Tazria Metzora, God vs. jesus and Amalek, Conversion Laws, Chabad Haters- Stump The Rabbi (160)

if you're a smart person and you're looking for the truth then certainly you should watch this lecture if you're not I recommend others why it requires really sharp Minds brilliant people that want the truth and nothing else why we're connecting different parts of the torat people never thought were even possibly connected first and foremost we learned about the kosher laws last week's parasha then a spiritual disease in the Cure in this week's parot how does that connect to Cain and Abel and even more so even if you want to say that Cain died because he was stingy with his sacrifice why did Abel die what did he do and that doesn't have to do anything with all the Heretics and the false leaders during the end of days this and much more it's going to be discussed tonight for truth Seekers that have a little bit of if you do tune in you're going to enjoy it share it support it and most importantly be holy we're back here on our Wednesday night stump the rabbi where after some you guys will ask some questions we're going to give you some answers will give us the insights the knowledge the ability to give you guys the answers tonight's she will be for the for ra and for the the success and happiness uh both uh in this world and the next for all of the uh righteous Jews and Gentiles that continue to watch us support our uh our Torah and our organization and everything that we do anyone that wants to donate and help us uh whether it's with uh money or it's with uh skill sets uh could certainly uh do it on the website or contact us we need as much help as possible uh so tonight you is going to answer a lot of questions most of you never thought you had I promise you this is one of these days where you have a Insight that just simply going to put a bunch of pieces of puzzle in your mind together and you're going to say wow I didn't even know it could look like this now of course we know that the Torah is not a history book it's not uh something that's uh you know has any Superfluous words where there's extra words for no reason uh everything is there specifically not only there specifically but is there exactly where it needs to be uh and no other place would be a right fit the same exact thing as our planet you know anyone that has done a little bit of research or has read some articles about where the uh Earth is in the universe You' know that pretty much much every scientist that has researched this has confirmed that the only place in the entire universe that the Earth can exist is exactly where it is had it been you know a certain amount of distance to the right to the left up down wherever it is uh the Earth simply would not be able to support life uh you know if we were closer to the Sun the Earth would dry up and everybody would die if we were further from the Sun the Earth would freeze and we would all die so the reality is is that Hashem put this world in such a fashion in order to teach us that the same thing as you see this world even more so the actual Torah why because as the Zoros tells ush opened the Torah saw the rules of the world and in essence built the world based on the rules of the Torah so with that being said we see that every week we have a Torah portion and as I've told my students countless times over the years anytime you have specific issues that you're dealing with if you want answers go and learn Torah why because that week's Torah portion if you learn it enough you will find answers to your life your life's issues y you're not Moses you're not Miram you're not abah you're not you're not theen but you are in the Torah and the questions and the answers to the issues that you're dealing with are inside the Torah unfortunately many people don't believe and don't take it uh at face value and simply just you know uh you know look at Google for answers the reality is that if you looked at the Torah you'd find all the answers to the questions you have at the time that you have it and next year when you get to that same Torah portion it'll answer the questions you'll have next year that's one of the ways that we see that the Torah is divine literally in front of our heads in front of our in front of our faces now the this week's Torah portion is a double portion where we have and and these par tell us about the spiritual disease and the cure for what's called tarat tarat is a horrific disease that a uh a person gets as a result of sins and while this these parot warn us about the words that are coming out of our mouth not to say you know to to speak evil about people to uh to gossip slander or even speak the truth that's uh about other people that they don't want you to tell people like for example publicizing that somebody's rich or publicizing that somebody just got divorced or anything else even if it's true it's still forbidden now the Torah is telling us and warning us about these words that are coming out of our mouth mouth and after we've rectified the food that is coming into our mouth from learning last week's par we are now in a situation we are in a situation where we have a bunch of different things where on one end last week we learned some laws about kosher food and why hasem you know told us that we could only eat specific type of animals and these animals have to be slaughtered in a specific way and if we don't do it then in essence we are um imp purifying our souls and the sages teach us from there that the word to imp purify is actually spelled in the same way as the word Stupify meaning that we become spiritually stupid as a result of eating non kosher now this only applies to the Jews doesn't apply to the Gentiles as they don't have a uh uh obligation to eat kosher food but yet we see that you know there are plenty of people that eat non kosher food you know Jewish people that eat non- kosher food Jewish people that are secular unfortunately eat non- kosher food but they're brilliant they're mathematicians they're Nobel Prize winners uh literally 25% of all the Nobel Prize wins that were ever won were won by this small nation of Jews that exists in the world uh you know you have 15 to 20 million Jews in the world uh so literally you have 25% of all of the Nobel Prize won by those people whereas if you compare that to let's say for example the Muslims that have about a billion and a half people they only have less than a handful of Nobel Prize winners throughout history so you see here that it's not Stupify a person uh as and making them stupid in a sense of mathematics and engineering and and Science and on but rather Stupify as what is making a person spiritually stupid where you can teach them the words of the Torah and they simply don't get it they just don't get it you could talk to them about the math and the sciences and chat GTP and GPT and and all the amazing inventions that are out there all types of wonderful tools you can talk to them about politics they know it all but yet you speak to them about the words of God all of a sudden they're like I don't know if I I don't understand how could that be what could it be and you see that there is a uh issue here the issue of understanding when people are not eating kosher food so what does all of this where we have last week learning about kosher food and how it could literally put a person in a situation where they could become spiritually stupid connected to the watching your mouth and not saying slander about people not lying about people not cheating people not uh uh uh you know taking advantage of people not disclosing truths that are uh uh not supposed to be disclosed in so many words watch your mouth what does all of that have to do with the murder of Abel in the Book of Genesis the truth behind Abel's murder that you've never heard in your life and even more so when we in our many lectures over the years expose Wicked people many times those Wicked people are wicked Jewish people that are rabbis and we expose them and we slander them and we do all types of things to make sure the people need to be warned to stay away from those people how are we so sure that they're all going to go to geham and we are in the right when we have so many warnings here from the Tor that if you say things you can get a spiritual disease that has no cure other than the hand of God all that and more is going to be discussed tonight before the questions and I promise you the story of Genesis is not a story that you know even if you've heard it a thousand times so first and foremost we start we start in the beginning of the of this Paras where tells us about this horrific disease this disease that a person is not sure if he has it or he doesn't have why because all of a sudden there is all types of strange colors of green and red like the Christian colors of their holidays the idol worshipping colors are on the wall he's not sure maybe it's mold maybe it's a new type of mold he's not really sure then sometimes those colors go away sometimes they stay sometimes it's because God wanted to actually have the Jewish people have theim confirmed that it's satat which would require them to break the walls because there was Treasure in the walls and he wanted to give them something so yes you can say that that Sarat on the wall could have actually been for a good cause for a reward if you will but you can't really say that if the tarat appears on the person's body where all of a sudden he has these his hairs that his whole life were black or brown all of a sudden they turn white they turn all different types of white shades of white there's the egg color white and all types of other types of white and then the skin the skin itself changes colors and we're not talking about the hair grew white but rather it turned into white and of course this is not something pleasing to see and immediately the spiritual doctor is called the Coan is called and he comes and he checks and he says whether this ISAT or it's something else now if you've read this weeks this weekly you'll see that each time the K came and looked and behold he says this ISAT on the skin he declares impure this is impure this is this T is impure and whether the t is on his arm on his leg on his any other body part Torah tells us that the after thean confirms that it's impure that it's tat he says he's definitely impure no further examination is needed at times wherever the coen's eyes can see meaning that it's notat until the Coen decrees that it is first showing us the power of the words of theim of the of the of our leaders the righteous ones now later on in Chapter 13 Verse number 44 we see something different where it says is who Torah says where it actually starts at verse 42 chapter 13: 42 where it says that after a person sees that he has these reddish white Affliction on his head or in the front boldness of his head the K is called he looks at it and he says behold he is a person with he is impure the Quran shall declare him impure his Affliction is upon his head 300 years ago asks the question why is it that throughout all of the other afflictions in the body in the arm and the leg and the uh uh back wherever it was in the body each time the qu confirmed that it's he said this is tat this is impure but when it got to the head he said he is impure why the change of words and it's not just once here that it said that this is impure this ISAT the whole time many times you look at the par several verses after another you have dozens of verses several times mentioned theat is impat is impat is impure and one time it's on his head he is impure I mean surely he's already embarrassed enough if he had on his arm maybe nobody else saw it cuz he's modest and he covers his arms he doesn't walk around like today's people no arms and no legs and sometimes they forget their clothing in the store so perhaps he hasat and but nobody else saw of course once they declared that he hasat he has to leave the camp but the point is that the embarrasses embarrassment is limited whereas here if he has it on his head there's no way to hide this he already has enough embarrassment so on top of this embarrassment theen declares not only that he hasat as he declared everybody else but even more so he says he is impure says of course that instituted these rules calculated on the pain and Agony of each and every single person that could be coming from embarrassment and calculated this to make sure that the embarrassment and the pain is higher says the why because certainly if the agony and the pain of the embarrassment is higher it was warranted because of a bigger sin it was warranted because of a bigger sin now the head is where we have everything that's important for a person to live both spiritually and physically you have the brain you have the mind you have your thoughts the says the thoughts of sin are worse than the sin because while the sin itself is something that a person can do only when opportunity allows if let's say for example a person wants to serve an idol he has to find an idol he has to find a place if a person wants to eat a something forbidden he has to have money he has to have a uh the the this food if a person wants to commit any type of immorality somebody else's wife all types of forbidden relationships lgbtqbbq has to have somebody that's as crazy as him that's willing to make the sin along with him so in so many words that sin although it's big although it's horrible it's not as bad as the thought how could that be we get punished for generally speaking we punished for the sin so how could the thought of the sin be worse than a sin explains the and R also that while the sin itself is great it's horrible it's horrific it's limited at how often you can commit it whereas inappropriate thoughts of immorality inappropriate thoughts of heresy inappropriate thoughts of idol worship inappropriate thoughts are something that a person can think about non-stop with no control and even more so says that unlike the sin that a person sins where only he and the other party are there and in so many words they're showing the world nothing why because they're sinning privately so because they're scared of what the world will say so in so many words this particular sin could be in front of people not in front of people but in so many words they are not so much caring about the uh the the how people view them but it's not as bad as the sin that a person has in their mind why because the sin that a person has in their mind means that they only don't care what God thinks because the mind is only a place that God enters the mind is only a place that God sees in so many words it's a sin that only God knows about hence the reason why the thoughts of sin are worse than the sin if a woman woman finds out that her husband is cheating on her with another woman certainly it's bad and she'll probably if she's smart and the relationship but guess what if she loves him truly and she finds out that he's watching things that that are inappropriate watching pornography and all this other filth sometimes she's even more hurt sometimes she's even more hurt the thoughts of sin are worse than the sin because while the First Act was horrific it was limited and contained to a single person whereas the thoughts that are coming as a result of inappropriate uh uh things that a person sees literally can be having these thoughts while he's telling her I love you now one of the great sages ofid that lived about 200 years ago 250 years ago named rabas mikit in his SE called Midas chapter 66 Section 8 he writes that Hashem wanted to show us that although we do not have in this world in the same capacity like we had it in the past we also don't have the Cure like we had in the past qu to identify it Hashem does want to show us that every single pain that a person has is related to a certain sin that's also what says that if you arm hurts instead of you know being upset at God for why your arm hurts pray to Hashem to give you the Insight of why you forgot the sin that you've made with your hand because that's what caused the hand pain and if your legs hurt pray to Hashem to remind you of what sins you've made with your legs so you can do chuva it's not the sin that it's not the the the the arod the snake that kills it's the thoughts that kill it's the sins that kill so mik says lice you know those lice the little bugs that go in people's hair why does one person have lice and another person doesn't have lice because of bad thoughts lice are created it's a spiritual outcome it's a physical outcome of a spiritual act bad thought a person has bad thoughts now immediately a person says yeah but what 5-year-old 6-year-old 8-year-old has bad thoughts I mean I mean today actually you can't even ask that anymore but you know what bad thoughts immorality is not thinking about somebody else's wife he's only eight years old no no bad thoughts are not just immorality bad thoughts can be idolatry bad thoughts can be heresy bad thoughts can be being jealous of somebody else bad thoughts being thoughts of just simply wanting to sin Desiring lusting to sin that's a bad thought says that sometimes hem wants to remind the person not to have those thoughts to do Chua for those thoughts so he gives him lice he gives him lice now what's the cure todayis we don't have the qu for this situation of course you can say yeah you just go to the local pharmacy put some stuff on your head unfortunately it doesn't work always I know some people that have conditions of lice for multiple years and only after they did Chua did the lice go away literally adults adults that are very hygienic very uh fit very good very everything but they have lice and it's embarrassing and it's painful and it's annoying and it's Raab what do I I don't understand I have lice what's going on with this lice okay so you know some likei the S says you could put certain things on your head maybe that could help there's certainly plenty of medicines I tried all the medicines I tried all these okay let me try Gula let me read the real answer is clean your mind of all the arrogance clean your mind of all the perversion clean your mind of all of the hatred clean your mind of all of the sins that are in your mind and those Li gone now a person that doesn't have Li but still has bad thoughts in his head once in a while while he's praying he's thinking about something inappropriate and everybody knows what I'm talking about in the middle of prayer he thinks about something he doesn't even think about when he wants to sin in the middle of the worst times people think about the worst things couple of hundred years ago one of the great sages says there is a schoa is a spiritual cure for bad thoughts what is it learn the tra one of the tractates in the it's one of the smallest tractates it's called makot it's about the different conditions of when they would whip somebody as a punishment at the time of the some people would get death penalty that's all discussed in but some people for all of the other sins that are not that not death penalty a person would get makot get whipped and thear separ is separated really into three sections of different conditions why who what when makot says to to learn it will eliminate the bad thoughts one of the hints that we learn is that the gimat the numerical value of the word is the same as the numerical value of is thoughts inappropriate thoughts but why just because they have the same numerical value of the letters that means that that's going to fix all the junk that's in a person's head no that's just a hint the r says that in Judaism when a man wants to marry a woman he has to give her what's called a kba AA is in essence a purchase contract where he is in essence purchasing the his future wife in return for committing to these three major things where he's going to supply her with food and shelter and a uh clothing obviously he has to be generous but most importantly he also has to be intimate with her when she wants to be intimate meaning the intimacy is in the hand of the woman not the man and in return she's married to him now if he no longer wants this woman he has to release her from this contract which is called a gate cancellation of a contract now sometimes there are evil players there are evil people where they want to hurt their wife by no longer wanting to be with her or she doesn't want to be with him anymore but they don't want to release her from the contract they don't want to give her a get the problem is that she cannot get remarried without having this contract this is called an auna it's a very very big problem and it's not a new problem now in the old days this would typically happen not because the man didn't want to give the get but rather because the man disappeared either because he died at war or got kidnapped and they no one had any evidence that he died or you know so therefore you know people traveled for years at a time so they woman would not be able to get remarried until somebody either confirm that they saw him uh die or they got a uh contract from him that he uh he gave her that's a get but unfortunately there was always bad players out there there was always bad people out there where simply they would want to hurt the woman and they would run away without uh you know releasing her from this marriage now at the time of the rambam the time of the S the time when Judaism had some power and I'm talking about not just you know Jewish people that don't follow uh uh Judaism you know the the the Zionist that are constantly uh causing the problems talking about real Judaism talk about Orthodox Judaism when we had s we we had you know uh real uh uh sense of Torah values uh now if a person did not want to release his wife did not want to give or get the ra writes what is the AL what do we do with such a person the is we force him to do it meaning we beat him up until he wants to do it we whip him you want to release that no okay you want to said no so the confusion here is wait a minute you're saying that the only way that she can get this is if he wants to releas her so how could it be we're beating him up and you're saying he wants to he doesn't want you're beating him up that's why he's doing it no no no Ram explains he wants to do it it's just that his evil inclination is making him forget about the right thing to do so after he gets beat up he gets Mak the the evil inclination runs away and the natural inclination of good is what's there and the natural inclination of the Jew is always to want to do the good thing the right thing so sometimes a person needs some Mak in order to do the right thing in order to clean up that mind so from there said just like he needed the makot in order to do the right thing by removing the bad stuff the same thing if you study the tractate of makot it removes the bad things from your mind fine now what does this all have to do with Cain Abel all this other stuff did you ever ask yourself why did Abel die I mean after all the general Story the most common one that you've heard is that Abel was good Abel was righteous Abel was murdered now and Cain was the bad guy Cain first murderer horrible guy terrible guy got punished Abel good guy but he still died why did hasm allow him to die now if you go into the cabalistic world they going explain to you that this first and foremost this is all part of the ultimate war of good versus evil but there is even another reason a deeper reason a reason that will explain to you why the Torah spend so much energy to to explain to us and warn us about not consuming things that are forbidden like non kosher food not saying things that are forbidden because of the potential damage you see every answer you can possibly imagine is in the Tor and our sages bring it out to light one of the great Al Shalom he wrote a seph called The Book of the most important rules of the Torah now unlike most important principles unlike the rambam my manad that says that there is 13 principles of Fate Al says really there are three principles that are the foundation one two means belief in God t means that the Torah is divine it's from it's from God means belief in reward and Punishment those are the three foundations in chapter 3 three section 15 of seph albo clarifies one of the most extraordinary things I've ever seen now the subject at hand is not just this he's talking about something completely different about why hasem changed from feeding from telling ad all the way until Noah that they're forbidden from eating the animals and then that was changed at the time of Noah and then again change at the time of Mount sa where only certain animals were allowed that's the overall subject which we're not going to discuss right now what we are going to discuss is the inner subject because in it is the story of Cain and Abel and Al asks why were they punished in such a way now if you are to say yeah you know Cain gave a uh sacrifice that wasn't really uh such a good sacrifice he gave some you know vegetables that weren't really so good he didn't even give fruits give vegetables okay fine but why was Abel killed I mean he was righteous he didn't make any sins right let's see Al says that Cain and Abel saw their father Adam and they saw that their father Adam is taking care of the fields growing the vegetables he's not killing any of the animals and Kain arrived at the conclusion that man has no superiority over the animals meaning he's not better than the animals because both are going to die but one thing that man can do over the animal is that he has the ability to fill the ground in order to to till the ground in order to have better fruits to eat the animals can't do that why cuz you have your fruits you have your vegetables the fruits are more delicious more nutritious and he says man can actually choose what he plants what he doesn't plant the animal can't do that it's it eats whatever is available but since Adam lived on Plants Cain figured that the spirit is the same in all men and animals because they die alike and therefore he brought vegetables to thank Hashem for the superiority that Hashem gave him that gave him over the plants meaning not superiority over over the animals but rather the superiority that he had over the plants and he didn't bring an animal sacrifice like his brother Abel did because he figured that there really wasn't much of a superiority over the animals there's most much of a difference between man and animal what whatever difference there was that we just mentioned about the plants thing is insignificant and he sacrificed the vegetables instead of the fruit that was the basic sin we've all heard of Al says the bigger sin that Cain made was that he thought that man was not Superior over animals and even the superiority that he recognized was not really significant at all and therefore he concluded that it's forbidden to sacrifice the animals to kill them at all because they were like men and therefore he concluded that the purpose of man is the same purpose as animals they have to eat and drink in order to live the purpose of man is to eat and drink in order to live later on after he sees Abel sacrifice the animal and Hashem accepts it he concludes oh okay so that just means you're allowed to kill just like you're allowed to kill the animal you're allowed to kill the people so he killed Abel but we see that despite this horrific thought process God let him live for seven more Generations until he was removed from the world with the rest of the generation of and so on but still everyone knows about his sin or at least part of what I said what was the sin of Abel because he is gone Al says Abel thought that man was Superior to animals because he could control them forc them to work for him but he didn't think that you're allowed to kill the animals except if it's for God as a sacrifice in order to show that God is superior to both men and animals and because of that he sacrificed the animals why is God superior to the animals according to Abel because he doesn't die animals die people die and therefore what makes God Superior to them according to Abel was the fact that he doesn't die and therefore he was punished by being allowed to by being murdered because although his thoughts were similar to King because they were more calculated he rationalized things and he figured yes the the difference between us we all die and everything it's a uh we're not that much different from the animal what makes us different is the fact that we can make them work but in reality the uh the uh at the end of the day we're not that different from the animal and what makes God different from us is that he doesn't die he put a lot of thought into it that actually led to the punishment because that calculation would be more successful in misleading other people and Hashem decided to remove him from the world so while he got rewarded initially for God accepting his sacrifice because his thoughts would be more likely to bring people to recognize that God is greater than people while Cain saw that there's no value in there's no difference in between men and and uh an animals and he didn't recognize the greatness of God Abel recognized that there is some superiority between men and animals but the big sin was the fact that he put the wrong value on God wasn't that he didn't recognize the greatness of God is that he didn't recognize the significance of that greatness he put a wrong reason of why God is great and therefore hasem said that calculation that philosophy is much more likely to succeed in misleading people so I'll accept this sacrifice because at first some people will end up recognizing that God is great so I'll accept his sacrifice while Cain's sacrifice he's not recognizing God at all so I won't accept the sacrifice but I have to remove AEL from the world why he'll cause people to think differently miscalculate things and much bigger damage because the truth is that men are born like animals but they become superior to the animal as a result of their recognition of how great God is so while Cain's conclusion was that since God favors able and accepted his sacrifice I could kill people Abel's conclusion was that since the bottom line was that everything he concluded was wrong was heretical Hashem decided that this has to be removed from the world I know this sounds a little confusing we'll summarize it at this I'll go to the next point of what the rambam writes the r writes in his which is the laws of the foundation of the Tor right in the beginning of the M meaning if you learn the rambam the first day that you are learning rambam you arrive at this and the rambam writes in the third Al first chapter third Al after telling us that the foundation of all foundations and the pillar of wisdom is to know that there is a primary being who brought all existence into being all the entities in the heavens the Earth and what is between them come into existence only from the truth of his being meaning the same principle of Faith as the RAB Al the second is that if one would imagine that he doesn't exist meaning that God doesn't exist then no other being could possibly exist that's is part of that belief in God is that this world doesn't exist without him the third law is that if one would imagine the none of the entities aside from God existed he alone would continue to exist and the Nullification of their existence would not nullify his existence because because all of the other entities require him and he is blessed be he does not require them nor any one of them meaning he doesn't require the world as a whole the people as a whole or anyone as an individual he doesn't require anything he doesn't need anything and therefore the truth of his being does not resemble the truth of any other being as implied by the Prophet Jeremiah and God your Lord is true he is alone is true and no other entity possesses truth that is compared to his truth as well as in the book of Deuteronomy 4:35 there is nothing else aside from him that aside from him there is no other Truth uh there's no other true existence like his in so many words the foundation of Judaism the foundation of the Torah the foundation of the world is to believe that God is one God is omnipotent meaning he is all powerful and God is omnipresent he is everywhere and conclusion is that this omnipotence this omnipresence this Oneness by definition means he doesn't need any of us individually or as a whole he doesn't need anything and to say anything contrary to that is antithetical to the Torah and to God so now the rambam tells us that there are some people out there that will teach you the opposite that will teach you things that are the opposite of what this is in fact the commentaries are saying that there is a gentile perspective which Unfortunately today has become a perspective by some Jews misled by people like YY Jacobson and Manis fredman and some of the other clowns and Heretics like a uh the guy from daily wire that said that God needs us or is desperate for us recently in some show that somebody showed me this perspective views that God's existence is dependent on the world comparing the relationship between him and the world to a relationship between the body and the soul and their their idea is that the soul can't exist without the body and therefore God cannot exist without the world this perspective is totally untenable a God who is dependent on any entity cannot be a God and therefore the rambam statements emphasize that although God is the creator that Dimension does not describe his being his existence is not at all dependent on whether our world came into being or not and anyone that says anything else however clever it is is not only wrong he is an enemy of the Torah and will be uprooted from this eternity why because as Al explains to us Kan and Abel didn't have a big crowd they didn't have YouTube if they had a new thought what was their crowd Abel was married to his two twin sisters Kain was able to his one twin sister and then they had their parents so even if one of them had some brilliant thought and they wanted to get everybody together they still don't even have a minion of 10 people most likely they're not even going to get all the people why yeah everybody's busy he's doing this she's doing that at best Cain could probably give his idea to his wife and Abel can give his idea to his two wives That's it now Kane is completely wrong he thinks he's an animal but God is willing to tolerate that he's willing to let that continue existing because that emptiness if you fill it up with some knowledge you can fix it the secular mentality that was not educated is fixable why it's simply an empty vessel some wrong thoughts here and there but not much thought ever was put into it so they just live the world like animals they eat and drink consume stuff accumulate stuff that's the reason why so many of them as soon as educate them about Tah they change oh wow God will punish me I don't I get punished oh God exist God this wow they changed they changed their life why they were an empty vessel their whole life they simply didn't have anything God's willing to tolerate it in fact the world is full of it and he allows it to exist why because they're all changeable you just got to fill up that well with some truth the Heretics on the other hand the ones that have put some thought into it and have decided that yes I think God needs you I think God is desperate for you I think that God is a man that died 2,000 years ago I think this and I think that and told me listen buddy you could think whatever you want but you have nothing to rely on you have nothing to depend on because no one of the just agrees with you there's no verse in the tah that says what you say and if you even want to say it you have to find somebody that agrees with you and after you show them look the only places that your idea is mentioned is when the sages say if somebody were to say this they are wrong this thought is untenable unacceptable heretical and that person if he doesn't change has no share of the world to come go to G him forever that's the only time your thought is accepted is is is is discussed no one ever said what you said no one ever said God need you 3,334 years of Judaism full of rabbis full of sages full of righteous people full of amazing people that sacrificed their days and night and their lives and their families for the sake of serving Hashem and learning his Torah not a single one said God needs you but you come in the year 2023 and say God needs you and that poison is going and being taught by other people that are trying to justify this philosophical thought guess what not only are you wrong but the punishment you have prepared for yourself is endless because it is something that influences people it works the fact that it works increases the punishment if it was was just somebody saying I don't believe in nothing I believe that I came from some frog you want to believe you came from a frog he believe he came from some amiba The Other Guy believes he's a monkey go visit the zoo you could see your grandparents if you want no one really is going to listen and spend their life and sacrifice their life for these nonsensical beliefs but if you tell people some stuff that sounds like the Torah manipulated with poison manipulated with things that are antithetical to the tah unfortunately this is likely to influence people as we've seen with our own eyes over the last several years that this poison has come to the world says I have to remove this person from the world I have to uproot it from the world because it works you're going to say yeah it's just uh you know there even though there's no Sage that says what I say there's 70 faces to the Torah this is another heretical foolish and ignorant thought that people think that any air that comes out of their body could just simply be added to the Torah no 70 faces to the Torah means that it has to agree with the Torah not disagree with everyone and simply be a new Torah 70 faces to the Torah means 70 facets to the same Diamond when you have one Sage after another one after another one after another one t after another one after another all the sages throughout all of the generation saying that these ideas are untenable the wrong they're heretical that's enough if even one said it's wrong it's enough but unfortunately because the ideas of heresy that work sound logical sound attractive sound interesting in fact they're easier to understand than the truth at times look it took me 40 minutes to explain to you the truth explaining the LIE 40 seconds the LIE is easier to believe the lie is easier to understand in fact the LIE is much more difficult to prove that it's a lie if you're because it requires education and education requires time and effort and investment something that not everybody's willing to do not something that everyone is willing to understand because when you have a lie that makes sense to a bunch of people that are uneducated and you know that the truth is more complicated has a lot more sour ources has a lot more moving Parts you unfortunately are not going to fight fight an easy battle because you see who said in if you eat non kosher your spiritual mind will become stupid meaning that even if you hear the truth you won't understand it you won't accept it because you have a spiritual block over that heart of yours over that mind of yours there's no spiritual block for the lies the lies are the tum that we discuss that's theat that we see in this week's par that's the tarat that's the evil words that's the evil thoughts that anybody can get it and that's why RF Al says Heaven had to be removed from the world because his heretical thoughts were likely to influence people and Hashem did not want someone that would influence people to think that he needs the sacrif ices he needs people he needs anything especially when that argument that he gave would make sense to people that are uneducated this is why the RAB Al concludes this section by saying the following and I'll read word forward what he says and then we can start with the questions he says according to these three opinions Cain Abel Seth what was the Seth opinion Seth was born after the murder of Abel Seth was like his father who believed that the believed the truth that man is born like an animal but become superior to the animal as a result of their recognition of the greatness of God so now you have Cain believing that we're no different than the animals Abel believing that we have some superiority over the animals and the uh we could only sacrifice them for the sake of God but in reality the only thing that makes God someone to sacrifice for is the fact that he doesn't die Seth had the truth so you have three different opinions here ALU says all of mankind is also divided into these three different types of opinions three different types of classes one class is the opinion of King that thinks that most the most important human occupation is to work make money consume agriculture things like that they feel that political leaders people that are at Power are evil and they desire to kill them just like Cain K killed Abel the second class follow the opinion of Abel thinking that politics leadership is the most important Pursuit and risk their lives for our political activity like Abel did because they think that it leads humans to perfection as we're told concerning the Roman rulers at the time Kings risk their lives for the sake of power which is natural to them as it was for Abel who was the first Shepherd and ruler and lost his life on that account the third class followed the opinion of Seth thinking the important thing is to worship God and desire power and and despise power and other Pleasures meaning the priority is to serve God and that's it everything else is not even secondary and as the opinion of Seth is not really easily grasped by people at first time at first sight he was followed only by a few rare individuals the opinion of Cain is widely prant prevalent that's why the Earth is full of violence and people that are just simply spending their lives working and chasing money their belief is that man has no superiority over the animals they need power and therefore they corrupt the world and live like animals the politicians the people that chase power they don't get this power for no reason the reason why they get power the reason why they can claim that they are so popular is because they're slick tongue speakers they manipulate words in such a fashion that it makes all of the ignorance that surround them fall into their hands and unfortunately incapable of getting out only a few will be like Seth they realize the number one most important thing in this world is to serve God not because he doesn't die because that's what the Torah says when we follow God we know that the price of being wrong is a big deal the price of causing people to be wrong is the worst possible thing that could exist in this world because is the one thing that hasem says has to be uprooted from the world even without a warning may he be his will that we always stay in the right path the path of our sages the path of our righteous people the path of God the path of Truth as the major principles that Sal taught the first one is the mid of the principle of truth if a person has the truth he has everything but if a person has a liar whatever he has will eventually fall we continue staying with the truth and those the one hang themselves like theim says let them find a tall tree and hang from there with that being said I'll have a quick drink and then you guys could start asking some questions okay let's see here we go all right um have you read the Dead Sea Scrolls pierced M Messiah uh yes in fact a rabbi tovia singer has a video about that and that it's actually one of the manipulations of the church that they actually changed a verse uh in Psalms to make it look like it's a uh holes in the hand but it's not doesn't say that in the actual verses themselves so they actually manipulated the script many times uh and um this is one of the places so uh I would highly recommend that uh you go to Rabbi tovia singer's uh uh page on YouTube uh type in whatever question you have whatever proof you think you have from Christianity that proves their Idol is uh uh you know is uh is is is really something good and you'll see that every single uh issue that they bring up is uh is simply a lie uh that's staring you in the face you just you just unfortunately don't know it uh to think that a human as God is considered 100% idol worship uh so whether it's a uh you want to call him uh Jesus or you want to call him yeshu you want to call him Yeshua or you want to call him uh uh Pikachu it doesn't make a difference it's considered 100% idol worship a god that is a man is not a God because men are limited they're limited to the place they're limited to the time they're limited to a physicality God says that he's not limited uh that's number one number two the thought that God is a man means that God would have had to separate himself just like the New Testament says that they believe that God is in essence three this is another form of idolatry when the verse in the Tora says hereo Israel God is your Lord God is one that in essence is a verse from the to that shows you that God is one not three and anyone that says that God separates himself into multiple pieces or anything like that God is not a Transformer so he doesn't go into three only Transformers going into three maybe they could turn into dinosaurs maybe they could turn into Jesus but they're certainly not going to turn into God so if you want to believe in the one God that's the one God of Israel there is no other God aside from him I highly recommend that you learn a little bit educate yourself before you go to Gom forever for believing in idolatry uh let's see uh I see are you waiting for the coming of the Messiah uh yeah one of the principles of uh the Jewish faith there's 13 principles of Faith the uh one of the the last principle is that the Messiah can arrive at any given time uh this this is actually discussed by uh the Torah in many places yov ainu uh says it in the Book of Genesis uh you have it's mentioned by uh uh mosu it's also mentioned by the prophets more extensively the Prophet Zacharia talks about Jeremiah Isaiah Ezekiel chapter 38 of Ezekiel chapter 14 of of Zacharia uh they discuss uh the end of the world uh they discuss how three days before the Messiah is a uh uh uh announced uh the prophet elahi would come and tell us that the Messiah is coming this is also another proof of why nobody that has lived so far is is the Messiah because the Prophet eliahu did not announce anyone to be uh uh the Messiah so the point being is is that yes we eagerly await for the Messiah uh but those that are aware of the conditions for a person to be saved at the time uh uh that this will happen want a little bit more time to help more people do Chua why because if the Messiah showed up right now the uh uh the worst part of all of the prophecies will be fulfilled meaning that the overwhelming majority of the world would be annihilated which would include also the Jewish world not just the Gentile world now the prophet Zar already says that two-thirds of the world will die in The War uh at the end of the world and the last third uh will be purified like you purify golden silver meaning that even the last Third only some of them will actually survive not all of them now if if that last third let's say uh would be today uh then that means that the overwhelming majority of even that last third would be annihilated because most people have either Idol worshipping beliefs atheistic beliefs secular beliefs all types of nonsensical beliefs and generally speaking very few people are either righteous Jews or righteous noites so we plead with Hashem to uh uh certainly bring us the mssiah but also give us the help uh to uh to help as many people as possible do chuva and recognize uh and the greatness of God the truth of the tah and follow it before that happens some more people are actually saved because once the mashiah comes that's it there's no more uh there's no more uh uh time there's no time to do Chua after the mashiah comes the page four talks about how at the time of King David and King Solomon uh there was no more converts uh they stopped accepting converts for a period of time not for just that period of time because because the uh uh the monarchy the kinghood of uh of David and and and his son Solomon got to such a point that the nence they had the world dominance so of course everybody would want to convert but they couldn't know if they want to convert for the right reasons or the wrong reasons so they stopped allowing converts for a period of time because it's easy to want to be part of the Jewish people when they are in essence the rulers of the world but this of course uh ended once we went into Wars and the BET mikdash was was destroyed the rulership of uh of uh uh of King Solomon ended and uh we lost that stronghold in the world uh and that's when uh conversion uh began again but the point being is is that we see that the uh uh there is uh there's a time where Hashem ends certain things certain opportunities he ends certain opportunities why because the uh the freedom of choice uh that a person is supposed to exercise to let say for example to follow God is when they have questions in their mind whether it's good you know whether it's true whether it's not true you get rewarded for following it even when you don't know all of the answers you don't know for sure about heaven and all the details of the Torah but you still follow it because you have faith in hem and you follow the Torah because you know that this is a uh uh um what what you know what the truth is even if you don't know all the details you still follow it now when the Messiah comes or after let's say for example a person dies and they see the truth for what it is there's no more freedom of choice why because you already know there's no there's no test here so that's why a just like Hashem stopped the uh uh the you know uh allowing converts for a period of time when uh King David and and King Solomon were ruling uh uh because there was it was no Freedom of Choice same concept at the time of mashiach once mashiach comes that's it there's no more freedom of choice because everybody's going to know what the truth is and therefore whatever conversions didn't happen uh you know whatever people want to convert or whatever people want to do chat there's no more time unless a person was already in the process unless a person was already in the process it just they didn't finish it yet meaning they already started converting they started learning they started moving they started doing all of the things but the the uh um uh uh different steps that uh need to take place let's say the bedine or something like that weren't done yet it's not things that are within their control like they did their best uh and everything they could do in their own hands but uh the parts that are outside of their control uh you know weren't uh executed yet for example the bedine didn't invite them to finalize the conversion yet even though they moved to the Jewish Community even though they've showed that they're honest and they're following the Torah and they are following everything that uh you know that needs to be done even though they did everything the bedine still hasn't decided to finalize it for whatever reason so a person like that I could uh uh I could be sure that a person like that would be allowed to convert uh you know because again they already did what they could but people that are uh you know delaying things and are are are not doing it for the right reason or they're simply not uh uh doing it at all they're just pretending that they want to do it those people will not be converted either way a person needs to understand that you can get to heaven uh you know not just as a righteous Jew you can get to Heaven as a righteous noahide uh it's just that uh to be a righteous noahide is not as easy as people think it's not as easy as people think there's a a lot that is required from the Noyes and uh many times people ask me wait a minute how could it be that uh you know that so many people will uh you know are going to die at the end of the of of the world doesn't uh you know God feel bad or or you know for example people ask about this let's say about the Muslims somebody asked me a few days ago uh I've had this question a million times but uh somebody asked me a few days ago about the Muslims he says are you know since you know obviously the Christians you know they believe in you know idolatry so there's no way there's no place in heaven for Idol worshipers uh they're considered minim they're considered the missionaries there's anyone that is has beliefs in Christianity whatever version of it whether it's uh Christianity Protestant Lutheran Catholicism m Messianic Judaism which is really another form of protestant uh uh Christianity all that stuff that's all idolatry those people cannot be uh uh uh in heaven unfortunately uh uh the uh for them it's uh they believe in idolatry and hopefully they wake up now what about the uh Muslims that technically believe in the same God as the god of Israel in fact the rambam that and the rambam is our foundation of foundation so you can't go against the rambam the rambam paskin that the Muslims are not Idol worshippers uh even though they have that stone in Mecca they don't pray to the stone in Mecca uh there's uh certainly uh a lot of uh uh flawed beliefs a lot of mistakes uh but uh needless to say they're not Idol worshippers so does that mean that they're all going to go to heaven No in fact the opposite the commentators on the Book of Daniel say that the uh uh Ishmael which is in essence the Muslims uh will be punished even more than the Christians at the end of days because of all of the uh uh uh suffering they cause on the Jews uh at the end of days uh so a person that wants to go to heaven has to either be a follower of the Torah as a Jew a follower of the Torah as a gentile meaning a noahide the uh whether it you know any other religion whether it be Buddhism secularism Zionism Islam Christianity Catholicism all of those other things will not have a place in heaven that's just a uh the that's the Jewish belief anyone that tells you otherwise is either ignorant or a liar that's the Jewish belief the Jewish belief is you want to go to heaven you want to be uh saved you want to be part of that uh last third that uh the the uh uh the uh Messiah will will protect and so on you have to follow the Torah you don't follow the Torah then you have unfortunately your own blood is in your hands uh the blood you know that that's your blood is in your hands that's the to says so next question I'm not perfect Rabbi I'm corrupted human being uh the Gentile want to know uh the real power of God okay so the real power of God is discussed uh to a certain extent you know all of everything is discussed is in the tah not to a certain everything is discussed in the Tah now for a person that admits that they are limited you know you call it corrupted but you know we'll say it in a nicer way you're limited you're limited in your ability to control your behavior you're limited in your mental capacity you're limited in your uh uh uh you know controlling your emotions and so on you're limited right uh now for person to admit they're limited but in the same sentence say I want understand God is an oxymoron why cuz if a person is aware that they cannot even understand themselves fully to the point of controlling themselves why because the more a person understands thems the more they have control of themselves if they understand themselves and they know that certain triggers certain things trigger them to get angry certain things trigger them to lust after things certain things trigger them to do things that are inappropriate the more a person is understanding of himself the more they have control over themselves so if a person admits that they have no control over themselves many times so and yet they want to understand God it's it's an oxymoron it doesn't make any sense doesn't make you don't even if you did understand yourself completely there's still no uh uh uh human ability to understand God to understand understand God you have to be God now to know about some of the things that God does or has done uh that is certainly simple why because we have it mentioned in the Tor we hav't mentioned in the uh the stories of the sages we have't mentioned in the mid the in many places in the Tor now if a person reads these uh uh uh reads the tah reads the stories of the sages they'll understand the greatness of God through the lives of different sages I'll give you an example there is a uh that there's different uh uh uh opinions about certain things and one of the is about this is the filteries now not just about the what's in the filteries which everyone agrees or the color of it which everyone agrees we're talking about even how to fold the to fill in how to fold it to filling uh and this a uh uh uh tells us it's actually I'll show you this tells us that the way you fold your uh your tfillin your toilin of the head should be with a uh um the uh straps on the right side and on the left side as if it's the wings of a dove as if it's a meaning that the will have the imagery of a dove pure precious Dove when it's just sitting there in the and the wings are next to it why why why what do we care about doves say inat page 49a that at the time of the Romans the evil Romans wanted to do everything possible to destroy the Jewish people and one of the ways was that they forbid them they made a law to forbid the Jewish people from putting on to Fillin in those days the righteous people would put on the tfillin not just during the day but they would wear the tan all the time and there was a certain sadik named Elisha and this Elisha refused to listen to the evil Romans and continued wearing his to fill in not hiding them in any way shape or form he wore them walking around with the toilin one day he's walking around with his toilin and this evil Roman and his son are sitting over there and as the Romans are half asleep half awake doing nothing all day eating donuts and just simply torturing people one of them sees this Jew sees this Alisha walking around withon look at that look look look he's wer feeling he's Wen feeling so immediately that Roman gets up grabs his sword and starts chasing after Alisha starts chasing after Elisha Alisha is running running but of course the Roman was physically stronger and he caught Elicia in a corner Elicia quickly right before the Roman King took the fine on his head which is the only one that he was wearing and put him in his tent the Roman walks up to him and he's in the corner his sword is out he says what do you have in your hands Alicia says wings of a dove what n you have said no I have wings of a dove open your hands Elicia opens his hands and in his hand are the wings of a dove the Roman thinks he went crazy cuz he was sure he saw feeling on his head and this Alicia was then called from that point on Elisha Elisha the owner of the wings the wings that came from toilin that miraculously turn his to filling into Wings to save his life because Hashem assures us that we will not get hurt as a result of following his Torah so as a commemoration of this extraordinary miracle that happened 2,000 years ago the sages say the way you folded to fill in should remind you of the story so you know the greatness of God not not just when you are going to sh not just when you are praying at sh not just when you're putting on it to fill no no no you should even know the greatness of God even when you are folding your to feeling and getting ready to go to work getting ready to go on with your day even then you should be thinking about the greatness of God and this now that you know the story of why we folded to fill in this way will help you even do that so the greatness of God is unlimited if a person simply understood the mechanics that go into your body if you understood the mechanics of your eye you would see that there is more technology in your eye than all of the technology that ever existed in the world combined people are trying to make this uh new uh uh artificial intelligence superpower thinking that you know people are uh you know going to be controlled by robots one day this is nothing short of stupid why because people don't have even the capacity of understanding a single cell in your body a single cell in your body people cannot understand it with all the computers in the world with all the computers in the world they cannot understand a single cell and yet they think that people are going to be controlled by robots this is just people that watched a lot of movies now of course technology has certain things certain benefits certain tools certain abilities and so on but for people that think that the world is going to be run by robots and aliens and all that stuff simply have imp purify their mind with all types of mumbo jumbo that it's hard for them to even see the truth it's hard for them to see the truth and that's why one of the things that people need to do when they become uh uh religious when they are on the path of becoming religious one of the first things they need to do is to eliminate the poison that they're consuming eliminate the poison that comes from news eliminate the poison that comes from movies eliminate the poison that comes from TV shows eliminate all that poison eliminate the poison that they're eating because the minute you eliminate the spiritual and physical poison that your body and soul are consuming already that is going to make you healthier even without learning Torah that auto automatically is going to make you healthier spiritually healthier now if you add Torah to that too that certainly is going to give you even more more information more knowledge more everything and it's actually going to help you see the greatness of God in your own life and in the words that you're learning in the tah it's going to be easy for you to understand the stories understand the laws understand the greatness of God even in your everyday life where you wake up in the morning and you see the sky the average person sees the sky and simply used to it simply thinks it's it's not a big deal but the reality is anyone that understands what they're seeing is and they see a color they understand wait a minute the the sky is not blue people oh the sky is blue the sky is not blue sky is see-through so how does this blue come through where does this blue come from the explains to us obviously the sky is seethrough but yet we see it as blue why it's a reflection it's a reflection now people say yeah it's a reflection of the ocean yeah but where is this ocean the ocean is also you take the ocean you put it in your hand what is it is it blue no the water is not blue it's the water's clear the water clear so where's the blue come from the water is clear the the sky is clear but yet we see blue where do blue come from is all a reflection of the Throne of Glory of God it's all reflection of a throne of Glory the that's the refle that's where the blue comes from so now an average person sees a sky oh yeah it's blue sky out there sky is not blue seethrough water is not blue it's see-through what's blue Throne of Glory is is blue so again now person that eats uner food person that consumes uncer media a person that uh that's constantly consuming all types of vile things simply thinking ah this guy's crazy fanatic he lives in the uh in the 1800s that's what they're going to think unfortunately we feel bad for those people and unfortunately uh you know we uh they're sick they're spiritually sick so the way to cure yourself is first and foremost stop consuming garbage stop consuming garbage the minute you stop consuming garbage automatically you'll become healthier and I've seen this it's tried and tested many times many times last point on this I tell you one of the things that destroys the soul more than anything else is immorality when a a person is immoral when they're uh waste seed promiscuous that's one of the things that destroys the soul more than any anything else creates the most amount of demons creates the most amount of spiritual damage person that does not protect themselves morally in in that sense is a person that's literally can can go from one day he is an advocate and a lover of the Jews the next day he's a Nati that's the I'm telling you and I know this from Firs hand and people that watch me that have helped out of this crisis that they've had in multiple time over the years know exactly who I'm talking to and what I'm talking about because there been many cases literally I've had people that were lovers of the Torah lovers of Jews lover of everything all of a sudden one day turned into Nazis turn into anti-semites turn into anti- God and one day they like woke up they figure listen what happened to me I don't understand they reach out to me and and multiple cases I was able to get them out of it now convincing arguments simply by telling them to stop stop the evil stop the immorality stop wasting seed within a few days sometimes a week two weeks all of a sudden I don't hate Jews anymore I don't hate the toah anymore I don't hate God anymore I'm not atheist anymore why cuz you stopped destroying yourself you stopped destroying yourself your your uh uh n your soul whether you're Jew or Gentile yearns for your creator but if you're constantly putting spiritual blockers on it unfortunately you're going to uh turn yourself into a magnet of bad so that's the big thing you want to see the greatness of God first thing to do is sanctify Yourself by stopping the evil once you've done that you could grow from there we'll go to the next one uh Yos did not come to save anyone he couldn't even save himself Jesus was not able to save himself he hung out there like a pig or or some piece of meat in the market and uh for whatever reason or another Christians think it's a good thing to have uh the guy that's uh hanging on a cross on their necks on their on their arms as tattoos I never really understood that that's like saying listen guys our leader got uh killed with an electrical chair let's all tattoo him an electrical chair on our arms and put chains with an electrical chair and him sitting on it like I never got that I never understood that why why the whole cross and the guy hanging on a dead is is it means anything good I mean it just seems ridiculous to me but that's idolatry idolatry always is ridiculous it's the most vile ridiculous things in the world anybody that has left idolatry when they look back they always say it's the same thing every time and I've had many people tell me this and I've seen this they always say I can't believe I used to believe that stupidity and I believe some guy died and that somehow helps me 2,000 years later how do I believe that some guy that was born out of a woman that cheated on her husband is like he's God like like people look at it like I can't believe I believe that nonsense they don't understand how they were there the reason is because people connect to impurity that impurity takes hold of them and it's full and all the stupidity of the world all of a sudden makes sense but if you really think about it anyone that has their brain in their head would realize the whole thing of the Cross and a guy hanging on it doesn't make any sense it's having a leader that just got electrocuted in a chair hanging on your on your like it doesn't make any sense it's like it's just or it's like somebody got a death penalty where they chopped his head off so everybody decides to get a chain with a guy with no head on you know like the uh a picture with a maybe a pumpkin head oh yeah that's our Gody look he's a pumpkin head like is that stupid or what that's unfortunately idolatry idolatry doesn't make any sense get away from idolatry go to the Torah that's where the truth is someone that cannot save thems cannot save anybody else either you want someone to save you a who is the one and only but he's only going to save you if you help yourself you don't help yourself don't ask for uh don't ask for anybody to save you because a person came to this world to serve God not God serve him you want God God to help you you have to help yourself you have the ability you have the tools uh let's see let's see why is God upset with Amal then if he could care less ah okay very good that's actually a very good question now Amal if you see the first time we hear about amalik is when uh uh timna marries elifas the son of uh of asav and they have a son named amalik the say in the m that timna came to yobu and told him she wants to convert and she wants to be his uh his uh his wife his mid servant he refused to accept her because she had some evil traits and uh she could not even though she came from a uh a a very powerful family she uh wanted to she knew that the uh um the family of ab is and yob were uh the uh the family that God chose and she wanted to be connect herself to it and she said if I can't connect myself to the ab andov at least connect myself to the other side which is asav and she ended up going to his son elas and she married him and God punished uh the Jewish people uh as a result of this uh uh mistake you can say it's mentioned in the uh in the in theim that they didn't convert her they should have converted her uh from there we learned that literally over the generations for 4,000 years already the Jewish people have been suffering from the hands of amalik as a result of this one act now so in so many words it looks like Amal has a job am has a job to take revenge against the Jews that's his role in the world the next time we hear about Amal is after the Jewish people leave Egypt we're on the way to mount saai we're celebrating we're excited and all of a sudden Amal decides to travel 1600 miles in order to attack us because they want to let us know they're not afraid of God that's that's that was their message they're not afraid of God they were the enemies of God so on one end God is punishing us the descendants of yob which is also called Israel with this Amal and this Amal also says he doesn't believe in God so he has a role that was given to him by the same God he doesn't believe in and when Yeshua benun fights him with the Army which the yak M says was the most extraordinary war that ever existed only to be uh uh uh uh matched by the end of the world the war between am Isel and the war of Amal that happened at the time of Moses and Yeshua B which Hashem told uh Moshe to tell yosua to stop it even though we were winning he told him to stop it I don't want you to kill them and annihilate them yet I want to leave them for the end apparently they have a certain role in the world says that that war that war was a lot of Supernatural Powers all types of uh extraordinary things happen anyone that wants to see some of the details can go in there but to give you a little titbit the uh uh Amal was not a regular normal people They were uh you know they knew a lot of Witchcraft and uh all types of uh uh different mystical powers and they knew exactly when each person is destined to die so because they knew it they would only send the people that were not destined to die to war uh because no one could kill them so imagine you're fighting an enemy like the Palestinians that doesn't care about death but unlike the Palestinians the uh the uh uh the amals couldn't die so here you have a situation where you're fighting a people that can't die so that's a pretty uh pretty interesting War now either way a uh the uh the war had a lot of other things hasem stopped the sun in the middle of the sky all types of interesting things to says uh in several places now so we see that Amal is a punishment for a mistake that was made used as a punishment on the Jewish people when they're not following what hasem said at different times whether it was the inter marriage and the uh atheism and communism that happened before the Holocaust or what happened at the time of uh 2,000 years ago at time of the bet all the different baseless hatred and desecration of Shabbat all the different sins that am makes AEM uses a which from them comes Amal uses them as the stick to hit his children to get them to come back and do chuva so if that's their role why is God going to punish them why is God going to punish them why does the Z say that the Throne of glory is incomplete until hasem removes Amal from the world the reason why is because although they have a role to do evil that doesn't mean that it's they they you know they have no choice they can choose not to do evil if they choose to go in the uh way of their fathers the evil way to go against God to go against the Jewish people then they'll be punished for it just like anybody else in world if they uh uh uh they choose to do chuba they choose to repent then they could actually end up going to uh good place like the some of the descendants of Haman ended up uh becoming great Jews in fact one of the sages uh one of the sages inar one of the sages inar uh was a uh uh mentioned in is in fact a in the book The by he uh he brings different famous uh converts uh that uh we know throughout history and uh everyone has heard about uh Haman having Haman which was the uh ham ham was the one of the descendants of amalik who tried to annihilate the Jewish people he um he had the Merit to have his descendants become great rabbis convert to Judaism and in fact one of the uh great uh uh rabbis that's mentioned in thear is Page 96b was the great grandson of ham was a great grandson of Haman soal ended up converting and becoming a righteous Jew so that means that they do have free choice they can do good if they want to choose to do good they don't have to convert to Judaism they could be just righteous Gentiles the difference between amalik and the rest of the people is that if they choose to do good they can become great they can become great on the good side if they choose to be bad meaning to go against am Isel they would also be great but on a negative end Hitler Nazism you know all those uh enemies of uh you know hasm gives them a lot of power this is what the Titus said to his uh uh Ulus that he should go against the Jewish people because God will give him uh a lot of power over the Jewish people so at least he can benefit out of one world of course OS didn't listen to him and ended up converting to Judaism but the point being is that people that go against the Jewish people are given a lot of power in this world because hem uses them as a as in essence as a weapon as a stick now that doesn't mean that he wants them to do it he's simply helping them do what they want to do and he gives them because they're doing this and he's using them for the role of helping his people do chuba to repent to clean up their sins and so on so he gives them a reward in this world by giving them certain benefits Financial benefits political benefits all types of power and so on but ultimately they'll get punished ultimately they get punished very severely because ultimately they're going against God it's just that hem says toid in that uh a person that comes to be purified Hashem will help him a person that's trying to become imp purified to go against God hashm will help him also Hashem will help you exercise your free choice whatever you choose hashm will help you if you want to serve God Hashem will help you if you want to go with God to to in essence sanctify his name hm will help you too so the difference with and the people that are in essence the enemies of of of am is that they get their uh uh they get a lot of power they get in essence their reward for being used as this stick in this world but their punishment is a endless punishment that's Eternal so uh but that's again that's because of their choice that's their choice okay next question good question good question um let see there are people can was there ever people who claimed Judaism and Incorporated their own belief system now Judaism is something that started at Mount saai when we received the tah uh that's a uh you know the this was before all of the other religions before Islam before uh uh um Christianity anything else before Judaism uh the only thing that existed was uh you know idolatry uh there was the monotheistic beliefs that started from Adam all the way to 10 Generations later to Noah 10 Generations later to abrah and then you know his son and his son yob and then the 12 tribes and then that all went through uh uh Mount saai uh that's where the Jewish people start in essence so from the beginning of the world there was monotheism there was the belief of God there was the belief in the uh uh the oral Torah but uh as far as Judaism being a a a formal religion that started when we received the Torah at Mount sa exactly 3,334 years ago now before Judaism there was only this belief that I just mentioned and idolatry all forms of idolatry now after Judaism after Judaism we had Judaism and idolatry and fast forward 3,334 years ago fast forward approximately 14400 years uh and you have the uh uh you have Christianity begin Christianity a originally started uh as a uh in essence people breaking off of Judaism you had Jesus the the uh uh the the leader if you will of Christianity was a Jew he didn't start Christianity he was a Jew that went off that decided to have people follow him instead of follow God he was a wayward person a wicked person and he got people to follow him now he still in essence practiced Judaism uh he didn't practice Christianity now after he died the there was no Christianity for 70 to 300 years after he died meaning that Christianity was not started by him or any one of the people that ever saw him the new testament which is in essence the creation of Christianity was something that was started many many uh uh years after his death many years after his death meaning that the authors of the New Testament never actually saw with their eyes Jesus uh you know or anything they heard they made up a lot of stories and uh there's a whole uh concoction of of of uh craziness that happened uh in the beginning because in the beginning they tried to uh uh make it very similar to Judaism so many ignorant Jews would follow them thinking that it's Judaism because the the people that started the the uh Christianity were uh you know initially were Jews they were ignorant and then they started bringing some Gentiles into it but how do you get a bunch of people to uh uh not only uh follow but also uh a uh uh make it like the law they in essence merged with the uh uh with the um Roman Empire the Roman Empire that was uh believing in all types of Idols uh initially was an enemy of the church but then later on became partners with the church because it would give them more legitimacy and power and so on so they the way that you actually get a lot of the uh uh idolatrous practices from Christianity uh you know the different things that they do their acts that they do uh the holidays the uh all these different uh things they have actually come from from from the Romans they come from the Roman Church from the Roman uh Empire doesn't even come from you know Jesus or anything like that uh so anyway this uh took another major change uh about 300 years later when you had Christianity and Catholicism uh and that obviously continued to change today there is uh somewhere in a neighborhood of 205,000 different copies of the New Testament 205,000 different copies of the New Testament meaning that there are words and letters and spelling differences between the different copies 205,000 now uh even if a person wants to say that one of those copies is the truth there's no way that you can tell which one it is uh so that's why again anyone that actually looks into uh Christianity uh will uh simply leave with uh the realization that it's false it's all man-made falsehood now this is not to say that there's any better situation happening with Islam Islam has many false beliefs uh that are uh simply too easy to prove uh I've mentioned them in the past uh you know you have a uh uh historical uh proofs uh you know Islam has a uh a belief that uh Moses was the uncle of Jesus even though they lived 15600 years difference uh between the two uh or that Miriam the sister of Moses was the mother of Jesus which is obviously stupid uh or par was friends with ham all types of other nonsensical beliefs that are very easy to prove that the Quran is also another man-made uh uh foolishness uh but again the falsehood as I mentioned earlier today the falsehood is easier and convenient to believe it's easier and convenient to believe uh whereas the truth is more complicated and more difficult to believe uh and that's that's again a uh simple fact of life now the Quran has not quite as many uh copies or different versions of it as the New Testament but there's still somewhere in the neighborhood of uh n or 10,000 different versions of the Quran uh where there's different spellings and different words and uh different uh uh statements Al together there many many different versions of it meaning that even if you had a uh a real version of it there's no way that anyone can say that one is it now these two religions started way after Judaism they in essence believe they're an extension of Judaism they're a continuation of Judaism because Judaism started with the tah tah we got 3,334 years ago Christianity started somewhere around 2,000 years ago so about you know, 1400 years or so after and then the uh uh uh uh Islam started about 1,400 years ago so you know about 600 years after uh after uh Christianity and you know almost 2,000 years after Judaism now even if somebody wanted to say yeah now we have the truth they still have to understand that since you are a in essence you're saying you're continuation you're saying that the uh the the original is is is the original people of the book you know the the Old Testament the Torah that's the original so that means that in no world can it be that the Quran or the New Testament are true and Judaism the Torah being false there's no such thing meaning there is a in in their mind in any IR rationale there's a possibility scientifically speaking there's a possibility where the Torah is true and the Quran and New Testament are true there's a possibility of that even though it's not realistic but still there's a possibility scientifically speaking but there's no such possibility where the Torah would be false and the uh the Quran or the New Testament will be real why because they're in essence saying that they continuation everything started at Mount saai so for everybody so that's also another thing that is discussed in a book that was written about a thousand years ago and translated to multiple languages available in English it's called the kuzari kuari k u z a r i kuari this was a very famous debate between a very scholarly educated King righteous King that had a dream where an angel told him that God is happy with his desire but not with his actions because he thought that he was serving God but he was serving him the wrong way so since God saw that this Gentile was yearning for the truth just didn't know it he went on a uh a journey to uh uh invite all types of uh religious leaders to you know to debate with them what the truth is so the leaders of Islam came and debated with them and they lost the debate why because they told told them where is all your source for everything they said with the Jews he said there's no possible way that it's the Jews there's only a few of them so you Muslims can't have the truth can't have the truth so he brought the church he brought the uh Christians the leaders of the Christian world and he had a debate with them and he said okay where's your source for everything you say where's everything where does it all start and they said the uh the book The Jewish book The Tor he says how could it be you are so big and you're bringing everything from them why should I even talk to you so he kicked him out also and then he brought one of the leaders of the Jewish people his name was lived a thousand years ago approximately and this documented the entire debate question for question word for word very very deep and extraordinary questions brought by this King and answers by the rabbi with sources both of them are very learned and and and it's un believable debate anybody that's a deep thinker that's a uh you know is a has a uh you know has a uh mental capacity to read a uh serious book and wants to know the truth any question you could possibly have is in that uh in that book it's probably about I would say maybe a thousand Pages or so you could buy it for uh you know on on online there's a copy there's multiple Publishers that have published it I would recommend the one by feldheim um because they're are reliable uh translator but anyway there's multiple Publishers that have published it it's called kuzari kusari it's a famous real story that happened about a thousand years ago uh that will answer uh your questions and also not just about Judaism but also about the falsehood of Christianity as well as Islam uh so that's that yeah let's see uh let's see let's see no questions oh here we go here we go there the questions okay uh can people become Jewish yes absolutely there is uh uh uh 36 places in the Torah in the Old Testament and uh in fact there is uh Z that says that there are 12 other uh teachings in the t meaning a total of uh over almost 50 places uh in the Torah 46 places 48 places uh in a tah that talk about how much AEM how much God loves the converts protects the converts uh warns us about uh not causing sorrow to the converts uh so conversion to Judaism is actually compared to uh Shabbat in how frequent uh it's mentioned in the Torah and how much hem loves it uh it's a it's a conversion is mentioned more than anything else in a Tah in fact some of the uh most extraordinary people that ever uh existed were people that converted to Judaism the most famous convert is uh was the uh father of uh T the wife of mosenu and was a pope and of idolatry all types of idolatry and he came and converted to Judaism in fact his whole story is in the same Torah portion that we received the Torah itself at Mount sa the same Torah portion that we you hear about 10 commandments the whole climatic uh day of of Mount saai that whole thing that is a Torah portion where converts and the Torah portion is called meaning that the most climatic event the most climatic most exciting uh uh uh uh part of the entire is named after a convert named uh later on we also know that um uh uh converted his whole family he went back to midan converted his whole family and his descendants we see them again uh at the book of Yoshua Yeshua Bon that's the uh uh uh the leader that took took uh leadership after mosu Yeshua B in the Book of Joshua uh he uh uh meets these Kim the kinim were the descendants of they were all very righteous people and they became so learned that they became the uh they got R KES they became the leaders they became the great sages of the generation they gotes they were sitting ataz where people would getes the divine inspiration so the descendants of became uh the uh the sages of the Next Generation uh so that's again the descendants of converts um now even or converts themselves later on we see that uh Ruth Ruth uh uh that uh um was the great grandmother of King David she herself was a convert she married BOS uh and uh she herself was a convert and she is the great grandmother of not only King David and King Solomon but she's also the great- grandmother of who's going to be mashiah whoever is going to be hem chooses to be mashiah has to be a descendant not only of King David but also of Ruth uh so that's another extraordinary thing uh even uh more so sorry I dropped something even more so some of the great sages that lived throughout the generations they were the uh head of the S the the the the prince of Israel they were both converts uh RAB AKA his father was a convert was a from converts uh there was uh bugbug hey hey uh these were also T tanas that were also mentioned were uh were converts so you have many many righteous converts that uh lived in fact one of the great converts that I didn't know about until recent years was uh yonah yonah the prophet Jonah uh was actually convert uh he uh he was the kid that uh Elisha AI saved uh that died and he brought him back to life and he became Jonah he became yonah uh and he was a convert uh so uh that's again another extraordinary thing so you have a couple of people mentioned in the Torah that not only a mentioned but there's entire sections of the Torah are named after them y has a book in the Torah you know has a T and as many Ruth has a book in the Torah and so on so converts are beloved by hem in fact shimai says that we have proofs from the Torah that hm loves the converts even more than anybody else more than the righteous people more than theim more than uh the the the people that are born Jewish how do we know this it says that um hashem's uh that the righteous people uh uh love hem righteous people the sikim love hem the Jewish people love hem but it says Hashem loves the G soim says who is greater someone that loves the king or someone that the king loves so from there says we from there learned that hem has a special love for converts has a special love for converts uh that's Superior to uh your natural born Jew so so if that doesn't answer your question if somebody can convert to Judaism nothing else as well point is we have a a whole book that was written a couple years ago by our Rabbi R called This is a that talks about different laws and different details in regards to uh converts uh we're actually uh uh working on getting it uh uh translated to uh uh to English and then other languages but you know it takes time and resources and so on so sh will have it uh out there soon right now it's only available in uh in Hebrew but either way has countless sources about uh uh the uh not only the the um extraordinary uh uh uh levels that converts can reach and have been uh but also answers different uh difficult questions that people have uh asked in the past if let's say for example there is a uh uh people in a community or that are uh you know are ignorant and they are uh either racist or or or simply uh you know not accepting of converts which unfortunately uh happens even though it's uh against the tah it happens so just like there's people that are racist and sexist and and all types of other ists uh there's also people that are against converts uh so what do you do with that you know what if somebody uh you know uh wants to marry somebody but uh they uh you know they uh you know they don't want to tell them that they're a convert uh or the the other hand somebody that uh engaged to another person and uh they find out during the engagement that this person really is a convert and they didn't know are they allowed to break off the engagement all of these questions are answered uh according to the Torah in this count and many many other things uh but uh the point being is that the the extraordinary uh um uh level of of righteous converts again not just anybody that converts righteous converts is uh is unquestionable the rambam about 800 years ago writes a letter to a a convert named ovadya uh where there he tells him that uh the obligation of a Jew is to love a convert uh unlimited just like uh he loves God meaning that every Jew is obligated to love his fellow Jew uh as much as he loves himself but a convert he has to love him even more than himself that's a Torah obligation the Torah obligation how much is more than himself as much as he loves God as much as he loves God so this is what the rambam teaches us already 800 years ago uh and I know some of you probably asking what are these questions that I just mentioned what are the answers if somebody is a uh a convert and uh they don't want to disclose that they're a convert uh and uh they want to get married uh as long as the person they're marrying is not a Cohen because a convert is not allowed to marry a Cohen uh that's a Torah prohibition there's no world that a that a convert is allowed to marry a quen just like a quen is not allowed to marry a Jew that was divorced so it's not just against converts just specifically for the quim they have certain rules so convert is never allowed to marry a Quin uh so if the convert wants to marry somebody else it's a righteous Jew and everything is good but they don't want to tell the other person they don't want to tell this person that they're a convert or they don't want to put it on their kba that they're a convert because the specific Lang that's mentioned on theba for converts um because it'll cause them shame and so on then there some that uh uh say it's it's allowed to not say it uh it's allowed to not say it again as long as they're not marrying a someone that they're you know forbidden to marry uh in regards to somebody that uh is engaged to a woman that converted but he didn't know she converted now the conversion again all the conversions that sores that I'm talking about right now they're all in essence assuming it's all legitimate conversions Orthodox conversions and he's you know engaged to a woman uh and they're engaged to get married she's religious she's religious everything is good but then he finds out that she is a convert and uh uh you know his parents his friends somebody's tell him listen you don't want to marry a convert how do you know maybe they're going to go back to idolatry or so on is he allowed to break the engagement uh and the Pak is actually if he breaks the engagement he's is making multiple sins to the point where hm can take revenge against him why because he's causing sorrow to convert it's not just breaking engagement it's causing sorrow to a convert so in essence he's not allowed to break the engagement uh so you know these these types of questions are uh you know are uh sensitive subjects for some people completely uh irrelevant to other people the point being is is that converts are a very very big deal in Judaism uh they're discussed Often by many different uh but you have to know how to deal with them because you have to know that not everybody that wants to convert to Judaism is legitimately looking for the good you know the right reasons uh not looking for the right reasons so that's another thing to know so you has to know who's a righteous convert who's a wicked one will all the descendants of David also be the descendants of uh Ruth uh technically uh yeah be nice don't be unkind okay uh let's see uh uh let see I have a question okay is that a question how does Jewish law get changed uh Jewish law doesn't get changed we have the original laws uh from the Torah we have rabinal laws uh these rules don't change there are certain exceptions that are made from time to time based on circumstances uh that the uh the the Torah itself empow Ed the leaders of the generation to make certain exceptions either for the sake of saving lives or for the saving of the Tor but uh generally speaking the laws of the tah do not change uh you know there's a there's something called takot but that's that's again like I said it's exceptions that are supposed to be for specific types of times in extraordinary conditions uh okay okay this rabber is an extremist everyone knows that he says horrible things about kabad you know what's interesting about these people from kabad that like to um you know missionized is that they always come to my lectures whether they're online or you know in in person I remember you know we used to have a weekly Shure at least once or twice a week one of these Messianic crazies from kabad would show up to the lecture and try to ruin it try to say all types of things and I just never understood the whole point like you know if you don't like what I have to say the sages that I'm mentioning the books that I'm mentioning uh the Torah that I'm mentioning why do you come like I don't go to kabad lectures I don't go to Manis fredman lectures I don't go to Christian churches I don't okay if you're not interested go to wherever you came from and uh you know go there I I don't understand why is it that the kabad Niks are in essence acting like Christian missionaries where they feel like they need to show face and tell people what they feel like why do you think anyone cares what you think if you don't like it leave just like any other normal person in the beginning of the lecture there was I don't know a couple of hundred people that signed up and then you see the number goes down to 170 then you see it go up to 200 then you see it go down to that means that some people are staying for the for the rest some people are leaving why are they leaving simple they're not interested so once you act like the rest of society that's at least trying to be normal and if you don't like it leave go go to your I don't know wherever ho you came from I just never understood the whole mentality it's such a missionary mentality that you know they say on one hand that I'm the fanatic but yet they feel the need to come and you know interrupt our lectures I just never understood that how am I the fanatic if I you're never going to see me at a kabad house you're never going to see me at a fredman or any other type of idol worshippers uh uh uh lecture you're never going to see me there you're never going to see my students there never it's just never going to happen you're not even going to see us watch it online it's just never going to be but yet we're the ftic somehow even though you're the one that's attacking H how does that work in a crazy mind tell me I'm not crazy so I mean you you're you know you're apparently an expert of being crazy so explain to me how does a crazy mind work because I I I it's just I haven't I haven't learned this yet you know SCH King Solomon it says in the mid King Solomon even knew the Lang of the crazies so unless gives me the the Brilliance of King Solomon I'm never going to understand crazy I'm never going to understand crazy so unless you're going to explain it to me we're going to have to move to the next question uh let's see serious question were uh were're just normal people same rules okay I have no idea what you're saying uh how do Jewish people atone for sins if the wages of sin is death and there is no Temple right now ah okay this is a question that we answered uh I believe last week uh um the the Torah tells us in our in our in the prophets the prophet o that the uh uh the words that are coming out of our mouth are meaning the prayers and the apology is going to be our repentance is going to be our our chuva now sometimes people would think that oh this is a new thing it's not a new thing this is the same thing we did at the time of of the BET mikdash meaning people that are not learned think that you know we Judaism changed somehow where we were every time you made an accidental sin you brought a sacrifice and you were finished and then after the BET mikdash was destroyed all of a sudden prayer started no that's not the case the truth is if you actually read the books you'll see that the biggest part of the actual sacrifices was not the sacrifice the biggest part of the sacrifice was the prayer that took place during and before the sacrifice meaning that the prayers we have of of chuva of repenting of of of getting of yearning for God and everything that was a foundation of Judaism since the beginning since AB yob since the very very beginning when they would bring sacrifices at the time of the bet mikdash anytime somebody brought a sacrifice they would pray so after the BET mikdash was destroyed the only thing that stopped was not our process of repenting just part of it was no longer possible we're not able to bring sacrifices anymore but the prayer that we had back then is the same thing that we have today so that part never changed that part we still have so that way we can still do Chua not just from prayers but also from changing our actions uh let's see what if you wish to uh convert what do you do what's the next step uh the next step is you have to uh move to a Jewish community that has an orthodox Rabbi that is willing to sponsor you uh perhaps even teach you or you have to obviously learn uh a lot of it on your own you know there's many lectures online books that you have to get if you want to uh uh you know learn more about conversion you could send us an email uh and will send you what's called a syllabus that gives you the uh uh basics of what you need to know in order to convert and there some lectures that I have about conversion you can watch the lectures get yourself some of those books and then start doing what it says to move to the Jewish community and start practicing uh and then eventually you'll convert it's a process it takes time it's not uh like Islam and Christianity that all you got to do is sneeze practically and they turn you into one of them Judaism uh you're only accepted into being a convert after they have Assurance from your actions and and uh knowledge that you actually are going to be a righteous convert you you know you know so it's not like Christianity uh where pretty much they you just you say you want to convert you want to believe in some Idol they just take some bathroom water and throw it in your face doesn't work like that uh in Judaism nobody nobody can nobody is turning you into a Jew by taking uh bathroom water on you and turning you into a Jew that's never going to happen same thing with a uh Islam that uh anybody who can convert just by bowing and doesn't work like that in order to be a Jew you have to learn how to be a Jew you have to uh uh uh practice live among Jews and after uh you do that for a little while and they see that uh you know someone can vouch for you that really you are uh uh serious then the the bed will convert you uh no problem as far as uh the cost as far you know the syllabus that I can give you is free we don't charge for it the the bedin which eventually you'll have to meet uh uh you know there's ones in New York in Israel in uh Los Angeles there bin in different parts of the world uh they charge each one of them charges different prices some of them charge uh you know $1,000 some charge more some charge less you know they uh that's that's their business uh but uh as far as uh uh you know the process of conversion is very very different in Judaism than it is for the other religions because again it's uh important for us to make sure that whoever converts to Judaism uh we're taking a responsibility that they're going to be able to follow the law because if they are not serious or they're not really capable uh of doing it then it's better for you not to convert and just simply be a righteous nohide uh you know because you know if you're going to follow the Torah uh for for a short period of time then change all you're doing is bringing suffering on your life there's no point uh let's see meaning of a dream before you wake up of doing chuva in front of ocean huh meaning of a dream before you wake up doing CH in front of an ocean the uh says that most dreams are a figment of our imagination as a result of things we saw in our life now there are certain dreams that can have more significant meanings uh sometimes it's a dream that you dreamed uh multiple times uh in a row meaning two nights in a row uh or dreams where you saw specific people or you heard specific statements or saw specific animals there's different meanings but generally speaking most dreams are meaningless I don't remember uh there being a direct interpretation in the about a dream where you wake up in front of an ocean uh but as far as doing chuva that's certainly a good sign that's certainly a good uh a good uh indication that for a person that's doing Chua in their dream sure uh let's see just wondering ju change uh no hey just wondering can Jews charge other Jews interest on loans very good question uh so the Torah forbids Jewish people from charging interest uh on loans they give to other Jews that are part of our nation what does that mean part of our nation that means other Jews that are are observant of the Torah meaning one Jew that has that you know is is wants to you know uh uh lend money to another Jew well one Jew wants to borrow money from another Jew if the uh uh the one that's borrowing the money is Torah observant meaning he he keeps Shabbat he keeps kosher he's uh he's not a heretic or something like that he's not an idol worshipper then it's forbidden for the other Jew to charge him interest if he charges him interest they both get punished and anyone that brokered the deal will get punished uh they losea they they they have a uh a very very serious problem an eternal problem uh it's forbidden for one Jew to charge interest of another Jew if the are Torah observant if he is not Torah observant not the uh uh uh the lender the the borrower if the borrower is not Torah observ it meaning he desecrates Shabbat he drives on Shabbat he works on Shabbat he eats uh non koser food regularly uh you know somebody that's not a religious Jew then you are allowed to charge him interest but that doesn't mean that you allowed to rip him off uh just like it uh you're not allowed to rip off non-jews people think that there's a free and clear permission for Jews to charge non-jews uh any interest that they want this is a mistake one of the biggest mistakes they'll ever going to make because it's forbidden to steal uh uh from non-jew even more than it's than than Jews and overcharging non-jews is considered stealing uh if you're overcharging somebody you're you're charging them what's called or all types of high interest uh this is a Torah prohibition even more than it is from you to steal from another Jew uh so uh there's a lot of people don't realize this and unfortunately a lot of people bringing uh uh hell upon thems uh as a result of it uh and upon upon the people because there's a mistake uh in uh some people's understanding of things and they think that if the person is not Jewish you could simply charge him whatever you want this is absolutely false there's actually a new book that Robert FR uh published uh I don't know maybe about six months ago a year ago where he actually addressed this particular question uh relevant to the uh vile horrific predatory business called merchant cash advance uh where uh unfortunately people that are in the business charge their customers predatory interest High interest uh and uh you know and unfortunately there are many Jews in that business and uh they justify their High interest because their customers are non-jews and this is a mistake it's actually uh a mistake of all mistakes and uh but we're going to actually have a English version of this book uh or at least this part of the book uh come out soonm uh to show people that it's not only forbidden it's considered a uh one of the worst things you could possibly do uh one of the worst things you could possibly do so charging interest to a uh religious Jew forbidden charging interest to a uh um a uh secular Jew or a non-jew uh is not open and clear to do whatever you want uh even if someone wants to rely on the permission to charge interest to a secular Jew or a non-jew it's only under a couple of conditions uh one of them being that it has to be no more than Market rates which is not merchant cash advanc rates we're talking about you know Market rates like a bank regular Bank four 5 6% 10% whatever it is uh normal rates that they can get anyone it cannot be a predatory rate also it cannot be something that will make you rich uh and uh the only people that are allowed to make Rich are if you're a Torah scholar uh and you're not working anywhere else uh and this is your living uh but uh anyone else that's uh that's in the business of uh lending uh you're only allowed if you're a Jew you're only allowed to be in the business of lending if it is just enough to make a living nothing more meaning just enough to pay your rent just enough to eat that's it the rest of it you have to do something else you can't become rich off of this business which is obviously the opposite of why people even go into the business they go into the business of lending to become rich this is a mistake it's against the Torah and anyone that's in it will get punished severely uh by The One and Only God uh so it's a uh this is a uh a fact according to the Torah now uh a person that doesn't know this uh and claims that they didn't know and therefore God will forgive them simply does not understand that God does not forgive ignorance it's not God's fault that you are ignorant it's your fault you're ignorant so ignorance is a choice a person that wants to be ignorant simply stays ignorant a person that wants to educate themselves will educate themselves just like a person educates themselves about how to make a living how to do anything that they want to do in life they educate themselves whether it's a profession or it's a specific field they uh they have to educate themselves about Jewish law uh let's see uh was do you support Israel do I support Israel now I think that there are very few people people uh that support Israel as much as what we do why because uh everything we do is to help is number one we teach Torah for free why why do you teach to for free usually people teach or do whatever they do in order to make a living in order to make money none of you paid me a penny or will pay me a penny anytime soon I don't charge any you anything uh and I teach it for the sake of people getting closer to God so uh and it's not just isra it's a also non-jews but the point is that a uh I the primary target and focus is to help Jews get closer to God help Jews become more Jewish and that whether that Jew lives in Israel or lives in a different country doesn't make a difference to me uh wherever they are if they're willing to learn I'm willing to teach so that's one uh usually teachers like uh the people that uh we go against like the manises and the other Heretics they don't teach for free they teach for a fee why because they care less about the Jewish people or anybody they care about money money is their God so that's one way that we support Israel number two uh if anyone that follows our organization knows that we have a uh students uh in is Israel that are uh Torah Scholars that we pay them to study Torah every single month we pay them salaries uh at our uh this is in order to help them learn tah and teach T so these are you know wonderful people that many of them you know were financially struggling and we took them in and they study with us that's number two number three one thing that I know is a uh um you know people that follow us know this already uh that I don't see many famous speakers do at all needless to say as much uh as what we do at our organization is that we send money to help poor Jewish people in Israel on a regular basis not once in a blue moon not once a year not once every several years and we send on a regular basis every single month we send money to help poor Jewish people and during the holidays we have big campaigns we send a lot more money and even more so unlike even if you do find a few organizations or rabbis that deal with helping uh uh people that live in Israel poor people that live in Israel uh usually there is a commission there's a benefit there's a financial benefit that people get out of doing it meaning let's say they raise $100,000 out of the 100,000 you know maybe 60,000 50,000 70,000 will go to the cause and the rest of it will go to line people's pockets at our organization one thing that I know for sure and many many big rabbis and and people that are know the ins and outs of our organization have told me this themselves they've never seen anything like it which is an organization that not only gives what other people donates but actually gives more than what people donate meaning we have a campaign for that we raised 100,000 we give 110 120 150 200,000 300,000 we give more than what people send us not less we don't take anything for ourselves so it's a uh uh if you see some of the enemies that people uh uh uh uh you know like to call us Fanatics and call us bad people you know they they like this clown today from the missionary Camp of kabad and uh and Manis fredman uh when was the last campaign that Manis fredman helped any poor people once show me one time that he did it one time not not five times or 10 times or 100 times one time that he helped anybody but himself helped anybody but his his his family get rich there's not a single campaign not a single dollar goes to the poor not a single dollar goes to anybody by himself even to meet the guy he charges you $400 or $600 an hour so it's a uh when you care about the uh the Torah and you care about the truth of the Torah by default that means you care about the Jewish people by default you care about the Jewish people you don't need anybody to remind you to care about the Jewish people but when you don't care about the Torah then by default you also don't care about the Jewish people and you don't care about anything else but yourself so that's in essence another way to uh to see the measuring stick the measuring Stick of Truth uh at actual uh you know in in real life in real life uh the earliest Jewish people liter said to a converts yeah well all of the Jewish people that went to mount sa were not Jews before they became Jews we were all called Hebrew and then in Mount Si we became Jews uh let's see why does it say that Christians may be beheaded on the most solemn festivals uh it doesn't say that Christians may be beheaded on the most solemn festivals uh it uh says that if a person is an idol worshipper at the time of the sunin and they saw him practicing idolatry uh he if he was Jewish he would get uh he would get death penalty uh now if he was practicing idolatry of Christianity or idolatry of something else it would still be be a death penalty in fact it's mentioned even in the five books of Moses uh that someone that practices idolatry gets a death penalty just like someone that desecrates Shabbat or or blasphemes hasem gets a death penalty uh now today and for the last couple of thousand years we do not have a sadin uh so uh no one is getting the death penalty by the uh the Jewish people uh today but God still punishes God still punishes people at different times in his own ways uh so if you saw somebody die in unusual death they got hit by a truck they uh the plane crashed disease things like that these are different types of death penalties uh that God uh implements into the world uh for specific sins uh the thear mentions it in multiple places and the uh also both the B the Yi so the death penalties are still active but only by the hand of God the Jewish people do not kill anybody today uh you know so that's that's a uh um yeah a reality do you have to learn Hebrew in order to convert no no Hebrew takes a long time you need to learn Torah in order to convert the laws of the Torah uh see level definitely no [Music] why do Jewish people believe God Can Make Mistakes isn't God supposed to be a Jewish people don't believe that you believe that maybe or Heretics believe that God is perfect that's what what the lecture was about today how God is perfect he doesn't make mistakes uh if you love as you wanted to put hatred upon I have no idea what you're saying okay let's see let's go to uh some of my friends on Facebook let's see what they're saying uh let's see I know you thought you I know you taught us that a younger woman should not visit a cemetery even for a close relative who passed away how about the graves of the sikim to pray for your for salvation uh also can my older female relatives whom are over childbearing visit uh how about men okay to go to the grave sites of tadim uh usually the grave sites of tadim have specific uh paths and and places so there is a uh you know it's it's it's you know you could if a woman wants to go to the Grave side of she can uh she has to be very very careful and it's there are some that say that even that you shouldn't do um now as far as age uh it doesn't matter what age whether she's young or old it doesn't make a difference a woman should not go to a grave site at all um because it's not just that thing that I mentioned it's other things it's not a good thing for a woman to go to grave site she wants to go she can go but uh as far as you asking what have said about it they said not to go uh as far as for men to go to a grave site again if you're going to bury somebody uh or you're going to a righteous person's grave yes you know there's obviously that has to happen uh but to just go and sit by uh uh some uh some person that died 10 20 years ago and sit by them you know unless they're a very righteous person I don't see a reason of why a person would ever do that to themselves uh it's it's it's not uh uh you know it's not something that but if you want to do it you can if it's a got yet again uh okay can I give no you can't give it that to n no uh your Jewish intimacy series is exceptional just like all your other awesome shim How about if a couple may require IVF to get pregnant can the couple just pray to have healthy sadikin children uh yes but uh you know before you go to get IVF I would uh uh recommend that you speak to a uh and make sure that this is really what you need uh but yeah you can get IVF is certainly something that many people use uh you could still pray for righteous kids absolutely that doesn't uh contradict if a person isn't arrogant but has other issues with finding and making themselves a rabbi uh does God still hate them uh there's no way that a person that is a lover of God and is making God a priority cannot find a rabbi uh without arrogance getting in the way it's that's not possible if they don't have a rabbi uh for a short period of time of their life you know a few months or you know it's fine but to not have a rabbi their entire life no that's not possible uh should do have to make themselves a rabbi and is that really possible considering the Jews obligation first now Gentiles do not have to make themselves a rabbi and uh quite frankly it's going to be very very difficult for a gentile to get a rabbi to really be their Rabbi all the time uh because like you said the responsibility that he has for the Jews now there are uh rabbis uh that help Gentiles but uh uh you know answer questions and things like that I do you know quite a bit myself but uh you know as far as uh um you know for for for a person to to to think that if the rabbi uh you know has only uh five minutes and uh you know and he's going to have to dedicate it to one student and he has a Jew and a gentile yeah the Gentile has to understand that the Jew is a priority uh the Jewish priority now that this type of uh logic and law uh is unacceptable to most people why because they figured listen if I donate or if I'm nice or if I'm receptive then the rabbi should treat me equally people want equality but uh equality is against the tah equality is against the toah there's no such thing as equality according to everybody has their role in life everybody has their position in life people that want equality are anti is there any way to cure anxiety related disorder through Torah observance and how yes there is a whole series called that we made 16 lectures that talks about I would recommend you watch that and then watch uh the first 20 or so lectures of the uh Jewish ideology series Jewish ashfa series it's called by the kazun uh the first 20 lectures talk about if you watch those 35 or 40 lectures by then uh your anxiety should be cured or you are simply uh not listening because there's all the answers you could possibly want uh are there among the Jew hating groups there seems to be a lot of irrational hate focused on the tribe of Dan uh especially is there any reason for this that you're aware of is there any tun for the tribe of Dan that causes them to be so falsely accused and hated by these confused and wicked people uh to be honest with you I've never heard of any specific type of hate on the tribe of dun I believe the tribe of dun is uh the Ethiopians so it could be that simply people are racist idiots and they you know they don't like people because of their skin complexion uh but stupidity uh is one of those things where uh even the scientist uh Einstein knew there's no limit to it so you know if a person wants to surround themselves with a um with uh uh righteous people then uh they'll surround themselves with righteous people that are righteous according to the tah if a person wants to surround themselves by just a uh you know people that are uh you know uh not according to the tah then unfortunately they're also subjecting themselves to Wicked type of behavior like that laws of T and read book read the says in the person that waste time is going to be eat they're going to feed them uh coals that never go never go off never never burn out uh so yeah you shouldn't uh you shouldn't waste time RAB does the law for G not to marry Coen appli to a for a bohen you mean if a a daughter of a Cohen is allowed to marry a convert daughter of aen is allowed but she shouldn't marry anyone that's not a the speaks very uh very much against a daughter of a quen marrying anybody but a uh there's a very big Heavenly rebuke on the father and on her for marrying someone that's not a does the same apply to one who is in the process of converting to love the convert no no there's no obligation to love a gentile that's in the process of converting it's a uh it's a Mitzvah to help them convert if you can help them with it's guiding them or answering questions but there's no obligation to uh love love somebody that's in the process of converting because they could change their mind uh they could change their mind they could uh turn even against the Tah so there's no obligation to love them no until a person converts he's not Jewish it's not just even though if he wants to do it and he's a really nice person and he's already doing it for 20 years and he's donated a zillion dollars until he is converted he's considered not Jewish and therefore there's a different set of laws doesn't mean you hate them or disrespect them it just means that you don't have an obligation to love them like you love a convert a convert is someone that already converted uh a a legitimate convert or Ox conversion and uh you know then you the responsibility is is on the entire people not just uh the person that helped them the entire world is responsible for it uh is it okay to listen to music as long as we're we don't dance or no music at all during the first 33 days uh generally speaking most posim are uh say that you're not allowed to listen to music uh some are lenient uh in regards to music during the 33 days if it is uh uh not live music Or Not instrumental music uh but generally most are even saying that's not allowed but the one thing that everybody is uh more or less lenient about is if it's for kids uh meaning if you're you know kids are listening to it or it's part of a uh uh I don't know a show or something and really you're not listening or watching the show or whatever it is for the sake of the music is just part of it that's okay but uh if it's say just listening to some song uh then it's it can be problematic uh what happens to Muslims Ina uh G uh if again if they are typical Muslim is against tah against uh against God against the Jewish people now there are some people that are decent so but I'm assuming you're talking about the ones that are the ones that believe that uh you know in the uh teachings of uh you know that the Muslims should kill Jews and uh they find you know the rock tells the Muslim to come and see the Jew that's hiding behind it and come kill him and all the stupid things that it says in their uh in their teachings doctors using my rhey sick ant as a guinea pig to test new medication since they don't know anymore what to do with her non-stop pain that she's been struggling with for over 30 years I was told yesterday that she saw me while hallucinating out of pain is is a hint that I should do something about it considering that she die she die hard Christian no I mean just because a Die Hard Christian is doesn't mean you have to uh uh ignore her uh if you can help help uh if you can't help you can't help I know I mean it's again it's help is a big word help is a big word I mean it all depends if you could do something about it do something about it but if there's nothing for you to do there's nothing for you to do I mean I wouldn't tell you to go through medical school and become uh you know a uh a doctor just for the sake of uh helping your uh your aunt or your friend or whoever it is I mean say if you could help help if you can't help can't help oh okay let's see let God bless you rabie you're doing A's work thank you uh what are they Co mention six have no idea what you're saying [Music] what are your opinions of he on the foot ideology I have no idea oh what's on your oh okay he LS on the foot ideology okay this is a in uh there's a gentile that comes to shamay and says uh convert Me by teaching me the Torah on a single foot Shai pushes him away and says the guy's not serious so the guy goes to h h says uh he goes to h he says convert me of teaching me to the tah on one foot and he says to him uh don't do unto others what you don't want done to yourself uh you know so and then he converts the guy shortly after if he teaches him some big MIT so many people think that that's the only law of the Tah that's the only law of the tah you know to uh uh now what they don't realize that when um when he let us saying to uh uh to uh care about your friend he's referring to God he's referring to God and he's in ESS saying uh don't do something to God what you wouldn't done to yourself meaning don't ignore God if you don't want him to ignore you uh don't go against God if you don't want him to go against you so in so many words if a person listens to God he's going to listen to the Torah and therefore he's going to be a righteous person the rest of it is the details so that's in essence what the one foot actually means many people that uh you know are unlearned think that you could just be nice to people and therefore God likes you but but it doesn't work that way it doesn't work that way it's not uh if you're not nice to God then you're not nice to uh uh to anybody uh let's see I think it it uh it's a tree not a stone no no it's two it's two things there's a tree and there's a stone there's two different things in the Quran talk about that okay guys I think that's about it I think I answered all the questions uh yeah I also have another another it's been three hours oh it's been
