SERIES PREMIERE Torat HaChassidut - The Tzetel Katan

we're back after a long break uh we're dealing with some health issues thank you for everyone for the prayers and the uh all the nice things that you guys did I appreciate it will give us the strength to continue teaching and learning and continue bringing on slide closer and closer to tonight we are starting a new series after completing the Monumental work of the uh Jewish ashfa series of four and a half years uh where we learning the T the Kish we uh decided that it's uh time to start a uh new series uh that has to do with uh and uh the reasoning behind it is very uh deep and we will discuss it uh but tonight sh is going to be and the whole series will be for the and SAR Sarat Lana umad Ben Lana ysep Ben Lana AI David Ben IM and all of is all the righteous Noah that continue to support our organization and do all the wonderful things to help us continue helping get closer to there's been many many different tests over these last several weeks uh even beyond the scope of uh this this Shu uh but knows we did everything we could to withstand the tests and I'm sure that many of you are also having tests during this time because we're seeing that the mid the uh the measure of judgment is in the world right now and uh as the prophet tells us the prophet Zaria tells us that uh at the end of days aside from uh the uh you know the U the war and the Anarchy and the craziness that's going to happen in the world where there's uh going to be all types of uh enemies of the Torah uh showing their true face all types of things will happen in the world one of the things that is also going to do is that he's going to test every single person to see who's really with hem and who's not who's going to fold who's going to fold under the pressure and who's not and this is a time where we're seeing literally across the board myself the the family R frim the team uh everybody's having both hasem big tests big tests and uh also big successes along the way uh and uh one of the things that uh brings on a uh a lot of attention from the uh a lot of attention from the Satan that really wants to fight you is when you do kiru when you help people do chuva and even more so when you help people do Chua by helping them abandon heresy meaning there is different levels of chuva there's different types of people that have to do Chua some people have to do chuva for everything where they pretty much don't keep any to they don't keep Shabbat they don't keep K they don't keep you know family Purity you know they don't keep anything that's like a blank piece of paper uh that's unfortunately usually missing all of the information and you just have to fill in the uh fill in the blanks you have to help those people and many times they're very very interested uh because they don't really know anything and uh you just got to fill in the blanks and as soon as you fill in the blanks you see that this person starts to Blossom starts to really become something very very special you know helping those types of people is my favorite why because everything is new everything is new to them everything is wonderful everything is exciting they're usually uh you know very emotional about it and it's very exciting to help people like that sometimes they're converts sometimes they're brand new uh to Judaism altogether even though they've been Jewish their whole life you know but in generally there are some people that are like that that are blank piece of paper uh and those are usually uh not easy but they're easier than others to help them do Chua then there are others that uh simply have fallen for the Satan's trap uh and have uh filled in the blanks with all types of heresy and idol worship uh either that came from the missionaries of Christianity or came from the atheists uh or came from you know the scientists atheists all of the different types of uh you know uh people that think that they know better than God or people that have created a new God you know and they created a new religion whatever you want to call it and those types of people you have to really erase some of the information correct some of it you know you have to have you have something to work with uh but you have a lot more work to do now there are others that are perhaps more difficult than uh any of them and those are the ones that are uh off the meaning they used to be religious they used to be religious and uh then they read something they saw something they experienced something uh that uh really threw their uh life upside down whether it was a bad rabbi or a bad marriage or bad decision whatever it was that got them to not only abandon but got them to Simply go completely the opposite way completely secular he used to be Aid with peot now he lives in Tel Aviv with a bunch of guys and uh pretty much he's acting as if he's a bachelor even though he's got a wife and you know six kids so unfortunately these things happen also those are very difficult people to deal with very very difficult to deal with because uh they feel like they know they feel like they know they feel like they saw and usually they don't know and they didn't see now those first three cases are ones we've dealt with and ones both we've succeeded with uh and there are is one that is I believe the most ignored problem in the world today and in fact the most difficult which is the fourth case the fourth case is helping the religious Heretics religious Heretics that means people that they wake up in the morning and they go to synagogue the men put on their tein they put on their keeper some have a beard some don't have a beard the women are generally modest more or less at least they believe they are in many cases they are some cases a little work needs to be done to to improve that modesty but nonetheless they're living a FR life they're living a FR life and in fact they're living a life which they believe is meaning it's not only a FR life it's something that according to the definition it's supposed to be above and beyond the traditional FR means you do above and beyond what you're obligated to do you're even better you're even more committed to Hashem than someone that is just doing the standard which again this is a it's not an obligation to be a but certainly it's praiseworthy those are the most difficult cases why would that be the most difficult case because while there are some of the greatest people on planet Earth and throughout all of history that we're going to learn about them we there were the teachers there were the students that were part of unfortunately there are some that are in the world ofid for all intents and purposes they live a life that looks like it's for the people who don't really know what is but their ideology and belief system is as far away from as you can possibly be in fact their ideology is 100% heretical meaning they are in a worse category than the vast majority of the Jewish world because even somebody that's a blank piece of paper who doesn't know anything can have many different excuses of why he doesn't know he grew up in a kibuts he never learned anything he doesn't really even know the basics of the uh of the Torah where the par what's the first par what's the last Paras he doesn't really know what you're supposed to do uh you know before uh before you eat after you eat doesn't know anything he has many excuses for why he is the way he is but the one that lives a life that more or less thinks he's Aid in fact even teaches what he thinks is that person when he has heretical beliefs and he is in a position where according to the rambam he cannot be counted in aan he is in a very very troubling situation and the biggest reason why is because when you tell him or her that their beliefs are heretical when you tell him or her that according to the Torah they are part of the enemies of God rather than the Servants of God they look at you as if you are an alien and then they rationalize in some cases they take the the the rebuke and they investigate and they realize that yes perhaps they have to change but in many cases they look at you as if wait a minute oh now I know why you're saying that you're a mned you are part of the longstanding M between theid and the LV theim the the Lish you are part of that M you're just continuing what the enemies of the B the enemies of the the enemies of all of the great the and and all of the great ones you're just continuing that battle oh now we understand you're the enemy meaning instead of you being someone is trying to help him you've now turned into the enemy now how could this be how could it be that you go out there and try to help people and they call you the enemy now of course if you are the enemy then certainly they're right but if you're not how could how could you be so far away from where they are how could that be over the last decade we've learned a lot of toat together we've learned the foundations of the each Paras we've learned many things in regards to the uh the sages we've learned many things in regards to the m where's the foundation of mus whether it's or it's a the uh all types of things and from time to time we've also brought teachings from across all spectrums of a tah whether it be the simple Pat meaning that you find from Rashi and the rest of the commentators the the basics of the or you go even into the midash and give you all types of wonderful stories and even at times we've delved into the mystical and Supernatural perhaps some of the most favorite uh you know shim people have enjoyed have been the ones that have had the mystical and the Supernatural and even once in a while we've delved into now so long as we've agreed with what the mainstream have said generally We've Been Loved by the public as well as their rabbis but the moment that we started saying things that the sages teach that mosu taught us that all of is taught but it conflicted with what the mainstream teachings has become then the people continue to love but as soon as they told their rabbis some of the rabbis didn't love like and then you find out that usually those rabbis that didn't like have a common denominator and that common denominator is that they were part of those group of group of that have a heretical ideology an ideology that denies the 13 principles of Faith an ideology that denies reward and Punishment an ideology that according to all including their own rabbis is problematic and any time we would try to discuss it again the common response would be you are not Aid and therefore you don't understand so this has been perhaps one of the most frustrating things to deal with but anytime somebody tells me that I am not something and I don't know anything generally speaking I'm not really overly concerned because I'm not really basing anything any of the teachings on my knowledge I learned with one of I learned with a giant that learned that learned many many times has written over 50 books has learned the has learned countless times I I I'm learning with people that are giants in Tora so I don't have to worry about my little bit of knowledge I have to obviously rely on much much greater knowledge than I could ever consume so when they say I don't know okay fine I don't know but you still can't tell me that he and he and he and all of these giant they also don't know and you can't tell me that the ram doesn't know and and doesn't know and the doesn't know andu doesn't know and doesn't know and doesn't know and nobody knows except you so then you start seeing wait a minute hold on a second what is why are you saying we don't know why do you assume we don't know oh because you're not Aid well how do you know I'm not Aid is there like a stamp that I'm supposed to have on my shirt that says if not if you if that is then maybe I have it under how do you know I don't on the other hand whether I'm a or I'm not a why do I need to be a in order to know how to read why do I need to be a in order to know what the basics of the Torah I mean the world of Judaism is much bigger than but unfortunally these types of debates would be to really to no avail they would get nowhere because there's a mentality out there that has an explanation for everything it has an explanation for everything and by everything I mean all of the heretical statements made by the Manis fredman company and the others that have been unfortunately very very popular in the world of the English speakers and unfortunately are infecting the Hebrew speaking world today and one of the things that you're seeing is that it's infecting the masses and changing people's ideology where all of a sudden people start believing the nonsense that God actually needs anything even though it is literally contrary to the now we're not going to repeat that whole argument again we've done it enough and B we're working on a few things that will come out very soon including a letter from our bedin also signed by the chief danan uh in uh in Israel and in the world today uh alongside some other great that will show exactly what is about the the heresy of Manis fredman and his and his followers but nonetheless we have to address the bigger problem which is this whole concept of what is what is it now if I were to tell you what I thought based on my ideas you shouldn't accept it why well I'm not one of the founders of I'm not one of the forefathers of but if I were to tell you what theim that founded taught accepted as their Foundation then it would behoove you to accept every word and in fact there is no other way because without these foundational teachings there is no now of course everyone knows that kid did not start 400 years ago with the B is already something that the Torah itself speaks about it's just simply put it is doing more than the basic minimum obligation which the basic minimum if one were to achieve it they would become a because the basic minimum in Judaism is still an enormous amount of servitude of your creator but needless to say there are some that want to do even more they love hem they want to show their love of hem and their appreciation of hm and their servitude of hem and they do even more and therefore from the time of mosu and it's mentioned in the mishna in thear and of course throughout all the last couple of Millennia it's discussed all of the different great that have done above and beyond the requirement and have certainly achieved the highest levels ofid but approximately I would say 350 years ago was rebranded if you will where you had the bov is the bring to the Forefront of Judaism in such a fashion that it was The Cure before the ailment that was about to hit the Jewish world because about a 100 years after the bmov came to the world maybe a little bit more than that unfortunately the enlightenment movement came to the world as well reform came to the world the zionists came to the world all of the heretical teachings of the Enlightenment movement came to the world and infected Judaism especially European Judaism with such heresy that you needed to reawaken the public reawaken the Jewish world but in a different way than you did before because they just left traditional Judaism they just left the foundational teachings we've had for the last few thousand years and bringing them back with the same tools apparently wasn't working with some of them and therefore was utilized and still is today to bring the heart out of every Jew and take it and put it into the Torah in a time where unfortunately many people have turned into robots where they may or may not be practicing the MIT but in a very heartless fashion so now the TMI tells us that any time you learn about a or teaching of a you should imagine that standing right next to you and watching everything you say making sure that what you're saying in his name is true is correct is how he would say it how he would do it now in order to do that one has to know who the is needs to have some type of a mental visual some type of image in their mind not necessarily whether it's a beard or or it's a hat but rather the Nish of this has to be in your mind in order for you to truly appreciate whose wisdom you're teaching now started as I said with the bmov but the bmov didn't live forever the bmov knew that in order for his teachings to continue flourishing and to impact the entire Jewish world he needs to have he needs to have loyal followers that will be also teachers and one of the places that he came to to where he started in a place that today is known as Ukraine he went to a certain place where he saw that there's a over there by the name of RAB do later known as the mid of mesich R do the mid of mesich was paralyzed was not able to walk but it was very committed to the Torah and the bov saw apparently through KES the spark of his that he is the perfect is the perfect teacher that's required for the bm's to continue to flourish the problem was the wasn't exactly on the same page one day the bmov invites the m to the mid to come see him and he comes and the B asks the mid you see here there's a seph this seph is the is the teachings that V wrote in the name of his the this is like the talmud of the cabala you know we have we have the talud we have for for the Mish for the oral Tora the talud of the cabal isph extraordinarily deep seph only for the few Among Us that have learned all of the basics all of the foundationals have literally gotten to the point where you have got to a established state enough where you have the permission to even learn the because otherwise you're simply wasting time you're not going to understand anything and that's is in the hand of the and he hands it to the he says tell me what it says over there explain to me theat the simple meaning of what it says b looks at it for a few moments analyzes it just like the do they don't just shoot from the sleeve analyze it takes his time and then he tells the bov what theat meaning of that teaching was bov looks at him and says seems like you don't know what you're talking about okay well perhaps let me look at it again let me review it again and I'll tell you well maybe I made a mistake he looks at it for a little longer reviews every word then he goes back to the go I'm sorry to tell you but what I said is that that is what the meaning is theat over here is what I said perhaps the rabbi understands something differently and you can teach me and show me why I'm wrong but this is what I understand here the B tells the stand up stand up you're talking about person that's about to receive a different level of Torah the bov starts reading out loud what is written in the which also included certain names of certain malim and as the bov reads this Torah fire of Heaven comes into the room and encompasses them surrounds them and then the angels as he says the names of the Angels come down and join them this type of Tor is not the type of Tor ever saw before after teaching him this the B says to him of course what you said theat that you said was correct but it was missing the fire it was missing the heart it was missing the soul of the Torah you were teaching it in such a fashion where you know one + 1 is two and that's it we're missing the fire of T the excitement of Tor and that's what I want to teach you I want to teach you this is the Torah of the heart it's taking the heart of the Jew and bringing it into the tah not just reading things superficially now of course there were some that saw the dedication of the B of in teaching the and said why you spending so much time with him I mean he's paralyzed where could he possibly go with your teachings you're making it as if he's going to be the uh one that teaches the world your teachings and the BM said he may be paralyzed with his legs but he will get the rest of the the world to follow him and yes he will continue my teachings and that's exactly how it was continued the teachings of the bov and from him the different parts ofid broke off into the world of course you have the grandson of the bov of bre he took on part of theid but you also had the first talim the key of the were Rin and his brother R Ani now Rin and rusa there are literally no end to the stories about them and each one of the stories similar to the stories of the bmov they're full of Miracles they're full of Wonders they're full of righteousness they're full of things that simply if you don't have the Jewish heart the Jewish spark within you it's impossible for you to accept them at face value this what what was what was happening at that same time you see the enlightenment movement the movement of the Heretics the movement of the atheists the movement of the Communist that came into the world that infected the Jewish world and the World At Large what it was trying to do until this day is removing the supernatural removing the mystical saying that you have to only look at things from a rational point of view a point of view that is easy to digest things that you can prove and in so many words removing half of the Torah from itself because if you look at the Torah from the first page until the last page you're going to find Miracles and Supernatural in every single sentence there is nothing natural about it everything is Supernatural and that's what the ramban writes in anyone that says that there is a no Miracles or that every single thing that happens in the world is not a miracle has no share of the Tor of M everything is a miracle everything is Supernatural the fact that you got used to it the fact that you're acclimated to a blue sky even though it has no color to Blue Water even though it has no color to all of the different extraordinary things that are part of your day-to-day life you've become acclimated to it it doesn't mean that it's not Supernatural and of course when a person is told stories of people changing nature changing what is already Supernatural what is already something that you shouldn't expect and changing that even further further whether it's the fires in the room and Angels coming and people flying or all types of things happening if a person doesn't have that Jewish spark if that person doesn't have that faith in the world of T in these great in for them it's impossible to accept now I must admit as I've said in previous years when I first started learning to I was one of those where I had no problem accepting the Torah what I read if you told me hasem created everything from nothing I had no problem accepting it you told me that Hashem split the sea I had no problem he told me that all types of things happen at the time of mosu that was Supernatural I had no problem but once you told me that these similar things and more even happened many years after mosu where Supernatural things were done by what seems like ordinary men that's when I had a problem it didn't make sense to me if you told me Moses flew in the air I had no problem told me Abu walk through fire I had no problem but if you told me the is teaching us the Torah of of the of um of the GNA and he is saying in the name of his Rabbi that the GNA had Angels knock on his door every day begging him to learn toah from him him and he's saying no all of a sudden I'm confused wait a minute why are they going to him why aren't they coming to me I need it aside from that why is he saying no I'm confused and only after delving further and further into the Torah do you start finding yourself surrounded by Miracles where you realize that this is not one story this is not one Rabbi this is not one one place it's literally everywhere and even the things you thought you knew about the Torah itself are nothing in comparison to the infinite amount of other details you did not know that are much more significant much more Supernatural and you realize that without the supernatural without the mystical without the clarification that everything is simply Supernatural and there is nothing that's beyond the hand of a and if he puts the on one of his righteous servants he literally gives them the ability to do things that are not things that regular people do and you start realizing that the Supernatural is standard among the Jewish people now now the stories ofin are full of that but before we get into what he taught we have to first understand who he is what he stands for since we understand that the r and his brothera there were third generation of you have the and then and his brother so we're talking about this is the foundation these are the forefathers of and although there is not an enormous amount of writings fromin there's the which is significant SE going over different parts of the Torah you also have these shorter writings that when they were discovered they were also added to the foundation of one of them is the one that this entire series is based on it's called is a very short teachings by of linsk that means a short note or a small note but this small note is not so small after all in fact once a person reads it studies it understands the magnitude of it they'll realize that there is nothing small about it in fact it's already a big deal that we got this far and the teachings of are considered by all without exception as the foundational teachings foundational principles of now is not something that somebody could just simply claim to be just because they wear certain clothing they wear stal they they they have a beet that doesn't make you a that just means you own certain types of clothing is a lifestyle is a way that you serve a and the more one learns about the the more they'll understand which path they're really on and really while this series is going to address at first all of those people that say oh we don't understand it's going to address that but more importantly it's going to help everyone understand what is what is it what do I need to believe what do I need to do by the end of this series some will be disappointed some will be excited but everyone will know exactly where they stand when it comes to being on the path of or not because this is what is now today there's a lot of confusion about what is some have turned into dancing they dance around they dance in the middle of the street they dance in the synagogue they dance everywhere and they believe that this isid some have turned into drinking they're simply alcoholics that use as the excuse for their drinking habits they have the different names for it the F brain or whatever other names they'll use or or or or ways that they'll drink and again you're allowed to drink at certain times at certain places certain quantities but when your entire belief system has turned into that you are as far from being Aid as a non-jew is from being a Jew is not about dancing is not about drinking and certainly kasid is not about this new world philosophy that has infiltrated the Jewish world today where they're starting to teach you all types of philosophical ideas that remove the foundational principles of the tah especially the ones that have to do with reward and Punishment and they teach you these ideas and they say this is all part of because even the great like the said himself on his own writings on his own writings on his own on his life's work on what the entire world of breast stands on and many other parts of stand on said you can bend any of my teachings if you like as much as you want as long as you don't bend even one in the meaning you want to manipulate my teachings of say this change that do what you want as long as whatever you're doing is not going to change the Jewish book of laws that all of is accept which is the the moment you violate the you're not only not following you're not following Judaism and this is one of the most important things that a person needs to know in order to be Aid the minimum of minimum is that you have to be a Jew that follows the entire that follows all of the foundational principles of our Torah without that your does not even begin now some of the great that you'll hear about throughout history are the different adim we had you had the of the of alter of that ofos all of these great sikim were in a circle because the ADM of Kos was actually the rabbi of both of them he was the the ad of was his main one of his main tal and AD was a son-in-law now of menel of Kos was a ish KES genius gaon with an extreme mid of to such an extent that he literally could not tolerate even an ounce of of Sher in anything one time the Ador of spoke about his father-in-law and he says I merited to learn from my father-in-law that Mo of Kos but I only merited he was a genius himself to understand only a little bit of his huge amount of Torah that he had but without with all of that Torah he had an enormous amount of Emit and that's why when he have some of the stories about that Mo of Kos without knowing how much of a righteous and a genius he was it doesn't always add up so you need to know a little bit more of both on one end genius goon different parts of in the world today exist because of him on the other end you're also going to hear stories of different interactions he had with his one time one of hisim came to him and told him showed him under his shirt that he's wearing a sack in order to show to the rebi that he is mourning the destruction of the bet mikdash but that Mo of knew this talid and knew that this is not 100% true and responded with a rebuke same to him ah I see that the yet has caught you good this time he put you in a sack meaning he didn't get excited by people's craziness by people's fake zealousness where unfortunately that's not a new thing today it's always been people try to portray that they're zealous that they're Servants of hem because you know with their exterior with their with the way that they look the way they dress certain words they say but of course a rebi always knows who's really Aid and who's a faker another time the ad of came into his bet mid and he saw all of these was sitting there and he started rebuking all of them what are you doing all here all you do here is just you come you eat you drink what kind of are you you're and he started literally rebuking them roaring at them to the point where they all got so scared they all ran out except one guy that Mo came to him goes and you you're Aid you and the little kid said yes Rabbi you Aid he said yes I'm sorry Rabbi but the page 17A says somebody that cuts their nails and throws them on the floor is a he's a wicked person why because there is a mystical nature to it there a schoa here that if a pregnant woman walks over that nail she could actually have a miscarriage so he cares less about anybody just throws it out he could hurt somebody he's a rash but somebody that takes his nails and buries them he's a sadik CU he doesn't want anybody to get hurt by them but someone that takes his nails and burns them he's a I burn my nails Rabbi that Mo ofos smiled at the Young and said okay you're the only one then you're the only then the question is why why is that make somebody a that he burns the nails is that all you need you don't need to spend 10,000 on a hat you don't need to spend a few thousand on a jacket you don't need to grow a beard to be a that's it you just need to burn your nails no takes obviously a lot more than that but the question is still why is burning the nails part of obviously it's above and Beyond you can't just throw your nails on the floor that's understandable because it's part of our part of our understanding that this has a negative effect on the world it could actually harm somebody so throwing it out in the garbage flushing it in the toilet certainly these are things that are good things to do but burning them makes somebody a why before we get to that we also have to know that the ADM of was such a KES with emit that one of his famous votes was that the teachings that we've all heard at least once a year on where the page 59a says that after the destruction of the BET mikdash all of the Gates of Heaven were closed except the Gate of Tears that's not closed and AD of asked the genius question well if they're never closed then why are there Gates it's a simple question and you always you're thinking to yourself right now why didn't I think of it if they're always open then why do you even have Gates I mean if somebody has an open door policy in his house where pretty much it's a you can just go in and out whenever you want 24 hours a day seven days a week why even have a door so that asked that about sh why have a door if it's always open the question is genius the answer is even more that Moos says it's because not all of the tears are real tears there are some tears of liars there are some fake tears tears where somebody cries but it's a fake crier they're crying about nonsense they're crying fake cry they're not really crying for AEM they're not really crying for something significant and for those those fake tears the gates close for them the gates are always open for real tears not fake tears don't think that just because you cry you're going to fool your creator so the depth of every single statement that the adim said went into the heart of man and the more you learn the the more you understand really the flaws within man and the potential now the question still is what is the need for it why do you need why do you need isn't the standard following the Torah doing the mitv enough well it is enough you wake up in the morning say thank you to Hashem for giving you another the day you relieve yourself say thank you to Hashem for giving me a body that works you eat say thank you to hem for giving me food before and after you eat you pray to hasem three times a day at least if you're a man once a day at least if you're a woman your entire week is based on Shabbat everything is always looking and at Shabbat how far is Shabbat from us Shabbat is five days away four days away three days away Shabbat is almost here your whole life is is about Judaism your whole life is about Torah every second if you're from Jew every second of your day is it's connected to some type of mitvah or another so why do you need well can certainly help a person person bring out their heart and and bring out their feelings in a certain tasks that they've become accustomed to to the point where they've become robotic they've become so accustomed to their prayers that we're all guilty of it that sometimes you're praying and you're just going through the motion you're just saying the words but you're not reading into it you're not even feeling it some sometimes a person can get so far away from the goal that they're literally looking forward to finishing the prayer if I to tell you listen you have a meeting set up with the one person that can change your life let's say you're in the business world you're looking for a contract you're looking for a deal you're looking for an investment and I tell you listen I have a guy that's the perfect investor for you it's the guy that you've always dreamed about getting an investor from him he is interested in what you do he's knowledgeable in what you do and he's willing to give you some time for you to present your opportunity now you're of course going to be as excited as can be this is no different than winning the lotto you're going to prepare for this you're going to think about this you're going to recite your speech practice it and at the moment of truth when you're in front of this potential life Cher you're going to want as much time as possible you're not even going to waste a minute drinking the coffee that he offers you or water all of a sudden you're not thirsty even though literally your your throat is so dry you're thinking that maybe of turning it into a desert but you don't want to waste the time that you have drinking a cup of water drinking a coffee you want to present your your pitch you want to present your idea you want to get this investor you want to get this job so you start talking you talk and you talk and you look forward for a response and the worst thing that could ever happen to you at that moment is if they tell you I'm sorry but I have to cut this meeting short I have something else to do that's more important I have something else that's priority so we have to cut this short the worst thing that could happen your whole world will feel like it's collapsing especially if you've prepared for this thing for days in and days out this was your life's goal to finally get this meeting you're in front of this person you're telling them everything some things are coming out exactly like you planned other things are the opposite of what you planned but you keep going and you're excited about it and you pick up everything that you broke and you keep doing whatever you can but the worst thing that could happen is if he tells you I'm sorry I got to go now and the meeting is abruptly ended because even if he would have continued talking to you about something that's not even relevant if he would have started telling you about his life story how he got so successful how he was put in the position that he's in if he started telling you about his kids if you would to started telling you about his problems you would enjoy every minute of it in fact if he would have started tell you know what you want to go play some tennis together play some golf walk around have a coffee maybe we'll have some lunch I introduce you to my friends my employees you'd love every minute of it if he told you listen why don't we spend the whole day together you'll go you know you'll be my buddy you'll be my driver I'll take you to all my meetings you won't say anything but you could listen to everything else there's nothing in the world you wouldn't love more than that why because you're getting an opportunity to be next to the person that could be the changer of everything now as great as this person may be as rich as this person this can be as nothing eligible as this person can be they are less than nothing less than nothing when you compare them to their creator the King of Kings there's nothing else but him it's not that there's no one like him that's an obvious but there's nothing else but him nothing else he gives us an opportunity to speak to him as often as we want and since we get so busy chasing our dreams and fulfilling our obligations he tasked upon us to pray to him at least three times a day talk to your creator three times he's the one that can change everything he's the one that decides everything he's the one that puts you in the predicament that you're in and he's the only one that can take you out nothing will work for you or against you without it being the will of hasem and unfortunately because we get so wrapped up in our own doings and our own convincing of ourselves that we are our creator that we are our decision maker that we are in charge we convince ourselves that we are the masters of our destiny to such an extent that we forget God that we forget that he is the one and only that decides what the outcome would be the only thing that's in our hands is what we'll try to do our effort how we're going to use our time the outcome is never in our hands the outcome is never in the hands of man man is limited man is not something that could ever become a God that's why Christianity is idol worship they've humanized God they've made the infinite unlimited into something measly and something that comes from a putrid seed and eventually eaten by maggots literally you've taken everything and turned it into nothing so now when a person convinces themselves that either God is human or they and they've humanized God or they have deified themselves thinking to themselves that they are in charge of everything that it very very simple for them to start hating prayer because they start looking at prayer as if it's wasting time they don't really believe that God's listening to their prayer they don't really believe that God is there when they're saying they're they believe that God is where they need to be which is at their job at their assignment at their desk at their trip wherever it is it cannot be that he's here while I'm praying so allthough God is inviting you to pray to him talk to him for as long as you want a person could pray so many times to the point where they get what they're even doing it becomes robotic to the point that they forget that they're praying to the one who has all the answers to the one that our new song said the one who lives forever to The One and Only God of Israel we forget we forget that this is where the answers are we forget that this is where the questions are we forget and unfortunately when a person forgets that about prayer their prayer becomes something of a burden and it becomes even worse when they forget about the purpose behind the rest of the mitv behind why we eat kosher behind why we dress modest behind why we keep Shabbat and worst of all behind why we all have to absolutely have to make time for learning tah every single day without learning tah a Jew cannot know how to be a Jew a Jew cannot feel like a Jew this is one of the things that helped the world with to bring back that heart into this busy World we've made for ourselves now of course not everybody needs it the more you learn Tora the more you learn about the MIT the more passionate you become about them the more heart you have doing them and for some people this works most people it works While others need a little extra others need a little extra and the teachings of was certainly the perfect recipe for them now RAB Alik ofin was RAB wisen Bloom of lein was one of the greatest kic masters of the 18th century he lived at a time when theic movement was beginning to flourish and spread across Eastern Europe he and his brother R were among the closest students of RAB do the M who the chief disciple of the B after the M passing moved to the town of lein Poland where he attracted a large following of and devoted himself to teaching and helping the community now many that saw and witnessed the life the teachings and the Miracles and the Wonders that came through the hand of RAB ofin simply became not only hisim but also the teachers that continued teachings as teachings and Contin continued reminding everyone why you should listen to these teachings he was also called the second bov because the Wonders that he did in many cases were significant even at the time of the tanim which preceded him by nearly 1600 years 1,800 years now some of these stories are so so extraordinary that if it wasn't for eyewitnesses it would be impossible to believe in one storyin is told that one of hisim saw the Holiness of the rabbi and knew that the rabbi can be the One messenger from Hashem that could help him with a problem that no doctor in the world was able to deal with this kid had a young daughter was almost 20 years old but she stopped growing when she was only two years old meaning she was a 20-year-old woman in a body of a 2-year-old kid she just stopped growing now this disease is known in the world today but 200 years ago 250 years ago nobody knew what to do with this and hisid decided that he's going to plead with the rebi to please help him and one day he found his way into the house of when the RAB was not there went into the bedroom and placed his young daughter on the bed which is absolute no no the bed of the rabbi is KES kashim as we know from different the uh their sleep of theik may not be much but there's an enormous amount of benefit to it where one time the main tal of the Aral walked in to the house where he saw that his his Reby was sleeping for that for the few uh hours that he would sleep during a day and he heard that the rabbi the Aral was speaking was murmuring something so he came closer and closer to the RAB he wanted to hear what the rabbi is saying as he got closer and closer his ear closer to the mouth of the Aro arizo woke up huh what are you doing here oh no rabie I'm sorry I I just wanted to hear what the what the rabbi was uh was was saying Nel says to him I was learning Torah in sham and even if I would give you a lecture for over 80 years straight day and night it would not be enough to teach you what I learned in just these last few moments that I fell asleep why because when you are in the world of n in the upper world there's no restrictions and limitations of the body of this lowly body that we have this limitations that we have so you don't need to be subject to the rules of this body the rules of time and space so the amount T that can give a person literally could envelope that an enormous amount of Tora could envelope that in mere seconds and that's what the ARA was telling his student so when came into his house and saw that there's a little baby what look like a little baby on his bed he was upset hey who put you on my bed theid came out and plead with him on the floor please I beg you Rabbi it was me it was me I'm sorry I need you to help me please and the rabbi saw hisid is crying what what what happened he says she won't grow she goes why not what do you mean she what's wrong with her goes no she's 20 years old almost 20 years old but she stopped growing when she was twoin witnessed by the and thereby is mother came in shortly thereafter seeing this eyewitnesses to this and of course everybody else that knew them saw this after where they see the outcome tells him okay get her off the bed and he takes her off the bed and R puts his holy hand over the head of this young woman that's in the body of a 2-year-old and tells her to stand she couldn't stand also she gets she's troubled to move and stand but she eventually gets herself to wobble on two legs and puts his hand on her he says so is this enough more more and every time he says more the child's body grows more and more and as he's lifting his hand higher and higher this child turns from being a 2-year-old body body into a child into a teenager into a grown woman of 19 years old to the point where the said okay okay enough enough she's going to get too big now and right in front of his eyes there was no medicine there was no potion there was the Holiness of the sadik whereas the tells us the says and fulfills why because has these these righteous people as his Messengers in the world there is representation in the world he doesn't need them but when they make their life completely dedicated to shows his will through their words through their statements through their actions the has stories like this one after another another time where theim saw that the rebi that they had was not just a ordinary Rabbi that will give a nice about t here and there Inspire them and then move on there was always a line of people outside of his house always a bunch of people waiting to speak to him waiting to Simply look at him hear him say something but there were also times where everything was off limit you couldn't enter one time there are many people waiting for the rabbi to accept people they're all waiting they're all talking they're all hoping for something to change but all of a sudden they see three huge men three men that were extremely big very very tall so tall that they all had to they all walked in very very fast crossed the line passed everyone everybody had to make a way for them they quickly went into the door and all of them had to completely Bend in order to be able to enter the house that's how big they were and all of them were that big of course everyone is talking who are these people how where do these Giants come from what do they want from the rabbi and everyone is talking and everyone is waiting and then everyone decides okay as soon as they come out take a look look at who they are their faces maybe we could recognize them so everybody is waiting quickly to see who's coming out is a rabbi from here is a rabbi from there does he look like this does he look like who are these people and as they're waiting and waiting and waiting soon enough the door opens and the three men quickly come out and they go so fast that nobody gets a look at their face and they simply just disappear now of course everyone is interested who are these important people they wore different types of clothes they certainly look different than everybody who are these people and who are they they could just walk in and out of the re's house and no one rejects them no one tells him what to do soon enoughin came out and he saw the look on the people's faces and he said you're probably wondering who those three very important men were well after seeing the decline in the generations and the way that people prayer I realize that many people lose their focus because the prayer is too long for them so they may start with the right intention and excitement when they learn they start reading the Shak prayer but within a few moments they lose themselves and they don't have kavana when they pray and I thought that perhaps I could take the highlight of the prayer that I've learned through endless amount of teachings from the from from from my Rabbi take the highlights and combine it in such a way that I could shorten the prayers to a much shorter format and that way everyone can pray with kavana because it's going to be that much shorter and as I was about to start writing it these three men came in and they told me we are the we are three members of the men of the great assembly from the time of the bet mikash we are the ones that wrote the prayers in the the were Prophets that knew which Gates of Heaven open at specific times and which words need to be said in order to open each gate which word was a key which word was a lock they didn't just write these prayers they didn't just take different parts of Psalms and different parts of the tanak and just put it in different places because it sounds good literally everything was done through prophecy Andes and they said toin even though what you want to do is praiseworthy it is not welcome in sh because hasem wants to continue with that prayer because that prayer has the gates opened and closed at specific times when people pray with the minan even if the individual does not have kavana and therefore in sh was decreed for you not to do this don't write this new that you want to do but as a show of respect for you you could write a different prayer that will be said at the before people start praying and the was sent from sh from the world of Truth to speak toin face to face face so now the stories ofid are always interesting but we still haven't answered what makes a person Aid by simply burning their nails now of course there's a lot more to do than simply burning the nails as you see from the which is a short letter that wrote that gives you guidance of how to serve AEM like a different guidance different advice of what you need to do and the letter is full of extraordinary things that some things the average person can do other things even very high level people cannot do he gives advice to that could fit everyone but unfortunately not everyone could actually fit those that guidance into their life at least not on day one at least not without a life worth of work he tells us how to overcome stubbornness how to break the natural incl ation how to fix personality traits even if you're only a teenager how to remove the negative form of embarrassment that you have how to speak clearly and concisely how to remove laziness and study with more excitement a lot of things are in this letter even though it's a very short letter but the letter starts with how to utilize every minute of your time to serve asem in fact the way that he describes it I could assure you that no matter where you are in your life and how long you've been praying and learning toah it'll shock you that this is the beginning of as he says that every moment that you have that is not utilized to learning tah you should be thinking about dying on Kem by being burned literally the teachings that he has from the beginning of this letter shocks your soul in such a fashion where you already realize that regardless of what path you thought you were on surely your and in reality are two different worlds now let yourself not get discouraged there are some things that we can do and there are some things that we aspire to do there are some things that we can do sometimes there are some things we can do all the time and there's some things we could aspire to do hopefully one day either wayin teaching the foundation of we have to first understand what is the purpose of we understand it's to bring the heart out in your mitvah to bring your to life when you're serving AEM but how is that relevant to cutting your nails I could understand if you pray to hem with kavana and you cried to Hashem about your problems sure that's good that's better than praying like a robot I can see you learning a lot of Torah with excitement with Zeal I could see that makes sense I could see making sure that you eat kosher food that has the best I could see but what is this thing about Nails once we understand the nails we can start understanding what is really all about and its goal thear says someone that cuts their nails and throws them on the floor is a wicked person because those Nails could harm somebody there a spiritual impurity connected to those nails that if a pregnant woman passes over them she could literally have a miscarriage this is also a reason of why a woman should never go to a cemetery ever even if it's her own parents shom she should never go to a cemetery the says that there's certain mikim in the cemetery that could impact the woman in such a fashion that she would never be able to have children again a woman should never go to a cemetery a woman has certain things about her that make her more susceptible to certain problems that men are not susceptible to nails are one of them and a person that throws Nails irresponsible ibly could hurt a woman and if a person understands this and says okay I'm not going to throw him on the floor I'll throw him in the garbage I'll bury them says that person is a righteous person he's a sadik and if a person goes the extra mile and says listen if I bury those Nails somebody could uncover them and and still that could hurt the woman still that could hurt somebody but if I burn them then they're out of existence so that's what I'm going to do I'm going to burn them and thear says that's a now I could understand that it takes a little bit extra effort to burn them but to really because called Aid is a big deal why why is it Aid the over 800 years ago he says it the tosot says it in the name of the the reason why he's a for burning the nails is that it's well known that when he burns parts of his body that he removed whether it is his hair or his nails or skin that came off if he burns it he will be weakened by that even though it's not part of his body anymore still him burning those parts of his former parts of his body weakens him it also smells terribly to him but the fact that he still does it knowing that it weakens him knowing knowing that it smells terrible to him knowing that it's a burden to him but he does it because he wants to go the extra effort in order to not harm anybody else he's willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of others that's a trueid that's a trueid this is what is all about it's not just about showing everybody that you could afford to buy certain clothes or that you can grow facial hair or that you could wear a stry mole or that no it's not about even you reading a certain book and understanding it it's a certain lifestyle where your life is about going the extra mile the extra effort to serve by also helping his children even more so and who is even better than someone that makes that extra effort to help A's children come back to him and do chuva now this brings me to one of the saddest stories I've ever heard in my life but fortunately it's a story that must be told because it has everything to do with the situation that we are in today and everything to do with what is about just said this in his thisat and unfortunately one of the difficulties of being the a rabbi that te teaches the public deals with the public the more you deal with the public the more you are subject to the tragedies that are happening in the public and of course the highest position also gets the highest issues that are brought to their attention and said this story and unfortunately this is seems like a story that is happening on a regular basis years ago his father Shalom who they just uh as a side note published the one of the latest books that wrote there's a whole series of them in Hebrew they just translated the section about Shabbat in uh to English and I was just notified by what of my t about it it was advertised somewhere I figured I have to get one even though I have the Hebrew need to see this beautiful work what was done what's different from that to the others I B it and it's fantastic it's not exactly the same meaning that a lot of the the footnotes that are in the Hebrew version are not in the English version but nonetheless this is certainly a uh perfect book to learn for every English speaker that wants to know how to live a Jewish life and know how to keep Shabbat and we uh spoke to the owner of uh the uh store that's selling it uh and to help his uh new business as well as help the Tora of get publicized in the world we got a special uh discount for all of the fans that put the code Rabbi ruven and the store ashkanazi books.com you'll get a 10% discount we don't get any money out of it we just get the merits that there's more people learning R's now Shalom years ago he told in a lecture I heard with directly from him that he had a dream about mashia and he asked the mashia mashia why aren't you coming we've been waiting for you and the mashia told it's because there are over 1 million children in Israel that do not know the is now some of you have heard me say this before I've heard other rabbis say this it was a very very famous story told about RF and better yet some of us have heard these types of things not just from this story but throughout history of how the degradation of the generations has gotten to the point where many Jews today do not know the basics of Judaism one of the things that my family I love to do together on Shabbat and any other time we have the abilities read books together and for the last couple of months we've been reading a uh a books about Jewish history that are with fake characters but it's real Jewish history and there's a series called the uh Strasburg uh Saga and uh there's a whole series I think it's maybe like 15 books or something like that originally was written like 30 years ago and then they continued it again in a uh uh last few years anyway it's a fantastic series of books highly recommend it you'll learn a lot of history about it but also it'll give you a real perspective of Jewish life over the last few hundred years and in one of the books called the Morano Prince it talks about the Spanish Inquisition now we've learned about parts of the Spanish Inquisition we've read certain stories about it but the way that the author puts it here really takes things a different perspective and it's mamash puts you in the moment of what happened to CL getting the burned at the stake how they celebrate how the the church and the the the Kings celebrated burning Jews alive it's a horrible thing and they literally celebrated it and all spies and and and wicked people and conspiring anyway one of the the things you see is how the Jews that unfortunately did not choose to leave and abandon their wealth and decided to stay made the wrong choice because eventually either they were killed anyway when they were found out that they were still practicing Judaism and hiding or they lost their all because they became Christians but worse yet the Next Generation even for the ones that succeeded to stay Jews but in hiding the next couple of generations could not learn the Torah to the point where just one or two generations after the ones that made the decision to stay there in Spain their grandkids many of them did not even know they were Jewish until they became teenagers and even after they found that they were Jewish they had no idea what to do they had no idea how to say sh is they had no idea what sh is is and the ignorance that they had was literally something extraordinary of how a Jew on one end is willing to die for the sake of their jewishness on the other end does not even know the basic blessing for food or or the basic Divine statements which is is hereo Israel Hashem Our God Hashem is one they didn't know this now with all intents and purposes and everybody's whether they thought it's going to be that bad whatever decision that everybody made you can't really judge some many they not in their shoes I can tell you this no one thought it was going to be as horrible it ended up being no one thought that it will last as long as it lasted no one thought it was going to be as damaging as it was it was literally a tragedy daily happening in the Jewish Community with this entire monstrosity of a of of a of a decree against the Jewish people now if we were Shalom at the time of the Spanish Inquisition and you would tell me that you don't know how to say is I can't fault you for that if you told me we were in a time of the Crusades the churches soldiers that went from Jewish Community to another killing one after another and you told me that you were so afraid of being Jewish that you did not teach your kid I can't really fault you for that if there are Crusade monsters coming from town to town these Giants and they're killing everybody and you're so scared you don't want to teach your kid I can't fault you for that if you were at a time of the Holocaust and you just saw six million of your brothers and sisters being murdered and you're afraid to teach your 5-year-old kid sh is I can understand because if you say it the Naz is going to kill you I can understand if you told me that in communist Russia where the government convinced the Jewish community that their own brothers and sisters and parents are their enemies and if they were to ever hear a Jewish prayer in the house they should go and tell the KGB the government and thereby see to it that their own family and friends are arrested and in some cases killed quickly or Slowly by being sent to Siberia the Gom on this Earth and if you told me that because of that the children in Russia in different parts of Ukraine and other parts of the the world they did not know the I could say to you I understand because they were constantly under threat if you said the is in Russia you could die if you said the is in the Holocaust and Nazi Germany you can die if you said the is in Spain in Portugal in Poland in different parts of the world where the was inquisitions you can die I can understand why you've gotten to the point where you don't even know the is or your kid doesn't know the said I can't understand but if you told me that there are over a million children in the Israel today that do not know sh said I don't understand and I don't understand until today I didn't understand I told you about this story but I didn't understand until today what that means I grew up in Israel until I was 10 years old I wasn't the most religious but I certainly wasn't the most secular we went into a motti school where we had a keep on but there were boys and girls in the same school some of the teachers were religious some of the teachers were not so religious but everybody had a certain respect but when we came to America when I was 10 years old I went to public school I went to school with everybody Jews Gentiles there was no Torah there was no mitvah there was no nothing but I did know the is I did know that there are certain things about Judaism some we followed some we didn't until later on in my life we did Chua the concept of somebody living in the land of Israel and not knowing sh I heard about it I read about it but I never believed until today when I heard the say the story after I heard also my own raim say the story I didn't know what to do with myself and this story it's a story that just happened in this war that we're in right now against the Palestinian terrorist that coined them elves different names one of them being Kamas unfortunately while the media is constantly harping on the fact that Palestinians are dying people are forgetting that the Jews are dying too and one of these Jews Soldier young healthy beginning of his life was in the war war was Under Fire a bomb went off he got hurt he got hurt really bad he realized that he's dying in his last moments before he died he called his father he called his father and he told his father Aba I'm here I got hurt by the bomb I'm surrounded by these different Palestinians they're shooting at me they're coming closer and I know that one way or another I'm going to die very soon ABA what do you say before you die as a Jew I know that there's something you're supposed to say what do you say the young Soldier grew up in such a secular house in Israel that he did not know what to say before you die he did not know what sh is is and he wasn't the only one on that call who did not know what shma Isel was because his father after catching himself and trying to figure out what's happening here he told his son I I don't know son I don't know what you say where is there anything Jewish I can say I know I died I'm a Jew what do I say what ises a Jew say when he dies and the father also doesn't know meaning this is already a second generation a second generation of somebody who does not know what it means to be a Jew but he's willing to die for it and the father says I don't know what to say say say something Jewish he said ABA what's Jewish what do you say that's Jewish he oh say muza say isza and the young Soldier that's bleeding out says muuza muuza and dies this story was told by his own father and a story that happened it's a story that should have never happened regardless of what your opinion of the war is your opinion of the government is the reality is that as much as the father is at fault for his son's ignorance and the wicked government is at fault for putting us in a situation where our soldiers are dying the religious community is at fault for that kid not knowing shma is if not 100% a big majority the says that when decided to destroy the BET mikdash and kill millions of his own children he decided to kill the religious community first those that knew the Torah those that learn Torah he hurt us first he killed us first he punished us first why because we did not do enough to help our brothers learn what is T learn what is MIT because we figured ah they don't want it they don't want it to just leave them be let them stay secular we'll just accept them as they are says no no no there's no accepting them as they are they're my children you're my children they have to follow the Torah you have to follow the Torah when they don't both of you are guilty as much as everybody says listen we have to help the from Community because there's problems there and we have to help the people that are not from because there's problems there how is it that we're all crying when we hear this story that there are over a million Jews in the land of Israel I'm not even talking about the rest of the world in the land of Israel that do not know shma is how is it that we are not crying about this every single day to the point where we each and every single one of us that knows the weekly Paras each and every single one of us that knows how to save blessings each and every single one of us that has a few dollars in their pocket how is it that we are not doing kiru every single day how is it possible that you can call yourself a religious Jew and yet let your brothers and sisters that are secular continue living their life without a care in the world now you may not be the right fit and the right personality to teach you may not be the right fit and the right personality or the right schedule to go distribute books to go give out USBS but you could do something you could share something on the internet you could invite people to Shield Tora you could support kiru donate some money you could do something how is it that we're spending all of our money in on things like a PES vacation that's $3 $40,000 a wig for1 $15,000 allp types of camps for the kids $5 $110,000 but yet we don't have $5 $110,000 to give to kiru $5 $10,000 to help am learn learn when you see people they have campaigns to build an extension to Yesa build an extension to a synagogue build an extension to some huge building already you see people Gathering Together sending millions of dollars but you tell them listen let's help am is become is Let's Help am is become Jewish more Jewish than the Jewish that they're in what do you see oh yeah okay I'll send I'll send you know like $5 or $100 or or literally 1% of what they send everything else we're in a situation where right now what said years ago that he dreamt about a million Jews not knowing the is no longer correct his son said right now we have 1.5 million 1.5 million Jews living in Israel today who do not know the is until today I heard it I read it it was hard for me to believe it it was hard for me to believe it but today I believe it when a Jewish Soldier is willing to sacrifice his life because he's Jewish because he's protecting his Jewish Family he's willing to die for them to praiseworthy act but it's sad that we let him down and we didn't have enough time enough opportunity enough to care about him to make sure that he knew is an extraordinary teaching that whether you want to be Aid or you don't want to be Aid that's not the purpose of this series the purpose of the series is first and foremost to understand what is second is to know whether you're on that path or not but third is to take different parts of it and apply it to your life even if you don't want to be Aid why because it's just good to do it's good to do good I bet that if more of us cared enough about that Soldier like the does in the to burn his nails the told the ADM of that he burned his nails because he didn't want to hurt another Jew if we cared enough about Jews as much as we do about not wanting to hurt other Jews if we cared about their as much as we cared about their body I bet more people would know the nobody would die without knowing what to say before they meet their maker taught the foundation ofid that's some of it is irrelevant to the average person it's just a far away story a far away Endeavor something that a tadik did and some sikim will do but some of the things anybody can do if they care if they care K will give us the strength the good health to learn together with you what isid enough to know about it of what we could apply to our lives what we have to run away from that may look like but in reality is idol worship is heresy sometimes a person can come up to you in the middle of the street to pretend to be a friend to pretend to be a brother but quickly you find out that this is a idol worshiper from the church that calls himself a Messianic Jew so will help us identify what's heresy what's idolatry what's serving hem with the minimum requirement what's serving Hashem with above and beyond the requirement but most importantly will give us an idea of what's possible what's possible we succeed thank you very much for learning with me we'll talk more we'll learn more later this week if Hashem wills it and gives us the health
