black usually have nails that you can see something type of reflection on or if you work on Wall Street probably have a manicure and pedicure so you see a real reflection maybe you have to put glasses on but anyway yeah you see a reflection on the nails right why we see why the reflection why the reflection so the M says fantastic he says was so beautiful his whole body his whole body was like diamonds the whole body was so shiny it was like the most sparkly beautiful diamonds his whole skin was like diamonds and the only thing that we have that somewhat could possibly maybe one day in the best conditions possible resemble a reflection of something is fire reflecting against are goodlooking nails not the constructure worker Nails not the guy that works in a sewer the one that works probably on Wall Street that does manicure pedicure he says his whole skin was like this such a beautiful person another says the beauty of ad was so extraordinary that his heel not heel his uh the bone the bone of the uh of of the uh leg of the of the foot I don't know what this bone is called the ailles heel but the the Achilles I guess right around there that bone that you have there on the side it says if you put that bone next to the sun sun you go look at the sun tomorrow two and a half seconds you start crying like a little baby why CU you can't look at the sun he says the heal the theill the little bone over there of makes the Sun seem dim like there's nothing there's barely any light that's how beautiful he was I mean things like this it's hard for us to imagine even if you have a vivid imagination so the when he's speaking to hem face to face he's speaking to Hashem in such hem is talking just created you why it's not like uh there's no secret he's talking to Hashem I mean it's hard for us to to even understand such a thing so to say that such a person that lived Among Us lived in the world that hasem created a whole geden just for him the whole world just for him everything just for him he's just going to make a mistake he's going to eat the apple because he has a desire can anybody anybody really think this anybody really think this is the real story maybe the Christians think that's a story because they still for some reason think it's an Apple so the writes Something Beautiful he says he was created by the ultimate good is the ultimate good and as I explained to you in previous sh good is not what you get good is what you give the way you become good is by doing good for others not just by receiving good by receiving good that just means that you're a lucky guy by giving good makes you good doing good for others so the ultimate good a created could not live with himself without giving good back so he says he did some he did some accounting did some account he says I have a thousand years in this world I have a thousand years in this world to serve a but I don't want to serve a for only for a thousand years I want to serve him forever I want to do forever I want to fulfill the entire T I don't want to just serve him for what a thousand years it's not enough to serve a to give him back what he gave me it's not enough if I serve him for infinite amount of infinite amount of years it's still not going to be enough but at least it's more than a thousand years so solution to make this big mitvah of serving hem and learn his T and do all the forever one solution what live forever how could I live forever I have to go find the Tree of Life says the tree of life was what in the middle of the garden where is the middle of the garden nobody knows nobody knows where the middle of the garden nobody knows where the garden began nobody knows where the garden ended so we don't know where the middle of the Gard G is says okay there's a middle of the Gard I don't know where the middle of the garden is but I do know where the tree of knowledge is how do I know how do we know that he knows where the tree of knowledge is because he found it and he ate it he says if I eat from the Tree of knowledge the first thing I'm going to ask from this new found knowledge what where's the tree of life if I have all knowledge I'm going to have knowledge of where the tree of life is and that's the reason why as soon as he ate from the Tree of knowledge Hashem kicked them out of the garden he said lest he eat from the Tree of Life and be like us live forever meaning you had a plan but I don't like your plan you did don't do I'm not looking for your I'm not looking for your accounting I wanted you to serve me a thousand years nothing more nothing less you did accounting that was the mistake so even though tried to do something good hasem says I didn't ask you to do this I asked you to do this don't do more than I ask you unless I give you permission to do it meaning that even to serve a require certain permission so we see here that made the mistake of eating from the Tree of knowledge in order to doah and the reason why this is a mistake is because it's not that hasem didn't want him to serve him forever is that hasem said don't eat from the Tree of knowledge so if you're going to make a sin in order to make a Mitzvah if you're going to eat from the Tree of knowledge which is a sin in order to make a mitvah of learning learning forever I appreciate your desire but that's not the way you serve me you don't serve me by spitting in my face first you don't serve me by driving on Shabbat I didn't ask you I told you don't drive on Shabbat I don't care where you drive on Shabbat unless it's the hospital because it's 911 and it's p it's life risk you're not all to drive on Shabbat even the even know the meal would be much more delicious had you cooked it fresh on Shabbat not allowed to do it why cuz I told you don't light a fire on Shabbat don't cook on Shabbat yeah but it' be much more delicious it'll be on Shabbat no it be Shabbat even more if you don't violate Shabbat meaning that even to serve hem has instructions and AD made a failure that he thought that because his ultimate intention is good it's great it's the best that means it's okay regardless of what path I take to get there Hashem says no it's the path that matters not the destination because the path is your choice the destination is mine I decide if you arrive at your destination I decide if you succeed or not I decide what's actually going to really happen you just have a visual of what's going to happen I decide if that's actually going to happen the only thing you decide is the path which path you going to take the right one or the wrong one so here we see that the BET uses as one of the examples of a person that had everything but did some self- accounting because he did not have enough in the system of hem he thought that he had a better system in order to serve hasem not to go get a second girlfriend he wasn't looking to violate AEM it's going to do what hasm wanted Hashem says no I have a system you have to have in my system I'm not asking you to add or subtract anything from my toah like some people today are trying to modernize the Torah they've been trying to modernize the Torah for centuries and every time they get to a culmination point where the modernization reaches a new low a disaster happens we talked about parts of it last week where reform was created a couple of hundred years ago reformed Judaism and unfortunately climax with the Holocaust A lot of the same garbage is happening today the reform we don't even consider Jewish anymore simply because they have practices that are so far away from Judaism I don't know even if you could consider it a religion at all but nonetheless the problem is no longer with them because everyone that knows a little bit about a little bit knows that you don't look for the opinions of the reform especially since many of them are self-hating Jews many of them are supporting the Palestinians and Kamas and the miracle and the the uh they call the uh missiles a miracle missiles that are being shot at am they call a miracle they have a uh aot protest the only way that the uh Jewish peace exists is if there's a free Palestine Jewish people that's what they say free Palestine this is a reform unfortunately so we don't consider anything reform is a disaster conservative is have become reform but the biggest problem that we have is from within us the lack of unity between us so-called Orthodox because there's so many different parts of Orthodox that you don't really know who's Orthodox who's not and the reason why is not because your Orthodox is better than his and his is better than yours and he has this hat and you have that hat no no has nothing to do with that stuff means nothing all that stuff the problem is that many people call themselves Orthodox but they're probably not even according to toah they're not even religious like for example there are many people that call themselves Orthodox but they decided they want to change they want to change they want to have women women be the s in theit they want to be women is going to hold the baby so the mo can come and do the bre a baby and they call themselves Orthodox so the head of came out with a says this is the talks about it already 500 years ago not allowed to have a woman as s if there's a man available which in 99.9999% of cases a man is available why because it's an immodest thing to do because the Sak anybody that had the Merit to have a b mil for their kid or go to a b Mila sees that the Sak holds the baby and the mo comes really close to the baby you have to be really close to the baby which means he's going to be on the chest of the w he's going to be close to her even if it's his wife it's not allowed why you're not allowed to show affection to your wife in public so if all of those people that decide for some reason to have pictures of themselves hugging their wife in public or put it on the internet you're making a sin from just so you know now a lot of people do it why because sometimes they see their Rabbi put it on the uh synagogue uh page him and is the raban hugging each other on the on the on the website is Rabbi such and such and the raban hugging each other on the the on the website so everybody thinks it's aah so you should know first and foremost we don't learn T from pictures we learn from pictures we learn T from looking at people we learn T from books what was written in books says not allowed to show affection to your own wife in public says so even if the raban is wearing a wig that's longer than the Exile you're still not allowed to wear a wig even if the rabbi goes to a church you're still not allowed to go to a church so just because people do it doesn't mean it's allowed you have to learn from the books and if the rabbi is making something that sounds a little off or it's contrary to what we say inim ask the rabbi can you show me uh somewhere in a book that says that what you're doing is allowed please thank you show me how you giving your wife a kiss on it Che in the public after the speech that's allowed please thank you people say a lot of stupid things they send me all somehow become the uh YouTube police every two seconds somebody sends me a YouTube video of some uh some guy calls himself a rabbi and he says something that's contrary to I say listen I can't be responsible for every every guy that has a YouTube channel it's not my fault that they decided to put themselves on YouTube why the only thing we have in common we both on YouTube that's it other than that he's I don't know what he is says oh but he says that you're allowed to tell a go do whatever he wants on Shabbat I said it doesn't say that show me one book who says that you have to tell a to do something specifically if you want Shabbat so yeah but what's the Shabbat goab are long and difficult long and difficult they're not so simple to have a Shabbat go people think no you could just tell the go to just do whatever you want on Shabbat it's not true it's not true at all it's not even close to you guy says on a video he's like yeah you know technically because electricity is only rabinal if you drive a Tesla on Shabbat it's allowed this what he says on a YouTube video a rabbi call himself Rabbi I say somebody says such a the thing I don't even know if he part of who said such where did you get this in a in a uh uh what those cookies that you get from Chinese restaurant what are they called fortune cookies where'd you get this fortune cookie where'd you get this where did they get this stuff so you always have to ask people please provide me a source of what you're saying why doesn't sound like uh what the book says even if it does if even if you yourself don't know what the book says you don't know what the book says if it sounds off to you it's most likely because it's off it's off so the tells us that you have to make sure to protect your n how keeping yourself busy work is not only a punishment it's also a way to keep you away from punishment because once ad made his own accounting to make a sin in order to make a mitvah and hasem says that calculation was wrong that calculation was wrong then says now you have have to leave the garden why because I don't want you to touch the tree of life but now because you've made this sin you now have a yet within you you have a yet within you you're gonna make sins I don't want you to make sins I don't want to get you because you made this one sin open you up to a slew of sins and then end up putting you in gay gnome no so I'm going to give you a cure what's the cure I'm going to keep you busy I'm going to keep you busy so now before the P was showing up your house you didn't have to do anything the Angels were cooking for you you didn't have to do anything now you have to work for the you have to work why cuz working is going to keep you busy if you're busy you're not going to go chasing girls you're not going to go to the bar you're not going to go play video games you're not going to go play basketball you're not going to go to clubs you're not going to go waste time on the internet you're working you're working you're not making sense unless your job the whole job is a sin which Unfortunately today there's many jobs that are just 100% sin guy owns a bar don't even plan for ganen you have a club Gan and you have nothing in common you have a place that steals money from people playing for a Gil just pick what you want to be a dog a cat a flower just look at different creatures in the world and like oh this this rock looks pretty good why most likely if you're stealing from people you'll come back as a rock you'll come back as a dog you'll come back as something why you cannot enter ganeden as a thief can't thieves do not enter ganeden so a person needs to take all this into account I'm busy staying away from sins so I might as well have an honest business pick an honest business whatever the honest business is because wants you to work in order to keep you occupied when you're not learning Torah if you could learn Torah 24 hours a day then stop making excuses and go learn don't say no no I could learn Tor 25 hours a day but I need certain conditions I need to be in warm weather I need the sun to shine on my face I need the books to be really pristine and new I don't want to use anybody's old books I need to make sure that rabiaa is looking at me I need to make sure that the TOs for all 2 thousand of them a next don't give AEM conditions grab a book and learn if you can't do it get a job get a job and watch a on the way to work watch on on the way home from work and at some point pick up a book and study for an hour if you could learn learn stop making excuses if you can't learn work why because that job is going to keep you away from sins which is half the battle now all you got to do if you've stayed away from sins most of the time cuz you're busy working that means when you're home if you're have a decent job and now you're going to have hopefully a life and a wife and kids they're also hopefully going to keep you away from sins because you're also going to be busy with them and then you're going to learn a little bit meaning you're going to leave yourself very very little time to sin says something fantastic in the name of the he says the says when Yad arrives y arrives is not going to be upset at the at the sin he's not going to be upset at the sin oh you went to this club you went to that he's not going to be upset at that no he's going to be upset about how do you have time to sin I gave you such a massive Torah I I gave you such a massive Torah that you could learn it from the beginning of the world all the way to the end of the world never finish how did you have time to learn toah and sin oh you didn't learn toah that's upsetting I gave you the gift of all gifts I give you a Torah I gave you all the answers to everything I gave you every good in the world I gave you and you had time to sin how how did you have time to sin oh you didn't learn TOA okay that's I'm upset about that I'm upset about the fact you learn to why because if you would have learned to you would have never sinned a person that is busy working a decent job has a family she has a family he has a family they have kids running around climbing the walls they're educating the kids they're doing everything leaves you very little time to sin really putting you in a in a situation where the only way that you're going to sin is if you simply do not learn any Torah whatsoever or the Torah that you learn has missing from it which means it's not really T it's Tor but it's like that's missing the key ing reading which is which unfortunately is very common today so if you're busy with work making a living and you're busy learning and managing the family you have very little if any time at all to sin that's half the battle what's the other half make sure that that work and that Torah that you're learning are Kosher that's the other half of the battle because if your job is kosher that means you're going to be thinking about Hashem at all time and you're working at some restaurant at some Factory at some building at some office the entire time that you're working counts as if you're learning to all the whole time why because the whole time you're thinking about wait wait Al says I'm not allowed to charge him this Al says I'm allowed to charge says I have to you're constantly think you're doing in your head what you're allowed to do what you're not allowed to do what you're allowed to do what you're not allowed to do and then at the end of the day you finally get paid at the end of the week at the end of the month whenever it is say oh says I have to give my where's give me a call Friday listen I have a serious serious question I'm thinking somebody calls me five times in one day what's happening can call okay I'll answer that I don't usually answer my phone five times you call me and answer the phone I have a serious question oh okay what's a serious question somebody dying Noom what is it from the gross or the net I said his serious question on a Friday afternoon is do I give from the gross income or the net income what a fantastic tal why all my T like this why because it makes a difference why it makes a difference what's what does AEM want you see he tells me here's the dilemma I want to do what Hashem wants but what Hashem wants doesn't make sense with my bank my bank doesn't want it there's a prise at debate M between AEM and my bank so tell me how to do this what's the M he says listen if my sale is from the gross income I'm not going to have enough money to pay the bills I have to borrow money to pay the bills if it's from net it's so little I might as well not even give it why gross income let's say is $1,000 after you pay the bills if you give M from $1,000 10% from from ,000 now it's to $100 but now you have $900 but your bills are $950 so now every month you're short 50 bucks so every month you have to borrow $50 what what are you gonna do says there a problem me I'm giving the money for this but on the other hand if I take the thousand and I the bills of $950 from it I have $50 back $50 left if I give myself the $50 it's $5 what's $5 what care about $5 $5 you give to a homeless guy what what possibly do with5 first of all you could do a lot with5 you could say five with5 but nonetheless is one of the tests of somebody came Toom and asked him this question said what do you give gross or net he says biblically the mitvah biblically the mitvah tvah is for people that deal with land with uh with a produce and things of that nature but the average person should also give but nonetheless what should it be off says supposed to be from the gross why from the gross he says because if people give it from the net no one would ever give Mel because the majority of people live above their means which means that they spend more money than they make which means that they will never have any net left there would never be a net or the net will be so little their M will be 27 cents here hold up the Yesa with this 27 cents maybe one of the tals can get a Bazooka gum like what are you going to do with 27 cents yeah but the guy made 100,000 last month yeah but his uh his M was only 27 cents why because he spends more than he makes so he says my S supposed to come from the gross gross means cost of doing Minus cost of doing business meaning if you're selling Goods if let's you uh have uh you sell you sell stuff you sell cars you sell houses whatever you sell and the goods cost you let's say $600 and you sold them for a th so it's the thousand minus the 600 cover the cost of the goods and then the that $400 is still technically considered the gross income that's gross income and from that you give them a sale of 40 10% of $400 is $40 not the $400 minus the other expenses like you have like your mortgage and your rent and your shoes and the kids tuition and every single thing under the sun and the Bazooka for the and every no no you give the $40 from there why he says because if you don't then two things will fail one you'll never give M two you'll never have auna you'll never have auna in your life why because what what did he say he says give tithe give 10% and I guarantee you'll be rich when I didn't say when but you'll be rich in your lifetime yeah but how could I be rich if my is putting me uh in a situation where I'm barely affording things because says see I want you to stop using your logic have a that this is going to work even though mathematically it's not supposed to mathematically it's not supposed to why you know you're going to make a thousand you know out of a thousand 100 is there but you know the 950 J bills mathematically it doesn't work hasm says that's what I want you to do against your own logic why because that's going to show that when a Salvation comes it's going to be against logic against math therefore it's from hem when you see the Salvation come from Hashem your will be built when you see that somehow you're still living somehow makes the expenses a little less somehow sends a little bit more than $1,000 somehow it all works somehow maybe not right away maybe after three months maybe after five months maybe after a year but somehow it all adds up and you're still okay in fact you're even better than okay and when you reflected the whole year you reflected the last few years and you realize wow I gave M every single month for the last 36 months for the last 48 months not only am I not missing I actually have more more than what I did the other 48 months that I didn't give how ah it's AEM it's AEM that's how you build aun you overcome the obstacles so this job that you have this business that you have is supposed to be a way for you to serve AEM if the job is kosher the business is kosher and then what you do with the money is kosher you give you spend the money on kosher food you spend the money on sending your kids to kosher schools you do kosher things with the money then your entire job becomes as if you learned to the whole day so then that leaves you no time to sin that's you become a sad in this generation sounds simple no it is very very simple but also very difficult why you have a pretty big enemy his name is the and he has probably another few dozen names sometimes he calls you his best friend sometimes he calls you your boss your employee your buddy your Rabbi calls them he has different names M called them ra evil each one of the each one of theik each one of the sages had a different name for him and he wants to put your amuna to the test so even though Hashem put a system in place for you to keep busy and stay away from sin is going to try to constantly give you test to maybe cheat a little bit of here cheat a little bit of there take a little more here take a little more there why because once you fall once you're in his hands he's going to get you to fall again once you look once at a girl that's not your wife most likely you're going to look again once you look the second time it becomes Mitzvah in your head all of a sudden you're allowed to look once you cheat once nobody catches you you're going to cheat again why you cheat again to cheat and that's what the tries to get you he tries to get you with small things so hasem says please if you keep yourself busy with your job and then through your job you connect to me you learn you use that Torah that you're learning to connect to me through your job you're you're why all day you with me all day you with me and you'll see how actually protects us through the difficulties showing us how even the punishment on was not really a punishment it's really a protection measure it's a fence around the fence and that's why it says in says did you ever see a wild animal or a bird who has a trade meaning that it has a uh job yet they make a living without difficulty the animals and the birds were created to serve mankind wouldn't it therefore be much more fitting that man should make a living without difficulty the answer is that man chose to do evil deeds and cut off his free livelihood therefore a person must have some occupation to keep himself busy he must bear in mind that all of his efforts really don't help him at all rather when he works he should think that he's fulfilling the decree of the king who decreed that his food will only be gotten by toil it says in the Mida 143 that man was born to labor and if he does not labor he will not have what to eat now if a person uses his labor uses his job to connect to he can start seeing his job his tools his life his world around him as literally as everything becomes AES everything becomes a tool to sanctify aem's name so for example some fools that are zealous in the wrong places like to push weak people around so they go in different places and yes and things of that nature and they see somebody with a smartphone and they take the smartphone from their hand they start yelling at them and insulting them and throw it in the garbage why because they saying what the smartphones is a way for you to reach pornography and immodesty and gambling and all the garbage in the world so you have it I'm saving You by destroying your phone now thank you but no thank you why first of all it's not Al To Go destroy somebody's phone it's actually against you're embarrassing another person in public second of all what if I'm using this phone to spread aem's toah what if this phone is the tool that I use to go share Tor with a million people a week is it still a sin to have that phone it's a mitvah it'sah to have that phone it's AES why if I don't have the phone I can't reach a million people to do cha so before you go smashing people's phones before you decide what who's and who's who's who's a who's Wicked who's righteous hey hey look in the mirror first ask some questions second mind your business third maybe you have to make sure that you understand that not every tool is the same one guy can use a hammer to build a building another guy can use a hammer to make uh chicken cutlets another guy can murder with it everybody uses a tool differently if you use the tools that a gave you for good things you're allowed to have them if you don't use them for good things you're not allowed to have them but sometimes people have different things that gave them and they mistreat them like some people mistreat their wives they complain about their wives non-stop or women that complain about their husband non-stop he's never this he's never that he's never this he's never that Shalom says there was this one woman he says I felt bad for a husband every time I would come visit them from the second that I came in from the second I came in until the second I left she didn't stop complaining about a husband he's good for nothing he's a terrible he's a lazy oh he said if I was a husband I probably commit suicide I don't know what I would do I mean the guy was such simple guy learns a little bit of T really nice guy I had no idea why she's complaining about him but she had a dictionary of descriptions for him he says one day who has had enough of her insulting a husband says you don't like him fine I'll take him I'll take him back that's what he did he took him back he brought him back to sham so again says I thought she's going to be happy worst case scenario whatever I'll take her a little bit of time to get over what getting used to life but I'll find her within a few months so when she when the whole thing happened he died she was crying I said you know everybody cries no problem few months from now I see her again everything's going to be over she's ready to get married within a few months I come back I come back and I come visit her and her family six months after I come back six months after and I say uh so how's everything to listen at some point we have to move on you're still young start a new family she again says she lost her mind what what are you talking about what family who can measure up to the sadik that I hadde in my own house the M of the generation what aad I had what a I'm saying to myself is this the same woman that I saw six months ago she was cursing a husband been every two second and Every curse in the book for years 10 years she didn't stop cursing him now all of a sudden mosu a wise person that knows how to be grateful says thank you to hem while he has stuff so gives you something gives you a wife gives you a husband gives you a child gives youa gives you anything say thank you say thank you why because if he takes it away I promise you your life is not going to be the same and once he takes it he doesn't necessarily give it back he doesn't necessarily give it back so a lot of people like to complain they like to complain to you know all Ty because they think that if they complain it's going to make things better it makes things worse this is part of the problem when you have when you have a lack of in a running the world you think that you could run the world better than him you know a lot of people say yeah you know what this and this happened but you know what if I could do it I would do it better if I do this I could do better everybody thinks they could do a better job than God so they complain about everything they complain about the job they complain about money they complain about the customers they complain about the uh husband and the wife and the kid they complain Non-Stop about stuff saids I don't like complainers because you complaining means that you have miscommunication with me so let me remind you who runs the show and sometimes he reminds us and that reminder is very very much more painful than the little difficulty that you have so it's important for a person to use every single tool that Hashem gives him to serve hem he gave you kids the kids are driving you crazy how can you use that to serve hem don't go crazy hasem sent me the little kids to drive me crazy don't go crazy why cuz that's what hasm wants he wants you to overcome that test they he sent he gave the little kids the desire to climb the walls five minutes before you have to go to a really important meeting one kid is handing off the chandelier the other one is holding his legs and your wife is tearing our hair off it's like how I'm going to do with these two kids and three kids and four kids you're leaving me I do and you have to go to a meeting now you can go crazy you could just abandon ship and say you're on your own lady after all they came from your body not mine you could do one of those things but then you have a divorce too so what do you do don't go crazy go inside come collected get them off the chandelier play with them for a few minutes be late for your meeting five minutes be late for your meeting 10 minutes why that's a test that's a test why those kids those kids that were supposed to drive you crazy you change they change if you change yourself they're going to change the key is use that tool to serve AEM your wife just said something to you that's not exactly uh ideal technically you're supposed to be like every other Joe in the street and start yelling back she yells you yells she yells you yells and the neighbors take pictures and then they put it on Facebook it's like oh see that's my neighbor CNN please come save us something I don't know but here's the thing guys if you do that then you're just like every other failure in the world but if you remember that a send you that test send you the wife that cursed you send you the wife that complained send you the kids that drove you crazy send you the customer that didn't pay on time send you the landlord that won't stop complaining send you all of those problems you understand the Kosh is sending you the problems guess what this is another way to serve AEM this problem is the way to serve hem that's whatav said to his people when shim cursed him out it Every curse Under the Sun you're a bastard you're a cheater you're a idol worshiper you're the worst person on Earth pretty much but is his General said why should I let this dog live and let my master get cursed like this let me go chop his head off DE says no Shalom he's not cursing meem is hasem is Hashem is Hashem is allowing it to happen meaning made him the one to curse me so I can serve AEM through this how I could overcome my desire desire to do the same thing you want to do to him which is chop his head off I want to chop off his head but hm doesn't want me to I'll tell my son to do it though that's what he did he told his son before he left he say don't leave him the same figure out a way that it's kosher tell him he's not allowed to leave the city if he doesn't leave the city he's fine he leaves the city then you pay back all debts and that's what happened he couldn't comply with the rule he left the city paid him off nice old debt but the point is at a difficult moment knew this is from hasem this is our test every day you have a customer that's difficult you have a boss that's difficult you have a wife that's difficult a husband that's difficult anything use that to serve AEM why because by serving Hashem through the difficulty and overcoming that difficulty you are showing the ultimate in what in a system of how he's running the world you have confidence hem I don't know how you're doing it what you're doing up there but I know it makes sense to you that's enough for me it doesn't make any sense to me but I'm still going to do my job why all I need to know it's from you I know it's from you that's enough I'm going to do my job I'm going to do my job simple stupid that's it all I got to do is just I'm going to do my job simple person I know has runs the world all I gotta do is my job this I know it sounds a little bit against our nature because we always want to be smarter than what we need to be we want to like help AEM out do yourself a favor don't help him be simple be simple hasem wants you to do what you need to do you have a job do the job you have a learning do the learning you have a relationship take care of the Rel Rel whatever it is through the difficulty understand it's from Hashem the good is from hem whatever is from use all of the things in your life to serve a and you'll see that your life turns into a blessing a blessing day after day but again that means you have to be busy you have to busy working if you're working for hem doesn't matter if you're on Wall Street or not if you're working for hem it doesn't make a difference where you are because you're using everything to connect to next week we'll continue and it says hm alone provides for us he doesn't need our work to be able to provide for us we see this by some we'll go over some that are very very interesting then we'll talk about perhaps some situations where things seem hopeless when times are really really seem like hopeless you'll see how is the only thing that you have but really what Hashem was trying to get you to is that hopeless situation you put you in that hopeless situation because he wants you to see that it's from him any questions we have another couple this week well there's some other stuff I want to talk to you about but I'm assuming that we'll probably cover them during the other uh Tuesday we are in Aventura same time 9:00 uh we're continuing our series about uh EG uh the first one had very very good feedback uh I hopefully will have the books the for each one of you uh to uh to bring to the sh hopefully I'll have it by then I haven't gotten them yet but I order them and hopefully they'll arrive by then and then on uh Wednesday we are back here we're back here uh doing uh the questions and answers so if you have some good questions bring them on Wednesday amen V amen [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music]
