Business isn't Reason to Miss Davening with Minyan

[Music] 251 in kuntuzumayan the kids here before we go on to the next chapter let's read the kitchen together the the sinner who really is honest with himself if he's honest knows that he is at fault in the pain that he has from realizing his foolishness he has harotta he has regret um and he has a thought of chuva as he little said that's what the russia vettel is according to tanya chapter 11. the person who is justifying always his behavior aina muharram he does not think about doing chuva and thinking for a moment that he is at fault and he should regret what he did aval nevertheless yodeya he knows sorry so there's two things there is knowing i did something wrong and then there's no then there is i want to do something about it and change my ways it's two separate things you're innocent so the the the rebel ashab finds you could say merit in the person who who is always justifying what's the merit the merit is at least he knows something is wrong he doesn't he doesn't yet come to a point where he says i want to do truva because of his excuses but he knows that a wrong was done the wrong was done but it's not me it's not because of me it's because of my friend because of my community but of course something wrong was done let's continue then there comes another character flaw which is even worse we call this in hebrew hamas someone who holds tuva good luck for himself he thinks he's justified he doesn't recognize the deficiency vascular sort of thickened and that it requires correction he doesn't think anything wrong was done why because he's god's gift to humanity finally we have the third character flaw which is worse than the previous two which is hamish goya the one who boasts and brags okay because the first two yoni you can be private about it you feel good about it you feel that you know you're justified but you don't go around and share and and your your you know your stuff with others but then there's a third type of character that's misguided and you look around it's interesting because this is you know you look around our communities our schools our homes our environments we see this there are certain people that like to boast and brag about their studio there are other people that don't do that but inside themselves they think they were right in what they did and finally there are those that know something wrong was done but they're not yet ready to do chuva so these are the three things and the rebel ashab said hamish goya the person who has the third character floor play game by utk he blemishes the first two letters of the shame hashem the utk um and he said an amazing thing and it causes him to lose his talents and i elaborated on that yesterday i just want to say as it as i'm speaking out loud maybe possible answer to yaakov's question why the uk and not the buff k so yaakov this is a thought that just hit me as i'm talking yud the first k of the shame hashem is bina it says in kabbalah and hasidis that the the the pagima the blemish in the uk is when you use choc mambina for non-godliness and contrary to godly godliness instead of the uk being in hashem and trader and helping another yid you use it for your own self-aggrandizement in a way of uk what's uk bragging because we're not talking here about by the way we're not talking guyver is not his spyros if you remember what it says in peter carlo field and tanya the altar but gave us four meters rows four bad character traits associated with the four elements and the one for ruach heir that's a bunch of air is huddleless lizanas and espyros you understand you remember that right what's the spiders boasting what does the hebrew of aspires mean it means you're a bunch of air you you aren't really a great person but you put you just boast and blow from yourself so it's a bunch of hot air exactly and that's why oilers frivolity and with sonas and hispirus they go together because it's all air what about guyva guyva's real guy there is this man is very talented this man hat knows a lot nevertheless he brags so brad's yaakov is associated with bina in other words you wouldn't call someone who's about his spirit someone who's a a master of boastfulness someone with content he's a bunch of hot air gornit gurnish there's nothing there but someone who's guyva who's about guys according to the khazal literature alcoponem and khasidis it represents someone who has a lot of meat and potatoes he has a lot of content he has member and when he uses his hawkman being as guyba to boast and like we said yesterday that ashab emphasizes that nate taylor someone who really knows taylor so his cochlear implant is used in torah but in agave way that's a blemish in the uk but there's a positive application of the spirals as well what's the positive application of spiders go ahead it's my list now that i'm inspired no not his spy loss you're mixing up the two not not his spa loot with the laminate his spa root with a rash and you know there is positive to that and we've discussed it and okay okay good good that's why we dialogue that's why we we have interaction good so so this this might this i think is the basic answer to your question why i mean he asked hebrew he asked a very good question and i i you know i wish you would have asked it we learned that it blemishes the uk why not the fk why only the uk and the answer is because we're identifying a ben torah and we're identifying someone who has khambina and the youth represents the first k represents bina the verb represents the six meters and the last k represents malchus so the middles and and malchus are more um practical orient oriented you know so we're not talking about that we're talking about the sequel and by the way we find this theme in tanya and pedro where the altered makes a very big disc uh issue of mischievous and i don't want to speak about that now it really needs to share for itself the blemishing the the the the cycle with with with with with uh secular uh studies of of of clipper nature okay i am not just any you know man we're not talking about mathematics and even there the altar says if you like the rambam and the ramban that used it for asic for their business for their parnosa to help others it's acceptable okay um i spoke to someone who had yahidis with the rebel in the 1960s and his his parents mother i think in particular wanted them twins or not to go to college and they wanted to stay in yeshiva and there the russian shiva told them here i think ter vadas in brooklyn somewhere and the rabbit told them that you know that uh if you know first of all keep with that if that's what your parents want you know this kiba dave but in addition to that that said the issue with secular studies is bitter torah which is very interesting because usually that wasn't the answer that wasn't the rebels reason for not going to college but he told you know in other words if there is if there's a question my uncle my uncle told my uncle went into achieving this in the 60s he also he was going to college and the rebbe saw that he's a lost case he's going to college so he didn't tell them not to go to college he told them choose subjects that don't have heresy in them so if you avoid the heretical subjects which is a big if it's not so simple okay it's not so simple you know i uh for like for one or two classes i went to uh to consider getting a degree in in jewish studies at toro college and that's touro college it was a from college and the professors were very from people really and it was and there was some heresy and what they were teaching me to say not that they would not they would the subject matter lent itself to certain ideas which are contrary to torah i did continue for various reasons but i'm just saying i i it's a sensitive issue but let's say that you're studying mathematics and there's no heresy in mathematics the question is is it in the gether of bitter torah so if you're going to use that and even if you need that as a as a course to get you to to to engineering or or accounting or psychology whatever you're going to get to be a panosa that's not what the altar ever means in chapter 8 and tanya anyway this is an important discussion on not now but i'm just saying since we speak about the uk and the alta rebbe in chapter eight talks about even though he doesn't mention over there the uk but he talks about the whole idea of matamas ammo contaminating the maya and and i just i want to end with something i saw last night i came across a youtube someone yerushalayim who i know comes from a chabad family very bright very hasidic family and he started to read books and i see now he's contaminated no question about it even if he's religious he's not the same he was before the books got to his brain and he's bright and he's smart and he has good questions and it made it made an impact he's not happier now my humble opinion but the books made a difference so it's not you know there was someone else i think i told you about about a month ago i saw on a youtube summer another crown heights boy and he and and he blames his father for his father suggested he read a book when he was a teenager you know but he started to read and it's interesting this guy last night said that he spoke to this guy who i referred to two weeks or a month ago we say in your idea there's a a lesson called matza minis one kind finds the other kind you know but my point is it you know we have to be careful with reading material especially with our kids and grandkids and it's it's you know and it's and it's a balance how do you how do you discern between um important reading that that you know that will help you in your in your understanding of hashem you know versus reading that's you know on the borderline of heresy and if not heresy is going to drag you down into a dark place and this is this is an ongoing issue that the yeshivas and the schools and the rabonam grapple with this is the this is some ongoing thing you know in the 1940s in 1943 or 44 the rabbit writes to rabbi hutner of higher berlin and and and the frida kahrab the previous river writes them thank you very much for removing those books from your curriculum and he calls him uh kim he called and in the foot and i think either in the letter on the footnote it says other yeshivas and i don't want to say the names with prominent russia shiva did not remove those books from the english curriculum and rabbi hutner did and that recognized them for it so this was always a contentious issue between the russia shiva and the rabbanim what is permissible to read what should be in the curriculum and what shouldn't be in the curriculum and um this is true in our houses i i remember speaking to someone who told me about his father who lived in you know in ramadan in tel aviv when he was a hasidic jew but and he said he remembers all the way on top in his bookshelf he acts on books that weren't so kosher but knowing that person he read those books because he was making what it says in pirkei of his dad mala toshiba chorus because he dealt with hapakursi in the knesset he dealt with those russian immigrated jews of hasidic and lit background who rebelled against their parents and grandparents and were poets and writers many of which names you know about and he was teaching them and they were arguing with them and he had to convince them so he read some of the books so that's a that that's that's another area you know or for example you know rabbi emmanuel jonas who knew rob manuel i'm sure you know he he he was like a um an expert in the new testament and i remember uh in marin county i invited someone named the doctor zawalski i think his name was khabadik from michigan from detroit i don't know if you knew him you understand and he was uh he knew the new testament inside out and i said to him why why do you do this why because he said because i'm a cult buster and i need to be able to refute them and he stayed with me for shabbos was fast fantastic to speak with him and his one of the reasons he came is because a sister of his was never caught in the yoshi movement and you know what he said to me and married a guy a non-jew and he said to me with all my knowledge i cannot get her out of the cult i cannot get her to leave jews for joshua i'm too close very interesting here is an expert a world expert in the new testament who goes in and slaps people out by destroying their arguments and he did tremendous work and his own sister he can't pull out of the the the cult and the you know and the juice for yeshua so you know because when it's an emotional thing it's the heart if you can get to the brain he could prove to you that he you know but they were exceptions so welsky was an exception rabbi emmanuel you know these are individuals world individuals one two three four here and there for us to do that it's wrong we shouldn't be reading the new testament or the quran some say read the quran no i don't think it's appropriate to read the quran if you need it for a presentation an argumentation and you have to ask her of whose knowledge will not feel who knows about covet okay it's two separate worlds the rather proof to have major feinstein that he was wrong when it came to engineering because our moisture with all of his godless and he was didn't know engineering and the babachir ever studied engineering and he knew engineering and ramosa wrote to him you are right i didn't know this and i and and you're right it's it's printed meisha so it's public i'm not telling you any secrets why because the rapper was an expert in that field so when a person goes to a rev they have to know that the type of question that they have and the appropriate rug who's really knowledgeable and if someone fakes it just go away from them not every rev knows every question every every every field they don't and it's a fallacy to think that you know seldom do you have a rove that knows every field of torah and is studied in modern technology and knows what's going on and this is something that we continue continuously have issues with and struggles with you know people ask me about you know meditation and think these are very very select fields where it's very difficult i remember when they had the the cox remember to call the chauffeur the self-improvement like the warner earhart type of stuff right in 2000 or whatever it was 2010 and um you couldn't find the rove that really compassed him so they found fondler of david cohen of flatbush at talmud of rabe hutners who's very knowledgeable and supposedly he he understood that and gave up suck i i frankly i don't know if he knows that area but he says he he took the responsibility and that's that's that's between him and god you know i mean you have to really know the the the field of cults and the field of of meditation you know to be able to say it's indeed a vodazora or it's not available anyway i've been blabbling too much let's get to the mimer you like this guy you like these fuckbringers right mushroom loves it he can sit all day you know the the the hidden they're not in the beach so they go from one piece together they say life is one wrong for breeding to go from one for burning to another thank you very good yes yes yes it's interesting what you brought up because this morning on chakras so i'm saying i'm saying for for my uncle that passed he doesn't have any children so i'm saying kaddish for him yeah so not only so already twice the guy came over to me the same guy happens to be an english guy and he said to me he says um he says you should not be saying here on the show he said it's not the show and you should not say it's against that which which is yeah yeah so i didn't like get into it or anything like that he's like you know so then i asked a rabbi the rabbi said to me he goes whatever you're saying usually you can say it's not a big deal asked the rabbit of the show and he said you you know say it forever the same thing you do usually and she says what's the difference so you say meaning guys i get used to it and you know the guy is like okay it's very hard to change it you know yeah i mean listen there's something to what he told you i mean you know but if the rev says otherwise it's otherwise in other words the rough probably saying that other people before you have said the attractor the the the you know this person probably uh wants to keep to the news i mean there's something to be said you know um but if again you went to the rev and if the ref told you otherwise then fine but i i i understand where the the man made the comment to you you know if you made it you know an appropriate way uh i understand it's like you don't go into you know last night at darwin that happened david square so i looked at the wall they put up all kinds of ticket tacomas you know you know only if you go to the mick diving for the almond only if you don't have a beard then you don't touch your beard whatever those are their tacos i turned around to the heaven i said no one can dive in for the omelet here because if you have a smartphone you can't down for the omit and i know all of you have a smartphone so one guy says a friend is i don't have a smartphone on me i said right you left it at home because you know you shouldn't bring it to jewel but you have a smartphone right so you're not going to dominate the other here's but i do truth each time i go to the almond you know you know you hear the games people play so you know yay if they do that you could say beyonce yes my yeah just in the last things you were saying before yeah about about uh speaking with a rug because it was an expert it's just well it's just a signature but it is something that's come up it does come up sometimes that uh sometimes let's say person you know the person considers himself to be on the bob so he wants sunni let's see he has a rod views the road with his lubavitchera but sometimes you know you need a rug especially like you hear nerd swell there are things i think they come up with sometimes maybe maybe you need to consult the rav about a particular issue who's not a laboratory because he's mama like in the whole you know i'm just saying it's it's so wrong that's fine but i what i would do is i would get i would talk first to the laboratory of and then and then openly say to him you know um do you feel that you have knowledge is this a field of yours and if not um with your permission can i go to the expert who's not a liberator in other words i would kind of get his blessing and approval for it this way you stay consistent with your rabbinic uh advice and and if he says no it doesn't mean you have to listen to him i'm not saying i didn't say you should i said it's you know but but but usually any ref who's honest and is worth his money will tell you you know you know will tell you you know this is not my field then they go on let's learn some cities 253 [Music] now he talks about not ben the banay torah the yeshiva bakarim and the koilo guys now he's speaking about us business people such people who are business people that are not associated with other things come on the they work honestly and they're not into indulgences and pleasures you know [Music] coming from the inclination that's no good that's causing one to desecrate and to do things that are opposite of hashem the basics here that ever starts giving giving it to us he says the idea of working too much tear the asic one is totally engrossed bothered and anxious because of the day and night to the point where he doesn't have a chance to learn today and to have in mind the translation of the words [Music] that he thinks if he will take time while davening to listen to what comes out of his mouth making his ears listen hear what he says [Music] he'll do business the ishmael is on him he'll keep everything in an organized fashion in a timely fashion he assassinate the lawyer and he'll be very involved and he won't make a cent the prophet all right gum yeah don't even lose money money versus over matsuman he'll only work a little bit over me at asic and he won't be so involved and engrossed in his work and jarvie if he will prophet tim kaine who says that by taking the time spending time on governing and learning you you're losing business although yes you're trying to find that maybe it might even be better from that he shouldn't engross himself involved himself so much in work or versus having his body kayak losses if he remembers every moment it's a shrimp that gives him the ability to accomplish [Music] and it's hashem's blessing that makes you wealthy that's amazic and the work itself who rock it's an upon which the blessing will rest avalo but the main thing is because hashem the blessing of god in kane if so alexa needs to be dedicated there it gets really close primarily to godliness of next page to 1955 has you have to make a vessel and that's the work you got to make a vessel avo driven king it's enough to have a minimal amount of visas so when are we talking about this we're talking about this when when when it if it contradicts cairo mitzvahs time of kavanaugh davening davening right we're not talking about you davin you're diving nicely and quiet quietly and patiently and and you had kavona and you ate something now go to work i mean and then you learn to fuse a little bit now it's time to go to work and work a full day first dates if you need a break but i'm saying he's not talking about not you know me it doesn't mean you're putting in one hour and and hashem sent me the blessing i worked one hour that's a cop-out okay if you can afford it and of course you want to do that let's continue god hashem will bless you in everything that you do but son of lord we have [Music] without any work in any attempts you will have because hashem um yet the verse says in everything that you do mahmud implies that you got to put your hand to the pedal [Music] that will give me a depends on your daily activity so the rabbit's question is how will we correspond to this hazal in my mind now with the previous was too believe it or not that one's paranosis is determined that rosh hashanah seemingly it's a contradiction is the term narasana is determined who says [Music] your entire budget is decided on rosh hashanah you hear that if that's the case what's this judgment every day is is my budget decided you're just saying or is it decided every day he brought this earlier this contradiction he's going to revisit it now but right so now that's another question and finally another question the gun and also we have to understand [Music] the refrigerator was stacked with food why is that yeah the server even though he had to eat we have a mistakenly [Music] it was not prepared for him at the shoilimy bay malkibbutz laser until until it was um the food was not prepared until he had acid from the house of the king in other words the food was waiting for him but he didn't ask for it until he said his prayer but sort of love and maui what is this prayer tomorrow will continue mr sham will read the uh the here and we'll go on to the next mimer but this last section that we read in i remember in in in my in younger years when we started to learn cultural mind this was like what we heard about country somayan it's going to answer a contradiction of the gemaras is man judged every day for his prognosis or is he judged on rosh hashanah and it says both and being that this was written for balabatin primarily right like i told you several times in in 1904 and during those times people were working very hard so this was what we at the time heard is that's what contrast of mind is about but now so many years later and learning already more than half of the safer uh barak hashem we see that it has much more than just reconciling a contradiction and that through the kind of the first 15 my murren whatever 30 my mark 12 or whatever it was in understanding you know kedusha and clipper and he spoke a lot about that it give it give us a better understanding in addressing this issue that we're going that we just asked about every have a great day everyone it's a few minutes early but i have another share and we'll cop you want to say something no just thank you okay zygozote everyone see you tomorrow bye bye thank you
