[Music] you have merits and therefore people do youa for you I'm Tuki I'm the little parrot I say stuff that hasm tells me to say and that's it you guys have merits I'll tell you what merits you have now one of the most difficult things in this generation do CH for for women is K covering here now we've talked about this again I told you on Sunday we're not going to talk about it again but then I told you we are going to talk about it we'll talk about it why because that night hey it's not my fault that night I got home I got Le I got an email from one of my students in Canada best story yet many people have told me that they've made the change they Chu and so on actually even have a k by the way I can't tell you where then there's going to be problems aik these little kabik women everybody put everybody took off the wig that's like mashia he brought the mashiah M you have a whole K in the west coast that allad all the women decided we're going to put no more wigs but this story beats it in my opinion you guys decide this story beats it now the whole the debate for years already of whether it's a uh mod not modest we're not going to go into that we talked about how it's the source of real hair wigs is it's from India it's creating a they're doing it as a and so on and so forth we're not going to repeat it because we're running out of time and we haven't even started the real part of the mishna so people keep telling me whenever I come up with new information they always say yeah but this one said this but this one said that everybody always has rebuttal why because they want to continue wearing wigs and now he said if they fought as much for the Mitzvah of Shabbat as they do for the Mitzvah of the wig that they think is a Mitzvah would keep all of would keep Shabbat instead of only 20% of it most of the people that fight me are not the women it's actually the men which ones the rabbis the rabbis fight me all the time it's the most insane thing in the world they don't stop texting me and emailing me and calling me non-stop it's the most annoying thing in the world I have to put them on block because they don't stop but anyway it's a very very difficult transition what if you go from nothing to a scarf on your head it's it's not easy but it's not impossible because you just you go from nothing to something but to go from a wig that makes you look like a model to a that makes you look like a Jew it's a big transition especially when everyone else still looks like models it's a big peer pressure difficulty and so on and so forth so I said listen it's not a matter of modesty only it's also a matter of a it's Ten Commandments it's basic Judaism 101 the the hair comes from India it's a so now people always say no but maybe didn't mean it for it to be a and one p said that if they really didn't mean it and it was really only their fathers that meant it and it was really not them that meant it or was somebody else that meant it and really the statue wasn't there it was really in a different room and then they didn't really give him any money for and all these stot excuses of why it's not nonsense point is people keep fighting for it I think this story if anyone understands the story the magnitude of the story I think this is like a nail in the coffin if you want to know the woman I give you the information her name is Malika she lives in Canada did full chuv with this thing what does she say she says she sends me a story it's like long overdue and she says that after she realized all of the problems with the wigs she realized we can't do this anymore we can't keep wearing uh praying to Hashem with on her head it's like telling your wife you love her with your girlfriend right here it's not going to work it's not going to work it's just not going to work you can't have AB on your head and tell help me out with some give me give me this give me you can't it's not it's not possible so now she says we have to do husband agrees she puts now the first night she goes to the sh everybody looks at her like she has six heads whoa what happened because there's only one other woman the whole that has a scarf on her head everyone else has Marilyn Mon Rose everyone else has wigs and this and that everyone has so they all looking but they were nice enough to like say oh oh good for you you know they weren like some of the other people that I have one woman that put a uh on she was a she was a teacher in a Yesa a teacher in Yesa in London she came to the Yesa with the the principal of the school the head Rabbi of the school came to her and says if you don't take that off and put a wig on I'm firing you head Rabbi of yes Rabbi is like this we don't need Satan he's already doing it so anyway she comes to the Sho everyone looks like she has six heads but little by little little they cool off and then some people give even compliments they're nice enough about it but still you never really know maybe they're going to say something bad after maybe this maybe that never really know you need some extra fire what did I tell you in the beginning of this shoe what did R say someone that comes to become purified hem gives him a hand how much of a hand how much does he need customade she arrives home she goes home she has a little four-year-old C little angel and a little cute little angel goes into a room that no one goes into some room they it's used for storage in the house used for storage and he comes out with what a JC Penny statue in his hand he comes out with why where's the Statue coming from she's not Christian husband's not what happened they were storing some stuff for an old tenant who never picked up his stuff and they said when he picks up his stuff eventually will'll give it to him they didn't know we didn't look through his stuff it's his stuff so it's left in this room that they don't use anyway little four-year-old angel came in there she sees she has the statue not only that used to be on her head used to be in the house she destroys the statue like she's obligated to do only mitvah what statues are to destroy them so Hashem showed her listen good you had the statue on your head but you also had it in your house because you removed it out of your own will from your head I'll remove it out of your house million bucks or not worth coming tonight just for this story right if you guys have the story here I have printed out but it would take me longer to say it there's actually more details to the story but I think you got the point that's for such people created the world for such people hem continues the world it says every every Shabbat we say God sat while he destroyed the world with the flood how come he doesn't destroy the world people like this do chuva people like this do chuva you have to understand you come tohu you give power to the speaker you give him something to say Hashem gives him word to say because of you that's also kiru it's not just this it's not just it's not one thing it's a Million Parts it's a machine it's a machine that works [Music]
