We are the people that believe that the weekend is not when you stop making money. Shabas is THE IT'S WHEN YOU START MAKING MONEY. We are the people who realize and show the world that spiritual pursuits are not an exclusion of your physical pursuits. It is the source of your physical pursuits. We are the people who walked into Awitz. And on the signs in Awitz it says Arbet Mak which typically historians will tell you that the Nazis put that sign there because they want to which means work will make you free. Arbit mak work will make you free. So, typically the historians will say, "Yeah, they were trying to pretend that it was just a work camp and not a death camp." Okay, but that's kind of a lazy explanation because like who are we fooling? There are corpses everywhere. I mean, we're not trying to pretend that. I think there's a deeper explanation. The Nazis were trying to shove down and slap in our face. They were saying, "You believe that choosing your god makes you free." Wrong. We believe that work makes you free cuz work gets you money and money gets you pleasure and pleasure is when you're free. And we will shove that ideology down your throat. Work makes you free. We reject that wholeheartedly. Work does not make you free. Choosing Hashem passionately, emotionally, religiously is what makes you free.
