The Money Test - ERA OF MASHIACH (10)

[Music] we're back here in a uh in aventur Florida doing our era of mashia this is take two since the first one decided to take to his house so we're going to try this again um today sh will be for forat ran Leana B SAR David Ben tal SAR Sak Batar M uhana and also for for sha Ben faran benis gab benis elad benis um and all of especially the ones that invest in with with their money their resources their talent uh all of the good things that they gave them as a gift um bless each and every single one of them and also a very special for Tana so today as I was saying um one of the uh difficult things that um people have a hard time uh learning or fulfilling is truly determining the difference between right and wrong uh it's a one of the most valuable lessons that we're all supposed to learn as little kids but many of us uh only learn the very Basics and many times the the basics that we learned were was based on a biased understanding of whether something is right or wrong you know you sit on your uh parents lap and they tell you do this don't do this don't ever go there don't go there don't put your hand in there and in essence you're supposed to know that uh by the time you get to uh teenager and older you're supposed to have a relatively good grasp on what's the difference between right and wrong the truth is is that the overwhelming majority of people do not know the difference between right and wrong and many that do simply don't care because the right and wrong goes against their own interest and this happens to be one of the poisons that uh hurts a lot of homes today uh where you see young kids were going up growing up fine everything was going well but then one day they uh decide to go off the D they decide that uh they don't want to stay religious and even if they were in a non-religious world they decide to start taking and you know consuming drugs and alcohol and do all types of things that they know are wrong of course sometimes it's because of pure T that desire but many times it's not just a tava that gets a person to do such things especially after they realize these things are not very good for them but simply because of the hypocrisy that they live in you know where they see their parents say one thing but do another they see their teachers say one thing but do another they see their peers do one thing but say another they see the book say one thing but the world doesn't than another and one woman that called me recently that she's a relatively new B I think she's uh maybe only the last several months three four five six months something like that and she was successful in um getting a divorce from a in addition to getting her Jewish children because the is if the woman is Jewish even if the father is not Jewish the children are Jewish so she succeeded in getting her kids to become interested in doing chuva as well and she got them to start learning Tora and over the last several months you see each and every single one of them very very happy with the new T life that they're living but recently she told me that she has a new problem where one of her kids uh decided that he's not really sure if he wants to continue living a Torah Life Learning tah old day doing mitv keeping Shabbat because he saw that his mom failed a test where she had something uh very important on Shabbat and she ended up violating Shabbat because of it and to his understanding there is no permission to violate Shabbat for such a thing and because of this after he saw it he said listen IMA what do I need this life I've already lived 19 years years in this world without keeping Shabbat without eating kosher without all of this why don't I just go hang out with my friends party what do I need to listen to you for what do I need to do all this stuff for and she had a very very big dilemma we've already addressed the Dilemma he's back on course and he's he's doing okay but the point being is why would a kid suddenly leave something he enjoyed why would a kid that kept for 15 20 years all of a sudden s to act like a go drive on Shabbat eat whatever moves whatever doesn't move kosher not koser doesn't make a difference anymore why one of the biggest poisons that we have in the world today is hypocrisy simply the hypocrisy of people where people say one thing and do another the kids of today and I remember myself many years ago that was one of uh the things that would drive me crazy more than anything else where I would see adults say one thing and do another you know an adult will tell you Hey listen don't smoke it's not good for you while he's smoking a cigarette listen don't be like me I'm already addicted to this stuff The Last Place on Earth you want advice from is somebody that's consuming the poison that he says to you to stay away from but it looks enticing you look so cool cool with a cigarette why shouldn't I smoke why cuz you say it's bad but you're smoking if it was so bad why are you doing it are you stupid like you don't understand as a kid you don't have the logic behind it also you don't have the addiction yet you have no idea what does it mean I'm addicted already why cuz you like it that means you're addicted I'll stop I'm I'm I'm stronger than you look my muscles are 32 in what's the what's the problem and that's the thing when a young boy or girl sees the world around them full hypocrisy it makes them want to revolt it makes them want to create something new something better but in the process they destroy everything in sight even if what's in sight is good and this is what's happening in the world today the Jewish World the non-jewish world many many young people are simply looking to destroy everything in front of them because because everything they see they don't like now the truth is they're right in many aspects they're right the vast majority of people whether it be parents leaders teachers rabbis rabot are complete Heretics when it comes to hypocrisy when it comes to telling the truth actually they're seriously just they'll tell you whatever it says in the book but when it comes to their life if it negates their interest it's not for me yeah but you said not to do it listen I'm older than you what so you being on Earth for another two decades makes you at some point you get a certificate that you're allowed to be criminal like what gives explain the rationale behind this and they can't so one of the things that you have to understand is that if you want to teach whether it be your kids your students your peers your family the number one teacher in the world is your actions don't be a hypocrite now in order not to be a hypocrite in order to avoid being a hypocrite there's a few things that you need to have number one you have to have when it comes to Judaism strong enough to overcome your own desires not just their desires it's very easy to tell somebody hey Shabbat GNA get death penalty you have no and you're the one that keeps Shabbat so you're talking about him you have no problem telling him he has no he's going to gain no they're going to rip him apart why because you're figure you're safe you're safe so it's easy to tell him about his punishments easy I can do it all day very easy to tell the guy listen you go out with the Goya you go out with the go you're going to do this this and that easy why cuz you're already married two three kids with a Jewish woman easy to rebuke the world and tell them they're all wrong cuz you're right but that's not rebuke rebuke is to be able to rebuke yourself first and to be able to tell the truth first when it comes to you now when you're going to give advice to other people you have to make sure that you're not being a hypocrite that's where the says who among us could actually rebuke anymore it wasn't saying Shalom that the mitvah of rebuke is being cancelled anyone that says that there's no longer a permission to rebuke in the world or the rebuke is no longer and that's that's applicable to today is 100% a that you cannot count in aan why because there's 13 there's 13 principles of Faith one of them being is that the Torah will never change meaning not a single Mitzvah will ever change so anyone that says that this Mitzvah is no longer applicable okay you could go to the next store there's a church it's really big you won't miss it why there's no such thing as a toret changing no no such thing as Torah changing now the fact that you may not want to rebuke because it's uncomfortable it's kind of unsettling gets you into arguments maybe makes you angry maybe makes you emotional and so on okay it's a different story that will deal with in a moment but to say that the rebuke is no longer no you can't do such thing but the most important thing when it comes to rebuking is to rebuke yourself first because if you're only going to rebuke about what they have a problem with that's not necessarily rebuke in fact it may Simply Be ego of you just liking to tell people what to do so the problem that we have today is that many times people have no problem whatsoever in rebuking the public and their children and their peers about things that they're good at oh you know have to drive on Shabbat because you're not driving so it's easy for you to say that oh you know have to go to clubs because you're already old and gray you don't go to clubs anymore but when you were my age you used to go so now he's saying you're not allowed to go but you used to go so how you going to explain that are you going to tell him that you were a fool are you going to tell him that you were a loser and you fell for the you tell him no no but you don't understand I once you start with the excuses go go somewhere else maybe the guy from the church is waiting for you also you can't be a hypocrite you got to tell people listen over here I won over here I lost over here I was right over here I was wrong what second you are a hypocrite everything that comes out of your mouth simply is better off in the garbage why the kids of today are simply not going to be receptive to you they're not going to be receptive to you they don't want to hear you whether they're your kids or they your t or they're your neighbors or whoever they are they're not going to listen to you why you're a hypocrite you told me don't drive but you're driving you told me don't drive fast but you're driving faster you you told me don't go but you already live there what gives unless you have a valid explanation that even I a 16 Ye Old can understand don't bother me and that's the problem first and foremost we have to understand we cannot be Hypocrites we have to do what we say and when we fail we have to admit it second thing is you have to have you have to have you have to have fear of hem in order to over become your own and not fail especially when it comes to the big sins when it comes to morality or in Street language sexuality because a lot of people don't us think morality is business only morality most of the time more times than not means the issues between men and wom if you're going to fail don't give anybody an advice if you're divorced three times don't give anyone any marriage advice maybe you can give divorce advice not marriage advice obviously you're not good at it don't give anyone your your pep talk after your fifth divorce no one's interested and if they are they're just fooling you because they feel bad they're being politically correct yeah yeah wow you're so good wow you know you have a lot of experience what you have five weddings so how much you probably know the prices by now by heart which is the best haul out of all five don't give anyone advice when give advice on things you're good at and most importantly don't lie don't embellish and don't be a hypocrite again I'm mentioning it why you do it everything that you said that was good now becomes bad why you a hypocrite than one thing you hypocrite in one thing I can't trust anything else you say now to do all of this you have to have you have to have serious fear of hem and that fear of hem is not just fear of the punishment and the Gory details that we discuss from time to time of this chamber and that chamber and all of these other things no it's not just that it's fear of failing the test of right and wrong it's fear of being on the wrong side for a very long time too long to the point where you got used to the wrong and you've made it right and that's what happens sometimes people go on the wrong path initially because they're maybe they don't know or they're just nonchalant about it they don't care so much like ah whatever one time I'm going to go to this one place next thing you know it's six times next thing you know it's three months in a row next thing you know it's three years then they realize their whole life is falling apart as a result of their mistakes and they want to change but now they're addicted like the smoker they're addicted like the other other types of addicts they're addicted to the sin it's hard for them to leave all my boys are here all my girls are here everybody likes me here I make good money here all the stuff my stuff is that it's my stuff how do I leave my stuff it's mine I built this place you got addicted to the sin and you justify it at that point and Sal person starts living a life of wrong and that's why says someone says I'll make sin and then I'll do I know it's not good but I'll do later I'll make a s here they do chv why I heard from RAB ruin over here he said you can do chva no matter what as long as you're alive you can do chv so I know it's wrong but one time Rabbi one time I was going to one time watch this movie one time I'm going to hang out with this girl one time I'm going to go with this boy one time I'm going to take a little money one time one time no one time hasm has so much to do one time says the punishment for such a mentality is that hasem makes that one time final time meaning you no longer have a desire to do chuva after that now of course K is much more merciful than I could ever be and he allows people to do Chua but nonetheless it's not easy it's not easy at all why you made a joke of the system and therefore says I'm not going to help you do cha you want to do cha you're on your own no help no from and anyone that has actually done real Chua and knows how hard it is to leave the bad that you're addicted to doesn't want to have such a punishment most people if they're in the beginning of their stages of chuva they still don't know what chuva really is yet because you haven't given up all the bad stuff cuz you haven't really realized yet all the stuff you're doing is bad yet so in the beginning it's like oh what's such a big deal well if you've done serious trar for several years you've given up a lot of things you've made a lot of sacrifices for the good for the for the better of but nonetheless still sacrifice still pain and Agony you hear such a things like oh Rabbi talk about Gom it's easier right such a such a punishment where is not going to accept my no no I don't want it's too much too much I have to do TR again too much it's too hard so it's important for us to never be Hypocrites to always say the always live by the even if it's contrary to our desires but more importantly than anything else it's critical for us to know the difference between right and wrong because that's one of the things that people simply don't do they don't investigate what's right and wrong they just simply determine it on their own they Define right and wrong this looks right so therefore I do it this looks wrong therefore I do it but the truth is is that a human being cannot consistently be correct in his own determination of right and wrong why at some point you'll become biased at some point that decision will be something that you're influenced by K Shalom coin the head of the sh in is when he was given the position of being the head after the head of the Shas The he was given a driver the driver you know very big position head of the in essence most of the religious people in Israel his decision make an impact in all of Judaism around the world big sadik big needs to have a driver he can't waste time parking driving no need do big things very normal on the first day comes out of his house and he says right over here goes who are you who are you he says uh I'm your driver ed sent me to you and uh I'm your driver just go home go home I don't need you you're fired the poor guy the poor guy went to uh R edri and um he uh says to him uh listen I got fired what do I doed what do I do and uh he says let me call the see what happened maybe he didn't like you maybe this maybe that so calls shom and uh he says to him what happened why why did you fire the driver you didn't like him this that he goes he says Al listen to me I don't want any favors from you I don't want you to give me a driver and I don't want you to give give me anything because I want to make sure that when push comes to shove and I have to rebuke you for something that you're doing wrong I have nothing that's making me bias we're both on the same team trying to do something good but most importantly the tah is the one that's going to lead us you suddenly give me a driver and I would say you know what AR wasn't really right when he said such and such he wasn't really right when he said why says otherwise but you know what if I say something to he's going to take away my driver he's going to take away Mya he's going to take away this he's GNA take away that yeah I don't want any favors I don't want anything that's going to distort my Torah in my head and my ability to rebuke you so in order to really truly be somebody that is going to be able to practice the right and wrong and never be a hypocrite you have to prepare ahead not only learning to knowing knowing what's right and wrong but you have to prepare ahead and know what certain things that are going to come in your way but the most important thing is the acknowledgement that right and wrong cannot be determined by you right and wrong can only be determined by an unbiased party and the only unbiased party that exists in the world is a himself he is the only one that can tell you right or wrong allowed not allowed yes or no and to know what says we go to the Torah we go to the Tor to see what Tor says T says this D says that that's what we do now when a person does that in the beginning it's a little difficult why because in essence the first reality check is that you're opinion doesn't count yeah but I want to go well it doesn't matter you want to go yeah but I want to do well it doesn't matter what you want to do to says no so in the beginning it's a little difficult why because it destroys your ego you no longer say you know a what do you think of this and what do you think of that you start looking at things based on is this allowed or is this not allowed you no longer think oh I'm going to do this this you start thinking with can I do this you no longer think I'm going to go there you start thinking can I go there is it allowed to go there and once you start accepting D into your life initially you get that shock of your life where your ego gets destroyed but little by little you get used to it and eventually you realize it's simply a present from sham why all of your decisions were already made for you you don't have to think should I shouldn't I you don't have to think any of that why allowed not allowed what doesm want over here what does want over here and it makes life much easier in the long run now if a person can live such a strict discipline to the Torah their life will be GED in this world where does the tough times begin when we don't want to live like that we want to live like that sometimes most of the time but not all the time most of the time when it's easy Rabbi I'll do it but you know when it gets hard you know Rabbi it's hard you know easy Shabbat keep it every day every day kulture easy business no problem but you know when it comes to the girls you know when it comes to the shows when it comes to the money it's a little harder no no no my friend if it's it's all the time but in order to do that you have to be scared not just of the gay and the punishment no it's not just that there's a bigger greater fear that you should have of being wrong being on the side of wrong not the side of right because being on the side of wrong means that you're just simply on the wrong direction and you may never come back and unfortunately too many thought that no I'm going to do this wrong for a little while and then I'll come back and it just never happens no drug addict in the world ever thought he was going to be a drug addict no one aspires to be a drug addict no one says at 8 years old why I can't wait till I do Lines no one has says wow I can't wait I can't wait to start snorting wow it's going be so amazing once I'm 18 yeah wow oh at 12 maybe no one does that the first time the guy takes a puff of some marijuana or some other poison he doesn't think I'm going to be addicted to crack in a few years he doesn't think like that the first time he takes a drink at 9 10 11 years old his dumb father gives him a drink says oh he's just a kid he's having a drink no it's for fun for fun yeah for fun your kid's going to be an alcoholic in 3 years your kid's going to be an Al what no what do you mean he's only 9 years old yeah I know somebody became an alcoholic at 9 years old he's still struggling with it he's 55 he started at 9 who gave him his drink his brother no what's a big deal no one ever thinks that it's going to get to a point where you're on the wrong side for permanently not even an extended period of time no one thinks like that and that's also the same thing in business the rash burning ma off that stole billions of dollars and even more so the livelihood of many people on Wall Street no one ever thought that this guy is such a bad guy why didn't anybody double check more and everyone just simply chased him with money because he was doing business with the government he was on the board of directors of the self-regulatory system of the industry meaning that The Regulators were afraid of regulating him because he was part of The Regulators no one questioned this guy why he is on the right team so how could he being on the right team do wrong more than everybody else no one questioned it but after he got caught and made an enormous that they simply there's simply no way to do cha for him until he dies after that when they got a story the only thing that he said honestly is that he didn't mean to do it when he first started out he started out with good intentions and I believe him on that everything else is a lie because the vast majority of scams start with good intentions I didn't mean to do it I just meant to do this one thing and it got too far I lost over here so I figured if I lie a little bit then I can make up for it and I'll even give them a bonus and it didn't work out so the LIE got bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger before you know it it's too much to fix he never thought he's going to steal $50 billion and Destroy hundreds and hundreds of families he never thought that some of his clients who he called his friends too would commit suicide because of him he never thought that his own son would commit suicide because of him he never thought what it's just business a few people give me money and that's it he never thought that so much wrong could happen from a small wrong decision that was technically planned to be temporary just a couple of weeks ago a young man in El decided to take advantage of a religious woman that I know and stole three ,000 from her now to some of you seems like a lot of money to some of you maybe not to her a ton of money in fact it was all she had and he told her that he's going to do such and such service for her that she needed and if she doesn't pay him the money then he's just going to throw out our file and put everything in Jeopardy that she worked for and so on and so forth and put a lot of stress on her and she said well I can't pay the whole thing he said listen I'll just take $500 from your card okay fine she gave him the card number she signs an agreement and what does he do takes a lot more than $500 cleans out our bank account $3,000 gun she calls all of a sudden not available she calls all of a sudden we'll get back to you gun emails unanswered she feels so horrible that she not only doesn't have the money that she had that she needs but on top of that that someone took advantage of her that betrayal that feeling of being being violated now many people have stolen from me over the years so I know how it feels and I don't know how many things are worse than that but nonetheless this guy when he took the money what did he think okay it's a little wrong that I'm going to do right with I'll pay her back at some other point I'll make up for it by doing good this and I'll do that he didn't mean to kill anybody he didn't mean to hurt anybody he didn't mean to do any of that stuff he just m I need the money she hasn't that's it what's the problem he didn't know exactly how much she has on her account he didn't know how she's going to react to it well he is likely not watching this but in shamayim they are and they're watching him and right now he's decreed a murderer why but because of all of the anxiety that he caused this poor woman she started bleeding and ended up having a late miscarriage and had to go to the hospital emergency service because of a hemorrhage to the extent where she almost died herself she didn't but this guy that wanted to do a little wrong to hopefully do a little right later on right now he doesn't realize he's a murderer and that's sometimes what we don't think about that our little decisions and our violation of the right and wrong could be simply too big to fix and if it is possible to fix it it'll take a whole lot more now has been teaching us week after week the critical message that at the end of days those teachers those shepherds are not going to be reliable enough for us to learn right and wrong from as we've learned many times the Z says that most of the rabbis and leaders in the world at the end of days at time of mashia when we find ourselves today are going to be part of the this is what the Z said a few thousand years ago this is what thear says 1700 years ago this is what the have said many many times throughout the last couple thousand years and nonetheless this is what we've learned from every single week for the last three months the vast majority of leaders rabbis in the last generation are not only not going to be reliable to learn right and wrong from but they're actually going to be on the wrong side themselves as the and we've spoken against them many times and we'll continue to not because it's pleasurable not because we like it in fact I hate it but because as a conversation went with between me and another when he asked me listen I get it what you're saying is true these people are bad people whether it be Manis or Ephraim or the other people they're bad people I get it but why do you have to mention the names like why could you just say such rabbi did such and such bad like you don't have to say the name you can just say this is bad why can't you just do that and I told him because sometimes you can have an entire Shi discussing something bad this is bad that's bad this is horrible this is a criminal this is a criminal and someone's watching you the criminal is watching you and he agrees with everything you say you're right wow W that guy what you talking about he's horrible horrible he doesn't realize you're talking about him the criminal doesn't know he's you're talking about him because he's thinking yeah it's probably somebody behind me it's probably somebody else in the room maybe he's not even here definitely not talking about me why he thinks he's a sadik he thinks what he's doing is right he cannot be talking about me that's our predisposition we don't think that the rebuke is about us but the reality is the rebuke first and foremost is about us now what happens with the audience today and every other time even at the time of mhu is that you can speak about something bad for three hours straight and you could tell him that such and such Rabbi is a bad he's doing bad and everything is bad and the audience will agree with you but never do the calculation in their own head that it's their Rabbi they're thinking it's somebody else's rabbi why because if it's my Rabbi that means that it's not just my Rabbi is wrong it means that I'm wrong cuz I chose him as my Rabbi there's no way I'm wrong I'm coming to at 10:00 at night how could I be wrong I go to a I go to I have I have this I have that I do so many we automatically don't think that we're wrong so unless you tell people outright this guy's a r they don't get it and unfortunately even after you tell them many still don't get it why they themselves are victim of this rash to the point where they themselves do not know the difference between right and wrong because they still think that right and wrong is based on your own definition and not the definition of the Divine not the definition of a himself they think that they can determine right wrong and that's the problem soan has told us time and time again that we have to learn from the right people avoid the wrong people but most importantly follow the right way ourself because if we don't follow the right way it doesn't matter who your teacher is you're not going to go to to Heaven because your teacher is a big Rabbi that's a tadik you're not going to go to heaven because your father's a rabi that's a bigad you're not going to go to heaven because your mother is a bigad that does a lot of it won't work that way you're only going to go to heaven for your own actions now has told us that before we determine who we're going to learn from who we're going to read their books where we're going to invest our time and money and so on and so forth we have to already come with skepticism we cannot simply just take everything at face value we have to ask questions we have to make sure we have sources and so on and so forth now in the last several weeks has told us that according to the prophets the biggest reason of why has not done Chua yet is because of the Shepherds but now he continues and he says that for all of those people that are going to say listen I had a bad Rabbi so it's not my fault right so he quotes he quotes Amos chapter 9 verse number 10 andos says says they will perish By The Sword all the Sinners of my people those who say not because of us will the evil approach any sooner the prophet Amos says a prophecy not just for his time as the says had over 1.2 million prophets throughout the ages but only 55 of them are mentioned in the tanak only 55 why only 55 says because only 55 had the Merit that whatever they said is permanent is something that for all generations meaning that anything that's written in the tanak is for you and not just the generation that he spoke to 2 3,000 years ago now Amos says the following he says that all of these Sinners which Sinners says the Sinners before mashia comes all of those Sinners they'll Die By The Sword they'll Die By The Sword why why the sin is going to die by the sword because they were nonchalant about the problem they say listen what hem cares about mybat Hashem cares about my this and my that what does HM care about this stuff what it's my fault that there's Corona in the world it's my fault that there's pedophilia it's my fault that there is uh you know people stealing no whatever I'm doing my thing I'm doing my wrong and my right you guys do whatever you worry about you the prophet Amos says no no my friend you thinking that you could just simply do whatever you want you can support the bad people you could be one of those bad people that alone is going to bring bad to the world now continues commented on this verse in the name of the that the decree of Death By The Sword give gave place to one of poverty meaning that before the msia comes poverty will be Rife in isra as the prophet was a later Prophet who says in a chapter 3 verse number 12 and I will leave in your midst a humble and destitute people and they will take shelter in the name of hem so the prophets are telling us that before mhia comes Sinners are going to die by the sword meaning by the war of go Magog where the Prophet Zar discusses details horrible horrible details of the last war where two-thirds of the world die in a very short period of time and the last third are also tested uh tested and refined who calls it refining them like you refine gold and silver meaning it's not going to be easy for anyone that wants to see mashia it's not going to be just a walk in the park it's going to be a very difficult time but nonetheless the wicked he says the wicked will die in that war the wicked will die in that war by the sword but the says not before they get warning what warning poverty where the generation before mashia is going to become very very poor destitute to the point where everyone has to make a choice and the prophet says that yes I'm going to make everyone poorm says going to make everyone poor but then what happens some will go to hasem meaning that this poverty is not a punishment if you will but rather another tool that AOS will use in order to get to do CH because many times money is the tool that the Satan uses in order to keep you away from Hashem and to keep you away from chuva many times you see that big people in a Jewish world make bad choices or perhaps are not vocal about other people's bad choices whether it be the gay parades or it be uh the all types of uh you know things that are going against AEM and people ask why why isn't the why aren't the biggest rabbis screaming foul over here why aren the biggest rabbis doing something about it now many many times it's simply they don't know many times they have their Messengers don't tell them because the messenger is afraid of money what money loss of donations to the and the and different things recently there was a horrific decision made by a major Jewish organization to protect a group of wicked rabbis why because if they don't protect then they'll lose the support of another big Jewish organization and they're afraid of if they lose the Jewish organization support they'll lose donations the truth is once your decisions start depending on whether you'll get donations or not you should hang your hat retire and go become I don't know an auto salesman go sell Q-tips to hotel chains go clean carpets be a babysitter don't run any organization especially not a Jewish one why when it comes to Judaism your interest cannot be the motivating issue here now you could say yeah but if I lose donations it's not my interest to get hurt many many people are going to get hurt yeah but many people getting hurt is a possibility it's a possibility that if let's say you don't get the support of such and such uh organization many people maybe maybe they won't support maybe not but you making the right the wrong decision and supporting the wicked people that's for sure many people are going to get hurt that's a certainty so once the donations become your motivating factor for your decision process then you should change your Articles of Incorporation add a new member of directors who Benjamin Franklin yeah but he died no no no he's alive in your life he's alive and well and he's running it he's running the whole organization if your whole organization runs based on your you know based on money and donations you should retire why we can no longer trust your decision-making process you're biased now one of the things that Hashem is going to do us a favor with before mashia officially comes as the says in page 997a and that benid the mashiah is not going to come until the generation is poor until there is literally poverty poverty to the point where he says that even the last penny in the pockets of people will disappear now the continues says and he says those whose riches are still in their possession let them not take comfort in vain fancies that their wealth will endure with them indefinitely for the Jewish people will be left like an empty vessel before mashia comes had they but sense in their heads surely they would know now how to make use of this money while there's still yet time says you know there are some people that they're already struggling even before Corona they were struggling today they're simply starving a lot of lot of people like that unfortunately but then there's a lot of people especially here in America that not only they're not struggling they're doing great some of them even made money from this Corona situation some of them even made money because of how the market is volatile and so on some are okay some lost but they're still doing fantastic some made a ton or have a ton where even after a loss of 10 20 30% of their money they still have a lot says to those people you have riches you think that those riches are going to help you before comes why because you bought a house in Israel or two or three or a building or two you think that's going to help you he says to specifically tells us clearly not to take any comfort in if in our wealth because it won't endure not only it won't endure past our life can't take it to but even if you live at the generation of mashiach for sure it won't endure because the gar already told us and the prophets already said a promise from hasem what's the promise you're going to go broke how much did you make 10 million it's GNA be zero no no no I me 100 million zero what do you mean you tell me that uh the guy from Vegas that has 50 60 70 billion zero zero before Masia comes if he survives zero zero who's going to have money well according to Tor nobody nobody maybe there'll be some prote few which we'll discuss in a moment but generally speaking zero why that's one of the tests to all of those people that are worried oh listen I'm saving for a rainy day I'm saving for retirement and so on and so for says you fool do something useful with this money while it's still here while you have something while you have the ability to utilize this money to do something with it do something with it now don't just think that Gathering a bigger and bigger bank account and in today's world that's not even money anymore it's just numbers on a screen at least in the old days people could have a way to you know uh enjoy their pleasure of their uh their uh of money by actually having something tangible something physical today nobody has that unless you're a drug dealer nobody carries a has a safe full of cash even the banks don't what do you think that you deposited $10,000 in the bank the bank actually keeps your money in the bank the second you give it to them they send it somewhere else it doesn't stay in the bank if you want to take a big money out of a bank today like more than you know the usual amount you want to take $50 $100,000 of a bank you have to make an appointment why they don't have the money what do you mean but I gave him the 50,000 last week yeah 30 seconds later that they got out of the bank what do you mean what's the bank for nothing really just show face yeah why is such a big Bill I thought that in the back there's a big save yeah that's just just for show it's like the movies there's no money in the safe nothing zero little little change they have because it takes a lot of room the real money digital it's on a computer you want cash we have to order it like you order paper from Staples and you order cups from Amazon and maybe a few chairs from Costco they have to ow the cash how much do you want you want 100,000 sir okay come on Wednesday at 10:00 what do you mean but it's it's it's Thursday it's going to take yeah yeah it's going to take a few days Corona the guy that was counting the cash he uh he's got Corona sir it's going to take him a week what do you want it's going to take a while why we don't carry cash cash is on a computer that makes it even more easy to Simply disappear not that hasem needs any help but for us to understand how it could all simply just dissipate no matter what amount of money you have it's much easier to understand back then when there was no digital currency you know 100 years ago you say listen the Rothchilds they have billions of dollars the Carnegie billions of dollars these families billions and billions of dollars they actually had the money they had saves in different places I used to live my house in in in New York I used to live in a building that used to be called the house of Morgan the house of Morgan meaning the house of JP Morgan and initially he bought this place and he buil it two stories why to show people how much money he had he just built a small little place to show him he's going to waste all of this airspace eventually they built it and it became the the headquarters of JP Morgan and became a 40 story building but the point being is that one of the great things about that building is that all of the tunnels underground connected to the building were still there so we would give tours to different guests we have and show them look this is the tunnel this is the tunnel what's the tunnels for behind the wall you know right now it's a fancy wall little Posh wall that some designer uh painted or something in reality you kick this thing and it goes to a train track why does it have train track cuz JP Morgan knew that if anybody wants to come and attack him he has the train tracks already ready to get all of his gold and money out of the building in 15 different ways why cuz the money is really here and you had safes and all types of compartments and secret places in this building why cuz they actually had the money today none of that stuff exists It's All Digital and those days you would think wait how could all of them lose money to to fulfill this prophecy it has to be something miraculous something Supernatural that's going to burn everybody's money the whole world has to be destroyed but how could it be today it's even easier because of how the world has changed it's easier to understand how it could all dissipate in a second simply one virus by one of these crazy people that decides to uh be a superhero just destroys currency one second or better yet decide the current that electricity doesn't work anymore why he decides no electricity it's a million and a half different ways infinite amount of ways that hasem has but the point I'm trying to bring home here is that for you to understand that for the balance sheet of the entire planet to all be equal meaning all of us have the same amount of balance of zero is definitely possible and actually easy easy why do we need to know that because the more we understand how real this is the more we understand how real the rest of this stuff is now the says to all of the people that have a nice balance sheet currently and he says don't have don't place too much comfort in your wealth because it won't endure and he tells them to use this money while there's still time what does it mean to use this money why buy more houses how many houses can you live in buy more cars how many cars can you drive the more cars you drive the less likely you ought to drive at all the more cars you own more likely you don't actually drive anymore you have a driver you know the people that you uh see oh yeah this guy's got 15 cars yeah he doesn't drive at all he has a driver so why does he have the cars for a show for TV or something why he can't drive anymore why if he somebody's going to kidnap him and take the car and the money I spoke to a a guy the other day very very wealthy he's got dozens dozens of properties dozens I don't think I've ever felt bad for anybody as much as I feel bad for this guy I don't know exactly how much money he has but he definitely has the dozens of millions maybe a hundred million or more he has ton of money no end all he has is money poorest guy I've ever met what is his life he said he doesn't leave the house because he's constantly scared that someone's going to kidnap him it's got 100 million a plus but he doesn't leave the house doesn't leave the house why scared somebody's going to kidnap him why it happened once happened once he got kidnapped for 28 days didn't see light so imagine $100 million but you're not allowed to leave the house why you're scared to death better off to be homeless at least you live outside see some people seriously miserable nightmare that's life now many people take comfort in their wealth they say listen I have all this money I have all this this says it's a mistake you have to invest your money but where where do you invest your money was an investment adviser was he licensed with the series 7 63 was he an options principal he was he on wall Street's what's what's what is he investing in continues and he says 20 years have passed since the uttered these words for us it's 100 years 110 years and now they have come true in their entirety in regards to the majority of the Jewish people the prophesies such a state as it says in page 997a the son of David shall not come until put ceases from the purse meaning that there will not be a single penny in the purse so here tells us first the prophecy then he tells us how the confirmed it and then tells them I'm seeing it happen when in my own day at the time right before the Holocaust the na simply took everything that the Jewish people had paintings buildings businesses bank accounts hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars or billions of dollars worth of gold and jewelry and precious coins and so on and so forth till this day till this day there's anorm amount of stuff that was taken from the Jewish people and never returned till this day and the truth is is that all of the people that lost the money they weren't poor people a lot of them were rich people that's the people that lost the most were the richest people which were also the people that felt the most secure against the Nazis they figured that if the Nazis end up being as bad as people say they are I'll just pay them off like if these amalik end up being what people think they are and conspiring they are what they are then whever they come to let's go no no no hey Mr Nazi nice to meet you hold on one second here I prepared for you a nice check and a suitcase here you go you know what the Nazis did they took the check they took the suitcase and everything else and you still went to the [Music] train why that was the prophecy that's what decreed all of those that felt comfortable in their own skin because of whatever wealth gave them realized that that wealth did not buy them as much power as they had the day before did not buy them the freedom that they thought they're going to have in fact in many cases they did the exact opposite many times the rich people were killed first so the prophet Amos says the in chapter8 that before mashia comes before mashia comes there's going to be a certain type of poverty but not your normal type of poverty but rather he says that people are going to be very very poor but not poverty for money Poverty of uh resources like that but rather poverty for and the rovic says we don't understand he says that these the days are coming these horrific days are coming that there will be that there's not going to be a hunger for for bread not for water but rather to hear the words of hem now this is a prophecy not for his day this is a prophecy for us before mhia comes so P say well I don't understand why is hearing aem's word a poverty if anything why is why is the prophet saying there's going to be a poverty there's going to be a hunger but a salvation but for AEM like why is it described that way why shouldn't it be said oh there going to be a lot of desire for it people going to love it people going to do Chua like why is he describing it as a bad thing like starving is not a good thing try it a few times doesn't work out so well it's a fast coming in a week how long's the fast RAB I'm pregnant can I stop what do you mean pregnant you're a guy yeah my wife is you know you said Rabbi no like I'm like my wife no I see my wife eating all the time well I can't eat either so the rovic says why is there a description by the prophet Amos that there's going to be a starvation before mashia comes for for the words of hasem and he says I only understood this P after I saw and heard what happened in the Holocaust so you see in the Holocaust everybody was the same you a billionaire a day before didn't make a difference you wearing the same horrible clothes one outfit for 10 years no showers no food no privacy no Freedom no nothing seeing dead people around you suffering anguish and pain 24 hours a day even if yesterday you owned a building and had 5,000 employees today you are the same with your employee no difference and now the starvation in the Holocaust says was so horrible most people didn't die from getting shot most people died from starvation where if you found the peel of a potato the peel of the potato not the potato the peel of the potato that most of you don't eat the peel of the potato that was a Madan that was like a dessert that was like wow you're rich what happened to your selective and delicate taste or how you were able to decipher this steak is that type of steak this meat is that type of meat this fish is that type of fish the day before someone gave you a dish no no no it's it's not hot enough no no it's not enough salt no no put a little pepper on this one no no no put this one another five minutes heat it up for a lot of five minutes no no no make me the tea but don't burn the tea yesterday you had a delicate taste you were able to decipher a wine that came from this country or that country now you're celebrating cuz you found a peel of a potato says that's when I understood this P you see when there was F among is all the delicate taste was gone at the time before mashia there's going to be a starvation of Torah because the shepherds are going to be the vast majority of the people are going to be it's not going to be real Torah in the world so the generation is just going to settle for whatever they can find some guys promoting Christian missionaries to come to yell let's go another guy says that his RAB Masia even though he died 30 years ago yell let's hear him say the other guy says there's no more judge there's no more jury even though it's against the T when can you come to my sh another guy calls the guy M from London just the other day gave us a another from London the head Rabbi of London he gave a according to him were all mentally ill according to on a video he says they mentally ill mentally ill according to y when we you put a video on it what that's the Torah we have that's the we have no the guy wants to bring Christian missionaries you want to bring Arabs to your in Canada y let's do it the Christian Missionary wants to come what could you teach me byos he was a Jew wasn't we have that in common says that generation before mashia is going to be so poor that the Torah they're going to get is going to be like the peel of a potato they're going to settle for anything that's where we're at you have a lot of speakers that say a lot of speeches but unfortunately when it comes to results how many are actually bringing people closer to Hashem how many people how many people actually getting am to eat food right now food right now it's Corona virus people are already struggling before Corona virus they didn't have food for the holidays how many people cared enough to give from their own pocket tell their Kaa yes now I know your business is shut down but you still got a half a million in the bank give me 50,000 so I can feed some people in America or feed some people in Israel feed some people in some place yeah I know you're losing money but that's uh losing money to you is not the same thing as losing money that he doesn't have a job for 9 months already how many people care about to make sure to go keep doing the work not many not many some yes but not many why self-interest bias hypocrisy and countless other reasons countless other reasons says the generation before mashia is going to settle for whatever they could possibly find you have a generation says where people settle for putting a string on their hand and they think that's the Torah that's going to protect me from from from bad things I'll put a red string on my hand and that's it or a guy that he comes to sh once or twice kisses a several t 500 times like it's his wife he doesn't know that the seph that he's kissing says that he deserves death penalty for all the sins he just made that day but he thinks he's religious now he thinks he's okay now because he kissed the seph he says people going to settle for that type of Torah they're going to kiss the SE and they think that's it I'm a Jew I kiss the SE I donated 5,000 to the besset I donated a million dollar to the besset yeah but the million dollar was stolen no no I made it fair and square yeah you made it in a casino or you made it in an illegitimate business either way it's stolen people going to settle for this type of Life thinking what but I still went to sh yeah that's the peel of the potato why I donated yeah that's the peel of the potato yeah but I listened to the sh T if it was one of these Wicked speakers that are roaming around the world worse than Corona that's the peel of the potato to get the real potato the real food the real things you got to work harder in fact you need a miracle you must need a miracle because most people have a very hard time seeing wrong for wrong and right for right primarily because when they see that the wrong is them that they're benefiting from the wrong that they are the one that's wrong that they are supporting wrong automatically their bias sensors go up like okay how do I make this right what do you mean it's a pig even if you put lipstick on it it's still a pig you can't make it right it's wrong this home mentality of how do we make wrong right there's just no such thing in order for it to be right if it start as wrong you got to break it and make something new which means just start something new but that's the thing if it hurts your pocket if it hurts your Fame if it hurts your fortune if it hurts all of these things that's when people fail big people and small people alike unfortunately and this is going to be the test that every single one of us is going to have to face before mashia comes now the question is though what was the talking about when he said that those that already have a little bit of money 5,000 500,000 5 million 500 million whatever the amount is if they knew what's good for them if they had any sense in their head meaning if they use their common sense they would know how to make use of their money while they're still time now thear says in page 7A if one sees that he's losing money he should make it into meaning you lost $3,000 what you should do most people say oh you should pray for to give you back the money you should go ask the rabbi why did such a thing happen to you maybe you could do a tun come on already give you an answer so you lost money okay so GI like a shouldn't it be the opposite Rabbi like if you make money you give you give you give once you make money says the opposite surely once you make money you have the obligation to give M you have the obligation to give even if you don't have a lot of money every Jew has to give every year at least if you make an income you give no problem but this is not what we're talking about here this is we're talking about somebody didn't make money in fact he lost money she lost money and says you lost money go give so what's theat what's the the husband of this woman that lost the $3,000 he gave me theot on this he G me the on this what did he say so oh we just lost $3,000 I said oh goes what right away I took money whatever I had I started giving Sak says that's what the says give give S I said what's theat what do you mean you just lost money shouldn't you like uh hasem took it get get get it back pray for it something I don't know what what do you mean you just G you lost money you're giving more he says yeah why he says because Hashem is telling you I took the money because you sinned with money I took the money because maybe you didn't give enough I took the money because maybe you didn't make it the right way I took the money because of such and such reasons that hasem has an infinite amount you want to show me that you understand that it's me that took the money and not the guy from some company and not the customer that raged on a trade and not the customer that didn't want to buy but he said he wanted to buy and you already bought the goods but then he doesn't want to buy them not those PE no no it's not him that took the money it's me that took the money says you want to show me that you getting the message once I take the money you tell me I know you took the money not by saying Hashem I know you took it thank you no no you got to show me you know how you show me you know whatever you have go start giving give give give whym I know all the money is from you and I know you took the money so you know what to show you I know I'm going to give some more money this defies our logic this is the opposite of human logic our logic is once I make more I'm going to give more a million and a half times a week I hear listen I would give more if I had more I wish I had more can I pray can you pray for me to win the lotto I promise Rabbi listen if I win a lot I'm giving you my I'm giving you 20% at least Rabbi reminds me of the joke one guy comes to Rabbi says Rabbi listen pray for me to win the lotto pray for me to win the lotto the guy prays prays prays nothing happens same guy goes to the church says listen Reverend pray for me to win the lot two days later he went the lot buys a fancy car he's with his friend and he passes a neighborhood and he passes the synagogue and he passes the uh the church and he starts laughing and his friend says why you laughing says cuz the Jewish god knew I was lying to the Christian I'm not going to give anything I people say I'm going to give if I win a lot I'll have more if I make this deal I'm going to give I'm gonna give says to you no no it's not just if I give you more you give more you have to know that it's already me that's giving you and it's already me that's taking from you says to the prophet mine is the money and mine is the gold says God the master of Legions everything is mine if you lost you give staka if you made you give staka why because by that you you're showing that you know where the money is coming from and you know who's taking it and who's giving it that's where thear says that when a person sees that he lost money he should make for him some now that the mid in Ecclesiastes says that if you givea make sure it's for those who toil in Torah say why toil in Torah whether it's people toiling Torah in a or toiling in Torah by publicizing Torah doing kiru and so on just do that is why says because those people fulfilling the whole purpose of creation surely you know Hashem didn't create the Heaven and the Earth all of the different chemicals in the world all of the different rules that this world has whether it be gravity or the amount of oxygen in the world and so on and so forth all of the different faces males and females with bodies that are look alike but are very different personalities that sound alike but very different all different matches all different personalities all different fingerprints all different fruits all different colors all different shapes he didn't make all of these things just for that guy that runs Coca-Cola so he can sell Coca-Cola he didn't make all of these different things just for some guy to sell more phones he didn't make all of these things for some guy that's building houses he didn't make all of these things so you could have a big bank account in the year20 surely you realize that in your head that the master of legance the surely did not create all of his M all of it just for you to get a more expensive t-shirt like surely you could comprehend that the world was not created for that so then you have that's what was it created for if you believe in the Torah you already understand it on page one means for the t means for fulfilling the T tells us all the secrets we can possibly ever want the whole world exist for to fulfill the Torah and be a light to the nation so they could follow Su as well so if a person takes and supports the glorifying of hashem's Name by publicizing his Torah what does he become he becomes a partner in creation now then the Torah says that we have in a scary curse and a wonderful blessing I'm sorry page 99b says R says one who learns Torah and doesn't teach it is De Creed for he scorned the words of hem based on the verse numbers 1531 someone learns T but doesn't teach it to other people he's consider as if he scorned the Torah okay but that's a person that learns Torah all day and he doesn't uh you gave him money to go learn to but he doesn't go teach he decides that I'm going to keep it for myself he only teaches himself not good now surely he has to learn for a little while to know what he's talking about and get a permission from his Rob to to go teach he doesn't go teach on day one he did cha 6 months ago I want to be a teacher no it doesn't work that way first and foremost you have to know second of all you have to have verification that you know where does that verification come from from your your tells you you know enough to go teach you don't just decide for yourself I'm going to go teach but if a person learns learns learns but doesn't want to teach says this person is scorning the tah he's going against the tah what about if I don't support since maybe he's not going to teach so I'm not going to support to tells us that there was a time at the end of M's life where all of is went to the mountains half the tribes were on one mountain the other half of the tribes were on the second Mountain one half said all of the says blessed is the one that will uphold these words of Tor and all is millions of people at one time said amen say someone who upholds the Torah not just himself but he goes support the Torah I'm going to go invest in these I'm going to invest in I'm going to invest in publicizing the Tor I'm going to invest T says you're upholding the Tor but then that very same just several verses later says cursed is the one who does not uphold the Torah and all of is said amen anyone that gets in the way of the either by going against the rabbis that are actually helping do Chua going against the organizations that are helping people do chuva going against the tah itself making fun of it telling people don't learn it or worst yet doesn't support it himself doesn't put money on the table to do it when he has not when he doesn't have Hashem knows what he has says listen I got a only 10,000 in the account I can't support right now I got to I got to I got to save T says cursed says yeah but how do I know it's talking about me how do I know I didn't give any money that means I'm a rule what everybody doesn't give you is is a rule everyone doesn't donate to Tora is a rule is cursed yeah how do we know there's only two choices and it doesn't say to the one that gives AR who doesn't give and then some Middle Ground who someone is still thinking about it if you're not that's says that's a difficult dilemma why cuz people have a tough time giving especially now when not everybody is benefiting financi from The Dilemma we have in the world to say the least in fact it's becoming more and more difficult to give they say in the name the any mitvah that causes you to become stingy must have a tun for you a Mitzvah you know it's mitvah feed the poor publicize Tora publicize all types of things whatever it is related to Tora it's but all of a sudden the money is like holding on to your pocket like it doesn't want to leave no no I don't want to leave all of a sudden it's like tough you're having a tough time letting it go like it's your lost lost friend Benjamin and you don't want him to go anywhere all of a sudden you only want to give $18 even though you have $18,000 that you could burn for no reason but you only want to give $18 you become stingy says 500 years ago surely thatv that you're stingy about has a specific tun for you because it's not supposed to be easy to do a tikun and then the follows by saying if the mitvah that you're doing is a good Mitzvah then it'll come hard it'll be hard to do it but if fulfilling this mitah you're giving and it's easy for you to give be careful there's something wrong it's not supposed to be easy if it's easy for you to give staka to this organization if it's easy to give sta for this Rabbi double check double check something's wrong here why it's not supposed to be easy why cuz it's t you're fixing a piece of your n it's it's not supposed to be easy to fix something you ever see somebody says yeah I just build this building just what an easy job no it's hard to build a building it's even harder to fix if it's hard for you to give it's a good sign if it's easy something's wrong you have to double check double check after you've checked no problem that's good you have to check every single time check checked but you have to double check but sometimes you have people say no no I love the Torah I love it I want to publicize it I'm just not sure how yet I'm not sure how yet she tell them listen if you want there about 20 million Jews we know about only about 4 million of them keep Shabbat which means that only four million of them have even a chance of going to heaven the other 16 million no chance unless they do CH well so how about you save a few of them sure how Let's uh give out another few 100,000 CDs 100,000 CDs $100,000 even on the worst case scenario half of them go to the garbage got 50,000 left out of the 50,000 left let's say only 10,000 actually watch them out of the 10,000 99% of them hate it only 100 like it meaning a 1,000 of a percent did CH out of 100,000 which is much much lower than reality but nonetheless let's say that's the case you still made it you still have enough reward to go around you could be thead in you made 100 people do cha yeah I don't think people are listening to the CDs anymore okay DVD DVD we could do DVD campaign we'll give the movies yeah I'm not really sure about DVDs okay you know what we're going to do USB USB here you go USB hey there you go USB USB 500 hours of tah USB yeah I'm not really sure anybody's going to actually listen to the USB the whole 500 hour is so long you know 5 USB I'm not sure okay you know what we the internet campaign they already on the internet anyway there's billionaires of users on Facebook let's spend 5 10 20 $100,000 a on marketing yeah I'm not really sure that's the right way to do it okay you know what how about this let's build a build people learning to all day for your I'm not really sure okay you know what forget it existing col a big col not even my col somebody else's col somebody nicer col smart people's col yeah I'm not so sure that's going to really everything is got an excuse everything he's got an excuse why he wants the money to stay in his pocket the CDs are no good the USBs are not good the this is not good the internet's not good nothing is good why is it not good because as long as it's not good I can justify the money staying in my pocket I can justify the money staying in my pocket as long as it's not good I can rationalize why the money still in my pocket and remain stingy and think I'm aad for it cuz I'm a Savvy investor in in in staka and arel says such a person doesn't realize that it's their tun is money is to give money for all of those things that they said no no no every sing one of them is a t for them every single one of them now the in AES says that when it comes to evil eye people are willing to do anything for it you tell somebody listen you have some tough times you lost some money you can't find Aid you your business went this you go to this cabalist in Brooklyn or this guy in Jerusalem or this guy over there that is cabalist you go to him tic tac toe and you got it some people they fall for the Trap and they go to some people people that pretend to be cabalists and they tell them listen $115,000 I give you this little water that I got from the fountain but I'm not going to tell you and you drink it everything's going to be fine or you keep the water on your counter over there and everything's going to be fine or perhaps you take this book but don't look inside cuz that's Mickey Mouse in it don't look inside but anyway keep this book closed put it in your house everything's going to be okay and they do all types of fancy schy stuff that no one understands cuz it is nonsense and people want to pay a ton of money for it why people are scared of scared of scared of evil eye he figure he lost money got divorced didn't have any kids everything's says sometimes people are scared of on their kids new kid beautiful kid scared to invite people to the Brit he scared to invite people to the house see this beautiful little cute kid why people have someone has on little kid it's dangerous says scared of your kid your most priced possession you don't have to go to any cabalist you don't have to buy any special books you don't have to put any silly strings on your hand you know what you got to do to fight and win every time look up look up look up into your mind why why why is looking up in sh going to save you from how is looking up in sh going to see because the the Wicked the the impure that cause intentionally how do they do it how do they do it they tell you wow wow nice house how'd you do it wow you were the ugliest guy in the class how'd you marry this girl you're darker than the night in your your looks how how could you how could you marry such a beautiful woman you were the guy that everyone said listen he'll probably marry a lion how can you uh how can you uh find such a beautiful woman I don't understand you were the dumbest guy in class how' you become a millionaire I don't understand you weren't even able to pass math class six times in a row how' you make so much money how' you build this house how how how is all this happening how what what are these people that have have these how questions how did you marry this girl how did you marry this guy how did you make this money how did you do how what are they doing they're doing for sure but what are they doing at the same time they're trying to separate you from hasem by saying how did you do it how did you make money what do you mean I made money Hashem made money no no no how find Hashem AEM fine but how did you do it though practically speaking how did you do it no no it's AEM it's AEM no no how did you do it what do you do for a living how were you able to add you weren't able to pass math class how did you get it to to to go on a shid with you you have four eyes how how is it possible how did you do it it's a shame says look up look up remember the source of all of your blessings and that will fight all that will fight all why the second you remember that all of your blessings come from hasem and recognize so no can touch you because the main goal of a is to separate you from hem how by giving you the credit for all of your blessings saying how did you do this and how did you do that how did you become so popular how did you uh speak like this how did you speak like that how did you no no it's not you it's not me and that explains the where it says all types of ways of how to beat says how to beat and one of them says listen you can do this you can do that all types of things people do all types of things the fakers have all types of things also don't think that they have more sometimes they'll tell you listen take some garlic you know take it with you next thing you know they tell you take some peppers too by the time you finish you become a walking salad some people have a shoe they should kick the themselves in the head they put a shoe in their car think it's going to fight some people put a string some people all types of weird things but the says get legitimate strategies but then there's one strategy that is difficult to understand argue about it he says listen you're scared of just say the following statement which in so many words means the following I am such and such son or daughter of such and such and I'm of the descendants of yadik who is above so the say listen on this that you have here that you can overcome by saying that you are descendant of yadik but between you and I you and yadik are related like he's related to a lion what are you talking about you're the tribe ofen you're the tribe of Yuda you're the tribe of Benin you're not the tribe of of YF so how can you say you're the tribe of YF why everybody's a tribe of yourself so what's theat what the I read the a few times I only understood it today says theat is the following you see yourik what was so special about him what that he was beautiful you're never going to see a verse in talking about other than his father says some say it's because of the looks some say it's for his tah his Beauty in Torah and so on but the point being is it's not the reason why youf is so special there's other beautiful people in the world what's so special about YF was in jail for a decade said one word the wrong way put him there for another two years after they get him out hurry him out of the out of the B out of the hole that he's in for 12 years because he gave some commentary on a dream the most powerful person in the world says you gave an interpretation to my dream you're special you're this you're that sadik says has nothing to do with me it's all has nothing to do with me now if I say listen has nothing to do with you go back in the hole go back in the hole I got you out of the hole you took a shower shaved everything good I'm giving you saying it's not even you go back and all I don't need you doesn't make any L doesn't make any love iCal sense for to say listen H thank you but no thank you cuz that interpretation of the dream it has nothing to do with me it doesn't make any sense Li tell listen lie lie that's what that's me's life I tell we both agree okay get out of that jail lie s it's you what because if you say no logically it's going to throw you back in the hole says has nothing to do with me don't dare give me credit for nothing it's all AEM it's all AEM and that's theat being a descendant of yadik doesn't literally mean that he is your great grand father he could be but to be related to yourik you don't need to be from the same seed itself but rather from the same asfa from the same aana from the same understanding from the same ideology from the same amuna theik knew I can say things that may or may not be against your common sense but they em that's what I'm going to say They don't serve my interest doesn't make a difference I'm going to say the truth I'm going to say the truth you want to be powerful when it comes to you have to have a you have to have AA in such a way that you have to know that everything is from hasem because the primary job of is to try to do the exact thing that was trying to do with what did he say meaning it's you that did it yourf says no no I didn't do anything I didn't build anything I didn't say anything everything is AEM the minute a person knows that everything is AEM automatically it gives him power that he did not have before now one once a person knows that everything mamash is from hasem he acts differently now there are times that a person does the right thing but it looks like the wrong thing is happening was a huge B IED before anyone knew he knew Torah he was very rich and he gave a lot of money Big B one day he went broke lost all of his money and everyone was asking how could it be someone that's publicizing Torah investing in giving money to why wouldn't hasm protect his money so maybe he didn't give enough maybe this maybe that people start talking who lived at the same time set a special bed he says I want you to investigate the matter and find out how did he lose the money what happened some say he was a big spender but then it was verified that's not the case some say maybe he didn't give enough say no it's not the case he was giving and everyone had theories but nothing and they were left with no answer for a little while because every answer they would give he would reject it no that's not the reason that's not the reason that's not the reason that's not the reason not the reason he was good things and he didn't get so doesn't make any doesn't make any sense something you're missing now what do you do when you lose all your money you don't have any business anymore you start all over but didn't want to start all over again in the business world so what did he do he going start learning T started learning Torah and it was discovered that he has a genius mind for like no other and then little by little they discovered this guy has and all types of beautiful insights enormous tah the world has never seen before years later his kids started bringing to the world says now I know whyem took away all of his money because if he didn't take away all of his money he would have never learned T and he would have never had built the entire bris entire slovic lineage that you have today started with that it looked like a CL it looked like a curse says it was a blessing we didn't see it in the beginning but the question is if a person says Okay I havea I have says be smart and don't just save for rainy days because the next rainy day is a maul how do I know what to do now sometimes we know what to do but we need a little conviction the same that talks about Masia end of days and so on page 992a says one who teaches tah in this world Merit to teach in page 85a says someone who teaches tah to the son of his fellow merits to sit in the ISA of heaven and anyone who teaches the son of an ignorant person tah merits that even if hasem signs a decree he will cancel it for him as it is written by the Prophet Jeremiah chapter 15 verse 19 if you bring forth an honorable person from a glutton then you will be like my own mouth so here we see that someone who teaches toah to help people learn tah it's big deal someone that teaches Torah to help people do ch it's even a bigger deal why is it a bigger deal says you teach people to do T you'll be like aem's mouth you say something even though hasem says listen store is closed you say no no I want the store to open says okay it's open why I said close you said okay okay we'll go with your said so the question is why question is why says because weim we're Partners in creation why because you're helping people do CH but then some people think it's just for the speaker or the guy that's running the organization mistake what's the proof the same I just taught you what does it say it says someone that teaches t to the son of his fellow Will Merit to sit in the ISA of Heaven why do it say sit in the sh of Heaven why do it say someone who teach to is going to teach to in heaven if you're already teaching toah here why doesn't like the other that says you teach here you're going to teach there this is different what's the why is this one saying something different it says you teach here you're going to sit there the first said if you teach the this world Tor you're going to also teach in heaven Torah now it mentions here the same exact thing but slightly different if you teach toah in this world you're going to sit in the Yesa of Heaven wait how come I'm sitting there how come I'm not teaching there what's the difference between so today and your Merit there is a small difference the first one is for the teacher you teach this world to do CH is going to bless you to no end you teach in this world you're going to be teaching in sh meaning your end is amazing your end is no end so what about the sitting part no no the sitting is not for you when we said someone that teaches Torah in this world's going to send me a Sha of Heaven that wasn't for the teacher that was for the one that supported the teacher why is he sitting why is he sitting in in sham why is she sitting in Sham in sh because she's not a teacher she's just uh you know she works for Coca-Cola she works for UPS she works for some company she makes a few thousand a month and she gives money that's it she's not a teacher of Tor she's supporting the teacher so therefore in sh she has to finally learn T so she supported the teacher so she's counted the teacher in this world but in sham you still have to learn though so you're going to sit over there why can you support it to in this world so it says to us anyone that teaches to the public it's as if you're a partner in creation because your students are like your children page 87a says that anyone that is a that supports kir in any way not just the teacher and sin does not come to his hand why hasem protects such a person that's constantly supporting kiru so his students whoever actually did chuva from his contribution to kiru whether it be teaching or making movies or donating or whatever it is it'll be awful for them to be in heaven and he or she so hasm gives a person that supports k a lot of extra protection from thems now when a person actually helps people do chuva what is the what are they really doing here when a person is investing his time his effort into helping other people do Chua first and foremost you have to look at it in a perspective of what am I really stopping here what am I really stopping now you got a person to keep Shabbat either by CDs USBS you shared a a lecture for free whatever you did but you got people to do chat that person starts keeping Shabbat before that Shabbat every Shabbat he would violate Shabbat 50 60 100 200 times turn on a TV turn on the lighter turn on the gas turn on the electric press the gas press the pedal press this this he's viol by the time Shabbat finishes he violated Shabbat two 300 times that means two 300 times he was supposed to get killed by hasem instantly now you stop that just stop the sins now because now he's keeping Shabbat automatically you save this guy a few hundred times every Shabbat that's a big deal but that's just for one Shabbat that's for the next 20 30 50 100 years he's going to live but that's not it his wife also is going to be influenced to keep Shabbat his kids kids are going to keep Shabbat his grandkids and so on and so forth but they're not also going to keep just Shabbat if you're already going to keep Shabbat you're going to have K too and if it's K might as well be kosher food and if you're already going to do Shabbat you gon have kosher food might as well also be yum and if it's not just you G have all of the other that come with then you have P then you have then you have the all of these other on top of it don't put on I can't keep sh without Onin every day so now you start putting Onin then he's covering his head then she's covering her head then they're covering their body too before you know it you have a family that's generating you literally thousands and thousands of mitv every single second of the day they're alive and your account keeps increasing greater than theirs because even though they get a reward for their mitvah the Mish specifically tells us the person that causes another to do a mitvah his his reward is greater why why is his s greater why is the guy that caused another person to do chuva get a bigger reward than the guy that's actually doing all the job what is the analogy like if you ever had the unfortunate tun where your car broke down and the only way you can get it to run is if you pushed a little bit or a lot of bit now when we used to work in the flea market years ago probably before some of you were born the Vans would constantly break down cuz that's what Vans do best they break down so what do you do you push the thing how long until it starts running you could blow on it you can kick it you can curse you can do a lot of things none of that stuff's going to work you know what works pushing it pushing it works for how long until it works and you push and you push and you push and you're sweating bullets and it's hot as it's lava outside already or it's freezing whatever it is it's not comfortable and you're pushing this thing this giant elephant with wheels and you're pushing it and hoping that at some point the engine will go on and all of a sudden you could drive for two hours but without you pushing it for 5 10 minutes nothing's happening but all of a sudden after 5 10 minutes it runs like the wind it could stop it can go it could drive 60 70 mil an hour everything's good where does the credit go to the engine that's running so smoothly or the guy that pushed it when the engine was dead if it wasn't for the guy that pushed it when the engine was dead the engine would remain dead and therefore the credit the credit goes to the one that pushed them pushed the car until it ran the credit goes the higher credit goes to the one that pushed the woman or pushed the man to do chat to keep Shabbat to keep modesty to keep K why if it wasn't for your push it was if it wasn't for your annoying text messages if it wasn't for your annoying uh emails and packages and books and constant reminders that Shabbat coming and constant reminders of you know the holiday and constant invitations to come to the sh if it wasn't for that annoying push push push guess what they'd all remain dead sometimes that push is scary sometimes that push is funny sometimes the push is just a push but bottom line is if it wasn't for the pushing there'd be nothing that's why to says the one that causes the engine to finally go for him to finally fulfill the Mitzvah he gets more credit he gets more credit now how many people believe this I'd say few don't believe okay that's what you say I believe it no problem how many people live like this where they believe it much fewer theoretically everybody agrees Everyone likes it yes support kiru do this do that but actually living like it is very different why because doing K and helping is very difficult because it makes us sometimes poorer in the beginning because it requires us to donate or requires us to invest sometimes it causes arguments because the people around us are not yet ready to do Chua so it's a conflict of some kind sometimes there is a push back where a bunch of make you feel like you're wrong because they write articles about you and they make fun of your Rabbi or you yourself and people make comments and this and that so it's not a smooth ride but yet throughout all of the generations we thank Hashem for having a few people do it because if it wasn't for them we wouldn't have a generation now says that someone who does kiru his level is even higher than the prophets even if that Prophet is M now what is a person that does kiru look like some time ago there was a special r r Yuda elz and his uh colleague n they got a instructions from the previous shalom to go to a Kaa in summer and give them so now they went they gave them they built AED they built they got people to stop being ignorant kept Shabbat gave M got them to have amazing but this this is the basics of the story the question is how did a couple of ashim get a k of bukharians to do all this how did a couple of get a bunch of barkarian to do CH to build a now if you look what was his father's name his father's name was he was also kovski kovski so how do we go from kovski to how do we go from kovski to it's a pretty big change here and the guys don't usually change their name when they get married you see the twoim they got to the K of barkarian and they saw the only way that these people are going to accept T from us is if they see us as one of them they see as one of them if they see us just a couple of Asim religious guys why we should I listen to you we're going to wait for our own rabbis to come so we have to show them we care about them no matter where we came from where they came from We're Jews you're Jews that's enough doesn't matter where who what when and how from Europe from this from that you're a Jew I'm a Jew that's it so how do I show him this so kovski says I'm changing my name from now on I am Rabbi elz a very famous barkarian name that's where I am till this day there's descendants in the world from that call themselves elz they may not even know that their grandfather was AI but they today think they Bans why cuz their father was a in the barkarian world helped an entire community and later discovered to be a genius in t enormous what did he do change his clothes from now one I only look like a bukharian put on barkarian clothes the special hat the golden clothes that's how he walked around he learned BK from the to the extent where he wrote a about why I want to show this KLA I love them and I want to help him do chva why why do all this why don't you just go help your brothers in ashaz and lva where you came from why why you going to go over here to to a bunch of people like for what there there's a bunch of other people bunch of other communities so no no no this is where it's needed this is where the kir is needed that's where I'm going to do it why do you know how much reward I'm going to get for this you know what for all this investment for changing my name for changing my clothes for for looking like them so we could be one you know how much I'm going to get for this I'm going to become a partner with does it get any better than that now sometimes everything I just said is a motivator but sometimes people are motivated by reward and Punishment when it comes to reward and Punishment and thereafter both say that if you go to somebody and you try to M them you try to help them do CH keep shabat keep learn T and they tell you to go fly a kite they don't want to listen no matter what you do you try authentically you try hard not just one time you give him a CD and run away keep trying keep going keep doing they don't want it and both say don't worry you made it anyway why' you make it in that exchange you gave him Torah they said go fly a kite when they said go fly a kite I'm not interested in your Torah during that same time all of their mitv came out of them and got into your account all of your sins went into them you made an exchange anyway you are trying to give them and a reward for that you were going to get 310 worlds they didn't want to do it so what did you do you got all of their mitv all of their they got all your problems so don't worry you still benefited so some people that are scared of getting know and sins and getting punished don't worry you do K you're going to not you're going to avoid G them all together why you have two to rely on say listen I did K in my life I invested every month I invested time money resource whatever I did that's it that's enough not touch me you're right go ahead G over here but then some people they like they emit they like no punishment but they need a little extra little extra little flu how we see it the sari World flu so in Tunis where my ancestors come from there was a about 100 years ago little over than that and he writes in a anyone that is in the business meaning someone that's actively supporting or doing themselves K to help is do ch is promised to become rich in this world why because as soon as AEM sees that you are serious about your K you're see it's not just something you're dabbling in just to see if it works this is what you want to do this is what you care about this is why you work for some company in order to make money not because you want to work for the company so you could buy more houses you're working to make money so you could do more cu you're doing all the different things to do more to help more people do CH that's what you care about as soon asem says this is this guy is real this woman is real they actually care about that means that he can no longer afford to have you waste your time chasing money so what he's going to do she's going to give you a bunch of it so you don't have to worry about going to the office of the government to deal with some things you just sell your send your assistance you don't have to worry about filling you know filling gas like the rest of us little people somebody else going to do for you you don't have to worry about moving every year because they keep kicking you out no no no we're just going to give you a house why we can't afford for you to waste your time with regular stuff so as soon as sees you are serious about it it'll give you money more money than you even need what do you have to on what are the from T so you see here we today learned another four aspects of what's happening and what we need to do on one end we see we have a generation of ignorant people that do not know the difference between right and wrong primarily because of the Shepherds that are not teaching us the right way and simply are hypocritical in many aspects but that is not for us to over concern ourselves with too much we have to concern ourselves with not being part of the Hypocrites not supporting the Hypocrites the second thing is we see that we have an entire generation of people that are yearning for the truth but unfortunately because there's not that much truth in the world they're settling for the PE of the potato anyone that says anything remotely close to Tor they give because there's not enough in it and that's one of the prophecies that we learn about and we have the commentary from the the rovic he specifically tells us that the last generation is going to be hungry for so with those two is isues what can we do about it simply do everything possible to share the with share the with the world do whatever you can to get yourself to do chuva every single day even if you think that you've already done Chua 10 years ago or you were born a b or whatever you think you are you got to do more if you're alive there's more to do but second thing is start caring about the world around you Jews non-jews religious Jews non-religious Jews tall people short people male female black white burgundy whatever they are they have a pulse they're still alive try to help them by showing them toah try to help strangers not just people that are immediately related to you try to show that you care you care about him you care about his T you care about his people when you do all of this you'll get rewarded handsomely not only by removing yourself from being someone that's punished for sins that they made like we talked about fromi and the but also you put yourself in a situation where you'll have special in your own learning and your own Chua but most importantly most importantly you'll show is that you care about them by doing without expecting anything in return because in reality when you're trying to help people do chuva and get closer to Hashem what do you really get out of it yeah we have the say you're going to become rich but I promise you if you're doing it to become rich you're never going to succeed anyway you may succeed in teaching you may succeed in making some videos but you're not going to succeed in making people do chuva why Hashem is not going to help you on both ends just you know because you just want to make it for money the money is an after effect if you're actually going to help people do cha hasm will reward you handsomely but the thing is though you have to pass the test if every single one of us simply that's watching here online today and a week from now simply says you know what I'm going to do everything possible to get 10 people to do CH this year however much time it cost however much money it cost however much effort it cost I'm going to do everything possible to get 10 people to do cha 10 people if every one of us gets 10 people guess what you're going to have a lot of people because you're going to teach those people not only to do cha but you're going to teach them to pay forward you're going to teach them to also help other people do Chua and that's what many of my students do as soon as they do Chua they start helping other people do Chua why because their Chua is not just based on trying to avoid gay and Punishment and horror they cha is sincerely understanding that they're lucky to have the opportunity to get close to Hashem and their friends are not so lucky yet so their Chua is also based on the fact that they have a clear understanding of what's important in the world and they don't want their friends and their family and other people in to miss so they help other people do Chua this is what we all have to do we have to help am we cannot rely on the Shepherds we cannot rely on the teachers we cannot rely on anything but himself but is only going to help us if we we help oursel if we simply move ourselves Inspire ourselves to do something about it yes we're all tired yes we're all broke yes we're all this and we're all that I get it reality is the Commandment still on us the Commandment still on us so this will give us a little bit more inspiration to get closer to hem not only with our own our own toiling and Torah every day our own learning constantly our own MIT but also get our fellow Jews fellow humans to understand what a was saying so many years ago and what he's still saying till this day and bring more light to ourselves more light to the Nations and more amen amen [Music] oh [Music]
