so welcome to practical spirituality
herination turn on the old city of
jerusalem overlooking the western wall
today we're discussing how to live in a
realm where you things are happening
miraculous leave for you there is two
worlds that our sages talk about they
talk about a world of nature and they
talk about a world of wonder they're
both referring to our world because you
can live in this physical environment
either in a natural realm or in a
wondrous realm you actually can create
wonder in the physical realm and live
that wondrous experience what does it
mean the world of wonder what the world
of wonder means is that you don't have
to worry so much about the physical
obstacles in your way you can just watch
God iron them out for you as you move
forward as opposed to the world of
nature where you do have to worry about
those obstacles and work your way
through them and and you know most
people most people aren't working their
way through the obstacles of life doing
their best use the words like try and
try my best
we've all talking about that you know
but that won't trying language those are
all the people who live in the world of
nature now if you have the choice to
live in the world of nature the world of
wonder which one would you go for No
yeah which one I'm asking all you guys
that's just cute not just changed what
world do you want to live in nature
wonder which one well you want to live
in the world of nature you want you're
always gonna be in the physical world
I'm asking you I don't live in a world
where one where you have to fight
through the obstacles of life or in a
world where God irons them out for you
which one yeah so yeah I mean I can't
imagine there's anyone who would go for
the
or a little nature when they could go
for the mother wonder world of wonders
the Lions gonna lay down with the land
well the nature is your lands gonna eat
you so so obviously the world of wonder
is the place that everyone would want to
live so why doesn't everyone live there
so you can have a few answers one
answers and maybe they don't know how to
lift it it wouldn't know how to do that
ok there another one is they don't know
it exists they were raised by parents
who said life is art yeah and may and
they grow up with those kind of parents
and so they just thought life was hard
and so if it's there must be obstacles
out there the obstacles gee he was right
life is hard you know maybe that's why
or I got another answer that's possible
yeah got another answer white people
I got another answer which is probably
the answer of four fifths of the people
in this room if not five fifths of the
people command and fight this on you so
either four fifths of you or five
festival the reason why you'll still
live in the world of nature even after
this class rather than the world of
wonder is because that if you want to
live in that world of wonder you have to
sacrifice you got a sacrifice and what
you got a sacrifice is not just the ego
would be nice some of the Cinque one
Jainism mention ego so we got a
sacrifice is your life it's worse than
me go know what I mean you gotta
sacrifice your life and the answer is I
mean if sacrificing life means you got a
dime for it then what I really mean is
you gotta sacrifice a me death and what
is that many deaths many deaths are
every time you fail or get rejected
anytime you have to deal with people
rejecting you that's a mini death why
cuz it just kills the guy that's so
painful when people reject you it's just
so painful you all know what I'm talking
about
it's it's worse than failure it is
horribly scary rejection is like you
know and they even say that they that
the number one fear over even death the
deaths really the first one but so the
number one fear is not death is public
speaking because what would they think
what are they gonna say you put yourself
on the line of fire and now you can have
a serious rejection going on so the
better just to shut up
rather than risk the burn of rejection
ridicule of lack of acceptance right got
that so so in order for you to get be in
order if you to get the the world of
wonder there's certain things you got to
do for and one of those is you got to
break through the fear of death which is
really ego death
- that's rejection a veteran you're
gonna have to bump up against rejection
and failure a lot of times in the
process of it now you might be saying
well gee grab I didn't you just say God
was gonna iron out the obstacles yeah
you can't you can't get to the if you
can't get your obstacles without with
that without you know think about it I
mean let's say okay okay grab me hope
does say God's gonna hear rid of my
obstacles well yeah but you still got to
get up an ad know what's gonna stop you
well what if it doesn't work whatever it
is you choose to do what if people don't
receive it well what if I get ridiculed
in the process you understand so you
gotta be willing to sacrifice yourself
in the process
and all I was trying to say is the
reason why you most likely won't live in
the world of wonder after I explained
how to live there is because you're just
afraid to get going because you don't
want get ridiculed you don't get you
don't want to get you don't wanna fail
in the end and what's the price for
success by the way its price for success
whatever you think about successful
people in the world did many times well
that lets you know something that the
price for success is you're gonna fail
many times as I like to say it
most people taste failure once and spit
it out successful people chew on the fat
of failure you want to everyone try to
chew on the fat of fat one two three
[Music]
together one two three he's chewing on
some failure platter over there and by
the way the fat of failure excretes
things into survival and when you digest
it it teaches its fullness it tells you
exactly what you shouldn't repeat
meeting move in that direction you were
doing good but something you didn't
around there wasn't a working you know
path so you're gonna have to adjust that
which may be quite high on the path of
success but right there don't go back
there go there it's these are pointers
failures pointer you which way to go
from wherever you've learned to get to
till now the I just wanna for some
reason I decided to talk about obstacles
today so but I'm gonna talk about hadn't
even the world wonder another reason why
you might not live in the world of
wonder it is just comes down to
rejection Felger gonna step you do my
hat I mean eventually you're gonna have
to take a risk
where you're like you're kind of burning
your bridge back you know like the like
the spanish the spanish conqueror who
landed on some land and I think the
Americas and maybe South America is in
my was it and he realized that there's
no way they will we
the European soldiers will lose this
they're all going to die
McKinley once he saw the situation on
the ground he said we're gonna crush it
yeah we're not gonna do that we're gonna
make so he had them burn the ships and
so they all watch the ships burn and
they all looked at their meters and
what's this all about and he said he
says if you ever want to see your family
there's only one way out of here
you're either win and we'll build new
ships and leave or you will never see
your families again you're never going
there's no retreating from here and they
want because it was no way back
and so it's all so similar then often
when you live the world of wonder you
have to be willing to plate being like
that and I have this all the time with
that with participants in the possibly
use seminar I get like okay when I do in
New York's almost everyone's business
and then they can afford in Israel less
business myth and they can always afford
it but when I tell all of them whether
they're in New York are there in Israel
as I say you focus on the what let God
worry about how you focus on what the
God worry about how what does that mean
that you just stay focused on the what
which is you'd like to be participating
in the Scimitar which 8qu and let God
worry about how you get it done so I
just graduated last week twenty three
men four of whom had no money and I
asked him on the last day in front of
everybody that one knew we had no money
I just got well it was easy to I just
asked is anyone willing to admit they
came in here with no money and four of
them raised their hand
I knew him they weren't they didn't have
to raise it yeah is letting them stay in
the rooms but they all four raise their
hands and we're all like brothers if you
have no cares of it you're like
predicted of him we know each other like
our own smell after five days of
together you know it's twenty five hours
in five minutes five hours a day so I
asked all four I said thank you are you
paid up and the answer was yes all
former pana
to the cylinder each one with their own
crazy story ask an elderly Jerusalem
myth desk Adel New Jerusalem a man might
have 10 12 14 16 kids but an elderly one
asked him Tommy did you marry off all 14
kids he'll say - yes not only did I
marry them off but I bought each one of
them a house meeting he went in with
some other father and through various
miraculous wonderful wonderous ways yeah
all 14 kids are married and all 14 kids
have owned their homes because I bought
them and now you're looking at a man who
review went there on a Friday before
Shabbos
and you took a cab to his house and
you're figuring out other guys 14 kids
and meet you forgot your cap Mike
so you're like the guy has 14 kids I'll
just go upstairs to his house and ask
him for 25 shekels to pay for the cab
I'll pay him back after Shabbos that's
very likely that there's not 25 shekels
in his house including before their
weddings and after their weddings and
during their liaison and no no that's
not just one old man in Jerusalem that's
every old man in Jersey it's also every
old man in Bnei Brak don't you try it
don't take my word for it find an older
is language there's plenty of the Kotel
to find an old Jerusalem item and ask
him how many weddings did you make you
can ask them another thing did you have
net have an extra $100,000 lying around
that year and this is this this is a
home word there may not be 25 shekels
going in the shelves week after week
after week and the answer's no they
didn't have another hope they didn't
have an extra $100,000 lying around for
14 kids ask them if they bought homes
answers yes every old manual me without
no exceptions it's your exceptions I'm
part of a new generation where you like
some do buy the homes summed up yeah I
got hoodwinked to my first kid that's it
no more homes after that like I learned
my lesson it's still paying it off not
sure exactly that but I'm not in charge
of how I'm in charge of what now I
probably would have got a lot quicker if
I didn't feel widly because I don't
think I'm a hundred percent in so I
still gotta work on that that aspect
whereas these other people represented
so the question is the question is
what's going on here what are these old
Jerusalemites have that you need and the
answer is this well there's I'm gonna
give you a few answers but one of them
is that they only focus on what not on
the how but what is the one in their
case well you tell me if you have ten
kids let's say eight kids six kids can
you do the American thing for like you
know the people have a 1.2 kid and you
were seeing the point to kid if you have
a 1.2 kid you likely can afford it with
double income families you can afford
that kid the problem is is that you can
afford that kid to be 38 years old
there's a long hair plain crazy network
to internationally networked video games
stoned out of his mind not cannabis with
no more pigmented skin because he
doesn't come out anymore sitting
upstairs in his baby blue room that
you've built for him when he was five
can you do that if you have eight kids
no no that's not gonna be happening so
what happens instead is you need an exit
plan just like a startup you startup you
exit you go public maybe you sell it
you marry them off but you have come in
with an inch and with this startup it's
called the young family and you must
have an exit plan when you have that
many kids because you just not gonna be
able to afford to keep them around the
whole time and it's not gonna be very
good for them now if you're one of those
kids in one of those big families you
really lucked out you know why because
if your parents now have to marry you
off when they're probably going to do so
pretty young you know they're not gonna
let you grow up too old in that DAWs
because again we can afford you and so
your parents are going to primary off
pretty young but here's the thing now
you're getting married off as opposed to
marrying yourself off well let's take
some random example here of someone
who's ever tried to marry themselves off
here I don't here ever try to marry
themselves off Jessie J marry yourself
off how'd that go 14 months and how old
were you when you finally figured it out
told you when you got married oh okay
now I didn't mean to like strike gold on
the very first person much but maybe you
did get married um so this is a classic
example of marrying yourself up okay
when you marry yourself something you
earn a totally different realm of
potential success you're definitely
gonna lose the age of marriage which is
obviously traditionally much younger
than 40 and the age of marriage is
usually around the time of of what is
called one sexual prime which is going
to be for boys starting at 18 and that's
probably going to be the best time to
get married because otherwise you're
just gonna create a lot of problems for
you and others for you and other people
soon-to-be wives yeah it's just not a
very nice thing to do to someone's wife
even though she's not married yet why
would you treat her any different she
will be married so 18 is a good year for
boys to be married now of course today's
18 year olds could never be married so
forget that but I'm just saying that
that would have been good now
traditionally if you go to all the
Aboriginal
the world in the places that haven't
been touched by Western ISM you will
still find that people get married boys
get married between 14 and 60 and girls
get married between 12 and 14 it's very
interesting that Westerners have laws
against the actual traditions of all
communities in the world that haven't
been touched by the West the men of what
they're a man of 18 years old
neither his mother's permission of man
of 20 needed this mission from their
parents to marry interesting and yet the
18 year old bride did not be nervous
yeah it's very interesting how they did
all this this is into yours now by the
way I'm not saying it's bad that Western
people you know move the marriage age up
because again this it's not a the kind
of system that values you know progeny
in any way but the bottom line is is
that is that 12 to 14 apparently is
perfect when you leave them alone you
leave civilizations alone 12 to 14 is
perfect for the girls 49 to 16 is
perfect for the boys now you may say how
could a twelve-year-old ever be ready to
get married and the answers by watching
her sister get married when she was six
me-tv sorry not the sister says the
sister was 12 and you're a six year old
little girl going to your sister's
wedding well guess what happens when
you're 11 what's what happens when
you're 11 we start getting ready
emotionally you start getting ready
you're preparing yourself you don't even
need to prepare yourself something's
shifts inside of you understand and then
that's how a 12 year old ranked and by
the way she's not ready she'll be ready
but then she's 13 where's your brother
Thursday 14 and that's why I was 12 to
14 because it's just a matter of time
till she's ready because she watched and
if she's the firstborn daughter plus she
watched her cousins they're married
between 12 and 14 she watched her
neighbors get married 12 14 she watched
her sister hurt she watched her friends
she went to her friend's
older sister's wedding at 12 and she
loves that girl because
spends all her time in their house every
day and she's not married at 12 and so
so it's very interesting I and I don't
know the history giving why the West
took that right away now what do you
think the Jews did all these centuries
what do you think the Jews did for
millennia 12 to 14 for the girls and 14
to 16 for the boys what do you think you
bet you exactly what the ages work with
boys as well
now the Talmud actually the Mishnah
actually gives us a cut-off for a minute
there maybe it's even the ideal time but
the Mishnah seems to say that 18 is
perfect ferment 18 is perfect for men it
doesn't mention women as far as what's
perfect but but it does say Sherman
ostilow by 18 to the hobo but Jewish
history proves that it was much earlier
so I imagine a teammate's that's like
you don't want to go beyond 18 or maybe
the mission is really saying that's the
perfect age I think it's saying that's
the perfect it is 18 they also can marry
earlier you know and and also the there
was also you could the list of Ages in
Judaism are really more set up for the
human psyche that's what I think white
shows a to cuz think about humans psyche
of anyone between birth and 3 he's like
you're talking you don't need to be
accountable for anything because you
can't remember what you did yesterday so
if you cooked your cheese toast in your
father's VHS machine on Monday it does
it's not worth punishing them very badly
because even with any punishment you
give him that might seem like a great
idea on Tuesday you can't hold a
two-year-old accountable they're just
like wild animals in tents you'll see in
Judaism no keepa notes it says that's
the cosmic dental floss we were no
citizens and no and no haircutting you
let their hair grow because he don't
turn him into some civilized being we
all want to make
civilize don't civilize them till he's
got cognition of a sense of self that
needs to be civilized it's not time for
us
socializing him right now it is time for
him to just be high because he is why
why would you make him something he's
not let him being that's that's
something a really big principle that
many people don't discuss in Judaism is
age-specific appropriate behavior
age-specific appropriate behavior and
that is that till three your wild let
him be wild don't turn him into
something he is not let the hair grow on
that kid
this comes three three comes to keep out
pays Citiz for three old boys why
because once you're three not everyone
in three but certainly by three three
and a half or four but that year is the
year where you get your first sample of
there's a me like as a cognitive entity
entity there's a me a cognitive entity
with a sense of self and I exist come
for a soundbite come for somebody just
here five minutes we just got to uh
calacas so Riku so now he's wearing a
kippah meeting you're responsible to
something above you guys got past
because you know there's need no
explanation and now he's got senses
which represent since this represent do
the right thing that's what's it's is
sorry since these are do the right thing
now you can't tell two-year-old you can
tell what to do told to do the right
thing but it's like you know don't hold
your breath for that he's - it's crazy
wild animal later comes the age of five
and five says the Mishnah that they need
to learn the fish why because it's just
not a time where you're you're like very
intellectual so huh that kid with told
me the actual written text talked along
with the written text lots of it
yeah give them a lot of that written
text
that's three to five you're gonna have
to teach them the outfit and that's what
we do we teach them all a bit thank you
for helpful bit and then five columns
the Commish and you'd give a lot of that
a lot of that on your mother Lucia yeah
now he's gone eight years straight just
learning the written Torah eight years
straight means he knows it backwards and
forwards backwards and forwards you know
there isn't our backwards and forwards
you don't know none of that stuff cuz
you're raised to the city I see them
don't keep the mission well guess what
nor the boom in fact for this party no
one does not know why don't they do that
it's beyond this discussion however I
was the crazy father who said my
firstborn must go according to the
Mishnah and I sent him to one of those
Michigan schools one of those schools
that keeps the Mishnah and says fill
them with Terra when you want to know
something now there were I don't know
how many years later but if my 22 year
old son is that my Shabbos table he's at
the Shabbos table and I'm quoting
something from the Torah and I'd like to
know where it says that and I remember
about two words but hear you but I want
to hear the whole sentence I refer to my
22 year old and I always look at him
with wonder saying like you know all of
Torah by heart and and he's just like
that's what you did the minister dissent
me to one of these weird schools but I
mean how awesome would that be the rest
your life evidence cyclope 'dick memory
of the oh the actual interface between
God and creation like how cool would
that be to have that at your disposal at
all times like a Google search my idea
of the Torah at all times so I gave that
gift to my first son I gotta tell you it
wasn't easy so I gave that up for the
rest of my students to the resume son
they know jack and my oldest son knows
all of tonight yeah and and by the way
it has affected the rest of their
understanding because later it says I'm
permission and is trying to learn the
oral law and then it says a
oh sorry 13 the mitzvos what is it say
some remind me the mission is you
fertilize what was it was it miss to say
about me no Bar Mitzvahs commissioners
or did anyone know that Michele the
girls at that lady knows you went to
send if you have to memorize up here
gals didn't memorize it my keys my girls
grew up you have no choice you have to
memorize all of your calvess for the
national exam not they not the not like
a special requirement this is like to
take a national exam you can hand me a
sitter okay don't worry about but let's
get what I thought always ten me we're
all guessing away yes yeah I don't think
we went to my kids school no three let's
let's go - lets go - Bar Mitzvahs so
here's an amazing thing is that at 13
years old and girls at 12 you're not
responsible for all of the commandments
you got to do all this stuff why because
that is the age where you go from girl
to woman that's it we go from boy to man
meaty it's a rite of passage it's a
shift now every tribal community on this
planet including our tribes have a
massive rite of passage messer
understand what write a passages who
knows that term like for example if
you're a Native American in India there
was one tribe that puts you in a hole
you had to be putting a hole in your Bar
Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah you go you're
putting a pig you get to know yourself
down there for a few months you know
they send you a little raw deer meat or
someone sarong you know cuz there's
something normal
a little water here and there yeah you
get to know yourself in that pit and
then when they raise you out of the pit
if you weren't already dead from snakes
and scorpions you know there were no
significance perfect it's a different
story but if you were not killed in the
pit or died in the pit or whatever you
came out a man or a woman now it was
only about a happier layer you're now
thirteen and a half but the Society of
tribes throughout history do not
tolerate children over the age of
puberty over the age of Bar Mitzvah they
don't tolerate children there it's not
good for the society to not draw a line
in the sand that there's no more being a
kid after those ages she's very
interested because Judaism has the same
thing unless you're raised Modern
Orthodox or conservative or reformed
reconstructionists are unaffiliated if
you are raised in the black attitude
community there is a major line in the
sand drawn for you and you are no longer
tolerated as a kid kid stuffs no longer
tolerated Jerusalem is a little more
extreme man because no more bikes which
is rough very rough at least European
communities ride bikes you'll see old
men with beards riding bikes in London
and Jerusalem you'll never see after
certain age no since they have these
electric bikes people are loosening up a
bit but it's okay it's starting to
loosen up a bit because it's just hard
to keep them off those things but but
the a but forget the bike thing you're
put in this long coat your 13 year old
you're like a you're like a little model
caricature of a rabbit you're a
miniature rep in a long hope yeah black
hat with a layer of glue around the rim
foot on the head and expected everything
you're trained three times a day you're
studying for all day almost without
brain
it's no such thing is ADHD least in our
community fry as in America but we don't
have that here because there was a
special education that they do special
it it's a special type of education that
they do here in Jerusalem and you can
tell me where did you grow up so you'll
tell me if they did that were you grow
so I went to visit my same son you know
my older son who knows there so I went
to visit him in I had to bring his Sam
you forgot his sandwich so I went to the
you know he was he was like three years
old I went to he was learning all of it
so I went to the Heder men and I bring
his sandwich and there's no one in the
classroom so I start looking around and
I find them out in the playground planks
okay Craven okay put the sandwich back
in the classroom on a spot and anyway
this happens several times in the first
you know the first couple months every
time no matter what time I got them
they're on recess so after the fourth
time I went to the Rebbe you know the
the teacher and I said to the teacher I
said every time I come you're on what do
you do kid here you know
I'll came at home maybe I'll learn
something cuz this kids like can really
sit and learn extreme levels of
concentration so I'm like what are you
doing
he says he's three years old these are
three year olds what do you expect from
a three year old and like I guess you're
right let him play
that was it come back to next year and I
notice then ten percent less time late
come back the next year twenty percent
listen what is the secret to education
traditionally throughout our centuries
of Jewish education you treat every
single kid as if he's ADHD every single
kid ADHD and you slowly draw them in at
first it's lots of recess less class
time less recess more question less
recess more question let's recess more
lesson is that gonna be hard on a kid
like my who didn't need any of that
recess yes but we're gonna sacrifice him
not the entire community of normal kids
we're not sacrificing the normal kids
for the ones who make us teachers feel
good when someone doesn't understand one
of my lessons I do not blame the kid
that's my fault
I missed something not the kid you got
that I'm an educator he's not an
educator he's a kid if he missed
something that's not his fault that's my
fault
or it's my education systems and lo and
behold here is my kid by the time they
were near Bar Mitzvah age they have
almost no recess and 100% of the kids in
their class and all the other classes
around a bad age drought all of
Jerusalem are sitting and learning
full-time full-time there is no such
thing as ADHD if you treat kids the way
the Torah teaches us and how does the
Torah teach us to raise kids the Torah
teaches us to raise kids as they are
don't put a keep on a kid who's too
don't even cut his hair when he's 13
give him a rite of passage
when he's little don't put him in a
classroom all day don't try to make him
in don't try to create him in your image
he's created in God's image and God
knows how he should be and that is wild
and slowly tamed yes
we're gonna sacrifice the kids who could
concentrate my kid was that kid little
bored out there and he played with
everyone else
he went up bullying kids I think you
know maybe he was too bored so I just
fair I'll start picking on you nobody he
had nothing to do out there sometimes he
stayed in it and studied during recess
but we sacrificed them not normal people
here's you and hear the craziest part of
this whole story and then we'll end with
that
check this out so so what sports mine um
for anyone here know me and all they
don't know me at all
sorry okay sir maybe very good nicer if
I start this week what is sir
oh my gosh tomorrow I'm supposed to
circle again I keep an eye on I keep on
in the surf report you know when it's
gonna get big and so it was big earlier
this week it's gonna be a big tomorrow

waves it's gonna be about 15 feet on
Sunday but the winds are gonna be all
wrong then we'll get any surface and the
longer we have to wait till Tuesday to
paddle out when the storm ends is a big
storm coming so anyway by the way I'm
going in how it's gonna affect us I just
know it's gonna affect the way so it
could be a windstorm without rent but
knowing Jerusalem now check this out
so I'm known for surfing what's my other
sport yeah what kind of biking mountain
bike some like kids for adult sport not
at all this is we're gonna go play in
the dirt and don't don't aren't looking
to play in the dirt okay we're gonna go
play in the dirt what's my favorite
thing to drink oh yeah
craft beer yeah very good and it's late
at night where do I prefer to be where
do I like to be late at night we started
it with the broken blood vessels on my
forehead all the push pins the Schmidt's
on the sauna suit last night those guys
like broke the blood fumbling for bed in
this myth you know those Spicer I trade
that same son of mine to be an elite
mountain biker didn't make sense to
teach him serving because we're in
Jerusalem he just wouldn't get enough
time in the water you have to get a kid
in the water every day if you want to
teach you to surf mountain biking's much
more you know easy to learn but I
trained him as an elite mountain biker
when he was 11 years old the people in
the country said that he was the number
one mountain biker in the state of
and why did they say that why do they
need to say that just look at the
results of the competitions in the
answer is the reason they said that is
because the competitions are on Shabbat
and my kid would rather die than write
him out Mike on Shabbat
and so the whole they could do is watch
videos so whenever I was riding with top
pros cuz I write on the professional
level when I ride with the pros and I'd
show them the videos of my son
you know when I sing videos I'm saying
he's flying higher than the ceiling and
longer than this classroom at 11 years
old with the bike sideways cuz he missed
the jump now what you watch if you watch
at YouTube and you know red Red Bull
videos you then jump off and you you
there's ways you deal with that but you
watch my son with a bike Rd gone
sideways me just bikes higher than he is
he's upside down and going for full
crash and burn the kids somehow pulls
his bike he's like an instinctual animal
on this mountain bike pulls the bike
back under him and Lanza's it if nothing
happened at videos of this and it's
since he's little and they all said like
we're so glad he's shomer Shabbos
because otherwise he would be the number
one mountain bike in the country but
instead he's you know studying all day
but when I take him out riding this is
the kind of rider he became no next part
of the story
my son's now for 13 14 15 and when he
was about 15 years old
maybe he was already 16 years old now
he's got like you know the $7000 bike
and all the body armor in the latest
helmets and the everything you know a
kid like that you give him the top
equipment you're not messing around with
that kid and then so he has top
equipment I had top equipment it's a lot
of investment for him to have this
equipment but I always kept them in good
equipment and I keep saying hear from me
I'm going riding
wanna come second
I can't come today hey everybody I'm
going right when I come mmm I'm not
feeling like it here probably I'm going
right you want to come a little short on
sleep right now I don't think I have the
motor skills because we're doing you
know really advanced downhill riding I
don't think I'll have the motor skills
right now over and over and over you
know I get after about it like three
months I finally go here rummy it's been
like three months every single time you
give me another excuse why you're not
going right what is going on at which
point my son of Hermes looks at me and
he says daddy daddy you never grew up
you missed your right of passage
he knows terms like reddit Pascal's my
son yeah you missed your rite of passage
because Westerners aisa united states of
a sub of the EU the European Union of
the a sub they don't want you to have a
right of passage
they like the buying habits of kids but
as wealthy adults they like kids and
toys adults should have lots of toys I
don't know exactly what they're thinking
but no rite of passage in the West daddy
you never had your way message but yeah
anyway when I was 14 you locked me in
this long coat you put me in that glue
it on a hat and you sent me to study
Torah 14 hours a day every single day
until Shabbat we're not allowed to any
way to do any of those kinds of kid
things I grew up you did
you want to hear something so sweet
he and I have been connecting lately a
lot then I was on my way mountain biking
and he said he's coming I don't have a
bike for really anymore I put him on his
brother's back it was also like he loves
riding with me but it's just to be with
me it's a real people person he just
wants a time with that might his younger
brother the 16 year old bit but I rummy
gets on all the gear of a 16 year old
brother all the body armor gets on my 16
year olds bike which is also an old bike
and rides with me guess what he's just
as good as the when he was a little kid
he's just as good I mean not set foot on
these trails these trails have heard not
for the faint of heart when Rocky
Mountain Jews from Denver come to visit
me they're just always like oh my god
the skills of Israeli mountain bikers
like way beyond but you deal with in the
rock in the Rockies again we don't have
groomed trails by the National Service
no neck gaiter service you know making
our trails smooth as a you know a little
baby they're not like that so so you
either learn to be incredibly good at
technical skills here or you don't enjoy
the ride so that's way goes now the most
important factor of all of this is you
marry off your children you you marry
the muck and what's the beauty of being
married off by your parents you know the
beauty is is that if they got to marry
off your the merchandize tummy sit if
you were selling merchandise and people
gonna come look at it obviously because
they're not gonna buy it without saying
it would you take good care of that
merchandise
of course you
we're gonna take very good care of that
merchandise if your responsibility is to
marry your children off our
responsibility that Westerners throw out
if you're gonna take responsibility for
your children and marry those kids off
you take good care and it's nice to be a
kid in that fit because you know
someone's watching out for you know
you're gonna be treated in a way that
that your purity is gonna be my highest
highest value so that you're someone
whose marriage able so if I have two son
and laws do you know what you call son
in laws and Yiddish the word is a diem a
damn you know what a diem means 8 a.m.
and what's word aid a witness or
testifier someone who testifies 8 a.m.
our testimonies why would the word for
son-in-law in our community beat
testimonies the answer is that kid is
testimony that boy that married your
daughter is testimony that you took care
of your daughter
you did not throw her to the wolves but
you took her from your home and you
introduced her to a new home where she
could build her and the boy you took for
her is a witness to that he is a
testimony to the fact that you took care
of your truth trying to marry yourself
office Westerners do you see is I mean
though the facts are on the ground it's
an abject failure and you see how the
age is just the second Westerners like
for example my grandmother was not an
observant lady but they married her off
when she was 16 because if we're talking
about the 1930s she was married up when
she was 16 because that's the way things
went but the next generation had to
already marry themselves as my father
got married at 30
it went from 16 to 30 it's not because
he's a boy it's because
that was the generation that stopped
taking responsibility for their children
meaning their children's marriages it
just bumped up like ten years like like
that anyway then we all be blessed to be
our age I don't know if I can ever
become an adult and I'm not sure I
should because I missed it and I
dismissed it so I bless myself to be
safe when I'm doing my sports to make to
make mature decisions in those various
situations I seem to put myself in daily
but unless you make good choices may you
if you also mr. Ryder passage while
cement good choices and that but let us
all be committed to raise our children
in such a way that that they are yeah
everything's age-appropriate they're not
playing tennis six hours a day at forty
five years old okay and or golf and even
though I started this class on a totally
different subject we ended on this
subject but I'll tell you all that that
if you want to really get everything
that I shared just focus on what it is
you want God we'll worry about the hell
we learned from the spy ten spies said
how can we do this and it came back with
long list of reasons when the Jews can't
confidently individual Joshua and Khalif
two other leaders went to Israel they
came back and just said we can do this
and the reason why is because they were
focused only on what the others were
focused on health Carl even yoshua and
Joshua were so focused on what they
didn't even answer the detailed list of
the spies the ten spies Eretz Doha
Monique great place nice place that's
what their answer was it's a nice place
what about it is
all the tightness all the what about
answering all the complaints of the
tribes we don't get involved in details
we're focused on what so in your life my
friends worried about what my god
worried about hell you do that business
feel that relationships and do that and
daily schedule you do that at work do
that people you do business with you
always just think 100 percent focused on
what you like God way back and then you
will get nervous
