Shavuot Special Reminder Not To Forget God - MUSSAR Pirkei Avot (42)

[Music] great to be in aventur again we have a uh amazing holiday coming up that's um we'll talk about a little bit about CH we uh today we're doing it instead of the typical Tuesday because tomorrow night is so uhad gave me a good idea and he said why don't we just instead of missing a whole sh for a whole week and we need this to as much as uh we need air why don't we uh have a sh on Monday so here we are so the of the sh definitely goes to also also to no and also to may give him this little baby is M someone we have to pray for they named him but they haven't named him yet because since since he was born almost a year ago this precious little Tino this precious little baby has been in the hospital in and out of hospital having surgeries Non-Stop and uh one of my students uh she's uh friends with the mom and uh it's m breaks your heart to see uh the that is gets obviously AEM has a reason for everything that he does he's a just God and He does everything for our own benefit we just don't understand it so really meaning that the uh lack is on us not on him Shalom but still it's very very painful and um uh after theat the last one just remind me I tell you a story that I uh just read recently actually on Shabbat about a baby uh but uh again but this this baby I've been praying for him for almost a year but a lot more in the last uh month or two uh and and uh I'm really hoping that this sh is is really going to go to uh give him a full and he can have a proper and become give to his parents that are M doing everything they can to uh to really uh to get hem to have some mercy on us to uh to get this baby to have an amazing life so this sh will also go to his and also for Mercedes and yud davidor and all of will have you know the uh one of the things that uh has always touched a uh special nerve with me is little kids you know I love kids I've always love since I was a kid I liked kids uh my mom tells me that when I was a little kid when I like five six years old I used to want a babysit my cousin and nephew uh my cousins who were uh were like like you know two years old three years old that would want a babysit them I always like kids and gave me the uh to uh be a father and the kids are amazing but uh you know sometimes you uh you don't understand that you know you see a kid and they're so pure and they're so amazing and the world around them is not exactly so pure and so amazing sometimes so you wonder what's going to be with this boy what's going to be with this girl and uh in today's world unless we as parents we as brothers we as sisters are going to take the Torah by the horns and M start connecting and gluing ourselves to gluing ourselves to the instruction set that Hashem left for us over 3,300 years ago on this just on shab unless we start hanging on to it start gluing ourselves to the pages of the Torah fulfilling hashem's will as if it's our own will not only are we doomed but these precious little babies are too the uh once uh after prayer people would uh came to him and uh asked him to give and uh one uh mother brought her eight-month-old baby to uh to get a and as soon as the saw the baby there was many witnesses bunch of people they saw him hold the baby and start shaking but shaking from Fear shaking like he's never like he's scared to death and eventually St shaking and he said to the boy alif and the boy said alif he's eight months old said bet he said bet said g and and the boy continued the entire Hebrew alphabet he started counting 1 2 who kid continued counting to this day he never spoke a word he told him a in the Tora and he continued it and then he got to a certain PUK and the boy didn't answer he said again everybody's like he's only 8 months old maybe he forgot who knows you know they surpris he's even talking and he says the pur again and the boy doesn't repeat it so he Taps the boy on the forehead it says that's too bad the next day the boy died a few days later there was a a little over a week later after the Shiva was over there was a and uh they brought the uh to be the Sak and everybody was praying the special prayeri has his chair also hasem says to the prophet that he's going to send alahi three days before the mashia comes and was very sad and he said yeah the soul of the Messiah was already born in this generation but unfortunately because of our sins we didn't have the Merit to have him grow up so he died just a week agoes knew that the Mia was his soul was in that little boy and we see little kids is he cute is he amazing see Miracles we don't know what the potential of the kids going to be one thing I can tell you is that every single person has the opportunity to bring an extraordinary amount of even if they're not Mas just by doing the the will of hem so we continue in the series of the but we're also going to obviously connect it to this of in we got am got to Mount Si Hashem started giving us the Commandments and after the first one says that am heard the first commandment and everyone died some say some died and some flew away 12 miles away either way it wasn't an ordinary day Hashem said the second commandment and everyone died again we talked about this last week where hasem brought them back to death from from Death to life and then they told to their Prophet m the prophet of all prophets you go talk to him we'll do whatever he says you go talk to him because if he continues to talk to us we're all going to die as we'll do whatever he says then we'll listen just come back to us after you talk to him come back with the instructions yeah yeah is the thing yeah my on so now kazal also explains to us that all of the souls in the world not just in a uh of am but all the souls in the world started with a single soul which was you fast forward to Noah in a generation of the flood Hashem destroyed the world and the only people that were left well Noah his three sons their mother and their three wives and also OG the king of Bashan the giant everyone else died there was a lot of wasting seed a lot of murder theft all types of sins that Hashem found disgusting and decided that it's already too far it got to such an extent that the sins of man affected the animals so the homosexuality that was practiced by men started affecting the animals the animals became homosexual the animals started being with other animals instead of hunting the uh the lion hunting the zebra he wanted to be a husband Instead This was against nature this was against the way hasem created the world so the sins of man led to the destruction of everything even to such an extent kazal explains to us that hasem had to destroy six feet off the ground the actual ground was already cursed because it was hiding the blood of all the murder and now not only murder of actually with knives but also murdering when someone Wast seed and that's why one of the first uh Commandments that hasem gave to Noah had to do with not wasting seed one who spills the blood of a man within a man his blood will be spilled so blood of a man we know is regular blood but within a man obviously we know he's repeating something there's a Superfluous word here we know that there is something Beyond just the traditional blood that is talking about and this is one of the biggest biggest proofs that the whole issue of wasting seed being a sin also affects Jews and Gentiles alike there's still a m some say that it doesn't affect the Gentiles the same way as it does the Jews either way everyone agrees that it's a disgusting thing for even Gentiles to do and for Jews it's absolutely forbidden needless to say this wasn't a good generation Hashem decided to destroy it and if you fast forward all the way to abah aino hasem decided that am is going to come from him you fast forward all the way to mosenu and the purpose of the world came to be Hashem waited 9974 generations to give the Torah toam so from creation until mosu 26 Generations passed and finally he gave them the Torah kazal says that before Amel arrived at Mount saai all of the mountains the Stars the Angels everyone was petrified everyone was scared why because if would reject the torem would bring back the world to to hem will bring back the world to nothing this is also in and their source is saying Y where you see that every time hasem finished today it was it was evening it was morning but when it gets you know first day second day third day but when it gets to Friday it says it was evening it was morning y there's an extra hey there's an extra letter in the word shishi which is six the sixth day so the B CH the famous B cha who is also the ofan says that extra hay is a sign of the five books of Moses hey stands for five but also a sign of the deal that hasem made with the planet Earth with the angel that runs the planet Earth what's the deal he says listen now y we're GNA get to Y if accepts the Tora good we'll get y Shabbat we'll get the rest if it doesn't I'll have to bring it back to where we started nothing so everyone was scared is good for us accepted the Torah but some said wasn't really exactly it wasn't like we accepted like oh great we can't wait to have the tah it was we accepted it under tough conditions what were the conditions we got to mount Sai and it got to the time of matem bent the mountain he took the mount sa it wasn't the tallest mountain it was actually the shortest mountain was the humblest mountain that's whyem picked Mount Si versus the other mountains that are much bigger than it and each Mountain wanted to Mountains from all over the world you know each Angels run these mountains not just a mountain talking obviously each Mountain said I'm bigger I'm nicer I'm this I'm that the only one that didn't talk is Mount siai says oh he's the humblest he's going to get it someone who chases cavod the cavod runs away from him someone who runs away from cavod Hashem gives him kod the same reason of why Hashem called the Torah the five books of Moses is five books of Moses why because didn't want to take credit for getting the Torah from said no it's yours you just used me as a middleman as like a post service to give it to is oh you don't want any c want to call it after your name you're going to get the most cavod there is so now we're all in all of the souls that went into the few that survived went into the family of Noah they repopulated the world sh repopulated the world the Chinese people actually says that the uh first grandson of uh one of the first grandsons of of uh Noah was aini cini means Chinese which means and Shem was one of the sons meaning he was actually older than the grandson which means that at the very least am should have just as many people as the Chinese people but if you look at the world today they have nearly two billion people we have 15 million 20 million at best something's missing and they have birth restrictions they have birth restrictions unfortunately just in Israel has had millions of abortions millions of abortions not even including the millions of abortions that are having being done in America by Jews and everyone alike with Wicked companies like Planned Parenthood making it like it's not a big deal people think that killing babies is okay cuz they haven't come out of the stomach yet but if you take out the baby and you see that after 40 days it's already moving it already has a heartbeat it's already alive if you take it out of the body you see it it's perfectly alive small but it's alive if you kill the baby outside of the stomach it's murder you kill it inside it's aah nothing this is the stupidity of people today you don't know most people most women that have abortions they don't know it's actually a living baby they don't know that after 40 days it's actually a living human being has arms has legs has eyes has a brain all miniature but it's very much alive after 40 days and the wicked doctors that cut the little kid up into pieces they're making no it's not a big deal it's not really alive it's not really this okay so why don't you just take it out show it down mom show it's not alive and then kill it if it's not alive why do you have to kill it inside take it out it's not alive if it's just a piece of meat take it out show it to the mom see it's dead why do you have to cut it into so many pieces because they're committing because it's inside the body it's okay it's legal outside it's murder don't worry Hashem will take care of them too eventually but the point being is that all of the we populated the world and all of them that went into am Isel arrived at Mount sa and heard heard the voice of hem the sound of hem saw the words in the sky hasem spoke words were written in the sky that's why it says don't forget the things you saw you saw the words of God you didn't just hear it you saw them which means that all of our all of our souls here and anyone that's watching we were all there I think Sunny was pushing me I'm not sure I think he was pushing me trying to see more maybe more almost was in the back was relaxing and you had a good spot all of us were there and all of us said all of us said listen Moses it's too much for us go talk to hem we died twice already today first time we talked we died that was already scary second time no come on look every day he's he's going to kill us bring us back kill us enough go talk to him whatever he says we'll do enough you remember that you remember both of us said it not but kazal says something very scary kazal says that anyone that says something and doesn't keep his promise doesn't keep his promise the same God that punish dul that punished the generation of the the flood will take care of them too Hey listen the guy said to the guy listen I want to buy your car but I'm gonna come up with money tomorrow and he doesn't show tomorrow he doesn't show up at all you promis you're GNA buy my car why don't you show up why don't you call me tell me I can't afford it why don't you tell me listen I bought something else promise broke a promise husband says honey I want to be loyal to you for the rest of your life two years later you already has a girlfriend guy says sir I'm going to be with your company for the rest of my career three and a half years later his resume got built up he goes to the competitor makes double the money broken promises are pouring all over the street like germs and Hashem doesn't like broken promises people are saying tomorrow I'm going to come to Manan what time you doing it 6 I'll be there I'll be 6 o' I'll be there 5:59 tomorrow you're learning I'm going be what time 9 for sure Count Me In 8:30 I'm going to be there waiting for you you're going to see I'm waiting for you at 8:30 I'm going to start teaching the class you how many times every single week same exact people tell me oh this week I'm coming this week I'm I'm coming this week I'm coming every every week at least double the amount of people that are supposed to come actually tell me that they're going to come but it's not just me it's everybody and people make promises make empty promises like my brother ostri says all the time he says empty promises people make empty promises my father explains it he says the reason why people make empty promises because talk it's free it's free to talk say as much as you want it's free doesn't cost any money but according to he actually does have a price it actually does have a price first and foremost kazal says that everyone that comes to this world comes with a certain amount of words so the next time you're about to talk about just remember this may be your last few words so if those next few words are going to say to your brother hey ABA hey I love you okay hey brother I love you listen what was the baseball game score last week how much does Derek Jeter make how much does uh what was the guy the golfer that got arrested today Tiger Woods the loser how much does he make degenerate loser gets caught drunk dry driving in 11: in the afternoon the guy has a billion dollars he gets drunk driving in the afternoon there's no bigger loser in the world than someone that has everything that Hashem can possibly give a human being in this world as far as material and what does he do he drinks himself to nothingness in the afternoon you want to have a drink fine have a drink at night normal hour at your house not only you drinking in the middle of the afternoon like a loser degenerate but on top of it you're putting everyone around you in danger by driving you selfish garbage why why does everybody have to suffer for your stupidity there's no bigger loser in the world than somebody like that no bigger loser in the world why it's selfish Hashem gave you everything and what are you doing you act like you run the world selfish people disgust me they also disgust theem so it's it's in line so now all of us were in Mount sa that we didn't have an opportunity to be selfish hasem told us you have to accept the Torah because this spot right here where you stand will either be a day that it's t you receive the Torah you accept it and it's going to be our m marriage and that's why he bent the mountain and made it the shape of a so the the the mountain instead of being straight up it bent a little bit it covered like a roof he said this is the sign of our if you accept the Tor good we'll be married I'll never leave you you'll never leave me if not this is where you're going to die this is where you're going to be buried the roof will collapse right on top of you so the ask what kind of gift is this this is really not so much of a gift it's more of like you're threatening us so did we really accept the toor or we forced to get it what do you think no what do you think think accept but if we didn't accept it he say he's destroying the world what kind of accepting is that first and foremost he told us I love you so much I can't bear the thought of not being with my people we're not being with my firstborn son but in case my firstborn son went a little cuckoo and he doesn't realize who ABA is I'm just letting you know it's not worth it the whole world is not worth existing if we're not together kazal also tosot specifically say a different commentary on it it says really he did force it on us he did Force us to get the tah but why did he Force us to get to toah because we were not the only creation he created other people today there's 7 and a half billion people in counting there's millions and millions of creatures in the world of species billions of animals and every one of them has a purpose even though the ant lives for six months all of itsa is made on the first day on the first day collects enough food for the rest of its life but what does it do the next day continues to work continues to work that's why says learn from the learn from The Ant and you'll be not only you be because you're not going to be lazy bum but on top of it you'll see how the mid of the the mid of the ant are very good as soon as it smells food that another ant touched it doesn't touch it it goes away it's not like us as soon as we see a customer we don't care if it's somebody else's customer it's a prospect War like sharks kill or be killed survival of the fittest everyone practices it in business then SE somebody else's P he touched it it's not for me it's not for me why sh is going to provide something else so says learn me from the but even the even the ant has a purpose it has a purpose in the world when I first moved to Florida I was amazed at how many lizards you have here like where I live there's a lot of trees it's m it's like a zoo it's like a zillion lizards everywhere and I remember seeing a few lizards when I was a kid in in Israel but in New York there's nothing it's barely uh anything it's barely ant with all the pollution there they probably killed all the animals and species there but anyway here I saw lizards and this and that a lot of so I was wondering to myself why what's the purpose of all these lizards and then my wife told me goes no these are good good these are good to have I'm like why she goes they kill all the other bugs ah it's the Cleaning Service it's the Cleaning Service especially certain bugs we don't like like spiders so so the lizard has a purpose the ant has a purpose the cow has a purpose the Sheep has a purpose obviously much higher human being Jew or Gentile they have a purpose even the has a purpose even the wicked person even has a purpose whether you talking about be JC peny be Hitler or any of the throughout history each one of them has a purpose the righteous Gentile also has a purpose rambam says the righteous amongst the Gentiles the ones that keep the seven laws of Noah and all of the ethical laws they're considered they considered the righteous amongst the Nations this is the real wordid means you're doing above and beyond the norm if they keep the laws based on the will of hem they say listen this is what it says in the T ofu Books of Moses says we have to keep seven laws of Noah we have to keep all maintain all of the ethical laws meaning you have to do respect your uh and honor your parents and so on and so forth fine he says if they do it because Hashem said it they're considered the wisest amongst the Nations but if they do it for no reason they just don't murder just because the government said don't murder they don't steal because they don't want to get arrested they don't eat living animals because it's not really nice to see blood everywhere not because hasem said it the rambam says that they are called even though they keep the same thing this one keeps it this one keeps it this one keeps it because hasem said it this one keeps it because it's custom government said it it makes sense he says this one is is the smartest of all the people and this one is the stupidest of all the people he's not talking about somebody who doesn't keep it he's saying if somebody keeps it but he keeps it for the wrong reason he's the dumbest of all because you're doing all the job but you're not getting paid for it you have no share of the world to come but if you if you do the same thing just say forem same thing for Jews every morning you wake up if you just say thank you hm you already have a mitvah you waking up anywh just say thank you next thing you do you wash your face right unless you live in a garbage pil you're going to wash your face you're going to wash your hands if you say I'm going to wash my hands in my face for the honor of hasem to take to do fulfill the will of hem say you get aah you don't do it you have you're doing it anyway you go to the bathroom anyway you go to the bathroom you come out of the bathroom say thank you hasem for making all the holes where they're supposed to be and all the closures where they're supposed to be whatever is closed is supposed to be closed whatever is open supposed to be open very simple if you just say this blessing that takes maybe 30 seconds you go into the bathroom will give you a share of the world to come you don't do it you have a share of G home same thing just one is hot and the other one isn't the other one's nice you're going to eat right at some point you're going to eat if you just say Hashem this food thank you thank you hhm for giving me food you can do the at the very very least a human being says to get something somebody gives you a uh anything you say thank you right hashm gave you food say thank you hm say a blessing eat the food mitvah you don't you're considered a thief against two against hem you finished eating say again thank you now I ate I'm stuffed thank you hem for giving me just enough food to fill me up some people get food but it's not enough to fill them up in the old days in the concentration camps the nais they would give each one of the Jews a tiny little portion of old bread enough to maybe for a few days for a few days some they wouldn't give him anything at all so don't take it for granted you have food and you're satiated you're full many people got food just wasn't enough so at least you get it say thank you you say thank you greatest things in the world you don't say you're thief from who from hasem from the worst kind from the worst you stole from hasem you idiot you stole from hasem better off steal from a person if you're already going to steal don't steal from hem so you see here it's simple that's why the rambam says for the go if they do it it's all common sense they're the smartest they don't do it they're the idiots same thing with the Jews though you're already eating you're already going to the bathroom you're already going to work you're already going to do stuff you're G to give because you're a human being you're you're if you're a Jew you have to have some type of generosity in you you have to have some type of Mercy in you to know that whether you are part of the descendants of you have to have some typee of Mercy some type of generosity and some type of no B being shy this not all of us have but at least the first two you have to be generous you have to have some mercy if you're not generous and you have no mercy you're probably not part of the descendants of ab aino but if you already have this you're going to be generous you're going to give money to somebody at least give it to Tah don't give it to go build a gate in the zoo for some elephant or to save the Dolphins or to save the crocodiles give it for to at least you're already doing it why give it for because you said you will you may not remember but 3,300 years ago when you said you told theem we're going to do everything whatever you say we're going to do and even though kazal says that it was a threat the TOs is saying of course it was a threat because hasem had many many Creations he had animals he had giraffes he had horses he had crocodiles he had Dolphins he had Birds he had all typ of Creations you had all the angels and if you said no you destroy everyone what kind of God do you think he is to leave up everything up the chance that would be an irresponsible teenager God not the god of Israel so of course he's going to put everything on a line say you accept it good you don't accept it this is the end but the point being here is that all of us said yes like it or not you have to fulfill the Torah as a Jew and as a gentile each with their own mission like it or not you have to do what Hashem says like it or not so at least if you're going to do it do it with a little bit of kavana do it with meaning question is what do we have to do what do we have to do every day we have an opportunity to learn what hasem said but sometimes we forget we get on our way so this mishna wants to explain to us what does it mean to forget aim 310 translation says in the name of which R the famous RAB the famous T the famous T that after he lost 24,000 students who all all able to revive the dead he had to start everything with five new students one of them was so all of the oral Tora that we have today is because of R AKA and those five students the reason why we mourn for losing those students is not because you connect to those students you know who those students are it's because all of the Torah that we have is just from a handful of people tens and tens of thousands of books that we have are just from a handful of people the entire Tor of the 24,000 people 24 were even greater than and R shimai and R they were greater than them they were previous generation all of that Torah is gone so imagine how much more Torah we would have if the tens of thousands of books of Torah that we have right now is from five people six AKA and five students had at least 40,000 books some say much more you know them all by heart we barely know at 40,000 books and that's not the entire it's not even 1% not even 1% of 1% and all of that times it by 10 all of that is still not all the Torah of those five people imagine what we would have if we had the Torah of 24,000 that's what we cry about by the way we mourn and grow the beards and go into and all this stuff not because hm likes beards so is telling us the following whoever forgets anything of his Torah anything of his Torah learning the Torah says it's as if he Bears guilt for his soul he put his life on the line he forgot Torah his life is on the line we'll explain in a second don't be so worried it's going to be okay guys we'll make it but beware where what's the source he gives a source source is in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 9 he says beware and guard your soul exceedingly lest you forget the things you your eyes have seenu tells I know that I'm not going to be here forever I'm not going to be your Prophet forever and Hashem is not going to talk to anybody as openly as he talked to me you're not going to hear his voice in Mount saai like you did when I was here it's going to talk you different way you have different prophets and eventually you're not going to have any prophets but don't forget what your eyes saw not what you heard but what your eyes saw so the asks a question how many prophets were there throughout history anybody know at least 1.2 million prophets throughout history says that it was at least double the amount of men that came out of Egypt men between the ages of 20 and 60 there was 600,000 so it says at least double the amount were profets throughout history so thear then asks then why were only 55 mentioned in the tanak 48 males and seven females we're missing a few we only have the Torah of 55 people M Five Books of Moses after that you have Book of Joshua Kings and so on and so forth you have 24 books 24 books total 55 prophets 55 prophets are mentioned throughout the tanak he just said just said we had 1.2 million minimum where's their Torah what happened to the Torah wasn't important it wasn't good so answers AEM only mentions anything in the tanak any verse a small verse big verse long verse understandable not understandable in or in the five books of Moses he only mentions a verse if it's it's relevant for eternity if it's not relevant for eternity it's not mentioned meaning that the prophecy that was given to the 1.2 million prophets was only relevant to their generation therefore it did not become part of the Torah because the Torah is eternal so only the things that were Eternal were included in the tanak meaning that even the smallest most illegible verse that you possibly have in the five books of Moses in the Psalms in all 24 books of the Torah the most illegible one is eternal one example would be in T in t 40 verse 9 it says says says to fulfill your will my god do I desire and your God and your Torah is in my innards is like stomach one funny thing that I heard but it's not it's funny but it's not funny that it Hur from this week he says in shavat in the holiday of shat some people fulfill this verse they fulfill this verse very well what do they do they say we'll come to fulfill your T so we're going to come learn all night to the but instead of learning all night what do they do they eat all night so the Torah instead of being learned they're just eating all night all night they eating Bas and cake and fim and they all night they're eating to they learned 10 minutes but they were there the whole night the next the next day they going tell about oh yeah was because the whole night the whole night I was there I was there prayed Nets how much Torah did you actually learn oh Torah I Hadas yeah but how much Torah I watermelon no but how much Torah did you learn anything you learn anything you remember anything the breast was very good actually the Torah goes in the stomach not in the mind that's a different for so you have to understand shab tomorrow night you're com to the to learn whatever they have food you could eat no problem eating but don't forget to actually learn the Torah enjoy the food as long as you do blessing as long as it's a permissible food no problem but don't forget to learn don't forget the beginning of the verse the Torah part so back to our point with the prophets we see here that Hashem told us that everything that's written in this Torah especially the five books of Moses it's relevant for eternity which is the reason why he worded this verse in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 9 that's used in this mishna the way he did said Beware and guard your soul exceedingly lest you forget the things your eyes have seen now if it was just about us hearing something just you you heard the problem is they heard it we didn't but the way that the word seen Hebrew is being written here is as if all of us saw it meaning all of our souls saw the words of Hashem and all of our souls saw the creation of hem on a day-to-day basis even now to know that there's a God to know that the Creator to the creation it didn't come from nothing don't forget that he's telling you and it continues and it says does this apply this losing memory putting my life on the line for losing some that I learned this also apply if I forgot because the studying was too difficult for him was just difficult I studied I st I studied for five hours I remember the whole thing is that also putting my life on a line that's what he's asking and he gives an answer with another verse also the continuation of that verse andless they be removed from your heart all the days of your life it says the answer is no if you forgot because it was too difficult for you then your life is not on line why because it was removed from you it was a natural thing that happened not because you uh weren't careful but rather because it was a natural thing that happened so one Bears no guilt for his soul unless he sits idly and loses his knowledge as a result of lack of concentration and review so here on this is telling us something that's critical to each and every single one of us he's telling you listen first and foremost is a reminder there is a God and that God gave you a Torah Torah has rules if you fulfill what those rules are you'll be blessed but kazal says that if you don't fulfill what those rules are you'll be cursed because whoever makes a promise and doesn't keep it the same God that destroyed the generation of the flood will take care of them why because generation of the flood didn't keep their promise they didn't keep their promise hasm destroy them if we don't keep our promise so how do we make sure how does hem make sure that we actually keep our promise our end of the bargain he's giving us instructions this is part of the instructions one of the sages that survived is telling us his simple instructions don't forget read the Torah just don't forget it he in the ashkanazi world he uh was known as not only someone that was a giant that remembered everything but his that he had was something that you had no enough of admiration would really give it justice so they asked them students asked them one time how do you remember this all the all the everything you remember everything how I mean listen I study I remember everything how do you do it so bman said what do you mean have you read the mishna it says anyone that forgets any part of his Torah learning his life is on the line so it's not that I have some great memory I'm just scared to death I'm scared to forget so I make sure I remember someone that loves his wife he's not going to forget to buy her lunch if she told him listen can you do me a favor buy me something someone that loves his wife is not going to forget her birthday if it's a big deal in their household some couples B birthday is not a big deal every week is a birthday the husband doesn't wait all year round to buy his his uh wife a present once a once a a year a righteous Jew buys his wife a present and every opportunity whether it'ses or it's a holiday or it's just because it's one of the things you have to do in your you're waiting for a birthday your wife's going to be happy once a year you probably none Because by the time she's happy you're already used to being miserable but the point being here is that if someone loves his wife he's not going to forget if someone loves his life he's not going to forget to breathe you're not g to forget to breathe you ever forget to breathe anybody forget to breathe no right because you like to live so is telling us the same thingman also telling the same thing if you treated your Torah like it's air you're not going to forget it if you treat it as a priority you're not going to forget it why because you can live it all the time so I remember when I first started learning with raim I asked him you know questions about mosu and all the but especially I was very very interested about m and uh he told me you know all of these Giants it's impossible for us to understand their gah their significance impossible for us we can't even understand the wisdom of rabbis of previous generation like for example the rachov rabbi from less than 100 years ago he's the one that met with Einstein and Einstein said with his brain you can make two Einstein so the they asked they asked him they asked the rabbi how do you know so much Torah how do you know it he was too busy learning so they asked the student how does he know so much goes what do you mean how does he know he just goes over it never he never stops going over it he just finished now going over it what do you mean he just finish now because every eight hours every eight hours he finishes the entire sh every eight hours he finishes the entire sh a genius finishes the sh once every seven years less time is higher than a genius it's if you're just learning you finish the once every seven years a little over seven years if you're serious takes you less time especially if you have a lot of time on your hands let's say You're Something Out of This World a year a few months but eight hours eight hours just to go over one page of thear takes me three hours right now with you guys hours he finished the entire shot can you understand this this is just a previous generation this is just previous generation this is not 5,000 years ago this is previous generation grandparents he wasn't even good enough to be a talmid of the of the rambam from 900 years ago and the ROM wasn't enough to be a t of R of over 2,000 years ago because every one of his every one of his students had to be able to revive the dead and RAB AA got to the highest level of K but he didn't have Prophecy likeu from 3,000 years ago so it's impossible for us to understand the significance of these Giants of GI that are mentioned by name Moshe like it's one of our friends everybody names their son Moshe ai ai come AI you know you're named after it's abah ainu AI abah ainu you know who AB ainu was he was able to create things kazal says in the Holy books that the forefathers of kept the entire T even though it was before the T but since they knew that technically they weren Jews they were considered noahides they weren't allowed to keep the entire Tor so how did keep Shabbat if he's not allowed to keep Shabbat so the holy books say thatu would violate Shabbat once one time every Shabbat how would he violate Shabbat you didn't have a light switch like you know all the converts in the process of converting they can't keep keep Shabbat 100% or the holiday 100% that keep 99% so what do we tell him turn on the light once turn it on once keep the rest it's good practice but you can't keep it 100% R says a go that keep Shabbat gets big punishment even though there's some people that call themselves rabbis and are starting to change the rules there's no such thing now let keep Shabbat if you're not a Jew but if you're in the process of converting you're allowed to keep 99% of it until you're in the stage once you're on the last stage the bed officially said okay you're allowed to keep Shabbat and you're allowed to keep Shabbat and then you convert butu 4,400 years ago he knew all this so how did he keep Shabbat without keeping Shabbat K says he used to create a cow every Shabbat the book of creation he take whatever ground You' make a cow that's it that's how you're not allowed to create on Shabbat so created a cow that's it he VI Shabbat Golem Golem was still a Golem he created a cow mooing but you understand what we're talking about AB ainu you understand what we're talking about here ai ai what ai ai AB ainu so it's impossible for us to understand the significance of our forefathers impossible for us so when they say something we should listen so this is telling us everything that your eyes saw your n saw in Mount sa you better remember it you better appreciate it you better do it because if you don't your life is on the line your life mamash is on the line when it says honor your father and your mother but then it says I'm God at the end of the verse says Anem what we forgot who's telling us this Hashem says there Ten Commandments it's mentioned a couple times in the Torah one of the times when it says we honor your mom and your dad and the other time it says honor your dad and your mom in one of them he says at the end of the verse I'm God honor your mom and your dad I'm God forgot we're hearing your voice Hashem you have to remind us it already scared us to death so Kaz says why is he mentioning it says I'm honor your mom and your dad yes but he's telling you I'm God meaning as long as what IMA and ABA are telling you are not going against God amazing as long as they're doing what hem says because if im and ABA tell you go violate Shabbat IM and ABA no longer IM and ABA hem comes first if im AB telling you go violate do something against theem you're you have to listen to them there's no honor there's no honor to Sinners another says that every time it says and it could have said but it says is an extra word again says what's the for what's the extra couple of letters for could say it another way says the extra couple of words to remind you honor your mom your dad and your older brother your older brother your older brother says come me to you're going with the come learn to come learn T go help me out with this help me with this no problem but remember at the end of the verse what it says meaning if older brother says against T he's not older brother anymore if everyone does what Hashem wants Hashem says I'll be fine in the back I'll be fine just watching listen to your mom listen to your dad listen to your older brother no problem but if what they're saying if IMA or ABA or the brother are saying things that are against me just remember I'm God I go first who says this who's explained to this the same Kaz the same sages that told us this exact Mish says don't forget what your eyes saw don't forget because if you forget your life's on the line so now the question is what does that mean that I have to remember every single verse I ever wrote I ever read every time I mention a mish I have to say this number this number that page this page that some rabbis you know like to mention the verses a lot and one of them went TOA and he started talking to one of the also one of the of and uh start telling him listen in giving him different like he doesn't know so says mentions a verse in your signs I hated but your Torah I loved because what do you give me signs for just tell me what want okay what this that tell me the bottom line you know I know the verses don't have to tell me the of the tah is not remembering the page number okay it's nice if you remember the page number I mention the page number because a lot of people ask like to ask questions so you already have a source but if you don't remember you don't remember you don't have to remember the page number what do you have to remember what's this m not talking about what everybody has to be like where every single thing a computer he mentioned his pages Pages Pages Pages all day some other rabbis all they mention is Pages they don't mention any to they just mention Pages page this Pages page this Pages page okay what are you saying then other than the pages I'll just take the whole book okay fine the whole book no what are you saying sometimes you have rabbis they give you a source sheet before the lecture they give you a a notebook full of things they're going to use like a speech in this page this Rabbi said this in this page this Rabbi said this and this page this rabbi said this and they give you like 30 pages of sources this is not a problem it's okay no problem what's the problem the problem sometimes is that there's no conclusion all they give you is opinions this one said yes this one said no this one said yes this one said no so you have three hour sh or one hour sh whatever it is but at the end of the sh everybody came out confused no one knows what do they want okay so he said yes he said no he said yes he said no he said yes he said okay so who do we listen to which one the Cowboys the Indians who won what's the bottom line tell me something you're the rabbi tell me something or sometimes they give you the source sheet and they just make up stuff like this rash uh DWI Joseph DWI from London he had a lecture recently and I did not listen to waste my life on listening to the lecture but I listened to somebody sent me a five minute clip of the lecture I wanted to vomit for every second I listen to it I had to listen to it unfortunately and I wanted to vomit just out of five minutes of listening to this and he also that's what he does his style is before the lecture he gives a source sheet he gives a source sheet of all different things but in essence it's all bogus why is it all bogus because what does he say in a lecture homosexuality is allowed in Judaism now it's an honor that we have homosexuals in the world Hashem didn't really mean it if we don't become homosexuals or accept homosexuals then we're going to be left out they're going to be in all types of garbage disgusting to and this is a guy that calls himself Orthodox he's married to a very very married to's da granddaughter m m the poor lady and he's also one of the that signed a letter one of the 16 that signed a letter against so now since he's the one that got everybody together but why do I mention this other than the fact there's enough already talking about this low life there's no addition that could be added by me about this guy he's already ruining his life as it is what's the addition what's the what's the have to have a k right the K here where are we today whatness it Breast Center breast center follows who from breast so right B says the people that go against in the end will all be caught with what's sex crimes so all of these that went against little by little you're seeing them being exposed this guy is already exposing himself the guy is uh cheering on homosexuality cuz most likely he's one of them and I wouldn't I wouldn't doubt anybody else in that grouple as well simply not because of insulting or anything like that just this is T you're going against you're going against somebody that does all day this is what you do so where we are gave us a what the watch eventually they already talked about m a year ago look what's happening right now one after another is Fallen more the rest of them will fall very quickly so now our sages told us every single thing that happens in this world has to have some type of source in the toah has to have some type of connection to the toah and if you forget it you're putting your life on a line not if you forget the page you know there's no Al to remember every single page you have to remember the page number what do they say what do they mean by remembering it remember the den remember the laws because if you don't remember the laws it could be so for example I'll give you a couple examples page 11 it's very interesting discussion beat talks for a couple of pages really about a tailor leaving his house Taylor to fun s leaving his house with the needle still stuck to his shirt you know s a needle stuck to a shirt on Friday it goes over and over this is actually part of the originally part of the mishna and then it goes into the they they discuss it it talks about how this is not allowed now we just talked about here that only thing that's mentioned in to are things that are relevant to all of us somehow some way it's relevant to all of us maybe not today but tomorrow maybe not tomorrow but next week maybe not next week next year the reason why you have to learn the entire Tor is because all relevant to you even the the why bet m going to be build you have to watch see if they what they're doing maybe you're coin so here we have the gar is spending an immense amount of resources talking about whether someone is allowed to leave the house on Friday night before Shabbat before Shabbat with the needle stuck to his shirt instead of holding it in his hand it stuck to his shirt that's where he left it now before this year amamos and I were learning a little bit we're trying to figure out who cares about the guy's needle stuck to the shirt either take it out leave me alone what do I care about your needle how's it am I the FR I'm a sewer I'm starting to sew next week what do I care about the guy's needle no you're not allowed because you were part of the sh so who's going to give me the answer why do I care about the guy with the needle huh it's not part of it's not part of the clothing right point is what the is telling you here is that if he walks out with this needle he could very on Friday before Shabbat but it's already Friday night it's getting to the point of Shabbat he may forget the needle in his shirt and if he continues to walk around with this needle in his shirt on Shabbat Shabbat shabat why is it mentioning a needle why isn't he mentioning he lift a boulder on his head he lifted a I don't know a horse on his head he says because hasem even cares about the needle if he cares about the needle he cares about the Boulder and the car and the house and everything else you're LIF in he cares about the needle why wouldn't he care about the bigger things you're carrying if you're in a you're allowed but in general not allowed but now we'll expand on this in the uh biography ofan on page 495 and 496 it tells of a story of how Moshe from France went toar to go speak toada and ask him are Jews in France allowed to use a certain type of belt on Shabbat why does he care about this belt because it became a in France to carry the key for the house they didn't have any roof didn't have any Ro and for anyone who doesn't know what any Ro is it's usually it's like a string they put in a neighborhood or Community which in essence makes the whole Community as if it's all one roof and you're allowed to carry but if there's no roof you can't carry so in France Unfortunately they didn't have any Ro so you weren't able to even carry your house keys Carri the house keys it's it's considered is Shabbat violation of Shabbat same thing as light fire so many people that were scared to leave the house open they will put the key inside their belt inside the belt or connect it to their belt but the says it's not allowed not allowed to hide it inside your belt because it's not a part of the belt so asked to go to and say look the French the French Jews made a belt where the key the house key is actually a part of the belt it's not just being hidden in the belt it's a part of the belt where without the key the Belt doesn't work so it's a critical part of the belt so can we use this belt with the key who do you go to you go to they went to ra so he goes to ra looks at the belt for a few minutes he says according to not allowed to use this belt so says in a story here says no no maybe the belt that the was talking about was a belt where you're purely only hiding the key in there not a belt where the key is part of the belt so this is a so according to the book says okay so I said that doesn't in says it's not allowed but raar doesn't like it says this but doesn't like it he repeated it a few times he turned around looked at some books and he turned around he said okay what else do you have what else you have questions and understood from there that he didn't didn't want to give him an answer right there and then a final answer right there and then but he's going to give him an answer down the road he's going to do some research and he left he asked him some other questions he got the answers for the other questions and he left's study without an answer about the build and according to the book on page 495 and 496 it says that he found out that a few days later from ra Moshe from France the one that originally sent him on this mission that Rya contacted him and told him the belt is allowed the belt is permitted you got me so far now it happened to be that I also at the same time I finished this book I also read and I got to this and if you look at Y which was originally started by Rad and then continued by his son RF if you look at s 301 B 59 onat it says the following a house key may not be carried on Shabbat into the street and areas not surrounded by any even if the key is connected to one's belt saric Jews may not be lenient in this even if the key is used to fasten the belt in place and certainly it does not serve any such purpose if it doesn't serve any such purpose so here he's specifically talking about this story here he's specifically saying not only not you allowed to use the key if it's hidden in the belt even if the key is part of the belt and is used to close it there's no more important part of a belt than closing the belt without a belt that doesn't close it's not a belt it's a rope so he's saying specifically if the key is used to close the belt you're still not allowed to use it wait a second we have a contradiction this biography of says he said yes says no and he says there's no leniency there's no leniency for spartic who we talking about in France spartic no no leniency no so they allowed to violate Shabbat any he didn't say that if who have said he would have added what's the is reality is it's not allowed it's not allowed and there's two things you need to learn one thing you need to learn is you don't learn from biographies if there's an mentioned in a biography or in some type of but it's contradicted by a book that's book like or any of the other major throughout history if you have mentioned in a story versus through a book that's only full of you listen to the book of you listen to to to all of the things that I mentioned not the biography you don't learn from biographies or from stories even though sometimes most of the time they're right in general the the the book of takes precedence always that's number one thing that you have to learn second of all what could have happened in this particular story is that it could have been something specific that he told a specific Ka or he didn't I'm not really sure we don't know that's why the book takes precedence because there's different sometimes there's certain advice that's given to certain people certain advice is not given to certain people but people say a lot of people say things in people's names I'm I'm not saying said something that's not true all I'm I'm saying is that it could be something specific to a k it could be something specific to a ra I'm not really sure all I know is that according to the book it's not allowed and according to even the story itself he said it's not allowed so now why is this very very important to us it's because a lot of people today say things in people's names Sim's names and much of it is falsehood a lot of it is outright lies like this one rash Rabbi that I know in uh Bon who decided to tell people that the head Rabbi of Israel right now ra son the head rabbi's son the um for son the head Rabbi of today of told him personally nonetheless personally told him you're allowed to drive on Shabbat if it's going to B you're allowed to drive on Shabbat now stupidity like this you don't need to verify nonsense like this you don't need to verify you don't need to verify stuff like this why because it's outright M it's like you have to be to actually believe such a thing so why why is he saying this this guy why is this Rabbi saying it because he's been teaching a class for 15 years and not one of the people in the class is keeping Shabbat 15 years they're going to the class not one of them is keeping Shabbat till this day and all of them have become his friends and he feels bad so what does he say to them no don't worry you're allow said you're allow to shabbat this is stupidity this is nonsense this is complete so again a lot of people say things in people's names you have to verify even if it's written in a book of course this was 100% to find an interesting story in a biography and then incidentally as AEM would have it actually finding out the real Al in the book the same day so I mean obviously this is stuff stuff like this doesn't happen every day point being is that you have to always verify always verify what's your question yes but he would you know anytime any anytime he mentions that anytime that he go that he goes against his father or any time that he he would would be mentioned I understand what you're saying I understand what you're saying but anytime it's something there a contradiction it's mentioned because first of all this is based on raad's uh work that's number one second of all second of all it's a uh if there's a contradiction between the two it's noted it's noted oh this is this opinion over here this opinion is different than the opinion that's written it somewhere else it's noted they don't just like aimlessly this book says this they're not irresponsible uh poets you know they're not like some uh you know some guy that just wrote a book this is M this is people's life or death this is this is either or it's not it's not a joke this is the point of this whole mishna this whole mishna is telling don't forget your T not don't forget the page not don't forget who said it now don't forget if you went to the sh you didn't go to the sh he says don't forget the why because it's either going to be or G forever that's the difference here your life's on a line why is a life on a line life's on line because if you forget the dean if you forget whether you're allowed to put the pin the needle in your shirt or not it's the difference between violating Shabbat or keeping Shabbat you understand if you forget to check the cow the right way you forget to check the lungs it's either you eat or it's life or death difference it's not like a uh you know the the just listen now you forgot to put the dot do and the email didn't go through no it's life or death life or death so that's that's the that's the key that we're trying to understand now how do we get to to a point in this lowly generation that people that so-called rabbis give you a source sheet full of sources for their nonsense and at the end of the Shure either everyone's confused or everyone became a k someone like d people that come out of that shoe either they're dumbfounded they don't know if they went into a rabbi's place or into a Studio 54 nightclub they're not really sure where they went the guy just promoted homosexuality in an orthodox Sho you don't know what just happened here you have other rabbis are promoting Christian missionaries to come to uh to come to a give us a lecture about life the purpose of life you have no idea what just happened here what do you mean what is something wrong with you what happened what happened where do we where do we go wrong so over 200 years ago this was already written about 200 years ago this was already written about in the book that I keep mentioning to you guys in the last few weeks it's mamash the Torah of M if you actually understand this book and you implement it you're already in G no this is so in the beginning he says the following if we look toward the generations we see that the studying of Tor is still being done studying of tor still being done even till now almost 200 years after him 170 years or so after him you still have you still have you still have small you have people that learn on their own you have in the middle of the night you have we'd always like to have more but there's still people learning T we're not in the times of the Romans or the Greeks where we have to like hide we're not in the times of Siberia where people had to put themselves put their life on the line so the KGB doesn't catch them and kill all them for learning they used to take one page among a whole group one page of a group of people 10 15 people start learning the one page of over and over again they didn't have entire sh just hanging there collecting dust like we do one page for the entire group why one page page listen if anybody knocks on the door it's definitely the KGB if it's the KGB everybody takes a piece of the eats it why because if they catch with one page of they kill all of us we have the entire sh just sitting collecting dust almost 2,700 theim sitting there doing nothing they are begging for one page and they're willing to put their life on the line to study the one page over and over again a thousand times good so learning T there no shortage you want to learn it's available to you click of a button you press a button you have to you want to go there's a somewhere all the time is not talking about learning of T shortage he says a close scrutiny of the general situation of Torah and heavenly fear reveals that the spiritual degradation of fear of Heaven is much more rampant and destructive than the basement of Torah study and the ramification of ramifications of this weakness are far more serious in the beginning it was saying Torah LED you to you learn you get you want to connect to told you the key very simple beginning of wisdom fear of hem you don't fear hem you have no wisdom you can know math you can know science you could build rocket ships could be a uh Tesla times a thousand doesn't make a difference you don't fear hem you have no you have no wisdom nothing says is saying always went they were like brothers twin brothers they always went together but he's saying here if we review it and scrutinize what's happened and recent Generations this is already talking about almost 200 years ago says the situation of with Torah study didn't change that much we're holding our own but heavenly fear has gone down drastically and the fact that it's gone down is much more dangerous than if Torah would went down why unfortunately however fear of Heaven has dramatically fallen from the most pristine Heights to the most ignorable deths the precipitous decline has been frightening to behold with nothing nothing and no one to hinder The Descent the paths of fear are in mourning the gates of divine service are desolate and we are drowning in sin immorality rules over us with unassailable strength and impunity corrupting us and ruining every good portion of God's inheritance the foundation of fear and Heavenly worship is engulfed in flames the slanderers have gained power while those who fear the almighty's word are derided and despised virtue itself is corrupted and falsehood cloaks itself in a garment of righteousness men of violence control the land and Truth is vanquished translation in simple English although the Torah is being learned it's being learned unfortunately hasem it's being learned like a secular subject it's being learned like it's just general knowledge like it's math philosophy science architecture history because why because has been removed they're learning the stories they're learning the and because there's no they pick it can choose what they want to believe and without he says the foundation of fear and Heavenly worship is engulfed in flames we're doomed he also continues the Torah itself is not invulnerable for without fear the Vitality of Torah will ultimately be debilitated as well may Hashem have mercy says without fear of hem unfortunately the Torah wouldn't be able to hold even the Torah the one we got 3,300 years ago without fear of hem without teaching won't hold up I'll become a subject May Hashem have mercy and he says as far as physical illness is concerned Medical Science even in his day 160 years ago 17 years ago Medical Science has made wondrous advances research labor continuously to expand the horizons of medical knowledge there's as many there's as many diseases exist in the world as there are Physicians and remedies just as many sicknesses there just as many doctors no problem you have a sickness there's a doctor to help you even in his day he says there a pill fabric today it's even more if he was here you think there's only there's only medicine there's so many medicine big farmers making so much money creating new medicines every other day everybody every average person's on six pills however ever such is not the case concerning the soul and its afflictions there is a vast increase in illness in spiritual illness and the diseases are even more severe the weakness has become an endemic the paths of healing are obstructed there are no doctors to Aid us and there's no process and there's no no procedure he says that spiritually we've gotten much much sicker and he's talking about 107 years ago there was still some people withes in his generation him himself included there's still people that were Hades he's saying the disease is so much so bad right now because there's no the whole system is about to collect CS what would he say about today when a Orthodox Rabbi says we could bring a Christian Missionary to our sh or we could celebrate the homosexuals or we could publicly def face rabbis that do kiru we could publicly deface anybody that teaches M he would say you know what he would say you know what he would say no no you would say nothing new Under the Sun nothing new Under the Sun haters of M have always existed the idea is mentioned inua section one chapter 7 says there are seven things that prevent a person from tasting and recognizing the inherent value of M the biggest deterrent is jealousy there are many people who interfere with the study of musar by fabricating claims against it they create stuff like no no it's too hard for the generation it'll turn people off they're not going to come to beet anymore you can't tell them that it's too much it's too this it's to that or they start telling you like no no one is righteous enough to teach musar anymore that's a lot of people say this you're only allowed to teach M if you're perfect okay the problem is no one in history has ever been perfect including mosenu but he taught M better than everybody what are he saying that he wasn't able to teach either so here he's telling they're fabricating claims against it false allegations appeal to people who are not sufficiently familiar with musar to realize how vital it is especially those who have never seen or tasted its Radiance certainly their claims do not stem from understanding wisdom rather they derive from the corrupt Wellsprings of jealousy which consume like fiercely burning flames and are as oppressive as G which by the way this took this book also talks a little bit about Gom which is very interesting now this leads me to my next point and we'll finish off with that in this mishna is telling you don't forget your Torah you're putting your life on the line but if you forget it because just you're studying too much you didn't remember everything it's not the end of the world just pray for it eat right study hard repeat repeat repeat go over the things over and over and over again never give up but you have plenty of sh to teach you about that and the rambam's he mentions in the uh introduction to it's the end of the book talk talking about the 13 principles of faith in detail he talks about how the M by said you should serve AEM not because you're going to get a reward but rather serve AEM because it's the right thing to do in the same book on page 77 he says logically if you understand this ramb if you understand this mishna if you understand the mishna we learned today and you understand even a small a small inkling of what G is what the punishment is for not listening for get the reward if you understand a little bit of the fire that consumes the wicked souls in G of the coals that never end as far as fire they feed to people who are just T they just waste their time and don't study Tor you just understand the tiniest punishment tiniest punishment we're not talking about the biggest punishment we're not talking about the seventh level of g no no one not talking about that about the smallest level of G says if you understand that just not going there is enough of a reward just not being punished that's already enough of a reward you on top of it you want you want you want kids you want this you want that you want you want everything just not being punished is enough of a reward so hem is telling you remember my Torah remember me because if it was simply up to man even the most righteous among men just not getting punishment would be enough of a reward but because I am and I love you I'm not only not looking to punish you I'm looking to reward you so please don't forget me any questions make why because you have to be at a certain level to receive Holiness and even though all of am Isel were holy at by the time they got to mount saai the only mosenu was at the level that he was able to hear hashem's voice as he speaks the uh the rest of am were not at that level yet they were high but they weren't at that level yet but this was also to show them that mosu was different from them and different from every person that ever lived yes right right right and unfavorably unora the ram also talks about them the ram talks about them and the uh in the same exact place and he says the reason why a non-jew is not allowed to keep Shabbat unless he's looking to convert is because Shabbat was specifically given to am one of the sources as a matter of fact uh that you can see that talks about how Shabbat was specifically given to is in this same page 10B it says there's an in Judaism there's a law in Judaism where someone who looking to give a gift to his friend has to tell him he's going to give him a gift where do we learn this from we learn this from hasem telling I am your God who makes you holy so thear says wait but God gave us Shabbat it was also a gift how did he uh announce it to us and it actually talks about the mid where he talks about how hasem goes to mosu and he says Moshe he gave us Shabbat before he even gave us the Ten Commandments says Moshe I have a great treas I have a great present in my treasure chest and its name is Shabbat and I want to give it to is go and tell her go tell am is I'm about to give her the biggest treasure I have in my treasure chest and it name is Shabbat so now the asks why was it necessary for God to inform the Jews that he was giving them this gift why do you have to give it to them why do you have to tell them just give it to them Ten Commandments number four keep Shabbat why do you have to make an announcement a special meeting with mosenu days weeks before weeks before while they're still in a desert they're traveling in between Egypt to mount they haven't gone there we got Shabbat why wait until we get to Mount Si what are you so excited about on top of that why you even telling us just like he told us I'm your only God don't worship other gods don't use my name in in vain wor you know honor your parents don't steal don't murder and so on and so forth all those things you didn't give us a announcement about those things why do you have to tell us why like my answers the reward for observing Shabbat would not likely become revealed on its own it is of this reward that Hashem instructed Moses to inform the Jewish people so two two things we learn here first and foremost he says keeping Shabbat if it would like was like the other laws then he wouldn't announce it to us first and foremost he's telling us to keep Shabbat the reward is greater than anything else because if you don't keep Shabbat even if you keep everything else everything else is worthless that's one so that's already make the reward for Shabbat on a different level one two the only way you're going to be able to know how to keep Shabbat is through my oral T because if you look at the entire tanak not just the five books of Moses the entire tanak there's not one detail of how to keep Shabbat we have no idea how to keep Shabbat from the written toat doesn't say listen don't carry on chabbat doesn't say m doesn't say don't write doesn't say says no fire that's it and keep Shabbat and remember it okay I remembered Shabbat I'll keep it how do I keep I keep it in a in a in a in a cage what do I keep keep it in a room I keep it on the calendar how do I keep it so this actual is one of the biggest proofs against all of those people that are trying to create new rules saying no the Shabbat is for everyone because hasem created the world in seven days meaning Shabbat was already around the seventh day this is the proof against it why because you wouldn't know how to keep Shabbat without the oral Tora and if you read the oral Tora the oral Tora is specifically saying tell is that I have a present for them not present for everyone a present for them and how to keep this present I give them in the that's for for them to read only not for everyone just for them and that's why in the said it's a covenant between me and them not between me and everyone so all those people that are just deciding to pick and choose different parts of the Torah that they like and they keep it and on top of it they tell the Jews that they're wrong like some people send me emails or make comments against me uh saying that oh you shouldn't this you shouldn't that all this nonsense that people make up the rambam also talks about them too he says the Jews that keep Shabbat have have this have great things they go that keep the seven laws of Noah because AEM said it all the world to come they're the wisest among all of them a gentile a noahide that keeps Shabbat why is he why is he gets a Heavenly death penalty because because if he's just keeping Shabbat he's violating to in a few ways one way one way he's creating a new religion if you're Jew you have to keep Shabbat if you're Gentile you can't keep Shabbat so if you're a gentile and you want to keep Shabbat you have now officially created a new religion create a new religion death penalty that's one two second reason the Ramba mentions is because you're stealing you Thief hasem specifically said present I have in my treasure chest for who so you noahide you might be righteous you might be trying to be righteous but you keep Shabbat he's stealing it's not for you to take so now anyone that wants to keep Shabbat I will personally do my best to help you convert if you want to convert I'll help you convert I don't charge we do everything for free the bed charges money not me I'll help you convert if you want to keep Shabbat keep all of Judaism no problem we're not against anything but don't make a new religion want to be Jewish be Jewish want to be a be a whatever whatever you are if you're a Jew you have to keep Shabbat this is not a question if you're a gentile you want to keep Shabbat you have you have to convert so I heard Rabbi singer Rabbi toia singer who has an interesting way of looking at it he said of course you're not the Gentiles are not allowed to keep Shabbat but it seems like in this generation it's the first time in history that people are pretending to be Jewish in the old days it was the Jews pretending to be Christians so don't no one kills them in this generation people pretend to be Jewish for some reason and he says interestingly Hashem made it so difficult to keep Shabbat keep all of the of Shabbat that unless you're like you're studying like a Jew you actually go to k you go to Yesa you go you learn y put your all these things you're definitely going to violate it and it seems like hasem made it so difficult to keep Shabbat like you're supposed to specifically for the mistaken generation we live in today why because many people going to try to keep Shabbat he doesn't want to kill them the ones that are supposed to keep Shabbat don't want to keep it so unfortunately they have a problem but the ones that are not supposed to keep it are trying to keep it and saids listen I know you're trying to do good and just like he said to the king of kzam the kusari king your intentions are good but your Deeds aren't I like the fact that you're trying to get close to me you want to even keep Shabbat want you want to keep my Torah either convert or be a Noah you can't be in between no in between yes or no next is there a way to you could keep kosher you could eat kosher food there's no problem with it kosher was not a present Kos kosher is not a covenant between amem uh even though a non-jew is allowed to eat non kosher he's allowed to even eat pig he's allowed to eat shrimp he's allowed to eat all of these things which Jews are not allowed to eat uh the only prohibition for non-jews in regards to food is that they can't eat living animals other than that they could eat whatever they want but if they want to keep kosher eat kosher it won't have as much of an impact on their as it does on a Jew but nonetheless they can keep kosher if they want that's kosher is not a covenant between and that's just a law that we have whereas a Shabbat those are Covenant between hasem and it does like I said it affects the Jew it doesn't affect the go as much right yeah okay is going not what what it mean in and also actually in this week's it says that if someone is not generous enough to give the that he owes the Quin you're supposed to give the qu in today's generation theim are considered the people that learn to um because we don't have so the are considered the people that learn to he says that if someone doesn't give the right share uh to the m to theim he's gonna end up bringing his wife he uh his wife is GNA end up cheating on him so what does one thing have to do with the other so we learn in this week's that in the old days when a um woman was suspected of cheating on a husband she's called a wayward woman or is the husband after war in her and having Witnesses seeing that she's uh been enclosed with a man that's not a husband twice uh after warning there's no ver there no 100% that she was cheating it's just in a closed room with him so the only way to verify is they would have to go to the qu Gad and they go to Coen Gad and the Coen Gad will do a few things the first thing is is that he would take the holy water that they used to wash their hands and their feet before they did the service in the BET mikdash and he'd actually have a cup full and he take Shem AEM you take the name of hasem on a scroll you write it on a scroll and you would take it and you would dip it into the water so you'd let the ink from the name of Hashem run and be erased which you're not allowed to erase hm's name but hasem said for this you're allowed for this mitvah you're allowed to erase my name and have the ink go into the holy water why because now the woman that's suspected of cheating has to drink it if she cheated after she drinks it she immediately blows up she blows up and she dies if she didn't cheat if she didn't cheat then she gets a blessing from the if she had ugly kids she'll have beautiful kids if she didn't have kids she'll have kids and so on and so forth now what happened somebody asked me one time before I learned somebody asked me what happens if the husband's cheating also she's cheating and he's cheating what happens it's a good question why okay listen if if she's cheating obviously she's a but he cheating is also so why kill her and not him measure for measure so talks about talks about and says if he's wicked even if she's wicked she doesn't die she drinks the water she doesn't die doesn't die why measure for measure you deserve each other so point being is that if what does it have to do with the guy is not giving says if you're giving to the then you're doing you obviously showing but if you're not giving you're going to get to a day we're gonna have to use the service how you going to use a service by bringing your wife to see if she's cheating on you has as a punishment for not giving you're going to have to use the coin for a service and then what's going to happen you're going to feel bad why you going to feel bad like hey coin's like oh I didn't know you still live in town because I haven't gotten your your in three years I didn't know you still live in town oh now I know you live in town oh sorry for the news your wife is cheating on you you should have given meak you understand learned last week give him from his because you and yours are his give AEM because really everything you have and you yourself are his anyway so why you cheap on yes it's not love no I mean it's not not not to not to a point not to a point no it's notab like fire per se it's not it's not like fire but you're not allowed to talk in general you're not allowed to talk not no it's not just you're not allowed to talk it also depends on what kind of if you're talking business then it's business then you're working on Shabbat like if you're talking about listen this uh house really looks good I'm thinking I'm going to rent it I think I'm GNA buy it I think I'm G to invest in it I think I'm gonna sell it then you're talking business that's working even though it's talking it's working then that's 100% that's correct uh but if you're just talking about listen you know you hear about this generate uh golfer that got caught uh uh drunk driving at 11:00 in the afternoon and he has a quar billion dollars in the bank remember him if you talk about that it's not correct but it's definitely not a Mitzvah definitely not a Mitzvah he's not uh he's not worried about rent he's worried about the cops beating off right now in jail it's not good obviously it's not good it's it's awful it's it's a stupid thing to do you are keeping Shabbat because you know that hasem created the world in seven days but you're talking about some you're talking about nothing instead I mean it's an oximoron it's a uh telling your wife you love her while you're hugging your girlfriend something wrong with you you know you're saying you're keeping Shabbat keep Shabbat number one most important thing to do on Shabbat is to learn Tor it's not the food it's not the k it's not the is important it's not as important as T is more important than everything else learning to is more important than everything else if you are in the days of you are not obligated to pray you're only obligated to learn T but since we're not in the level ofish then we have to pray also but in those days thear says actually in in a few places that certain sages would not have to stop their studying for learning Torah because their Torah was too valuable us we don't have the same Focus as they do so we have to stop ourselves we have to pray and we have to learn but as far as uh what can you know what the comparison there's no comparison learning to is above everything that was a for me he told me I didn't hear that but I know that the uh there was several places that it says that the diim would have certain meetings and they wouldn't stop the meetings even if it meant that uh they would skip prayer because being a is also learning to yeah is he a famous Rabbi no he's not a famous rabbi is famous right now for saying for for saying for saying stupid things hopefully does CH that's why I didn't mention his name of business on Shabbat if you're learning the of business on Shabbat from a book that's Torah book no problem no problem all three of those tractates talk about business there's also a few books that talk about business and and Judaism you're low but uh a um it's a uh make sure you're focusing on that and not on the real estate deal you want to do and also again the biggest thing is to focus on what you're even doing you know if if your whole week you have six days a week to learn the learn business do business and uh learn Al of business so it's probably better to learn it on a different day but if you're learning it no problem it's not a problem just uh be careful not to put yourself in front of any uh obstacles yeah there's only one way to be Holy One Way everything else and it doesn't matter who tells you there only one way that Hashem specifically gives us the instructions of how to be holy he says be holy because I am Holy how how are we holy learning and fulfilling is toah everything on the outside is extra everything on the outside is extra um now I'll give you an example there are certain people in the world don't mention any names if you figure out the names because the crowd that's watching doesn't know we're talking about uh there's certain people that are very big M they're very very stringent on theot on praying praying they are serious about prayer they they mean business on prayer so sometimes when it's like they counting the which is in essence a prayer that should take no more at best if you're 3 minutes four minutes max you're like giant you're like four minutes count the today today 48 today 49 today 36 whatever the number of the OM is you have 50 days count the OM after that it's a one and then a few things the real is just counting the but if you're you're gonna take your time you're gonna say wait 80 minutes okay so now you're going to try to do that now if you're alone in your house or you're surrounded by people that are just like you and have a half hour to burn do it but if you're gonna delay by a half hour as a result of your you have two things one don't be over righteous said it you're being over righteous my friend because you think that your in reality you're delaying what does the Tor say about somebody delays Tor the worst curse in the Tor worst curse in the Torah goes to the person delays to gets in the way of Torah why somebody would come somebody sees oh wait oh they're praying 25 minutes for a I'll see you guys I only had 25 minutes to learn to today I couldn't 25 minutes were burnt and waiting for the guy to finish so instead of you doing a in not that I said it in that's what it says so but you're not allowed to torture the public for your if you're aan you're you're not allowed to make the prayer extra long because you want to do cavote and the crowd is not used to it you're not allowed if the crowd is not used to your cavote that make amid last 35 minutes and they're used to let's say 5 10 minutes you're not allowed to force them to stay there for 35 minutes it's it's not a so when someone is trying to be a sadik you have to be careful of how to be a sadik this is the difference between of t and of imposters costumes who know all these only thing that makes you holy is T that's it everything else the long hair the beard the short hair the this hair the PES all that other stuff that's extra it's extra you want to do it whatever but if you're going to be a rash in Disguise just know and sh they punish you extra one for the and one for the sin no no I'm serious you should know this because there a lot of those people today there's a lot of those people that they pretend I mean I saw one today 25 minutes 25 minutes come on no seriously you can't go in the back learn 25 minutes in the back never in my life did I even hear about 25 minutes 25 minutes you're delaying a 2 5 minutes for you two people 25 minutes if have nothing else do in your life go in the back okay fine you want to count count it twice count it from the beginning all the way to the end and add 300 days go in the back why do you have to delay the whole Shield to off why why that's that's fake sadik it's nothing it's B why it's not tor it's not to you see M say hey guys by the way I know you want me to come down after 40 days but I really like I really like the K that I have right now his name is Hashem I'm gonna stay for an extra 80 I'll see you guys no Hashem knew 40 days that's it it's the gag you have to go down you have to go down give him the toah you not let to delay you're not allowed to delay you're not allowed to be torture the public because you're enjoying your me enjoy mitvah by yourself well you count to the for 25 minutes huh yeah and actually I was I was praying and we didn't have a so we started to pray waiting for people to come to join okay okay okay and people came but they so to and we had to wait like 20 minutes for people well you already did you can't do again you did yes so you have to do it again for them uh no no I was waiting for I was waiting for to get ready for the no they were supposed they were supposed to catch up to you they were supposed to start where you are not you go back I didn't go back but IIT wait for them to to get to where you are yes you didn't have to but uh said that you did it you didn't have to you didn't have to uh I mean listen it's better to pray as aan than not pray as aan for obvious reasons we learned that I think a week or two weeks ago it's definitely better to pray as a minan than not as aan uh so it's a worthwhile to do to wait for them 20 minutes so you could pray as a rather than praying by yourself but as far as did you have to you didn't have to um in reality they're supposed to just show up on time and not make you guys wait that's really what they're supposed to do uh but the thing is though is that in kot that wait for people what ends up happening is that there's never a Min on time if you don't start on time people are going to get used to they're going to wait for me they're going to wait for me and they're going to wait for me they're going to wait for me and people are just you know they're going to show up whenever they want because people are selfish and uh they're just going to you know make everybody wait for 20 minutes you're never going to have a Min on time and eventually what ends up happening is that it's either going to be a Kila full of angry people or the Kila is going to break up because people are just going to get sick of it no one wants to wait for anybody I got stuff to do I got to go to work I got to go this I got to do that I don't want to wait 20 minutes for anybody I want to pray and I want to go home have thought I was I was waiting for the guys no I mean listen if if people are not there on time just start praying on your own and uh that's it I mean listen personally I value my time so I don't wait for anybody you know I'm sometimes late and I try not to be uh but I I'm very very you know upset when I'm late to anything I'm more upset than usually the people that I'm late for but in general I don't like to wait for anyone because I value my time my time is priceless so I would not wait 25 minutes for anybody to come for you know for M or for anything if they're not coming I'm praying that's me you are a bigger sadik than I am so you may want to wait 20 minutes I'm not waiting for anybody I want to I want to go learn I want to go do kiru I want to save Souls I don't know I want to do something I definitely don't want to wait unless I have something to do in AET so usually what I try to do is I usually try to bring myself bring a book with me you know or or and learn something while we wait if necessary but in general uh it's it's not advisable to go to a KLA that has constant lateness when there con constant lateness you just eventually going to lose it you just you just uh doesn't doesn't last I know a few KB like that where people just don't show up on time and eventually people just uh leave they just don't come anymore so if if you don't have that's that's also the reason why people usually like to go to bigger kyot because even if not everybody shows up you still have a minan so I mean listen it's it's already hard enough to wake up really early in the morning and get to the Beet and then get to work and all the pressure that you already have to delay your whole day because some guy woke up late why that's if you are part of a minan if you're part of a minan you end up breaking the Manan it's different story that's a mishna but we're talking about there's noan there was no you were there they didn't come you started praying they came late you're not going to stay there because they came late you're not obligated to them oate to but again it's I'm not telling you that you should never wait for anybody I mean if it's once in a while it's not it's not a big deal but if it's on a regular basis personally I would say just chain sh the people there are not serious you know just change you or go to a minion it's later you know some some particular that have a later minion you know they don't have they don't just do nets they do 8:00 9:00 whatever it is and go to it's full but definitely don't waste your time waiting because you're going to lose steam stuff like that is very very good weapon for the yet to cool you off it's like oh look at this guy he's got the hat and the beard and this and he's 25 minutes late every day you know so like those are different excuses that the will use to get you like to not come at all so instead of waiting for that to happen where you just sick of it just either change sh or uh change theion or don't wait but definitely don't continuously wait for people it's it's a bad idea in my experience it's a bad idea no you could switch rules in your position right now it depends if they're adults you're young so if they're adults you should definitely tell them to stop if they don't stop tell the rabbi to tell him to stop if the rabbi doesn't do anything about it then you should leave um but if you are a little older you let's say in if they if they were your age let's say uh well you didn't have the issue of honor to the elders and so on as as a as a problem which is not really a problem as far as Al as much as it is for just in general um if it's let say someone that's old enough to be your grandfather for you to tell him to be quiet is not exactly the most appropriate midot in the world even if he's wrong um but if it's somebody your age then actually you're allowed to embarrass them even in public if they continuously talk not if one time you warn them second time you warn them if they continuously talk in AET you're allowed to embarrass them in public which the Torah says very very hard things about somebody that embarrasses somebody so somebody that embarrasses another person in public has no share of the world to come but you're allowed to do it under certain conditions what is that condition if the person is considered and someone that's going against on a regular basis talks in is consider so you're allowed to embarrass him you're allow to kick him out of the Sho also if they're a decent person yeah okay tell to shut up then if they're a decent person then they would understand be quiet go talk outside don't talk I mean it's you have to understand if we treat the synagogue like it's a uh Club then you might as well pray at home by yourself but if you're going to treat theet like it's a small B mikdash why would you ever talk or why would you ever tolerate anybody else talking it's either a mikdash or it's a club if it's a club go pray at home you probably have more the by itself doesn't make the place holy it's the seph T with the people around it but if the people around it you're better off taking a and taking it home praying with the by yourself you know it's not if they're all talking and they all they're they're they're they're doing things that are against the to why you praying there I know it's hard to find a sh trust me it's very very hard for me to move right now to find a new community to find a sh it's not easy but to put yourself in a situation where you can't pray you can't focus because people don't shut up why pray there for what it's not you can't focus anyway you know so there has to be a place that's kosher somewhere or try to get somebody to get involved and get people to say listen do me a favor at least this prayer be quiet you know don't say anything after we finish amid go outside talk do whatever you want but let me pray you could do it in all obviously less aggressive ways that I'm talking about but you can get people to be quiet generally it's it's it's very hard to get bigo to be quiet there's always going to be people that talk but when it becomes like a club where everyone talks including the rabbi definitely have to leave like I was in a Sho once where the biggest talker in a Sho was the rabbi not even joking the biggest Talkers in in a Sho with the rabbis a couple rabbis wear in a Sho they were the biggest Talkers in the entire Sho is it better to Sho like that it's not a Sho it's a club yeah no what he talked when when it says that hasem looked at the Torah as a blueprint to create the world what it actually means K explains is that not that the story line was already written not that mosenu was already existed and uh is already made the sin of the golden calf and the Bak already happened with the 24,000 people that died because we went with no that stuff didn't happen he didn't write that that part didn't exist yet what H what it's talking about the Torah that existed 974 Generations before the world is theim the laws soem looked at the laws and he says okay there's a law of Kos okay so I'm going to make pure animals that could be kosher and impure animals that can't be kosher okay there's laws of so I'm going to make the woman have a part of the month that she's able to be pure and a part of the month that she can't be pure I'm gonna have a law of let's say to what's called Torah that they have to read R tah okay so we have a r to we have the concept of writing we have a script we have letters and so on so he looked at the den and and from that he uses a blueprint to create the world not the actual story line that you read where you know Abraham is and yov and the 12 tribes and mosu and so on that stuff was not in a uh before the world that only happened after the fact and when we got to the Torah that received in Mount sa was two parts one was the oral Torah which was all of the laws the details of all of the laws so so all the things that are not written about in the written T like all the things that are not written in the Tor how do we know them because that's oral Tor so we got this at Mount and the second part is that we got the written T up to up to the why only up to because up to is where we were up to at Mount if we would have gone let's say for example up to Bak then we would know the future would know the future so they wouldn't do it they would know about the golden calf so they wouldn't do it because they would know the punishment they would know the sin of the midianite women so they wouldn't do it so wouldn't be any there wouldn't be any uh free choice so hasem didn't write the future he just wrote up to there and he gave it to mosenu and over the next 40 years that we were in a desert every so often hasem would come to Moshe and he tell him write this write this Paras write that par write this Paras and he wrote the rest of the written tah over the next 40 years next much more significant it's much more significant yeah well I mean like I told you there is a the Torah that we have right now we have the written Torah obviously is the written Torah that doesn't change the oral Torah that we have right now is limited to the Torah that we got from a and his five the Torah that even he had andu had and all the people before those five had was much more significant because there was 24,000 people 24,000 T that each had their own each had their own insights so the Torah one of the things we learned from thear is that when someone has their own K it's more valuable to them than n of somebody else even if their is weaker than somebody else's they still love it and connect to it more so the uh they asked the how does he know the whole to by heart this that the whole thing he knows it by heart he go no I don't know by heart I just have a on every single part of the T so I'm forced to remember it but the point is is that it's a they uh we have what we got the oral Tora as far as the Tora in general that's uh is is endless so for example one of the T hos which was RAB one of RAB aka's um uh rabbis said that if all of the ocean was ink and all of the trees were pens and all of the land was paper it wouldn't be enough to write just the Torah that he knew that knew and he his knowledge of Torah was not even the equivalent of a single lick that a dog licks from the ocean of water in comparison to the entire ocean the entire ocean being the the Torah that his rabbis knew and his rabbis their Torah the entire ocean is not even a small tiny frag of the real Torah that's available in sh meaning that it to say endless is an understatement understatement but that's why you know hasem himself is you know it's he connected with to became one with the Tora the holy books Z says and a few other places also talk about says that hem connected with and T all became one the toah became very much a part of hem and the reason why the every single letter in the Tor in the written Tor is uh is important is because every single letter in the Torah is one of the names of hem so aside from having his name the uh UT k v k elim all of those names even the name Shalom the word Shalom you're not allowed to say shalom in let's say a uh mik if you go to a mik you not have to say to somebody Shalom now say the word Shalom you could wave you can say hi you not have to talk if there's naked people not to talk you could say hi you could wave but you can't say the word Shalom why Shalom according toat is one of the names of God so you can't say the name of God it's naked people understand so Hashem has many names one of the many names or some of the many names are each letter of the Hebrew alphabet is a name of hem which is the reason why every single letter in the Tora is Holy because literally every letter is a Mitzvah when you read it every letter in the t is a mitvah because you're literally seeing the name of hasem Hebrew letter meaning you're allowed to say when you wake up um uh but as far as like doing the and you have to do a specific times the you could do even in the middle of the night if you wake up if you wake up out of sleep you say they uh say that um in the old days in order to be a rabbi all you need to do is learn uh uh basic of marriage and no rabstein phone number why because when you had questions you call Rab MOS at any time during the day he give you the answer so one time somebody called mste a rabbi called RAB M Feinstein at 3 o00 in the morning he called him at 3:00 in the morning like oh I'm sorry for calling you waking you up I'm really really sorry but this question is really really important and I really need the answer now I'm sorry I'm sorry okay just ask me the question okay but I just woke you up are you okay he goes listen ask me the question if before I answer your question I say that means that you woke me up if I don't that means you didn't wake me up so you asked him the question he answered the question without saying because he was awake no you slept like a normal sleep not if you slept on your chair if you slept like on a bed fell asleep on your chair or fell asleep on a bed if you fell asleep laying down like a normal ordinary way of sleep then you have to do you have to if you f normally not if you fall asleep on your chair yeah like I fall asleep twice no you only have to do it if you're going to go if you wake up and you want to learn T then you have to do T but if you're going to go back to sleep you don't have to do you have to Blessings if you want to learn for a minute you have to do if you fell asleep normally again yeah if it's during the night if it's during the day then it holds up for the whole day but next Ken it's says that someone that learns T all night on is a special blessing that he want special where he learns all night without sleeping without even like uh n without even like closing their eyes like learns all night there uh there's a special for them to be have protection the whole year to have a lot of throughout the whole year there's a lot of a lot of uh great blessings on on this night of sh uh one of the main reasons is that we learn all night by the way on shat is because in Mount siai uh felt a little too comfortable and uh they fell asleep before for they fell asleep so to obviously there wasn't a good look before you're getting the holiest thing in creation you fall asleep wasn't exactly a good look for us so to show Hashem that we're actually excited that he's giving us the Tora we learn all night but as far as the for the it's pretty simple it's like Shabbat you can't light fire you can't drive you can't play with your phone no Facebook no Twitter No WhatsApp no YouTube no tour anytime know nothing you have to learn t uh at night you learn T all night for the men the women are not obligated with learning to all night uh they could you know read some T go to sleep ordinarily uh in the morning the men uh go straight from learning to to praying pray toet after that you could sleep for a little bit uh and then you do in the morning you eat uh you eat dairy uh the reason why we eat dairy is because when Moses came down from Mount siai um everyone already was prepared for the celebration of getting the Torah said they already they already um slaughtered all the cows but since they slaughtered all the cows before they got the Torah that means they didn't follow the kosher laws so M told them all of these animals the millions of animals that you slaughtered right now they're all you have to throw them out so there wasn't enough time to slaughter more animals so the only thing they had left was dairy products so that's the reason why we eat dairy in the morning of shabat but let's not confuse a lot of people confused they think that the entire shabat only eats dairy products that's wrong it's actually that you have to eat meat you have to eat meat on on any y it's just like it's Aah Just Like L you have to eat meat specifically there's a stringency where you should eat bakal you should eat like meat meat not chicken if you eat chicken if you don't have a choice if you could only afford chicken then eat chicken but if you could afford meat then eat meat you know uh it's very very important to eat meat uh on holidays it's part of of Y to eat meat um obviously kosher if you don't have Kosher meat don't eat uh and uh so you eat you learn TOA you relax with the family it it's pretty simple enjoyable holiday uh there's not really that many uh other than you know obviously observing like Shabbat as far as a uh fire to fire but in general you're not really allowed to smoke overall but if you already have an addiction there is a leniency for people that have an addiction already to cigarettes that you're allowed to have fire to fire uh but it's a uh again you're not really allowed to smoke cigarettes ever forget about uh smoking cigarettes on holidays or your or anything like that um as far as uh cooking obviously fire to fire but uh again it's a uh most important part is to learn tah be with the family enjoy the holiday don't violate it simple simple to be a Jew simple you just have to want to do it if you don't want to do it it's the most difficult thing in the world no finished milk slows you it's possible I've never heard of I don't know never heard of it I'll check it I'll check into it wine makes you want to sin wine makes you drunk can but it's a uh wine makes you yes wine makes you want to S but it's also depends how much wine dep much and also a few other places talks about that everything is the same between Shabbat and yum um so me it say uh with the exception of cooking exception of cooking where you're allowed to uh have fire to fire everything else is the same I mean it's a uh I don't necessarily know if the magnitude of the punishment on YT is the same as uh as Shabbat but I definitely know it's you're not on the good list uh it's definitely up there I just don't I don't know exactly off the punishments off top of my head of uh we finished T we know everything now ready for uh yto anybody online have any questions before we uh go let's see we still trying to figure out H yeah let's do that oh here we go there's a can hide in any way finish conversion pray in a Jewish way like if someone is in the process of um version then they are allowed to pray in a they're allowed to keep they're allowed to learn the entire tah the oral tah and the written tah if they're in the process of conversion if they're not in the process of a conversion and they have no intention of converting then they're not allowed to do any of those things so the person Ain zo asked the question it's a good question isem we'll continue learning more hopefully we're going to start a uh week series soon of uh questions and answers probably during a day uh and uh we'll answer a lot of the questions live but uh all of you enjoy the holiday celebrate remind yourselves that yes not only you get to tah but why what are you going to do with it now that you have it that's really what we're learning from this mishna listen if it's important to you then you know that for getting it put your life on the line if it's not important to you should go back to the beginning of the M amen
