Your Emunah Is In Your Pocket - MUSSAR Pirkei Avot (90)

[Music] good we're good we good we're good wait for some people to go online M God bless them as always online right away to Dick wait wait a few people have two three oh okay wait for two minutes and we'll start nonstop okay we are up to number 90 it's a uh it's been a uh the biggest uh series yet even though we have another one a series that we that has I think 100 12 130 we repeated some of the same par a couple of times even though it's new material uh but uh series is going well lots of lots of new we just had three B outside I tell you a story in a second but also the sh will be for to Leana s Lana Doris Bora David benri Elisha SAR um raim benam ranit sah anat Rael bamit khatam Mercedes Mercedes and all of will have so uh first and foremost it's a song I remember when I maybe 30 something years ago when I was a little kid used to sing the song the song I guess probably too young you don't know what song Good song he knows the song at least not the oldest one so uh probably yeah it's a [Laughter] different so a lot of people um like to bat why is very very little things to do as far as you know MIT you know in regards to obligation to go to synagogue normal like any other day normal like any other day you don't have to fast in fact you should eat extra food so people like those kind of holidays like puim like kanuka but tubish is not really just about eating some fruits uh a lot of people like to eat the dry fruits which uh is not exactly the best idea for a couple of reasons uh number one the a lot of these fruits come even though they have you obviously first of all you have to make sure that they're kosher because unlike a regular fruit that you buy from a store these dry fruits they put chemicals on them different things different added ingredients to the fruit so the added ingredients have to be kosher so you have to make sure that whatever you bought these dry fruits in is a kosher uh and the reason why is because the go do not have the the same obligation like Jews to make sure that certain things are clean that they uh don't have worms and maggots and uh all types of other interesting bugs in the food it's okay if you have if you find a fly in a uh in a in a hamburger in McDonald's they just gonna tell you I'm sorry we'll give you a new hamburger you can't sue them for it and they're not going to feel bad about they're not going to go home and say they're not do in Chua accident happens okay there's a little bug usually there's bug you just don't see it they cook it with the bug but you saw at this time we're sorry sir we're sorry that you ate the fly you saw the fly that you're about to eat you should have taken the bite instead you would have missed the whole thing but it's not it's not against their religion to have bugs in their food and as a matter of fact some people are all they eat is bugs you go to different part different parts of of of Asia they have entire dinners full of huge bugs sometimes they're alive sometimes they're dead depends a holy people hasem says be holy cuz I am Holy to be holy you have to act different from the rest of the world and we're not allowed to eat bug bugs um there is a certain type of bug like uh that used to be in which was the um it's not a grasshopper really it's a uh but it looks like a grasshopper but today only in the old yemenite uh kot which I don't believe there's any really in America uh there are kot of yemenites obviously there are yemenites in America we have a few in the sh but kot of of yemenites oldfashioned you know that's Israel in Yemen they still eat it they still eat this uh this specific grasshopper like uh bug uh why are they allowed to do it because this bug is actually kosher kosher according to the Torah so how come we're not allowed to eat it because we can't tell the difference from a regular grasshopper to the K of grasshopper we can't tell the difference and it's not part of your tradition therefore you're not allowed to eat it they can't there you go to Yemen they'll tell you which one is coach which one is not but here in America or in Israel in different parts of the world we don't have that tradition and not to eat it otherwise there's no bugs that's allowed for is in fact it says in the Torah when you eat a bug when when you eat a bug and you become imp purified it imp purifies your soul so the sages say what does it mean it says if you notice in the the word there's a missing Al the word is missing so you could also say what's you become stupid what stupid the guy built a building how come he's stupid he's not stupid a guy could do a math in his head 5,000 divided by 3.67 five in his head two seconds he's not stupid no not stupid like that stupid meaning spiritually stupid you go to sh 20 years still didn't do Chua some people go to sh 20 years still didn't do Chua why they still eating bugs still eating bugs every time a person eats a bug whether it's a worm or a maggot or a fly it's all the same it's five different sins the equivalent of eating five cups or five bites of pig five five bit you know you tell a regular Jew that still has some level of sh some level of connection to hem you tell them you violate Shabbat yeah I don't keep Shabbat you tell them uh you uh go out with non-jews yeah sometimes you tell them you eat pig hey what do you think I am a go relax relax okay said I go out with them I go on Shabbat I go to I do all the other things but pigs I don't eat that's that's that's that's the that's a typical Jew I was one of them I said same thing this yes this yes this a pig I don't eat pig so knows pig is when you eat a bug you're eating big pig five times five times so it's not just one it's five so this means that you have to be very very careful with the vegetables and the fruits that you eat and you have to make sure that you clean them you have to clean them especially if you're eating salads uh there's a fool that calls himself a rabbi um and unfortunately has a famous name uh and uh aadya and people think he's connected to radya but he's connected to maybe JC Penney more than he's connected the r z but anyway he wrote that yeah you can go to any vegan restaurant even if it's not Kosher he said he's a pek now he made himself he just declared himself a PK declared himself a p no one declared him a p he declared he's a p he declared he's a pek he's going to write an article that you can go to any vegan restaurant even if it's not Kosher because it's only vegetables and if you can't see it don't worry about it meaning if you can't see the bug with your eyes you have nothing to worry about so that means you if you can't see anything you don't have to worry about it's a new law we just add a new law to the Tor so don't listen to such people you have to check in the books what it says the books do not say anything like this the books say something quite different the books say if you eat a bug you have a serious problem now obviously it's not we're not talking about things that are microscopic talking about things that if you check you'll find it you wash it right you'll find it a lot of people that like to eat if you're not cleaning your beans you are 100% % eating bugs if you're not cleaning your beans if you're not cleaning your rice if you're not cleaning your vegetables especially if it's like uh um salads types of vegetables you are 100% eating just as many bugs as you're eating tomatoes at least so that's why it's important to wash the vegetables very carefully you have to put them into uh soap soap water you have to uh put them into salt water it's a process it's a process that's what it means to you be holy be holy means we're not animals we don't just eat whatever's in front of us because we're hungry just because there's food doesn't mean you're allowed to eat it you have to contain yourself this is part of this is part of controlling your desires if you see food and by the time you realize that you have to check for a kosher stamp you already ate the food you have no whatsoever you have no idea do you just ate a bunch of bugs and a bunch of things that you're not supposed to eat and if you knew what you just ate Not only would you do we probably throw up also so please you have to check tuat is a very very important holiday but it's not important because of the fruits and vegetables it's important because it reminds us of what it means to be a Jew what does it mean to be a Jew when it says is the holiday for trees and so on we have to connect it to the Tor this holidays means that it's connected to the Tor it's not a we're not going that we just create things out of out of nothing so uh the Torah in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 20 verse says Adam is referring according to Rish says Adam means the Jew the Jew he's the tree in in the in the field in the garden what does it mean he's a tree you ever see a guy with a branch coming out of his head if he has a branch out of his head he's I don't know if he's a Jew something else sick he has cancer maybe so what does it mean yeah maybe it's one of these Indians that donates the wigs but uh which is a story of its own but anyway it says what does it mean what does it mean what does it mean what does it mean also if you look at a uh Mish Mish Proverbs 3:18 something you read in your shom says the the Tree of Life the people that have uh the people that hold on to the tree of life you have to hold on to the Tree of Life why those that invest in it they're the ones that benefit out of it it's a little bit of convoluted translation but I'll explain what it means the the the tree is a sadik is a sadik is someone a when the Tora says is referring to an a it's referring to a sadik why if you see a huge Garden huge Garden be Acres Long whatever it is what's what's the most significant part of the gun it's the tree same thing in the world you have 8 billion people out of the 8 billion people you have a small nation called the Jewish Nation some say 15 some say 20 give or take few million 20 million Jews that we know of out of the 20 million we have 3 million maybe keep at least we try very small percentage unfortunately out of the 3 million that keep to you have a few few we don't know how many we know that the world cannot exist without having at least the 36 the 36 kikim that in essence give the world power it's like the energy that runs the world that hm that hm keeps the world going with there's 36 that are you don't know about them they're not on YouTube they're not on YouTube they're uh they're not famous and sometimes you don't even know theim just look like regular people I can tell you from my experience little bit experience that I have I don't know if this person is sadik of one of the 36 or not but when we say the people sadik people think oh yeah this guy reads a lot of books or this guy has uh you know I don't know big TI and a big hat and a long beard and he's old he's like uh Noah no not necessarily not necessarily sometimes they're old sometimes they're young sometimes you know sometimes there's no one size fits all but I know one sadik one sadik that I met and how do I know he's a sadik how I know this is with my own eyes don't ask me the name I'm not going to tell you the name you can ask me from here till next year year I'm not going to tell you the name cuz then he you're going to torture him I don't want him to I promised I'm not going to say the name so please don't ask me the name not now not after this you who what when and how is irrelevant but I can tell you for sure I know he's sadik how do I know he's sadik I told him listen there's a very very good woman that I knew and uh everything good M suffering unbelievably major health issues doctors don't know how to explain it don't know that's my my situation you go to the doctor it says um we don't know but how come you still collecting the bill you don't know if you don't know then at least don't charge me no no we still we did the work worked on you for two three hours it's uh $2,000 an hour but you don't know you have no qu that's the way it is sir we don't get paid based on the uh the solutions or the cures we get paid based on time we saw you we get paid you go another doctor another doctor another doctor 50 doctors later no one knows anything but you still out hundreds of thousands of dollars so unfortunately this tadik had a serious situation very very sick no one knows why no one knows who no one knows nothing nothing so I don't usually go and above and beyond people are sick what can you do but this particular situation was different anyway I happened to talk to him about it I saw him happen to talk to him about it and uh I said okay nothing no I didn't say listen Maybe This maybe I didn't say nothing I just said what it said that's it next next day next day now like a year later it was a coincidence next day she tells me Rabbi what happened I said nothing what do mean what happened you tell me what happened so no no Rabbi something happened why happened because I'm cured what do you mean you're cured 50 doctors don't know nothing RAB I'm cured no pain no nothing everything's gone I asked them about I asked them you what happened here he goes no no nothing nothing what do you mean nothing goes I just talk to hem don't worry just go go go go back to Le I just talk to hasem I just talk to Hashem they okay I don't have I don't need proof no sadik such a person but so they such people do exist such people do exist why don't they why don't they walk around the street and start curing cancer every day and start curing everyone because like if you came or you watch the Shure on Sunday if you came or you watch the Shure on Sunday you would know that it's not so simple meaning yes we have the power to do a lot of things according to the Torah but it doesn't necessarily mean that we use it somebody came to the and told him please give me the lot of numbers I know you know cabala you know a lot of secrets in the Tor Give me the give me the numbers for I'll make some money I'll donate to the says no please Annoying the rabbi like some of my students annoy me sometimes like they don't stop they ask the same question 57 times but it's in different ways is the Wiggle all no is it allowed if if well second R if I don't do it in front of everyone maybe no one else knows it's a wig no is it allowed though is it allowed if I just wear it in the street but not in the house no is it allowed if I just wear it in the house but not the street no it and they ask the same question 900 different ways just to find out a way of how to ask the same question sometimes so the Apparently had the same kind of student the guy is asking for the lot of numbers he's asking for the lot of numbers and says no no we don't do such things no no no no no no no no no no but the guy won't leave him alone he goes okay fine listen I'm going to give the lot numbers but you're only allowed to check tomorrow okay fine whatever you want he writes the numbers he puts it in the envelope he goes here it's over here it's over here we're going to lock it up tomorrow you're allowed to open it said the next day the come the guy comes he's excited he takes the lot numbers he thinks he's going to go f go no no no here's the lot of numbers those there's no internet there's no they announce it in the news you have to go check he takes the lot of numbers he goes to to the market he finds out it's the winning numbers but for the night before meaning he can't use it it's you knew though the knew the numbers for the lot so he comes back to go okay but you knew but give me the ones before it comes out he goes no no no if you were asking do we know the numbers for the lot or anything that's beyond that nature of course that's to to can give you the power to change nature but that's not what we have the Torah for we don't use the Torah for such things that's not the point of the Torah I only showed it to you to show you the capacity of the Torah to some extent not because you're going to go make money that way so when you have someone sadik that's the S you got to stick to them you got to stick to them to says someone that invest because the the the sadik is giving the world power the sadik is giv the world a right to exist and the ones that invest in a sadik real sadik not the one that says it's sadik if he says it's sadik automatically he's not sadik if he has Flyers that say sadik is definitely not sadik definitely not sadik example for example you have Shalom they used to celebrate celebrate when they would see him and uh during the month of alul he would do lecture after lecture after lecture each one 10,000 people each lecture 10,000 people they would flying with a helicopter to different stadiums so now one time in mon of they flown with the helicopter into the field places over 10 20,000 people maybe and he comes in he sits on the stage there the microphone but he didn't realize that the microphone was on he didn't realize he didn't think the she were started yet so you know sometimes takes a little time to set up so he starts mumbling something starts mumbling something and then he stops when he realizes that every everyone is listening and knows exactly what he's saying because it's in the microphone with the blasting speakers and what is he saying everyone is saying celebrating crating T what is he saying it's disgusting to hem anyone that has arrogance meaning all of this stuff all of them celebrating your name don't take it to your head you're nothing say saying this know 60,000 books by heart biggest Rabbi in the last thousand years he's saying what do you think who do you think you are you take this to your head you think they you're a big deal you're disgusting to hm just and that second you decide that what they're saying is true you're disgusting you everything you did you've turned it into something disgusting to so if you have someone says is not one of the 36 he's not sadik like one time I had a guy tell me listen you have to learn you have to be humble like me I'm humble you have to be righteous like me I'm righteous remember I showed you the remote Man Of Truth like me says I showed you that one yeah man of Truth humble I'm humble he says so Tor says the Jew is supposed to be the eight the Jew is supposed to be sadik and those that invest in the sadik those that invested in sadik why is why is the one that's investing in sadik should be a sadik he gave more money he has a bigger bank account now has nothing to do with it why if he's sadik if he's sadik then Hashem already made a promise already made a promise that wres in I've been young I've been old and I have never seen a righteous person hungry that meaning that Hashem left him destitute no such thing maybe sadik's coming in the train so the humble one the uh the one from the video so says he says I've never seen AEM leave a you know leave a sadik destitute which means rabot that if he's sadik money's coming anyway p is coming anyway he has nothing to worry about this is why it says meaning the one that invest in it the one that gives is is the only one that benefits why cuz the money was going to come to him anyway just that the guy that invested in it or the woman that decided to invest in the sadik she decide to be the tool that Hashem used that's it that's the free choice Hashem has many many tools but you deciding to be the tool that's why you right that's why you are praiseworthy why because now you're going to benefit out of it he was going to benefit anyway his P was already in sh now in the mishna here that we're up to and also the par also connects to the same thing same thing that we learned from we're also going to learn both from the par CH and the mishna and the in is full of Miracles Secrets M pretty much you read this par a million times you're still going to learn new things Ten Commandments complaints money issues health issues children issues marriage issues everything you want to learn in life you can learn from this par really in every par but this par is a little easier because it's obvious but nonetheless anything you want to learn is in this par but all also in this mishna that we're up to we're up to mishna chapter 5 mishna 6 again for people that have a different type of a uh uh they uh although the chapters are the same sometimes the the numbers of the Mish are the different sometimes the uh certain combined Mish into one but in this s it's mishna 6 and it says the following 10 trials with 10 trials did our ancestors test the Holy One blessed is he in the wilderness in the desert as it says in numbers 14:22 they have tested me these 10 times and did not heed my voice now thebat Shalom starts the P starts his commentary on this mishna with something extraordinary a new thing what does he say nothing new was delivered directly by this mishna no there's no here so why did you mention this mishna each mishna is foundation each Mish has endless amount of lessons that's not he didn't say there's no lessons he said there's no nothing new meaning that just learning this PUK from the Torah that's something that has to be part of your foundation of all of your learning of everything that you do in life from the minute you were born until the minute you go up to sh if you don't know the P the details the hidden ones the obvious ones the ones connected directly and indirectly you don't know what's going on with this verse you're missing the point in life he says the didn't give you this p as if they're trying to bring some new thought no no no they're telling you this PUK has all of it just like we had recently we're talking about a different P for M what was the P do anybody remember you guys write notes was talking about uh someone that benefits or celebrates if you will the misery of another loses hisa loses why am I the only one learning here you now you remember it now you remember it where's the notebook say that if a person Cates someone that celebrates another person's another is brother not phys not literally his biological brother but someone that celebrates his brother's demise his fall his loss loses his share of the world to come meaning most of us are in trouble if we don't do chuva for this why most people love to see other people fail it's actually like almost like like a pleasure before you do chuva it's almost like a pleasure to see other people fail when you win you win in sports what do they do in football they do the the the end zone dance what's the endzone dance laughing in the other guy's face we score they they call it all different types of vulgar names how they laugh in each other's face because they scored if a guy gets a deal that outwits his competitor he spends even more money than he profited celebrating the fact that he outweighted his competitor than the fact that he got the deal he's more happy about outwitting his competitor than getting the money and so on and so forth in life in life unfortunately many people have a unethical way of celebrating their their pleasure and life is to see other people fail and this according to our Tor you keep Shabbat you keep all the other things you do this on a regular basis without doing Chu you're going to show up to and say do not enter do not enter why you have no midot so can some can such a thing really happen someone keeps all the mitv and shows up and uh you know they say do not enter no this is hypothetical why hypothetical because if you have such a bad Mida that you like to see other people fail you're probably not keeping Shabbat and you're probably not keeping a lot of other things that's not going to be the only reason you lose your if you have such horrible mid that you like to see other people fail you may keep Shabbat but you're probably breaking a bunch of other so fixing your midot is critical and this is one of the big ones but here the mishna doesn't talk about this mishna talks about something quite different Mish is telling you a in the Tor that our ancestors which were called the generation of knowledge why why generation of knowledge because they got their knowledge directly from the source from God himself when this this okay of course we got certain things from andov all the way from to Noah and so on and so forth but but all of it culminated and we got firsthand knowledge Mount when is it you would think we're coordinating so it says that this is generation of knowledge weren't exactly such simple people it says that not only did they have knowledge but they also had a lot of complaints too lots of complaints in fact this mishna is specifically mentioning that there were 10 significant ones 10 significant complaints now many times in the Torah when it says a number it says 10 it's just really indicating a large amount here it's specifically saying no no there was actually 10 there was actually 10 specific sins 10 specific things that did many of them hasem considered destroying them for it wasn't like complained hey you know hasem uh you only gave me $1,500 this week can you make it$ 2,000 make it round no it wasn't like that kind of a complaint it's a little big deal at least that's what we're seeing right now superficially we'll get deeper now who is this who are these people who are this door if you remember the sages explained to us in M says Al alv meaning I wish that one out of five or even one out of 500 left Egypt but we all know that not even one out of 5,000 left Egypt what does he mean he says I wish that when the sages said that one out of five of B is left Egypt and the other four died because they didn't want to do chuva I wish it was really that good of a number he says I wish it was even one out of 500 but we all know it was not even one out of 5,000 meaning when we say that 20% of Amed survived Egypt and 80% didn't he says I wish I wish he says it wasn't even one out of 5,000 meaning it wasn't even mamash it wasn't even a percent it was two out of every 10,000 two out of every 10,000 now 1% of 10,000 is what 100 1% of 10,000 is 100 which means that two two is 2% of the 100 that's 1% it's a fraction of a fraction of a percent it's a fraction of a fraction of a percent and he says Al it's even that meaning it's probably worse there's one scary as death it says it was one out of 500,000 now people always say listen what about uh now what about mhia comes Now is it going to be the same as Egypt because it says in the book of Jeremiah and several other places that the Miracles and the events that happened in the times of Egypt will happen again the time of the G the time of mashia does that also mean that the same percentage of people same limited amount of people will be saved that we don't know why don't we know because everything is subject to chuba if people do chuva we do better if they don't we do worse if mashia that everybody's excited for a lot of people that are especially secular people or people that don't keep much they're excited for mashia to come because they think the mhia is going to solve all their problems in reality they should actually read t for him not to come because if he came they're doomed there's no more chuva meaning if mashia shows upai right now with finish whatever you are you are this is why even the great RAB the rabbi of Raba said I want the mashia to come I just don't want to be alive when he does it's could be very hard times meaning the told us don't worry about what's going to happen after mashia comes in fact the rambam says that learning about what's going to happen after mashia comes is a complete waste of time a lot of people love to talk about oh are they going to do this and what's going to happen with the planets and what's going to happen with food and are people going to give birth and are people going to eat and are people going to work and what is there going to be still war and no war and money and Bitcoin maybe is going to take over or maybe it's Ripple is it what's going to happen M comes ramb says you're wasting your life learning about any of these things things why you wasting your life he goes because learning about what is going to happen after mashia comes is not going to help you meaning it's not going to help either one of the things that's going to get you to survive mhia plenty of people like to talk about mashiah little do they know that if he actually came right now they would be the first to be destroyed the the is coming to help those that used to be used to be criminals used to be people that didn't you know that before they did Chua he's coming to help the people that b CH what's B CH everyone doesn't matter who your parents are if you grew up through you didn't go up from if you think you're from if you're not from it's irrelevant you did Chua you're okay you didn't do chuva you have a problem if you don't think you have to do chuva you have a worse problem many people that keep Shabbat and a few mitv and learn a little bit every day they're convinced they don't have to do chuva little do they know they may actually have to do more chuva than a secular person has to why there's a lot more expected from them there's a lot more expected from you once you know meaning the guy that thought he was a donkey his whole life thought that him and the cow were boy boyfriend and girlfriend and now he discovered oh listen the cow I just get milk from and we eat it sometimes not together though and I have to keep Shabbat and I do it on Shabbat good okay so he starts keeping Shabbat starts keeping koser it's very very basic very basic guy he just started doing Hashem is very happy with him why he's happy with them he just went from being a c to being Adam to being a human being to being a Jew being a righteous person even if he's a non-jew and he did chuva he's keeping a seven Noah laws he's starting to control his Tempo he's trying to control his bad character traits hasem is very happy with him why but he's not sadik he's just basic hasem is very happy with him why yesterday he was a cow but you you the religious one your mom and your dad and your uncle and your cousin and everyone is religious and you think that you don't have to do chuv you are in bigger trouble why a lot more is expected from you chabbat is not even your tun you've been keeping Shabbat since birth you don't know what it means not to keep Shabbat is not even part of the equation why you don't even know way to get non kosher food you don't even have an option to break kosher you're wearing it all day it's part of your life it's like people put jackets you put on these are not your what's your T you have to work on your midot meaning if you're still angry stingy Horrible midot character traits you don't fix them and you don't even think you need to fix them and you're not working on fixing them mashia comes going to look at you like oh it's another secular person that keep Shabbat it's another secular person that's keeping Shabbat you get your for Shabbat but you have to pay for the stuff that you didn't keep what do you mean kept all the mitv yeah you kept the mitv the exterior but you did it because it became your second nature you didn't do it because you had so anyone who doesn't think they have to keep they have to work on doing chuv they're in bigger trouble than a secular person why I go to secular people in the street you get through chuva in the street right now I'm telling you it's unbelievable you saw it you were right there with me she went to give me a few books went to the car to to put the stuff in the car there three young guys I don't know 15 16 17 years old young kids one of them came to the Shure after the sh we did I don't know maybe six months ago he says Hey Rabbi how are you I'm coming to another shoe over there next door and I have the you gave me six months ago he's wearing it he show me his wow I said what about your friends he had two friends with him one guy say oh you know I have a TI I'm wearing titit also but uh you know not for me good you have the other one no TI No TI No keeper start talking to the guys a few minutes this one takes some CDs he takes on himself to start learning every day the other one is coming to the sh in a little bit and the third one put on TI on a spot in the middle of the street told him you make a mitvah every second every second you make a mitvah okay take a if I didn't tell him he could live the rest of his life not wearing TI all this needed is for somebody to tell him put on that's it it wasn't a big deal wasn't KES I didn't give him any three-hour lecture five minutes we're outside you want making me every second okay 16 17 years of his life he's living in a world no one ever told him put on now somebody told him finally put on you can help people do CH every second you just got to tell them just tell them do chuva if you don't tell them do chuva they're not g to do chuva so here you have you have the generation of knowledge you guys don't mind lowering temperature melting whoever want to be a sadik and releast for a moment and lower the temperature unless you guys like to watch me cook too that's a horrible character trait again it's a there's many bad character traits depression is one we'll get to it we'll get to it so now this generation of knowledge generation of knowledge who are they tah says remember that one out of 500,000 this is them this is the one the ones that survived meaning the best of them the best of them those are the ones that got to mount saai those are the ones that were in a desert for 40 years this is the best of them the best of them when they all got to yam they all got to the Sea of reeds the malim his name is MIT came to Hashem and said hem why you going to save them and kill the Egyptians they're both Idol worshippers the Egyptians and these people meaning even the best of them the ones that survived were still Idol worshippers why why did he save them if Idol worshippers why did he save them why did he save them that's exactly what happened last week's par when they got to the Sea of reeds they started screaming and yelling because the sea won't split mosenu starts screaming to hasem help us us [Applause] says speak to them what you screaming to me he says speak to the nation of Israel and tell them to move forward what does it mean move forward what does it mean move forward he says in a few other places says something extraordinary I've said this probably 10 times in lectures and still not enough answers m and he says Moshe Moshe you're good I like you problem is your people they're Idol worshippers and then the came to me he said listen well you going to kill the Egyptians you for idol worship and not why they're also Idol worshippers and I didn't have an answer for him did not have an answer for him he says he's right he's right I can't under the law that I created called the Torah I cannot open the sea for them I can't split the sea for them why die to worshippers so what are you screaming to me for what you what else you want me to scream where else you want me to scream he says no no go move forward what move forward show me you're willing to do chuva show me you believe in me don't no more words no more words no more clothing no more superficial exterior show me show me you believe don't tell me you believe a lot of people says yes if I had a million dollars I donate a half a million I said yeah you have a thousand yes how come you don't donate 500 it's much easier to donate 500 than 500,000 much cheaper much cheaper if I had a million dollars for I donate 500,000 I don't need $500,000 $500 you have no I have uh okay $50 you have five 5 cents you have how come you donate nothing why it's all fake it's all words they say words they say show honor to me with their words with their lip service but their hearts far from me truth they have no idea what they're saying they don't believe anything hasm says to Moshe Moshe Moshe tell your people move forward show me you believe show me you believe in me don't just tell me you believe in me show me you want to do chuva show me you want to change show me something why because right now you have no more merits you had merits to get you here merits for the 10 plagues merits to destroy Egyptians merits to get everyone to get here to yam Beyond this no more merits finished finished ran out the tank is empty you need something else you need you need to move for to show something so now takes the first step and for that he merited to have the mhia come from him so this very generation unique stubborn people but still it's the best of them they arrive at Mount Si and even on the way there they complain on the way there they complain and the tah here says they didn't complain once they complain a lot of times but there's 10 specific complaints that hasem says you know what if you don't do TR I'm going to destroy you that it wasn't like a listen let's negotiate it got to such a point it got to such a point so what are these 10 tests what are these 10 tests the best of them had and why is it connected to us okay it's them so we'll answer the second question first why is this connected to us why is this m not connected to us okay they it sounds crazy to us you saw the 10 plagues you saw the water tur the blood you saw the frogs coming out you saw you saw everything all these giant Miracles you still don't believe you get the yam you still don't believe he splits the ocean 12 times you still don't believe you get to Middle few days later you run out of food he gives you food from sham you still don't believe you get to a little later you run out of water he gives you turns bit of water into Sweet Water you still don't believe you get to Mount saai he splits the seven Heavens shows you hey there's no one else here but me and you still don't believe you still test it's still and for the next 40 years to us is a crazy people what but this is aotu what does it mean aotu what does it mean aen what does it mean Aben what does it mean our ancestors what does it mean it means it's us us Amash us me you all of is reincarnated right now we're talking about us right now this mishna is about us it's not about some distant people that were crazy and strange and weird no no this is us this is like you're reading your own bio all of the bad traits all of the bad character traits all of the bad mistakes all of the things they did that you know of and you don't know of we did it not some strange people us us sitting here us am 20 million us no one's excluded if you're in this generation this is you that's why this mishna is here Mish is not for some lesson that's only relevant to certain to certain types of weak people weird people Wicked people no us that's what it's about you're reading your bio that's why we reading the mishna so now what did we do now that we know it's us we need to know what we did because that's how we find out I fix ourselves if we know what we made a mistake in and we correct it we fix our we fix our get we don't fix our you a person can live 70 80 90 years get to said thank you you for living 90 years all you did was become a blender food you ate with non-stop money you spent non-stop uh people you went through friendships non-stop relationships non everything you're a blender you just Blended everything constantly constantly purpose zero Hashem did not create you and put you into this world to be a blender your purpose is not to be a blender it doesn't say your blender next to it doesn't say it's a different purpose somebody could live 90 years in this world and just be a blender no purpose whatsoever why he doesn't read Mish he doesn't read M he doesn't realize he has to do Chua he thinks he's okay a lot of people think they're okay we have to learn right now why we're not okay what if a person is wicked in this world but he not enjoying doing he's not what just said spending money anding alled and he's an evil not does the suffering he does in this world does that does that get him a little bit so I'll answer your question then we're going to continue straight through the mishna because there's a lot of material a person like Hitler is probably not not a happy person somebody asked me the same question yesterday and somebody got an answer for that question today two different answers part A Part B good question suffering is not always suffering is not always a part of your repentance for sin now all of us as soon as we learn the termar that anytime you suffer according to the gar in a few places is it's considered it's considered as if you've a form of repentance for a sin that you've made so you suffer here instead of suffering and G but suffering is not always a someone sometimes suffering is just pure punishment sometimes suffering is just pure punishment why you deserve it simply you deserve it so now if a person live their whole life is wicked person just somebody asked me this yesterday you live your whole life Wicked person not a murderer not a thief not a wicked person by the eyes of the general population I'm talking about Wicked in the eyes of hasem wicked in the eyes of the population you don't need an answer for that you don't need me for that you don't need the Tor for that someone is a murderer you don't need it doesn't make a difference you don't obviously someone that's wicked in the eyes of the of the world he's a murderer he's a thief he's a rapist he's a Hitler obviously you know this person has only one destination after this world which is Gom but we're talking about someone that's not Wicked in the eyes of the people he's wicked in the eyes of Hashem which is really the only thing that matters so he is very nice to people he gives charity to homeless people on the Red Cross and all types of idol worship or even to B it and he is very very nice to women it's just that he has a new one every day but he's very nice to them and he's very generous with money it's just that he uses other people's money to be generous with and all types of nice things that he does but before he died he got I don't know banan he got cancer cancer or some type of other crazy disease that ate up his body in a horrible way every single day he was losing a limb every day he lost a finger every day he lost a nail every day he lost something and little by little the the the disease is eating up his body he suffered tremendously does that mean that after he dies he's goingon to go to ganeden absolutely not not he's not going to ganeden why if he died without doing chuva his suffering it's just pure punishment it's just the beginning of the punishment really why hasm was doing this punishment to try to get him to wake up the only reason he was getting this punishment was not because hasm really intended for it to be punishment Hashem intended for it for it to be a wakeup call real punishment is waiting for him after this life if he doesn't do chuva but if he doesn't do chuva then he gets already a down payment of the punishment without doing chuva there's no chance in the world of getting to gun Eden doesn't matter how many people do kadish for you doesn't matter how many people end up learning T in your sake without doing chv without you actually keeping Shabbat keeping doing and doing something about it you have no chance zero chance according to not my opinion you want sources that give you a million of them if you want there's no questions as no there's no chance anyone that tells you otherwise just changing the Torah he has do different religion according to the Tor without CH there's no G yes he suffered okay he suffered so why he suffered he deserves even more if he didn't do Chua that's the reality that's what Tor says so the point is we have to do chuva so the suffering is unfortunate but it was supposed to be like a message like a text message you get a text message in the middle of the shoe you're not supposed to pick it up after the shoe you're supposed to pick it up someone's giving you a message why is someone messaging you to get your attention if you don't answer he send you another message if you don't answer he send you another message if you don't answer he calls you if you don't call he leaves if you don't answer he leaves you a voicemail if you don't answer he calls you again if you don't answer he comes to your house if you don't answer he knocks a little harder if you don't answer he may break down the door that sometimes that person is not a person that is God he's knocking at your door hey I'm here if you still didn't wake up okay come I'll talk to you up there we have a ni one place for you that's it now this wasn't really supposed to come out but maybe maybe if he's listening maybe if he's listening maybe it'll affect him a little bit more it was a guy that came to a in New York and everyone said listen you should have a debate with this guy he used to be religious now now he's not religious but not only he's not religious he tells other people not to be religious I don't necessarily take people's words uh just like that whatever I said bring him to the sh I'll talk to him anyway in one of the shim he asked if you know he came to the sh at the end of the Shure and I asked anyone have any questions he asked the question I answered the question he was in shock that there was actually an answer for his question and I asked him if you have any more questions he didn't have any more questions so I said you know what me ask more questions like yours more questions that are supposed to contradict the tah or questions that most people don't know the answers for why because I asked those questions before I did Chua so I started showing different proofs and the crowd was very excited and very happy to hear some of these answers and some of the questions now I told him at the end I'm like listen do you still have any more question go yeah I have some questions we should talk I said listen the deal is I no problem you you can ask me as many questions as you want send me a text message with any questions that you want I'll provide you answers sometimes they're going to be verbal meaning I'll give you the answers myself sometimes I'll show you to you in a book sometimes I'll show it to you in a video but I'll provide you the answers under the condition that if I provide you all of the answers and you view them intellectually not with a bias like you're trying to find a way out real you know you're looking at it intellectually and I provide you all the answers the deal is that you publicize to the whole world that hasem is real and this Torah is real and you do Chua he says yes I say no problem good it's worth the investment for me even though I don't have any time at all already it's worth the investment to help somebody do chuva so anyway I gave him my information I actually expected to talk to him after the uh uh the tape went off uh and but he ran away anyway he contacted me later on and he asked me a couple of questions I start providing him a wealth of different sources whether it was Torah and science that I made or different scientific videos that other people made and so on and so forth a bunch of different sources of books and initially I thought that he was interested in finding out the truth so I provide him a lot of source and I spent some time getting it even though I don't have any time at all even to see my own family with the exception of Shabbat if there wasn't Shabbat I wouldn't see my own family people think that this the the two three four hours that I'm here like the all that's it that's that's a nice job they don't realize that the the easiest part is this the hard part comes after this all the personal stuff all the questions all the answers all the projects running B is a lot of work I told somebody else that was asking me about what we're doing wants to join and so on don't listen you have to understand it's a very very difficult job this is not Wall Street like I used to have Wall Street was easy next to this even though I was working long hours and in Wall Street I chose to work long hours I chose to work long hours here you don't have a choice you don't have a choice people always ask me what time do you go to sleep I say as soon as I can't stand anymore what do you mean as soon as you can't stand as soon as the body stops working soon as it stops working that's when I go to sleep that's the schedule and it's no different for M it's no different for anyone that's really a there's no schedule it's 24 hours minus a couple of hours that you pretty much can't function that's the schedule why because people from all over the world need help some with diseases some with financial issues some with questions about Al some uh for videos some for different projects there's a million and a half different things going on at every given time if you're trying to help people do chva you do not have a personal life anymore that's just a reality people think that they oh lecture sounds like a night I want to be a lecturer every day some I want to be a speaker I want to be a speaker I said Al you be a speaker Al is a thousand of you be a speaker good do a speaker a week later they quit it's not easy people think it's easy because it's easy on TV you see it on the internet looks easy why he spoke for two hours big deal big deal spoke for two hours what's the big deal not trying to get credit I'm just trying to explain to you to invest in anyone When someone tells me listen you have time can I talk to you for a half hour no I don't have time half hour I don't have a half hour if I had a half hour I'd spend it with my kids spend it with my wife I don't have a half hour unless it's an emergency it's an emergency I have a half hour most times it's not an emergency most times just people want to tell me their story so this guy I was willing to make an investment regardless how how much it cost why because I thought this could be this is somebody that's really looking for the truth but he's just really confused so I invested time providing sources and so on and so forth but right away noticed that maybe just maybe he's not looking for the truth already as soon as I provided him a couple of stories he goes yeah but somebody on the internet says it's not true what do I care what somebody somebody on the internet says everything is not true somebody in the internet says the World is Flat does that mean that he what he's saying is right like not everybody's going to agree with any one particular fact just a reality but immediately he's looking for ways out and he just wants to debate publicly and I say listen you have to review the information and I say you know what you speak as if you're an Einstein as if he knows all the science what kind of education do you have I'm one of these people that values education because it's shows what kind of dedication you have not necessarily school but what do you study how much do you study is it just YouTube videos I mean you talk like your Einstein if you're studying is consumed of just YouTube videos I'm sorry you're not a scholar no one's becoming a scholar off of YouTube you're not you could get by maybe hold a conversation or two you're not becoming a scholar of YouTube videos not in Torah not in life not in anything you have to open some books you have to lose some sleep you have to do some extra work that's it so I tell him okay what show me the last five books that you read show me guys Einstein show me the last five books that you read I'm thinking it's going to be five science books is Einstein maybe there's nii maybe there's I don't know who's going to be going to be crazy people I never heard of heard of I don't know I studied some stuff in my life I don't know what it's going to be philosophers maybe he's going to be this gonna be that what did he show me he shows me Bill NY the Science Guy by the way Bill NY is not a scientist he's a comedian he's a comedian he's not even a scientist he just got the job so he went with it this is the knowledge that has questions and doubts and on the Torah now so right I didn't tell him this CU I didn't want to insult him but at the same token I'm seeing okay obviously this guy's just confused okay not read the information I sent you review it and so on and so forth he just keeps trying to go back to the debate to the debate let's have a public debate let's have a public debate let's have a public debate no public debate just read the information if you have questions on the information then we'll talk but if all the information is provided what is the debate going to be about and then today he strikes a nerve I don't think anyone has ever struck a nerve with me like this ever in my life he struck a nerve that wasn't angry but if I could get angry if I was allowed to get angry and I could burn him through the phone I'd burn him if I was allowed to get angry and I could burn him I'd burn him but I'm not allowed to get angry so I didn't get angry but I was very very upset why why he says listen stop uh dodging it let's have a lecture let's have a debate let's have a this get the same thing again I don't care say it 5,000 times that make a difference in my life what does he say listen you have to understand I'm a very wellknown uh in my community to get people to stop keeping mitv at least five people stop keeping shab because of me at least five people stop keeping Shabbat because of me tells me do you guys understand what I just said you're asking questions that are not relevant do you understand what I just said at least five people losta because of this guy he just murdered at least five people directly and God only knows how many indirectly if they don't do chuva and what is he doing he's proud of this he's like oh if if you come here I said now I know that you're not actually looking for the truth now I know that you're just looking for a stage to spread your disgustingness and all of the things that you tell people which makes you a mean what's a mean a mean is a person that is pure evil pure evil because their only intention is to get you away from hasem their only goal in life is to get you away from theah because of something that's deficient within them they're sad they're excuse me they're angry they're depressed they're uh whatever they are and they want to bring everyone down with them this is why depression is a disease that if you don't take care of it it becomes infective to everyone around you you must work on your depressions you must work on your questions you get have to get answers you're in this world find out the answers not having answers will lead to depression having depression will lead to sin sin leads to gay how long could be permanent you must get out of it that's the answer to your question you must get out of depression you cannot get TOA in a good way if you're depressed depressed why being depressed you cannot fulfill hm's will you cannot when they say it's a mitvah to be happy they I just tell oh yeah you should be happy like the break dances in the middle of the street they're talking about you have to enjoy doing the mitvah Because it's diamonds in your hand if you don't feel like it's Diamond you're not doing it right this something went wrong in his life his wife left him and everyone doesn't like him and I don't know maybe he didn't get hugs as a kid or he had some questions that some people didn't have answers for whatever happened in his life fine I understand people have hardships I understand hardships I know atheists I know people that don't like the Torah I understand I actually have a childhood friend almost 30 years doesn't believe in God I know what it means but I don't have a problem with any of them I don't have a problem with any atheist I don't have a problem with anyone that's not religious I don't have a problem with them why they don't know M they're poor people they don't know they don't if you tell them and you get them to to know you could change you can help them change what made me so upset what made me so upset is that he is trying to infect others with his disease it's like an AIDS victim that knows he has AIDS and still wants to sleep around you got infected you have a disease fine keep it to yourself stay in a room stay in a hole dig yourself a home bury yourself in it if you want why do you have to infect everyone else what do you gain out of it what do you gain out of taking people down for what let's say you're right let's say he's not obviously let's say you're right and the Torah is not real what do you gain out of telling a guy to get away from hasem what do you possibly gain if he does mitv does it hurt your pocket if he does mitv does it hurt your life no so what do you care that he worships God what do you benefit out of it this shows why it's pure evil and it explains why my answer to him was the father following I said now that I know that you're a mean a mean is a person that's Amal Amal we're obligated to kill if we know who they are now in this regard we don't have a son if we had a son they would give him death penalty but you should know this I told him because you're a mean and you're only looking to hurt others you should know that every single day three times a day does three times a day does prayer three times a day we pray Alim what's Alim we pray for hem to kill the meim we pray for you to die I tell them three times a day now I have an image in my head when I say it and even if I had nothing to do with the rest of my life I told him I'm still not going to continue this conversation why you're evil person you're evil person you're looking for the truth no problem I'll invest in you you looking to hurt people who wants to associate with such a person is that a good enough answer well you got shocked he didn't expect that answer so now we have our Mish at hand our mishna is about us it's about us of how to protect ourselves from falling for sh like this guy that I just talked about hopefully does chuva I just don't know if it's even possible in such a case but hopefully does chuva hopefully got it so hard on his head he's so shocked that he says you know what okay maybe it's really just not worth it whatever you doesn't want to believe I don't want to believe don't believe fine but why cause other people to sin when other people told me listen he actively goes and looks for religious people and yes to get them to become not religious I didn't believe it why who knows maybe he's religious and they just don't like the guy I don't know I can't just believe people but now after he says it himself and he's proud of it he's happy about it prefer Hitler over such people because Hitler at least just wanted to kill the body this guy wants to kill Souls no different than a missionary he's no different than a Catholic or Christian Missionary no different than a no different than any only in this case this guy is actually excited about it at least the other people think that they actually have you know they're just doing a job this guy's not even getting money out of it he's just pure evil hopefully he's not and he just pretends to be because some people like to pretend like they're evil some people like to pretend they're tough and soon as soon as they get punched in the face like oh no no I'm sorry I was just kidding I was just kidding I wasn't ready I wasn't ready you know they like shaking you punched them in the face no no I wasn't I wasn't I wasn't I was joking I wasn't I didn't want to fight I was pretending to fight I wasn't really going to fight oh I was you were I wasn't pretending you were pretending oh well I wasn't pretending that's why I punched you in the face cuz I wasn't [Music] pretending that he hated the Catholic church I don't think he hated the Catholic church he hat well I mean in his book he uh hated Jews specifically but um regardless his Gom doesn't change uh he's right there with JC Penney and Muhammad and Bam and all these other bash is kafa is before G yes and no yes or no there's certain things that are worse certain things that are better foron no not necessarily a certain time a certain place let's guys you want to know details watch the g a few times you get all the details that you want I wasn't there but I'm pretty sure that according to his sins there's no reason for him to ever get out but the mishna that we have is now if another person sins another person sins that help your situation the fact that Hitler isn't Gom or this guy's gonna go to Gom if he doesn't do chuva or that other people sin before you or after you or next to you does that help your case thank you got me foot does that help you like can you say listen but everybody else was a sinner everyone else was wearing mini skirts and tank tops everyone else was driving on Shabbat everyone else was eating non kosher and and spending Sunday watching the Super Bowl instead of coming to the sh T everyone else was doing it for the so it's okay right does it help you that everybody else is a sinner the answer is no if everyone is speeding on a highway at 100 miles an hour when it's a 40 the cop arrest everyone not just somebody not just one person they arrest as many people as they can catch in sham they catch everything everyone so here when it says he's talking about us we tested AEM in 10 different ways what were these tests we'll go over the following and then get to the point of why it's even relevant to us today where do we need to do Chua first test when the Egyptians pursued am is at the Sea of reeds didn't they have graves in Egypt didn't they have gra what they ran out of graves in Egypt you had to bring us all the way here meaning they were making a sarcastic joke why' you bring us over here Moshe why'd you bring us here what they ran out of graves in Egypt meaning they lost right now they forgot about the 10 Miracles they saw in Egypt just from the plagues and countless other Miracles that they saw before and after and during they forgot that there's a pillar of fire right next to them and a cloud under them they're not noticing it next test they say they complained when they had nothing to drink but bitter Waters of mar they ran out of the equipment that they had they got to a lake and the lake was bitter said ah mhe would you come to kill us we're all going to are we're going to die from thirst our cattle's going to die everyone's going to die they forgot about the fact that hasem just split the ocean for them that if he split the ocean then obviously he's going to be able to find water for them too he's been around for a while he knows how to do things they forgot about that they forgot about the fact that there's a cloud under them on the side of them on the other side of there seven clouds surrounding them they don't even have to walk on the floor they're floating they're floating they don't even have to step on the floor they complain against they complain against again when they ran out of food food they brought the matah they brought whatever they brought they ran out of it and they said listen would you bring us to starve us they forgot that when the Egyptians were drinking blood they were drinking water meaning that if Hashem was able to turn the same water into blood and for them it was water obviously he knows that he could he could get them food and despite the fact that he brought them the Mana the next test they left the Mana over he told him just have each day what you're going to have eat what I give you don't save anything for tomorrow tomorrow I'll give you new they didn't believe said no no maybe he's not maybe I'm going to run run out maybe he's going to run out he's not going to be able to give it to me what do you mean he's going to be not going to be able to give it to you the food's coming from sh right to your door you don't have to go to the store even they complained again they kept the food and the food turned into worms and maggots they he told him listen just gather food for six days Shabbat don't gather any food because on on Friday I'll give you double portion I'll give you double portion you don't have to gather on Shabbat what do they do they went looking Shabbat anyway they complained against Moshe when their water ran out again they passed the lake whatever they took with them they ran out and they got to and they complained to M we ran out of water what you gonna try to kill us what do you mean you complained a week ago I got you got you what the last week if you got you water last week and the week before and the week before and the week before for a year and a half now he's already giving you water why is he doing it just to kill you today just to kill you today I mean does that even make sense and then after all of this and Hashem opens the heavens and he opens the seven Skies the seven heavens and he shows them there's nothing else but him he talks to them and they hear and see his voice they see The Sounds they see the words that he's saying they see the sounds that he's making meaning when the chaar horn is made there are sound there are images of the sound being inscribed in the sky when hasem says the first commandment theat page 88b says all of am Isel dies why the Holiness of his voice was too much for them to handle he brings them back it's not that he fell he broke his leg he puts a little uh thing on it and now it doesn't hurt as much it's not that he even makes the miracle of making a crippled guy walk the guy died died not just him him his wife his kids his cousins his neighbors the guys he knew the guys he didn't know the all everyone die millions and millions of people massive amount of people all die at the same time so it's not like anyone is like oh did you die did you die no everyone died and Hashem brings them all back to life they all felt they all felt the pain of death and they all felt felt the pleasure of life in moments and then it happen again at the second commandment again they hear the voice of hem too much for their to handle the leaves their body they all die again says they all died again and he brings the back again and they say to you go talk to him we will do and then we'll hear whatever he says we'll do and then we'll understand why we'll ask questions we'll have a sh on Tuesday and Wednesday and Sunday and Thursday and this and middle we'll do all that but just go talk to him you you go find out and then come tell us give us a lecture about it why because if he continues talking we're all going to die again we don't want the pain of death again no painful it is to Die the when they got to their their last days petrified every single one of them petrified people think no he just went to sleep he just went to sleep says the person needs to understand the death unless you're a sadik is very painful it's very painful said if your only reward if your only reward was to have no punishment that's it no GED no GED just your only reward for being aad was just not to go to G was just not to be punished not to have any pain that's the only reward you get you live a whole life you go to at six o'clock in the morning and then and then and you do and andash and then you learn all day and all night and you don't uh enjoy this world and you do a lot of and and all you're the greatest person on Earth he says and your only reward your only reward is don't suffer after this life ends he says for that alone it's worth it forget all and pleasure and all the pleasure in the world is great and but this world the next World can't compare and forget just not the suffer says just not to suffer it's worth it worth to beem loves us so much he says not only you're not going to suffer but I'll even give you a reward how we give word you can't even count it so now feels the pain of death they don't want to feel it again they tell mosu you go talk to him mhe brings them the Torah but unfortunately by the time he comes down they have forgotten a year worth of miracles in Egypt they forgotten the pillar of fire that was behind them they forgot the clouds they were standing on the clouds that were on top of them the clouds that were next to them protecting them they forgot that mount siai was on top of them just moments ago where hasem was threatening to kill all of them if they don't accept the to they forgot the miracle of how he turned the water into from something bitter to Something Sweet we're not talking about a cup now we're talking about a sea an ocean they forgot food coming from sh and the says how did it taste the man how it taste it says it tasted however way they want it how they want it what if I want chocolate and then seconds later I wanted steak and then seconds later I wanted candy and seconds I'm chewing it this whole time I'm chewing it I'm chewing it and I want candy I have candy I'm chewing same chew same bite and now I want cotton candy cotton candy next one I want steak steak cheeseburger cheeseburger it's kosher it's mine whatever you want during the bite during the bite whatever flavor you want it had all the flavors in the world and the best part about it that many of you are not going to appreciate because you don't know the pain that I've endured in my life none of it required them to go to the bathroom for how long 40 years 40 years did not go to the bathroom why the Mana was so holy that it was consumed entirely by their blood meaning everything turned into blood everything turned into blood nothing had to be wasted to leave the body you eat food a lot of it goes out why because only a small portion of it actual nutrients turn into blood the rest of it needs to leave the body the Mana was the perfect food so now they get this Mana they get Miracles they see God's voice and what do we see here we see theu I Shalom comes down only to see his people praying to a golden calf how how could it be how could it be how could it be you saw you did how L momentarily the next test number eight they rebelled against God's Commandments not just everything we've heard but even more so they complained that the Mana was not good what do you mean not good it tastes the way you want it if you're if you're imagining steak it's steak if you're imagining ice cream it's ice cream they said no this is bad bread what bad you're imagining bad bread that's why it's bad bread imagine something good and then the last test is they sent the SP spies they sent the spies to is the land of milk and honey that hasem has promised them and their forefathers Abraham is and yov our forefathers and the spies say yo this land eats his people this land eats his people and they believed them even though it was a lie the question is we have two very difficult questions number one how is it possible for them to be called D meaning the generation of knowledge but yet be so stupid to make such horrible sins against AEM no less than 10 times it was much more than 10 times but these 10 were the most significant I'm is second question question what's have to do with us no not true not true they have no l not the nation of Israel nation of Israel is us no but the generation of the desert of the Wilderness is us to me and you to people watching to people not watching tell me SL the religious and the not religious so questions we have big questions we have two big questions we have big questions we have big questions we have big questions why these questions are critical these questions change everything if you know the answers to these questions you could do Chua if you don't know the answers to these questions you could live 70 80 90 100 years as a blender grinding water doing nothing with your mitv in hand the second question is as I said is that what does it have to do with us we already answered that we answered it that this generation this 10 issues is us meaning what they did we are doing same way different way directly or indirectly we're repeating the same thing B the end of Bak we see that they went with not only modesty they went with non-jews too and hasem almost destroyed the entire people for that that's one of the tests it's one of the tests test number nine some yes some no point is is that we have a we have an issue here we have a generation that saw the words of God in the in the heavens so let's start answering the questions let's start answering questions what's a n what's a miracle someone tells me what if this generation saw the Miracles where they you know they didn't do chuva but maybe we're different maybe forem open up the Heavens right now with the Merit of this year all of us do Chua all OFA watches on online they do chuva they witness it everybody does chuva because of a miracle this first thing that we learned from this generation is that miracles do not get people to do CH why no generation ever did before them or after them see as many miracles as them yet they tested hem 10 times 10 times they tested what's the proof that Miracles don't help people do Chua the simple proof is that we don't know what Miracles are we think Miracles are flying sources or something we think that if let's say for example I start levitating and start giving a shoe while I'm in the air you'll think it's a miracle you'll say a Miracles if you make this table float in the middle of the air that's a miracle changes wrong it's not when Hashem changes nature yes it's change of nature but that's not the definition of a miracle what's a miracle everything the fact that you're alive is a miracle the fact that you can see with two balloons as eyes is a miracle the fact that you can actually have a sense called smell is is a miracle the fact that you have a tongue that can taste every single type of taste simultaneously is a miracle the fact that you could hear sounds even if you're not next to what you're listening to is a miracle the fact that you could hear me see me live even if you're at the end of the world right now is a miracle the problem is we think that things that are abnormal to us are Miracles but in reality Miracles are in front of us on a second by second basis when you say if you make a table fly that's a miracle I'm going to respond to you what about a plane isn't that a little bigger than a table that's that's a miracle it's flying but you don't consider it a miracle why because you have rationalized it with science you said no it's because of the uh Wings many things have wings they don't fly no but it's because of the engines many things have engines they don't fly nobody could it's because of physics that's why that's how you rationalize it because of physics because of wings because of oil and gas and all these different you've rationalized it and have literally become a k by thinking it's not a miracle to see a giant building flying in the air you think that you wake waking up in the morning and being able to speak is a given when in a reality it's a miracle why the cow is bigger than you and it doesn't speak the gorilla has a bigger brain than you doesn't speak the elephant eats better than you doesn't speak you speak you can write you can read no it's normal it's a given I studied I studied the fact that you actually have a job somebody's want to hire you tolerate you and pay you for it too you think it's a given why I'm skilled I'm very good at my job who said you're good at your job my customers my customers said the fact that you have customers is a miracle but everyone thinks no this is a given why you work hard you you get paid plenty plenty of people work much harder than you and don't make a penny plenty of people work much harder than you go to the mountains go to the places where they have volcanoes see what those people that actually work in the volcano areas how they are they get paid to test the gas at the volcano to test the danger they get paid a dollar a day but their life is on the line every second they have to CL a mountain when was the last time any of you climbed a mountain would you climb your bed they work hard but they get a dollar a day they get a dollar a day you get 5,000 you're complaining God how come you only give me 5,000 a month if you give me 10,000 I'll givea the guy making 300 bucks a week gives morea than some people I got a kid kid M kid 18yearold kid he makes $300 a week he donates 20% now you think oh wow he donates 20% wow he donates 60 80 bucks or something like that a week $80 a week wow wow it's good for him no no no you don't understand you're not understanding what I'm saying here you're not understanding what I'm saying here the young boy 18 19 year old kid sadik he donates $80 a week that means it's $300 a month $320 a month you're not understanding rabai that 300 $20 a month is more money than most of the other donors that make 10,000 a month 20,000 a month 50,000 a month a million a month and not just for I'm talking about in the world you have people making five 10 20,000 a month they give you a hundred bucks every three months they think they're tadim why what's the difference same answer same answer we'll get to the answer we'll get to the answer we'll get to the answer is giving us a little bit of a hint what the answer is the starts with heard okay heard a lot of people heard stuff you guys have been hearing sh for two three years here a lot of people hear stuff so what lot of people hear things how many people heard the whole world heard everyone in the world heard when Mount Si happened it wasn't just exclusive to when Mount saai happened the entire planet heard so why did say heard a lot of people heard later on in the Book of Joshua we also hear ra says we heard so we know from here everyone heard so why does the start what it should say the whole world heard why is he th heard and he did I heard what did for is I'm how you do I'm giving up everything he was the pope he was a multi-millionaire he's a zillionaire all the respect in the world all the money in the world everything you can possibly imagine he had to give it up on the spot no listen a retirement plan maybe a 401k uh maybe maybe a disability maybe an insurance policy maybe you guys give me a little bit of a uh you know a uh you know a golden parachute that's what we call in Corporate America golden parachute you leave a company after you ruin the whole thing you get $15 million golden parachute some people $200 million when I was working on Wall Street that's the main thing that we all laughed about CEOs ruin the company they fire them and give them $250 million to leave you ruin the company we're going to give you $250 million to leave to leave just get out $250 million to leave nothing zero everything's left why heard what did he hear he heard what hasem did for he heard something Supernatural happened the slave became the master the master became the slave this is Supernatural this is not normal this is a miracle there's a miracle I don't have to see it I heard about it it's finished enough I don't have to see it I heard God of Israel is the greatest that's enough for me Hashem says that's enough for you I'm going to make the whole for you if that's just to hear my words not even to see you heard about me and you acted got a whole after him became a gotes became A's children got toes became the most significant convert in history of his time and perhaps ever in history why that was enough that was enough now Hashem likes to give us presence if we just do if we're be simple with hem you don't need a million and a half proofs you heard you do says you know what maybe people are not going to understand for Generations what it means what you did so I'm going to make sure that they are using your wisdom for the rest of their lives Jews and non-jews how how you going to do that how you GNA do that how you going to do it I'm going to give you an idea that's not exactly such a Noble Prize if you will but you're going to be the first one to have it and anyone that uses it will have to say it had the first idea what is it legal system the legal system the same legal system that even the Noah heid are obligated to follow came up with saw judging the people he told them you can't judge the people this way it's bad for you it's bad for them you have to make a legal system higher Court Lower Court middle court so on and so forth big cases small cases and so on and so forth this wasn't exactly such a genius idea I mean technically Moshe probably would have been able to you know figure it out on his own no he thr had it why I want everyone to know you get special gifts when you just and he gives mosu this idea that today the World follows a legal system a supreme court a civil court and so on all this start in now when it's time to pick the judges when it's time to pick the people to run these courts it gives us a secret it all gives us the answer it gives us the answer to these tests it gives us the answer to a lot of things or at least one of the clues he says to says to M sayu you have to put certain people in power what kind of people what kind of people should I put said you should put men of accomplishment what M didn't know who's going to put the losers where's he going to put all the homeless people all the guys that are drug addicts who's he going to put what's here men of accomplishment put God-fearing people what do you want to put atheists of course God fearing people says men of Truth what do you want put Liars a corrupt legal system what's the point then and then he says men who despise money who what does one thing have to do with the other why do they have to hate money for what does one thing have to do with the other men of accomplishment he's not just talking about people that have positions that have stature but also people that have achieved significant spiritually connection to Hashem achievement to such an extent that they got to the level of having learning t for 20 years but you still don't have you're learning the wrong T if your focus is to do everything but learn about you're learning something crooked you want to be a man of accomplish achieve but the only way that you're going to get to have and only way you're going to get to have God-fearing people is if you are a man of Truth you cannot have and lie at the same time you cannot be a liar and have at the same time it's not possible if you're a liar you have no why because all liars think the same same thing no one's watching I'm the only one that knows I'm the only one that's smart everyone else is a fool people that liar naturally think that everyone is a fool and no one is watching including AEM so when you have by definition you have to be a man of truth but now now he says something that doesn't fit men of accomplishment in t says fits God-fearing people fits men of Truth fits this is like three pieces to a puzzle the one thing that doesn't fit is people that hate money what does it have to do with anything shouldn't accept say they they don't accept bribes that doesn't mean they hate money just means they're honest it could fit with the truth it could fit with men of Truth why why do we have something so against material why is this a requirement for a judge how does it fit it's the fourth piece to the puzzle salary no salary you got to live you got to eat you got to eat we'll get to the answer we'll get to the answer Stein Shalom was an but not just an he was also a teacher he taught to he learned to one time the is he was at learning and teaching ran out of money run out of money for how long nine months nine months he goes to work every day he learns all day he teaches all night now even when he's gets paid it's not exactly uh a lot of money it's, 1500 shekels 400 bucks but still you live you survive him and his wife Tamar now instead of getting the measly 1500 we get zero how long nine months nine months for nine months whatever they had is gone they have to survive so for Shabbat we have to eat so the r she says you know can afford meat can't afford chicken can't afford chint can't afford these things we have to eat so Shabbat we're going to have we're going to have eggplant piece of tiny small piece of eggplant and a piece of bread to replace the meat meal and then the next morning Shabbat afternoon we're going to have also piece of eggplant and bread for what to replace the soda in the afternoon after you come back from and then to replace the CH to replace the to replace to whatever you're going to eat there another piece of guess what eggplant and a piece of bread K how long nine months after nine months the finally gets the money raises some money and he comes to the Stein Shalom and he says he gives him a big check for nine months worth of salary he hasn't paid them Steinman says look at the check no no sorry this is yours it's not mine no no no I didn't pay you for nine months I didn't pay you for nine months he says listen I don't learn or teach t for money I don't learn and teach or teach t for money I do it because hasem commanded me to do it I only take the money because I have to live I need to eat drink and so on so the fact that I haven't gotten the money but yet I'm still alive nine months later only means I didn't need the money look I'm alive so if I didn't need the money obviously I wasn't entitled to it either so this money is not mine just like us just like us identical where are we and where is he says if I didn't get the if I'm still alive without getting the money that means the money didn't belong to me it's not my money so at least okay take this month's check at least he gives the check to the raban the raban finally we got money first time in almost a year she Shabbat coming up she wants to celebrate what we're going to get some chicken we get some meat finally finally we haven't eaten meat in a year almost on Friday he sees she made soup with chicken doesn't say anything it's then after he sees after the soup with the chicken he sees a piece of meat in uh some type of Stew she made after they finish eating he says didn't say anything the next day he sees this children with meat he say where did you get all this she says no we had some money so we bought to celebrate he says were you suffering he tells the raban were you suffering the last nine months that we're just eating eggplant and bread she says no not at all was it bad for you did you not enjoy it or anything goes no no no it's fine so let's just go back to that let's just go back to that if we survived on this that means it's only thing we need this gives us the down payment definition of what it means to be a hater of money not that you hate money where you think that you're going to get M from sh we're not talking about that we're talking about somebody that's that's happy with a share regardless of what a share is and hates anything that doesn't belong to him unfortunately many of us look at everything that doesn't belong to us we look at his car and his house and her uh this and her that and his account and his stock and his company and his salary and her salary and her shoes and her sweater and this bag wow can you believe it she's going around with a $3,000 bag W can you believe it he has a brand new car he just had a brand new car last year W can you believe it a husband bought her a car too why can you believe it that they have a bigger house W can you believe it they're extending their house we're constantly looking that other people share which causes us to have a cancer inside CU we're eating ourselves constantly because we don't have what they have but in reality if you don't have it that means it's not for you it's not good for you to look at his watch and his car and his house and his this and his that is cancer it's cancer another amazing story about that gives you a perspective of someone that'sa a lot of people like to talk abouta there's Thea this and Thea that and you should just have AA and you should just believe and you believe and believe and believe well let's just see reala there was a certain a that had 17 kids what was his salary same 1500 shekels a month of course to make ends meet with 17 kids donations come in from different places but still every month that you survive is a miracle but now when the kids are little certain amount of money is required when they get older more money is required why you have to Wed your kids and there certain Customs whether it's for ashkanazi or Safari that you have to come up with some money to get the kids married so this a had to Wed one of his kids his daughter she found aan andan came from a religious family also so but the father was a businessman businessman with some money no shortage of money but the custom was that the kala and her family have to in order for the wedding to happen they have to get an apartment they have to buy them an apartment the apartment has to come from the collapse family from what 1,500 shekels a month where you going to get an apartment from so anyways the families meet the the like each other they want to get married but now the families meet the second line of negotiation which is craziness but nonetheless in today's world that's that's such as life and the father of the uh of the of the of thean says listen if you want my son to marry your daughter you have to get an apartment he says listen I'm you realize you're the businessman I'm the he says it's your problem you want my son you have to get an apartment that's the that's the custom I'm holding to it some people say is like Al even though it's not necessarily so true they say if Shabbat was everybody keep Shabbat but because they don't keep it so the says you know what let's go to my we'll go to do 90 years old KES Kim as a Side Story Side Story a lot of people knew that rinaman didn't have a sense of smell he lost his sense of smell now he wasn't born without a sense of smell he had a sense of smell but one day he lost it many don't know how he lost it so one time his wife told a story his wife Tamal said that one day the rav he was walking wherever he was walking and he smelled some unusual smell and only moments later he realized that the smell is coming from an incense from a church incense they were making some incense in the church and he smelled the incense not on purpose it was in a street smell the incense of as soon as he realized that he enjoyed for a second indirectly unintentionally the smell of aod he started crying to Hashem hysterically praying to him to take and remove his sense of smell to remove his sense of smell the next day Hashem answered his prayers his sense of smell was gone for the rest of his lifeim gave a k about the story he says you know r the Steinman never prayed to lose anything else he never prayed to lose his eyesight he never prayed to lose his hands he never prayed to lose his his arms his feet his anything else why because everything else then never sinned even unintentionally that's a is kados that's a is kados so now this R Steinman obviously sadik everything good they come to him with 17 kids and 1500 shekels and the businessman and say for who has to pay for the apartment Steinman says yes you're right the that makes 1500 shekels a month he has to pay 75% of the apartment and the businessman with a lot of money only 25% now all of you are asking wait hold on maybe the mistake supposed to be the opposite no no it's not a mistake this is what he said and was dumbfounded he said I'll do what you say I'll do what you say I'll do it no problem no problem be accept theem completely whether you understand don't understand have no problem but like teach me how does this make any sense how I'm making you know how much I make for we make, 1500 shekels a month it's a miracle we're surviving 17 kids is another miracle to survive with the 17 kids another miracle to get an apartment I can't get an apartment now how he says Steinman says something that if you understand what it means changes your life he says listen you are Ben Tor you learn Tor that means nature nature is not relevant to you natural course of events are not connected to you why you Ben T the world exists for you you fulfill the will of hem you learn Tor you fulfill his will you're one of the Learners nature and the normal course of events are not relevant to you he says he he's a mkin he say a poor guy he depends on nature he works all day and he depends on his own will on his own power on his own efforts so we need to help him out we need to only let him only pay 25% because how much could he possibly do with his own powers this was enough for the to say Okay I accept it doesn't make any sense to us right now but the a himself told the story he says over the next two days for whatever reason or another miraculously people just came up to him strangely no one knew the story no one heard the Judgment no one witnessed nothing it was him the businessman people started coming up to this and just gave him money he said in 48 hours he raised money to pay for the apartment is a life a life that you live and survive is B this is like you can't take AEM enough but when you learn Torah to such an extent nature doesn't apply to you anymore now we have a generation that knew a lot of Torah why they received all of it they received all the Torah directly from the source but yet we see them complaining against theem complaining complaining complaining and testing Hashem what was the problem of the time when I'm is cross the Sea of reeds hasem showed them Miracles that even the prophetes did not see is that even the babies inside the bellies of their mothers were singing the song crossing the ocean the babies were singing the babies were seeing everything the heavens were being opened I mean the Miracles that you read in the midashim are unbelievable but yet as soon as we cross the ocean went where they saw all the gold coming off of The Chariot of the Egyptians and they ran to the gold says they forgot about God and they went to the gold said oh thank you for the Miracles Heavens wow amazing good job it's gold over here I'll be right back it's gold over hem you know what wow Heaven's unbelievable you did a good job over that but I got I got the gold over here I got the gold over here I'll be right back I'll be back in a few hours look how much gold is it over here Hashem gave the man hem gave the man am says you know what Hashem this is great thank you it's just I need something new I need something new what do you mean new taste imagine something new it'll be new no no I need something else different texture okay imagine different texture it'll be different texture no I need something with different new and different this and different that and different this you send m m get the Tora ah he's not back maybe we need something new why are you constantly looking for something new why do you need something new all the time thear says there's never been a man that dies with even half of his desires you give him a 100 he wants 200 you give him 200 he want wants 400 you give him 400 he wants 800 and he will never die with even half of what he actually wants when a person does not know how to control his character trait his Mida of his lust his desires is consumption he can never be connected to Hashem completely why because even if Hashem makes a miracle right in front of him he's always going to look for something more it's never going to be enough it's never going to be enough you give him a miracle that's it what do you mean what else do you want but that's it that's all it was that's it what the okay so you open the heaven seven seven Heavens great but that's it what do you mean what else do you want at least give us some bread okay you have bread okay at least give us some uh this some of that but it'll never be enough it'll never be enough why you don't know how to control yourself you're constantly looking at the other guy and when the other guy has something you're looking at someone else when the other guy has something you look at someone else and someone else and someone else and eventually when you run out of people next to you you start imagining someone else you're competing against someone imaginary they even invented a term for it you're competing against the Joneses the Joneses don't exist but we're competing against them this is the secret that was trying to tell us you want to be is you want to be a man of accomplishment you want to really show your you have to hate money what does it mean hate money be happy with your share don't look at the other grass being Greener and don't ever question what you got and don't be cheap with what you have because you think it's going to end the says that hos says someone that ate today but is wondering where is my food going to come from tomorrow is someone that has zero amuna why you ate today what are you worried about tomorrow if hasem gave you food today obviously they'll give you food tomorrow why are you so worried about tomorrow people plan for their retirement and their vacations and their Bar Mitzvah and their weddings and the grandkids weddings and they haven't even gotten married yet but they're worried about the grandkids getting married and them having an IRA account and a 4K account and who knows if you're going to survive that long who says you're going to live to 70 years old to get the benefits from this retirement account people save so much money they don't even know how to enjoy the dayto day you tell the guy listen you realize that there's millions of Jews that don't know if God is real millions of Jews how many millions somewhere in a neighborhood of 67% 67% of am does not know for sure if God is real we're not talking about the world of 8 billion people are talking about the nation of holy people the nation of God doesn't know if God is real and you happen to have a tool that could help them help them identify who God really is I helped them identify a purpose but you're like no I'm saving for my retirement I'm saving for my next house you have a house why do you need another house for no it needs to be bigger why you have a bigger family no I only have me and my wife and and a dog so what do you need eight rooms for what do you need four rooms for for what why do you have four cars with only two drivers how much jewelry do you possibly need no one knows you're wearing anything else anyway no one pays attention and if they are it's anyway it's not good for you when you're so connected to material you get to a point that you live a life and you miss the whole point you miss the whole point of living you miss the whole point of what your purpose is in this world to such an extent that you start believing you're the one that's making the money you're the one that's sustaining yourself you're the one that's creating Miracles and you are control of your own destination all of those are wrong the only thing that you have in your hands is whether you fear a or not meaning how much how much are you going to learn how much are you going to do in accordance to what he says how much you're going to believe in him how much you're going to fear Him how much effort you're going to extend on certain things a certain Ben went to and he asked him I'm you know I learn all day and it's good I love it but it's time for me to find a I need to find a wife you know so maybe I should go to the Work World maybe I should go into I don't know to certain this certain this different things to find a wife you're obligate to find a wife he says you learned to he says yeah learned to all day all day okay so you can allow yourself if you learned to all day you learn all day not your ban you sit at home playing uh video games you learn tomorrow day yes you really learn yes you're not smoking cigarettes outside all day learn to learn T you're not just playing with your phone to see what uh what videos came out no no learn to learn if you learn T all day you can allow yourself 30 seconds per day to go find a wife the rest of the time you go learn to what do you mean 30 second what do you 30 seconds you just go like this you finish 30 seconds to say the story took more than 30 seconds what do you mean 30 seconds say yes you could allow yourself 30 seconds what's the problem what's the question teach us what does he mean he says listen if you're learning Torah that means you know God if you know God that means you know that he does everything anyway he's doing everything nothing is in your hands not your wife not the kids that you don't have not the parents not the nothing nothing is in your hands if you learn to and you know everything is in hasm s the only obligation you have is to show that you have some effort to make it look natural so there 30 seconds is enough go Lear the wife will arrive the wife will arrive the wife will arrive you don't need to go toan you don't need to go to anywhere the wife will AR if you learn to if all day you're standing in front of a wall and do nothing different story you're depending on nature you have to do more but if you learn Tor nature is not relevant to you it's not relevant to you you could allow yourself 30 seconds a day 30 seconds a day so now another sh story is Shalom somebody came to him person religious ban had a uh child had a daughter that stopped growing at two years old stopped growing at two years old nothing they went to doctors they went to this they went to that no one could do anything the girl continued growing up in age but not in size eventually at 16 years old she still looks like a baby that's two years old no cures no nothing his wife for years have been trying to convince him to go to thead the go to him it's 16 years old he sees his daughter is suffering he sees a family suffering he gives in when he gets to the house of rabz is not there is is not there so he just enters the house and he puts the daughter he put his 16-year-old two two-year-old daughter on a bed it's like a baby a little later walks in and he sees everyone knows you're not allowed to go into the rabbi's bed he sees this baby looking kid laying on his bed and he yells get off the bed and for the first time in her life this little girl that's really 16 years old actually is able to get up otherwise she can't get up she gets up she stands on the bed she gets off the bed and then she falls immediately the guy sees okay is not your normal local Rabbi fine he starts crying to the ra I'm sorry I should have come sooner what can we do what could I do my daughter she's really 16 she's this she's that what could I do what could I do no worry stop worrying the same God that said a few words and created the world can heal your daughter no problem wow who what how oh bring bring over here brings the daughter he puts his hand his left hand specifically says in the story left hand for a reason put his left hand over the girl doesn't touch the girl over the girl and he just as if you go on the cup he just raises his hand a little higher a little higher and every time he goes a little higher the girl grows eventually he tells the stop stop she's going to be too big already she can't fit to the door she grew up in moments to be fully grown this is not 2,000 years ago so now the guy is shocked obviously he's scared to death he has no idea what just happened he wants to leave okay okay come on come on no no no no no come on come on she's talking she's speaking she's a full grown woman 16 years old he doesn't know what to do with himself what just happened here hold on a second hasem also wants it to have a Hashem wants it to have a so just remember in a couple of months don't be aan don't be uh don't give up on anything listen in a couple of months someone's going to come to you it's going be okay for okay fine whatever you say you say no how how could it be since you believe the story good you don't believe it's your problem people say no mystical it's crazy it's supernatural it can't happen so you don't want to believe don't believe it's your problem when you learn T it's very easy to believe such things why you understand what hasem can do there's no limitations when you have limitations that means you're because you're limiting God how could it be that could do such a thing it's not it's a but why does the one that actually exercise this this huge power why because he became a replica became a replica of a seph Tora but to get to such a point you cannot just do it just by learning it requires serious and the one thing that steinerman would constantly do he would constantly compare everything to G such as one time they gave him daisa is what oatmeal like oatmeal daisa daisa is like oatmeal yeah so one time they gave him daisa they gave him oatmeal but it was really hot they get the point oatmeal daa whichever one they taste the same I think OH Close anyway they gave him food and it was really really hot oh g a g g it's just hot food for the no it's G this is G this is G it's a reminder it's a reminder to me okay you burn your tongue a little bit oh it's a reminder to me everything those house G this everything's G there a be half a strict as him what are you talking about I could be a quarter of him 5% of him 1% of him everything is G everything is everybody thinks oh it's some old man just sitting there no you don't get to that that level just being some local lovey doy Care Bear you don't get there you don't get there why cuz you know God is real when the same that did this miracle when he was when he was later on somebody that saw what happened the gabai saw what happened the students had a problem believing it the students come did that not the miracle miracle they know no it's no problem what was the problem what they have a that it happened why we don't believe that would be would allow himself to get so close to a woman okay she looks like she's two years old but how could he put his hand on top of her no come on will never do that the gab says no no this is why I said it's the left hand what's the difference left hand right hand left hand right hand one 2 three what's happened what's what what's the difference one two three What's happen what's left hand right hand what's the difference ah left hand is another story what's the other story years before saw his I believe it was his sister playing with a baby baby oneyear old baby two-year-old baby she's playing and the baby you know the baby little babies they're cute they like to play how do they play they don't play tic tac toe they don't play fine words what do they play they play with their hands they hit you they they play with stuff they take stuff they pull your hair they pull your nose they play with your ears they just they're physical it's all they have so he saw a little baby hitting his mom but playing hitting he tells his sister no don't let the baby hit you don't let the baby hit you say it's a baby don't let the baby hit you goes for you a baby also why you also did it he thought for a second he he started recollecting his whole entire life he went back to when he was 1 years old and he remembered that one time his left hand hit his mom when they were playing immediately he got the fear of God in him he took the hand and put it into the fire and burned his hand to nothing burned his hand lost all nerves why this hand must suffer for hitting my mom when I was one years old don't try this at home this is not you while look look I'll show it to you I'll show it to you a few a few of the other things after the point is I don't want to change this train of thought the point is is that didn't get to a point of being person that can make Miracles as a vehicle of God just because he learned some uh some books like I asked this guy this K how many books you read and what's the last five books he shows me his entire collection of books how much is entire collection of books six books entire collection of books he decided God is not real based on six books one of them is Bill n Science Guy a comedian that's how he based his his knowledge on a comedian's comedian's interpretation when you're ish kados you have to understand God runs the world but had the Torah many people have the Torah in front of them many people have the Torah in their hands it's never been easier to learn Torah never been easier in previous generations if you taught Torah they'd kill you they'd literally kill you page 17 it says a story about would teach Tor in public when during the times when the Roman Empire decided that anyone that teaches going to kill him but not kill him in a nice way shoot him in a head or something no or hang him no no kill him in the most unusual death there is went in public now he didn't hide he didn't go into a room he didn't go to BN he went in the middle of the street I have a come no no emails no WhatsApp no nothing 500 people show up listen starts teaching T yeah but the Romans are right there they're going to watch they're going to kill you that's not my problem what means that your problem Hashem said I have to teach Tor I teach tah what's the problem what's the question what's the question I have to teach teach so R would teach daily his Rabbi risma bisma he hears about this he comes to RAB and he says is it true that you're teaching Torah in public beia haven't you heard that the evil Roman Empire have a decree to kill anyone that teaches to and we know that this Cree is being allowed in sh why because they're fulfilling it they're killing the they're destroying the bet mikdash we're seeing that hasm has a decree against right now so it's not just a bunch of that hate Jews we're seeing that hem is allowing their actions to come into into action and you're still teaching says will have mercy says to him what do you mean will have mercy I'm saying to you I'm telling you things of wisdom what's happening in sh what's happening over here and all you say to me is I'll be surprised if they don't burn you with the in your hands what do you think was cursing him Shalom this is about to happen any day now they're going to take they're going to burn him with the and that's exactly what happened they took they took the they rolled it around them they put a sponge in between him and the seph to allow him to live longer while he's being burned so he can suffer more but why am I telling this story it's not why am I telling you this story I'm telling you the story because after told that he's gonna die didn't say oh oh I'm gonna stop I swear I'm gonna stop let me let me let me I'm sorry I'm not going to teach T anymore what did he do he says do I have or not what do you mean do you have you're KES you're teaching Tor at the time that everyone else is scared to speak you don't have you're worried abouta you think would say of course you have you're KES no he doesn't say that what did he say says tell me some of the things you did tell me some of the things you did tell tell me some of your actions tell me some things you did what it's not enough that he built coals all over the country it's not enough that he built everywhere it's not enough that he's teaching in the middle of the street it's not enough that he hases it's not enough that he's a t it's not enough that he can speak to God and God answered that's not enough no he says tell me some of your some of the things you did says well there was one time that I got the donation money pouring money and it got mixed with my money my money got mixed with the donation money and I didn't know I wasn't sure which one was which so I just gave all the money to the an I gave all the money to the poor people says like to have such a share like you wish that I have a share like you in what do you mean the thees the what happened what do that's it you just okay you saved some money you gave some donation that's it that's it yes here we learn a critical Liston from the what's the lesson what's the lesson with all the Tora that he learned with all the Tora that he taught with all the Tora that he tried to spread to the worldi said to him all of that maybe you're doing it for yourself you have some benefit out of it Torah at the end of the day it's very interesting you get a joy out of it the the you teaching they give you Cav they give you a salary maybe you're doing it for the money maybe you're doing it for the cavod you know how many rabbis don't believe a word of Tora te I know one guy that's a principal here in Florida he's a principal of a school is a if he believes in God he's a principal of a school if he believes in God I know for sure he said in a I saw with my own eyes I didn't hear I saw in my own eyes he says there's no such thing as Miracles I told you about this maybe a week or two ago he says there's no such thing in Miracles the yam the the Sea of Reed it's split because of a tsunami the Sea of Reed split because of a tsunami that's what he said I saw this my own eyes it's not I'm not uh it's not here say I saw my own eyes saw his mouth say it now the point is is that all the Tora that he was teaching say maybe you get a benefit out of it get money get cavod honor people like you people think you're smart who knows you have a you have a bias you have a side Arrangement if something you benefit out of it but if you're son you hate money meaning you're happy what you have and you're scared to even touch something that doesn't belong to you you you're connected to hem you know who runs the world you know who said a few words and the world was created from it you know the truth you Al to have a share in the world to come like you Al this is what was the missing piece people ask all the time what's my what's my what's my what's my someone came to the same we spoke about and said a few stories he said this generation that you're in what's the for the generation he says T of that generation he says if everyone wears mashia would come why he says everyone does so many MIT every second we're going to get the G unfortunately we didn't succeed unfortunately we didn't succeed years later students of students of students of his continued it got Steinman and they asked R Steinman what is the ton of this generation what is the T of this generation we know from I mean TI that's it no no T of is not for us anymore you have to wearit regardless but that's not the tun of the generation what's the we need Mas to come the says you have to have reala inem what's realuna realuna starts with your pocket realuna starts with your business realuna starts with where your eyes look if it's your neighbor's bank account or just what you have is it an Hashem is creating it or you think you're making it reala starts in your pocket if you have a tough time giving M you have NOA if you have a tough time not being jealous you have NOA if you are complaining to Hashem because you don't think he's giving you enough you have no not literally zero it's just not enough you have to work on it you have to fix your tun you have to get to a point of being hate money not hate it like you are going to live on the street like a bumes we have to be like kings and queens but there's a way to be a king and queen not a show off not the guy that's making a show on TV to show everybody your house not to get enough stores in your house like it looks like a sandwich not to waste money on nonsense when there's plenty of people don't have enough food for Shabbat Hashem gave you a talent you must use it and we'll finish it with this someone came to this very same sadik this very same sadik I told you a story about that I'm not telling you the name the same one that I told you that I told him someone is sick he said no problem the next day they were healed that one I said you got to help me out I mean there's so many speakers in the world they speak different things is really good speakers what should I say what should I do to maybe encourage them to say the truth he says this to me he doesn't say many words but he just says this he says listen Hashem is going to talk to every single person at some point after 120 or after 20 whichever it is so talk to every person face to face when I get up to shamay and he talks to them he's say listen I gave you a talent to speak I gave you a talent to speak and all you decided to do is tell people nice stories did anyone do chuva did anyone get closer to me did anyone do anything other than give you honor give give you respect and give you money then what's the point of me giving you this Talent what's the point you used what I gave you against me a certain woman came to the ra and she said the I can't handle it my uh husband is trying to teach Tora he gets people to do chuva and so on but uh he's gone all the time I want a husband I want to do it I want to do K I want to go teach I want to be out I don't want to be home all the time he says it's too bad says what do you mean it's too bad says it's too bad you're going to be a widow soon she what do you mean Widow no no no I'm just I'm not gonna kill him I'm just saying I just wantan to I I wantan to I don't want him to go be a speaker go get a regular job 9 to5 and that's it be a regular husband he says yes it's too bad you're going to be a widow what do you mean I'm going to be a widow he says hasem gave him a talent he's using it without it he has no purpose without the talent he has no purpose if he has no purpose he'll just take him away and you'll be a widow sometime Hashem gives you a talent he gives you a talent to make money he gives you a talent to say things he gives you a talent to learn he gives you a talent to do different things if you don't use that talent to honor hasem you have no purpose so Hashem is merciful and he gives you more time more time to use that talent for his purpose another year another decade another two decades but eventually the time runs out and eventually you're going to have to meet him and you're going have to talk to him and you say why didn't you use the talent that I gave you you the big bank account the great speech the great eyes the great ears the great hand whatever he gave you why didn't you use it to sanctify my name why you didn't have a that I could provide for you with it you didn't have AA that I could I could do good for you through this Talent you had to steal you had to cheat you had to do things that were wrong then you're no different than the that made mistake after mistake after mistake because despite the amount of Miracles that I showed them they still found a reason to not believe in me why they always wanted something that didn't belong to them they always wanted something that belonged to somebody else they were never happy with what I gave them it's time that we realize the most important thing you need to work on is to be happy with your own share and the reason why is because once you're happy with whatever it is that God gave gave you if he gave you long hair great if he gave you good eyes great if he gave you neither great gave you money great he didn't give you great give your husband great give your wife great give your kids great he didn't great whatever he give you great why that's what you need if you needed more he'd give you more if you need more he give you more and the last story for the night to give us a little of understanding of how hasem never fails in giving us exactly what we need never fails never ever fails you need it he'll give it to you you need it he'll give it to you you want it it's a different story he may or may not but it's better to ask for things that we need instead of the things that we want because sometimes the things we want are bad for us Shalom his grandfather he sayses wases this person huge huge huge sadik but in those days they were able to become but still work work full-time manual labor his job was he would work with slime with the big boulders like the the ones they have in the beach huge Boulders they would take them and they would cut them make things into them and he says my grandfather told me a story that he said changed his life even though he was a ish kados and he learned and he did and he this he says one thing changed his entire perspective on life why what he says one day he went to one of the you know they took the Boulder and they cut the Boulder now this Boulder is huge I mean it's tons upon tons who knows how much these things weigh tons they don't weigh them by like single digits they weigh them by the hundreds and thousands huge giant things now there's no like they're not like holy rocks they're very uh closed there's no holes in them usually anyway they cut the thing in half this huge giant boulder the of probably half this three of these four of these tables to cut the thing in half and he sees in the middle after they cut it in half there's a hole there's like a pocket like a little hole a pocket and inside it there's a worm swimming in water he says that changed my life why he says however the worm got there the point is that Hashem even gave the worm inside the boulder that doesn't even have holes he gave the worm food in the middle of the Boulder so why don't you think he's going to give you food why don't you think he's going to give you a husband or wife or children or all the things that you need the Wormy gave why not you maybe it's because you're not doing his will maybe it's because you're not using what he gave you already for his sake maybe just maybe it's time for us to start checking what we have and say maybe we're actually getting a lot more than what we deserve [Music] [Applause]
