Shiur Torah #104 Be Careful If You Do Kiruv, Be Worried If You Don't

[Music] good to see some new faces we have uh this week a very very interesting lot of action in this lot of teachings we'll uh try to cover as much of it as possible uh but first to answer your question in regards to going to sh T versus learning from a CD now learning T is an obligation that all of is have every single Jew is obligated to learn tah and as a matter of fact even the go are obligated to know what their laws are they have to learn the seven noahide laws which is you know the seven rules that Hashem gave the first six of them to ad then the seventh one he gave it to Noah and that's the reason why it's called the seven noahide laws because he was the last one that actually got the the last of the seven but the seven noahide laws unlike what most people think it's not only seven laws it's seven of those specific laws plus plus all of the laws in the Torah that are common sense anything that's common sense so for for example in tah it says that you have to respect your mother and your father that's not one of the seven noahide laws but obviously it's common sense in order for us to have a civilized uh people whether they're Jews or Gentile obviously we have to respect our parents that's common sense same thing goes with anything else that's common sense in reality the noahide laws are somewhere around 60 laws about 60 laws but the difference between the noahide laws versus is the uh the Torah the laws the MIT of is that the MIT is have the way we know that their significance is by the punishment we uh since we don't really know what's good in this world everything that we think is good is usually bad for us so most guys think that having a nice car is good it's not very good why because it's going to attract the wrong attention EI either Satan is going to get you a girl that only wants money or it's going to be people giving you uh you know evil eye all types of things so we already know there's not there's more of a disadvantage of having fancy car than disadvantage uh than Advantage uh second thing is guys think that uh having a lot of money is good according to the tah being very wealthy is a bigger test to pass that's a bigger difficulty to pass that type of test than to pass a test of poverty now to most people that didn't have a lot of money it doesn't seem like a test at all everyone says give me a lot of money watch what I do I'm gonna be the biggest sadik I'm gonna donate to to kiru I'm going to donate to ks I'm going to do this I'm going to do that just give me the money and watch me do it okay I'm going to tell you from experience of millions and millions of dollars that have gone through my hands it's not realistic most of the time the people that have a lot of money unless they have a real serious Foundation of Tora before they got the money there's no chance you're going to pass that test no chance why because money is a very very difficult test it's a very very big so we think money is good in reality for most of us money is not good doesn't necessarily mean that it's bad it can be used for good things that's how we survive and uh unfortunately in this world we need money but at the same token it's something it's a very very big responsibility so much so that the uh I believe it was the uh benishai one day came home and he found out that his wife bought a lotto ticket and he started crying saying to her listen you have to promise me that you whatever you win you're going to keep 100% of it 100 I don't want any of it and none of the ticket is mine I don't want even one penny from it so one of his students said you don't want to be rich he goes no Shalom I don't want to be rich and he says okay well that's a pretty harsh answer why not why wouldn't you want to be rich cuz you know what kind of responsibility it is says if I'm rich as a righteous Jew if I'm rich I need to make sure that every single person that's connected to me directly or indirectly is doing okay meaning there's no way that I could have all this extra money and there some friend that I forgot about or I forgot to call or I forgot to connect to or some relative or a friend or a friend or someone that's connect Ed to me in some way or another that doesn't have food for Shabbat you know what kind of punishment I'm going to get for this in sham that I have all this extra money and I didn't take the extra time to find out that everybody's okay he goes who wants this problem this is the mind of a sadik versus us we have no clue what we want we want more money understand so having money is a very big responsibility most people fail the test miserably how do we know just look at the biggest Jewish donators in the world obviously the Jewish people historically have donated more than any other Nation even though there's churches out there that have 50,000 100,000 200,000 members and they donate on a regular basis historically we've donated an enormous amount of money uh for all types of things unfortunately a lot of the donations have been a complete waste of money we donate billions of dollars to hospitals just to put our names on it we donate billions of dollars to universities just to teach people that we came from monkeys and things that are against the Torah we donate billions of dollars to get our uh you know all types of uh different types of organizations like the Red Cross or uh you know all these other organizations that have nothing to do with Torah and some of them are even anti- Torah what about the people that are actually helping save am like for example doing kiru or for example the little T in J that are you know all day they're learning to the only reason the world exists is because of them you know how much money they make $500 a month $500 a month a family with seven8 nine children $500 a month minimum to cost of living even a a basic life I'm not even talking about like a standards of America basic life talking about and according to America standards is considered complete poverty but basic basic life you need about $2,000 a month with seven eight kids which means that they already start off the month $1500 negative and this is not to learn two hours a day this is to learn from morning to night 1 hour break morning tonight not no like hey let's have some coffee let's smoke some cigarettes let's hang out hey what' you do this weekend no morning tonight learning nonstop five $100 a month you try to go to one of those calls try to survive one day people think it's easy to learn T try to survive one day without falling asleep after 5 minutes try to survive one day without ripping all of your hair out of your head because it's so difficult people think it's oh no he's learning all day he's having a good time it's easy for him I'm lifting boxes and buildings and cars mental strain is much much more difficult than physical strain strain I know this from experience it's much much more difficult learn Tora all day most people most people and by most I mean 99.999% of the population will not survive cannot do it it's very very difficult and what do they get for it $500 a month where do so where all the billions go where are the uh the you know we have on a billionaire list in the for billionaire list there's a bunch of Jews there's a bunch of Jews over there how come did not donating a few million dollars not a few billion they donate the few billion to somewhere else few million dollars to a few call where's the money going no what do you mean it's for Tora no it's not for us I need to have my name on a building I need to have my name on the University so from here we learn from kazal is that in order to to actually donate for the two most important causes that we have in the Torah one being for learning of Torah because that's the purpose of this world I mean and one is for kiru which is to save souls to get people back to Hashem to get people back to learning T back to doing to get them to be righteous those are the two most important things but the least amount of money goes to them so from here we learn that in order to donate whether it's a uh to CDs or to lectures or to an $500 a month or whatever it is you actually have to have you actually have to have Merit in heaven for hem to allow it to happen to allow you to donate the money why why does AEM care why didn't he say listen the guy wants to donate ,000 let him donate $1,000 why you getting in the way Hashem the guy just just made a few th000 he wants to donate $1,000 the guy just made a few million dollars he also wants to Don a few a few thousand or maybe no the guy made a few million dollars he wants to put $100 Shalom he doesn't want to donate too much the rabbi's got enough he's got enough look he's got a Gatorade in his uh fridge he has to be rich so how do we know Hashem cares Hashem gets in the way Hashem gets in the way he doesn't let it happen why I meant this I said this verse several times in lectures and people don't get it people don't understand the significance this is in the Torah what I'm telling you right now it's not my opinion butom I don't tell you my opinion my opinions are generally rare on my lectures but this is actually in the Torah in the book of Jeremiah chapter 15 verse 19 therefore thus said Hashem so it's not a second party Hashem said this it's not me it's not even Jeremiah it's not Moses it's not Jacob it's not some Rabbi from some small organization AEM said this you believe in a torm said it's the book of Jeremiah thus said hem if you repent if you do chuva I will bring you back and let you stand before me meaning hasem is telling you no matter what sins you made in your life you always going to have an opportunity to do chuva chuva is available to all doing repentance is available to all but genuine chuva not listen I just stole $10 million but I'm going to give a million dollar inaka no you got to return the $10 million and if they catch you you have to return 20 if you admit if you stole money and you admit you have to return what you owe but if they catch you you have to return double according to the Torah what happen if you don't give back double if you don't give back double if they catch you don't give back double then you have to come back in a reincarnation and pay back one way or another you have to pay back one way or another so Hashem says doesn't matter what sins you made you did Serious chuva I'll accept you not only I accept you you'll stand next to me what does it mean stand next to me who knows hem is telling you listen a lot of people think if you're B chuva you're like a second rate citizen you're convert ah what's the big convert no I'm from from birth I was born religious no not in hashem's eyes hashem's eyes says if you do chuva you'll stand right next to me there's no like second rate citizens as a matter of fact the gar the oral Tora says the level that I that a um Bal Chua can reach a BAL Chua can reach is higher than someone that's been righteous from birth a real B cha someone that did true repentance during his life can reach a higher level than someone that was righteous his whole life so hem says no if you do serious chuva it's no such thing such thing as second R citizen what is it Opposite you'll stand next to me not even next to my uh my angels you'll stand next to me you stand next to me tells you do serious Juba that's the first half of the verse second half of the verse is what talking about here but if you bring forth an honorable person from a glutton then you will be like my mouth if you do chuva you'll stand next to me but if you make somebody else do chuva not just you did chuva you make somebody else you gave somebody a CD cost $1 he listened to the CD he realized Shabbat is the most important mitvah he realized he listened to C he realize he can't waste seed he realize he cannot be with into marriage he realized these things he realized hm is real he started doing cha $1 it cost you he says you'll be like my mouth what does it mean you be like my mouth the one that push you to to the yes see this what we're talking about the one the one that you actually that hold you accountable to it 100% but the key here is that you have to let's let's first cover this and we'll go into your question he's telling you if you do chuva you're standing next to me but if you make somebody else do Chua you influence somebody either by saying specific words or by supporting someone that's doing it or by taking a CD and giving it to them or by taking a free link on YouTube free link on YouTube it says Torah science and ancient wisdom a sure we did last week and somebody watches the sh and that's Chua because of it starts as Chua starts learning to every day free doesn't cost any money say RAB everybody has money you're right Hashem says it's free it's free it's on YouTube it's on Torah anytime phenomenal website everyone should watch shim it's much cleaner if you're already watching you should watch it over there but nonetheless free link you give it the guy does CH Because of You Hashem says you'll be like my mouth obviously Hashem has no image or likeness of an image he has no body we're not Christians that think that uh some guy came up and he's an image of God that's complete 100% heresy how God doesn't have an image doesn't have a likeness of an image he's not a human being so what does it mean you're going to be like my mouth so the S just asked asked God God responded says I created the Heaven and the Earth and I can bring back the dead I'm the only thing that can make nothing into something a rock that doesn't hear doesn't see doesn't speak could generate water well when I want it to just like we learned from this week's par a few moments we'll go into I'm the only thing that can make nothing into something mankind that invent things they're not inventing from nothing they're taking something that exists and they're innovating they're not inventing they're innovating they're taking something that already exists no one discovered or created electricity they discovered it already existed no one invented gravity they discovered it exists everything that's any good already existed before we came here the the only one that could create is Hashem and Hashem is telling you just like I created the Heaven and the Earth and everything in between and I can bring back the dead you'll be able to also you'll be like my mouth so now we go back and we think wait a minute so you're telling me if I go I sponsor some CDs I support some rabbis that do K I give out I send some links for free on the internet I arrange a SE for 10 15 20 people to come 100 people a thousand people thousand people show up two people do Chua you're telling me I'm going to be like God no I'm not telling you that God's telling you that God's telling you your prayers get VIP treatments you're no longer an average person everyone has prayers everyone has merits but there's also there's also prosecutors against you based on your sins every time you make a sin you create a prosecutor thear says every time someone makes a mitvah they create an angel every time they make a sin they make a prosecutor a demon so when you pray up to to Hashem Hashem please help me get a new job I want to make money so I could help support kiru the prosecutor also goes up there said no no no hasm wait a minute wait a minute before you give him this job where he's going to make $10,000 a week and support all this kiru that he wants to do which we know he's going to do wait a minute look last week he played on his with his phone on Shabbat the week before that he went with a non-jew the week before that he ate pizza non kosher Place thinking it's uh he's allowed because it's only cheese the week before that he wasted seed says H my signature is emit hashem's signature is emit what's emit truth I have to comply with my own Torah I can't give somebody with such a filthy record now he hasn't done Chua the guy Shabbat he's inter marrying he's doing all this I can't give this person with a filthy mouth the ability to speak like me that his blessings get a VIP treat why why would I give him such a why would I give him such a right no so now you're not only not getting the job in $10,000 because now you're getting nothing why hasem doesn't want you to have the Merit of speaking like him so what about all those people that have the money they already have the money they don't need the job every time they want to do some type of a donation some little local Rabbi says listen listen we need $115,000 for a uh Hanukah party and another $112,000 for a poing party and another $27,000 for my kitchen I'm your Rabbi sure you know what Rabbi sure sure $50,000 no problem no problem why because this this we're Merit is he getting from that maybe there's one Mitzvah coming out of the whole thing maybe most like there no mitvah whatsoever coming out of it why because most of these parties they don't actually teach real Tora they they you know most of the people show up half naked no one tells them that they no one tells them that they have to start doing Chua so you just spend $50,000 on zil nothing zero merits you think you got a mitvah you think you're aad you got zero if anything you got sins why didem let that happen why is the guy that it's supporting uh parties why can't he donate $1,000 for some CD is going to save some life says I don't want this filthy mouth of his to speak like me I want only righteous people righteous people have a merit and this is one of the things we don't understand people think when they donate to ra mrai and they send the CDs or they do to me or RAB Al NAA the people that are actually helping save Souls from am they're doing us a favor you don't understand the favor is all yours this is not arrogance this is not anything this is what hasem is telling you and this is one of the things that I sometimes expect a lot from people there are two traits that even before Chua I could never stand two things that I can stand as till this day I'm working on my ability to try to handle it most people I can handle them sometimes people are angry I could handle angry people people are this people are that I can handle most types of things there's two things that I can't handle that's hard for me at least with I'm getting better at it one is Liars I can't stand liars someone that's Liars it's a liar I usually can't communicate with them because what's the point for what well it's a fake conversation go somewhere else talk to somebody else why you wasting my time they tell me one story I find out it's a different story it's a waste of my time Liars I never liked if I find out somebody lied to me when I was in a business day somebody Li to me I immediately disconnect there's no more relationship there's no more business the business ends doesn't matter how big small the client is it's relevant I don't like liars that to I heard it's not good huh I heard it's not right to do that it's a sin it's the only to cut somebody like that you're not supposed oh to cut somebody listen it depends depends what kind of person he is it depends where your position is in business world I wasn't thinking t in today's world I try to think about toah all the time so I try to give people more benefit of the doubt but it's also my own tun where I know that it's very difficult for me to deal with Liars because again if I tell somebody listen this is the information that Hashem said this is going to help you they tell me that they're doing everything that I I you know that the Torah says and then I find out from their wife that they're beating her every day this is a person that the relationship just changed over yes of course I'm going to try to help him just for the sake of this poor woman for the wife but if I was in the business days I would never even call the person or answer their calls so again my position in life today is different but this is again my own uh thing that I hate I hate dealing with Liars the second thing is cheap people people that are cheap and the reason why is because when someone is cheap they have a very limited mind it's a certain type of Personality they a very limited mindset where they think that if someone else has it should have been mine that means it's less for me if somebody has one store and a competition open store next to him he think just because you open a store that means I'm going to make less money that's completely not true or someone says listen if I give him money then he's going to have more than me so why should I give him it's just a mentality it's very very uh very common Unfortunately today but for me it's one of the things that I deal with a lot and I've always had a hard time dealing with people that are cheap and my father always said something funny about cheap people he said it's a disease you have to feel bad for them because they're the type of people that are scared to go to the bathroom so they don't have to eat again and buy the food so now you know raising money for the CDs or raising money for the organization anyone here anyone on the internet's watching sh many many people over the last two or three years have gotten our KY Ro packages with the wonderful book by Rabbi zamir Cohen uh the CDs the different pamphlets all of that stuff costs money you know we don't charge any a dollar for any of it but it all cost money so when someone said you know when someone I know is Rich have money and you know they sent a donation for like $20 if it wasn't for a mitvah if it wasn't that I wouldn't be allowed I would send him the $20 back but they don't but now when you learn this Tora you realize you can't even look at it that you can't even look at the cheap person as bad why he doesn't have the Merit mkin the poor guy doesn't have the Merit you should feel bad for him he has a million dollars in the bank he send you $20 he send you $100 he has a million dollars in the bank sent you $100 you can't be upset you should be upset for him why because the Misan the poor guy he doesn't have the Merit to even give zakat to something that's worthwhile this is what I always tell people when you see someone that's wicked doesn't keep any of the mitv doesn't keep any of the basic completely acting like a non-jew when he's obligated to be a Jew but you see him driving a Ferrari every Shabbat you see him living in a $5 million mansion say how how is this Justice how is this a it is a met and it says it at the end of in the book of Deuteronomy Hashem says for my righteous ones that keep my mitv my lovers he calls them I pay them for thousands of generations but for my haters meaning the ones that don't keep the MIT I pay them cash to their face to eliminate them I will not delay their payment I pay them cast to their face in their lifetime translation hasem says someone that's completely Wicked and is on a path where it doesn't seem like they're going to do chuva anytime soon something drastic has to happen for them to do chuva hasem says I have to pay him for the few mitv he did he donated $5 some homeless guy he uh there was three MIT that came out of the poing party spent $50,000 for her he um gave a Kala that he didn't want to some guy that came to his door you know he did a few mitv I got to pay him for that he did once when he was 13 years old by accident cuz his father told him he has to I have to pay him for those I have to pay him for those few mitv he didn't want to do it he was 13 years old he's not interested in Judaism but his father said listen you have to doin so it's not really willingly doingin he's doing it because his father said so so what happened hasem says oh you did feel I'll give you a building you give you gave $5 to all this guy I'll give you a kid oh you gave $50,000 three people ended up saying because $50,000 party three people said cuz only three people knew the okay so you get a merit for that okay so I'm going to give you a nice wife you did a few other things I'm going to give you a house da da all the things I give the guy $100 million for these few me why is theem giving him so much says in the verse to eliminate him what does it me eliminate him I'm going to pay him all of this reward in this life to eliminate him meaning after this world after this short life you have 70 80 120 years you live here is a real life starts that's Eternal I don't want to see him there he has no share of the world to come I don't want to see him he goes to a different place not a fun place not a place with good things very hot what about his kids if the kids good question if the children do chuva the kids do chuva they have they have reward they have eternal life but if they continue their parents Wicked Behavior they get punished for both it's even worse for them what's the problem because a kid that ra this way he doesn't know better he doesn't know better that would be true if there was such a thing as a kid if there was such a thing as a child then yes you would be true but there really isn't such a thing as a child there's Eternal Souls we've been here before okay we've lived here before this is not the first time we're in this world every one of us has a Reincarnation of once twice or even 10 times before this which means that each time we didn't complete our mission so we have to come back here as which is partial punishment and partial Mercy which means that if you came into a family that's full of wicked people that's your test that's your test you deserved your test whatever you have you deserve which means if anyone in the world has any form of suffering any form of suffering they need to understand this there's no such thing as suffering without sin but not just sin by him so let's say you find out one day Shalom a guy finds out he's very sick find out he's very sick has one of these diseases that doesn't go away of course he suffering but everybody else is suffering also M the mother the Father the brothers the sisters the friends the teachers the students the co-workers all these people also suffering my friend is dying my friend is this everybody's suffering what is hasem telling you here they all deserve it also it's not just him everyone deserves it everyone made some type of sin to deserve the punishment that they're getting no such thing as suffering without sin this is the real truth why because if someone did not deserve it out of the entire circle you have one guy that's suffering as a decree on him to get a disease Shalom get a disease there a decree in sham his circle is 50 people there one guy out of the 50 is 49 49 Wicked people one guy sadik one guy M amazing hem loves him amazing righteous person doesn't deserve the suffering just for him hasem wouldn't punish this guy just for him just for him just for the guy that's righteous Not For The Wicked guy that deserve the decree just for the guy for the sadik that he knows that he would hear oh yeah my friend from College my friend from the Yesa before I did chuva my friend from kindergarten my neighbor my brother shalom anything somebody that's connected to me suffering I'm going to suffer I don't deserve suffer hm says I don't deserve suffering just for that sadik he won't suffer that's how perfect Hashem is which means that everyone that's involved in a story there's a reason whym is paying him this this suffering sometimes it's all of the time it's to their benefit because it's better to suffer here for 70 years like job suffered than one hour in Gom says if someone's suffering should check his actions of course it's if there's no suffering without sin so now when someone is giving first of all they have to look at it like an investment you invest into a big building you invest into a big house you invest into a business you're going to check out what you're investing in you're not just going to say oh yeah you know what it's a nice business I like the uh sign they have on the door okay I'll give you a million dollars yeah go inside the business see what they sell maybe they're not selling anything maybe it's just a sign there's nothing inside you're going to go inside right you're going to check who works here who does the books how much money do the company make how much is actual profits is anyone stealing is it audited you're going to check you're going to do investigation you're not just going to buy it you're looking at a property is there any tenants are they paying what kind of tenants is it just uh bars that go out of business every seven months on the average or is it banks that never go out of business if it's a bunch of banks that's a good building you know they're going to pay on time if the building is full of bars and clubs that's a terrible building it's worth nothing why because they're going to go out of business in the next few months at best they're going to survive 2 three years years and then you have to get a new tenant and a new tenant and new tenant and when they leave they destroy the building it's terrible investment so when you invest you're going to check these things right but this is just for this world why why you checking so much it's just for this world the only way you're going to live here 70 years 80 years 100 years you're going to live 123 like lived 123 years you're going to live like him fine but what about the eternal life why don't you do some investigation for that why don't you do some investigation to find out where is going poor and party how I going to get for porn party Hanukkah party how much I'm going to get for Hanukah party Bill putting another chandelier for $3,000 theet how many mitah going to get for the chandelier by the way I'm not even sure if it's a mitvah especially if somebody puts the sign of their name on the chandelier you know sometimes you go to beet you have a beautiful Chandelier donated by Mr and Mrs this for theot of this family for the Merit of the kids's birthday and then they have like a whole Milla on this the the chandelier $3,000 the sin is500 it's true if I wasn't saying if anything I said was not true no one would laugh it's true it's it's funny cuz it's true so now when someone is giving they have to investigate where is my money going eternally where is it going is it a waste of money or is it worth something if they start looking at their book of they like look at their donations look I donated in my lifetime I donated let's say somebody says they donated $10 million $10,000 $5 whatever they donated they look they know how much they donated in their life everyone knows a proxim they remember it why cuz every time you donate especially when someone is not very generous when they're not very very generous they still remember the $15 they gave the rabbi when they're generous they remember how much they gave why because every place they donated has their sign of their name on it oh yeah wait a minute the the University Building yeah that was a $100 million but he listen everybody sees my name before they go into the door the hospital yeah that was 150 million I don't really know what they heal over there but it's a very nice sign look it's on the internet they have a website they called the hospital after my name so they remember that also cheap or generous they remember everyone knows how much they donate if you look at your account you look at your account how much you donated and you look at kiru and you look at Torah real legitimate Torah not somebody that may learn like real legitimate like a or an actual someone that's actually learning t or that's providing for these and you see next to it either zero or a very very small number proportionally you have to do serious serious chuat probably more than anyone whym says you don't even have the Merit to give real and that my friends is a bad position to be in it's a very bad position to be in when hasem says you don't even have Merit to give the go even have a merit to give a chosen person someone that was born into does not have the Merit to give what bad position we're in this is the world we live in this is the things we need to talk about I did not plan on talking about any of this I didn't even think about any of this but as I always tell you guys I could prepare a sh for five hours or five days when we arrive at the lecture hasem gives me the words so now we have and kazal asks since we know the t is perfect there's no mistakes in the T there's no extra letters there's nothing that's out of place everything is exactly where it's supposed to be but it's strange last week's Paras we learn about the punishment of korak and his congregation all went against mosenu and Aon and hasem they thought they were just going against Aon and Moshe but by going against Moshe and Aon you're going against God everyone remember what happened to them who went against what where they go hell oh okay what's what's what's hell called ah okay so it's written in the Torah right so why people say that hell doesn't exist they don't want to believe it but it says it they don't listen oh okay so let's listen so last week we learned kak and his 250 rabbis that followed him that were her the and all of their families with the exception of kak's kids that did CH in the last minute everyone went to sh the ground open swallowed them up and they will never get out according to RAB AKA says they have not only no share of the world to come they'll never get out of there it's called it's the worst level of Gom Gom has seven levels even when mashia comes they're going to stay there there what does never mean never never means never but there is an opinion there is an opinion in the [Applause] same page 109 RAB elzar and RAB say that there is a chance that kak will come out there is a chance Raba says no says there's a chance not for sure yes but there's a chance 50 chance even 1% is better than nothing so we have a par with a serious serious punishment for people that went against T and then we have this par a lot of action lot of action in this but it starts off with the mitvah of the red cow the red heer this is the Mitzvah that SCH in the Book of Ecclesiastes 7: 23 SCH wrote three books Song of Songs Ecclesiastes and Proverbs three books that three books in Ecclesiastes 7: 23 says I said I would be wise but it is far for me he's talking about the red count hasem certified that SCH is the wisest man that ever lived no one will be no one ever was no one will be smarter than it's a gift that hasem said Hashem signed off on it he gave him a gift but says red cow I don't understand why we do it I don't understand I don't understand how it works it doesn't make any sense the first coin the first coin there's there's three people involved first there's someone that Slaughters the red cow then there's the coin that takes the blood and sprinkles it then they burn the cow then they throw in a um uh some grass some hiip grass and a worm in there and also a cedar tree three other ingredients into it after they burn it into the ashes and a third person after after they kill it after they slaughter it they burn the red cow and with the ashes they add these three ingredients and then they use this to purify the nation anyone that touch the dead body is impure and there certain things that make somebody impure if they touched a certain types of bugs if uh they did certain things anyway there's certain things that people become impure without going into all the make somebody pure impure the point is let's try to focus on this Mitzvah of the red cow it's the only way for the Jewish people to become pure there's no impurity or Purity in the non-jewish world there's only Purity and impurity in the Jewish World just three people involved in order for anyone that is impure they just bury the body very nice guy sadik but he's impure it's a dead body they come back you got to get purified without being purified you're not allowed to do a lot of different things and if someone goes into the Tabernacle without being purified not only is it death benefit it says they cut off if someone if a Coen doesn't become uh pure he's he becomes impure and he goes into the Tabernacle the mishkan to service hem he's not going to hang out with friends play cards he's not playing Texas hold him he's going to the service hem he works for hem says you went into my house went to the mdash without being pure not only is a death penalty he's cut off from the nation he's not considered Jewish cut off why you violated my house he didn't violate my house violate hashem's house it's different my house it's not like hashem's house we try we learn a lot of Torah but it's not like hm's house hm's house serious my house has cell phones aem's house no cell phones not allow cell phones in hashem's house no texting no texting either says why is such a harsh punishment no the world to come no share of the world to come big problem who else gets this punishment someone violat Shabbat someone plays with their phone on Shabbat someone drives on Shabbat smokes a cigarette on Shabbat a Jewish person smokes a cigarettes on Shabbat drives on Shabbat yeah Shabbat violators Shabbat someone violates Shabbat plays with their phone like they do during a sh they played on Shabbat also Hashem says it 12 times in a cut off from the nation no share of the world to come Eternal a lot of uh a lot of goodies what Happ Chua chva you start over serious chuva you start all over but if he doesn't do chuva you they have a serious problem if this Coen does chuva he could potentially could be saved what if he didn't know he was impure he didn't know he was impure if he didn't know that it's considered then it's not but if he knows that he's impure then uh then then it's different but here's actually you know what this is exactly every question you ask reminds me of something else I wanted to mention there's a very very big misunderstanding in our generation that for some strange reason even though it's the foundation of our religion it's the foundation of the Tor to know what I'm about to tell you no one teaches it as a matter of fact the opposite they teach the opposite and by no one I don't mean the rabbis that I always mention like Rabbi mrai RAB NAA that teach the truth and a few other righteous rabbis in the world to teach the truth but know what I mean the M vast majority why that don't teach the truth there's a teaching out there what has a foundation but it's wrong that if someone doesn't know if they don't know what it is to sin on Shabbat what it is to violate Shabbat what it is to waste seed what it is to not eat kosher they don't know they don't know that's a it's a big deal but you know you know you figure listen if he's making a sin without knowing then it's considered shog meaning it's considered accidental it's not intentional sin so it's a lesser punishment it's a punishment 100% punishment but it's it's a lesser punishment now what happens is sometimes you have rabbis out there or people that call themselves rabbis but according to the to they considered Heretics where they said listen I know this guy he drives every Shabbat he goes to casinos he's married to a non-jew he's this he's that if I tell him about Shabbat he's not going to do it so what's the point of telling him at least when he's making the sin it's accidental it's shog ch and he donates a lot of money and he donates a lot of money to the besset his name is under the besset but the point here is if I tell him and he knows and he still sins then it's considered intentional it's called maid what happened to the second getet that about rabbis who tell you it's okay that he drove CU he would have went to the beach if not drive to sh same same answer same same question same answer so the rabbi is thinking or even the regular Jew the friend his brother is driving on Shabbat or his friend his roommate is driving on Shabbat he doesn't tell him says Nah even if I tell him he's not going to do it he's still going to violate so might as well not tell him because if I don't tell him at least maybe counts in sham that it's accidental but if I tell him then it's intentional it's a bigger punishment wrong wrong now there is a concept called which means that someone who doesn't know that they're Jewish they're born into a family like a lot of people unfortunately during the Holocaust A lot of the Jewish parents gave their babies so they don't get killed by these the not they gave their babies away to go and they raised them as non-jews so some of these people grew up and didn't even know they were Jewish this happened or perhaps in Russia in Ukraine you weren't allowed to practice religion so a lot of the new generations don't even know what Judaism is they heard what Jewish is but they don't know what it actually means that's considered Jew that's considered like a baby that's lost that's different that's is considered accidental but someone that lives in America where there's 6 million Jews a bunch of which keep something most don't but everyone knows what Judaism is you've seen Black and Whites you've seen the kidish guys you know what Shabbat is you've heard what Shabbat is you've heard there is something called a Shabbat someone lives in Israel every two seconds you see someone with a black hat black and white everyone knows who people know what Judaism is they may not know the real laws but they know what it is they're not considered they considered 100% Jewish and they are obligated to learn so now by someone saying listen if I tell if I don't tell him it's accidental but if I tell him and he still violates it then it's considered intentional this is 100% wrong why proof we always need proof in our generation we have a proof not only from the oral Torah but the foundation of oral Torah what is it before thear what this is M ethics of our fathers M chapter 4 Mish 16 translation R said be meticulous in study for a careless Mis interpretation is considered 10 amount to willful transgression interpretation if someone sins that are accidental they light the light on Shabbat they smoke a cigarette on Shabbat they eat non kosher it's accidental they don't know but if they don't know no because they didn't study and they refuse to study then it turns into intentional sin anyway because they refuse whether you tell him or not it's still going to be intentional why because he only doesn't know because he refuses to study not because you didn't tell him he doesn't know because he refuses to study to he refuses to learn what it is so the person that thinking this and I rather not tell him or tell him they're not doing you're not doing him any favors his sins are still going to be considered intentional it's still considered mazid why because it's coming because of lack of study lack of learning what to is there's no such thing as just a free ticket if I don't know everything is accidental it's complete nonsense so now the rabbi to answer your question on the rabbi or the guy that calls himself a rabbi and chooses is not to tell people the truth the in and also inat two tractates in the Tora and also I think it says in as well but I know for sure those first two it says in the days of the bet mikash in the days of the BET mikdash hasem destroyed the bet mikdash he destroyed his own house but before he destroyed his own house he punished the people we're going to learn in the nth of which is in early August what happened during the destruction of bet mikdash the first one and the second one anyone that thinks that the Holocaust was bad it was you're 100% right it was horrific and mayem revenge avenge their blood but it's no comparison in comparison to what happened during the destruction of the bet mdash the first one and the second one and if killing if I'm telling you I'm not a crazy person and I'm not discounting the holocost by any stretch of the imagination I mourn their souls like any other Jew but if I'm telling you that what happened during the Holocaust is not a comparison even to what happened during the destruction of bet mikdash I'm telling you I know what I'm talking about it's not my opinion you read it in the books destruction of the bet mikash this is what you're supposed to learn on to give you a small taste small taste without depressing you completely the amount of blood amount of blood from the from the murders of Jews the amount of blood that roamed in the streets turned into a river that reached the stomach of the horses stomach of the horses up to the we talking about 3 four feet to the stomach three4 feet a river river this is the smallest example there was the first bet M and a second one and a second one River there's a long river two so when hasem delivered the punishment for the sins we made he wasn't joking around but before he destroyed the BET mikdash thear says he punished the righteous people first theim so the sages ask why did you punish the responds because they did not rebuke the nation they didn't tell everyone to do Chua therefore they're not considered sikim they were selfish they're not considered complete sikim they made some they wore black and white maybe they went to B they did they learned a lot of Torah a lot of Torah but without the you must rebuke your brother you must rebuke your nation you must tell them when they're making sins and tell them they have to do CH without doing K you cannot be considered a complete sadik and someone that knows toah that sees another person sinning and doesn't say anything someone that they connected to not just some stranger someone they connected to in one way or another doesn't say anything according to the the one that actually redacted that wrote the mishna 2500 years ago says he takes the sin himself you know Shabbat you don't tell him anything you see him driving every Shabbat you don't say by the way you know you don't stop violating Shabbat you have a serious problem with hasem well what kind of problem if you want come to sh on Tuesday Tuesday 8:30 rieron is going to tell you what the problem is cuz I don't remember everything or I don't know how to say it the right way or I think you should just hear the rest of this you whatever you want to say look at YouTube or if you want I'll send you a I'll give you a CD cost only a dollar and if I don't have the dollar of your own's going to give it to me for free just help somebody do chuva For Heaven's Sake someone you know is not doing chva because you don't tell him says you become the Violator of Shabbat he violated Shabbat you keep Shabbat you arrive to Sham you arrive to hem you arrive to Heaven say ah I keep shabat 70 years Shem says no you're a violator you're Shabbat violator what no no no what do you mean I I kept Shabbat he goes no but what your brother you saw him every weekend saw him every month not once did you tell them hey by the way watch this sh talks about Shabbat if you have somebody that violates and every time you talk to them they get angry did you try yeah we get paid from Hashem for effort not for execution but you're giving the effort you gave the effort you told him whether he did CH or not is not your responsibility you just did your work by telling him once you tell him you did your job yes what about if you don't even say anything because they say to you you I know I'm not supposed to do this they don't know they they do know they know they're not supposed they know they're not supposed to and they'll tell me per you know they'll definitely say I know I'm not supposed to eat this and then they eat take a bite yes they know they know that there's a law in the Torah that says you have to eat kosher they know that there's a law in the Torah that says you have to keep Shabbat but when they say they know this but they're still not keeping that means only heard what it says but they don't actually know what it means so you have to give them listen I know you know you're not supposed to do this but why don't you watch this here's a link why don't you watch this here's an explanation of why why are you not supposed to do this somebody says listen I know I'm not supposed to violate Shabbat but I'm still going to drive and now I'm going to drive I'm going to drive to the beach where everybody's naked that's what to do that person doesn't know one second that person doesn't know why I have a book it's about 80 Pages 80 pages but each P it's not like a regular book that's paragraphs and stories each line is a verse from the Torah with a source and each one provides a punishment for violating Shabbat so it's not like a regular book where you see like two three paragraphs per page it's amen 40 50 different verses sources of a punishment a different punishment of what it says in the Torah 80 pages of that the punishments that I say in my shim about violating Shabbat or any of the of the situations some of them are harsh it's nothing it's nothing in comparison to what's written in this book no way that someone is violating Shabbat that even knows what's written on the first page of this book first page of this book they don't know why because if someone actually knew and believed if they don't believe it's a different story then we have to give them a different lecture we have to prove that God is real and the Torah is real if they believe and now they know and they still violate then you have to put send them to some to a mental institution put them in a straight jacket because they're crazy no one in their right mind that believes in hem believes in his Torah and knows well violate even one thing as a matter of fact anyone that knows this book anyone that knows this information the real information about Shabbat has to be scared it's m terrifying terrifying so anyone says oh I know I can't eat McDonald's but I like it they don't know what the significance is they're misin they're like poor people they're ignorant they just know they heard that you're supposed to eat kosher but they don't really know why so what we try to do is we try to cover the Why without too many details that are scare everyone to death but still we try to scare a little bit some people because is the beginning of wisdom according to SCH the same wise person we talked about earlier same wise person that hasm gifted him his wisdom and gave him enough of AO to write three books in the Torah three not one not two three books so now to finish the point and then I'll answer your question I think you have a question the uh the sages ask Hashem why is it that you punish the righteous during a bet mikdash before the wicked wicked were Wicked they worshiped Idol punish them first no the righteous that knew Tora were not considered completely righteous because they didn't rebuke the nation that's the says but then is a uh one of the ways that hasem communicates to us says yeah but the sages said you know the sages maybe they knew maybe they knew that the the generation was so wicked that even if they told them they have to do chuva they still wouldn't do it so what's the point I tell the guy stop driving on Shabbat he's still going to drive not only he's going to drive he's drive next to my house just prin da next you know to annoy me I tell him don't e k he brings McDonald's to T he's a dka he's a rash Wicked person why why should I tell him responds meaning hasem is responding he says I knew it I knew that even if they told them they wouldn't do chuva but they didn't know it and if they didn't know they're still responsible to rebuke them they're still responsible to make sure they do chuva meaning even if your efforts Hashem already knows they're not going to work you're still obligated to do it why because you get paid reward for your effort not for your success success is in the hands of hasem if the person has Merit he did something right in his life or his forefathers did something right he'll do Chua if he has Merit maybe he's going to give a few dollars for kiru but if he has no merit not only will he not do kiru but he won't do chuva you have to according to the ram rambam not me rambam says you have to have Merit to do Chua why cuz as the says not everyone not everyone will celebrate when the mashia comes not everyone has theot not everyone is going to be saved you have to have to do Chua you have to have Merit to do Chua this is what we don't understand this is what we all take for granted we think no come on you know everybody can do Chu I'm is I'm is no hasm is telling you otherwise so again answer your question is in the you're responsible for effort outcome is not your responsibility and that's the most important thing for us to know is that we have to show people the truth the rest is in hashem's hand hem I tried I tried my best the says if a Jew knew a Jew knew the significance of making somebody do chuva what it is in shamain what kind of what it does in sham he would leave everything in this world leave everything and start chasing people in the street looking to help somebody do Chua begging them to do Chua he'd leave everything he'd leave his job he'd leave his family he'd leave everything just to go find people to to do chuba the zor says someone that helps somebody do Chua they build building an addition to the BET mikdash of sh you're adding pieces to the house of Hashem everyone spent $100 million anyone that has any money in this world they spent $100 million to have their name on a hospital that may get destroyed in 50 years because modern technology will destroy it make it obsolete they spent a billion dollars on a university with doesn't even know who the guy's name is they just know it's a name has been there for 100 years something that's going to last 50 years 100 years 200 years 500 years let's say cuz that's it but they spend zero on eternity you want to add a piece with your name on it to sh help somebody do CH all says so this is what we don't know but like we said when we don't know because we just haven't gotten to it yet it's very different than we don't know if we don't study if we're not going to get to it when someone makes a sin as we read just now in someone makes a sin it's accidental but it's accidental only due to the fact that they refuse to learn Tor in sh it does not count as accidental it counts as on purpose it counts as intentional sin no one arrives to sh to theed of sh with accidental sins if they learn T they learn T they have a accidental sins obviously but if they didn't learn T there's no such thing as accidental sins why because your lack of learning is the reason why you sinned not because you just a uh Hashem created you with inability to learn you were not able to learn you would did not learn because you didn't want to so the sins are because you didn't want to do the right thing and that's why a lot of these uh people that teach to have to start realizing for themselves keeping this truth to yourself not telling people that about the laws of Shabbat of of intermarriage of all of these laws that are written in the Tor not telling people and thinking that you're doing them a favor not only you're not doing them a favor but on top of it you're guaranteeing yourself you're actually writing yourself the ticket VIP ticket to Eternal Gom VIP first place never getting out why you're destroying Souls also in in the Mish Mish 2 200 years ago Foundation of all Tor says anyone that makes other people sin they don't let them do chuba meaning they make it harder for him to do chuva so this is a very very serious issue and we cannot continue to make the same mistakes that the previous generations made now before I continue you have a question a question what about the ne they still suffer and they re I'm right but that's because that's because that was part of their tun that's part of their uh fixing of their own souls in this world again if this world of 70 years 100 years however long someone lives in this world was the only life they ever had then there's no justice but since we know that each one of us including the Nim including the prophets have been here before any form of suffering that they had had to have been for some type of sin it could either be the sin they did during that life or in a previous life the cabala talks about we don't really talk much about the cabala but and we're not going to go into too deep into it but the whole concept of reincarnation the whole concept of uh a um the mystical parts of the Torah all in the uh in the zor and um a lot of the zor that we actually understand or all of it really that we understand is from the kados so much so that the sages say that anyone that learns the uh cabalo or which is part of the zor must go by the teachings ofos must go by him even though there was other major sages that taught cabala that taught zo said no go by him he's the leading opinion and he lived about 400 years ago or so and he told he told us that someone who thinks that this world is even a significant like it's even a uh the only time that they were ever here or that their life here is the uh is the only thing they have to fix is just for what they did in their own current life has no concept of reincarnation has no concept of the mystical part of the Torah so the prophets even though many of them were very very righteous had suffering but also keep in mind there are several places in the Torah that hasm specifically tells us that even though this obviously most of the suffering we have is because of sins but we also see people like abrah ainu Abraham the forefather yov Moshe Aon David schl pretty much every single major person that's mentioned in the Tor had a life full of suffering live right it was life full of suffering Abraham did you hear about any any vacations Abraham took did he go to Bahamas last I checked he wasn't way to the midbar there's no beach over there right what about yov yov do you hear about yov going to the casino maybe hang out with the friends mosenu MOS do you guys hear about MOS raenu taking a a week off just to hang out with the kids went vacations to S no vacations no good times what are we here we hear constant constant difficulties trials and tribulations why hasem says I test you to see if you love me to see if you love me are you going to stick with hem despite the test or you going to go say ah this is too hard I don't want to be M anymore so now the sages ask why is it that last week's par we have kak making such a big sin and getting punished eternally is connected to a par talks about a starts talking about a red cow that's even SCH the wisest man that ever Liv says I don't understand this mitvah why don't I understand it because the three people that you know work on this red cow one that Slaughters it the Cohen that dips a little bit of his hands into the blood to sprinkle it and the other person that brings it to purify the people splashes the water on the people with the uh three extra ingredients all of them before they touch the red cow were all pure they have to be pure in order to touch the Red Cow in order to deal with it but after they touched it and dealt with it in any way they become impure they become impure wait a minute I don't understand the red cow's purpose is to purify the nation someone that's imp pure touch the dead body becomes impure you sprinkle a little water on him from the red cow become become pure otherwise they cannot go into the mishkan they cannot be part of the camp they're impure okay that I understand something makes somebody that's impure pure but what what says I don't understand but why do the guy that's helping him become pure become impure himself this is beyond me wisest man of all time says this is beyond me I can't I don't understand this I don't understand this and this is the reason why is called katat means the literal translation is decree but this is the decree of the Torah butat comes from the word means engraved this is the law of the Torah it's engraved where why engraved says if Hashem just wrote it you could erase it if I took a wall and I wrote something on the wall you could erase it but if I engraved it into the wall then it becomes part of the wall it cannot be erased this is the Torah that's Eternal doesn't change it's permanent so why is he saying okay this is the permanent part but he talks about the most difficult Mitzvah in the Tor to understand because hasem is telling us it's not for you to always understand it's not for you to always understand because just because it's understandable to you is not the reason why you do it same as if it's not understandable to you you're still obligated to do it this was the problem with korak korak didn't understand why Hashem chose Moshe didn't understand why Hashem chose Aron came to from the same family he's also a levie he's got a lot of money he learned a lot of Torah he was very righteous before his sin why' you choose them and also why do you have all these strange laws maybe Moshe made it up he says you have to put a muza on every door put a little muza but what if my entire house is full of t the mza has a small portion paragraph from the Torah paragraph the Torah has 308,000 letters in a Torah the mza has somewhere in her neighborhood of like a little over 100 or so 120 maybe I'm estimating small small portion is the point small portion of what's in the T So if I have a house full of from one on top of the other filling up the entire house a building Empire State Building full of from the bottom all the way top a million do I still need to put a mhe says yes the Tor says yes says doesn't make sense to me what is my hand what is this door need this little M with a little excerpt from the Tora when I have the whole Houses full of millions of letters because of every doesn't make sense to me this why it's connected here Shem says doesn't need to make sense to you the Torah is not going to be always rational or logical or always understandable to you but you still have to comply with it whether you understand or not is irrelevant and that's one of the things that we have a difficulty with in our generation but we feel like we need to understand everything we need to rationalize everything this is the reason why some of the most popular sh that are made are about Torah and science with we did last week in Avent Torah Torah science and the wisdom of the of ancient wisdom very popular the other previous sh we did about Torah and science are very popular the sure the movie by rabbi mrai Torah and science is perhaps the most famous Torah movie in history people like Torah and science because they need physical proof tangible proof so they could rationalize God but according to the sages if one focuses specifically on rationalizing everything most likely they will not withstand the test meaning if every mitvah that they do has to be based on them understanding that mitvah if they ever get a test from Hashem they could easily turn into a Cil turn into a heretic example Elisha bisha also known as a the other he in the most sapharic and most Jews know who wases one of's rabbis other than Rabbi AKA was a was Elisha he was his Rabbi but Elisha nauya was one of the few people that went into heaven as a living person and saw things that natural people don't see he had an enormous amount of t but according to the Torah he has no share of the world to come no sh to come why he turned into a heretic when he went up there he saw an angel sitting saw an angel sitting down and it says in the book of Isaiah 6:2 it says that Angels don't sit they always stand they always stand I'm I see an angel sitting there must be a mistake he couldn't deal with it and because of that little thing that he showed that he didn't understand there's nothing wrong with it he didn't understand it turn into a complete heretic left everything believed in more than one God he said he said maybe there's two Gods a good one and a bad one and this is someone that was able to perform Miracles with his Torah with him too the rabbi of Raba of may even after he became a heretic would still learn tah from him and people say you're not allowed to learn from somebody like him because you get poisoned go no but I'm at the level where I could take the good from him and discount the bad but nonetheless what was his mistake thinking that he's supposed to understand everything kazal explains what so how do you explain what happened how do you explain the sitting Angel according to the tah it says the no sitting Angel ah the other sages that went up therea was one of the sages that went up there knew what does he say that specific Angel was commanded to sit down why so he could write down the merits of am is it's a lot of work has a lot of merits a lot of so he has to write them down that's why he was sitting down if he would have came to me if he would have known he would have known the answer because he thought he supposed to know everything the minute it didn't make sense he left everything and this is one of the things that we have to understand as a people the rambam says the if there's something that you don't understand in the Torah you have to look at it as you're incomplete it's your mistake it's your imperfection it's your lack of knowledge notom the lack of knowledge or lack of perfection in what we don't know or don't understand is because of our imperfection not because of hom and that's what K could not get his head around he couldn't deal with it he didn't understand how it's possible so this week's par starts with something very very important a very very important reminder for us which is that number one you're obligated to learn Torah and number two you're obligated to learn this this tor for the sake of learning Tor not because you expect to understand every single thing you're going to read and ultimately if you actually look at you'll understand what I'm going to say even better you say prayer before you learn you have you see this also before you learn you say a prayer there's different prayers you can say you could read you could but also the beginning of many they have these two prayers one to read before you learn one to read after in the beginning you pray to Hashem that your learning will succeed and that you shall not uh you won't fail in uh State something that's wrong and have your uh friends or foes celebrate that you're wrong or that you ever celebrate if your friends are wrong that will be pure learning but at the end after you finish learning it says this and this is a compilation of several uh um parts of the Torah from from Proverbs from Psalms and also from thear it says I thank you ohem my God that You' have established my portion with those who dwell in the study hall and you have not established my portion with idlers for I Rise early and they arise early you know I wake up early and they wake up early I arise early for the words of Tor and they arise early for Idle Words I arise early to go learn to go waste their time they start talk about baseball stock market what do you think of this guy's new contract look uh Derek Jeter makes $50 million a year oh what do you think of this model what do you think of this car nonsense they talk about what are you talk about you talking I toil and they toil I toil and receive reward and they toil and do not receive reward I work hard and they work hard my work of learning Torah I get reward in sh it's Eternal reward in this world and the next they work hard they go build cars and they talk about baseball and they do all but they do nothing with the money they do nothing with their actions they get no reward for it you don't get rewarded for building cars you don't get rewarded for uh selling stocks what you do with the money you get rewarded for that but we're not talking about yet said their toil is complete waste of time I run and they run I run to the life of the world to come and they run to the pit of Destruction pit of Destruction AKA Gom as it is written in Psalm 55:24 and you oh God you will lower them into the well of Destruction men of Bloodshed and deceit shall not live out half their days but as me I will trust in you see here you're telling them listen my work I know it's going to be get me to a good place that work waste of time but why am I doing all of this for reward only what if I don't succeed what if I read this entire I don't understand anything then we go to the first blessing the first blessing before you started if you really meant it then you going also read this part it says this a verse from page 28m grants wisdom from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding of God unveil my eyes that I may perceive wonders from your Torah meaning any knowledge you will ever have about Torah about hem about anything connecting to God connecting to the tah hasem has to gift it to you for what why would he gift it to you and not to me why would he gift it to me and not to you based on effort you try hard instead of waking up at 12:00 in the afternoon you wake up at 6:00 to go to Nets finish Prayer by 7 7:30 you start learning for 2 three hours you go in with the rest of your day you make your sales you make your business you do whatever you got to do you finish the day you pray throughout the day you go home instead of watching baseball football and uh Family Feud on television you learn some more Tor you hang out with the family everybody goes to sleep instead of going to sleep at a normal hour like the average American so you can get your 8 hours of sleep you study an extra 2 three hours you get just enough sleep to survive you're learning at 2:00 in the morning you're not playing on Facebook you're not playing on a uh Xbox what are you doing you're learning Tor for that for that effort for that effort I'll give you to her but if you're just learning on Sundays cuz you have nothing else to do and you learn on Shabbat because the day is long and you can't really watch TV so you want to be sh Shabbat so okay so I'll read this what is this okaya said can you give me something else give me maybe the let's Maybe let me read some stories what happens you're just wasting your time you gifted nothing why you gifted nothing you're learning on a uh your extra time you're learning an hour a week sometimes even if you learn an hour a day and you have the ability to learn much more you're not going to get the big gift of learning Torah you get a mitvah for learning but as far as true Torah knowledge you're not going to get the why you didn't work hard for it there's a few things according to the sages that that must come with meaning they must come through suffering through suffering you want to earn it you have to suffer what is it Torah you want to know Torah you must suffer you must suffer in order to know T now we have to suffer regardless we came to this world not to go to enjoy life came to work came to earn our positiona not to work at AT&T that's not the work I'm talking about talking about working for hasem to earn our place in and if the mashia comes what if you don't want to stop for you just want to live like a simple life T and that's it choose your suffering you're going to have to suffer no here the my point if you actually let me finish the point usually answer all the questions you came here you came here yeah he he read my script he knows someone came here and suffering anyway suffering anyway right they flat tire no way to work they were late the customer didn't show up the boss didn't pay on time the vendor went out of business the wife doesn't want to talk to me the kid became a crack addict how many problems has we're suffering anyway Hashem tells you you're going to suffer anyway you have to choose your suffering one way or another you're going to suffer you didn't come here to just hang out you're going to suffer in life but if you learn t with being meaning suffering like pushing yourself to learn T when you can't even like think about anything you force yourself to learn extra 15 minutes honey honey why don't you come hang out with to hang out with me okay 15 minutes that 15 minutes you're not playing on your phone that 15 minutes you're learning T you're 15 minutes what's 15 minutes 15 minutes you learn to you push yourself for extra 15 minutes it's 1:30 in the morning you learn an extra 15 minutes at 1:30 it's 6:00 in the morning you wake up at 5:45 you get an extra 15 minutes there 15 minutes there you you choose your suffering you push yourself and push yourself to learn T the suffering that we're supposed to get anyway you decreeing for yourself cuz hasem is going to be balanced obviously hasm is perfect like we said before there's a certain amount a certain weight of suffering that everyone has to get every year it's decreed in R hasem decrees this is you're supposed to get 100 pound worth of suffering okay that's what the gar says but the mishna which came before thear says but that's what hasm decides on what we're going to get for the whole year but the mishna says that Hashem also decides every day what we're going to get but if you already decided on what we're going to get for the whole year why does he have to decide every minute why does he have to decide every day Mish answers answers what you're going to get yes he decided on but how you're going to get it he decides every day how does it decide based on your actions if you're pushing yourself to learn Torah you got your 100 PBS of suffering but the 100 pound of suffering is because you woke up for instead of waking up at 9:00 to barely make the Manan You Learn 3 hours of Tor instead of of barely 15 minutes you chose your suffering you choose your suffering right is always righteous so that's another point that uh when you look at logic like K was trying to do you're never going to get to that you're never going to be able to but had too much pride right that was pride pride pride LED through sin Pride let to sin that's why he was swollen up with with the 250 right so now the is always good to find things from a sid because Sid is usually what most people most connected to everyone knows the sidu even if they don't know what Shabbat is they don't know what kosher is they know the Sid you have some people know the entire sidu by heart but they still drive on Shabbat why it's people like this I know somebody knows the enti Do by Heart but not only do he knows the by heart every prayer all the holidays by Heart By Heart but on a regular basis goes to places that the Torah says it's better that you die and not do it namely beaches casinos those according to the Tor you're not not only you're not allowed to go there there's certain things you're not allowed to do you cannot allow to eat pig not allowed to eat pig but if someone put a gun to your head and said either eat pig or I'm going to kill you eat the pig you're allowed mitvah you're saving your life unless it's in public listen if it's just one person puts a gun to your head Shalom puts a gun to your head says eat the pig I'm going to kill you it's you eat the pig but if it's public it's a whole circus of people they say yeah we want to see the Jew drive on Shabbat we want to see the Jew eat the pig you have to die have to die no no no if it's a if it's if it's a public sin if it's Faria if it's a public sin it becomes forget about the eating the pig that's no longer the sin it doesn't matter that sin the outcome of the sin becomes worse it becomes that's so now we have certain sins eat the pig it's a sin don't do it but the Torah doesn't say if you do it you're dead or you rather die than not do it no it just says you're not supposed to do it but there are certain sins like like being with a woman that's still need impure wasting seed and things like that there certain sins idol worship idol worship name namely murder sex crimes those are the three things murder sex crimes and uh idol worship toah says die but don't sin better off dying than not sinning going to the beach unless it's a kosher Beach where there's just men on one side and women with the you don't see the women going to I don't know if there's if there's no a all to go according to the T it says you're better off dying than going to the beach so I know somebody there's more than one person unfortunately knows the entire all the he doing by Heart By Heart I don't honestly I don't even know a rabbis that know all the he doing by heart this guy knows all the he doing by heart regularly regularly goes to the beach regularly goes to these places why cuz people connected to Sid is the point I'm trying to make here so let's learn something from the Shalom he says this in we say this prayer and often and and and continue so first it says there there is no there is no one like our God there's no one like our Master there's no one like our King There's No One Like Our Savior and then it says who is like our God who is like our master who is like our King who's like our savior same words but just who instead of there is no Like There's No One Like Our God she's the best s says why do we say first there's no one like our God and then we ask a question who's like our God like who could be like our God because this is what you learn from first first know there's no one like our God first agree to do everything he says cuz there's nothing better than him all your doubts all your pride all your self-consciousness all your stupid all of that throw it in the garbage why because no one like our God he's the master of Masters he's the creator of Creations there's no one like him after you've agreed to do what he says then you're allowed to startop asking some questions it's not first I'm going to ask the questions then I'm going to do first you do then you ask questions and this is one of the things that's the most difficult for us now we say our prayer we say this every day every day we say this when was the last time we thought about what said oh yeah first I'm going to do what God Said then I'm gon to ask questions seconds 10 seconds ago so now a person needs to understand that is very very dangerous when they rely purely on their own knowledge this is why learning learning the teachings of the sages is very critical to learning Tor because you cannot understand anything with your own logic if even the greatest of sages did not know the entire Torah and did not understand it and some unfortunately like a turned into a complete heretic because he tried using only his own logic and not Divine logic we see how dangerous it can be but this is also dangerous for rabbis as well because unfortunately what happens sometimes when you learn Torah you learn a lot of tah and people give you a lot of cavod people give you a lot of respect they donate money they celebrate you they publicize you very easy for it to go to your head yeah I know by heart I know this one by heart I know that one you start remembering things by heart you're thinking you're likea and me are almost the same place you start thinking of yourself as something special it's very easy to fall into that trap so what happens is not even with the big giants I'm talking about even simple people this usually is a problem with the simple people not the big ones what happens is someone learns a little bit of T and they start asking questions and they start teaching regular people average people people that don't learn Torah on a regular basis about and M is the discrepancies the difference of opinion in the it's a difference of opinion there's certain parts of the tah that there's more than one opinion like for example there's one opinion that one out of five Kim that left MIT the the ones that actually survived the plagues of Egypt and the punishment from Hashem out of the nation of Israel not talking about the uh uh Egyptians one out of five or the word kushim means one out of five means 20% only 20% survived Egypt meaning that hem killed 80% of why because they didn't want to do chuva but there's another opinion that says no it's not one out of five it's actually one out of 500,000 meaning that 99.8% or 98% Hashem killed them many many many more whether it's 80% or 90% or 98% is irrelevant either way we see hasm is not kidding either way we see that people don't do chuva have no future but there's still a difference of opinion here there's a there's also about certain and the best time to do the best time to say in the morning some go by R some go by you have maybe 10 15 pages or so talking about the best time to do best time to say before you go to bed they all they all no you have to say twice a day or three times a day really morning at night you're obligated then kma before you sleep is the third time you're supposed to do it but they're talking about specifically about the time to say it in the morning what's the best time to say it is it right after the sun comes up is it right before is it at the same time is it you know they talk about the different timing so but if here you see in the difference of opinion not everyone agrees that there's one specific time and there's many like this there's over 300 differences of opinion between what a lot of people that are Fred from birth people that have learned Torah religious their whole life what they don't understand from the world that I came from which is the secular world is that teaching about m to the general public should be decreed ass my opinion this is my opinion 100% teaching the mass public the general public the people that don't learn to on a regular basis the people that don't have to is a daily part of their life they go to beet once a week on Shabbat and what they hear inash sheet that's their Torah for the week or maybe they go to one sh on Tuesday for two hours teaching them about should be ass in my opinion if you know anything about secular people or people that are just starting their chuv you'd realize that teaching them about m is distancing them from Hashem not making them closer why because as someone who doesn't know what really is what do you think naturally I'll tell you why I used to think as soon as I hear a rabbi say listen Raba said A and R May said B now I'm not thinking about what they said I'm just thinking he said a he said B what does it mean to me there a guy who thinks of himself very highly who thinks he's special thinks he's smart okay he says a he says b maybe they're both wrong I'll say c that means it's the Torah is open for interpretation if there's two opinions why can't I throw my hat in there also why not I was on Wall Street I made $20 million why can't I say it I'm a smart guy who is this guy old man with a funny looking hat why does he have a right to say an opinion who's this RAB AKA I don't know who's RAB a I never heard of him where is he what Bessa is he from you don't know anything when you don't know anything you don't even know what you don't know you're more dangerous than anyone so when I heard as a secular person there's more than one opinion I thought my opinion counts I thought I could throw my hat in there and what happens then there's no Torah the whole torom goes into the garbage so okay he says keep Shabbat he says keep Shabbat great but he also says he says you should keep Shabbat at 7:59 the other one says at 8:00 so obviously there's a mixup over here so whenever they come to an agreement I'll start keeping Shabbat what you don't realize as a secular person is they're not arguing about whether the keep Shabbat or not keep Shabbat they're not arguing about whether it's kosher or it's not Kosher and most of the it's not yes or no to set that extent what it is it's how to perfect servicing hasem it's not whether to do or not to do kma it's what's the best time to do kma 15 minutes before or 15 minutes after it's the Perfection of being Servants of hem but when you're secular and you have no idea what even being a servant is let alone a servant of Hashem you're just you're only all the things that you're hearing is he said a he said be to me that means they don't know what they're talking about so when they figure it out let me know and is Unfortunately today is a very common discussion in in by rabbis where they constantly talk about M oh they start giving you a story they start telling you listen did this and did this and according to you're supposed to do ABC but there's an opinion in a mishna that says a but Bim says b and c and RAB AKA eagel said c and a they start giving you 15 opinions thinking that you know what they're talking about all you know is that you have no idea what's going on and it seems like it's not really true it seems like the sages don't know either cuz you don't know what a m it is you have no idea what it is so what happens with this Rabbi speech instead of making you closer to Hashem he made you further from hasm because he's thinking he yes maybe has humility it's not NE it's not for evil it's not from a a bad place it's actually humility the rabbi is thinking of course you know what I know of course you know the I learn you learn right and even if you didn't learn you'll catch on quickly he thinks that you're smarter than what you really are and you think you're smarter than you really are everyone thinks you're smarter than you really are except theem knows that you're not really smart at all you have no clue whatsoever at least not when it comes to Torah cuz you don't learn so what happens he tells you about you have no idea what's going on you say okay when you guys figure it out let me know you end up driving home on Shabbat this is very very common today in today's teaching and I'm telling you from experience teaching people about there's a big no no if you want anyone to do Chua second thing is teaching a p p is similar but not the same which is to look at the intricate details within the details and it's like a what is it called it's like a it's unfolding a puzzle and sometimes debating certain issues that are really for practice the don't actually matter but it's a mentally it's very stimulating for someone that's in the Tora for someone that likes a brain teaser it's called at least in the secular world it's called a brain teaser someone likes to stimulate their brain and go deeper and deeper into things it's very very entertaining it's very invigorating it livens you up could be something really uh extraordinary for common people big no no not allowed to teach that stuff I'm saying this is my opinion not allowed to say I think according to the sages also but nonetheless I know for sure my opinion is no my opinion doesn't really count that much but I'm saying it as a former complete secular person that probably was worse than everyone else why because I know when someone started telling me about this mental teasers to me it wasn't a mental teaser to me was boring why do I care if he does a.m. or 6:03 just do it or don't do it or leave me alone already to me it didn't matter I'm not passionate about it if you start telling about PE ratios and companies and mergers and Acquisitions and a CEO is a crook and there's a red flag on the balance sheet you start telling me about stuff like that okay yeah I'll debate you want to talk about the president want to talk about the economy want to talk about the next war and how war is good for the economy or how it's bad for the economy you start telling me stuff like that I'll fight you I'll do it I'm I'm I'm game I'm on Wall Street but he start telling about R AKA and R this one R and this one what do you want for my life go away from me take your little black and white here's $1,000 good luck to you I'm not I'm I'm less interested in the Torah than I was before I gave you the $1,000 I gave you $1,000 just to get rid of you so the job of this kidish guy that came over to help me do chuva helped me zero why cuz I'm less interested in the Torah only way to do chuva to cannot do CH without to you plan on doing Chua you have to learn to so teaching people about p and all of those details can become very very dangerous and this is again my advice to anyone anyone that teaches Tor whether it's he's teaching it to his family or he's teaching it to his friends or he's teaching it to the public do not talk to people that are below below someone that's from from birth that learned Torah and even them you have to be careful with about these difficult issues like mlo and why because people have no idea what it means they don't know what it means and that's the thing and also the last but last but not least things about teaching not that I'm this expert about teaching but I know how to deal with people don't overestimate what people know the reality is most people know a lot less than what you think some people know a few verses by heart and it sounds like they know a lot but that's all they know they know six verses by heart maybe they know one by heart they know have to S by heart but ask him to explain to you six of the me of the 39 of Shabbat they don't know they have no idea what's going on ask him to explain to you what and V means technically means we sinned we sinned we sinned but it's three different words ask him to explain to you he has no idea he says we sinned we sinned we sinned no it doesn't mean we Sinn we sin we sinned means we sinned by accident we didn't know ainu means we sinned even though we knew we sinned intentionally and panu means we did it on purpose not only intentionally not only we know but we did it to make you mad of Shem we say this every day we ask for Chua because sometimes you sin intentionally so this is the most important thing last point and I'll let you guys get some sleep unless you have questions when you have when you have a um some of the sh we talk very strongly against conservative and reform conservative and reform Torah is one Torah the only authentic version of the Torah in today's age is kept by Orthodox Jews sometimes even they make mistakes but for the most part it's the closest thing to the authentic Torah it's the only conversion that's authentic it's the only ones that actually keep the everyone has their problems but according to the Torah Orthodox Judaism is the only true version of Judaism fine but some people ask me why is it that you're so against conservative and reform what do they do to you what do they do to you I actually had one guy who goes to a Orthodox Sho that I spoke at once but he's completely reformed drives on Shabbat toet complete reform makes his own rules but he go he likes to hear the prayer and the Orthodox so he goes there but he doesn't really keep anything so he saw one of my lectures and he was very very upset because I spoke against reform no you should talk about love of isra unity shouldn't tell people that reform is bad you're going to get punished for that I'm thinking of myself right after you get punished for Shabbat right after hm finishes with you he'll deal with me for talking about reform so people ask what do they do to you what do they do to you I'll tell you two things first and foremost people have to understand there's only one truth you're either living the truth or you're living a lie there's nothing in between there's no gray area Hashem is not politically correct Hashem has no second truth there's only one truth this is why we know that Christianity is false this is why we know that Islam is false this is why we know everything else other than Judaism is false you're either according to the toah as an orthodox Jew or you're a righteous no no Christianity no JC no Muhammad no Buddha none of that garbage there's proofs that the Torah is divine there's zero proofs that anything else is divine zero nothing anything that's authentic or Divine that you could find in the New Testament or in the Quran why because it comes from the Torah they just copied it and you you can find it and they even say it comes from the Tor but anything that they wrote and added to the Torah complete nonsense and you have proof that it's nonsense unfortunately the reform and the conservative could actually be even worse because they Mak the Christians and the people from uh the Muslims and I'm you I'm not talking about the people that hate Jews I'm talking about normal people normal Muslims and normal Christians or I guess in today's world abnormal Christians and abnormal Muslims not everybody likes this in today's world so the ones that don't hate Jews they don't mock hm they love hm some of them love hm even more than Jews do they just have a mistake in belief a really big mistake but it's a mistake Islam is not considered idol worship because they still worship the same God but there's some teachings in it that are complete heresy it's completed Christianity is complete idol worship according to most opinions there are some opinions that don't consider it idol worship but everyone obviously knows it's complete heresy either way but either way they all believe that it's the same God they all believe that there's still a Creator one Creator still monotheism and he has rules they believe in a Torah they don't comply with it but they believe in it the conservative and the reform took it to a different place they decided to change the Torah no homosexuality when Hashem said that someone that's a homosexual gets all these punishments in the written Torah there was a conservative Rabbi about 3 4 months ago wrote an article no didn't mean it conservative Rabbi wrote no no I don't think Hashem meant it when he said that the punishment goes to the homosexuals when Hashem said that a homosexual and a beastiality someone that with animals is the same thing he didn't mean it he was just kidding I'm not joking he wrote this article when hasem said that fine is for human beings reform don't agree with it they put it on dogs too they put feeling on dogs so they mock AEM it's a completely different world it's much worse than anything else so that's one thing if that doesn't hurt you you have to work on yourself a little bit to me it hurts me they hurt my father they're mocking my father it hurts me I could help them do but it hurts me but here's a proof of how it even hurts them it even hurts all of us regardless of someone is religious or not religious unless they're one of these Lefty losers that hates his own Nation if they're a normal Jew whether they're religious or not they're hurt about the Holocaust they hurt it's very painful to think about 6 million Jews were killed just 7 Day decades ago the number one newspaper in America is the New York Times the New York Times according to a book called buried by the Times by lurel Le he gave statistics showing that what everyone is saying that people didn't around the world especially in America didn't know that the Holocaust was happening it's complete false everyone knew and not only did they knew that the Holocaust was happening not only no but it was published in many many newspapers headline deliberate Nazi murder policy is barred by Allied official body more than 1 Million Lives taken and campaign to wipe out entire people Jews and polls undergo severest treatment this is a headline another headline 2 million Jews murdered we know we have we have dates this is April 20 1943 page 11 August 27 1943 page 7 with sources is not I'm not making this up total Nazi execution are put at 3.4 million Poland with 2.5 million victim tops list February 28th 1943 so not only do they know it's not after it's happening happening we know about this but the New York Times published 23,000 front page stories between 1939 and 1945 out of the 23,000 stories 11,500 were about World War II so World War II is that's exactly when it was happening so half the Articles approximately were about World War II but only 11 86 only about 10% were about Europe's Jews and only 26 out of the 1186 were actually about the Holocaust itself what was happening there 26 stories out of 23,000 in six years and of those 26 only six six identifi the Jews as the primary victim six six stories six years why do I mention this to you why do I mention this to you there's a reason why you see this intentional anti-Semitism even until this day by these Wicked people that run the New York Times in that time the way you could explain it and they admitted it in 1996 1996 the New York Times itself admitted the times has long been criticized for grossly underplaying the Holocaust while it was taking place clippings from the paper itself show that the criticism is valid they admitted 60 years later but they admitted but why why am I mentioning this to you if it was a bunch of anti-semites nothing new Under the Sun what's so special about this story everyone hated Jews worst of of all the New York Times was not merely guilty of a series of unfortunate mistakes rather its scandalous coverage of the Holocaust was intentional and driven by policy all overseen by the newspapers publisher Arthur Hayes solsberg a reformed Jew solsberg was an assimilationist he claims that his fear was that his paper be identified as a Jewish newspaper honestly this whole this is man magazine I always tell you guys about this magazine it's highly recommended they have phenomenal Stories the story about Jews fighting the news made me so upset I stopped reading it I couldn't read it this particular section I read and after I vomited I made sure to mention it to you guys the problems will come from with you point I'm trying to make to you when people say what did these reform and conservative people do to you you should ask yourself what did they do to you even though we know as Torah Observer Jews that everything in the world comes from Hashem everything there's no suffering without sin but when we know that Hashem has picked us to be Our Own Worst Enemy we know the problem is with us and it's deeper than we even imagined when someone has no you cannot trust them and according to the you cannot even be in a closed room with him where do we learn this from a Abu says what did he say he said there's no here that's why I was scared you're going to kill me what do you mean no why is someone know no fear of hem why you what if if I don't fear of that means I'm going to kill you and says yes sometimes with weapons and sometimes with words when someone has the audacity the to change the holy Torah and put on dogs make homosexuals head rabbis in the congregation in Jerusalem say it's allowed to drive on Shabbat directly against the Torah they obviously have no now most people don't care about but they care about the Holocaust so even the members of the reform shs and the members of the conservative I bet they don't know this because just like the few papers re wrote a couple years ago about kosher and the different ingredients that you have in non- Kosher foods even people that eat non kosher food didn't realize what they were eating and just because of the disgusting ingredients you find the non koser food just for that they started keeping kosher sometimes just knowledge is enough just knowledge someone that knows that this is the foundation this is who's behind reform this is who's behind conservative this type of understanding who wants to be part of that you're better off not being part of anything same thing goes with Moshe Mendelson Moshe Mendelson lived about 250 years ago one of the forefathers of the there wasn't really conservative and reform back then but forefathers had a university and said he was a rabbi was called a rabbi he says I think we should have our children go to learn some secular knowledge and he he coined the saying be a Jew inside your home but a human being outside meaning keep your Jew to yourself he was a rabbi go get University education forget the Yesa Rabbi said this you know what happened he had six kids four of them became Christians Rabbi Source Wikipedia I don't make this up you understand there's only one truth it's not always logical to our human logic but it's always logical for divine logic when you know the Divine logic ISAT it's engraved it doesn't change you have a good start all of us will engrave this into our own and any questions questions questions it's free same price I know as soon as I change the cam I turn off the camera it starts the questions okay so I turn off the camera let's see
