My mom told me a story one time that
puts things in perspective.

their door
and ask him, can I uh buy your house?"
He said, "I'm sorry, it's not for sale."
Okay, but I like your house. You can
like it all you want. It's not for sale.
But I really like it. But I understand
you like it. I built this house. Cost me
$10 million to buy this house and to
build it and reving all the things. I'm
not selling it. Okay. Okay, fine. Can I
just buy enough space in your house to
put one nail?

it. $10,000 for one nail. The guy has

You like money. So, he says, " $10,000
to put a nail in the I put a nail for
free." Okay. Okay, fool. Come, come.
Wherever you want, put the nail. Put the
nail. Just make sure the check is uh

morning? Cuz what do you want? He said,
"Who is he? He's the guy with the nail."
Goes, "What do you want? I have no more
nails. No more nails. I'm going go to

Excuse me? Goes, "My hat. My hat. I

If I would have finished early, I would

nail? So, the guy still is still excited
about the 10,000 he got a few hours ago.
He Okay, buddy. Go, go, go. Just do me a
favor. Next time, come a little earlier.
He goes to sleep. He puts the hat.
Everything is good. Day's over.

here. I don't want the hat. What? My
jacket. My jacket. I'm finished with the
jacket. I want to put my jacket on my
nail.
Cuz what's with you at 2:00 in the
morning? You can't come at 12, at 10:00,
at 8 like normal people. I just finished
with the jacket now. I don't need the
jacket now. So, I'm going to carry it
for no reason. Look, it's heavy. It's a
big jacket. Okay, I put it on my nail.
Okay, put it on my head.
Guy's getting a little frustrated.
Next day, 3:30 in the morning.
Hello.
Poor guy. What do you want? I need my
hat.
The jacket, too. No, no, just a hat.
Why couldn't you come sooner? I just
need that. I didn't need it before. And
every day the poor guy 2:00, 3:00, 4:00
in the morning, every day for 10 days
straight, he's coming. He says, "Listen,
after 10 days of this," he tells him,
"Listen, no more. Here's your $10,000."
I'm finished with you. Goes, "No, no,
no. I'm not. No refunds."
"No, what more? I bought it. It's mine.
It's my property." Goes, "I don't want
you." Cuz we signed the deal. You got
You cast the check already. The check
cleared. I don't want the money back. I
like my nail. He goes, "Stop coming at
3:00 in the morning." He goes, "I come
whenever I have this. It's my nail. It's
my property.
I'll take you to court." He goes, "Take
me to court." They go to court. And the
millionaire thinks that this is
ridiculous. Every normal judge going to
judge it in his favor. He goes, "Your
your honor, this guy's crazy. I'm
willing to give him his $10,000 back.
I'll give him 15,000. Just leave me
alone."
Judge says, "Listen, according to this
contract,
there's nothing you can do. It's his
nail. He's allowed to go and see his
nail and uh whenever he wants. You have
to comply with this."
He couldn't believe his eyes.
[Music]
He leaves the court
with a long face
trying to figure out a solution, but
realizing he doesn't have one. And over
the next 10 days, he suffers even more
than even the first 10 days. 1:00 in the
morning, 2:00 in the morning, 3:00 in
the morning, the hat and the jacket and
the shoes and this. And I just want to
look at the nail. I just want to touch
the nail. Maybe I'll put a picture on
the nail. After another 10 days, the guy
shows up at 3:00 in the morning. He
says, "Here you go. Here's the keys to
the whole house. I'm leaving."
That's the mash.
That's the parable.
What's the name?
The nimal
is that the millionaire is us.
The guy that bought the nail is the
Satan.
The Satan comes to you. He says,
"Listen, I want to take your entire at
once." You say, "No, you crazy. I was I
was born religious. I was born with a
keeper. I came out of the my mom's I
keep on already. What are you talking
about? I'm religious from birth. I did
chuva. I did this. No, don't take my
lamb by my lawn. Okay. Okay, fine. Fine.
He comes back a few. How about one nail?
How about one little sill? How about a
skirt that's one and a half inches too
short? It's not a mini like the rabbi
keeps saying. It's not a mini. It's like
instead of covering the knee, it covers
like 3/4 of the knee.
Come on. What? People are paying
attention for inches. Hashem really
cares. He has nothing else to do but to
start looking at inches.
He has a whole world to run and he's
looking at inches on my skirt. Just one
nail.
That's how the comes. One small sin.
Just go into the McDonald's one time.
Get the coffee. Coffee? Why? What do
they have? Pig and coffee.
When was the last time you ate pig and
coffee together?
It's just coffee.
Why? They have uh black coffee with pig
feet in it. No, it's just coffee from
McDonald's. No, one little nail.
One nail.
That's the
tells you, I just want one nail. And
then he comes 2:00 in the morning. He
says, "How does my nail?
How's my nail? I want another nail. I
want another nail. I want another nail.
And unless you know what's going to
happen to you in the grave, unless you
know what's going to happen after the
grave, unless you know that a kadosh
does not let anyone go.
Guess what? Eventually, you're going to
give him his whole house.
You're going to give him the whole
house. You're going to go and meet with
the pope and say, "Pope, I agree with
you. Eventually, we're going to convert
all of them.
It doesn't start with everything. It
starts with a nail.
This is why it's critical to teach fear.
It's the only way people stay religious.
According to
