today we are actually going to learn in
the text yesterday I think we had a
great fabrangan like Easter likes to
call our uh learning my learning of my
marum yesterday was more of Abraham but
it was very important I don't see it as
of her bringing although it could be
used as a front ring and I see it as
really understanding some of the
background to the safer that we're
learning in which is very important
and we'll there'll be more of those uh
things that come up as we go along so
stay tuned don't give up so quick
hey last paragraph
says and if you'll say he's speaking to
this you know sad person and all that
Kevin the Sita of of not accepting the
non-religious Jew and calling them a
co-fare and a poshaya a sinner uh and a
Russia I don't like saying it so I hope
I don't have to repeat that many times
if you'll say keeping sure you do I say
yes
he says and if you'll say that since
there are proofs
that come from the cheetah
is
in other words he said before we all
said before the question is is the
argument that you present come from the
shita or does it come from the Torah
that's instead
from an emotional response and looking
and it wants the the he wants the the
reader to look at it from a an objective
perspective and he summarized it earlier
in the last two Sheeran that we had on
this
whether your your stance is it your
stick is it your shita is it
Williamsburg is it Le babic or is it
Toyota
and he says that's the barometer to test
if anything is Ms and true or it's your
own thing and even if it comes from
yoshita and your Reba and all that so be
it like he said who says you can't argue
with uh without without if you could
bring proof of the Tater and I gave a
whole share about about that what yes I
have an older friend an older friend
that became about you like in his 60s
60s or 70s yeah and he has a joke he has
a joke the joke is so what cult are you
part of are you part of the cult of it
you close to the spot here right right
exactly exactly so is is you know cult
is you know is is a very harsh word and
and you know I'm not going to go into
that you know what are the mechanics of
a cult I mean that's another discussion
Emmanuel
um who was a PhD in philosophy he spoke
a lot about this the the you know the
difference between a cult and he knew he
knew the coke business very well because
he that was one of his Specialties you
know to bring back Eden from Colts
versus ashita ashita now again
I'm not I'm not now a linguistic and
your English major to tell you well
that's what cult means maybe it does but
from from out from our Eternal
perspective there's a difference between
in my in my humble opinion between a
cult
and ashita okay uh in other words
ashita doesn't doesn't say beat up the
person or kill the person if if he
doesn't follow a hundred percent I'm not
talking about the life to her because
life's tar was more in line is more in
line with a cult yes I would agree but
even the satmer you know I don't and I
think the Couture Carta they weren't you
know to a point where if you don't
follow my way I'm gonna kill you no they
say just don't walk in May assure him in
a way that's against our standards you
know that they're not telling you that
you have to adopt their standards the
encounter argument that the streets
belong to the public not to you but you
know so in that way that Conquering the
streets so you could say well that's a
cult they you know in the street you
must walk that way okay but but so so
I'm saying it's a good joke I understand
it I've heard it many times trust me
just like you have but it's not
necessarily it's a cult it's a sheet
so the question is is this cheetah
I we and then we find support and Taylor
that's what Abuelo said we should look
at so now what
what is
well says
Mr gasserie a third thing Mr Goss but if
y'all doesn't want to say it here well
he did say the word sugar before he
didn't want to say it before but really
you know if the shita is I and we it is
it's your Michigan
but you understand there is Michigan
which is like there's no source for
Taylor
so we have three things I'm glad you
said the word Mission guys we have Mr
Goss which is totally no Torah support
one second insert
then we have a sheeta
which is
my own sheeta our own shita and then and
it has total support because I later
find Torah justification to justify what
I and we want to do and then there is
the third pure objective which is Torah
and from Torah it it develops into
Ishita yes yes sir
I wanted to say there's a there's an
expression that the difference between
ashita and ashuta is that a yid
that says my shita is the omnichita and
the shita picks the small yid and makes
him such a big toyot and turns into a
show cut oh that's a great word I never
heard it
that's worth a hundred bucks I might
make a two minute inspiration this week
from that word
that's great when did you hear that
recently or years ago
foreign
[Music]
whatever you're cutting in and out
another time let's continue inside
second line page Sadiq hey 95 last
paragraph second line
a true verb is a heap shooter the
response of yours says to know whether
it's like he only says
okay I will just like simplify with
those three categories
I've written before he says
those that have
um a preconceived that's what shita
kaduma means a preconceived shooter in
the parenthesis
that are taken from ideas from the
street
today is the flame as yard center right
the flame always said when they bothered
him they shepherd him he said
I could just tell you my music wasn't
taken from rock and roll and country in
the 50s in the 40s they're slamming made
up his own music
so all you big talkers with all your big
complaints most of your music
even till today is taking the you know
Foundation music okay if you then I
don't want to mention names but it's
it's a fact
I mean Abraham fried might be an
exception no he's actually not an
exception
you know Benny Friedman you know
whatever
in other words they they they're not
like some of the Israeli singers where
it's clear it's coming and even American
singers but anyway Slimer was Manish you
know was he made up his own
lyrics and own tool it's his original
so that's what it's saying is
your shita taken
from ideas from the street
you know he watched the founder the fans
are really and the fans over there the
50s and 60s that that show or the
Sullivan Show and he came up with a
creative idea and he put it into a story
or into a song
means that you're taking yoshita from
the street
call a spade a spade you're a great
personator and you know how to dress it
up but you know how to make it feel
Jewish
but
you Assad in its foundation
it's from the street and that's
something by the way as we develop and
grow ourselves and children and
grandchildren it's a very important the
Kuda when they ask what what in other
words what's so wrong to become you know
familiar with so many things that are
out there and this is one of the answers
the issue is whether whether later in
life will these issues
create for your your model and if it's
not a terror model it's not a turtle
model
so that's why there's a sensitivity to
to issues one second to issues of the
youth and that is why we have the
disagreements in the community you know
when children are young so the rapper
for example he'll that for example came
out with something that is no one else
is hardly anyone ever spoke about or
suggested children shouldn't see
pictures
of non-kosher animals
it's like it's unheard of but the rep
explained it he explained the word
rambang and explained that that there's
me this there's animals and birds and
that have bad midos and like the ramban
says and that's why some of them are not
Kosher I mean they're not Kosher because
Hashem says not Kosher but but it
happens to be that they you look at
their nature it's no good so why should
a child identify with a certain bird
that has a a not nice meter you know
that that is a kind of a far out type of
thinking but they never said that so a
lab amateurs you know adamant about it
and everyone else isn't that I
understand
but let's look at the the the the
um the the approach right this is what I
want to the approach is that since a
child is so young and impressionable
you want them to have my service to hate
us to have pure thoughts
so everyone knows about you know not
looking at things you're not supposed to
we teach our children that from youth
okay that we know right
but what about you know this no one
think of it right so in every Community
there is this I this this argumentation
what is considered
it's a very important parenthesis here I
feel ideas from the street
or their ideas from Tyler and that's
what the value and that says we as
parents and grandparents have that's the
barometer is what my son and daughter
are reading in school in college in high
school is
so for example another example that ever
wrote to Rabbi to Rabbi the Frida karaba
wrote to Rabbi hutner complimenting him
that high in Berlin in 1943-44 before
you and I were born he complimented him
for getting rid in high school of
certain books that had you know um
heresy ideas like Evolution and things
like that the age of the world
one second he was one of one of the only
rap on this Rabbi who later you know
didn't didn't feel great about Chabad
it's another story right
in four in the 40s he was tied with the
free that could ever ended up during the
40s and he listened to what the fleet
could ever said and the three capital
rights to Zalman garari hosted the
astrobe to get rid of moisha finds me
who had the Yeshiva that was involved
with Yeshiva in the Lower East Side the
same ship that exists today right
up your message Yeshiva and another
fukushi and Tara vadas to get them to
get rid of the same books in their High
School course
who else was thinking about that very
few people
but that's not the point that's not the
point my red but you're mistaken that's
not the point the point is that the the
question of right and what was that what
was the freedom campus idea he's not
telling you to close your high school
department no the Bible teaching about
high school department too is telling
you to read the books another example my
wife's grandfather
who was the first
to Australia to Melbourne open the
Yeshiva
my wife told me he learned he was a
Russian gate he learned himself English
well it was a very intelligent man and a
very thoughtful man and he would read
through every book that he that that the
school called for in their curriculum
in the bathroom although he read the
books again I don't know how many books
there were but you know he wanted to
make sure so this is something that's
that's alluded to in all this Hilo you
wanted to say something
I was just gonna offer myself up as a
cautionary Tale in this regard because
you know here I am kind of uh close to
70 and you play me Three notes from a
pop song from the 60s I can remember all
the words but I can't just remember a
paragraph of Torah that I just learned
two minutes ago you know yeah yeah
listen and and and I didn't grow up with
that but what I learned in my youth you
know
um some of that I remember and what I
learned now is it's like it's not that
way so so I relate to what you're saying
but and I've always told you of here you
know that in that eighth grade in that
eighth grade class when they when the
teacher brought in that uh song from
Frank Sinatra you know you those boots
are made for walking I'm here 60 61 I'm
going on 62 and I remember it you know
and we were not listening to uh to go to
rock and roll
so so I understand that who wants to say
something someone else wanted to say yes
or someone I don't know okay let's go
fight there yeah I remember
yeah yeah
yeah go ahead when
um
I remember that that in the Yeshiva
there was in the curriculum there was
evolution
and we were taught to just not look at
it literally just it was even if it's
going to be on the on the region right
if you're gonna fail yeah you need to
learn it okay Ricky it was in the book
right right right so I whatever I I
don't know if you know if the change I I
don't know go ahead Maisha
is interesting because uh in light of
the
um that piece that the New York Times
did not long ago but they really came
out oh
highly critical I mean okay putting
aside
New York Times their agenda not agenda
right but at peace that was you know
extremely critical you're talking about
you're talking about whether there Islam
and all that right a creator that that
piece he's talking about
times
sometime within the last
six weeks oh no I don't know what
they they came up with a huge article
um
being very critical of the results of
different
you know very from schools in the New
York area
in terms of like citizenship schools oh
oh yeah yes yes yes yes yes I know about
that yeah yeah for the first time they
even they published the whole thing part
of it was in Yiddish in the New York
Times
it's like a it's a big thing okay so
what what what's your point
well my point is that it's interesting
that when you're speaking about this
because
you have on the one hand
you have on the one hand probably School
certainly this time and still I'm sure
there are teaching things that it's or
could be very questionable what are they
teaching you know in terms of secular
studies the perspective who's teaching
ideas you know are they congruent with
Torah ideas
etc
etc and then you have at the same time
probably in a lot of schools
that they're probably teaching so little
or nothing
of secular studies yes
um let's let's uh it's a good point
let's leave that for another another
discussion it it's a good discussion
that we should have at some time I mean
it's Hashem
um because I do have what to say on it I
mean I'm sure you do too and uh it's
it's something but yes this this touches
on that and it could 100 percent
this touches on that and that and and um
that's what happened here right you know
you're kind of forcing me to get into it
because I'm passionate about it
it that's what happened over here what
happened over here and why it blew up is
in my humble opinion is because
we have extremists we have extremes
if we didn't have extremes
which was the you know the Yeshiva not
no longer but it was the Yeshiva in the
30s 40s 50s 60s that was the uh
all-inclusive Yeshiva and and you know
for everyone
I'm not talking about
no but but yeah in the 40s 50s also so
never had an issue as far as I know they
never had an issue and things flowed to
Yeshiva which started in 40 and 46 and
and I attended in the 60s and 70s we
never had an issue I went to high school
I remember in our history course the the
teacher yet spoke about Hinduism of
Buddhism I remember I remember like you
know it was the first time I never heard
of those things in in my in my in my
Terror classes and I asked and I was
told you know some of it's about the
Zara and you know and I asked why we do
why are we being taught that and it was
told wasn't this a part of the course
and and just don't you know you only
said before they told them you know to
figure not read it in our case they said
you know just go on don't make you know
don't don't predicted to the teacher you
understand
he was a second I remember his name Mr
Pollock I hope he's still alive he was a
you know a Jew wasn't religious nice guy
and it did his job so what you do throw
eggs at him for teaching us about
Hinduism
you know this was the history course
you know I remember I went to to my
principal and he said listen I can tell
you to go to high school your father
wants you to go you have a mix with keep
with that Fame you go to high school if
this is the course you know and then you
you use your brains in other words
what's happened Moishy is that it became
a a an extreme an extreme alitalra the
laboratory School the you know the today
which is the main schools and chronic
with the two sectors on Eastern Parkway
right they they started 1956 and the
reper spoke that about not teaching
children secular studies until the age
of nine and I've explained that a
child's mind is pure and you want you
know like Kayla said you remembers
everything so you want the first nine
years they should get it all Tyran
kadusha and then later
so the Babaji Shiva my Yeshiva
we did learn English in elementary
so came along
Russian Obama series I knew him and he
said I'm gonna do it with the way the
rapper said and I the rabbit's
brother-in-law is doing it with the
Russians of the previous Rabbi that he
has English that's that's his issue it's
not my I don't have to he made Yeshiva
for everybody it's true the power
Yeshiva started for everyone not just
for the barbecules we have mostly not
the babbages do you know that Ali
Yeshiva the BBQ Shiva had most of the
boys in the 40s and 50s
and even going to the 60s when Alibaba
just my uncle who you know who went
there he didn't have a beard that a lot
of guys didn't have beards I didn't want
to go you know so my cousin
was in my class
you know it was a you know who came from
a Bells at home but you know he wasn't
the father I'm not sure had a beard I
don't think he had a beard right anyway
at the beginning was life so the point
is
that's good for you guys I want all
parasaki this is called all Purity no
English
for fledgling Yeshiva today it has 2 000
students in the entire campus and it's
the the Yeshiva Bastion of khabar today
is only Taylor right so they took over
they didn't learn English how did they
get away I don't know when the thought
but what I'm saying is they they kept
things in a way where I'm sure as Chabad
to see them they want they they use
their Seiko
they use their Seiko and I don't know
the particulars you know when how but
when you when you when you just say it's
my way and you're taking money from the
government you see that's a big
difference
than everyone else you you your mom is
taking millions of dollars out of the US
government and you don't follow their
their rules and then you have some x
what happened over here a guy master and
and a few others open an organizer
called yaphed
um and they decided to snitch on the
yeshivas and they said that the reason
why we are not religious today and the
reason why we were failures until we
became not religious and started a new
life is because of you not teaching us
English and I actually heard this from
some of these people over the years
blaming the Yeshiva because they didn't
teach English they were Goofs goof offs
and they would were outcasts and they
had to restart their life and of course
that meant not being religious and
therefore they're getting back now with
the yeshivas because they feel the
yeshivas are ruining and hurting
children
so a you know vertical it's very best
too who are you what are you sticking
your noses who asked you no because they
have they have an ax to grind but at the
same time
I I if you take such such adversity you
deal with it
maybe I'm not I'm not sure because if
someone is you know out to get you
they're going to go all the way but but
maybe you could have what's the word I'm
looking for you could have um placated
thank you placate it you know muster and
companies if you if you give them some
room and that and that's what it's all
about I'm not sure what I'm saying is
give room give room okay some of the
ideas are merakai from the street
I understand so what can we eliminate
what can we keep let's sit down and work
this out
but when you go with an extreme both
extremes no nothing at all or everything
must be you're not going to win and
that's
a rule in life
extremism breeds extremism
and that's what you have Fallout issues
at the same time you have success
in other words extremism if you Sadler
is so large every time I think about it
it's I can't wrap my head around it they
own the city New York they own it
easy
got up yesterday and you read it on here
it's online the one who who said you
should vote for huckle versus zeldon
right
I write him and he got up and he
defended it and he basically said haha
he didn't say haha I got you guys she
won and guess what he didn't say this
and my pocketbook my community is gonna
get lots of money
you guys were the frummies zeldon
huckle's a Democrat and baby she wants
school English in the schools
now you have it so he's gonna be he's
walking away my pocket's gonna get
stuffed my yeshivas will have whatever
they want
and you guys are left and I'm the king
he'd have to come to me
this is you don't he doesn't say that
but I'm just telling you so so
so what did he do he he played he played
you Seiko so you'll say well that's not
a Torah approach
it is and it isn't if you talk at doing
it with a richest with a self and ego
it's not but if you're doing it because
you know you need to
compromise somewhere and you need to
placate and again I'm not saying that
he's right and that's the to saying the
idea so that's when you say better is
one of your rights was in his thinking
kind of an extremist you know in other
words is it a tire away or not but even
if you don't go to that extreme this is
an important quality
to for every issue in life if you want
to know in business
story I've told you my friend calls me
one day we used to learn Tanya Midtown
Manhattan together he calls me says
Rabbi dolphin thank you for learning
with me Tanya so I say I'm scheduled to
come to you tomorrow you could have you
could you could have told me thank you
face to face why are you calling me up
on the phone he says because I just came
out of a business meeting and he's in
life insurance and I had an ethical
question whether it should be done or
not and it was about a lot of money and
I didn't know what to do and all of a
sudden it hit me
what would the pain in me do
and that's how we answer this question
and then I realized who taught me about
the baby out to that but through our
learnings I'm saying to you thank you
for pushing teaching me Tanya and I
should be able to integrate it into my
thinking so in my business I'll know
what the pain would do and whatever he
did he did I don't know
my point is well it's like not sounds
like that would be a great bumper
sticker
the point is that you know
yeah you know you if a person is himself
an Emerson mention a Toyota Mensch
is going to make a decision regardless
of how much money it it's involved here
that it can benefit is it ethical or not
and if it concludes that it's not
ethical and obeying me of Kanye meaning
is really the ultimate Jew that the
ultimate Jew would not do this because
it's not in spirit of God it doesn't do
it regardless of how much money and how
much Fame you just don't do it and it's
not easy it's not an easy thing because
the Temptation is very great whether
it's money whether it's Fame whatever it
is it's a it's something that abuel
would talk to us about this in Yeshiva
in this fabrangians and not more
emotional words and you know but more in
intellectual thought but this is
something that it created in us to think
to to change our thinking to think this
way don't think money don't think Fame
don't think honor don't think think I
think God think tighter think Ms and
that's the barometer
camera you got a second for bringing
no no it's a lot to think of like a lot
lots of think on what you just said all
right
it's it's not so push it but it's good
it's good to think about it exactly and
hopefully to implement yes Maisha
yeah I just want to say would you just
remember the room you just said
that sounds like a true
you know it's it's it sounds and it
smells healthy
as opposed to when you were describing a
few couple minutes ago about the samurai
right what you said right like it just
that it's like it didn't it did not
smell it just doesn't sometimes you know
something yeah yeah right but my
that was my that was my right but my
shirt that was my spin on the South
River what he was saying you know he I'm
just
that's all
okay okay this I'm all I'm just saying
is that it's just such a you know
sometimes you can this is this is
something I I ever since I began to do
the moment I started to become the more
observant
I was was I was on witness test when I
when I heard the little someone was
speaking when I saw what someone was
doing but I saw how they behaved how
they looked it it was like does it does
it
does it feel like it's true there's an
element is it real or did something just
didn't smell right right you know you
know
I conclude one story that I've told you
but again worth mentioning
there was a hostage
risen there's a Chabad family the
drizzen family
so the the grandfather great-grandfather
was he learned in the Babbage and you
know and he was accustomed and he knew
how to learn a lot he's a partial for
himself and he was a stick of my Spear
of mine I had this course he came to my
work and I heard a lot of things from
him and I've shared things anyway
so he what I heard what I'm telling you
now I heard from rabbi
foreign
I think in Queens
he is a Lakewood and partnovich student
he himself comes from
uh so you know he's a big mix he's a big
comic and he's a nice person and I would
we would he lives here a few blocks away
and 11 12 at night many times we would
talk a half an hour an hour and and I
heard things from him which which I I
appreciated so
so he told me once that above rum came
to Lakewood
mayor was related to Robert schwarzman
Rebel Schwartzman was the son-in-law
before the divorce to Aaron Cutler's
daughter
right okay
it's a whole story about the divorce not
now maybe never because it's not not uh
whatever
the battle was a yid from Neville from
Russia you know with the babadook see
them at 16 St block so this was like
Lubavitch town you know and they were
simple they were known as that
um butchers
they weren't but they were so
heartfelt Laboratories with a little
mushka and a Negan and A Tear this was
like
in in its best you know in it they used
to say from the time of the middle
around but we say hallelucca the navel
the Rhino right in the hallaluka praise
Hashem with the harps so the receiving
would save from the time of the middle
of
hallelucca benevil
praise for God comes from our city
Neville
okay
so if you you might hear in Chabad even
today
I'm from Neville I come from never see
them I mean that was like spits you know
oh this is where
anyway you know The Real McCoy not the
Chabad BTS I don't mean BTS you know
even us who are from you know from
families considered for 151 years but we
weren't khabab they were pure Chabad 150
years anyway
so
um in a battle schwadsman was a relative
to rababra they were related so I
brought my yard had more of a pass in
Lakewood besides that he was older and
he knew about a bear and he knew the
rugged shover and he knew he knew the
doctor slap but he knew them all and he
spoke to them you know in those days
there wasn't the you know the spoken
learning he almost went to slavotkin so
he was a universal figure and related to
to to to the cutlers and to Lakewood so
he had it in so he was once for bringing
I think it was in the sukkah in a sukkah
this is what the rabbi gansui tells me
he was bringing in the soccer
must have been 100 200 people there A
lot of people a lot of heaven and
they're listening and you know he would
take Moscow he was a real Russian Geet
and he could take a good drink and he
was animated and he would speak and cry
and talk and and he said and he said he
said you guys are listening to me here
right yeah because if I bring it he says
you probably think I want to make you
into a barbecue because that's always
the you know hey what's all about what
you're thinking about to become khabab
become the Babbage you know no that's
that's an old an age-old accusation
sometimes there was some truth to it but
the rebellion was not that way of
ramayana was not that way frankly I'm
not that way and and there are many that
are not that way you know just whatever
so he says no no
