is
we're back here in aventur at during our
weekly sh in our series
of the era of
mashia based on a seph by
Shalom uh it's a um extraordinary series
I know I'm getting a lot of kuk out of
it a lot of uh uh good things are uh
being shared around the world with this
uh series and uh the key for us to uh
maintain it you know not just to learn
at one time but M to uh to maintain the
and uh this is actually one of the
things that I spoke to with my R today
is that it's a uh our generation is is
such that uh if you don't constantly
repeat over and over the things it's a
the works very hard to make that we
forget the that we got just a week ago
uh also um it's very very special day we
have
a a beautiful celebration that bless is
completing this is a in the Torah world
is called a
small and the reason why is because
aside from the fact that Shabbat is a
very big almost 160 and it's not an easy
either uh but most people when they
learn the in the beginning you know you
start with the
small uh and uh you know and then they
start going into bigger ones but once
people get to M Shabbat it's such a huge
undertaking that many people give up
many people give up the and they just go
into easier learning so when somebody
completes
it's a very good indication that they'll
also complete the rest of the many many
times
so we'll talk a little bit more about t
and a uh why it's important to
celebrate uh every single time you
complete a every single time you learn
something uh you know especially tonight
is
Tu uh which is a we'll discuss briefly
as well so tonight sh will be
for for ran Leana SAR raban Sarah an ran
umamit
Bina ra epim Ben shulamit raim Victorio
Ben David Ben B Stefan Ben Karina
benah
tal m
s
and
Mercedes
also um
forat Ben
Adina uh and also for for
Abraham sha Ben faran oshri Ben Doris
Gabi Ben Doris elad Ben Doris David
benri and all
of especially the ones that are
continuously investing into to the best
of their abilities you know when people
think that when we bless people to have
because they donate their time their
money to they think I'm just talking
about the rich ones that donate a th000
or 3,000 it's completely wrong we bless
every single one but even more so the
ones that are doing their best you know
for some people their best is to donate
$1,000 a month for some people their
best is $50 because that's their living
for some people their best uh is is much
more but they don't do it they have the
ability to donate 50,000 a month but
they donate
$25 so the key is the blessing that
comes from Hashem is based on our
efforts you know and uh and and it's
it's very very important for a person to
know
that that's how we're going to be judged
we're not going to be judged for not
being millionaires because that's in the
hands of Hashem we're going to be judged
with how did we utilize the tools that
gave us he gave us some tools how did
you use them and uh if people simply
knew this principle they would uh
evaluate their actions much more
carefully uh because again we see we
have a certain certain amount of tools
every one of us has a certain Talent a
certain amount of money a certain amount
of time and so on and so forth and uh
we're constantly looking at everybody
else you know oh you know he has a
better job than me that's why he has
this he's better looking she's better
this no no don't look at anybody look at
you and make your decisions based on you
because that's what you're going to be
judged on you're not going to be judged
in sh of why you weren't mhu because
you're not
mosu one of the of the
was one day caught by one of his
students crying and said why you crying
he says because I'm afraid when I go up
to meet my Creator he's going to ask me
some questions I don't know how to
answer he
say you you're scared of meeting
a he says no no says he's not going to
ask me in sh why it wasn't mhu he's not
going to ask me in sh why it wasn't RAB
AKA he's going to ask me zusa zusa how
come you w in zusa how come you are in
the full potential of zusa that I gave
you that's what he's going to ask me and
that question I don't have an answer
to question is are we being the best
version of ourselves and that's that's
that's how we're
evaluated you see in today's world the
the Torah unfortunately is not
appreciated to say the
least uh by most people uh because we
View
other wisdoms in the secular world as a
comparable and really the only time that
you're going to see somebody evaluate
the Torah the way it's supposed to be is
if they delve into Torah thems if they
study Torah if they toil over Torah if
they support Torah in every way that
they can that's when they appreciate
Torah and they understand its value at
least to the best of their ability what
what about the rest of us the rest of
the people that are not evaluating to
other the right
way uh where we think that uh you know
maybe uh some Guru from India that has
some uh skid marks on his forehead maybe
he has some words of wisdom for me maybe
this uh Ted Talk has some wisdom for me
especially the two females that recently
said that uh you know there's now
several uh preferences in the uh sexual
life there's the homosexual there's the
heterosexual and there's the pedophile
it's a it's a new thing meaning you
should just accept the fact that people
are pedophiles that's their preference a
TED Talk a TED Talk they were given the
stage two different women two different
idiots were given a front stage to tell
people that
pedophilia it's a
preference most of us feel discomfort
when we think about
pedophiles but just like
pedophiles we are not responsible for
our
feelings we do not choose
them but we are responsible for our
actions and we must make a
decision it is in our responsibility to
reflect and to overcome our negative
feelings about pedophiles and to treat
them with the same respect we treat
other people
with we should accept that
pedophiles are people who have not
chosen their sexuality and who unlike
most of us will never be able to live it
out freely if they want to lead an
upright life we should accept that
pedopilia is a sexual
preference statistics indicate that
there will be one or two of you who are
struggling with some form of pedophilic
Interest these people can't talk about
their feelings because they know that
they will be hated for
it I truly do believe that every person
is longing for Love at some point in
their life and what if this love that
you really wish for will forever be
impossible that must be a really lonely
situation to be
in yes from an emotional point of view I
can kind of understand that you want to
would want to eliminate these people
from
society however it doesn't make make
sense and that's because we're talking
about biology we're talking about a
sexual
orientation something that we simply
cannot
change and on top of that every day new
people are born with the same
difficulty so it's not practical to
eliminate these people from society they
haven't done anything wrong it's like
the fools that say no I was born gay I
was born gay no you were born a human
you just act like an animal because you
don't want to restrain
yourself and that's the problem when we
view the foreign wisdoms as if they're
equivalent to the Torah
we simply are not only disrespecting the
Torah but we're guaranteed to fall prey
to these fools and to think that they
maybe have something good to see that I
can learn from but the truth be told is
that everything that's of any value is
inside
and in today's world very few truly
understand it and the reason why is
because you cannot arrive at that
conclusion without toiling in Torah
without going and breaking your head to
go learn when you're tired to go learn
when you don't have time to go learn
when you're struggling with a million
and a half different things to go learn
when it's difficult in every other
aspect because everyone thinks no no I'm
going to learn when I have a get when I
get a
chance but never puts the two and two
together where to learn some Ted Talk on
the internet for 40 minutes I always
have time somehow to go learn some uh
scientific video that's really
unverified especially some of the
strange things they say about how the
world was created I always have time to
do that I always have time to go watch
watch videos about ducks crossing the
road and maybe a few Penguins too I
always find time for that but anytime
that I want to learn T suddenly things
happen suddenly I'm tired suddenly my
wife needs my attention suddenly my kids
are crying suddenly my back hurts
suddenly this suddenly that people don't
put that two and two together the reason
why to to study the foreign
wisdoms although some do have a value
although some do have some some good in
them yet helps you so he's not going to
disturb you what do you want to go study
science you want to go watch Ducks you
want to go dissect a cow or maybe a frog
together go I'll help you I'll make time
all of a sudden no one's going to call
you for three hours straight what you
want to watch a marathon of uh Netflix
shows that are going to bring you g
tomorrow okay you go we're going to give
you 12 hours in a row no one's going to
call you no one's going to talk to you
and everything's going to work perfect
while you're watching every show one
after another wasting your
life but the set can you press play
for that could change your life for the
next hour and a half or two suddenly the
whole world collapses all of a sudden
the phone rings everyone wants your
attention everything why the doesn't
want you to learn to
him someone once asked
me
a
question and he said I have a tough time
going to sleep and because of that I
don't waake wake up in the morning to go
pray on time you know I go pray so what
time you wake up so I wake up like 11:
11:30 I said okay so there's a mish
about you it says that someone that uh
sleeps like that is guaranteed to go to
G so I need a solution I'm not ask you I
know you scared me already
enough point is how do I deal with it I
can't go to sleep at night ah I said you
want a solution okay I said get an alarm
he I have an alarm I said ask somebody
to wake you up he goes n everybody's
already out of the
house I said so you really looking for
the best solution in the world
guaranteed to work he said yeah I said
you want to go to sleep what time you
want to go to sleep he said I want to go
to sleep 10:00 I said okay 10:00 on the
dot
open open you'll see your sleep like a
baby at
10:01 101 your sleep with a baby cu it's
boring but rather because the Satan
rather you go to sleep he only want you
to stay awake when you're not learning
to you're not learning to stay awake
till 6 o'clock in the morning without
being tired you're watching Ducks you're
playing video games Sho what else you're
watching out there at those times of the
Night Never tired but to learn to no no
tired tired open Watch you're sleeping
like a little baby you're sleeping like
a little baby a minute later why cuz the
knows that's the potion that's going to
destroy him and if we take that into
account and we start realizing all of
the supernatural things that are
happening to us on a day-to-day basis as
a result of the Torah you simply realize
there's just simp no way no way to
compare secular wisdom to the
Torah dealt with one of the most
difficult things that the Jewish people
have ever dealt with throughout all of
their history which is that although in
the last
3,332 years since Mount saai there has
never been a year without difficulty for
the nation there's always been
difficulty people trying to kill us
people you know losing their mind in
different ways always something we had
the Assyrians we had the Persians we had
the Babylonians we had the Romans and
the Greeks and the Turks and Spaniard
and the Nazis and all of these Egyptians
all of these different giant
civilizations constantly wanted to
destroy us so there's never really been
some true freedom for us to have like a
piece of mind I could just relax on on
my couch never as a nation we've always
had issues but
yet what happened over the last couple
of hundred years is surely one of the
most difficult things that that ever
faced the Jewish people and all started
with the masim what they call in English
the
enlighteners these
peopleim were not
atheists these people were not people
that were had websites against the Torah
and uh no these
people especially one of the main
pillars of them
mosimo was a from
Jew he was a religious
Jew a religious Jew that knew
tah but he had a
new that he wanted to bring to
is be a Jew at home and a regular person
outside leave your Judaism home now this
may not sound like such a big deal but
that is what started the reform Reform
movement which later on became also the
conservative movement which today we
know as reform conservative open
Orthodoxy modern Orthodoxy pretty much
everything except authentic Judaism
authentic Orthodox
Judaism all started with a simple
statement of be a Jew at home
and a regular person outside why is it
such a big deal why can't I just be like
everybody else outside and in my
religiosity my
my all of the different religious things
that I do why can't I just keep them
private you see when a person wants to
keep his Judaism private when he's
afraid to wear a keep when she's afraid
to wear
a that's a desecration of the Torah why
you're embarrassed of hasem
that means you don't understand the
value of what you have you're
embarrassed of the king of kings now
imagine you have a little kid now this
kid is not easy to raise why he wants to
eat every few minutes and when he's not
eating he wants to play and be between
playing and eating he also has to
relieve himself of the things he
ate and if that's not enough he wants
some attention and if that's not enough
he cost a lot of money if that's not
enough he can't help himself yeah you
have to change him you have to feed him
you have to play with him he can't he's
not
self-sufficient and if that's not enough
he doesn't like to sleep either he wants
to wake up at 2:00 in the morning 2:30
2:45 3:15 350 360 all types of times
whenever he feels like it what about
your schedule that you have to wake up
the next day in the morning doesn't
really make a difference he's just
simply going to cry until you get out of
the bed and take care of whatever need
he has even if it's simply getting his
little Binky and put it in his
mouth it's fine thanks you don't even
get that yet now this kid you're going
to kill yourself with this kid because
you love this kid and you're investing
so much in this kid and he's going to
grow up and he's going to be grow more
expensive because there's new toys and
new clothes and new this and new that
and there's just more stuff and but he's
cute thank God Hashem made them
cute now as you keep growing with this
cute little kid and he starts asking you
questions and some of them make you feel
uncomfortable like ABA how come you're
doing this and you never thought he saw
you say that and all of a sudden one of
the words that you said when you were
mad he all of a sudden used it as his
daily
vocabulary you only used the one time
because you got really upset cuz
somebody ripped you off but he's using
it like it's bambba like he doesn't
realize that it's not bambba and all of
a sudden this little kid is mimicking
you at the most embarrassing moments
especially when you have guests a
said how come are these the you were
talking about that don't wear any
[Applause]
clothes ABA who are these go who are
these go ABA no they're not go they're
not go they're Jewish people but you
said people that don't have cloes
they embarrassing moments in this kid
you have to explain so you want to bury
yourself now what do you you love the
kid so you keep helping and helping
doing disciplining right not the least
you expect this kid to just be grateful
to be a good kid go to school do his
homework say thank you yeah what do you
expect now imagine you invested
everything you have now the expenses
continue to grow you say you know what
I'm going to go borrow money pay
interest to some
bank and to make sure this kid has the
best education has the healthiest food
has the best community to live in I'm
going to do everything possible to get
this kid to have a better life than I
did and you go borrow money to just get
this kid to sleep and to eat and to
bathe and everything at the best
possible way and you're doing it day and
night and you're not stopping and you're
not sleeping and sometimes you work a
second or a third shift just to make
sure you could pay this loan and you
keep going and he's 12 and he's 13 and

tell people you go into a to go learn
something about ABA it happens every
single day when people are embarrassed
of their Judaism in front of their
friends the same ABA that's been toiling
and working what to give you life
literally every single day we're
embarrassed to them sometimes how could
it be how could we be such rotten kids
sometimes how can we be so
ungrateful that really we just became
disgusted of
ourselves if we were vomit we would
throw ourselves out how come how could
we do such a thing it all begins with
our
education the
education that a person is given in his
life is going to tell him how to think
and what to think what to respect what
to
value now when someone views the tah as
the ultimate word of
aad their personality changes their
mindset changes their overall Focus
purpose everything change whereas if
somebody says listen this Torah stuff
yeah yeah I'm not disrespecting it but
do me a favor keep it home
when you're with us you be like us you
on a skateboard maybe a little nice
tattoo over here a little earring maybe
a nose ring if you want if you want to
be really cool put one over here here
here and connect all of them maybe
connect the
dots you know do be like us you don't
want to do that okay you know what
aspire to be a doctor a lawyer a uh
somebody that's uh you know a
intellectual maybe one day you'll you'll
be uh privileged enough to have you know
a uh uh someone on the same St stage
with you on a TED Talk maybe they're
also going to talk about making a uh you
know making a pedophilia as a as a
normal thing maybe you'll have the
privilege of being friends with
them this is when a person admires the
secular world it's only one two three
steps away from that type of mentality
the Lefty liberal mentality that we have
ruining the world is not something that
was just born today this started a few
hundred years ago it started a few years
ago when people started treating the
Torah as something that is not the word
of Hashem and the only thing that
matters but rather it's another
subject it's something to know it's
something interesting it's
intellectually
stimulating but needless to
say it's flawed according to them it's
not perfect according to them there are
other things comparable to it according
to
them how do we
know look at the decisions we've
made starts off the next
section of discussing the Shepherds the
Shepherds being the teachers the rabbis
the leaders of the generation before
mashia which he says according to the
prophet and countless other sources that
he's already brought us in the last
several weeks the shepherds are the sole
reason why is has not done chv yet why
because if we had the right
teaching the right teaching breeds the
right
students even if some students will
choose otherwise overall the right
teaching will breed more good than bad
but if the teaching is run if the
foundation is run what do you
expect so he says that the fault of the
the uh the generation being so lowly the
generation being Lefty and liberal the
generation disrespecting the tah the
generation viewing the toah in such a
way that it's a sin to even say so
starts with the
Shepherds but the shepherds are not only
the
obvious being the rabbis the obvious
being the politicians and the other
types of leaders the
shepherds are sometimes us meaning the
parents if you're not lucky enough to be
a parent yet you will
be and then you could join us and
potentially being a
criminal of being part of the Shepherds
if you don't act according to the Torah
how can you become a criminal let's
see starts off with a verse
from last week's chter 6 verse number
seven and thou shalt teach them
diligently unto thy children
this is the Torah obligation to teach
your children Torah not a suggestion but
rather an obligation as one of the in
the Tor where if you do not teach your
children T if you not make sure that
they get the right Torah education a
kosha Torah education a Torah education
that is valid a Torah education that's
in accordance with mosenu a Torah
education
that you could apply to real life don't
worry about
that it's no different than eating pig
only difference is when you eat pig it's
one sin and then it goes
away but when you don't teach your kids
toah it's one sin and it never goes away
because it breeds a lifelong of
sins your kid ismo their kids their
choices and could literally bring
generation after generation of
Sinners and all of those sin all of
those sins a parent that sends their
children to a public
school a parent that sends their kids to
a place full of green to a place that
teaches things that are against the
Torah even if it's full of Jews like
they call a m school or these these are
Jewish schools not Yeshiva what does it
mean Jewish school well we teach secular
studies for 7even hours and then we tell
them something about the par for like 20
minutes a half hour a day that's what we
call a Jewish school there's nothing
Jewish about
it you send your kid to such a school or
better yet to a public school in America
or any one of these other countries or a
public school in Israel secular studies
all day and T studies all day where they
recently added to the curriculum in the
secular schools in
Israel anyone that wants to learn T can
watch this show and you can learn the
biblical stories of Moshe Aon David schl
oh what show is this it's a comedy show
AEM is that makes fun of the Torah in
every way shape and form that's what
they're telling the little kids that's
where you go learn toah from a show that
has
mosenu impersonated by some idiot that
takes
the The Ten Commandments and smashes it
over some woman's
head a show that
has that saved am
is send off his wife EST as a prostitute
to go make some money that's why they're
sending their Jewish kids to go learn
toah so it's not just being surrounded
by gu meaning Gentiles gu meaning the
mentality or better yet if the school is
one of these so-called religious schools
where it has it's religious but just a
name in theory it's religious why
because it violates as soon as you enter
how it has boys and girls in the same
exact building sharing classes this is
forbidden according to the tah boys and
girls are not allowed to study together
why do I need to explain it
do I need to explain
it boys and girls not to learn to
together not all to learn anything
together any school that calls
themselves religious but has boys and
girls it's not a religious school same
thing as public school in my opinion
it's worse why because at least in the
public school you know that you're a
over there you still think you're a Jew
you're more
confused I personally think there are
more kids coming out atheist out of
these mixed schools than coming out of
public Public
Schools but the point being AB is these
schools are
forbidden no matter what they have and
there's a rabbi there like people think
if there's some guy with a beard he's a
rabbi so you send your kids to a school
like this you send your kids to a modern
Orthodox school where they teach you
things like the principal over here down
the street he had a video online telling
people listen you know that is we don't
believe in
miracles the word Ness means a flag not
a miracle D Miracles are silly that's
for like theatrics people that's you
know mythical stuff we don't believe in
stuff we're are rational Nation we
believe in things that we can prove
scientifically so the whole story of
ofam the the splitting of the ocean
that's easily explained by science he
says how there was a strong wind that it
went at a specific time and it did
something and exactly you know what you
guys want to know what it did go watch
Discovery Channel the whole show about
it that's where he learned us to this
principle he learned us to from a
Discovery Channel how do I know I
watched the same show when I was when I
was
a I thought it was really completely
ridiculous but nonetheless this is this
a principle of a Yeshiva said this in a
video you send your kids to a place like
this it's public school and guess
what from 300 years ago
the says you send your kids to one of
these schools it's 100% idol worship you
go up to shamim they're gonna say you're
an idol worshipper no no no I didn't I
didn't pray to Yos Idol worshiper no not
Buddha either Idol worshipper no it
wasn't even not into money Idol
worshipper why you sent your kid to a
place where they teach him things that
are against
hem they teach him that he came from
some monkey they teach him that he is a
monkey they teach him all types of
things that are against theem IID do
worship you violate The Ten Commandments
hence the reason why he writes
it a person needs to understand the
education of the kids is a big deal how
much of a big deal is the education of
the kids let's look at
the the r
writes now some people think oh yeah but
R you know we don't p in like rambam all
the time unless the didn't mention it
well the reason why we don't p in like
rambam all the time is because over 90%
of the is the
r including
this including this if you want to see
this you could also see it in the as
well it's not a uh it's not the rambam's
opinion and the reason why I'm
mentioning this and emphasizing this
point is because this is perhaps one of
the most politically
incorrect that you're going to hear
today section
245 mentions word for word what the r is
writing
here chapter 2 number
one the rambam
writes teachers of small children should
be located in each and every land in
each and every region in each and every
village in if a village does not have
children who study Torah the city's
populace is placed under a ban of of
ostracism until they employ teachers for
the children if they do not employ
teachers the city deserves to be
destroyed since the world exists only by
virtue of the breath coming from the
mouths of children who study
tah what is the according to the r what
is the according to the what is the
according to what is the according
to a place that does not
have a place for children to learn T
does not have a right to
exist and if it does
exist it deserves to be
destroyed and if you can't destroy it
because it's against the law of the Lamb
and surely you can put all of them
on meaning you can't count them in Mion
can't do business with them when you see
them you have to spit on
them why they don't value the Torah
enough to know that they must
invest into T
kids why the whole world exists for
them the whole world exists for these
little
kids
now page
21A mentions a story he says remember
remember a person remember a person for
the good that he did who is such a
person it says Yeshua Ben
gamla Yeshua Ben gamla was his
name says why is he good asks says if it
weren't for
him the Torah would have been forgotten
by
am Yeshua Ben gamla that some of us have
never heard his name in our life is
responsible for us learning to today is
responsible for the existence of all of
today because of something that he did a
couple of thousand years ago what did he
do thear says that in those
days the only person that would teach a
young
boy Torah would be his
father which meant that if you didn't
have a father you didn't learn
toor because no wants to teach you but
then they
instituted a practice of employing
teachers for young kids in y
and the teachers would accept children
to teach them only if they had a
father if they had a father we teach you
you don't have a
father good luck to
you
now and these
kids would study would start beginning
studying the T at 16 and 17 years
old and it beginning they would learn
from their father they want to learn
more 16 17 years old they would assign a
teacher to this young kid but if there's
no father there's no
Tor and before that
anyway so comes Yeshua B gamla and uses
his willpower uses his mind uses his
gifts makes the sacrifice of a lifetime
that's rewarding him every single single
second that the world
exists and he institutes a new
Tak from now
on in every city and this obviously
wasn't just one announcement it wasn't
like a text message he sent and
everybody accepted it and they pressed
like this means that he toiled his whole
life until this became standard the
standard that you see today what's the
standard new rule from now on
we're going to have schools for kids and
we're going to accept everyone to learn
T starting at the age of six years
old meaning all of the that you see
today for little kids first grade second
grade third grade fourth grade all that
stuff didn't exist for over a thousand
years after
M when did it start when Yeshua B gamla
said enough's enough we need to start
teaching these kids already when they're
6 years old when they get their mind
already to understand the difference
between good and bad but even more so
we're not allowed to
discriminate whether they have a father
or don't have a father whe they have
money or they don't have money in
fact is very different than what we know
because you see many people struggle
with t because it's expensive you want
to send a kid to Yesa 500 bucks a
month00 000 bucks a month if you have
four or five kids in Yesa you have to be
a
millionaire or a credit line of a
millionaire every month5 10
$20,000
ismo how do you how do you keep
up so expensive if you don't have the
money you have to get financial aid but
if they don't approve you for financial
aid because you still have the car that
you had when you actually had money so
they think you still have money but
you're just hiding it or whatever it is
they'll throw your kid out oh perhaps if
you're not the same tradition that they
are you know
there we don't like you know what out
out and many times this stuff happens
all this Prejudice all this all this
gross Behavior but what's the really
is if a person cannot afford to send
their kid to go learn
toah the entire Community is obligated
to go raise money you can go learn toah
you're never allowed to throw a kid out
ofah because of money
never you're only
allowed to throw a kid out OFA if he's
ruining other kids and he tried fixing
and it's just not fixable there are some
kids like that rotten kids but even
those kids even those kids they're not
rotten for no
reason something
happened point being
this whole issue of oh no I can't afford
to send my kiss to
Yesa according to the Torah ridiculous
now unfortunately what the problem is is
that sometimes there are people and more
than sometimes that can not only afford
to send a kid and to pay a full fee for
Yesa but they could also afford two or
three vacations a year they could also
afford to gamble on the weekends 5
$10,000 on maybe on some Lakers games
maybe on some football games maybe put
5,000 on black here and there maybe go
play some Texas hold them on a Tuesday
night you know they have money for that
but when it comes to Yesa to come up
with $4,000 a month to pay for the kids
tuition for a few kids no no listen it's
tough business we need a discount we got
three kids so it's because of them the
whole
system is corrupt why it's not just
because of the rabbis and it's m no no
it's because people are unfair they look
at the Torah as just something to do
it's good but it's not really worth the
money go play 5,000 on on Blackjack
that's worth the money go to some place
on the beach for 10,000 that's worth it
but to go teach my kids Torah for a
month for for th000 $2,000 no it's not
worth it it's because of people like
this the system is
corrupt it's a two-way street there's
issues with yes There's issues with
the parents There's issues
everywhere the only way we could address
uh deal with these issues and fix them
if we address them
first now but the beautiful thing is
that there was Major progress done by a
simple
man it wasn't mhu it
wasn't it was Yeshua Ben gamla who
instituted obvious was a obviously was
aik but I'm talking about he was still a
person that puts his pants on one leg at
a time not simple like he wasn't a giant
in
to and the key is when a person
understands that you can make a
difference all of a sudden you realize
oh you know what maybe I can make a
difference maybe I can do
something you start with your own
perception of toah your own perception
of educ ating your kids your own
perception of educating yourself instead
of looking at it as a luxury or as a
thing to do but rather as something that
you need to do
survival
now because a place that does not
have does not have a right to exist
needs to be destroyed the people there
on but even the rules when it comes to
teach
teachers if you're a teacher at a Yesa
you're a teacher at a place that teaches
Torah
and you're a little modern how are you
modern you know you're addicted to your
phone you have a phone addiction you
like to check your text message every 30
seconds you want to see uh maybe uh one
of these apps is selling you something
for a
discount you want to check your Facebook
maybe somebody pressed like on one of
your photos
you want to check a uh you know what you
want to
watch but during the time that you're a
teacher so the ra has for you also what
do he
say chapter 2 number three a teacher of
children who leaves the children and
goes out or remains with them but
performs other work IE plays with his
phone I.E does something other than
teaching him or is simply
lazy in their
instruction all right guys listen today
we're just going to
write 100
times that's we're going to do today oh
today kids everyone's going to read on
their own whatever they want whatever
they want it's a free day guys whatever
you want to read go ahead and read it
what do you want to read Rashi okay you
read Rashi what do you want to read you
want to read how you read what do you
want to read Fiddler on the Roof okay
Fiddler on the Roof even though it's
going to get you to G okay fine roof
over there it's not really roof it's
some else what you want to read okay you
everybody free day free day what a what
a nice liberal type of teaching all free
free but my you know but the parents
didn't send to the to the school to be
free they send to the school to be
taught but you want to be a you know
free want to be their friend I'm your
friend guys not your teacher you know
give your a free day the r writes such a
person lazying instructions teaching
them things that are below their
level is included in the rebuke by
Jeremiah chapter
48:10 cursed is the person who performs
God's work deceitfully meaning such a
teacher gets a special first class curse
from
a therefore it is only proper to select
a teacher who has is God-fearing and
teaches the children proficiently and
instructs them
diligently you have a job to teach kids
but you want to play with your phone you
want to see what your husband's doing
you want to see what your wife is doing
you want to see what your friends are
doing you want to see what Donald Trump
is doing maybe tweeted something you
like you want to check out maybe a
little you know maybe play some worm on
your phone pretend like you're actually
reading something you want to take a
nap says I got a special first class
curse with your name on
it why you're taking my
kids and you're destroying them why cuz
if it wasn't for you somebody with would
be here teaching them about
Hashem you don't want to do it don't do
it go be a
plumber go sell houses go smash your
head against the wall don't be a teacher
why to teach the kids is a very very
critical Mission and if we don't take it
seriously we're not going to survive as
a
nation
now continues and he
says who I
the um Thou shalt teach them diligently
unto unto thy children he says
instruction the children Torah formed
the foundation upon which Judaism was
supported for thousands of
years the
life ambition of the
parents was to rear their
children to become outstanding in Torah
and fear of Heaven
says for thousands of
years the goal of every parent every
Jewish parent was what do you want your
kid to be when he grows up tell me okay
what do you want your parent to what
your kid to be when he tell me oh wow
you guys are friends no we don't know
each other oh wow okay what about you
what do you want your kid to be when he
grow oh you guys no no of course come
together oh it's package okay
sadik sadik sadik what nobody wants to
be a doctor
why no one wants to be like a
multi-millionaire if hasem wants to give
us money he'll give us money why do we
need to be a doctor to be a millionaire
why do we need to be a lawyer to be
millionaire it's allowed to have a job
but the job is in order to pay for me to
learn
Torah the priority in life is to learn
Torah the job is just going to enable me
to to to you know to eat
that's
it
Shalom one of the greatest Giants in the
history
of he would tell
hisim encouraging things in different
ways and sometimes when he knew that
they were havinga issues when it comes
to money and the secular world he talked
to them their language he says guys what
do you think just you learn here you
make a th000 shekels 2,000 shekels a
month that's all it is in life no will
provide says look at me I'm not missing
anything so one time one of the kids
says listen I think I'm going to leave
the call my father wants me to leave the
why said he says maybe I'm going to go
finish my studies and become a doctor he
said no son you come here you sit here
you learn Tora You' be better than a
doctor he says okay I agree with you but
you have to convince my father goes okay
bring your father bring your father he's
outside okay bring him so the father
comes in from he's not a secular guy
goes to the beach on Shabbat no from
guy listen you know he learned already
he's already you know he's already okay
he knows T he knows a little thing I
just want him to go finish get a degree
in something and maybe become a doctor
or something says why become a
doctor can make a living could be uh you
know take care of
himself have some money you know get a
house so you says to him I have a house
I uh provide for
myself in fact I have millions of things
I'm not a doctor look at me the whole
world knows about me people buy my books
I'm not a
doctor you don't have to be a doctor the
kid stayed in St you got the point
why P comes from
hasem P comes from hasem money comes
from hasem it's just that sometimes we
need a reminder of this and that's one
of the things that happened a few
hundred years
ago
apparently too many people were
reminded that they go they need to go
make
money and put the Torah at
home because throughout the first few
thousand years of am
the aspiration of every parent was to
have their kids become what do you want
to be when you grow
upad but what do you want to do as far
as you know what do you want to you want
to be like uh make money if a sadik
makes money I want to do that too yeah
but a tadik though what do you want to
do honey I want to be
tadik and what else you're only six
years old what else you want to do I
want to have kids that's what the kids
would answer
that's all they car and that's what and
the parents would dance on the moon with
such an answer they're succeeding that's
all they want sure they people had
professions one guy was a shoe maker
another guy was helping people with
medical stuff another guy was selling no
people worked but the work was not for
the sake of work but rather for the sake
of
toah why because the priority in life
was to go learn to a few hundred years
ago many things changed withal with
Moshe Mendelson and his followers later
on Zionist and so
on Judaism hit a wall like no other time
in
history like no other time in
history continues he
says these this
generation
that their life's dream was to have kids
that would be outstanding in tah and
fear of Heaven
when it came to
livelihood they knew that he who gives
life gives
food meaning what about those people
what do they think about how am I going
to make some money how I'm going to eat
hey how did you get to the world did you
come by yourself or somebody bring you
no AEM brought me Hashem brought me into
the world I didn't make myself Hashem oh
so if he created you surely he has the
ability to feed you
too if he could take
a a little putrid seed and turn it into
a human being that speaks into a human
being that sees into a human being that
has teeth that come from flesh which is
a something that's an anomaly that
doesn't make any sense whatsoever if
anybody thinks about
it flesh creating solid
you have teeth exactly where they need
to be usually you have ears shaped in a
perfect way for you to hear everything
that's in front of you in back of you
and inside of you whereas if your ears
were positioned at a different part of
your body you'd have to
change the way your body is in order to
listen to somebody if your ear was in
your
hand guess what every time somebody
would talk to say oh talk to the hand
talk to the
hand I can't hear you no you saying hi
to me no no I just want to hear what
you're saying why is your hand in my
face cuz I want to hear really
close imagine your ear was in your foot
every time you had you have to raise
your foot on the
table imagine your Moler teeth were
instead of being in the side in in the
side of the mouth they would be in the
front that means that every time you
would chew all the food would fall out
of your mouth because your mouth would
constantly be open like a
cow but the teeth that you chew with are
in the
back precisely located right next to the
cheek that contains your food unless you
intentionally chew like a cow with your
not
open now a person thinks wait a minute
how come I have hair in unique places
like eyebrows why why don't I have hair
on the top of my nose how come I don't
have hair on my
fingertips because the most common place
that you sweat is your forehead and if
you don't have eyebrows you're not going
to be able to function you're not going
to be able to work cuz the sweat will go
into your eyes so your put a few hairs
exactly on the face where it needs to
be you're your nose
is put right next to your mouth for a
reason why as a protection as a defense
mechanism cuz sometimes something looks
good with your eyes but by the time you
taste it it's poison but your nose
protects you from that because if you
know what you're doing you can actually
smell it and never ever get to a point
of eating
it every single thing in your your body
is a miracle that cannot come by happen
stance by chance and so on this was done
by the creator of
is if he can take a putrid
seed and make sure that all of us have
noses in front of our face right next to
our mouth and eyes on two sides and ears
on two sides and eyebrows and Knuckles
and and feet and toe all types of things
that you sometimes don't even know
you're using but you depend on on
them then guess what surely he can get
you some money to eat too to keep this
body going the previous generation for
over 3,000 years knew this like they
knew the back of their hand surely we
had Generations that were sinful and
Idol worshiping and and all types of
other things but imun in general and in
general as a nation we didn't struggle
with it why we lived on it it was our
lifeblood you couldn't survive as a Jew
without having aai why someone was
constantly trying to kill
you if you didn't have a you didn't want
to leave the
house you had to have it a few hundred
years ago all that changed why Moshe
Mendelson and his friends told you maybe
you should put
some in
yourself maybe some put in your
skills maybe put some in your mind in
your boss in your
customer everything but now you leave
home that's why sometimes you have
places they call themselves a university
and a Yesa at the same time
sometimes it's Yeshiva sometimes it's
University sometimes it's a good place
sometimes not so good depending which
school you're talking
about Yeshiva Public School type of
thing so someone said you know they have
a mza they have a big mza at the front
gate of the school why why M they're
Jews no no it's not because of that it's
because God is inside that mza so they
leave him at the door they go inside
they learn all types of nonsense and
then when they to take God all with them
again God to the
door if if we don't
have that means God's the door there's
not in our
life survive because
of but what changed is we started
putting too much faith in ourselves too
much faith in our
skills my strength my
hand and instead of
having simple
complete that that the one that gives
life also will give us food we started
having more faith in creating our own
food and continues and says in recent
times coupled with the loss OFA and in
God has also been greatly
lessened parents concern themselves with
materialistic Ambitions for their
children
I want my son to be a doctor I want my
son to be a broker I want my son to be
on TV I want my son to you know be
something that's
special that's what I want my son people
sayman
says parents concern themselves with
materialism the their the Ambitions that
they have for their kids are no longer
to they're I want my kid to live in a
big house and to have all types of
plaques on the wall for all types of
degrees that he paid for but didn't
actually use in real
life did you see my son he was on TV
today yeah what did he do oh he was in
the background while they were
interviewing the mayor you see I'm proud
of my son for being on TV I'm proud of
my son he was an extra he was an extra
in a movie what was he doing he was
jumping rope in the back scene did you
see it
I'm so proud of my son he's such an
achieved boy I'm proud of my daughter
what did your daughter do oh she's a
runway model she just modeled for for
bathing
suits so proud of my
daughter that's what people's Ambitions
are they turned their children to
cattle If Only They complete their
courses the parents say of regular
study then they're secured for the rest
of their
lives also the Deliverance of Isel in
their eyes depends on
it with increase in the number of our
intellectuals they
say so will our Prestige rise in the
eyes of the
Goen says such parents
today in his day needless to say in our
day they view the Torah as a secondary
but rather the priority is the
materialistic Ambitions the secular
studies because if you get a degree
surely you're secured for life if you're
going to complete College son surely
you're going to be able to get a job if
you're going to go to grad school and
you know by the time you gr graduate to
have a $300,000 loan that you have to
pay but no way in the world you're going
to be able to until you you become a
millionaire 50 years from now you know
but if you get it surely you're going to
be able to get a job you're going to
have job security because you got a
degree you got a degree in communication
so you can
communicate you got a degree in in in in
in in physical education even though
you're 50 pounds
overweight you got a degree in in in uh
in in going to school because you stayed
there an extra four years could you like
to drink you get a degree in going to
school you're an expert and going to
school not learning but just going you
got a degree in
drinking and doing drugs got a degree in
top school University 50,000 a year
50,000 a year you got a degree but
surely you're secured is the
mindset one of the biggest scams in
modern society is the University
system the education that you could
actually acquire for free in many cases
people have to pay an arm and a leg for
$40 $50,000 why because they have the
preconceived notion that in order for
them to be successful they have to
acquire this
degree the truth be told anyone that
attended College knows that the first
three years of for foure school is a
complete waste of time all you do is
drink sleep and try to pass the classes
even if that means you're going to cheat
the whole time doesn't really make a
difference when you actually picked a
major maybe the last semester before you
graduate that means that for the first
three years out of four years all you
did is just pay them the bill but I'll
give you a degree for it as long as the
check doesn't bounce they'll give you
whatever degree you want but if you're
really special and you have some money
you're going to need an extra couple
years at grad school for what to drink a
little more maybe try some more drugs
stuff that you can't try in in their
other
school maybe meet a few more people of
the opposite gender same gender try
something new why not ruin your life a
little
worse pretend like you're a grown-up
start telling the actual grown-ups that
work for a living what to do you're a
grat school student you're sophisticated
you're an intellectual you just
completed a thousand page book but you
don't remember a single word but you
passed the test though you even got an
A+ but the check clear though cuz if it
didn't clear you got a failure somehow
you always fail when the chck doesn't
clear even if you failed the class but
your parents have some extra money like
a celebrity type of money they'll pay
for you to get
a you can buy a you can even buy 4.0 for
the entire time without attending
if you're an athlete wow you don't ever
have to go to class you have a degree in
whatever you want in fact you can get a
PhD without ever attending a class if
you want just have enough money and you
have to be a really good athlete why
it's good for the
school it's good for the school it's
good for the school that you're able to
run faster than than a lion it's good
for the school that a bunch of people
that have nothing to do on a Sunday are
going to come watch you run jump flip do
all types of things that animals really
should be doing but not
people like for you to portray yourself
as your you're a cheetah that's good for
the school you don't need to go to class
we'll give you a PhD what do you want
English now you speak English right okay
you got an English degree kid you got an
English
degree one of the biggest jokes in
history is the University system
especially today where it's so
easy to acquire
information and the truth be told as a
entrepreneur in the
past the worst people in the world to
hire are people that believe in this
educational system I had guys come to my
office Harvard
graduates worst people on the planet at
sometimes sometimes they're really good
but sometimes the worst why because they
believe that everything is supposed to
be according to their little Scantron
and everything that they don't think
outside of the box
best employees while you're able to keep
them entrepreneur mindset many times
they never even finish school why it's
too
slow it's too slow why do I need to go
to school for four years if I complete
all the information in six
months for
what you see some of the most successful
people in the world many of them never
finish school why it's too
slow backwards thinking the whole point
of schools to teach you how to think but
today's schools to teach you how to
pay and the parents have such a warped
ideology that even though they
themselves went to the school and even
though they themselves admit that the
school is a complete waste of money they
still send their kids there why
yet is very good at his job what about
Tah no Torah he'll learn when he gets a
chance
now it's no
wonder why
the mat the situation in
homes is deteriorating so
rapidly over
80% of couples in Western Society get
divorced
80% now what do you guys think is more
difficult
to get married and stay married or fly a
plane I mean rationally speaking you
should say fly a
plane fly a plane it's a big giant boat
in the air and how do we control this
thing truth is you're wrong what's the
proof not that I have a flew a plane on
my own or
anything but there's a proof what's the
proof you know all you want to go fly a
plane you go take some courses 1 2 3
years you can fly a
plane you could fly a plane after a
couple years worth of
courses you can fly a plane if you're a
terrorist 6 months you're
good cuz you don't need to learn how to
land but generally speaking you want to
fly a plane few months you're good after
a year or two you're an expert you could
well work at United Airlines American
Airlines you know Spirit if you like to
torture people all types of
things you can go fly a
plane now if I told you listen good luck
on this business trip that you're taking
or good luck on this uh you know trip
that you're taking to such and such
place just so you know 80% of the planes
that take off
crash how many of you can't wait to take
off to the next
trip not a single person will buy a TI
it if such a statistic existed why 80%
of the people
crash I'm just going to stay home in
fact I'm just going to walk I'm going to
walk to
Antarctica I'm going to walk to Africa
on the
ocean I'm not going to go on 80% crash
but yet 80% of the couples get divorced
why because the education to be a couple
the education to be a good husband the
education to be a good wife the
education to be a good parent is a lot
more difficult than one or two years of
playing school it's your whole life but
it begins at
childhood if you only start to learn
about how to be a husband a day after
you become a husband guess what most
likely going to join that
statistic if you only learn how to be a
good wife a day after you become a wife
guess what you're probably not going to
be so good for a little
while y he's probably going to hate you
you probably kind of regret it for a
little while until you become a good
wife why you don't know how to you don't
know how to be a good wife you never
learned how to be a good wife yeah but
how can I learn how to be a good wife
without being a wife it's called
Torah Torah teaches
everything how do you become a good wife
how do you become a good parent how do
you become a good husband you work on
yourself and you develop your character
traits with a specific focus on your
weaknesses you're you know quick to
anger work on
that you're stingy work on that you're
splurging work on that you're jealous
work on that you're arrogant work on
that you don't want to work on it guess
what it's better off you don't get
married because there's nothing
separating you from the cow or the
elephant in a
zoo without knowing how to be a good
husband a good wife a good Jew a good
human being nothing separating you other
than
speech what's the
proof who created the
world but do you ever ask yourself how
come when created the animals he created
the male and the
female together male and female were
created but separate together but
separate there was the male elephant and
female elephant male bear female bear
male lion female
lioness
twoo but when it came to people
Adam he created Adam one and then he
took his rib and he made from it how
come he didn't just
make he made the line male and female
everywhere else how come he didn't just
do you know either a husband a
wife why do he have to make a
and take something from him to
make the holy Torah tells us the tells
us would have
taken the same principles that he
created the rest of the animals and used
them to
create separate guess what there would
be nothing different between us and the
animals where
the male lion and the female lioness
have no connection whatsoever other than
physical when it comes to food the says
he pushes her out of the way cuz he's
hungry when it comes to his needs he
cares less if she wants because he
needs there is no loyalty there's no
partnership there's nothing everything
is based on their physical creation
that's what being an animal is you work
you live you exist based on
desire if would have
created separate they would be just like
the animals when she wants something
she'll get out of my way I'm
hungry when he wants something hey lady
you ate my food I'm going to kill you
no connection no love no emotion nothing
animals if she does something that he
doesn't like he starts screaming at her
why no connection no love no
nothing if he does something she doesn't
like she goes finds a new
mate no connection no love no loyalty no
nothing if he do doesn't like the kids
that she produced into the world he
simply abandons them or better yet maybe
even killed
them no connection no love these are not
mine they're
hers now let me ask you guys a question
are some of these
actually sound
familiar all of these animal traits of
abandoning kids of betraying your spouse
of Simply caring only for your
needs it's animal
traits but today it's standard among
Society why less Torah means more
animal who created you to be
one Adam he called
them Adam is not plural it's singular
why the man and the woman are supposed
to be
one went to Dr Cook one
time and he said
duck our leg
hurts D was confused he said can you say
that again said our leg
hurts you she say that one more time
it's early in the morning Rabbi sorry
what hurts exactly our leg hurts so you
have a leg hurts no our leg hurts what
do you mean our leg well my wife she has
a wound on her leg it hurts her but when
it hurts her it hurts me even more so
our leg
hurts when you have Torah in your life
and it's inside your veins
your wife your husband is
you it's a one thing there's no separate
there's no I like to do this on the
weekends but my husband likes something
else I like to go there on the weekends
but my wife not so
much there's no such thing the more
Torah you have the more connection you
have between the couple the more united
you are now what is the greatest benefit
of a United couple in a Torah mindset
the
kids how the kids come out the biggest
damage is when there's separation among
the parents surely the kids are going to
pick different
camps now in the past people thought
that yes this Torah that we just learned
of course it's the most important but
over the last few hundred
years the Torah has been viewed as
nonsensical old
ancient not relevant all types of
horrific descriptions that they give the
words of
Hashem sometimes they say it literally
sometimes they simply do it by their
actions sometimes it's done by religious
people sometimes it's done by secular
people no
exceptions how do we do it we do it
based on how we live our life and how we
prioritize our Tor
land the parents concern themselves with
materialistic Ambitions for their
children looking at it as if if their
kids only complete their regular study
then the rest of their lives are
set and they also view it such high such
Glamour the secular studies that they
believe that the Deliverance of Israel
meaning the Salvation is going to come
when we become more successful ful we
build more buildings more Tel avives
more drugs for the world to buy more uh
technology for the world to use more uh
open system democracy and so on and so
forth theen will see us and admire us
and they'll see us that we're no
different than them but we're special
and no different and special even though
it's ay or just moronic
with an increase in number of our
intellectuals we
will so will the prestige rise in the
eyes of
theim we constantly want to look good in
the eyes of
theim it's no secret that there are many
rabbis in the modern world today some
even dare to call themselves
Orthodox that admire the
pope admire Christianity
whether it's the few that I've mentioned
in the past or it's the some that I have
not simply because it's of no no purpose
there is even
one one politician that calls himself a
rabbi who has a very old Shool in New
York at the front of his
synagogue he has an enormous picture of
himself next to the Pope
as far as spiritual values are
concerned as far as spiritual values are
concerned things are a little bit
different he says our days have shown us
how right this principle is in a Mater
materialistic sense meaning that
all of these people that think that if
they
get more money they'll be more happy the
older you get the more you realize how
much of a fallacy this is or people that
think that if they get more secular
education they'll be more assured to
have stability the older you get the
more you see how fake this is in fact
the more time you spent in college the
more likely you are to be in debt for
much much longer period of
time and more times than not most people
do not use their college degree for any
value
whatsoever I know some people that have
a medical degree but have a business
that has nothing to do with anything
remotely close to
medicine so they owe a half a million
dollars in loans to school for something
they don't even
use I have some people that I know that
have serious degrees psychology degrees
this degree that degree and they're
bartenders hoping that maybe this week
they'll make 6 700
bucks so we see that this perception of
secular education being the Holy Grail
being the Salvation we know obviously
this is to be this is false but yet
there are more people attending and
joining schools every single day than
any other time in
history so much so that it's infected
the religious world where now if you do
not
go if you do not want to go to a
university whether it be a Yesa
University type or the likes you have to
explain yourself to everyone you have to
explain yourself to the rabbi who should
really be recommending for you to go to
learn Torah you have to explain to
yourself why you don't want to go to
learn a skill why do you just want to
learn toah how you going to make a
living why you expect your your parents
to pay for you that's not responsible
kid you have to explain yourself to both
parents why because your IMA wants
really to spend the extra money they
have you know on retirement or on
vacation or maybe a second or third
house or maybe a new kitchen she doesn't
want to spend it on you going to Yesa
going to K your father is kind of tired
of it also why cuz listen kid I work
really hard I done come on get out of
here already
Sho I have to pay for you learning some
books so you have to explain yourself to
your parents and then if that's not
enough you have to explain to your
friends why because your friends they're
all going to become big businessmen Wall
Street this street that street all types
of street or one guy's going to be
finding the next Google microsof all
types of things H listen when I make it
I'll give you someaka they'll assume
that even if you make it you're going to
be
homeless like even if you're okay yeah
you're going to learn it you're going
okay listen I'll give you some stuff
I'll give you my I'll give you my
M I'll give you some po
you
listen it's good it's good we need we
need some people that's homeless I mean
people are learn Torah we need we need
homeless I mean Torah people yeah we
need we
need people are they have this
perception of Torah it's so lonly and
awful they assume that if you learn
Torah you're going to be homeless you're
going to be poor you're going to be
broke you're going to be some loser
you're going to be begging for
change nothing is further from the truth
surely there are some like this and
there are some like this but that's in
both
worlds there are plenty of people that
work two or three jobs that still can't
make ends
meet meaning their entire life is
working but they can't make End meat and
there are some people that learn tah and
guess what they have more money than
anybody else here and they didn't
inherit it it wasn't gifted to them by
some uh lotto ticket they make a
living they make a
living how come those the
world but when you don't
have inem that means that that has to be
somewhere else it doesn't just cease to
exist it's either in AEM or it's in
something else
and what ends up happening the Lessa we
have inem the morea we have in
ourself and in the secular world that's
praiseworthy believe in yourself kid and
then you'll make
it you have to believe in yourself
everything is yourself is I iTunes iPod
I this I that everything is I me me me
no
Hashem guess what
that's system for
failure and we see it in society and how
lowly it is today divorce rates are
really high the the the just the
educational system no one can admire
it if you look at other countries you
see that kids kids that are in first
grade are learning certain things in
Japan and Israel that kids in high
school don't even learn when I came to
America I was 10 years old I felt like
the entire class was when it
came to math now I didn't know how to
speak English because that I didn't
learn that yet in I knew the the serial
box but when it came to math I felt like
everyone was was deformed or
something I didn't understand how come
they're learning this I learned this
four years ago what's wrong with these
people I only started catching up when I
was almost a senior in high
school but that's the thing people look
no secular
education now what happens now when we
have so much faith in a secular
educational
system of wman says as far as the
spiritual values are concerned the
children and he talking about the
children that keep Shabbat he's talking
about the children that are coming from
Modern Orthodox house he's talking about
the kids that you know they keep but you
send them to a university you send them
to a public school you send them to a
little modern here modern there type of
thing not tah is number one number two
number three but everything
else he says the
children are brought up as complete
Gentiles nationalist or
internationalist he says that a kid that
comes out of such a house where the
Torah is not priority number one is
bound to
become someone with a
mindset of a gentile and I'm not talking
about the right good ones that believe
in hem serve AEM and are trying to be
like Noah are trying to be like job are
trying to be like KES kesim no I'm
talking about somebody just exists in
the world some guy in Asia that all he
does is make one tons soup all day all
night and then he goes to sleep he just
fills up space in the world and as long
as somebody wants one ton soup they can
go to
him I'm talking about people that
literally live to
work like some people in Japan they work
so much they don't believe that they
have time to get married so they buy
robots whether it be a vacuum cleaner or
some other type of robot and they marry
the
robot why they don't have time or money
enough to marry a person so they marry a
robot such people are just simply
filling up
space now surely if you you ask them
question about their career they're
probably really good at it if they're in
tech support surely they can fix all
your problems in tech support if they're
Engineers surely they can fix your
engineering issues if they are anything
any profession they're good at that
profession but in reality as far as the
purpose like they have a purpose no
they're like a screw in an
airplane when your whole life is simply
work you're screw in an airplane
we need you to exist we need a screw
there if it's not you it's some other
screw
but no one's going to ask oh can't
believe I lost that screw I'm going to
miss that screw wow what would the world
do without that screw no you just put
another screw
in no one asks oh what happened to that
one ton guy oh he died wow what a nice
guy no ask no ask you know why
want no one oh yeah that guy used to
make best coffee on on 100 Wall Street
there was a corner over there guy with a
little mustache little Arab guy he made
the best nobody cares nobody cares why
there's a new guy from India he makes
coffee nobody cares why cuz you're a
screw you're a coffee maker you're just
something that exist now guess what he
can do
it he wants to be a screw let him be a
screw he wants to marry robot let him
marry robot that's his
problem but as a Jew
or as someone that wants to become a
righteous no hide you have no
right no right to abuse your own life
like
that to Simply take your life and throw
it in the
garbage you're acting like a
screw but unfortunately many people do
they go and they invest every waking
hour they have trying to acquire more
material stuff because they think that
they need
it only to later find out that they have
a whole lot more than they need so much
so that there's a bunch of stuff they
thought they need it they haven't even
opened yet but they've already owned it
for 5
years their perception of reality is so
distorted that their kids see their
parents
as something they want to be but they're
not really so sure either
though now what's the
reaction of Heaven to the spiritual
Affliction of was and
asks he brings a verse from Jeremiah
chapter 2 verse
19 where says to the prophet to tell am
your
evil shall castigate you your
waywardness shall chasten you realize
and understand that your forsaking of
hem your God is evil and bitter and that
my awe was not upon
you the word of my Lord Hashem master of
legiance
says you're abandoned of my t not just
abandoning meaning you violated Shabbat
no you kept Shabbat kept Shabbat you
kept
koser but when it came to learning T you
didn't have time for it
ever when it came to T being number one
most important thing no not so
much when the teacher asked the kids at
a event that actually
happened few years
ago first grade kids they had a kumash
party had a kumash
party and a
teacher had a system we would ask the
kids every day a good question ah what's
the most important thing in the world T
all these little cute little six sixy
old kids Torah Torah every every day
every day every day now at the party you
know the parents were there they every
Tor yeah yeah yeah now the teacher at
one point he said so what's the most
important thing in the world today
T and he wanted to see are they just
robots or they believe what they're
saying these kids I mean not only six
years old you know but still so then he
asked the follow-up question for the
first time hey
kids can anyone tell me anything that's
more important than
[Applause]
Torah all the kids silent silent silent
silent silent new kids someone has to
tell me is there anything else that's
more important than Torah silence
silence silence silence indicate the
back yes you know he's hoping there was
no hands but there's a
hand yeah yeah yes son
yes
cougle what everybody all the all the
first grad start laughing W they had a
laugh but he got offended look he got
offend what what do you mean son C
that's more important right
Rabbi
okay okay class dismissed guys okay you
stay here go go kids good job good job
you don't want to continue embarrassing
little kid me this Rabbi
wasn't so you know there's something
wrong the kid actually means it he's not
joking he's not making fun he actually
means what he's saying and he's a friend
of everybody he's like making fun of he
doesn't know so you want to end it right
away okay class dismiss go play do
something let me talk to this kid son
what do you mean what do you mean cougle
well Rabbi you know every Friday you
know we learn with ABA you know and we
learn you know the
par and no one's allowed to do anything
you're not allowed to do anything you
have to learn with ABA and we learn he
tells story and this
okay yeah but nothing's allowed to stop
except when IMA comes with the cougle
then doesn't matter where we are if
we're in the middle of the story nothing
ABA closes the book we got it that's it
cougle's
here so obviously coug one no
Rabbi now let me ask you this parent is
not a bad parent he's he's obviously
means well he sends this kid to learn
tah he teaches him himself it's
fantastic but he doesn't realize this St
tiny tiny little mistake he's
making
unintentionally unintentionally but
unfortunately it's making a mark on his
kid may we never have such marks where
the kid the little pure boy is so pure
and so so small that he thinks that koug
is more important in
Torah now sometimes parents
tell a kid listen um the Yesa that you
want to go it's uh it's a little
expensive son so what we're going to do
is you're going to go to you know free
school with the go you know you go to
public school and then we're going to
you know we're going to get you somebody
to learn with you you know after school
and so on now you're thinking yeah I'm
going to you know private teacher I'm
going you know but it's going to save
some money instead of $1,000 a month
$2,000 a montha I'm G to get somebody
for like a hundred bucks a week 100
bucks a month right I'm going save some
money for my kid I'll use it to save him
to go to college right I'm doing the
right thing right guess what you're
doing all you're doing is telling your
kid listen son Torah is not worth the
money when you tell your kid listen
don't go to spend money on Torah let's
go spend money on on on vacation let's
go spend money on a nicer car let's go
spend money on another pair of shoes you
know what listen you're not going to go
to Yesa but I'll buy you a new toy I'll
buy you a new uh game boy boy something
that's going to ruin your life I'm going
to buy you one of those you know I'm
going to get you that don't worry you
have a new friend don't worry don't
worry but you know you're going to go to
don't worry it's everything okay cuz
you're thinking I I looked at my
Quickbooks I got my financial plan I got
to save 12,000 this year so what's the
best thing to do oh let's cut the Yesa
thousand
amount that's it easy cut listen honey
we can go make vacation this year why I
just cut I'm a genius I just cut our
expenses by 12,000 why honey you really
are a genius oh by the way our son's not
going to go to Yesa anymore
what yeah no no he's going to go to a
better school listen these Public
Schools today are so good they're better
than these you see what happened in the
news with
the what are you teaching your kid Torah
is not worth
it Torah is not worth
it the same thing happens AB
constantly and that's why the prophet
tells
us who
says that the evil the evil that we do
when we desecrate the to us in such a
way views it as if we forsaken his name
we didn't treat Torah like we do like
we're supposed to the next verse says
what ends up happening with such an
attitude where he says for I have always
broken
your your yoke and torn off your
straps and you have said I will not
transgress meaning you said listen I'm
not going to go to this party but I'm
not going to make a sin I'm gonna go to
this bar but I'm not going to drink I'm
gonna go hang out with these guys but
I'm not going to do drugs I'm going to
play this game but I'm not going to
become addicted I'm going to do this but
I'm not going to make a sin you thought
that with you're going to rewire the
system you're going to beat the system
with your own logic not with my Tora so
the Prophet Jeremiah
says you said I will not transgress yet
upon every lofty Hill and under every
leafy tree you wander like a
harlot you always say no no I'm not
going to sin I'm not going to sin but
yet every time there's some way to sin
you're always
there hey Rabbi listen it's okay uh to
play poer right no no oh man I just did
it okay so we'll do it next time hey
Rabbi listen it's it's okay to do uh you
know to steal right no no no oh man I
just stole once okay next time I won't
do it okay Rabbi it's okay to be in this
business murdering people right no no no
oh man I just did okay I won't do it
next time how come you only ask after
you do the
sin Rabbi it's it's allowed to eat this
stuff right he doesn't have a kosher
stand but it's allowed it's only potato
chips right it's allow no no it's not it
has Pig in it oh man okay oh next time
we'll do it all right all right thanks
Rabbi
thanks why you're not using the Torah
you pretend to you pretend to be
religious got to keep on everything got
the
costume got the
costume but you don't have t you don't
have you can pretend all you want said a
harlot it's not a
compliment at
all why you used your own logic and you
found yourself under every single tree
under every single form of idolatry
every sing every time you have a new
friend he's a Christian he's a Muslim
everything but a righteous Jew no no I
got a new friend he's Jewish yeah yeah
he's atheist but he's Jewish why can't
you find a nice religious
person as a friend why do all of your
friends have to be against your beliefs
no why he's a nice guy what do you mean
he's a nice guy he's spitting in God's
face by saying he doesn't believe in him
what's so nice about
him what's so nice about no no not like
the other guy you you didn't like the
Muslim guy right no no the Muslim guy
was actually better but he's still not
good for you why because he believes
that all Jews are
liars that's Foundation of Muslim
belief that's why there's no real debate
between Muslims and Jews why because
there's you can't debate the Muslims why
because they simply believe that the
Jews changed the
Torah so there's no
debate at least the Christians which are
Idol worshippers but nonetheless you
could debate them why because they at
least they believe in the authenticity
of the tah but with the Muslims there's
no debates why they simply believe we
change the Torah they think instead
of we change the
names so there's no debate there so you
being friends with him and he's a
religious Muslim it's not exactly an
ideal friend for a nice Jewish boy it's
not okay okay no but I always hang out
with the Christian kids why well they're
not really religious yeah but why can't
you find Jewish kids and be with them
like why is it always that every tree
you're under is the wrong
one because you're not using Torah and
you know why you're not using Torah
because your parents told you Torah is
not all that you could do other stuff
you could learn important things on the
news you could become smart by watching
game
shows you can become rich by scratching
a lotto ticket or maybe inventing
something by playing on your
computer these types of beliefs start
with the parents go to the kids and then
everybody's surprised that we have an
assimilation rate of Jews marrying
non-jews over 90% in some places in
America over
90% there's a better chance of a person
getting hit in the face by a
plane than marrying a Jew in
America why it's such a secular
mentality that unless you toil and make
an extra self sacrifice to go learn to
yourself and ignore everyone around
you you're simply not going to make it
why cuz your friends they go to school
but they don't really want to they go to
Yeshiva but they don't view it as like
Yeshiva is going to teach me about life
it's the greatest thing in the world I
talk to hem all day don't don't they
just like I can't wait to get out of
here that mental is not going to make it
in life it's not going to make it in je
if you have that mentality about your
Torah learning you can't wait for it to
be over St good if you're learning more
about girls in school than you are about
mosu that's not a good school you're not
going to make it in life you're not
you're gonna have to do CH at some
point so if you want to make it in the
Jewish world as a kid you literally have
to make a self-sacrifice that none of
your friends are willing to make which
is very difficult now as an adult you're
now in your 20s 30s you've already made
a bunch of mistakes the older you are
the more mistakes you
made now you want to change your life
you want to go back oh okay I want to R
redo life but you can't CU you already
got this and you got that you already
stuck with this and stuck with that so
it's a lot harder to
fix not
impossible but that means that you have
to be willing to break stuff that used
to be important to you sometimes that's
your marriage sometimes that's a
relation relationship sometimes that's a
partnership with a business sometimes
it's a hobby sometimes it's all types of
things you have to break what used to be
important to
you and guess what while you're breaking
what used to be important to you
everyone around you saying what are you
crazy or something are you having a
midlife
crisis what's wrong with
you so you cannot ask for them to
support you why they don't see what you
do don't expect them
to and guess what you still got to do it
whether they join you or go against you
you still got to do it why you got to
save yourself
first you gotta learn Tora you gotta do
you gotta keep Shabbat yeah but what if
my wife doesn't want to do it okay she
doesn't want to do it I have to do it
anyway what if my husband doesn't want
to do it okay he doesn't want to do it
you have to do it anyway hopefully he
joins you at some point hopefully she
joins you at some point but you that
doesn't mean anything you still got to
do it yeah but they're calling me crazy
and they're making fun of me okay let
make fun of
you it's better they make fun of you
than
AEM being upset for a
second now doing that is even more
difficult and as a person grows older
and
older the difficulty increases because
there are more things that you're used
to there are more things you need to
break
and is going to help you only if you are
willing to help
yourself and continues and he says the
scholars the
intelligencia meaning the int
intellectuals are our main as silence in
most
countries Jewish Scholars are smitten
with iron rods by their fellow students
Jewish youth in Times Gone by devoted
their lives to the study of the Torah
today they sacrific thems for the great
honor of sitting on one bench with wild
beasts with Despicable
Behavior wasman says in the past
Generations the kids would toil with t
they would learn from someone that's a
an angel among men someone that sacrific
his whole life life his time with his
family his his his his desires his
everything to serve a and he loves it
andless your little kid was next to him
all day learning Torah from
him that's who you wanted your kid to be
next you wanted your kid to be next
to you wanted your kid to be next to the
you wanted your kid to be next to the r
to the ran to their student
students at the time of the sages of the
of the before the the time of the
[Applause]
mishos before
Zak there was sh and Aon sh and Aon both
converts both Giants among giants can
Resurrect The
Dead their student was H their student
was you know who they were teaching
little kids the biggest Rabbi in the
world who's he teaching six-year-old
kids little kids also big ones but
six-year-old
why the six-year-old is more important
than the 30-year-old why he hasn't been
ruined
yet he hasn't been ruined yet today you
tell the you know big rabbi big Rabbi
one you teacher first
grade look what are you crazy ah I'm
better than that how can you say that to
me you know got some lady to do
it you got some young kid to do it what
I'm a big Rabbi I need teacher
sh so again things have changed on both
ends our perception has changed our
understanding has changed
changed but we in previous gim in
previous
generation the parents aspire to have
the local
R
the teach their
kids says
today people sacrific their
life just to have the honor to take a
picture next to some Beast that can jump
really high and put a ball in a
hoop people will do
anything embarrass themselves
publicly just to hug some stranger
because he was on some
movie yeah you see yeah yeah I'm next to
that boxer that's cool right yeah he
didn't really like it but I got the
picture though you know yeah but he was
eating dinner with his family I don't
think he wanted that picture yeah yeah
whatever but he's used to it he's used
to it that's cool picture though right I
got made $100 million this
year people Aspire that's their goal now
who are these people that you Aspire
take a picture with divorce four five
six times beat their wives drug addicts
sometimes rapists sometimes pedophiles
all types of filthy disgusting Behavior
that's what R wasman is saying look what
you changed look what you rep placed our
sages
with you took your kid from learning
from aspiring to be next to M of his
generation why so you can go hang out
with some basketball star to be in the
NBA one day or maybe get front row
tickets and pretend like maybe they'll
put me on TV while I'm screaming oh look
look look see that's me screaming look
I'm the one that say foul foul I was
into it right
I go to Every
Game you're a low
life you may be a nice person but your
life is low meaningless why you spend
your life watching a bunch of people
overgrown
people chase a piece of
leather with an ambition of putting it
into a hole cursing each other as much
and as often as
allowed cheating whenever they possible
just as long as they don't get
caught and actually getting paid for it
and you invest your time money and your
life into this that's a low
existence you'd actually be better off
going to the zoo cuz maybe you'll learn
something
there but what happens is when people
spend so much time watching sports they
start
admiring the
subject now you're never going to see
anybody go to a zoo and say wow that
lion I want to be a lion one day
man next week I'm gonna come here I'm
going come here as a
lion I'm going to do you know what I'm
going to be I'm going to next week you
know what I'm going to be a deer and I'm
going beat up this lion you watch your
back
lion never going to happen why that's
the subject that's the
entertainment it's an
animal but yet
countless countless people millions and
millions of people look at the
entertainment animals kicking or
throwing a
ball and they admire to be
them ignoring the fact that their
personal lives are in shambles nine out
of 10 times ignoring the fact that many
of them have addictions that you don't
even want for your
enemies ignoring the fact that their
lives are completely miserable and
insignificant the moment they retire and
even during while they're playing
ignoring the fact that the vast majority
of them have such horrible and horrific
lives that they end up having having
kids with different mothers we not even
being sure who what when and
how having children say Aba but they're
not really sure which guy it is having
kids saying IMA but they're not really
sure who what when and
how simply
producing low lives in the world now
surely some are decent surely some are
good but a large
part there nothing for you to Aspire
to nothing for you to Aspire
toire replace mosenu with
this it's bad enough that you waste your
time watching it it's bad enough that
you waste your energy knowing the
statistics in your head of the salary
cap of every team in some
League it's bad enough that you know
who's coming up for a trade this year
it's bad enough that you actually
pretend to own a piece of the team
because you put some $100 on some
website and you have a fantasy league
and you actually pretend this fantasy is
real and you're upset when you lose
which is completely
ludicrous you lost a fantasy and you're
upset do you understand what that means
you're upset at something that's not
real that's like waking up in the
morning and being upset and you're not
Al
liing and people invest their time with
this it's already bad
enough but what does a kadh say he says
it's already bad enough you did it
it's already bad enough you acted like a
harlot every week There's a new sport
every week There's a new hobby every
week There's a new thing it's bad enough
but what's worse is the fact that you
completely replaced my Torah to the
point where you don't want to learn
it when I tell you come to suddenly
you're tired but when your boy calls you
listen we got a game to go got free
tickets you coming all of sudden you
have all the energy in the
world when somebody says come on we got
a shield we got a dff y me like ah you
do your me I do my
me I got a
game I got a game to watch I got a game
to play K says that's worse it's not
only bad that we took on these horrific
things but we replaced the sages we
replaced m
we
replaced with people that simply are not
even anything to Aspire to
be that's
embarrassing now how do you get your
kid how do you get your kid to love
Torah
the said he lived a time with these same
musim these same
reformers who many of them knew Torah a
lot of Torah were destroying Jews left
and right
the every single day of his life during
his prayer would
say somebody asked who's this Adam Coen
that you keep cursing him is cursing
somebody
people don't think that ever ever was
went against anyone they have no
idea was every day he cursed this person
says who's this Adam Cohen Adam Cohen
when I was a
kid little kid this Adam Co was a
successful person
religious and every day he took an
interest in me because he saw that I was
committed to learning T and every day he
said come come sit with me come sit with
me I'll teach you some on the Torah and
he start teaching me his heresy and call
it Torah but in the beginning I didn't
know his
heresy until one of the local told my
mother this guy is a famous heretic this
guy's a famous reformer get your kid
away from him and when I grew up and I
realized the more I knew toah the more I
realized this guy was trying to destroy
my
eternity so from that day on I said
every day he prayed for him to be
destroyed every day of his life now I'm
not talking about just destroyed in this
world in the next World in the next
world and the next World make a eighth
level in Gom and a ninth level Gom and a
10th level of Gom and another Gom just
for him that's how
much hated him why he tried to destroy
my eternity now destroying my eternity
is bad enough but imagine the eternity
of the Torah of the being destroyed
imagine such a thing happening you take
this kid that
became who knows
about all of these his pictures
everywhere imagine this kid not becoming
the how much l would happen to the
world this Adam coin why tried to
destroy not just
me so these enlighteners these modern
Orthodox mindset type of
people were literally going after the
best of
us
and says there was no shortage of
difficulties that I had in my life
fighting against these enlighteners
these musculine
but you know the real reason of why I
stayed glued to the
Torah he says I'll tell you a
story there was one time a little boy
8-year-old
boy and this eight-year-old boy had a
tough
life not a tough life like today's tough
life where he doesn't have the new
PlayStation real tough life sometimes
you don't have food for a few days that
kind of tough life
one day he came back from
the and he tells
IM we just
finished
IM turned around went inside the
room without telling him a
word 10 minutes
later is IMA comes out of the room with
a gown a beautiful gown you only go to
events make up on celebrating it starts
celebrating taking all the candy and
different treats she got for Shabbat
prepared for a special day and starts IM
what what's happening it says it's y son
it's y no y no what do you mean it's
it's y it's
y it's
my mother he says she started crying
crying from celebrating in happiness cuz
the 8-year-old
boy finished
a she started celebrating as if it was a
y and guess what says I was that little
boy and see how happy my mother was when
I completed some Torah when I learned
some Torah gave me the
strength gave me the strength to hold on
and cleave to his t for the rest of my
life I never stopped learning toah why
because that minute that I saw that my
mother celebrated the honor of the Torah
more than she celebrated anything else
I've ever seen in my life more than she
celebrated weddings more than she
celebrated making money more than she
celebrated any other pleasure in the
world when it came to the Tora she said
she put on a gown she made a special
meal she started crying from
happiness that gave me strength for the
rest of my
life because at that moment I
knew the tah is the most important thing
in the world
some of us are
older so we didn't have the
childhood of having our parents tell us
that the Torah is the most important
thing in the world when we were 8 years
old but you know what in A's eyes you're
still eight years
old when
completes is coming out and celebrating
and crying in sh and celebrating with
him and his and his daughters
saying look my son is
finishing when the brothers
completed what do you think was doing in
sh with all of
the was dancing and crying because his
two kids it's two kids that converted
just a couple years ago already finished
a few in the they be became part of is
but not just part of by going to some
bed and putting a hat on they became
part of is by going and inheriting and
inquiring the
Tora starts dancing in sh celebrating
the honor and the of the T when every
single one of you comes to not to eat
and not to sleep and not to chitchat
with each other but to come learn T
after a long work day and after a tough
day and after all the problems that you
have and you come and you learn and you
want to become a better Jew a better
person at 9:00 at night at 10:00 at
night 11:00 at night at any other time
because you made the T the number one
thing in your
life stops every single thing he's doing
and he starts celebrating in sham look
at my kids
3,332 years after I gave him the tah
they still made it number one
now you are not too old your children
are even
younger but you have to celebrate the
Torah celebrate the Tora means not just
learn it because you have to celebrate
the Tor doesn't just mean just learn it
because you want to know what to do
celebrate the Tora doesn't mean that you
learn it so you can tell somebody
something that you learn today because
you want to look smart celebrate doesn't
mean that she go say something and
someone says something else to you and
you could have and you could hold a
conversation with a that's not
celebrating
it celebrating the cavod of the Tor
means that every single time you
complete a sh every single time you
learn a every single time you complete a
every single time you complete a every
single time you complete a every single
time you complete the shot itself you
celebrate that day as if you were born
all over again because the reality is
you were you are no longer the same
person as you were a minute before you
completed it you have to celebrate the
Torah and you have to celebrate
exterior you have to make sure that your
kids know that you just completed
another SE we're celebrating look
there's a special meal IMA cooked or we
ordered or we're doing or this and we
have maybe some guests and we're going
to have some candy and a few balloons
and whatever you can doing whatever you
could afford ABA why are we doing this
because ABA just completed another
SE oh wow I want to complete a SE If I
complete a SE can I get a party
yes son what about me ABA I'm a girl yes
yes you too girls too when girls
complete when it's written by the they
complete the separate they get a
party celebrate the Torah not the
but he go oh yeah I can't with my kid is
$40,000 but Mitzvah why why is she
celebrating and she got
older so what every year she's going to
celebrate getting older so the
90-year-old I mean wow he might had a
lot of
parties just surviving the parties is a
miracle what's the benefit of getting
older celebrate acquiring more tah you
completed a SE have a special meal have
a guest have something and show it to
your kids that's what we celebrate in
our house
birthday if you acquire a lot more to
during this year okay that's something
to celebrate but if all you did this
year is sin what's the celebrating we
should celebrate you're still alive and
hm didn't kill you that's a
celebration but acquiring Torah
acquiring
more in your life that's a celebration
son daughter we are going to celebrate
today but but we don't have that much
money you don't need money to cele
celebrate you don't need money to
celebrate do you understand that we have
more of a in our life now why why why do
we have more today than
yesterday what changed Tonight Tonight
changed because we just
completed another we
completed we completed
another we have more AEM in our life we
know a little bit more about
hem and if that's not a reason to
celebrate then you know nothing about
Judaism say why is the say
that
and are the two greatest days in the
world two greatest days y we know
because that's the day forgives us for
our sins but what toat whatat why we
care about
tat
a why we care about Tu so
much thear says the
following on this day the summer
broke and therefore
theim would no
longer take down the trees because they
weren't dry
anymore they weren't dry anymore so it
wasn't worth it to cut them down and
bring them to the BET to
for that we
celebrate now more confused than
before now more confused than
before so we're not even talking about
all the what are we talking about 10 20
30im they used to go cut some wood bring
it to the bet mikdash so they're not
going to cut some wood because they're
not dry anymore because the summer is
over and that makes it the greatest day
of the year
that's the difference that's the
difference between our generation
say and the generation of the bet
mikdash you see in Our Generations we
hear that there's going to be 10 or 20im
that are not going to cut wood and we
have no idea why that's even good we're
thinking already well surely somebody
has to get the wood we're thinking well
are they going to buy it maybe they're
going to raise the money like we're
already thinking economically
financially you know what let's let's
figure out a new plan what are we going
to do with this wood how we going to pay
for it how are they going to survive
we're thinking money money money money
that's what we're thinking lasting in
our mind how is this good oh you know
what it's good oh maybe somebody donated
oh so oh somebody donated oh that's good
why is that such a good day though
why is it
together we have no idea we're
confused and a person that's not GL to
the tat will never understand this
answer never get this answer on their
own you
see explained to
us
that the difference
between our generation and generation of
the bet
mikdash is that they knew what tah
was and they
understood that now that these few quim
not even all the quim just a few of them
10 20 of them are not going to have to
cut the Wood
anymore that's going to give them more
time to learn
Tor that means that there's going to be
10 Kim
10 they're going to learn more Torah for
how long let's say a few more hours a
day we're thinking what's the big deal
okay 10 more people learn another hour
two three hours a
day wow what's a big deal says that's
what you don't understand you don't
understand anything about
Torah the fact that you have 10 more
people learning Torah for a few hours a
day a few hours a week that is a
yto that's a holiday that's the greatest
thing that happened the whole year why
this day is a day that there's a little
bit more AEM in the world a little bit
more of his Torah in the world that's as
good of a yum as it could possibly
be this is what we have to teach
ourselves and teach our
kids it's not that I mind that you waste
your time son it's not that I mind that
you waste your time daughter no it's
that you see with that time you can
learn more about
hasem and bring more of him into the
world more Torah into the world and that
is something we cannot afford to
miss we cannot afford to miss that's why
the Torah is the most celebrated thing
you have to have in your life life you
see when you completed that book when
you completed that you completed that
you completed that three hours
you you brought more AEM to the
world that's a
yto that's a holiday that's
amazing you start him Young by the time
he gets to your age sadik why every day
is yum
every day
y but he can't do it alone the kid she
can't do it alone the kid just to see
it you can send them to the best Isa in
the world but when they come home at
some point and they see you watching TV
guess what that whole Yeshiva goes to
the
garbage you can send him to the best
teacher in the world you can send to
mosu himself
he comes home and you make a bigger deal
about
kou and than you do about t guess what
his whole semester goes in the garbage
he's better off not
learning if you now in the next
conversation on
Shabbat you start talking about some
athlete some movie star some stupid
politician on your sh Shabbat instead of
talking about
mosenu guess what his whole learning her
whole learning goes in the garbage why
because they see ABA and IMA admire
these politicians because they talk
about them on Shabbat they talk about
them during the week they they watch
them they listen to them they read all
of their stupid news they're always
about them but when it comes to mosu
when I came out with my story about what
happened this week in the par and mosu
bed the people they said Okay okay so
D like they didn't care about
my like they didn't care about
my but if so you know what I want to be
a politician you know what I'm going to
be a rich guy because I want my parents
to talk about me they're not interested
in M then
I in fact every time the holidays come
up I was like oh man it's
expensive so I guess he's worried about
money but I guess this Donald Trump guy
keeps talking about he's not worried
about money so you know what instead of
being M I'm going to be Donald
Trump you see is not just about
learning it's about acting a certain way
where you show your kids the honor of T
all the time based on what you
praise says a person is judged based on
what he Praises you praise you're judged
as a
r you
praise and sh they view you as
one why you're not gonna praise
T and do the
opposite you could say words but we're
talking about
actions see the education of our kids
yeah you have to send them to a good
school that has rabbis
with one Rabbi per 25
students boys and girls don't study
together if it's a girl school then it
must have everybody has to be modest if
it's not modest then it's not a
school all of these things you have to
go you have to go to good schools and
all that stuff yeah but school starts at
home too school starts with the parents
school starts with
us everybody's got to take this into
consideration and apply to themselves
first even if you're the kid watching
this you have to apply this to your
yourself why cuz your parents' mistakes
are not going to help you in life either
way you got to do
it you can't see I I didn't go up this
way so I guess I'm excused
wrong no one why you're
alive you're alive you have a brain
you you can do
everything this two will give us the
that we need need to add
Torah from this point on to our everyday
lives because that's the whole point of
tu tu is celebrated because there's more
Torah in the world more Torah in the
world it's such a extraordinary day to
add
Torah that Ys says in the
person does not add Torah to his
learning during Tu meaning starting
Tu may as well die during his mother's
lifetime
is why doesn't want to add more Torah
there no point to
him there's no point to this
guy the sages weren't politically
correct s just told it as it
is we have to understand we need this
submit we may not be able to fulfill
every single thing perfect but we still
need to hear it we still need to know it
why we need to start getting used to
hearing the emit all the time and accept
it as it is why that's Torah and that's
what I want to learn and I'm going to
try to acquire it as it is no sugar
coating no political correctness no
enlightening no reforming no
secularizing and no modernizing I wanted
as as it is why that's the thing that
kept us as a nation everything else is
ruining
us so
today tonight is
two make commitment from now on I'm
going to learn a little bit more so if
you're learning already an hour a day
learn an hour in five minutes learn an
hour in one minute learn an hour two
hours whatever you could do
more whatever you're doing more right
it's too
bad they have more
Torah to show hasem that yeah you know
what maybe I don't really understand
completely what's the big deal that a
few are learning more Torah but since
Hashem since you made it a big deal
that's enough of a reason since you made
it a big enough deal that you actually
have a special day in the
year commemorate for this that's it's
special for you hasem I again it's
special I don't have to understand I
don't have to understand special for
youm special for
me why I love
you this is what we need to
do this is the only defense against the
musculine against these enlighteners
against these reformers against these
modernizers whatever they want to call
themselves we have to fight it with more
k thata starts with us our
kids and it doesn't end with just us and
the kids we have to continue with aem's
kids the rest of the rest of the world
anyone that's willing to learn Torah try
to do whatever you can to send it to
them today you can do for free take this
lecture share
it get some CDs share them get some
movie cards share them take the app the
app is unbelievable
unbelievable app take that app share it
