We're back here on a Wednesday night.
We're after you guys are going to ask
some questions and will give us the
answers. Tonight's show is going to be
for the
and all of and all the righteous no eyes
that continue to learn with us, continue
to support the organization and continue
to grow closer to anyone that wants to
support can donate on bezem.org or be b
a t h a s e m.org og and of course all
of you that have not already subscribed
to the channel, subscribed to the AI
Rabbi app, please do so
over the past decade that I've been
teaching Torah,
we've learned and taught a lot of Torah.
Yet, there's actually one thing that I
can't teach you. I've said this before
in the past and
I've said it even to some of my private
you know meetings with students that uh
the situation warranted it and uh even
though we've learned many topics we've
learned mousar we've learned we've
learned we've learned we've learned
midrash we've learned parts of the we've
learned about kadusha
uh we've learned uh a lot of historical
things but yet there There is still one
thing that I cannot teach you. In fact,
the biggest rabbis in the world that
taught much more than I ever can
also can't teach you this.
In fact, no one can actually teach this
to you. It's either you have it because
you want it or you don't.
starts off with a census of names
where
make sure that is knows
that just like when they were mount Sai
and the
was in essence on top of Am.
He wants to know that their connection
to him is is the connection to the
Torah.
And in this census, Hashem
commands Mosheu
to have Am count count the people, name
the leaders.
And some of these leaders
taught they had this one thing that I
can't teach you.
But really only a few of them did.
It's not a matter of they couldn't do
it.
They chose not to.
Tonight we're going to learn what this
topic is that I can't teach you. We're
not going to learn how to do it because
for that you're on your own.
But this
is the shad
starts off by telling us different
leaders names.
For the tribe of Ruven Elit,
the son of Shu
for Shimon, it was
son of Zurish, which the
says is another name for Zimri Zim, the
one that we will hear more about in
Paradak
and Paradas.
He goes from being a leader of the
Shimon tribe to being a disgraced
forever.
But at least at this moment,
he's a leader.
For the tribe of Yea, we have
we all know the story about
where when is got to Yamsuf after Hashem
took them out of Egypt.
They didn't know what to do. Going back
would be going to into the Egyptian
arms. Going right or left would mean to
go into the horrific danger of the
desert that was full of enormous monster
like snakes and scorpions much bigger
than even in the movies.
The only place forward, the only place
that was in front of them was the ocean.
And
is one of the prime examples that the
Torah has of somebody that was willing
to not only talk about
but actually do it.
He jumped into the water without knowing
how to swim
knowing that a kadosh is not going to
bring you
a miracle. That's a half a miracle.
He brought us all the way here. He'll
get us out of here also. Even though it
doesn't look like there's an exit,
but
sacrificed his life. That's what nephesh
means literally.
And for that reason
decided that the Messiah
will come from his descendants.
On the other hand,
Zimri Ben Saloo was also a leader.
But instead of sacrificing himself
in a positive way,
he destroyed every good that he ever
had. Until this day, he's suffering for
it.
What is me?
What does it mean self-sacrifice? Does
it literally mean you have to sacrifice
your life? But for what? If you jump in
front of a car to save a dog, does that
mean that you are a special person? You
might as may be crazy.
If you decide that you're going to get a
job of being the bodyguard of some
president or royalty or some businessman
that's willing to pay you a lot of money
to jump in front of a bullet for him,
does that mean that you're a hero? Does
that mean that you're righteous? No.
So
doesn't necessarily mean that a person
is willing to die literally
for something but rather
when the
the moment of truth arrives
this person is willing to put everything
on the line
in order to make sure
that they do everything to sanctify
name.
the time of the
there's a very well-known story of how
there was a man that came to visit the
and when he got there
the
spoke to him and he said to him
do you know
if you're a kohhen and the man says no
I'm Note
says, you know, I'm a queen.
Yeah. Yeah. Rabbi, you know, everyone
knows that
is a queen.
But do you know why
Hashem chose me to be the queen?
It's confused.
No, I don't. Because your father was a
coin.
Yes, my father was a but that's not the
reason. Do you know that in this week's
para
when it talks about the sacrifices
the Torah tells us that although is can
slaughter
the sacrifice when it comes to the
service in the beta mikdash of the blood
the blood offering incense offering only
the coin can do it.
So that means that if the Msiah comes
tomorrow says
I'm going to go to the beta mikdash and
I'm an old man. So even if you want to
help me because you figure I'm an old
man. How could I do it? Let me do some
and help the
do you know that you can't help me
because the Torah says that if you
choose to help me
you die.
And the man is still confused and even
more confused now than before. And he
says, "Uh, yeah, yes, Rabbi. I I I uh I
uh I know that. Yes, I know that I'm not
allowed to help you in the beta
mikdash."
Says, "Do you know why
I got the merit
to serve in the beta mikdash,
but you didn't?"
Of
course, the man doesn't know where to
hide himself. He's so confused.
Says,
"It's because over 3,000 years ago,
Am was in a desert. Am was at Mount Si.
And the RAV convinced them that Mosher
Rabenu died.
They thought that he will come at a
specific time
and
they were wrong by six hours
and they ended up
falling for the trap of the and either
worshiping the
golden calf or not rebuking the for
doing it. Either way, anyone that was
involved in any way was punished
severely.
And says, "How long did they really
do all of these sins for?" I mean, we're
not talking about something they did for
weeks or months.
This was a matter of uh
couple of hours at most.
That's what the midl says.
But yet we remember what happened
and it's still
something that impacts us until this day
over 3,300 years later.
But do you know there's one tribe THAT
DID NOT GET punished
and that's the tribe of Levi.
That's where I come from. That's because
my grandfather
when he saw everybody doing the
idolatry, he didn't go with them. In
fact, when Mosheu came down and he said,
"Mah,
whoever is for Hashem, come with me.
Kill those that are doing this." Even if
it's your brother, even if it's your
cousin, whoever it is.
And the tribe of Levie that they weren't
fighters, they weren't warriors. all of
a sudden picked up swords and started
killing the idolattors.
They sacrificed their life
for the sake of Hashem's name.
That's the reason Hashem chose them to
be his servants in the beta mikdash.
and all of their descendants
will be kanim
that are serving in the beta mikdash or
the levim.
That's why I'm a queen.
It's because my grandfather did
something at the moment of truth that
changed everything.
He sacrificed everything.
is not like other subjects.
You can teach stories in the Torah and
people can learn from it. They can learn
from it. They can learn you know mus
from it. They can learn all types of
things from it. You can give a sh of the
Talmud
or more and there's every subject you
could possibly imagine is in the Talmud.
Yesterday when we were learning
the
while you're learning about the
different dealings between one person
and the other when they're deciding
whether to make a partnership
on a field,
you're also learning how to build stuff,
how much
you need
in order to connect two rocks.
to make a wall. You're learning how to
build
and ma is full of these types of
lessons.
So when you learn, you learn everything
in the process.
When you learn
used to call it
which is when you learn about the
stories of the you learn about how
Hashem runs this world.
But the one subject
that you simply cannot teach
is messy with nephesh.
You can tell stories about those that
have sacrificed everything.
You can tell people the reward they
would get if they did the same thing
or the opportunities they would lose if
they didn't.
But when push comes to shove and the
moment of truth arrives for each person,
there's nobody by them that's telling
them, "Do you remember that sh by rabbi?
Do you remember what we read in that
book?"
That doesn't happen in real life.
At that moment of truth,
it's either you have it or you don't.
If you didn't have it before that day,
you're certainly not going to have it on
that day.
told a story of a
religious photographer in Israel
who told him the story himself.
He says he was he's a religious guy,
photographer, but he wasn't exactly the
most stringent.
It's very hard to do that in that field
anyway.
But one day
he was hired for a job to do in some
studio, some news network,
and he would get paid 10,000 shekels for
half day's work, which is a lot of money
there.
So he got hired. He gets to the place
and he sees that there's a lot of
immodesty in the studio
and even though he's not the most
stringent,
even though he's not the most kari, even
though sometimes you can barely see his
keeper,
he decided, "No, too much pituit here,
too much imodesty here. I'm not I'm not
doing the job." He tells the people that
hired him, "I'm leaving." What do you
mean you're leaving? Why are you
leaving? There's too much immodesty. I
can't I can't I can't work like this.
Oh, come on. What are you fanatic now? I
thought you were normal. I thought you
were uh a good guy. Why did you become
ultraorththodox already? He's like,
laugh whatever you want. I'm not working
here.
This is not what I signed up for. I'm
out of here.
giving up on the 10,000 shekels,
giving up on much more than that because
they're never going to hire him again,
and most likely losing a lot of other
work after other people hear it.
But that didn't matter to him.
A few days later, there was a big Torah
event
where some of
were there to represent the leaders of
the Torah. And among them was Ravim
Kvski.
And this photographer was hired to
record that event as well.
He's a well-known photographer. He's
hired for a lot of different jobs.
And as he's on the near the big table
taking pictures, recording
does something he never does.
Anyone that knows anything about Rafa
Kvski knows that he was
very very
minimal to say the least when it comes
to using words.
Even when he would give somebody a
blessing, he would just say the
acronyms.
He wouldn't even say the whole blessing.
He would just say the first letter.
didn't want to waste a second. Didn't
want to waste a word. But here
he looks at the photographer,
points at him,
come here.
The photographer
confused. He's looking behind him to see
maybe there's somebody behind him.
There's another rabbi. There's a
somebody else, but there's nobody there.
Me.
What does what does Rav Kanefki want
from me? He walks up to the RV
says yes.
And of says to him,
I'm jealous of you.
Now he's even more confused.
Meod,
you're jealous of me for what?
Kany says these last words to him,
"They don't know,
but I know."
At that moment, that photographer
realized exactly
what Raf Kyvki is talking about.
And he says, "I learned two things there
aside from the fact that Rafkyvki has
one
that if Raf Khani knows this, then it
must have made some major impression in
heaven."
And secondly, the Rav Kany was telling
the truth. He really is jealous of me
because he doesn't have those types of
tests that us regular people have. He
can never do such a mitzvah like that
because it's not relevant to him.
It's like I I did a mitzvah. I did
something. I did a sacrifice that even
could not do.
that messy with
was something that I can do.
Now
is one of those things where
it's not necessarily something that
you can just
train yourself in your mind that when
the push comes to shove, you're going to
do it because you never know when it's
going to come, when it's going to be
needed, or how.
Sometimes it's to overcome
a situation like the photographer had
to. Sometimes it's to overcome anger.
Some Sometimes it's to be extremely
generous. Sometimes it's to literally
put your life on the line. Nephes comes
in all shapes and sizes.
But the big thing about me
that
when it's done by a regular person and
not a big sadic,
it not only has a big impact on them,
but rather it has an impact on all of
the descendants that will ever come out
of that person.
It has
the ability to change history.
When
jumped into the ocean, he wasn't chosen
to be the leader yet to as what he was
later on.
We didn't even know his name when he did
it.
When people make that big sacrifice,
the biggest impression
is when they do it before they're well
known, before
the whole world
knows that there's some big sadic or big
sadika.
There was a big sadik years ago
named the the Rav
from uh
Shephanit
or Shephan.
He was a ish kodesh
to such an extent that 80 years after it
he died.
They decided to take his body from where
he was buried in Russia and bring it to
Israel to Petikva.
Those that took his body and rearied it
testified
that his body looked like he was simply
sleeping even though he was buried for
80 years. So much so that even his beard
still had drops of water on them
fresh like he was just sleeping for 80
years.
Go put a piece of meat on the table for
a couple of days. See what happens. see
if there's a little water left on it or
something else.
This Sadik
had a story
of something that took place with one of
the average people in his community.
He had a rich person in his community
who was a good guy.
very generous
but was dealing with the very difficult
part of life
that may never ever be on you or on us
or on anybody else from am
which is not having children very
difficult
it's not an easy problem because it's
both
emotional
it's social it's physical it has
connections to every part of your life.
And if you don't know how to get your
head around it, it could even lead a
person to become depressed.
Although that's not the point. That's
not why Hashem sends a person such a
test.
Many people that don't know how to
handle the test lose themselves.
But this Sadik
who was an average person,
his biggest plus was that he was very
generous.
He wasn't a big Tommy. He didn't write
any books
and
he has been married for 20 years
and did not have any kids.
one day.
He comes to the Ra
and he says to the Rav,
I need a blessing.
Right now, I'm being sued for everything
and if I lose, I lose everything.
The Ra looks at him and says,
"Right now
is
is the moment of truth
where you can choose
either
to win this case
and never have kids or lose this case,
lose the money, but you can have a kid.
Which one do you want?
The man was shocked. Says, "Hold on a
second, Rabbi. Let me let me think for a
moment." He thinks to himself for about
five minutes.
He comes back to the rab. He says, "No,
I can't do it, Rabbi.
I can't lose the money. It's not my
money.
Please give me a blessing that I win
this case." The RV looks at him, goes,
"Are you crazy? you've been waiting for
a kid for 20 years. He says, "You're
right, Rabbi,
but it's not
right for me to lose because if I lose,
all of those widows and orphans that
that money feeds
will no longer have it."
So I thought about it and I rather be
childless for the rest of my life
and they not miss even one meal.
I'd rather die childless
than hear that one of them doesn't have
something to eat.
The RV was impressed
and told them you have my blessing.
come back to me after the case is over.
The man comes back after he not only won
the case but they even have to pay him
damages
and he came to thank the Rav for the
blessing.
But the Rav says to him, most people
get
one moment in their life. That's a
that's an hour where the heavens are
open where even the midatin
the prosecutor steps aside
and allows the prayers to be accepted.
But because you broke your nature for
the sake of Hashem's children,
Hashem has given you a second chance.
What do you want?
He says, "Rabbi, I want a child."
And the rabbi said, "I'm in."
And nine months later, after being
married for over 20 years and every
doctor under the sun telling him that
it's impossible for him and his wife to
have children, nine months later they
had a healthy, beautiful baby boy.
A person
that heard the stories of the
destruction of the beta mikdash
perhaps thinks of the real estate,
thinks of the human loss,
but very few people realize how they're
connected to it.
But the sages teach us that after the
destruction of the beta mikdash,
it's as if there is a wall between us
and akadosh
because now when we pray to hashem,
the prosecutor
is allowed to interfere with the prayers
and
unfortunately make many of them
unanswered.
There is one way
that a person can break this wall
and that's when a person breaks their
own nature.
When they break their own nature,
meaning that they overcome
whatever their own personal interest is,
whatever their own personal nature is,
whatever
people think is in your interest,
and rather they do something
that is the opposite of norm, but for
the sake of good, for the sake of
and his children.
Many times
that
that moment
is not a
extraordinary event like Yamsuf where
you have to just jump into the water.
If you're going to jump into the water
tomorrow, just make sure you bring a
towel. Nothing's going to change.
And don't worry,
there's plenty of other people to feed
the orphans and the widows.
For most people
comes during a time where they're
suffering a lot
when they have isim
because that's usually when people lose
themselves.
That's usually when people start feeling
like as if Hashem is not with them.
That's usually when they're weakest.
But the reality is
many times
Hashem brings that
during those times where there is extra
suffering more than norm. There's no
such thing as a life without suffering.
But everyone everyone understands
especially if you're old enough that
there are times where there's a lot and
there's a time that there's even more.
And when those times come where there's
even more
many times that is also coming
because before gives a person an
opportunity to get the greatest blessing
in the world. He also gives him the
biggest test.
A sea that recently came out about
Shalom who died during a time of Corona
which is the reason why at his funeral
there was barely a minyan.
On page 380,
it's a story of
when he was in his last days,
practically on his deathbed
and
came to visit him
and he said, "This is what happened
during that time. I came to see
he's laying down. He's suffering in
agony and pain.
And he tells me with the clear mind.
I'm not scared to go up and get judged
in heaven right now.
I live the life of Torah.
I have children and grandchildren that
are living life of Torah.
I have places of Torah, coloss,
synagogues, schools.
I've merited to learn and teach Torah
both orally and written written books.
But if Hashem
wants me to stay in this world and
suffer even more
for the sake and benefit of Isel,
I'm more than happy to do that.
Now you would think
was this his moment of truth?
No.
The moment of truth came decades before
that.
When he was just 34 years old, he became
the RV of Batyam.
City of Batyam was known as a place
where there was criminals, non-stop
fighting, fist fighting, weapons, all
types of things. It wasn't exactly where
you'd want to walk around just to see
the view.
Abakidon came there, became the Rav
after of course his Rav Rauf
helped build him and he became the Rav
and he saw that many people in the city
did not have
simple simple mitzvah muz they didn't
have
many of the people
shaved their face with razors
which is like five different sins. It's
like eating pork five times. In fact,
one of
sons of Ysef just in the last few days
spoke very very sternly against all of
these people that
get haircuts that are so short that
there's pretty much nothing left in the
sideburns. And he says it's like they're
eating pork multiple times every time
they get a haircut.
And you can't just blame the barbers.
Don young 34 year old
sees the city is full of secular people
that don't even have muzot
are shaving their face
with razors
and most are not keeping Shabbat.
But he doesn't exactly have a big budget
from the country.
So what does he do? He takes his own
money and he goes and he buys a bunch of
meuzot
and a bunch of kosher shavers machines
which in those days were very very
expensive
and Shabbat timers.
And he sends different people from his
office from the bet midash
knocking on people's doors. Hi. Hello. I
noticed that you don't have a muza here.
Would you like a muza for free?
Ah, come on. What you guys religious
people come to make money on us? He
goes, "No, no, no. We don't want any
money.
It's free.
Oh, and we noticed that you actually
have one, two, three, five, five rooms
here. So five business. Oh, that's how
you make money. So the first one's free,
but the other four, what are you going
to No, no, no. All five are free. Free?
Why?
It's free. Who's paying for this?
The rabbi of the city.
Oh, that young man is paying for all
this. I never met him before. No, he's
doing it for everyone.
And by the way, we noticed that um
you uh don't have a you're shaving with
a razor. Why don't you uh shave with a
something that's more modern? Here you
have a kosher shaver. Ah, so that's how
you guys make money from the shavers.
No, no, this is free, too. What do you
mean this is free? Yeah, this is free.
And by the way, do you keep Shabbat? Go.
No, Shabbat. Listen, I uh I know I I
want to make coffee. I want So this what
you do. Look, we have a Shabbat timer
for you. You could do this and you don't
have to violate Shabbat anymore.
I said that's how you make money for the
timers. What is it? $500,000? Goes, "No,
no, this is free, too.
All of this is free." Yes.
And this is what he did. one house after
another with his own personal money.
And he helped many people do chuva this
way.
One of the people
that did chuva this way was a person by
the name of Elahui.
Elahu listened to Raakshi Don and sent
his two boys to Yeshiva
even though his friends and family made
fun of him. Ah, what they going to be?
how they going to might make money, how
are they going to live your kids, why
you send them to this religious school.
Well, to dare surprise, those two young
boys became some of the leaders of Isra
and one of the
big rabbis in Israel, one of the cities
and
one of the people that started
these
are the fruits
of their father's
efforts
that began with me nephesh
that had
all of history changed
because somebody decided to sacrifice
everything for the sake of am is
the problem today is that most people
want an easy life.
They don't want to make sacrifices. They
want comfort. They want to live on
vacation.
So they may like to hear these stories,
but they don't want to live these
stories.
But this is also why they're never going
to be anyone special.
Most people come and go into this world
and barely anyone outside of their
family ever knew they existed.
Why? Because most people live for
themselves.
But once in a while
you see that there's a diamond in the
rough. There's one family member
somewhere along the line
that did something special
that this family talks about for
generations that other families talk
about.
What was the difference?
They weren't looking for a shortcut.
They weren't looking for a vacation.
They were looking for an opportunity
to take advantage
of the gate of heaven that was open for
them to show Hashem that they're willing
to sacrifice everything for him.
When someone came to the Kazunish
and told him, "Rabbi, what do you think
of the statement that this world is like
a dream?
says a dream, it's only a dream to
somebody that's sleeping.
But someone that's awake
serving Hashem, it's not a dream. They
feel they feel everything.
Every moment of their life, they're
feeling something.
There's no dream.
This life is very much real for those
that are awake.
And that's the truth.
The more you see what people's
expectations are of their life,
the more you realize how the average
person is so far away from being willing
to sacrifice anything for the sake of am
for the sake of strangers.
even though he's a Jew and she's a Jew,
they may be willing to sacrifice
something for their son or daughter,
perhaps even their siblings, best
friend. BUT IF YOU TELL THEM, WILL YOU
sacrifice
everything you have for a Jew that lives
somewhere that you'll never even heard
of and you're never going to meet?
Who's willing to do that?
Few people.
few people.
But you know what's so special about
those few people?
They're the ones that are going to be
named in the book.
Everyone is good. Everyone that serves
Hashem, everyone that's righteous,
follows the Tawra, they're all special.
They're all good.
They're all our brothers and sisters.
We tried to help every one of them if we
could.
But then there's the leaders.
The leaders are not necessarily always
those people that you see on TV signing
big contracts,
YouTube channels, fame, fortune,
very rich, powerful, connected.
No,
you know who the real leaders are of
Islam?
It's the ones that get named in the
book.
Not in people's books. Not in this books
where people name their friends as if
they're heroes just because they want to
look good.
Rather a kadosh's book.
In a kadosh's book, we already know who
the leaders are for good and for bad.
We have
Zimri Ben Salu who before he became
Zimri
he was Schlumiel Benzai
he had an opportunity to be a leader
that's remembered for good forever
but when the moment of truth came to him
he failed and he failed miserably
we have
someone we didn't know
just a few parachut ago
when he did what he did.
It would be surprising if anyone knew he
existed.
But today
there's not a single learned Jew
that doesn't know
who Benad is. And there's not even a
single human being on earth
that knows about the God of Israel and
his Torah that doesn't know about the
results
of his actions and how the Msiah is
going to come from him.
This
is the reason why you can't teach.
It's either you have it or you don't.
It's either you're willing to sacrifice
everything and push yourself to the
limit even though you think that you
pushed yourself to the limit before.
And now the past limit seems like it was
only practice because this is the real
one. But in reality, this one is only
practice. By the time you get to the
next one and you thought you were
finished, but in reality it was only
practice because you got to a new one.
Neph is not really just a one-time
thing.
It's a life.
There is one that stands out like the
stories we told. But don't think for a
moment that the entire lives of these
people was defined by that one moment.
No, they were sacrificing well before
these stories.
It's just that those sacrifices,
those final ones,
brought everything they did
and summed it up in a single act.
And with that single act,
all of the blessings you can possibly
ever imagine and not imagine came upon
them
and their descendants
when they changed history with what
seems like a single action, but it
really wasn't one action. It was a life,
a life of decisions
to sacrifice themselves for the sake of
a
and his children that he loves.
May we all have the merit and the
strength
to sacrifice everything we can and even
the things we don't think we can
for Hashem and his children. Because at
the end of the day,
everybody wants to be in the book.
Question is,
are we all going to do
what's necessary to be included?
Only some of us.
Hopefully, it's somebody that's
watching.
This is some of the things we
learned
and can't teach
because when the moment of truth comes
to each and every single one of you,
I won't be there and neither would
anybody else. No book will help you. No
sh will help you.
You'll be on your own to decide. Even if
you get advice from me or anybody else,
at the end it'll be your decision and
hopefully you make the right one. Now,
I want to
go to some questions with you guys. I
know you guys have some great questions.
I also have a question for you guys that
um there is uh there is a um
some interesting things to talk about.
Last week's question was
the jokester friend that came to the
wedding and
pretended like he was so happy for the
wedding
that he wanted to make a blessing and
then of Hanu and then he pulled out a
fruit out of his hand that he hasn't
eaten in a year and he did theu and the
question was whether
everyone needs to say amen.
Some of you said yes. Some of you said
no. Some of you said depend. If you
heard it, didn't hear it. Everybody had
different interesting answers. And the
answer is no. They do not need to say
amen. And the reason why is because he
acted inappropriately and disrespected
the blessing.
And while everyone heard his blessing,
they all knew that he's not allowed to
make that blessing on what he was doing
and they weren't prepared to say amen to
that.
And when he was really subconsciously
making a blessing on the fruit,
it's as if he forced them
into the position.
And with that, they're not supposed to
say amen. In fact, they're not allowed
to say amen. The zad says that there's
something called amen a orphan amen.
When a person says amen unnecessarily,
those amens will come and prosecute
against the person. Some people when
they say amen, they say amen several
times. Those are called orphaned amens.
The person will be punished for it. Not
allowed to say that for no reason.
A man means
God is the king and he's reliable.
Meaning whatever he says he'll do.
Reward and punishment he'll do. So you
can't just
say this as if you're just saying a uh
threeletter word in Hebrew and
four-letter word in English. Amen has
significant meaning.
So don't say it wastefully.
But don't miss out an opportunity to say
it when you have to. When somebody makes
a blessing, there's a prayer and so on.
Now the question
I'm debating between these two questions
to ask you guys whether give you an easy
one or a little harder one.
Let's see.
Yeah. Well, I I think that Yeah. Okay.
The guy
was doing a business deal. Let's just
say he was selling the other guy a
bicycle.
And the guy will call the guy that's
selling the bicycle is Reuben. And the
guy that's buying the bicycle, the
Shimon.
Shimon says, "I want this bicycle.
How much you want?" And Ruben says, "I
want $500.
It's top-of-the-line bike." Shimon says,
"You got a deal."
"Okay, give me the money and I'll give
you the bike." Goes, "No problem." He
goes into the house. He writes a check
for $500
and he gives it to Reuben. He says, "But
you have to deposit it today."
You agree?
Said, "Sure, why not?"
Guess the $500. He goes on his way,
happy that he doesn't have the bike
anymore. He didn't want it anymore.
Happy that he has some money that he
could do some stuff with.
And Shimon goes his way.
On the way to the bank, Ruven gets a
call from his wife and she says, "Honey,
you got to come home. You got to take
care of one of the kids. I have to go to
the store." Okay, fine. He comes home,
takes care of the kids, and uh before
you know it, by the time his wife comes
back,
the bank is closed, so he doesn't go to
the bank. Okay, no big deal.
Now,
the next day,
he says, "You know what? I'll go to the
bank now
and uh I'll go deposit the check
or I'll go and deposit. You just realize
I could deposit it today in the year
2026 according to the Gregorian
calendar. You could deposit checks on
simply taking a picture of it. That's
why some of our students and supporters
instead of donating with the credit card
they prefer to send us checks in the
mail and some of them prefer to send me
just a picture of the back and the front
of the check.
Either way works.
Anyway, he says, "You know what? I'm
going to take a picture of the check and
I'll deposit it." He goes to his back to
get the check, takes out the check, and
what does he see?
Ah, this thief Shimon.
He used
a a pen with special ink that the ink
disappears.
THE CHECK IS BLANK.
RIGHT away he goes to Shimon's house,
knocks on the door like he owns the
house. HEY, HEY, COME OUT.
Shimon comes out in his robe. Hey,
what's up, man? How are you? Listen,
give me my money. Give me my bike.
Something. Cuz what are you talking
about? Goes, "No, come on. Stop playing
with me." What?
You gave me a check. I gave you a bike.
But you gave me a check with
disappearing ink.
He said, "Yeah, but you agreed that
you're going TO DEPOSIT IT YESTERDAY.
HAD YOU DEPOSITED yesterday like you
agreed? You would have been able to
deposit it. You could have gone to the
bank yesterday. You had plenty of time."
No, but I didn't go yesterday. But you
said you agreed. I TOLD YOU DEPOSITED
YESTERDAY, RIGHT? DIDN'T I SAY THAT?
YEAH, but I didn't know why. That's
NASA. And you could have asked. I told
YOU DEPOSITED YESTERDAY. YOU could have
taken a picture of it yesterday, but you
didn't. So, I paid you already. You
asked for $500 a check. I GAVE YOU $500
CHECK. IT'S NOT MY fault that uh the ink
disappeared.
And they now want to go to Dean Ta.
Ruben says he didn't pay me. Shimon says
I paid him. And he even admits that I
gave him a check and it was written on
it. $500
and he agrees that he said he's going to
deposit it that day. So when he didn't
deposit IT THAT DAY, HE violated the
agreement.
Only problem is that you guys are the
diane.
You guys are the diane. What do you
rule? Did he pay him the $500 or he
didn't pay him the $500?
It's an interesting question.
Not necessarily so simple, but let's see
what you guys say.
>> I'd like to introduce you to your new
best friend. We did it. AI Rabbi is
here. It's an AI model that is based on
kosher Torah sources. 30 different
languages that are available to you. So
if you want to ask it in Spanish, in
Chinese, Portuguese, whatever you want
to do, it's available for you. Can you
tell me about?
So it's timestamped to the shield. You
press this green button AI rabbi on your
WhatsApp.
>> You'll have the ability to ask questions
at will. We'll be providing sources and
most importantly you'll be able to know
the truth and be able to rely on the
sources.
>> With that now you guys can start asking
me some questions and those who will
give us the answers.
I'm glad you like the question.
Okay. Jason says it's simply he didn't
pay. Okay.
All right. He had the seat in his heart.
Okay. Fine.
Let's see.
Thank you for the compliments. Now the
questions, guys.
Let's see.
If you guys want to discuss things among
yourselves, please discuss it somewhere
else so I can see the questions because
you're getting in the way. I have to go
through every comment to find the
questions. And if you guys are having a
discussion, it's a little annoying.
Rabbi, what do you think about the
Muslim protests in Brooklyn?
What do I think? I don't think about it.
Why would I think about it? Why would I
waste even a half a second thinking
about
a bunch of imbeciles that have nothing
to do with their life other than scream
in the streets about people that they
hate for no reason whatsoever?
Why why would I spend any time thinking
about it? I already have established
that these people are have pee brains.
I've established that they hate for no
reason. have established that they do
not even know how to treat each other,
needless to say, to treat anybody else.
Why would their hate matter to me? Now,
if you're asking why is there so much
anti-semitism
in the world today, that's something
that we've asked many times and answered
many times. One of Hashem's main tools
that he uses to help AmI get a wakeup
call and do chuva is by making the
nations hate them.
Because when the nations ignore amy
times ignores Hashem we've seen this
time and time again over the years. But
when the nations chase and torment am we
see that many people in Israel come back
to Hashem because they have nowhere else
to run.
And this is actually what
says that when a Jew does not sanctify
the Shabbat,
Hashem sends the goim
to dodah.
Abdullah means abdah what we do at the
end of Shabbat. But abdah also means
separation.
So
we have more anti-semitism because
Hashem wants us to do chuva.
What do I call a non-Jewish person?
Their name
whatever their name is.
What else should I call them?
Okay. What's the answer to the invisible
ink question?
Uh, well, that's what you're going to
get next week. I want everyone to think
about it, talk about it with their
family, and next week I answer it. I
usually ask a question and answer it the
following week. I just I asked a
question last week about a uh a blessing
of whether whether everyone else should
say amen or not, and I answered it this
week. And then uh next week, I'll answer
this question and also give you guys
another question.
Isn't giving someone a blank check a bad
thing? Of course, it's a bad thing. It's
also illegal.
But the question is whether it's allowed
or not according to the Torah.
regarding my question about the line
between and I did not get an answer I
expected
I appreciate what question did you ask I
don't remember sorry I don't remember
answering that question uh today so it
must have been a different time
do you consider non-Jews human
what else should I consider them arms
legs they were created by God
uh created all humans, created all
creatures. He created the Jews and the
non-Jews.
What else would the non-Jew be if not a
human being?
Not really sure. Not really sure why uh
you would think that any normal person
would think that non-Jews are not human.
Now, if you're asking me, do I like all
non-Jews? Absolutely not. I also don't
like all Jews either. There are some
people that are good that are beloved to
me and beloved to Hashem and some people
that are nasty, both Jews and non-Jews.
So say there's no such thing as
oneizefits-all.
As far as you, I don't even know. You
seem like a person that has some
interesting questions, but I don't know
you enough. But
if you continue asking questions and you
continue watching the lectures, I'm sure
we'll get to know each other.
What will the shekele be used for when
everything is free in the future? Well,
it's not necessarily going to be free.
uh the Rambam says that a lot of the
basic uh ways of the world will continue
even after Msiah comes there's just not
going to be
so it's not necessarily going to turn
into a uh you could just go anywhere and
uh take whatever you want that will
create mayhem why would anybody uh
produce anything if they're not going to
benefit out of it in some way or another
but again we're not going to know
exactly what's going to be when Mashiah
comes until it comes
Which book would you recommend for
learning everyday laws? If you're a
safari Jew, then I would recommend Yalut
Yusf. Uh if you could afford to buy the
whole set, I highly recommend buying the
whole set. If you cannot, you could just
buy one book uh out of it at a time,
finish it, and then get the next one. I
would start off uh with um uh laws of
which is day-to-day rules, day-to-day
things. Uh then after that maybe the
laws of Shabbat
and then laws of blessings and so on.
Uh if you're Ashkanazi, then there are
many books uh that you can get on art
scroll that teach day-to-day laws. So it
all depends.
You could also sign up to our WhatsApp
group. Uh we have a WhatsApp group. It's
called Al daily
that uh goes through the laws every day.
It sends out a picture with an on it
twice a day.
Our amazing team uh puts uh puts it
together. makes it easier to learn and
to remember these laws and you get it
every day. You sign up to the WhatsApp
group and you get a couple of them a
day. We have Bo Hashem close to a
thousand people in the group and uh it
continues to grow. We're going to have
to start other groups. So, if you want
to get a couple of easy things to learn
and and remember every day, um then uh
that's uh that uh you could sign up to
the WhatsApp group.
Do we still have living prophets like in
old days? No. Prophecy stopped at the
time of the destruction of the betdash.
A little bit before the destruction of
the bet mikdash second betmikdash
prophecy ceased ended
last prophet was Mika.
When one beginner starts learning Garra
is he just reading the English and the
Hebrew Rashi too. And how about the
other English inputs at the bottom? The
uh
first off I would recommend the arch
scroll gamarra for people that are
learning it for the first time
especially when you're older. Uh and uh
if you're reading the uh artmar then
read everything that's on the page
everything that's on the English side
which means all of the English on top
which is the gimra part which also
includes uh rashi and the bottom that is
uh commentary that is explanation of the
top uh and also some behind the scenes
of other things that you can learn from
it. So everything that's on the English
side, read that. If you're reading it in
Hebrew in Arch, then they have
everything in Hebrew.
If you're reading it in French, then
read in French, but read it in your
first language. That's the key.
If you're a young kid and you're just
starting yeshiva right now, then you
could obviously learn the language, too.
Learn Ara Aramaic. But if you're already
you're starting to learn Gumarra uh as
an adult, uh don't focus on learning
Aramaic. Focus on learning the actual
Gumraar. what the actual tomud says.
Okay, I'll rephrase. How does one know
he's done enough
and must now trust and have
so it all depends on the person itself.
Now there is the normal level ofoot
which is to do what is normally expected
of a person and anything above and
beyond is is already uh excess
uh
so for example if let's say a person is
working he should work regular job and
the rest of his time that he has at home
learn Tawra spend some time with his
family and uh go back to work. Now,
you're going to say, "But some for some
people, their work doesn't give them
enough money." You're right. They're uh
sometimes their work doesn't give them
enough money, but I would not
necessarily recommend for a person to
spend all of their time that they're
supposed to be studying Torah uh and
even being with their family to also
work a second job just just because they
think that that's going to end up making
them the money. So, what the what the
sufficient amount of loot is a normal
schedule.
The Rambam says if you uh sleep 8 hours,
you work 8 hours and you learn Torah 8
hours. Of course, today we wish most
people learned even one hour of Torah,
but there are of course some people that
learn much more than that. Uh but either
way, a person needs to uh look at things
and don't go overboard with your effort.
Do whatever is expected, whatever is the
norm, not above and beyond.
Why have the Jewish people been kicked
out of so many countries over time?
Uh that's actually one of the questions
we answer in our movie Gogum Magog. The
movie Go Magog is highly recommended for
all people to watch whether you're Jew
or Gentile to watch that movie. And uh
the reason why is because there is a lot
of things that people
don't uh realize that are happening in
the world right now that have already
already been written thousands and
thousands of years ago. Now while the
anti-semmites like to uh highlight the
fact that the Jewish people were kicked
out of every single country, they don't
realize that this is actually one of the
things that God promised us that is
going to happen.
Why would God want us to get kicked out
of every single place?
So, as a short version of what I said in
the film is that Hashem intentionally
makes us get kicked out of other places
because when we go to a place, what do
what do Jewish people do when they go to
to a new city? The first thing they do
is make it a Jewish city. Meaning they
you know, we start moving into a certain
part of town, we want it to be a Jewish
part of town. all of our friends,
family. But how what makes it Jewish? It
has to have a synagogue. It has to have
a Jewish school. It has to have a
mikvet. It has to have kosher market. It
has to have all the basic needs of a
Jewish life.
So now once we go there
and we settle there for a while, of
course some people start succeeding. So
succeeding in business, succeeding in
all types of other things
and build more places and more places.
But then after we're at a place, whether
it be Spain or it be Germany or Poland,
Russia, different places that Amisad has
been in throughout all of the years,
when we're there for a while, we start
becoming very very comfortable
and unfortunately less religious, less
connected to Hashem. the the wealth is
not something that makes Israel better.
In fact, the itself says that Hashem
loves us when we're poor because that's
when we're most connected to him.
So, it's a sad reality. That's why
there's also a verse in the Torah that
says, Hashem says to us, once I give you
uh everything that you want, don't
forget me. Which is sounds strange. Why
would we forget God after he gives us
everything he wants? because that's the
natural evil inclination that we have.
So the point is is that once we are
coming to a place for the first time and
we start building it, we build it and we
start building shs and start building
you know uh Jewish daycarees and mikv
and synagogues and so and yeshivas and
so on and coals. But after we become
comfortable
less people go to those mikv less people
go to the yeshiva less people go to the
synagogue less people become religious.
So what does Hashem do? He makes as hate
us, Ishmael hate us, kick us out, which
forces us to go to a different city and
start all over again. What do we do?
Well, we need it to be a Jewish city. So
what is a Jewish city? We need a
synagogue. We need a mikvet. We need a
Jewish market. We need a Jewish daycare,
a yeshiva, which inherently makes us
more religious again. And that's how
Hashem systematically
keeps his children protected
from being lost forever.
How? By kicking us out of everywhere and
forcing us to rebuild over and over
again. So while the anti-semites think
that this is somehow a Hashem hates us
type of thing,
it's quite the opposite.
He loves us so much that he in essence
puts us through hell and back to
preserve us because he promised us that
he will never forsake us.
All right.
I wanted to ask if I couldn't read the
whole parala
and I can't catch up can I skip the para
that I couldn't read and go to the para
of this week and read the other one
slowly okay so first you should know
that to complete
which is reading the para twice and
commentary once you actually have not
until Shabbat like most people think you
actually have until Tuesday morning till
about Tuesday morning Tuesday afternoon
you're you're still able to fulfill last
week's so that's the first thing and
fulfill that mitzvah fulfill that and
then but if let's say for example
Tuesday has come and gone and you still
didn't do last week's para then start
off already this week's now even if
let's say you didn't finish last week's
para and it's Sunday you could still do
this week's para. You don't have to do
last week's para. You can. You should,
but you don't have to. You could do this
week's para.
Why don't Jews believe in Jesus? Because
he was a liar that turned himself into
an idol. And I have many lectures about
this topic that show that the New
Testament is a false testament.
And uh there's a lot of mistakes in it
that are man-made errors that show that
uh it's not divine.
If you want to learn, then uh then you
can you're welcome to. If you want to
simply argue for the sake of arguing,
you're wasting your time.
Rabbi, is there not enough resources for
good Jewish souls stuck in drug abuse?
What could be done about it in your
opinion? Also, any rehab in the US is
like useless as is in Israel.
It's
it's in Israel. Okay. So,
as far as resources for people that are
addicted to drugs,
obviously going to a uh rehab is
necessary for many people, for most
people, I would even say. Uh but rehab
in itself is not going to help a person
that's not willing to help themsel. Uh
there is a guy here in America that I
know that uses Mousar to help people uh
overcome uh uh drug addiction. He says
it's very very effective. Uh I spoke to
a couple of people that worked for him.
I think a couple of them were even
patients of him before they started
working for him and they speak very
highly of him. Um but uh as far as in
America, that's the only one that I know
of. uh it's actually here in Florida and
uh in regards to Israel, I'm sure they
they exist over there. Ultimately, a
person has to decide whether they want
to
uh live for temporary pleasure or
permanent pleasure. If they want
temporary pleasure, then it's going to
be very very hard for them to convince
themselves to abandon drugs that make
them feel that temporary pleasure.
But if they decide that they want to
live for permanent pleasure, which means
to go to heaven, then they'll abandon
those drugs and uh whether it's a
process or it's a uh you know uh
stopping cold, obviously everybody in
their own way. Uh the key is to know
that anyone that is wants to be
connected to Hashem has to abandon those
types of things because it alters your
state of mind. It alters your ability to
uh serve Hashem and uh ultimately it'll
lead you to make a lot of really really
horrible decisions that you'll regret
and it's a sin.
Rabbi said, "Donald Trump recently told
Jews to keep Shabbat this week. What do
you think the deeper meaning of that
message is spiritually and practically?"
Well, I'm not inside Donald Trump's mind
uh to tell you what I uh why he did what
he did. I can tell you what I think uh
led him to it. Number one, his daughter
converted to Judaism. His son-in-law is
Jewish. Uh they actually themselves have
spoken very very highly uh about how
much they love Shabbat. So he has been
aware and familiar with Shabbat. And uh
I believe he said one time that when he
uh his daughter first converted, he
wasn't so happy with it. But once he saw
how it impacted her life in such a
positive way, he was very very proud of
her and very happy with her. So he has
seen uh the personally personally has
seen uh the benefits of Shabbat, the
benefits of Orthodox Judaism. So that's
one thing. Anytime somebody has a
personal experience that's positive,
that already makes an impression on
them. And that's why I always tell
people that the best motivator to help
your friends, family, you know, and
whoever you want to help do chuva is
your own personal behavior. If you
become a better quality person, a more
ethical person, a more uh sincere
person, a happier person, a more calm
person, a more generous person, in so
many words, a better version of yourself
after you do chuva, after you start
keeping mitzvot, that's going to be the
biggest motivator for the people that
love you and and and are around you to
do the same thing, to also do cha. But
if you're a nasty person, but have a
keep on, then guess what? You actually
make them not want to be religious. So
it works both ways. So from that
perspective, it seems like Donald Trump
has gotten a very very positive uh
impression of Shabbat and Judaism. I
think that he also has learned the hard
way uh that there's a difference between
uh Jews that are observant of the Torah
and and and connected to Hashem and Jews
that are enemies of God, that are also
enemies of anything that's true. These
lefty liberals that unfortunately cause
a lot of problems in the world. and uh
make uh uh you know make the glee think
that all Jews are bad like the George
Soros of the world and the the Hollywood
people that uh you know uh one day he's
he the another day is she another day is
it all those types of crazy people. So
either way I think that the impression
that Donald Trump has is is positive.
Second thing is it seems like Donald
Trump is very much aware that there's a
God that's in essence not only
protecting him but constantly constantly
there because he mentions God on a
regular basis. I wish that the Jewish
leaders and and in in politics and
otherwise would mention God as often as
Donald Trump does. So it's it's very
very impressive that uh he he's aware
that God saved him. He's aware that God
let him win and so on and so forth. So
that's also a very positive thing. Now
does that make uh Donald Trump the
Messiah? Absolutely not. The Mashiach
has to be one of the descendants of King
David and has to be Jewish. Uh so it's
he's not the Messiah like some crazy
people think. But it seems like he is
going in a good path uh of doing that.
Uh but always have to remember that you
know
the the hearts of leaders are in the
hands of Hashem. Meaning that once
somebody becomes a leader, Hashem starts
pulling the strings to influence them to
do certain things that they're doing,
whether it's to go to war or it's to uh
uh, you know, to tell people to keep
Shabbat, whatever it is. So it's
obviously also a message from Hashem to
try to influence his nation to do chuva
in the most unusual way in the world
because for the first time in history a
non-Jewish leader actually recommended
for for Jewish people to keep Shabbat. I
mean this is a unbelievable
uh situation very very unprecedented. So
obviously Hashem is behind this. Uh and
I think that uh Donald Trump did himself
a great service as far as spiritually
speaking uh by doing that because he uh
he's going to get a lot of merits for
anybody that keeps Shabbat because of
him. Even if it's only once, needless to
say, he's going to get a lot of merits.
So that alone was was reason enough for
Hashem to save his life three times. At
least the three times that we know of
people trying to assassinate him. So I
think it's very good. I think it's a uh
hopefully people listen and they
actually do keep Shabbat not just once
but on a permanent basis. But the point
being is that people always have to
remember that God is the one that runs
the world. No one else does. It's only
God that runs the world. And Hashem
decides
uh who's going to be the leader, who
lives, who doesn't, who wins, who loses.
And ultimately, if anybody wants to be
on the uh on the on the good side of
God, they have to listen to what he said
and follow it, which is what the Torah
says, and they have to abandon anything
that's against the Torah. So, this is
one of the amazing things that Hashem is
doing at the end of days as he's trying
to save more and more of his children
before the end comes in usual and
unusual ways. And people listen
Does does the Rob think that uh Jared
Kushner's wife is a Jewish?
I mean, I wasn't at the bed. She
converted, but to my knowledge, she
converted an Orthodox Jewish.
So, I don't uh I don't have any any any
reason to think otherwise.
I I mean I think that uh the fact that
uh
she converted um is I know there's there
was a lot of people saying that it
wasn't uh um legit, but again it's a lot
of there's a lot of I wasn't there to
say otherwise. So
I don't have any reason to believe that
she's not Jewish.
And you don't need to send me
information to show me one way or the
other because I don't really care enough
to uh investigate that type of stuff.
Somebody wants to be Jewish, there's one
way to do it. If they don't do it, then
they're lying to themselves.
Why is referred to as Pasha of the
anxious
regarding anxiety and I never heard it.
So I would love to know who actually
calls it
the pa of the anxious. I never heard it.
Never heard it.
Should one learn
If their community has a fully and
carrying on Shabbat it's easy there
a Jew has to learn the entire Torah not
just he has to learn
he has to learn Shabbat he has to learn
and many many other
and then after he finishes the he has to
do it again and after he finishes it
again maybe start the shami and after he
does the shami
he has to also complete the rest of the
60 mto that's in the Mishna because the
Mishna has more m than the Talmud
and of course he has all of the and he
has the
there's no end to the Torah.
So if the answer is if the question is
ever should a Jew learn to the answer is
always yes.
Is Trump technically doing kiru in a
Shabbat message?
Seems like it.
definitely seems like it.
I can tell you this that uh his uh
favorable talk about Jews and uh and
also uh uh this is definitely a big plus
on his spiritual account. So
he probably got more merits
uh in the last few days and will get
more merits in the next few days than he
got in his entire life.
put together.
What if a man commits a crime and says
that Hashem made me do it?
Then you put that man into a mental
institution
and give them one of those nice jackets
and uh a few pills every day. Hopefully
he'll get uh healthy one day.
I want to start and inspired to start
the dafomi. Should I start with the
program where they're currently up to or
from? Start where they're up to. Just
start wherever they are. Start as soon
as possible. Don't wait from the Don't
wait to go to the beginning. Just get
started.
Donald Trump's immigration policy is
needlessly cruel.
We're compelled to engage in fixing it.
One of the problems with people that uh
speak about politics is that they forget
that as a civilian,
no matter how much news you read and how
many conspiracy theories you watch on
YouTube, you're always privy to only
part of the information.
So, as much as a person would want to
conclude things as if they have full
knowledge of what's going on behind the
scenes, they don't. It's just like, you
know, you're uh you know, a customer
comes to your store and he sees that uh
you're uh you know, you're slow to get
to him uh and and and you know, and ask
him, can I help you, sir? and he already
assumes that you're a bad businessman,
that you don't care about your customers
and that uh you know all of these other
things and he decides to walk out.
Little does he know that you just had a
surgery on your foot and you can't walk
any faster and in fact it hurts you
every time you take a step. So he
thought he knew all the facts but he
didn't. And the same goes with people
that talk politics and uh they think
that they know what's going on. They
think they know what's going on behind
the scenes. And I can tell you from
personal experience, whether it be
business and otherwise, that there is no
possible way for anyone on the outside
to ever know everything that's on the
inside. Impossible. With that being
said,
even if a person says, "I disagree with
the what the president is doing, the
president of uh the country you live in,
whether it be Israel or or or America or
Australia or I don't know, Mars, where
Elon Musk wants to build something.
Who cares that you disagree?"
meaning okay so you disagree that why
spend so much energy on it try to live
your life and do the best you can not to
be hurt by the things by the laws that
uh you don't like so if they have
drinking laws that you don't like don't
drink if they have I don't know uh
business laws that you don't like don't
go into those businesses
now if you're going to say yeah but this
is immigration and I got a cousin that's
here and he's got family. I'm very very
well aware of the whole immigration.
Trust me, I deal with it. We've been
trying to get uh Robert Fry, my dear RV
to come to America for six, seven years,
six years. And uh the the stuff that
I've had to deal with over the last six
years with immigration just for that and
I've obviously have a big history with
immigration my whole life already. Uh we
immigrated here from Israel. But the
point is that it's a uh it's it's it's
not a pretty picture. It's not an
efficient system. It's not a perfect
system. But what is who has a perfect
system? Nobody has a perfect system. And
also you have to understand that many
people that do come to this country that
create a lot of uh damage, crime, drugs,
all those different things, the previous
administrations didn't care if
terrorists were coming here. They were
even helping some of them come here. at
least Donald Trump is trying to limit
that. So, I don't necessarily uh love
the immigration policies when it comes
to to to certain things that are
inefficient, but I don't necessarily
blame it on him. He didn't come into a
finished product. He came into a broken
product and he's trying to fix it to the
best of his abilities with again with
limitations that exist and pre-existed
before him. Now, as far as the uh them
throwing out illegal immigrants and
putting them into all types of places
that I I heard is is very horrible. Of
course, I feel bad for anybody that's
being tormented, that's being tortured,
that's being kicked out, that's being uh
hurt in any way, shape, or form.
But at the end of the day, there's a
couple of things that everybody needs to
know. Number one, Hashem runs the world.
Nobody else.
Hashem runs the world. Which means
anything that's happening to anybody in
the world is not because of Donald
Trump. It's not because of Putin. It's
not because of BB Netanyahu. It's not
because of Elon Musk. It's not because
of the stock market. It's not because of
the weather. It's not because of their
luck. It's because Hashem decided this
will be. Why? Because he is running the
world. Every piece has to go somewhere
based on pre you know the actions that
they took. They have certain
possibilities. It's a perfect system
that's beyond the scope of our ability
to even think we understand.
So, anything that's happening to
anybody, that's because Hashem is
allowing it to happen. People that are
doing evil choose to do evil, but those
that get hurt by evil, it's because
Hashem is allowing them to get hurt by
evil because they themselves have done
evil and this is their tikun. So, it's
important for people to know that Hashem
runs the world. Why? Because once you
start thinking that a a human being runs
the world, whether it be Donald Trump or
anybody else, you're already far far
away from the truth. You're in never
neverland.
So, that's the first thing. The second
thing is
there has never been
any president, anybody, any king that
everyone agreed with, that everyone uh
loved, that everyone listened to. Even
Mosheu, the greatest leader of all time,
had endless enemies. Korak tried to kill
him. The Tanv tried to kill him. The
tried to kill everybody tried. The
people almost stoned him. and he was the
greatest leader of all. He saved them
for no reason, for no benefit.
Instead of them thanking him, they
called him a uh he's a womanizer and a
thief.
So you have to understand that it's
lonely on top. Why is it lonely on top?
Because the people that judge you, the
people that criticize you don't actually
know you or anything that you're doing.
They just have hearsay. They have what
they heard. They have what they think
they understand. They have pieces of the
puzzle, pieces of the story that they
think they could put together and
thereby conclude as if it's a whole
picture. But in reality, IT'S NOT EVEN A
HALF A PICTURE.
It's not even a half a picture.
Just imagine you see two people arguing
AND YOU ALREADY THINK THIS GUY'S RIGHT,
THAT GUY'S RIGHT. YOU DON'T REALIZE
THESE people are either brothers or
longtime enemies or they're partners or,
you know, in business or they're
competitors. YOU HAVE NO IDEA. YOU'RE
LOOKING FROM AFAR.
SO, when people start talking about
politics, it's really foolish because
you have no idea what you're talking
about. Even the people that are the
so-called talking heads on television
pretending they know what's going on in
the White House or they know what's
going on in Israel, they know what's
going on in Russia, they know what's
going on in wherever they know. They
don't even know what's going on in their
own backyard. They don't even know
what's going on with their own spouses
that are cheating on them. They don't
know anything.
People pretend they know stuff. They
don't know anything.
So you have to understand one thing you
should all know is that God runs the
world. That's the only thing that's
certain. Number two, that if you're
expecting to ever have a leader of any
type that you're always going to agree
with, you're simply expecting something
that's unrealistic.
You're expecting something that's not
realistic. And in fact, if you were the
leader,
you would have enemies too. Why? Not
everybody agrees with you. And you would
have policies that some people will
think are evil or or whatever they are.
So again, everyone is human. Everyone is
flawed. Everyone is going to try to do
whatever they think is the best. Usually
the ones that are more uh uh successful
in actually doing something good are
people that are connected to the Torah,
that are connected to God because then
they have morality behind them. Uh
that's you know the divine morality
already steers you in the right
direction. The previous presidents, the
previous leaders in many places have
either been atheists or idoltors or just
simply perverted people that are an
embarrassment to human me to to mankind.
But needless to say, if you have
somebody that's trying to do good,
that's that's that's mentioning God on a
regular basis, I think that again, I'm
not saying that uh everybody has to
start uh uh you know uh voting and and
and wearing hats, but do you have
anybody that you think will actually do
a better job right now? No. He's done
he's done more uh than anybody else
that's in a positive way. Quite frankly,
uh there's a uh I'd be surprised if uh
he doesn't get end up counting as the
most successful president uh in in
recent if not history because he's doing
a lot of things that people talk about
but never do anything about.
So I certainly
uh don't agree with everything anybody
says,
but
you have results. You also have results
here.
And you see he is trying to do to
address things to protect his country,
to protect his people. And uh he's not
only looking at his own people as being
the Americans, he's looking at everybody
that lives in America, including Jewish
people, including non-Jewish people. So
that's actually very uh very impressive.
I'm very impressed.
I don't think that uh I don't think that
u you know you've had a president that
was as favorable to you know as as he
has and I in the past
in his first administration I wasn't
exactly a big fan. I wasn't a fan of the
other guy either as but the point is
that uh I think he's gotten better over
time. We'll see. We'll see.
What happened with Robert Frames uh
green card
is one of the most bizarre things in the
world. Um it's not over, but uh we spent
a fortune on lawyers and and legal fees
and all types of stuff.
The short version of the story is this.
Robert Fry is a very very special
person. We got a uh approved by America
for a special person's green card or
special b special person's visa which is
like what they give Nobel prize winners
and and uh major scientists like when
Einstein came to America. Okay. Uh or a
bunch of German scientists came to
America to help with the atom bomb. Uh,
so Reme got one of those and he was
literally two steps away from coming
here and doing everything we've wanted
to do and all the money and all the time
and all the effort and over 800 pages of
proofs. That's his his file was over 800
pages. That's his application.
So it wasn't like a one, two, three
process. It wasn't uh it was a lot of
effort, a lot of money. was everything.
But we got approved which was like you
know a celebration but
there was one step left to go to the
cons uh uh consulate in Israel uh to
give the stamp to leave to go but
unfortunately run you know we do not
have control of uh who we deal with and
how we deal with and we also don't know
what Hashem uh has planned for us. So,
we were surprised when he went to the
consulate
uh the uh the woman that was behind the
uh the the glass was a Arab uh
anti-semite apparently. And uh she
looked at him, she saw his uh approval,
she goes she says to him, "You're not
special." Closed the window on him.
Next. That's it. That was that was the
interview. She just decided this
religious Jew, this rabbi cannot be
special like scientists and everybody
else completely ignoring the law of
America, the law of the immigration
system, the law of everything.
And
unfortunately, one of the things we
learned is that each
uh uh place of immigration, each
consulate is like its own little
country.
So after that
disaster,
I actually came to Israel and uh we set
up another appointment which cost a
bunch of money because every time you
make an appointment, you have to pay uh
a few thousand dollars for each person
and so on. So it was a lot of money and
a lot of time and a lot of effort. And
we got a letter from the lawyer, from
this, from that, everything to go to a
different consulate, went to Tel Aviv.
And I thought I was going to be able to
get enter with them. They didn't let me
enter. Uh it was at some awful early
hour. Anyway, we got there. They tell me
I have to wait outside. They go inside
and uh short while later, he comes
outside. He says, "It happened again."
What do you mean happened again? He
said, "As soon as I got there, the uh
teller behind the thing said, wait, you
got uh they they rejected you at the
other consulate." Okay, so I'm not even
going to look at this file. and close
the window on his face,
which is actually illegal for them to do
that the first time and even more
illegal the second time.
Now,
since we are
people that are connected to Hashem,
people that love Hashem, people that
fear Hashem, people that are trying
their best to serve Hashem, we know that
everything is from Hashem.
But it's still heartbreaking. So it's
heartbreaking but you know this is what
the will of Hashem was at that time but
it doesn't mean we give up. We continue
we continue trying we continue doing
other things
but it's a it was one thing to another.
It's been a whole experience for years.
You know when when the uh when I
suggested this whole thing to to do get
that special visa the lawyer said this
is like one of them billion shot. When
we got approved the lawyer said that
it's the only time he's ever seen
anything like this happen. So, it was a
miracle and a half, but then we had like
a negative miracle happen. Either way,
we're uh there's going to be a lot of
surprises. There's going to be a lot of
ups and downs in life, but that's
exactly what our sh was about tonight.
That the moment of truth of where you
really stand is how you act after these
difficult tests. How you act after these
difficult tests. That's that's really
what it comes down to. you have a
difficult test, what do you do? So, um
this is uh was one of the biggest tests
we had and uh if not the biggest test on
uh on on a on a certain scale, but
nonetheless
uh the show must keep going. It must go
on.
Rabbi, you still in Bokeh? I found you
from an older podcast and I have some
questions. Uh, no. I don't live in Boca
Raton. Um, I live in Florida. I live in
Cooper City, but not Boca Raton.
How do we make
fruit? Is it first?
Yeah.
I really understand what you're saying.
I don't know what you're saying. Sorry.
I don't really understand the whole um
question.
uh if someone went to pay at a mechanic
and it turned out the mechanic had idols
in the office but the person went in
anyway because he didn't know what to
do. What should he have done and how to
do chudah? It's not his uh the person
that went into the store or to the
mechanic is not uh making any sin by
going into it. It's not a uh he's not
it's not his idols. Number one. Number
two, the guy is not necessarily
worshiping them. uh right there and then
uh he may or may not when the when the
customer is not there but it's not a
place of worship so there's no problem.
Uh a great rabbi told my husband that he
should wear a ben in addition to regular
rashi.
Uh which one does he put on first and
where do we purchase it? Should all men
wear both? Okay. So uh the uh Rabad
actually was very very particular to uh
get people to also put on there's a very
high level of
uh but you need to know how to do it. So
number one that the Torah obligates us
to put on but that is that's the which
means you first put on the rash
and make a blessing on the rash. You
keep those on uh e until the end of
prayer
uh and then once you finish everything
you finish then you put on the
without a blessing. You don't make a
blessing with the it will be will be a
sin without a blessing. You put them on
and you say the is
paragraphs uh and then you take them
off. That's the ideal way of putting.
Um the other way of putting on that some
people do is that they put the rash on
obviously first. It's always first and
you make a blessing on the rashim and
then after they complete the amida
then they take off the rashim
and uh they put on the
and they do the is
and they continue the rest of the prayer
with uh until the end with the tam.
Again, you never make a blessing on
but the uh the two ways of doing it is
either u doing it at the end of prayer
or uh in the middle
says that the and his father said that
the ideal way is to actually do it at
the end of prayer not in the middle
because sometimes people end up losing
focus or uh you know missing prayers or
you know all types of other things that
happen when you're in a hurry. Now,
should somebody do it? Absolutely. Every
married Jew uh should do it. Uh single
men should not put on raenutam. It's
only for married men. Uh and uh one
other thing that uh it's very highly
recommended to do with is to learn to uh
for at least a few minutes if not more
with your after you pray after you
finish praying you have your learn five
minutes 10 minutes a half hour as much
as you can of with the and then you take
them off because it adds a lot of to the
person. As far as where you can get them
you can get them on our website. Our
website bzem.org
has rashit for safari and Ashkanazi Jews
and also has Rabenu.
Uh you can buy it on our website
bzashem.org.
Uh and u we'd be happy to uh to send it
to you. It's a uh uh one thing that uh
with within is that you always have to
make sure that you buy it from a
reliable sof
reliable sil that's the most important
part of is not what they look like but
rather who wrote them. If you don't know
who wrote them and you don't know if
they're reliable uh then uh it's usually
a mistake to buy it. And the reason why
is because uh many times people go on
like eBay, Amazon or some uh you know
local Judeica store and they buy a
parrot feline for you know a few hundred
dollars thinking that they got a good
deal and then they realize a few years
later that really what they bought is a
toy. They didn't buy a real feline. They
bought they bought nothing. They bought
something fake.
So uh or or they bought feline that's
not really uh kosher because it wasn't a
kosher Jew that wrote it or uh didn't
write it properly. There was one guy
actually made a video recently that we
published uh that he's been wearing
feline for two and a half years that he
spent uh money on and uh he had it
checked and they checked it on camera.
They opened it and were empty. So that's
what happens when a person buys feline
based on price instead of based on who
wrote the feline. A good pair of feline
is not cheap. So if you're looking for
cheap,
it's better off not to buy feline.
That's um it's because it's it's simply
uh doesn't exist. Good parenine are
usually expensive, some more than
others. There's levels obviously. Uh but
we try to do our best because we get our
from Israel uh from that we know.
uh and that we know and uh since uh
we've been doing it for some time and we
try to usually buy a bunch at a time, we
are able to get them at a better price
uh and give that price back to to
people. You know, like for example, if
you the same quality rash that we have,
if you were to buy it anywhere else,
you'd probably pay probably somewhere in
the neighborhood of anywhere from 2,600
to $3,200, which is anywhere from $800
to over $1,000 more than what we sell it
for. Uh, so it may not seem cheap when
you're buying Feline Rashi Feline for a
little under $2,000, but I promise you
for that type of quality, black on black
and uh hand everything 100% handmade and
and also all the other extra stuff that
it comes with that a lot of people don't
realize until they get it.
Uh it's a uh it's a it's a bargain to
say the least. And the same goes for the
rashi and of the also the rabbutam. Uh
but again it's a uh each person has to
uh be very careful when they buy feline
because it's a uh um it's it's something
you have for a long time and as a matter
of fact for people that think oh there's
a lot of money to be made in feline
you're wrong the itself specifically
says that uh people that uh Hashem
decreed that people that deal with uh uh
you know writing to muzas and selling
will not be rich.
Why? Why? Because he says if if they're
too successful, they're going to want to
increase their price and then people are
not going to be able to afford it. So,
as much as people think that it's a big
money maker, it's not. It's actually uh
uh it's it's something anybody that
deals with it. I would say that the vast
majority of people that deal with it are
dealing with it more because of uh
wanting to be connected to a mitzvah to
to a business of of of kaduca uh and to
help people than they are as far as
making money. It's uh it's not a it's
not exactly a money maker.
Even though every Jew needs it, it's not
it's still not a exactly big money
maker.
Uh,
okay. Let's see. Uh, what time is it?
Okay, another one or two questions and
we're done.
Oh, okay. Now I see the thing. No, you
first say the
That's the first That's the blessing you
say.
What is in English are called
felactories. Those are the little black
boxes that Jewish people put men Jewish
men put on their arm. And one little box
that are on the head. Inside those
leather boxes are uh are scrolls that
have uh paragraphs from the Torah,
right? But what about those people that
are stuck because of the Shariah law and
cannot convert
or move sa safely? They should pray to
Hashem to uh open up some gate for them
to be able to move out of those
countries that have the Sharia law. In
the meantime, they should obviously pray
to Hashem every single day, connect to
Hashem, learn as much as they possibly
can about what Hashem really said and
not what the uh B is said he said. uh
and do it in hiding obviously so they
don't endanger their life. Uh but also
know that if Hashem puts you in that
position uh that means that he knows
that you could still serve him from your
from where you are from where you are.
Why can't single men put on?
That's because have an extra level of
kaduca on them and uh single men are uh
let's just say they're not exactly they
don't have a kesh they usually waste
seed even if it's unintentional whereas
that's less common with married men. Uh
so that's one of the big reasons of why
single men uh don't put on
How does one go about having their muza
check? They're super glued on the wall,
scared it will damage and take it out.
Who checks these? Uh, as far as getting
a muza checked, well, first of all, it
depends where you bought it from. If you
bought it from, you know, some internet
site like eBay or, uh, or Amazon,
uh, and it was cheap, like 20, 30, $40,
$50, you don't you shouldn't even bother
checking them. Number one, it's going to
cost you more to check them than they're
worth. And number two, I could already
tell you they're pursu. Uh, why? Because
it cost more to make a good quality muza
than 20, 30, $40, $50.
So, don't even bother checking them. But
if you paid a lot of money for those
muza, I'm not talking about the the uh
the uh the case. The case is irrelevant.
The case has no holiness. It's just nice
or not nice, but it's it's a uh the case
is not the important part. I'm talking
about the scroll inside.
If you bought the scroll from a Torah
scholar, from a rabbi that deals with
it, uh from someone that's reliable,
that's orthodox Jewish, uh then uh you
could check it once every seven years.
Uh if it's a standard muza, if it's a
mahudal muza, you could check it even
less often. Uh unless it's in a place
where uh heat affects it, uh like
outside and so on. But, uh, if you, uh,
bought it for cheap, you bought it on
the, uh, some random website, you don't
even know who's behind it,
I personally would recommend that you
just simply buy new Muzot because it's,
I would say, at least a 95% chance
they're pursu. They're not valid muzas.
Uh, in fact, there was somebody that
made a uh, a few videos about uh,
checking muzas. He went to different
places in New York and different places
from around the country sending them the
muzas and they check them with a
computer. It's not like just his
personal preference. They check
everything. I believe it was over 73 or
even 83% of the muzas that people sent
them were not kosher. People don't
understand what kind of tragedy there is
in the muza world because people try to
buy muzas for cheap and they don't
realize they're just buying toilet
paper. So if your muza is cheap, don't
check it. Throw it out already. Why?
because it's not kosher. To produce a
kosher muza cost a lot of time. Why?
First of all, the parchment cost money.
It's not paper. It's not one cent. It's
a piece of an animal. That's number one.
Number two, you need somebody that's an
expert, that knows the alas, knows how
to write everything in a row, knows how
to make sure the letters are separated,
has that if he makes a connection, if
there's he makes a mistake that's
unfixable, he's not going to still sell
you that muza
because if it's still connected, even if
99% perfect,
but two letters are connected, the whole
muza is not valid. So if he doesn't have
you got shim, if he doesn't have fear of
heaven, then guess what? Your muza is
not kosher.
So third, if it's not coming from, if
it's not parchment, if it if it's if
it's cardboard or paper or or some other
uh uh thing, it's not kosher.
So a lot of people don't realize that to
do all of that, to write a muza takes a
lot of time. uh to check it takes time
and you're not going to be able to ever
get it for 50 60 $80. It's just never
going to happen. Not especially not
today.
Uh now
when a person realizes that the muzas
that are good quality are going to cost
you $150,
$160, maybe even more, $200, $250,
depends
how high quality you want. But, uh, good
mass is going to cost you a couple
hundred today. Probably, uh, you know,
uh, I would say
closer to $200 than ever before. Uh, we
have, for example, uh, two levels of
muzas that we, uh, have. The, uh,
lowest, uh, level of muza is still high
standard, but it's, uh, it's gone up
from, I believe it was like 180 and now
it's 250.
Uh, I think it's 250, something like
that. And then the other one is uh $500.
It comes with a nicer case also, but
that Muza is a very special Muza. And
the only reason why we're still selling
it for $500 is because we still have
from uh you know the uh order that we
made. But if we had to order the same
Isuza right now, it probably closer cost
closer to $1,000. So we're still giving
it to people whoever wants to buy it for
the same price as it's been. But if I
run out of stock or whenever I run out
of stock and I have to order it again,
it'll probably be closer to $1,000
because the prices have gone up. There's
another Muza that I haven't talked to
anybody about that uh we have, but
that's just uh
it's out of people's ballpark because
it's not it's not a normal muza. It's
and so on. Maybe one day I'll talk about
it. But the point is
um when you have a good muza, you have
protection on your house, protection
your children, protection on your wife,
protection in your husband, protection
on your belongings. You have Hashem's
name at every opening in your house. Uh
that's supposed to have it. When you
don't have it, don't be surprised if
problems come. This is not because it's
a curse. This is because it's a reality.
And even big rabbis
that found out that uh you know had
problems in their life check their muza
many times. They see oh I made a
mistake. I bought it from uh either
someone that was not as reliable as I
thought or something happened to the
muza because it's been here for a long
time that I didn't even realize happened
to it. Two of the letters connected it
melted or whatever it is. So a person
has to be very very careful with who
they buy muzas from. And also uh leave
your uh stinginess in uh in the closet
when you go buy muzas because it's it's
going to cost you money. It's going to
cost you and it's not going to be cheap.
And that's just the reality.
But if you want to ignore everything I
just said,
by all means, your dumb your your your
blood is in your hands. Don't blame me.
I just inform people. You guys decide.
What is a muza? A muza is that little
box that you put on the door. Jewish
people put on the door. It has
paragraphs from the Torah.
In regards to Rajbi,
which for those who don't know, it's
we learned that he had to go back into
the cave because he was too holy. Does
that mean that he had to go down in
holiness?
Uh how does someone like him have to do
that? Yes, he uh he had to go down or
tame his uh his holiness uh because he
was already him and his son got to a
point where they couldn't relate to the
uh to the normaly of the world that
people could have to work to make a
living and they can't learn to 24 hours
a day. So, Hashem told them to go back
into the cave and uh
calm down because they still live in
this world.
Describe how genocidal maniacs look in
the mirror. I think you would be much
better at it than me. I would have no
clue how to answer such a question. But
you're an expert.
What if you live in a car? You don't put
a miss on a car.
Are you Israeli? Yes, I was born in
Israel.
Is it possible for people of Jewish
faith and Muslim faith to live piss
peacefully with each other? Is it
possible? Um, it's possible for, you
know, temporarily,
not permanently.
Temporarily, yeah, there certainly has
been peaceful periods of time uh
throughout history at different places
around the world between the two, but
permanent, no, it's not possible because
uh because the Quran itself
uh teaches that uh the ultimate goal is
to destroy the Jewish people. Uh they're
the enemy.
Uh so it's their their uh their uh their
savior their Messiah is going to you
know in their religion their is going to
fight the Jewish Mashiach. So it's
mortal enemies. This is the reason why
Iran is uh fighting you know as if it
has nothing to lose because they believe
that they're in a religious war. They're
not in a uh uh territorial war. I have a
whole lecture about this topic if you
want to watch. Just type in the word
Iran or Muslim in my uh YouTube uh and
you'll see lectures about it.
Can one activate the highest degree of
hate possible for a mortal, for the
spiritual AMC, and this will be
considered beloved by Hashem.
Who has that kind of time?
What do you mean the highest possible
hate? What does that even mean? If
they're enemies of God, we hate them.
The end. That's it. Not what the high
measuring levels of hate. We hate the
enemies of Hashem. We love the lovers of
Hashem. We try to help the people that
are clueless about Hashem, but highest
level of hate. Who has that kind of
time? We need to learn Tawra. We need to
get closer to Hashem. We need to help.
There's no there's no time to
to uh focus on hate. We have to simply
do whatever we can to help people wake
up. That's that's the goal. There's no
time to hate. It's no time to uh spend
energy on hating. Okay? You hate them,
fine. The end. Stay away. Stay away.
Stay uh
it says and one day Hashem will reign
his kingship on all the world and one
day he will one and his name will be
one. Hashem is always one. I tried
asking a rabbi. Of course, if you ask
him this way, then of course he's not
going to answer you because I don't even
know what you're asking. And I'm not the
A rabbi. I promise. I'm actually me. I
don't know what you're saying. I don't
know what the question is. You just told
me that something is written
and that you asked this question. I'm
not I'm not sure what the question is.
I'm sorry. What is the question?
You You said you would answer my
questions in the DMs and then you ran
away.
uh either you were asking uh questions
that uh are not uh something that uh is
relevant
to uh what I do
um or I just simply don't have time. It
depends. Depends what kind of questions
you ask. If you ask simple questions
like what people are asking that I can
answer during this, you could ask right
now.
What question do you have? I'll answer.
If I have if it's a relevant question,
I'll answer. If you're one of these
missionaries that's going to start
asking me why I don't believe in
Christianity and so on, I'm not um
I'm not interested.
But if you have a different question, go
ahead ask.
See,
would you debate Israel Horowitz?
I I I don't I don't understand why would
anybody think that I would ever debate
someone that's a zero
and it's a
person that mocks the Torah that has a
filthy mouth
that is has the IQ of
I don't want to insult the monkeys but
something a little bit below the monkeys
that's an aicol
That's a heretic. That's a nasty person.
Uh, unprofessional.
And last but not least,
uninterested in changing. I have a whole
lecture
of why
debates are not what
we do. There's no point. If you're going
to debate somebody, you either debate
them in order to help them change
because they're interested in changing
or because you yourself are not sure
about what you believe and you're maybe
you want to change. I am certainly sure
about what I believe and what I know and
he is completely uninterested in ever
changing.
He makes fun of the Torah for a living.
So,
I mean, I I don't call his horrible
singing that he does and embarrasses
himself in public what he does for a
living. I'm assuming that he does for a
living as a YouTuber.
Uh, either that or his parents feed him.
But, um, but the point is is that um
there's no point for me to debate such a
person.
Do you believe that gayom caps in 11
months?
No, I don't believe that. In fact, I
have a whole film about gayom that shows
that anyone that says that gayom ends up
after 11 months or 12 months is a
heretic. It's a coast. It's against the
thought to believe such a thing.
Genom can be for any amount of time from
short amount of time to infinity to
forever. I have all film. You can go
watch that film. Go to my uh YouTube
page. Type the word genom. G A uh um
G E H I N O M and uh you'll see that um
there is 176
proofs from the Torah, different parts
of the Torah, the oral Torah, the Torah
that show that not only is gay real,
it's um eternal for certain people, for
certain sinners.
So, I'm not sure why you accuse me of
believing it in 11 months when I am one
of the very few people on planet Earth
that speaks English that has been
fighting against that heresy for many
years.
Oh, I passed your test. Okay,
since you're orban, no more questions
from you.
What do you think about Oz Pearlman?
Does he have spiritual power? I don't
think about Oz Pearlman because I don't
know who he is. And even if I knew who
he is, I wouldn't think about him.
How do rabbis stay in shape if there's
no time for a gym? If always learning,
does God help keep healthy without
normal people?
Nobody says that you can't work out. You
could work out. You could, uh, have a
treadmill in your house. You could, uh,
do sit-ups, push-ups,
uh, or you could do this. See, Ke T, the
tumbler from Bez. You get this from BHP.
Watch. Watch this, guys. This is This is
This is my last rep.
Yeah.
If you want to work out, work out. Just
don't go to a mixed jam. Come on guys,
stop it with the nonsense. How did the
guy What does every every rabbi have to
work out? Every human being works out.
Some people do, some people don't. Stop
it already. Come on. Ask, you know,
questions that are make sense.
Some people work out, some people don't.
Not all secular people are jacked up
with six-packs
and uh and guns. And not all rabbis are
uh overweight. And not all uh anything
is anything. Stop it. Stop it. Stop just
throwing everybody in the same basket.
Just so you know, by the way, you know,
you guys are very some of you are very
very young and u not everyone that is
heavy, it's because they eat a lot. I
know this may be a mystery to some of
you, but uh eating is not the primary
reason of why people gain weight. Some
people gain weight for different
reasons. Sometimes it's because it's
lacks of lack of uh uh exercise, a lot
of eating, but sometimes it's because of
health issues. Sometimes it's because
they don't sleep enough. Sometimes it's
because of certain uh other things that
they deal with in their life. The point
is it's just because somebody is heavy
doesn't necessarily mean that they uh
choose that and they're uh they don't
care about themselves or anything like
that. Secondly,
um when a the more a person
learns Torah, the the you know the more
that they connect to the spiritual than
the physical. So many times they abandon
their body, meaning it's not that they
eat a lot. In fact, it's the opposite.
They eat less, but they don't really
care so much about their body. their
body is uh you know becomes you know
just just a piece of meat. They don't
really care. They just want to push
themselves. If you look at the health
records of Raul Yashiv, Rav uh uh
Steinman, Raadya Ravkski all you see
that their health was horrible.
It's not because they uh chose to be
unhealthy. It's just simply that they
cared more about their soul, their
nashama, than they cared about their
physical body. Because their nama is
what outlives this world whereas the
body gets eaten up by worms and maggots.
So why should I spend so much time uh
exercising and and lifting weights and
uh and doing all these things for a
temporary uh body? So again, I'm not
saying not to exercise. Even the Rambam
says you should exercise to a certain
point, but don't make it your life
because you can't take it with you
anyway.
Yeah, guys, come on. I'm going to ask
one or two more questions.
Where in the Quran does it say they were
enemies? Well, when they when you call
the the Jews a kufill, that's because
we're enemies. In the hadith where it
says that at the end of days, the Muslim
is going to look for the Jew in the rock
in the tree and tell him, "Hey, Muslim,
Muslim, he's the Jew is hiding behind
me. Come here and kill him." Okay, so
it says it in many places.
The Jew according to the Shariah law has
to walk on the other side of the street.
Has to pay the uh the tax uh has to
because he's a kufair is only allowed to
ride a donkey, not even a horse.
What where does it where does it not say
that the Jew is the enemy? That's that's
actually a better question.
I used to go to the gym for six hours a
day and now not even 15 minutes. Okay.
Well, listen, I mean, you can stay in
shape. There's not It's definitely good
for a person to do some ex some form of
exercise if they can. They should. Um
but uh
I would not recommend for people to
spend six hours in a day in the gym like
you used to. Um but um you know as far
as to do some exercise for an hour a
day, I don't know. It's fine.
Do I need to believe this all? It's part
of the old talk. What's not to believe?
H how can someone know when which
explanation is being utilized as they go
through daily life experiences? How do
they identify if it's or instead of
Well, the easiest way is whether you're
inclined to do something that's the
Torah says it was allowed or not
allowed. If it's not allowed, then
you'll be inclined by the
prove to me that it's part of the oral
Tua.
It was made by rabbis a couple thousand
years after.
Okay.
I bet that you also don't believe in the
garamar either and you also don't
believe in a lot of other things and the
zar is just your excuse
for uh for for what you don't believe.
No, I've met people like you. That's
there's always an agenda. Okay. You
don't want Let me ask you something.
Why do you feel the need to talk about
what you don't believe? The Torah is an
endless ocean.
The Torah is an endless ocean. You have
the the Midasha, the you have a uh uh
you have the Tami, Tammy, the Z. Okay,
you don't want to go with those. Fine.
You have the You have theim, you have
theim, you have a uh
you have a uh literally millions of
books.
Millions of books. Have you read all of
them, by the way? I doubt it. So
why do you people that choose to ignore
what said in a favorable way about the
z?
Why do you harp on it? Okay, you don't
want to read the zar. Don't read the z.
I doubt you ever read even half of it.
But why do you feel the need to keep
sharing it with people that oh do you
believe it? Do you believe it? Do you
believe it? That's why I know that
you're an Apicos
because if
I didn't read the Midrash or I didn't
read the Midrash,
then I wouldn't go out there to people
and say, "Hey, by the way, you know, I
didn't read Midash Rabba." You know, by
the way, I didn't read Midasha. Hi, how
are you? What's your name? Oh, you know,
I didn't read Midashba. Or if I saw
something in the midash that I didn't
like because it hurt my ego. I don't
know. I wouldn't go around to people and
say, "Hey, by the way, you heard what
the Midash said?" Ah, let me tell you.
You're never going to BELIEVE IT. IT
SAID THAT I'M FAT. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
CAN you believe it? DOESN'T THE MIDASH
KNOW THAT I'M NOT I'M JUST big boned.
Do you think I would do that? No. I'm
just doing it to humor you guys because
this foolishness that people have in
their mind thinking that they're overly
righteous to the point where they're
constantly sharing their disagreement
with their belief in a think that's
where it ends. No, it doesn't end that.
It doesn't end there. You're a
why? Because first of all, you're going
against that says otherwise. that say.
Second of all, even if you don't want to
believe it, even if you don't like it,
keep your mouth to yourself. Keep your
mouth shut. Who cares what you think?
You don't know anything. You know more
than
said it's what do you know? Have you
read? Do you even know how to write?
Do you know how TO WRITE?
CAN YOU WRITE ONE?
That's more than yes or no. Can you
write one?
What do you know that you concluded that
the uh the um
Yashiv uh every GIANT IN THE LAST 500
years said it's good but you you Mr.
Internet you Mr. internet surfer,
you know more than them. Like I said,
you're an ape. You don't believe in the
oral Torah. But the way you justify
is by simply saying, "No, I don't
believe in the Torah. I don't believe in
the Torah. I don't believe in I don't
believe this.
I
You know, 10 times better than me, man.
Okay.
People,
people, people, people. You guys don't
know what you do to yourselves.
Rabbi, is it true that you made a
million dollars in an hour? Uh,
partially true. I made $1.6 million in
an hour.
How I had a uh
I was in a I had my own brokerage firm.
I had high net worth clients. We used to
do uh we used to invest people's money
as well as my own. and um I also had
other business. I had the hedge fund, I
had uh
um insurance agency,
but the biggest part of the business was
the brokerage part.
And I used to invest people's money and
um we had big positions. I would have
many, you know, many shares of stuff and
I built a pretty big business and that's
it.
If you want to watch the uh reason why I
do this versus still on Wall Street,
there's a movie called Hashem Took Back
His Millions.
That's u a short version of my life
story.
Hashem took back his millions.
All right, I think we're out of some
more questions.
When am destroyed, his name will be one
until why? Until Malik is destroyed is
Oh, okay. So,
Hashem says that his name is not
complete until
until I'm alleged is out of this world
because
the uh is a little bit too coalistic to
be honest with you. Um
so long as so Hashem has his people
that's the Jewish people okay that's the
chosen people
but made everything this against this so
just like he has a throne of glory for
himself he gave a thr throne of glory to
the Satan.
Now Satan has to
get his uh
uh has to have something physical in
this world in order for him to have
influence.
So, so long as Amalecch exists,
there's going to be something that
connects the Satan's evil part to this
world, which in essence is like a uh
an incomp completion of of Hashem's will
of of of bringing this world to to to
its culmination.
So this is why Hashem says that he will
wipe out Amalecch because
and slaughter the the Satan because the
once Amalech is destroyed
the Satan is no longer going to have
anything physical that uh in this world
that will allow him to do that part of
the job. And that's why the Satan is
disconnected from that. It'll actually
become a holy uh angel.
Um, and then the culmination of of the
world of of of Hashem's will will come
to this world. Um, there's much there's
much more. Again, it's I I think I've
spoken briefly about this in the past,
but
it's not um
it's not exactly the uh
ideal
talk for u general audience. Especially
we don't want to offend Mr. I don't
believe dissolve.
If you have a question, ask the
question.
Hashem is everywhere. Yes.
Does the name Kanan
mean regret?
Cananan? No.
See,
is it really productive to call people
not be close. Let's say Rabbi Manis
Freedman is incorrect with basic premise
of Hashem needs. Is it attacking him
productive?
We have a mitzvah in the Torah that you
only partly believe in but we believe
completely in. And is
not just a uh
is not just a um
that uh
we uh read about here and there and
ignore.
means number one, you have an obl a
Torah obligation to rebuke someone
that's going against the Torah, whether
they're driving on Shabbat or they're
acting and saying things that are
heretical. Number two, there's a mitzvah
of protesting against those people that
are making the public sin.
It's such a big mitzvah that the
page 14A says that
only decided or decreed to destroy the
beta mikdash after there was no more
rebuke. There was no more protest.
There was people stopped protesting.
When Jeremiah the prophet asked Hashem
not to destroy the world, not to destroy
uh uh the bet mikdash, Hashem said, "If
you can find me somebody that is
protesting for my honor, somebody that
is rebuking other people to help them do
chuva one one person I won't uh I won't
destroy one other than you." And
Jeremiah went from place to place and
couldn't find. And on that it's written
why have I come and there's nobody here.
And uh that's why it also says in art
every day
uh that the men of truth are men of um
faith are gone meaning real faith in hem
and note niju nonsense. So when Jeremiah
was crying in the streets looking
looking for somebody to rebuke looking
for somebody that's speaking the truth
looking for somebody to protest against
the lies
and he couldn't find someone. He cried
because he knew that this would be the
official decree that Hashem has to
destroy the beta mikdash or he has to
destroy his nation. One of the two and
obviously Hashem decided to destroy the
bet mikdash instead of the nation. So
unlike what people think that rebuke is
bad and protest against heretics is bad.
In fact
himself says that Pinas saved the entire
nation because of his protest because of
his extreme action against the evil
people. He brought mercy to the world.
If it wasn't for pin, hem would have
destroyed all of Islam. And from there
teach that people that protest for the
sake of Hashem, people that speak
against heretics, people that rebuke
people to help them do cha actually
bring mercy to the world and give the
world a right to exist.
So, while you're thinking it's
unproductive to protest against
heretics, you're not realizing that you
only exist in this world and it's not
being destroyed like the Noah's flood
because of people like me
that have lived throughout all of the
generations that gave AmI a right and
the rest of the world a right to exist.
So you might not think it's useful
because you're a heretic yourself. So
you don't like people calling you a
heretic, but other people that actually
believe the Torah,
uh they uh they appreciate it and they
say thank you and they support and they
continue watching.
Okay.
Why was Alan silent after his sons died?
If we're supposed to praise Hashem with
a blessing
wasn't a uh that Hashem wasn't uh he
wasn't praising Hashem. He knew that
he knew
was a was righteous. He knew that was
righteous and that there was no uh there
was no mistake here in the judgment. So
he had nothing negative to say about it.
Okay.
I'm uh at a point where I have to go.
