okay so let's open up the text that was
already manager
uh the letter from let us know Khan
it's the second sheer
we're on page
pay not pay tests
no we started pay test oh yeah oh we are
still on paid tests no yeah
yeah we'll get it
right you're right you're right you're
right your paragraph you are right you
are right
okay
tell him
says before I get into the body of the
idea into the main idea
I I suggest a very simple question for
you to think about
listen to this
what if your only son if you had an only
son
foreign
doesn't want him to uh you know to get
all flustered that he's saying hey this
is going to happen to your son so he
says
my intent is not God forbid
when you talk to someone directly it's
called in Hebrew but there is so I don't
mean that this question directed at you
I want you to think about it as an
emotion
Elliot saw it if only if it would be
that's why it's in in in in quotations
[Music]
and we hope to Hashem that he'll guard
us from this entire from such a
situation I'm going to describe now
foreign
although who can give a
a guarantee
that surely
this won't happen to any individual well
in the physical material world as much
as we do what's right there's no
guarantees okay nevertheless
specifically in this generation where
Darkness covers the earth and therefore
it's apt for these things to happen
where people have a yet either
and he says so what if your son your
only son
would become a bahalo Shabbos he would
desecrate Shabbos without hessia
publicly
yes
and there is hope that if you'll be my
car of him you'll bring him closer with
love and closeness and honor
he'll return to us
you see the word
saying to this person I want you to
really
think about this truthfully it was your
kid
you were the longer pious
throwing the stones in May assure him or
screaming and or you know in in in in
Williamsburg it was your kid
that having it either
and then there's a chance that some
someone will be my car of him or her
and he will do true but she will do true
is asking the person who is writing to
what would you do then
would you make a husband an account
if it's forbidden to be my kind of going
to show him Wicked people
who Mitzvah and it's a Mitzvah listen to
hate them
with the ultimate of hatred what you say
to yourself hate
um I don't care it's my kid my kid is a
Russian now since he's a Russia I hate
him
and therefore I don't want to hear about
him I don't need a struva
etc which is a dominant feeling or at
least used to be it used to be in these
communities
and unfortunately still is bites up
let's go on oi or would you say
is a Hector and that's why Hector over
here is in in in in in
um in the quotations
or you would find some kind of header to
permit yourself
to give your son or daughter a second
chance even though everyone else is in
Russia
right
the Cardiff is
Maybe by bringing him close and being
nice to him and honoring him he'll do
true love
so Rubio says I want you to really think
about that what would you do now if yo
says butter that sleep it's sure to me
foreign
I am sure I am convinced that if you
were to truly again the words are in
italic in bold if you would truly think
about it
and be objective
the word is a Yiddish word and it means
in English to fool yourself
and you don't want to fool yourself you
want to be honest and genuine and
sincere
but yeah actually show them suffocus
vexmaker there would be no doubt by you
and no doubt within a doubt so I am
started because
you would surely do whatever it takes to
bring your only son who went off the
Derek back to Cuba even though right now
he is a Russia
so who are you kidding that's the
question he says I want you who who you
and your friends who call the
non-religious people reshaim
and it's a mixed with they hate them and
all that I want you to tell me if you
would have the same feeling about your
son or your daughter who left the dead
of etc etc
okay next paragraph
on one hand how you talking question
mark
why should you have that feeling is
in others he's saying you know that you
would not have that feeling for your son
or daughter who left the dead your only
son but seemingly why not you know
you're a yirushimaim you're a Jewish how
is it not that is
doesn't hate to show you
and more so you're going to show them
signs of love and closeness
in other words seemingly
takes what it says in the Toyota that
unless he's supposed to hate so how is
it that you wouldn't talk to hate your
own son ah
it's a very simple answer why
be sure
this is like sweet as honey and it's all
in Yiddish it you know gives it out you
you know you should understand what he's
saying
your own child when you're talking about
your own child and some bold the word
organ egg in them and then again
the word zaina means you're
only son
and get his fault
felt up cold noise
oh kanoi it's all zealotry Falls aside
felt up Maisha means Falls aside Falls
away
so who are you kidding you bluffer
in other words
in in and then okay even if we're even
let me explain is not saying that you
have to that when the trader says you
say hey to Russia it means some of the
one of the daughter of he's not saying
that but he says if a court you
according to the way you guys think
someone who is
otd off the Derek and all that is a
Russia and you have to hate it so he
says if that's the case how is it that
you don't hate your own son and the
answer is because when it comes to my
blood when it comes to my flesh I don't
look at oh
what it says the title
I don't I don't say that again Joel's
not saying that that's what you should
do he's saying according to the way you
think in other words really you have it
all wrong you don't understand what the
title is saying as the out that ever
says in chapter 32 and Tanya that the
idea of giving muscle and hating someone
for their Avera is when when their
says in chapter 32 it's a phenomenal
then he says there look into chapter 32.
you should scold someone for their sins
the word which means friend
and breaks it up into two Hebrew words
IM
someone who's with you he plays god with
you he eats pizza with you he schmoozes
with you you go to the bar together you
go to the ball game together you learn
together your friends
and even then even then as I've said
many times on the shioram
there's a way to give Musso
taught it to me and I'm right I write
about it because it's so important
just because someone who's your friend
okay is there you you have friends who
went to medical school with you
okay you meet them and they're just
wrong you meet him there they're in the
cafeteria eating shrimp
you want to pull their eyes out their
Jews you know them your buddies
no no there's a way to do it
when's the last time you hung out with
them you hang out in bed Shem as you
hang out with frumies
you got to become their friend and more
their friend and all that and once you
become the friend and spend time and and
that is something that we don't want to
really do
whether we don't want that environment
if no problem but then don't give them
muscle because your mustard will only be
uh hate it because you're not their
friend and this is a heavier this is so
true in life it's true if your spouse is
true with your kids it's true with your
rabbit and Casino
you know I I I just for a second I
digress you know there you know I was
raised in this culture when systems sit
together you you give each other you
beat each other up
right
and and when I went out sleepers to
California and as the years went on
you know I tried that with my Bella
bottom and it didn't work and it was a
disaster and I stopped
my brother bought him even though they
have a yamaka whether it's a balcuba not
balchuva they're not the roof they're
not the SRI
they didn't they didn't eat you know the
food in the in the Yeshiva cafeteria
where you could you know what I'm saying
and taco when I get together with my
best friends we can say anything to each
other because it's taken in the right
way no one's embarrassed at 60 years old
40 years after when Yeshiva to say to
each other you know hey you're a jerk
hey do better what are you doing for
your life because because we're friends
in the blood because that's we we grew
up together you know I said Abigail was
telling him over here basically
you're not
so so what I'm saying is that I don't
want anyone to walk away listening to
the sheer that's oh
saying that the reason you're not you
you're not being honest and you're not
in criticizing him your son is because
you love your child but really you
should give him that Musser right what
I'm saying don't walk it's true there's
a meaning of Musser for a Russia but it
has to be in the right way at the right
time and the right person and I would
say today today it really doesn't it
doesn't apply it normally I really I
really believe that because many times
we say well he went to Yeshiva
he's a he's a he's an ex Yeshiva boy
see he knows what Shabbos is
let me tell you something
they maybe once knew what shop assist
they don't know anymore Chavez's
you know I I didn't said you guys have
maybe I should but a friend sent a
clip of of a woman in Williamsburg I
guess she has a tour program
you saw it now I was thinking about it
let me tell the camera so some some some
husted with a strimel and the Garb
holding on Olive
and he says excuse me
um would you like to bench a little
vanessric and she answers them in ayali
Yiddish if you hear carefully she's
speaking a Hungarian type of Yiddish you
know but it's been years that she's left
Williamsburg so she's not speaking you
know the real Hungarian dish you know
it's kind of covered over but in certain
words of the bracha she makes I picked
up the Hungarian this you have to pay
attention
and
and and it's very interesting because
here she it's like she's looking at him
she's doing it and
I felt that inside she's turning inside
out outwardly you don't see it so much
because she grew up I think in that
community
right and she left the community now let
now so so what I also walked away with
is
she is
she is a child that's been in captivity
it's been caught by the glass guy and
the secularism but you'll say wait a
minute she was a girl that went to base
Yakov went to base Rojo which is the
Sacrament School in Williamsburg so you
know she is a Russia
wrong
because she forgot everything
and and you see he has to tell her the
first brother
she didn't remember all
so obviously she's gone so far that she
has forgotten the real yet
so to go and say that she's a Russian no
she's not a Russian Isabel she's a
teenager mishbud that had a background
Once Upon a Time in other words what I'm
saying is that it's seldom where you
find someone who's an epicatus there are
there used to be a lot more they're
either Justin and all those but today
you know I am not going to say that the
boy in new square
or in the mirror or Lakewood or bien or
panovic whatever whatever it is who
leaves the the film world and and
becomes not religious is a Russian why
because if you if you know them well and
you study them you'll see that they
never really got it so they didn't get
it then they are not a Russian foreign
I just I think it's very important to to
to understand that so therefore I
believe we should adopt the attitude
they're not a showing
they're not ashamed
yet you know
Russia you know what I'm saying but a
yeet is not a Russian
Aid is just confused misinformed
and it's and I I'm not saying this with
like it's easy for me to say this
because it's not because just like I'm
sure you I've had in my life issues
where someone really hurt me
and and you want to walk and you want to
say that guy is a real bad guy
right and to work on yourself to not
feel that is a very hard enough later
but the truth is that's the operator
that is the MS
the fact that he will have to deal with
the best dinner without who
that's his husband it's not my husband
my husband is
what do I do about it and how can I
serve Hashem better and that's what
Dalton brings it again from the governor
Shimmy bengala Shimmy bengala curses of
the melach and David says I love you
no it's the same thing
makes up at all these problems and yes
he prays to Hashem save me
but he still loves
and of course different rabbis different
communities take this different I'm
telling you the way might ever my
mashpia
just taught us
not just because it's feeling good I'm
not going to feel good people I come
from you know a different generation
like you guys do you know what I'm
saying I'm not I'm not into you know
feel good and give me a hug and
everything's great and life is great and
we and we cover our eyes no
but at the same time
look into the situation and another
point which I think Dr W will say later
is you know hey guy you're critical of
your son and you're so good
and that's Dr Davis is actually chapter
30 of Tanya he says this guy who's a
sinner who's looking you know after
women and all that he's sitting in the
market
he's sitting in Manhattan
and everyone's passing Lord Tel Aviv
right
and everyone's running half naked and
all that what what do you expect
you're sitting in the Yeshiva or in your
little steattle or your little and sure
right or your little workplace
Maisha has a beautiful view I hope you
still do moisture of the BET of the
mountains right
that's what Maisha sees
him he doesn't see the Schmutz of Tel
Aviv
so for him to feel I'm something so
special I don't look at the Schmutz you
know thank you very much my chef
excavator because
that's what you see from your window I
want to see how you would be an artist
with with all the crazies the anti-bliss
people and the gays and the lesbian the
guns right there where my daughter lives
the heart of the Lion
the the gun mayor where the gay parade
starts is two blocks from my daughter
two
I've been there yeah
yeah well and my daughter my son my
three grandchildren they're just looking
there and they had 600 people on
simcostaria
you know any other things
that's right that's right and there they
just bought a new shoe for 200 people
and and it's packed with Eden and
simchas every Shabbos three baby namings
and offroofs it's it's a Renaissance
beyond belief of Americans not I mean
anglos Australians Americans English
Canadians and some Israelis so what I'm
saying is that
you can easily and believe I'm telling
you I I struggle sometimes you know they
do an activity or they you know if they
share with me and I have a picture of
this or that and I say hey what's going
on
but it's so easy for me to say that
sitting here in ballpark
I'm not sitting there I'm not dealing
with with people who need to be be
brought back to you this guide
right so
keep your mouth shut
you know when we will do exactly what
the shluchem and others do
you know Schwartz
would walk would have a stand at the
edge of the um the Venice Beach this is
in some harmonica in California and and
read the how you name to people and tell
them about the birthday and all that
no I couldn't do it you know shlima was
able to do it it was one schleimer
but but you know so before we criticize
he's a Russia she's a Russia look at
yourself but so that that he doesn't say
over here but I just I just felt this
was an important let's let's continue
let's continue please inside
well the last line on page Sadiq of the
first paragraph
and after WL says to this person to the
supper
when you will imagine this that it's
your own son your Ben Jacob that went
off the Derek
you make a simple account like this
let's read the next paragraph say yes
when you have a Jew that is left to
Hashem is very great after they come
until
and therefore he loves every Jew
he loves this Jew and that's you because
just like he loves his own child
because every child every Jew is like
his only son to Hashem and he brings
direct the citation after the
parenthesis now push it it's understood
Shana God say in Korea is
simple that you would have the attitude
to every Jew
like like you the Sacramento I'm writing
to would conduct yourself with your own
son even if it was off to Derek right
because you love him and you love every
Jew that's shame is doing the right
thing
let me tell you a secret okay Maisha
that's the language
I will reveal to The Honorable Men of
Torah it's a respectful way of
addressing someone
may you live
say yes
there is such a yehudi there is such a
Jew
but she'll laugh because of what I'm
saying what it's what it says on the
text
but you can handle it because we're good
friends for what I'm paying
if y'all says to the shop let me tell
you a secret you know who's a Jew who
looks at every Jew and loves him because
he's a Jew
just as he would he loves his own son
even if his own son is wayward
it's the rabbit shlita this was written
when the rebel was alive it's the rabbit
our
rabbits
is a Jew like this such like this
who loves
hashema with Mighty and great love the
whom it's
pain from the fact that the srina
kavioko is
and the rabbi has pain from the fact
that God is in pain that some of his
children are spiritually wayward and all
Jews are response
um
tries with all kinds of attempts his
status
to save another
Jewish
from the flow right from the from the
Rua from
of the Bad Evil Waters the flow and the
current of the bad Waters Nissan and he
attempts to bring them back
so if yoyo says to him I got news for
you friend there is one person that I
know that's me saying it's Liberation
there but my debit however that this and
ever again it doesn't mean to exclude
not an epis that he's writing to him you
know like brother to brother he's
criticizing that ever the saprix from
being the car after a shame is telling
him look at yourself you wouldn't feel
that way about your own son and what
actually is Aaron ever doing
he's having Mercy on God because God is
and he's helping Hashem in a way
Hashem has is in pain from the
non-observant people who who go against
him right and Hashem is in pain and what
is he doing he's schlepping them back
trying to bring the backup of this book
any comments or questions we'll stop
here
clear
this is this is the best safer I've ever
[Laughter]
this is a classic we have to thank
Maisha and Usher Usher his son I didn't
thank him yesterday he was the one who
arranged for another poker from the Rea
from the the kiriat uh what is it here
at God they learned the McDowell amick
the McDouble amen they brought he
brought back the tense for him you know
even though the you know they're packed
did me a favor did Usher fade over did
us a favor did Marsha favor and um I
thank you for uh giving us an
opportunity to learn you know that
usually our shiorim we get in the first
day five ten people that look at the at
the video you know I mean he had
yesterday so far 70.
wow I mean I wrote I wrote review's
response a refutation of the satmer
shita of anti-Semitism of anti-zionism
it was such a title you're gonna get a
lot of hits yes my
I was gonna say like we need you know
you mentioned before
to give example to someone in my charm
someone in Williamsburg he lives right
here and remember I don't want to say
Ramat
yeah like
I woke up this morning and I came on
brochure I was before I went to work my
daughter comes down she says Abba did
you hear the news I said what she said
the polling station the voting today
today's election oh right right yeah
that where she teaches in the Chabad
school elementary school in bed
she said some command came in and they
sprayed the whole place with like
the equivalent of what's the police use
for anti-ride sprayed it says this
horrible smell you can't be there
it's like like we
need it like we need this
we think we might we why should we we
need them to learn it right
okay but listen if six seven of us eight
of us ten of us learn it and coverage is
right
the word gets out the word gets out and
also and you have some extras for them
and I'll send more I have so many copies
in the basement you know if if people
you know those that want one you know
they they can't afford or they won't buy
it I'll give it 10 for free you know
though if you can get any of these
heaven to read the safer they got a free
copy
well you know when you were here from
adult and when you were here you
remember you went for Bank a couple
times Brown and base in bed yeah and
rather to destroy the mind yes right yes
so I'm curious if they would I'm curious
if he would uh
this would appeal to them I bet it would
it would the question is you know
they've been threatened over the Utah's
kiss live if any of the non-habbat
shrine work go in they threatened them
to lose their job that was you know when
I was there five six years ago so I I
don't know you would have you know what
I'm saying how much is Jane probably no
no no but no no no but for joining our
shoe
the previous administration didn't want
to put the copy in the show okay right
here not even Williamsburg why because
maybe someone will come in and he would
have came to a share of review and Tanya
or someone else and because of the safer
which kind of in their opinion you know
uh lambasts the satma rivers uh they
wouldn't come in said better not to have
it now my Administration changed at the
much more Chabad friendly and oriented
and open
put it in
so you never know maybe now if the years
they don't care about those people I
don't know so make sure you have to ask
them that's what else I can tell you
guys I have another Shear now zygas
don't see everyone tomorrow
I'm glad you're enjoying it get more
people to either see it online or join
us bye bye
