Shalom and welcome to practical spirituality today we're going to discuss what is going on with all these people who are learning Tura uh and not making a living being this like massive weight on the um on both private individuals because the observant Community today sees it as their duty to support these things obviously not everyone agrees with it and they don't give that much but there's plenty of people who do and give a lot there's uh and it falls on the on the government you know either it falls on the US government for those doing this in the US England everyone's on this system and uh Israel also there's a lot of government money that's going for the those who are learning uh Torah fulltime and stuff like that so so the first thing to know is that it does go against our sages goes against our sages all the way up to the ROM bomb and how go against Sages oh it goes against sages in that um for example in pavos it says that anyone whose Torah doesn't come with work then the Torah in the end will be like nothing and it several times it mentioned it and throughout everyone worked all the sages worked they were Sho makers they were this they were they were R Papa Was a beer salesman he's my favorite yeah he sold beer and in the paic world most most most people work yeah World lot of good got a lot of workers in theic world but one sec let me just develop it and then we'll see so what happened was there was something called the hcal and the hcal is called the enlightenment movement in English and what happened then it was right after the Industrial Revolution where mankind people in Europe mankind Wasn't Man people in Europe beca like developed like mechanization which became like the modernization and suddenly you know people weren't toiling the way they used to with all that mechanization um it began also the Scientific Revolution all of a sudden people started understanding much more about the world and Science and stuff and don't forget that Jews find Jews see science as the proof of the efficacy of God Gentiles saw God as whatever you couldn't answer in science so if you start answering it in science then there's no God eventually CU what is God God's whatever you don't understand for Gentiles to us meaning so the more science the Gentiles understand the less God there is because God is what you use for whatever you don't understand whereas the Jews we always saw science as just showing how incredibly efficient and per perfect God is and how perfect his creation goes I mean we we have a blessing over the sun because every 27 years it winds up in the exact same spot that it was during the six days of creation on literally we know the where it was and and it's going to return there every 27th year and we have a special blessing which I'm sure is it's got to be coming soon it's got to be the next year or two uh six six seven years I remember when I was around eight years old eight years old I'm so excited for it cuz cuz last time was such a disappointment oh my gosh way I was the wrong place I was with a bunch of nervous neighbors of mine here and they were all like and instead of us doing it together and like making something beautiful out of it every was just like oh there's the you know and it like like I wound up leading like a minion of of old women you know because they were all like kind of following the men out and everyone got together to do it it's probably beautiful right it was a right right it should be an unforgettable moment for me it was me and everyone else was a total disappointment what's supposed to happen supposed to happen when place you just make a blessing like the moon goes back to its place every month we make a blessing huh what is it just the Sun comes back to its original position from the beginning of creation like we make we we bless we do Kish we do sanctify the Sun by the way that's that's a proof that the sun revolves around the earth as opposed to the Earth revolving around the Sun is it are do you also believe there's a flat Earth as well you're not that far no spoke about that explain it according to relativity uh I I'm I'm um one second I just want to say about the enlightenment so the enlightenment came and what happened was Europe got out from under the thumb of the church Europe left the pressure and and uh and coercion of Christian Europe and it began the beginning of secular people secular you know Gentiles but unfortunately it uh caught on very quickly in the Jewish world Jews are like who knows why exactly but Jews kind of jumped onto the enlightenment movement and saw it as a ticket out of ghetto out of the ghetto ticket out of the ghetto it's like joining the NBA you know you get your ticket out of the ghetto it was um it was also Jews suffered a lot and like if you had a chance to like live not as a Jew because all there was was Christians and Jews what are you going to do become a Christian I mean obviously not so all you had left was be a Jew and then deal with all the persecution and deal with all the guilt and all the whatever you know if you're not a if you weren't considered a good Jew and uh but all of a sudden there was a third choice and that third choice was be secular you could actually be secular when you guys all grew up that secular was like one of the options right to be a secular Jew that was an option it was never an option before it became an option at the Enlightenment and what happened was those who were observant doubled down people the Jews that were observant doubled down doubled down doubled down on observance and that's where the black hattitude movement began with all of Shalom welcome so that's when the movement D began and it doubled down on what is called today you know the movement which is which is a much more intense if not stricter um rendition of Judaism so then then what what it's more stricter than then the chill Jew when it was just Jews and Christians in Europe Jews and Christians in Europe Jews were like you know there was no you understand the the demonst a Jew and a Christian I shouldn't say this on YouTube I'm not going to say I was I'm not going to compare it to something but let's just say it's a it's a far cry being a Jew is a far cry from being a a you know a toothless a toothless ignoramus Christian in in you know completely illiterate completely illiterate uh chrisan you say back then back then throughout history throughout for 17 years you know it was like it was like it was like apples and oranges you don't confuse them you know but all of a sudden when you have Jews being secular all of a sudden things we got to draw a line in the sand now we got to like properly uh what's the word declare not declare de divide well divide but there's a fancier word where're like dis distinguish yeah which was also not the word but I was looking for but distinguish better than all the others we tried certainly better than disintegrate but we have to we have to distinguish ourselves as Jews from these other ones who are calling themselves Jews this is why for example this is why you never hear you never hear us say Orthodox like we never say Orthodox like we hate that word orthodox observant Jews are not I mean today Jews don't know what the hell they're doing so they'll use the word orthodox but the word orthodox was an absolute insult to the observant Jews do you know where it comes from no it came from the um came from the secular Jews from the musculin because what did they say they said because the word orthodox means strict so they were pointing at us saying oh they're also Jewish meaning here they are totally interacting with government now and Banking and like they're like they're like totally part of the Gentile world as Jews you know they stayed Jewish still Mar Jews and then they yeah they took it from us until they started intermar yeah well even when they're intermarried because the reformed Jews allowed to be Jewish and intermarried yeah the wife can go through some you know Benet Bingo conversion you know after the bingo game at synagogue and B Bingo yeah she gets her B Bingo conversion she's not Jewish what just cuz she got Bingo conversion woman wouldn't know how to keep shavas they her life depended on it and and so so what do they do but they're but is the beauty and by the way if you're reform watching this I mean there's no reform if you're 98 years old and you're reform watching this so then you should know I have nothing against you I'm they were proud Jews so then but how are they supposed to answer for all the black attitude people all the people in the black hats and all the keeping shabas and losing their job every shabas during the Depression and how do you account for those people oh simple you call them the strict ones they're Orthodox so when someone asks you what's with all these weirdos you say oh those guys they're also Jewish they're also Jewish all those observant all those observant they're also Jewish they're the Orthodox they're the Orthodox but meanwhile I mean do I seem very strict I'm like the least strict person you'll ever meet you know you guys by the way everyone in this room is stricter than I am you're all stricter than I'm like uh you know if if the doesn't say it I ain't doing it you know you guys are probably strict about all kinds of things I'm I I didn't I don't think I wore a shirt for 12 years you know growing up surfing in California I thought Maring a Jew was racist you know I thought having kids was irresponsible like uh environmentally like there there's not a strict bone in my body I'm like I'm the one thing I am a little strict about the is that my that my electric mountain bike battery is full before I go out on a ride and I'm very strict about that I'm I'm really strict about my my protective gear and I'm also strict about my um that my water packs full when I go out riding um other than that that's that oh I'm very strict about craft beer craft bear and I actually have to reload I've I've run out of my at least my my American my American uh variety so I got to reload on those what anyway um so that's where the word orthodox comes from now now check this out ready for this before the enlightenment there was no such thing as the Yeshiva and when I say before the enlightenment there's no suching Yesa I mean never before as we know it today yeah there was no such thing as a yiva when you were 12 years old every single 12-year-old of the entire Community was taught a trade by 13 by your Mitzvah you were now working in that trade by 14 you're probably married the uh 12 girls were married and you worked in that trade that was like there there was no welfare there was no social security there was no none of that stuff didn't exist you worked your parents couldn't afford you otherwise and and so you were there was no Yeshiva nor was there ever Yeshiva so people say what about the yeshivas in Babylonia the you know Pumbaa you know marova you couldn't get in the door of that place there were bouncers you were bouncers was it hillow that froze on the roof was it hillo like who couldn't get in who couldn't get into the Bas Min what no it was Hill I gu when he was young couldn't get in like you couldn't get in and and by the way if a community did have someone who studied to her after the age of 12 it was because he was a certified genius and what Happ with a certified genius is you take him you grab him by his collar you walk him to the rabbi of the community and he sits with the rabbi of the community every day until eventually some rich guy who lives like 400 miles away who has an aging Rabbi of that town who's about to die and the rich guy of that town takes that guy takes this young man and marries his daughter off to this young budding Rabbi the one kid of 100,000 people in a town you know and we all and by the way you know I'm not making this up because we saw this 70 years ago when the sparing came on operation Magic Carpet they came from all these faric towns to the land of Israel 1949 operation Magikarp and all of a sudden all these far him come flying into Israel into the land and guess what they didn't know they didn't know any Torah they just knew that God's Great and shab shabat Shalom hey shabat Shalom and when we're bringing them back in the land they didn't have any black hats long black coats or anything like that they wore whatever they had they had P they had P keas they were great yeah and they came they knew how to live Jewish life they were from they came into the land of Israel they're like with tambourines like the Lord is bringing us back into the land yeah and uh and meanwhile the people with black the blackhe Hat ashkenazim who were already here since the 1800s and because the the real Aliyah came from the t v and the T Bal so wait a second the V Bal not until theca not until the they were before thec they were 300 years ago Escola was 200 years ago B didn't learn in the these were the greats the greats always said learned the great yeah there was no Yeshiva and by the way the rejected the Yeshiva idea but let's not we're not quite there when we'll get there in a sec when the span came to the land of Israel they came where it was like for every 50,000 farim there was a rabbi something like that was the ratio and they come in they see all the people with black hats in the middle of the summer they're like they spitzing and they're like what the hell is with these guys they're all in the same outfit and the were like meaning the were like you'll understand you you're going to figure this out pretty soon the masim which is the state of Israel the state of Israel was founded by the anti- Torah community that we've been discussing calling the Torah guys Orthodox they looked at the farim and they're like we're going to we're going to eat these people alive they're are they're are they're going to be our breakfast meaning we're going to take them into secular society like that why because they don't know how to deal with us see the herim already had when the state of Israel was formed the herim had 150 years of dealing with musilim they had 150 years how to deal with these characters so they already knew exactly how to what what outfits to wear how we keep our laws and minhagim and everything we built yeshivas and that every boy now at 13 is in Yeshiva for several years at a huge expense now what I want you to get already is that the second a 13-year-old goes to Yesa which I I don't think anyone in this room says that a 13-year-old should be working we all agree that that would be good that a 13-year-old goes learns Torah at least till he's 18 give him a couple years learning right guess what the second you do that that is a major weight on the society why do you think they were working at 13 because the society couldn't float them Society couldn't float those kids and so so so we all agree that they should be doing what the kid at 13 should learn to but what you saying but today secular people they go to high school at the age of oh yeah sure the whole that's what saying why the more more of a weight than the than the secular they're all the weight they're all the weight and and we just the secular get supported by the state and the don't get supported by the state seculars are learning skills that will eventually help while they're learning they're going to help they're just as heavy of the weight yeah the same we same we but they are an investment the SEC secular governments do not see as an investment for their society I don't think it's I don't think you learn anything in school that's true that's and secular yeah what do you mean you learn gender studies I like that thought I like that thought as well but at the end of day doctors and and and people that's not built on yeah but they can't do with that high school they can't they can't they they they they don't want they don't want to do with that anyway anyway this guys the reason the reason I'm I'm the reason I'm not going guys the reason I'm not going full discussion mode I keep reeling it back in isn't just because I'm being a good moderator it's because there's only one microphone and it can't pick up anything you're saying so we're completely I'm I'm not I'm letting it ride but we're like losing the crowd every time we have these discussions we're enjoying the discussions the problem is is that they don't show up on the mic I shouldn't to use the mic today because I see this is this is bringing up a lot of discussion anyway but we're almost there the um so so what happened was the the secular government was absolutely right they ate those spartic communities up alive they ate them up alive so when you see secular spartic people walking around Israel which is like most of them you're you're uh you the reason they're not fully observant is because they they came to a secular state with no muscles right with no muscles for how do you deal with ashkenazic atheism how do you deal with ashkenazic atheism because ashkenazic atheism ashkenazic atheism is rough you know they very high IQ ashkenazic atheism European atheism and they had no way to no way to deal with that and and you know there of course immediately got televisions like who doesn't want a television you know and once you have a television so then this in in those days it was all state-run television it just they just pip piped in all their values which are the opposite of Torah values take any of their values and go to the polar opposite and you'll find the Torah you understand it's the polar opposite of Torah values what in the army in the Army you and your arm you don't stop with the Army because that's the the Army is the main like yeah but the schools are even more powerful for little kids in a secular school they're finished they're finished they finished before they W before they get the Army the Army is is a graduation school anyway the um long story short is if you look at sparing today that are observant most of them are in black hats and black codes meaning they learned from the they learned from the ashaz that you got to draw a line in the sand here if because we're all Jewish we're all Jewish this isn't Christians and Jews and you know toothless illiterate Christians named named you know Serge or uh or Boris you know this is uh these are very literate Jews very highq people who are who have gone who they've taken Gentile uh culture and put it to like the next level you know and all on the basis of atheism so so the bottom line is is that with that with the enlightenment movement and the ensuing her reaction to that movement the weight of all the weight of keeping Torah landed on society every aspect from private sector to public sector the weight of keeping the Torah alive fell on society now no one took this more seriously than than the um than the yales which who founded Jerusalem and they literally like their society is set up where you don't work like workings considered like if you work you're like not quite on the level you know and which is very strange but in America in the K societies working is considered honorable and learning full-time is considered good you know but here the guy who learns full-time is the Spitz how do you say Spitz the Pinnacle he's the Pinnacle of society in America the guy who drives a Lincoln Navigator is the Pinnacle of society and the guy who learns whole time is trying not to get splashed from the puddles when the Navigator Drives By and I always tell the the guys who learn full-time in America who are already in their 30s 40s and I look at them and I see they're like they're such losers at this point and I'm not talking about the ones who are like really halga like beautiful shining lights of Torah I'm talking about just guys who wound up in that situation because who know their their Rich father-in-law and they just wound up you know being the trophy of their father-in-law who made makes all the money I always tell those guys like move to Israel grab your wife grab your kids go to Israel where you are the Range Rover driver meaning where you're the P you should be the Pinnacle of society not the not the the guy like trying to get not get splashed while the Range Rover Drives By go to Israel where you are honored and what are you doing out here I can't move to Israel my father will kill me and I'm like bro just move to Israel let your father-in-law kill you yeah and so how many think how many guys do you think I got already here one none thousand none none oh yeah they they they Mak is very thick in America the plague of darkness is very thick in America and you see like even you guys you guys are all English speakers um I would say maybe with the exception of of this man because you've been here how many years now 46 46 years in Israel you're you're outside of that I was always outside of it but but if you think about it you guys love the mud you love the mud like you still daydream about maybe life an American The Good Life you still dream about the mud and all those people over there in Raad what I call I call that from the University where married people live it's called married student housing so all the people in married student housing in Northeast Jerusalem love the mut and they're they look at shekels like Monopoly money like they they they're just playing around with their parents money right yeah hard enough no hard enough is a little more per way more permanent than ran is completely Transit and they anyway which means no one can get close to each other over there because why would you get why would you your heart won't let you get that close to someone that you know is leaving so um anyway so I've been trying to convince all the parents in America because I have a big you know voice in American society I've been trying to convince all the parents that not to be idiots when you're what do they do they marry off a couple send them to Israel to play with the Monopoly money for a few years and then and then when the time's right they draw them back and then implant them deeply into the mud of America to where they cannot get out and they cannot get out and not only they cannot get out they won't get out even when msia comes yeah even when mhia comes I I told you guys I asked large audiences are you coming when mhia comes or are you going to wait and see what happens next and every woman says she's coming when msia comes but she doesn't realize her husband on the other side of the M who's in charge of where they're going to be says we're going to wait and see see what happens next yeah they're not coming back and I wor I worry personally I worry so they don't I worry that they won't make it back I really worry about that they don't believe in the what they don't believe in the they believe in it just keep keep them keep them and their Investments out of this whole story yeah they're they're they they'll wait till see what happens next you know people yeah that's why I called it and mud's usually dark as well so so the um and people are addicted to the mud people are addicted to it if you're raised there you think you're daydreaming about it about the mud you want your you want to lease your your ex7 at uh $700 a month you know what it would cost to have an X7 here in Israel per month more dollars would probably be about 2,000 what's the next month next s a BMW it's a vehicle beautiful German engineering anyway um so I don't know what will happen to all those people but but Lakewood they they don't come here because don't have to go to the are you bringing up the Army again he won't stop with the Army anyway anyway so what's happened is a lot of the society leans on the other part of the society why to keep Torah alive to keep Torah going it's imbalanced very imbalanced caused a lot of resentment there tons of resentment over it you know like it doesn't take long to talk to a SEO Israeli before they segue to theim being parasites on the society it Segways real quick there and but you have to know if you get in those conversations you have to say to them that I can't explain this to you mister because until you would understand the value of teror and understand a teeny bit of History which I've delivered in this class then you you just can never understand why it's important that we don't let Torah be forgotten why didn't Torah can't be forgotten it's game over by the way the whole planet game over torah's if Torah gets forgotten and it would be easily forgotten if it wasn't for theum it would be gone not you don't think there's a BAL do it like like I get it that when the musculum when Israel was started and all that like there wasn't naturally extreme reaction to something else extreme that happened but at this point like don't you think there's room for a more balanced solution than complete imbalance um yeah um so the question is in case you didn't hear is is isn't there a more balanced solution to all all of this um there is there is for sure and not only is there there will be and it's only waiting for one thing and that one thing is trust trust right if let's say you and I had an issue and and we want to work out the issue but the is but there's an issue beyond the issue and be issue beond the is he's screwed me several times in the past and I've screwed him several times in the past and there's no trust so we don't have trust so now let's say you're the mediator and you want to get us back together what's the first thing you got to develop TR trust yeah you have to develop that there's two trustworthy part two partners at the table who can trust each other well how are we going to build trust well there's going to have to be some uh first of all you're going to have to be able to articulate my side because otherwise I don't think the guy understands me and I have to be able to articulate your side till the secular Israeli government can articulate the side of theim which I don't imagine them being able to do now but maybe they could someday I believe that I'm meant I really believe this that I'm meant at some point in my career to become a spokesman to the secular Israeli government uh world to explain the subtleties of what we're talking about when we talk about the importance of Tor in the planet that that and so that once they can understand that and then and then uh communicate their understanding that we get it now now we get it and thank you so muchim for having Dr put your heels in the Dr dug your heels in the sand dug your heels in the ground to not let us destroy Torah thank you for not letting us Destro T but in in other words let's develop trust if we could develop that trust and some good will should be some Goodwill like there's I should give you something you should give me something a little bit of Goodwill in the process if we could do trust and we could do Goodwill we would find the balance we'd find that balance and we're going to get there we're going to get there and the and the and one of the biggest issues of all is the is that the uh you're not allowed to have Gentiles in the land of Israel unless they're keeping the seven noahide laws so Gentiles aren't allowed here and right now I mean that applies to Jews also Jews aren't allowed here no in order to live here you have to keep mitzah you're a gentile you have to keep the seven laws if you're a Jew you have to keep the 63 otherwise you're not allowed to live here right you can't be you can't be a Jew and an idol worshiper um but but anyway the the he's right but also the the the Gentiles are not allowed to be here Trump's taking I know did you guys see the latest Trump news so funny Trump's like he's we need a guy like Trump to not understand any of the the subtle details you need a guy like Trump who's like that guy doesn't have an anti-semitic bone in his body like the whole reason all the goyam in the world would every go in the world every leader every Gentile every every Arab every everyone thinks and every Jew every Jew thinks that that Gaza should be a less Hamas Arab area Trump just looks down from a satellite picture sees a coastal area he's thinking Maro you know he's like yeah you know these people they deserve a good life get them the hell out of there let's rebuild that place make it something beautiful International you know great place he like you know and he but the whole world would say back Donald Trump don't you realize that that would mean the Jews would live in peace that's not part of it you understand Nan himself would never even thought of such an idea he's like like every government leader of this country even the ones who are right-winger anti-arab still probably deep down believe that we're supposed to have our enemy in the land wow Trump's like you don't have enemies in your land yeah but we're we're going to we're going to mop the floor with those guys we already are yeah the the those guys are build yeah they they're they're going to be knocked out those guys and the all that's going to be left all there's going to be left is just Jews and these Israeli Arabs who have just been terrible humiliated by radical islamists all this time but who says they won't get radicalized you know like I don't know but I know one thing is they are so humiliated by by by the their what do you call it co-religionists you know I believe when you see them in our Parks you ever notice they're in the herbs are in the Western Jerusalem Parks I believe they're in the Parks because they're just looking for some acceptance I really do I I think they they just want to feel normal you know they're actually just they're just citizens who are like trying to make a life for themselves and Israel is the best place of all the Middle Eastern countries we're the best place meaning even the ones that are better than Israel aren't that good if you're not close to the leaders you it's not meaning Saudi Arabia is a great place to be unless you're just a regular guy living in a tent with a bunch of sheep Israel is the best place in the Middle East for for an ER and they're just constantly humiliated and every time another terrorist attack they just get strip searched at every checkpoint these are like just regular human beings you know regular human beings just getting going for the full orifice search you know and every time they want to come come to a park so yeah I don't know but they but is but they have to keep the seven laws even the Israeli Arabs have to keep the seven what good one yeah I think they more or less keep the same all right that was kind of a weird class I don't even know if I should post it you guys think I should post this way oh yeah that's true yeah we'll post this to to do a little bridging and uh so let's uh I think I'll give a blessing and we be blessed to to uh promote Trust in one another let us give goodwi to the people who might not be exactly our uh seeing things the way we see them little Goodwill um let's be blessed to see both sides educated in what's what's at stake here and may we see peace in our days amen
