What’s God’s Opinion? - MUSSAR Pirkei Avot (85)

[Music] glad to see everyone we had a uh very special Shure last night uh very good feedback already only it's only been a few hours uh since we posted it uh on our channel on our website but many people saw it live uh it seems like the interest for the truth is literally um extraordinary because hasem says that at the end of times before the mashia comes there's going to be a hunger what kind of hunger not hunger for food not hunger for steaks not hunger for uh sushi hunger for truth and we're seeing it because uh just uh literally literally less than 24 hours later it's already been a double the amount of people watch the sh live both in the uh online as well as actually attended B uh as well as actually uh just since we've posted it online again on our website uh bash.org uh Stellar numbers Stellar numbers in a very short period of time time and uh surprisingly very good feedback a lot of people I mean I have uh no less than half maybe more than maybe a dozen messages so far uh from people telling me thank you for finally making a isue about Gom and I thought that it's going to be the opposite it's going to be one good message and a dozen bad ones you know why' you do it da da you still don't know it's still early so maybe the bad ones are still fting a longer email who knows it seems like people have been looking for for information because when you look for the truth like hasem says in uh in Deuteronomy chapter 4 uh if you look for me you'll find me if you look for me with all of your heart and all of your soul now when you look for the truth M look for it proactively look for the truth what's real what's false where you know what's what's what is this what is God's opinion bottom line what's God's opinion when you look for it you start noticing strange things what do you notice you notice that a lot of what people say doesn't make any sense at all it doesn't make any sense at all and this was my personal experience that I thought was maybe unique to me maybe there was a few people here and there but apparently that unique experience that I thought I I had is not unique at all as a matter of fact many of the people that so far have given positive feedback about the about gome as difficult as it is to hear have told me the same message over and over again and said that everything that I read about it so far or everything that I heard from you know the little bit of information that's available about it in English language didn't make sense there's one Rabbi that uh Orthodox Rabbi uh that made a 4minute video about it some time ago there was a uh that uh he said he says made it seem like it was a uh not such a bad place another one was interviewed by one of these organizations where the interviewer asked them do Gom exist is it part of Judaism is it part of the tah and towards the end of the interview after about I think it's like a 12 minute interview and about 10 minutes the interviewer says you know this G place doesn't sound so bad it almost sounds like a good thing that's what he saidash almost sounds like a good thing and what the guy says yes why is he saying yes because neither one of them know the truth neither one of them knows the guy that's saying it sounds good all he knows is what this guy told him the last 10 minutes the guy that's talking for the 10 minutes all he knows is what he just created for those 10 minutes he never read a single book about it why because any book that you read about it doesn't say anything good yes it is in essence the uh highest level of darkness before the light if you enter the light meaning if you have the Merit to go to ganeden but you've made some sins and you have to go to Gom and so on so yes this is in essence the something you have to go through before you get there but that doesn't make it good I still prefer to skip the step to use a euphemism and minimize it and make it seem as if it's a it's it's actually a good thing it's like saying you know cancer AIDS and all types of other strange diseases are so good they're good for you remind you to love the people around around you w maybe I should be remind that I love them without the diseases so people saw the same thing that I saw years ago and they said it didn't make sense it doesn't make sense that in the Christian world of a of idol worship they picture something horrendous fire suffering and in Judaism these so-called rabbis in the western world are picturing like a little miniature I don't know washing machine slash Care Bears slash I don't know fluffy bath or something I don't know like no one makes it doesn't make any sense why because the Christians got their information from the Jews they don't have any of their own information so where did it come from it got to such a horrible awful place that some Jews actually think that the whole concept of Gom is actually Christian teaching and many over the years have told me oh you're like a Christian you teach all this stuff about punishment you just look at the comments in last week's Shure last night Shure there's always a hero last night sh one of the a Jew called me a Christian I'm one of the people that fights against Christianity on a daily basis this guy calls me a Christian why he never heard the concept of punishment or G it's not his fault bit actually it's his fault for voicing it in public and then trying to embarrass me and so on but that's gives me thank you but nonetheless it's not his fault because that's all he heard his whole life M his whole life he thought that g know is part of idolatry it's not part of Judaism because God loves so many people said you know what it never made sense now that I saw the sh some saw the whole thing some saw the first half and so on I said it's tough no questions about it if you have a soul and a pulse it's tough to hear if it's not tough for you to hear you should check your pulse but nonetheless at least I know at least I know I know what's there okay I don't like it it's not such a happy news it's not the best thing I've ever heard in my life I rather hear that I won the lotto I rather hear that I'm about to get married I rather hear that I just had a baby I rather hear anything I rather hear I just got coffee any I rather hear nothing than such bad news but nonetheless in reality I needed to hear it why this is going to keep me away from sinning it's going to keep me away from sinning that's what they said so it's a mix of messages obviously but the point I'm trying to tell you is that and also all of the righteous people among the nations are M seeking the truth just like AEM promised they're going to be thirsty for the truth and hopefully hopefully the feedback will encourage other rabbis that are there are real rabbis men of Truth who encourage them and give him the the the the strength to do sh of their own about the truth and stop being so scared stop being so scared because we really literally have gotten to a point where in a generation where people think that is a curse word people think that punishment is not part of Judaism people have turned people have turned God into Santa Claus he only gives good so hem has an enormous amount of Mercy may his name be blessed forever and he has Mercy on us and even before we know we have a question he gives us the answer and that RAB is the Mish of tonight last night we finished a very critical sh but we also finished the fourth chapter of we are now beginning the fifth chapter we're in chapter five Mish Al the first one and this Mish in essence like all of the others always connected to the one before them but to me when I was was studying it today the way I I I saw it is like really was answering these people both the fans nonetheless that appreciated the message and whoever did not whether we heard from them or not one special Soul called me today I usually don't pick up my phone because phone rings a lot and if I pick up a phone every time it rings I would never have time to study never have time to run I'd never have time to pretty much breathe eat go to the bathroom nothing so usually it's better to just message me and in between things in between breaks or whatever I try to respond to messages but uh we just finished a my and I and I we finished a between us and we're just talking about certain things that weren't a Shure and I saw the phone ring and it was a number from Israel that already pequs my interest who from Israel who do I know from Israel who's going to call why is it un you know a number that I don't know if I anyone that I know in Israel I know their number it's in my phone so I thought oh you know what one of my students just did Aliah maybe she's calling just a question oh maybe it's this one maybe I a few arguments in my head or if I'm said just pick up no pick up okay pick up I pick up and this wonderful person is practically crying telling me why did you do it why did you do it why did you do it and and I said what did I do he said you know it's not supposed to do it this way and what what did I do and she tells me you're scaring people to death now you have a sh about G home you scare people to death I said did you watch it she goes no how you scared to death how you scared to death she goes just the topic no one's done it before at least not uh with a scary picture like that to the one that put the picture together my wife God bless her scary poster I think a poster is scarier than a sh but nonetheless said yeah but it's sh and it's scary and it's this and it's that and anyway we started talking and uh I saw that she's very disturbed not necessarily by the Shure but by Judaism and the reason why is because she had a bad experience with Jews had bad experience with Jews whether it be rabbis or individuals religious non-religious nonetheless we arrived at the conclusion that due to all of these bad experiences she became less religious how much less religious according to what I understood not religious period so I saw that this is a conversation that I have to have you know and it's not one of those two-minute phone calls so you know when you're in the business of kiru that's the call everything has to be put on hold and you have to handle the call and we talked we talked for a little while and I got to a point where we realize that listen one thing I've told you guys over the years is that Judaism does not depend on the Jews again Judaism does not depend on the Jews how do we know in several weeks we're going to learn about M we get the 10 commandments created the Torah 974 Generations before he created the world according to the and decided that there's going to be an event of Mount Sai already at that time and at that time he's going to give it to am now if hypothetically speaking hypothetically speaking am decided you know what it's not for us this Torah it's not for us and a bunch of Arabs came and say we'll take it two of them we'll take it put some kumus on it we'll take it we'll take it who would be the Jews today the Arabs the Hebrews the Israelites would remain Israelites or Hebrews or more likely not remain at all but nonetheless we see something extraordinary we see that what makes you a Jew is not your friends being Jewish it's not even your mother being Jewish it's the Torah because without it your Judaism is on suspension and this is why your Judaism is not necessarily dependent on Jews you have to be a Jew based on a regardless of whether all the Jews around you are good bad or indifferent and this was something that perhaps maybe she never heard before now how do you know if you're a Jew how do you know if you're following this Torah a lot of people say they're following the Torah while they're violating it they say they're following it like this one menal that wrote an article about how homosexuality is a good thing and he welcomes these people to his K but not just welcomes them honors them and AEM must have made a mistake when he wrote that it's not allowed you read this article I read maybe about two years ago I want to vomit another manal wrote you could eat at any restaurant as long as it's not meat just eat fine this recent calls himself an orthodox Rabbi the first one was conservative others say all types of things everyone says things in the names of in the name of T what do you think they go home and say I'm not religious what do you think they wake up in the morning and say I'm not religious the one man that is K is K came to him and said your own ruven's coming to New York for a couple of days we'd like to host them in our big nice as people there's a lot of fans here no less than 100 people watch the on a regular basis we'd like to have him come you would think the rabbi is like someone that wants to come Mike Kaya wants him to come he actually happens to be the one that actually helps people do chuva M needs to do Chua how much free how much is free free and how much more with free free what does the rabbi menal say RAB menal says don't bring him here why don't bring him here oh he's against Twigs he's against wigs like I created the law against Twigs like I wrote it in said no no and footnote this is from youru from 500 years from now he's going to say he has going to say don't wa wa before I even knew who ra is you already knew is going to say he's against wigs he's against like when they wrote said hold on a second abob one second footnote 4,000 years from now is gonna say the stupidity of man will lead him to sin and then he gets mad at theem for being punished some people are stupid silently though so you don't really know they're stupid sometimes they even look smart because they're so silent it's good some people voice their opinion and you wish they wouldn't so this one instead of having his Kaa get a little stronger he says say no so he also thinks he's religious and I can give you stories like this for hours and hours and hours but you get the point by now time all of them doing in the name of the Torah all of them not a single one of them thinks of themselves not religious how do we know then how do we know we know that decided to give the Torah on Mount saai but there were greater mountains in the world bigger stronger massive taller wider prettier each one of them had a Mal had an angel over supervising them speaking for them says hem you must be giving the tah on me the other one said no no no you must be giving me come on I'm bigger than him smaller than him I'm this that they were fighting foran to give it toah Hashem says I'm not going to give it to on any of you I'm going to give it on Mount sa what do you mean but he's not even fighting for it exactly he's an he's humble he lowered himself he made himself a vessel a vessel to receive my opinion not to State my opinion because really it's his opinion and he just said it it's mine how do you know what religious is how do you know what the truth is let's find out what God's opinion is how do we know God's opinion he wrote it he wrote it in the now in this week's par as it's our way we always have something interesting in the Paras but this is something small but sweet in par you have a small little secret right in the beginning of the the first verse in says and these are the names of the children of Israel who were coming to Egypt with yob each man and his household came now here it's the first verse very interesting but nonetheless we see that every single letter in a Tor has a significance now if you look for the first T the first T which is the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet in this par it's in this verse it's the seventh letter seventh letter of this par is a t if you count 50 more letters 50 more letters you get which is the in which is the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet if you count another 50 letters you get to you get to the of if you count another 50 letters you get to the he of a spelling the word t now this could be a simple coincidence this could be just something nice and interesting but you could say maybe I could find the same thing in Harry Potter what's the significance of this first and foremost we see that this specific book is the book we received the Torah from M sa so this word Torah carries more weight than it does if it appeared let's say in second when did we receive the Tor receive the Tor on sh when is sh 50 days exactly after we left MIT meaning the skip of 50 letters between each one has significance now this Torah is the love letter that Hashem wrote to us that has instructions for all of us to follow in order for us to know his opinion the good news about hashem's opinion is that it does not change ours changes today we like blue tomorrow we may like pink today we like tall tomorrow we may like short today we may like steak tomorrow it's cereal our opinions change today this is my favorite food tomorrow tomorrow I don't even want to eat and so on and forth so on and so forth why our opinions are variable based on our mood based on our lifestyle based on our day based on different things we are something that's Dynamic we're constantly moving is the same he doesn't change doesn't adapt doesn't grow he doesn't shrink he doesn't change his opinion is the same it's always been the same it'll always be the same so this Tora that we're going to find out and learn more and more about in seph in the entire book of Exodus entire already tells us where is this letter it's here what's the letter called Tor when did we receive it 50 days after we left Egypt so already have a secret now the second secret that you find out in this Paras is that we have a very similar time being described very similar time being described to today it says seventh verse of the and the children of Israel were fruitful teamed increased became strong very very much so and the land became filled with them so here we have six different adjectives six different words describing how greatly we grew grew in size as far as population grew in size as far as our status in the world grew in size as far as our bank accounts why our boy was the president our boy sadik was the president he put Egypt on the map Egypt was a nice little place but YF made it an Empire YF the Jew sadik only one entire called sadik by hem today every person has a beard it's called a sadik hem called him sadik best Economist in history put us put them on the map we became prosperous we became politicians we became Supreme Court judges we became councils we became Bankers we became all types of things and there six different words describing how great we were the sages in mid M and several other places say that these six words also describe something very special about that generation hasem wanted them to grow he wanted to give them a blessing so he said said you know what you only came down here with 70 if you have natural births it's going to take a while let's speed up the process every birth will be six babies every birth will be six babies which means the average family they didn't have birth control bash back then they didn't try not having babies bash they want to have babies not like today no we can't afford it we'll take a dog instead we can't afford the baby we'll put a dog instead or a cat or maybe some fish and goldfish you see people during theim during shabat they say oh you know who wants to buy an Aliah some people are very happy about this alot oh yeah I want to buy it's good if it's on Shabbat maybe you're G to get in a big big Ness and a few hundred bucks being spent but if you go to theim people are so happy during the all different types of things people open up their pockets without thinking whether they have anything in them or not go for thousands and thousands of dollars tens of thousands of dollars as some places in the world you could hear stories of people buying an alah for a million dollars a million dollars for what to go up to the B to go up with thean to go up to the T for the for the good of the Tor for the honor of Tor you have it do it go good Lu now here's the problem if I tell you you're happy you're a happy person you're going to go and you're going to sanctify the you're going to buy an alah you're gonna spend $10,000 you're gonna spend $3,000 you're going to spend $50,000 whatever you going to spend you're excited you're so happy you're so excited for this Aliah you spend a ton of money without thinking twice but then I say to you I'm here to save Jews not the Torah the Jew the Jew that's supposed to read the Torah the Jew that's supposed to live by the Torah not the Tor Tor is good there's already many of them the Jew we don't have that many which I'm trying to save the Jew okay it's 50 oh come back to me on Tuesday I'll write you a check for $25 okay here's $700 yeah this is my M for the last 15 years in my St box what happened to the 3,000 to the 5,000 to the 10,000 to the 100 th what happened I'm trying to save Jews no you know times are tough they're not tough on yum Kip they're not tough on why CU people are not looking for the sake of the Torah they're looking for the sake of their own honor their own they want to know yeah yeah I donated 10,000 20,000 50,000 100,000 to the they care about people's opinion that's our problem we care so much about people's opinion that we forgot to care about even asking what's God's opinion a woman came into a besset of isant almost 200 years ago and she said hysterical crying I need help someone that was a huge stops what he's doing he wants to talk and speak to why you crying why are you crying in a how could you cry's here if you know Hashem is here there's nothing to cry about already why could you be crying she says I have a son and my son cannot go to yes Shalom why why can't he go to the Yesa I don't have any money I don't have any money to send him to Yesa didn't understand what she was saying what do you mean you don't have money to send he said to the to the he said to the people in we need to send the boy to Thea and a few people look like yeah you know it's tough now it's tough tough times Bitcoin is not so high it dropped from 20,000 to 15 you know it's tough times what do you think what do you think oh okay come back next week come back on Monday I'll give you a check for $25 come back on Wednesday I'll send you my uh you know my stocka box the coins whatever is in it you could take for you what they what said he said you see theph we have one it's not like today but have 15 of them we have one sell it sell the seph T to save the seph T sell the seph T to save the boy Shalom he's going to go and be with the Christians be with the Arabs be with the uh Chinese be with the go that have all types of idol worship Shalom this boy is not going to be a Jew save the Jew but that was a time when people actually cared about God's opinion interestingly enough they got the money without selling the SE T why they got the point when you get the point you find a way you find a way so SE tells us I wrote you a love letter it's called the Torah this Torah gives you instructions to succeed in an enormous amount of ways in life in business in marriage in anything and everything that you want I want to give you this success and that's why I gave you many children six for every family every family of every birth six you have 10 births you have 60 kids in each family you need a truck just to feed him breakfast just to feed him by the time you finish breakfast it's already midnight this one W eggs this one wants Pizza this one wants this got 60 kids no one complained I'm going to give you the blessing I'm going to give you the money I'm going to give you everything that's good in the world I'm going to give you why T then we had so much good we forgot to communicate with the opinion of God we started depending on the Donald Trumps of the world we started depending on all of these superstars of the world we stopped caring about hashem's opinion so things changed what changed the very same leaders we trusted so much decided let's outsmart it the that was alive then is the same that saw build let's not be fooled and think this is someone else and he really forgot when someone writes you a check for an infinite amount of money you're going to remember him a few years later after he dies when every single has his picture there you're going to remember who he is but here he [Music] says a new king arose over Egypt who did not know y the SES say what do you mean a new king who's this new king it's the same King why is it saying new king new opinion YF died why do I have to honor him for after all I gave him the ability to make us money after all it was my idea after all he's still a yid he's still a Jew he's still an Israelite I don't have to give him anything where MIT why do I have to give him anything he got enough he benefited his family got some money enough but look at what they're doing they're conquering our land now they're judges is their lawyer is their Banker is their this one they trade Bitcoins they do all these different types of things look at this too much they taking over this country it's time to fool them what fool them let's make them slaves and the systematically anti-Semitism started this parha this parha continues 3,300 years later only difference is back then we didn't know today we should know today we should know all of these people that celebrating all of the wonderful stories of the president in this country and the president in that country and the president in this country when was the last time you said somebody say you know what let's celebrate Hashem today he made a miracle wow what kind of miracle I got to work when was the last time you heard such a story I have a miracle what happened I was able to go to the bathroom wow what was the last you I had a miracle what I woke up I woke up I died I woke up I went to sleep I died just go to sleep at 6 of death I woke up it's it's a miracle I was able to drink and the water went in the system and by itself it would know what to do when was the last time anyone celebrated that Miracle it hasn't stopped raining here in Florida for the last couple days what was the last time you saw somebody say look at this there's water clean fresh beautiful water coming from the sky how does that make any sense it's a miracle when did you see last time say oh wow the arange the miracle why because we want a to split the red the Dead the Red Sea every day sea of reeds every day that's a miracle everything else that's normal that's nature and then what ends up happening is we think that hasem is on a vacation if he's on vacation we're on a vacation we go sometimes to our people that are supposed to know what to do and what to say and they start instead of telling us what's God's opinion about what we think and what we do and this this and the other thing they start telling us their opinions and little by little the little par within us start fooling us and we start fooling ourselves and the precious soul that called me today said wait wait it mean how could it be that hasem would punish anyone he's a God that loves I said yes he loves no questions unlimited love okay so unlimited love how could it be that he punishes because he also has unlimited wrath he also has unlimited wrath why would how could you have both That's Where hashem's Mercy on specifically me gives me the answer and just so happens to be the next M happens to be happens to be happens to be 6,000 years ago hasem already wrote the Mish for today and the mishna says as follows translation with 10 utterances hasem created the world what does this come to teach us those 10 utterances to create the world indeed it could have been done in one it's AEM well he doesn't need 10 words to do anything in fact it doesn't even need one word but if there was a word needed why you say World created B finished World created just one word created the world just pick up word you can make AEM that means creation creation then there was abrah is yob no it says hasem created the world with 10 utterances 10 in essence statements but it could have been done in one what's the significance of this this was to was done specifically this way in order to exact punishment from the wicked who destroyed the world that was created with 10 utterances which we'll explain shortly and to bestow goodly reward on the righteous who sustain the world that was created with those same utterances utterances so here we see that there's obviously again significance in every o significance in you know in every letter in every sentence in every thought in every single thing so first thing is the says this chapter this entire fifth chapter of aot aside from the traditional ethical and moral teachings that we've learned in the first four chapters this specific chapter also has historical information about about the world and several of the foundational principles of creation itself it begins with these numerical sets of tens the first few Mish talk about 10 this 10 this 10 this and so on and so forth then it goes seven seven seven the significance of different numbers in the toah and it starts with this which is creation itself why Hashem actually created with 10 words 10 sentences so if you actually look at the the page 32A says every single time it says God said and God said in it's considered an Hance and God said let there be light that's one but if you count how many times in in Genesis it says how many are there nine there nine you said 10 what's the 10 says 10th one is the word bit the first word in the Torah itself means it so the Shalom says that the word in the word itself just the word we're not talking about the entire we're not talking about the entire we're not even talking about the entire sentence of the first sentence of Torah that starts withit he says just the word bit he found the root for all 613 principle of of mitv all 613 MIT are hinted but the word we thought oh in the beginning the ramban says it also means with wisdom it's a very very good video by um Dr Shore Dr sha is a genius mathematician in uh Israel professor and he has a 17 minute video about the secrets of just the word bit and just the first sentence the first sentence in the Torah you see the mathematical calculations the wisdom that's in it it's in Hebrew only I don't think they have it in English yet maybe the subtitles by now but literally the 17 minutes if you watch it 100 times you're still going to learn something it's unbelievable how many secrets are simply just in this word in the first sentence it's unbelievable but 613 that we have in the Tor that gave us some for men some for women some for some for the times of the BET mikash all hinted by the first word my he found in his younger age he was also very interested in this he study what the Von did and he wanted to find more stuff what else can I find he got up to a thousand mitv 1,000 mitv are hinted 1,000 mitv that hinted that are said are taught just by the first word bit 1,000 if there's a thousand mitv to learn in the first word of the Torah how many can you learn in the how many things can you possibly learn it's endless so this very same V says what are these 10 utterances the first one the first verse Genesis 1:1 in the beginning of God's creating the heavens of the earth that's the first utterance the second one God said let there be light that's in the third verse third one God said let there be a firmament fourth one God said let the waters beneath the heaven be gathered in one area and let the dry land appear fifth one God said let the Earth Sprout vegetation sixth God said Let The Luminaries in the firmament of the heaven let there be Lum uh luminaries meaning the the moon and the sun seventh one God said let the waters team with teeming living creatures eth one God said let the Earth bring forth living creatures not just the ones in the water but ones on land ninth one God said let us make man in our image after our likeness mosu came to hasem about this specific verse and he said theem the her Heretics of the world are going to say that maybe there's more than one godom because you're saying in the beginning of the T let us make man in our image us and our are plural is there more than one God in heaven no so why it's to us and hasem says even know I'm really the only one that creates I'm really the only one that can create still I want to give my Creations a feeling of partnership a feeling of significance so the angels that I created before man they were there and I didn't want them to just think they're robotss and they're good for nothing just do and do and do I said let us let us create man in our image a man that has free choice a man that has the ability to do right and wrong as if I was asking their opinion and I did ask their opinion what do you think a couple of angels actually came forth and said no don't create them look what they're going to do they're going to sin against you they're going to desecrate your name they're going to eat pig they're going to go with women they're not allowed to they're not going to cover their hair when they're supposed to they're not going to pray when they're supposed to they're not going to learn what they're supposed to they're not going to do business the way they're supposed to look how many sins they're going to make against you hasem says that's the significance of men he can overcome the enticement he can overcome the desire to do wrong and actually do right that's what makes him significant that's what makes him special if he was just doing it as a by default always right there'd be no purpose for any of you the fact that he has two choices that makes him significant now in this week's par we said it yesterday but it also is worthwhile to say it again today there was a K in regards to free choice and his free choice will go over briefly many people ask how does free choice work where is it mentioned in the toah it's actually mentioned in several places this week's is one of them I had with where is debating with mosu Go free My People Go free my people mosu says no no yeah no it's not I'm not good enough I'm not a good speaker I'm not this maybe my brother he's a sadik he's a this he's arguing for a week hasem says go do it go do it now says what if they don't believe me now if it was you and me you going to add say to Hashem what if they don't believe me hasem is talking to you you can't even think of such a thing M did that's why he's M he says who am I for them to believe me it's not about Hashem has nothing to do with hem he says who am I they're going to think that I actually have the Merit to speak to you hhm we if hasem spoke to us we publicize it on the internet spoke to me even if he didn't we say he spoke do some guy made a video said yeah hasem hasem said Thank you to me Hashem talked to me and he said thank you to me made a YouTube video on it he's walking around the woods and he says said Thank you to me yeah same same same so now M the greatest prophet of all time says who am I for you to talk to me the fact that you're talking to me is already a surprise on top of it they're not going to believe me hasem says if they don't believe you show them the first sign what if they don't believe me anyway if they don't believe you after the first sign show them the second sign if they don't believe you the second time show them the third sign what does this mean this means that hasem agreed with M he says you're right I gave them free choice which means they have the right and the ability to believe you or not if they believe you after the first one good but they have free choice which means if they don't show them another sign and if they don't again show them a third sign which means that hasem knows not only that we have free choice but he also knows that we may not pick the right choice the first or the second or the third time and he also knows the outcome of that choice if you don't pick the first one give him a second one if you don't pick the second one a third one the third one they're going to believe but nonetheless he knows that you have free choice he knows you may not pick the right choice he didn't say they're not going to believe the first one to show them the second one he didn't say just show them all three right away he said maybe they'll pick one maybe notu maybe they're going to pick the second one if not sh three meaning in essence it's an unknown to us because we're free choice but Hashem knows yet he does not interfere yet he does not interfere with our free choice even though he knows we may make the wrong choice even though he knows we may make the right choice and the right choice is better for us even though he knows what the outcome of each and every every single choice is nonetheless he does not interfere it where's the source this week's because clearly he's telling M you're right they may pick the first one the second one or the third one whichever one they pick eventually they're going to get to the right answer nonetheless so Hashem still did not interfere he didn't say you know what let's just cut the chase I'll just speak to them and you just stand there look pretty he didn't said they free choice that's what I created when did I create it it's the ninth UT utterance chapter 1 verse 26 in the third one God said behold I have given to you all the herbage yielding seed that is on the surface of the entire Earth and every tree that is sea yielding fruit it shall be yours for food this is also again the 29th verse now what we also learn here is that the other creations also have a certain aspect of free choice certain aspect not quite the same as us but they do have a certain aspect of free choice why because here when Hashem says that originally he made us vegetarians originally we were supposed to only eat plants and seeds and so on after we sinned in a generation of Noah after the generation of Noah was destroyed everyone went down a level and every single part of creation had to go to a tikun had to be elevated but even before this happened even before this there were other sins before Noah what was some of the original sins we all know the sin of the snake serpent lying about hem saying about what was another thing that that made that lied not not lied that sinned in essence the tree the tree why do the tree how did the tree make a sin if you look at on the 11th verse it says or S and God said let the Earth Sprout vegetation herbage yielding seed fruit trees yielding fruit each after its kind and so on and so forth where what's the problem originally the a fruit tree that makes fruit seems like there's an extra word here if it's a fruit fruit tree that means it makes fruit no that's a fruit tree a fruit tree that makes fruit means that the tree itself was supposed to be a fruit you were supposed to be able to eat the tree along with the fruit the tree didn't want to be eaten he didn't want to be eaten so he made himself not so edible made himself not so t Y what was his punishment also has Gom what's his G Fire Burns him is used used to be burned regularly by fire that's just so you know now so here we see that everyone has some level of choice some level of free choice some level of significance in creation but nonetheless here we have these t each and every single one of them carries a certain weight each and every single one has a story behind it whether it's the moon and the sun originally they were both the same size they were both shining just as shiny but then the moon said to Hem Hem there could only be one significant light here in essence pick one Hashem says since you spoke I'll pick the other since you spoke I'll remove the light from you make you small smaller and you'll actually have to feed off of the son that's humble why hasem hates Gava hasem hates people that jump forth hey yeah I know that one I know I know I know I know you know what I know you know how much I know you know how much I know I already forgot what you're learning you're one of those people you have a problem so unfortunately this the Moon made a mistake says that it should only be one king should only be one uh light oh one okay we'll make it the sun then does not like G that's why he also picked Mount saai and that's why the gift of Torah was given to mosenu that's why the gift of Torah was given to Yeshua that's why the gift of tah was given to DAV that's why the gift of tah was given to sha that's what was given to these Giants Jump Around say I know I know I'm great I'm good I'm a sadik you know how much I do you know how much I donate you know how much this you know how much that they didn't say nothing why they just did didn't use their opinion they understood the secret the secret to get everything is to turn yourself into a vessel a vessel doesn't complain a vessel doesn't ask too many questions that go against the source oh you said it I agree why cuz you said it who who said it God God said it I agree does it make sense no but it doesn't make a difference it make sense it's his opinion what is it like the said that three different patients three different patients all have same disease the first one knows a lot about medicine he researches what the doctors are prescribing and he says okay I'll take all the medicine you're prescribing the second one second one sees the first one take all the medicine and he lives good for him but maybe it's not going to work for me I don't know what he did maybe this maybe that he knows a little bit he knows a little bit you know you read a few par here and there he went to Yesa for a few years he went to med school for a couple couple of years he he knows a little bit not so much like the first guy he knows a little bit he says I have to double check what this doctor is uh saying double check okay that one I'll take it this one no antibiotics not for me vaccine not for me okay the painkillers for sure okay yes okay no okay yes okay no what happens he dies the third one doesn't know anything third one doesn't know anything he says listen I don't know anything you're the expert whatever ever you say I'm going with he lives also the says that's the three types of Jews we have we have the first one that knows a lot that's the he knows what God's opinion is and he knows it's right so he takes everything he says God said this I know it's right even when I don't understand why he gave us a red cow I know it's good even when I don't understand why he gave us horrible punish M I know it's good even when I don't understand why this and why that I know it's good why I learned a lot of T I know his opinion I know that the way sh works it's for our benefit eternally I'm going the second one no you know what I'm not so sure I'm not so sure I'm not so sure maybe there's a different opinion maybe he's wrong maybe he this maybe he's that you know what I'm just going to keep Shabbat but I'm not going to keep I'm Gonna Keep modesty I'm gonna wear long skirts but I'm not GNA cover my hair I'm gonna wear a wig because there are certain rabbis that say it's okay even though all the greatest rabbis in history said no but there's a few local rabbis that say it's okay I'm going to rely on that I'm I'm GNA bet my on this I'm gonna eat kosher at home but outside as long as it's just vegetables it's okay and they start creating their own religion they start creating their own thought and when they arrive to the world of Truth and Sh to the of sh and they get the surprise of their life they're scared of his face what face says okay now you see the truth okay now you have to pay yeah but I didn't know had my opinion you didn't want to listen yeah but it was tough and yeah but it was this and yeah but everybody else did it and yeah but doesn't make a difference you had my opinion you didn't follow it you followed your opinion no complaints you can complain now it's finished the third one is doesn't know much he doesn't know much but he says Rabbi says something he reads a verse he says as a source he shows me The Source he learns all day I'm going to tell the doctor how to be a doctor I going to tell the lawyer how to be a lawyer what do you mean it's not something that you do if you have a brain in your head you realize it doesn't make sense to go into a medical office and start telling the doctors how to be doctors especially when you're not trained at all which is the vast majority of people if you're trained and you're an expert prove it wrong at least but don't just say no I don't agree with it I'm not going to do it until I know for sure I'm not g to eat until I know for sure this is healthy okay fine by the time you figure out if it's healthy or not you're gonna die I'm not going to take the medicine until I know for sure that it's going to work okay by then you're probably going to die I'm not going to breathe until I know for sure the air is clean fine no problem you're going to probably die in the next 5 or 6 minutes sometimes you just got to be Tam you just got to be just move forward trust the opinion and Sham there was one time a very very special person very special didn't know much didn't know much body was doing Chu his wife was doing Chua in those days few hundred years ago it was easy to do chuva why you didn't have as much today all you need to hear okay God wants this okay I'm doing it so in one of these uh countries in the Middle East guy was going to B didn't know how to read didn't know how to write didn't know too much but he knew how to say amen he know how to say amen he knew they go to they say he says amen amen amen no problem also gives a kiss to everything is good there no too much M so one day he has a t the rabbi gives a t and he talks about the bet mikdash he talks about how in the BET M they had Miracles and this and that and every week they would make these 12 loaves of special kala 12 loaves of bread and the bread was special bread there were put the bread it would be a koban for hasem it's a sacrifice for hem it would stay warm the whole week until the next Friday at the time they would replace it and so on and so forth and all these amazing things so this tamin this guy that's very simple not so smart guy he goes to home excited he says honey we got it we're in what are we in goes listen I don't know to read thisara I don't know to read this mishna I don't know all the stuff they say I don't know but there's one thing I know better than anybody else in the world what do I know I know how to make bread why we're Bakers I heard today a Shure M for us what the it says hasem likes bread he wants to eat bread every week who can make bre better than us they start dancing they start celebrating they love God they just don't know much about him say finally we can do something for hem on Thursday they start baking and they start baking no no this was not good let's do it again this was not good this do it again this was not good all night they're baking and singing and dancing and finally we could honor hem in the middle of the night they go and they put the bread where Ares with hey which where hasem is Hashem is in there with the Torah we'll put the bread in there 12 beautiful loaves of bread fresh they put him in there now the guy and his wife M they're so nervous all night maybe hasem is g to like it maybe he's not going to like it maybe this maybe that how we going to know what we're going to do maybe he's not going to eat it maybe he's going to eat it doesn't know what's going to happen he arrives the next morning earlier than everybody yes 5:00 in the morning he arrives he opens thees what does he see bread's gone goes home start celebrating with his wife all loves our bread hem loves he ate the bread if he didn't like it he eat 12 loaves eat one one bite and fin said no you return return give it back give me something else put some raisins in it or something he didn't like it he take all 12 loaves of G and he does this week after week after week after week month after month after month after month one day he arrives to bring the 12 loaves of bread he's so excited this is working it's making him connected to Hashem he's never been so happy in his life the rabbi of the Kaa that gave this sh happened to come to the Beet because he needed a book in those days not like today you go on Amazon you go on Art scroll you go on feldheim you go on somewhere you press a button you have a book not like that today back then there was one central place where all the books are either the rich guy's house or the besset so the rabbi didn't have a certain book he came to the besset middle of the night he want to learn want to do okay fine no problem he sees this guyy putting a loaf of bread one loaf of two loafs of bread to every SE of he goes what are you crazy what are you doing what's the matter with you goes what I'm following what you said Yeshua 6 months ago you s Yeshua likes bread I'm bringing thean what's the problem for the you don't like the bread are you stupid what's the matter you think AEM eats bread what's the matter with you he took it very he didn't know how to answer this guy all the Tor learned he lost himself a little bit let's say that he lost himself a little bit he said what do you mean God doesn't eat bread God eats my bread for six months I'm putting 12 loaves of bread in thees I come back in the morning it's gone the rabbi is like what do you mean how he's thinking he's thinking the shamash the shamash cleans the Beet he said shamash come over here yes yes yes yes tell me the truth are you the one eating the bread the bread is so good six months I have this bread it's so delicious he says you see you fool you're giving a bread to this guy you're not giving it to hem the whole world collapsed on this guy's head he scared he goes home hysterical crying to his wife he says honey it's all gun it's all fools it's all nothing we don't know what we're doing he's depressed she's depressed they're crying they don't know what to do with themselves that night this is a real story rabai as funny as it is it's a real story that night that Rabbi had a dream in the dream an angel came to him and he says since a had the better mikdash since he had the better mikdash he was never as happy as he was receiving the bread of this common person he was never as happy since the BET mikdash as he was the last six months and you just ruined it tell everyone what you did because tomorrow you're going to die the rav comes to the Kila and he says to them the same exact stories I'm telling you now he says sometimes AEM is not overly concerned about every single little intricate detail as he is with what's in your heart did you really mean it did you really mean it when you were praying did you really mean it when you were learning did you really mean it when you were doing K did you really mean it when you were putting TI on or you're a faker you just go there because you have some friends at theet did you really think you were modest or you between you and me all of us know you didn't think you were modest did you really think you were fulfilling the will of hem or you just feel like you know what hasm maybe doesn't care you try to fool the system because maybe hashem's not watching like the guy that his hat fell on Shabbat right over the line of where the aru is and he ran to the other side and brought the hat back so the rabbi said wait wait why did you run what do you think that if you go fast hasm can't see that you just violated Shabbat you think if you go really fast didn't notice you violated Shabbat why' you run sometimes hasem wants to see what's really in your heart and since what was in their heart was 100% pure and made hasem happy but now I ruined it and two hours later he died inal he intentional not intentional that's the mishna the mishna is saying here that hasem created the world with 10 utterances and these 10 utterances have significance they were not just said just to say there are a few questions that are asked here the mid says why did theem even make 10 utterances why didn't you just do one that's the question that's already in the mishna second question is for what purpose did the Torah inform us of this why did the Torah tell us that he did it in T is there a significance to the tance not only why he did it in t but why is it to telling us that he didn't tell and the last one by R why did God spread the different elements of creation over a period of six days rather than creating everything in one day why did we spread out the creation why you just create the world every day is the same day every day is first day first day first day first day first day first day every day's first day why do you have why do we have six days why do we have seven days why for what right so there's many many things here we can learn so the first thing the mishna itself answers why is this done the significance of the 10 utterances is in order for him to distribute reward and Punishment the reason why he did this the secret behind the 10 utterances is the whole concept the whole uh deal based on reward and Punishment why reward and Punishment because when one understands that hasem went to the trouble if you will to the trouble Rashi explains not the trouble for him but in essence he did above and beyond what would be expected he's the ultimate he's the infinite he's unlimited he doesn't need to do anything in 10 he can do it in a single act which in essence means he minimized himself he minimized him he lowered himself for you he did it in 10 so you would know there was thought going into it if I told if you ask me a question and I simply answered just like that you said where is said and as if I knew the I would tell you the number and where it was or are you allowed to do this this and this and as if I knew the law I would tell you and I gave you the reason many people sell it was easy for him many people ask questions they send text messages emails and so on and so forth and they ask questions are you allowed to do this this and this and surely later they get a response sometimes right away sometimes three days later depending but nonetheless they usually get a response as fast as I possibly can so some people take the initiative and they ask questions like as if I'm RAB by Google they send questions faster than I can actually even answer a single one they ask they ask they ask they ask they just continue asking just to see even if I know sometimes this also helps me stay on top of things if I don't know I end up learning if I'm able to and interested in answering this question but nonetheless sometimes when you answer a question really fast it makes it seem to the person receiving the answer as if it was easy and something that's easy is is not appreciated so is telling us one of the main reasons of why he created he minimized himself and created things in 10 is to show you that he put a lot of thought a lot of effort if you will not that he had needs or exerts effort but in efference there was a lot going into it a lot going into it where the midash M says to Adam look at how thoughtful my creation is the fruits the leaves the colors look at it tree grows from a seed and then it goes into a tree and then there's fruit on some trees and no fruit on other trees and a fruit has different colors why so you know when it's ready for you to eat not just color just because of nothing there's a reason of why the fruit changes colors and there different ways that different fruits grow and there different trees and different fruits and each fruit serves a different part of your body and helps you with different things different illnesses different Health helps and so on and so forth each thing has an extraordinary amount of wi an infinite amount of wisdom in it and just to make sure that you don't lose it the key to making another tree is inside every fruit you finish the fruit inside there will be a seed you take the seed you put it in the ground voila you have another tree to make sure it never ends to make sure it repopulates to make sure that in a real it it's only destroyable by you or me the tree itself will stay the same the tree itself will continue the same thing on the animals when asked AEM hem why do you have these wasps why did you create wasps seems like such an annoying little bug why did you create a wasp it hurts it springful it's this and one day David goes into the camp of sha who wanted to kill him and he wanted to show Sha that I don't want to kill you so he went there when he was sleeping and he took the sword of Shaul he took the sword of sha to show Sha look I took your sword I was right there able to kill you and I didn't kill you isn't that enough you should stop changing chasing me but a was big one of the servants the generals of of sha huh a a was huge huge powerful the whole world something out of this world and he moved his leg he was sleeping and he moved his leg and locked David exactly where he was David couldn't move only way he can move is waking up of he wakes up he dies what am I going to do hasem sends a little wasp goes to a puts a nice little needle in his thigh of was huge didn't get hurt with this but it's like a mosquito bite for us he moved his leg and freed in essence the little wasp that was meaningless was taught as a lesson as a m lesson for everything has its purpose everything has its purpose even this little wasp just saved your life everything has a purpose The Genius of creation is infinite people are so impressed with these cameras on the phones and this phone has this camera and this phone has that camera and this phone has this camera and this oneone has 8X and 50x and 2x and this X and that X all this X's the greatest camera that exists today could maybe store a few thousand photos a few hundred videos and so on but there's a greater one that could store an infinite amount of photos that could store an infinite amount of videos that could store an infinite amount of information inform that cleans itself you never has to be cleaned generates its own lubricant that's only unique to itself can see at different distances on an automatic basis without you pressing any buttons and you get it for free it's called the eyes and everything that it sees it stores permanently sometimes in the frontal part of your brain where you remember it right away sometimes in the back where it's part of your subconscious you have to think about it a little bit nonetheless it's always there it's always there and you get it for free you get it for free what was the last you say look I have two cameras I have two cameras they store they this they this why did you say that when when we all go out you see anybody go outside why look there look at the camera no says look at my creation look how much thought was put into every single thing don't ruin it he says to him don't ruin it why only you or me can ruin it I'm only going to ruin it because of you you're only going to ruin it because of you don't ruin it so when a person understands that in essence AEM put a lot of thought if you will a lot of effort if you will minimized himself in order to create the world and he says you're the one in control in order to ruin it he understands that here you have a responsibility now the the Z kados says that when a man Wast seed it's like he brought the flood like Noah's flood Noah's flood the Maul okay wasted seed maybe they wasted seed also fine but the there was a bunch of them that did it it's just me me doing it them doing it it's two different things why you comp comparing the two why you comparing the two page 37a it says whether destroys even a single Jewish soul is considered to have destroyed an entire world a single Jewish soul is equivalent to the entire world why because AEM in essence created the whole world for originally meaning it was worth it for hm to create the the entire world just for him needless to say for a Jew that keeps to someone who destroys a single soul is like as if he destroy the entire world but there's something deeper hasm had mercy on us and he understood that we are not the first one that the said that knows a lot well also not the last one that just takes things like the guy that made the the baker that made the just says hasm may wants this I'm going to do this we're not so innocent we're not so Tam we want to investigate doctors we don't investigate lawyers we don't investigate the plumbers we don't investigate the contractors we don't investigate who do we investigate rabbis he said something no it doesn't fit my life I have to investigate when you going investigate when I get a chance so until then what you going to do I'm going to continue my way I'm going to continue sinning against theem until I have time to prove otherwise so Shem helped us even with secular knowledge and science came out and saw with these all these these um microscopes that investigated seed rested the seen of a person they investigated and they saw that each ejaculation that comes out of a man has somewhere in neighborhood of 300 million seeds each that have the potential to be a full living being a full male a full female or perhaps even more there's twins triplets and so on and so forth meaning that every single time a man wastes seed it's not that he just did what the page 37 a you destroyed a Jewish Soul no it's not one like you thought it's what the Z said you brought the flood the flood there were hundreds of millions of people that were killed every single time you waste seed you're doing nothing less than that you're doing nothing less than that you're also killing a few hundred million people so when a person understands the responsibility he now needs to know what's the cost page 23b and also it says that just like we have 613 mitv there are 248 Limbs and 365 tendons some Modern scientists disagree with the number but nonetheless this is already not Tora and that's where we go by for the purpose of this example it says that these 248 Limbs and 365 tendons also equal 613 just like 613 mitv and every single one every single one of these tendons every single one of these ligaments say to the the Goof the body says to the go go do this mitvah go wear it's GNA give me life go go do this Mitzvah make a prayer on the coffee before you drink it it's going to give me life go go do this Mitzvah put it's going to give me life how long eternally go do this mitzvah so the body and the Soul can unite eternally go do this Mitzvah every single time you dovah you're thinking you're doing God a favor in reality you're doing yourself one at a person I don't necessarily usually report dreams or stories of Dreams unless it's extremely peculiar interesting and nonetheless obvious a certain person came to me and told me I had a dream what was the dream I had a dream that my son has these chickens flying on top of him and then later on we were with some people that we knew and it happened to be a couple of people that uh we helped them do cha we help them do cha but we haven't seen them in a long time and we're a little bit upset that we they haven't called and they haven't written maybe they maybe they're ungrateful these people we help them do chuv you know you give somebody a CD they change their life at the very least you want him to send you a text message once in a while send the president put a million dollars in your bank do something nothing zero she says very upsetting nothing get nothing from these people but for some reason the two dreams were at the same time does it have any significance so I got to went to my R who knows a lot of things says yes the dreams are actually one the dreams are a single dream he says ma'am is it possible it's possible that the son of yours was sick at some point is he sick how do you know I didn't know I asked you was he sick yes he was sick oh okay he's alive right he's alive yeah is Alive live and well ohem is trying to tell you stop being stop being so upset they don't call you stop being so upset they don't write you stop being so upset they don't deposit a million dollars in your bank stop being so upset why they're the only reason he's alive hem is telling you the chicken is a kapar remember whatever you did to help them in essence you helped your own son okay you helped them good for you good job in reality you helped yourself you do mitvah you're thinking you're helping God you're helping yourself you're helping yourself you think give oh wow give I'm helping this Rabbi I'm helping thison I'm helping this homeless person I'm helping this bride I'm helping this you're not helping anyone other than yourself those that invest in the Tree of Life they're the ones that are happy they're the ones that are Prosper what do you mean but they're they're supposed to they're poor now no no no they're richer now because they invested in they invested in the tree of life so when Hashem tells us listen I put some work behind this creation when you waste seed you're destroying it you're destroying worlds but you're also destroying the benefit that I'm trying to give you a lot of people like to talk about Fortune Fortune this fortune that they go to fortune tellers they go to certain people that pretend to be fortune tellers even if they're sometimes rabbis they want to look at this they want to look at that there's a very very good fortune teller what is it tor Tor says when you waste seed you have no more Fortune how it's the secret the word for Fortune is mazal mazal is three-letter word for Fortune but if you break up the word you take the me the first letter of Maz spells out mi the Z wasting seed just like you waste seed your mazal goes with it also your fortune goes with it also every time you think you were doing something to pleasure yourself good for you it went against you hasem says there's a big cause to all these things I need you to know it I need you to know that there's a consequence for all of your actions one time met up with the one that started and asked them want to write a k want to write a k they said you have a piece of paper piece of paper now even though it was more difficult to get paper back then it was more expensive to get paper back then nonetheless it still wasn't worth that much a single piece of paper took a piece of paper gave it to as he gave the paper the takes a coin out of his pocket and he pays him go no no need it's okay fine the very a merit I give aside from the fact it's not really so valuable Al even if it was valuable I'd still give it to you says sometimes you ask people for things and they give it to you but not because they want to give it to you they give it to you because they feel embarrassed you ask the guy for the ride he's like okay I'll take you you ask the guy for a loan okay here you ask the guy for a favor okay here yes the guy like no again you rabbis again you this again you that so aside of giving you what you wanted they give you something else they give you a bad feeling you want to die they don't really want to do it but the problem is if you take what someone doesn't want to give you in reality it could be it could be decreed in sh as gel a stealing now what happens when this is says what happens when someone steals there's an angel created in that moment that is so big and so strong that he can destroy your entire city do you think I'm about to risk destroying this entire City for a piece of paper notom questioning but the same token I'm not going to put him on to a test maybe he doesn't want to give it to me I can't assume anything I'm not going to put that much on the line to just assume anything this is a man that knew the consequence of every single little piece of paper every single little action let alone someone walking in the street without clothes on let alone someone viate chabbat let alone someone who violates the name of hem let alone someone who doesn't want to study toah because he rather watch sports let alone someone who constantly goes against hem on a regular basis and he's perect perfectly comfortable with it yeah I'm not ready for that it's too much for me what's too much for you to eat kosher yeah yeah I don't like the food I don't like the food also you don't like the foods you're going to continue eating food that's against theem obviously you don't know the price either you should watch last night's sh very Le you'll know where you're going but sometimes people don't want to hear it and they make up all types of strange excuses of why but this is not today's creation this has always happened the person number one that knows a lot goes He investigated for himself already before he was asked he knows the right way the one that's tamim the one that's very simple but just goes whatever they say we do goes He Lives the one in the middle us question everything with the problem with the problem we have a speaker coming they're like who is he who is this speaker what makes him think that he's allowed to tell us what he's telling us what makes him think he can tell us what to do forget they don't ask is what he's saying right they don't ask is what he's saying God's opinion they're more worried about who he is especially where where do he come from what family what lineage how much money does he have how much money he doesn't have is he married is he single is he this is he that I remember there was a guy in business one one of my original first big clients long long time ago almost 20 years ago and a guy started an account with me based on a very simple thing we're talking we're talking we we're talking and I was recommending some type of Bank investment for him to invest in some Bank he didn't want it later on I gave another recommendation it was a wireless communication company called Nextel but one of the calls I told him listen this billionaire is investing in it also his name and this and that and know oh fine I'm investing everything I've told told you the last 10 conversations is irrelevant he's investing I'm investing seems silly doesn't it later on later on I saw that despite me making him money a lot of it he wasn't sending me more but usually you make somebody money they give you more business that's the point at some point in my career people will call me it's like listen I have an extra 400,000 you have a place for me usually it's me chasing them give give me this give me this give me this please you know you're asking for big money but nonetheless you're asking for business but at one point had certain blessing things were working out people were asking me if I have a place to invest more of their money but this one particular guy didn't do it I was making him a fortune the recommendation will work working first recommendation quadrupled second recommendation went up 50% and it was working everything was good and I asked them Bill his name was Bill you have millions of dollars in other places and you're telling me they're not doing even half as much as what I'm doing why not why don't you send it to me you know usually you're always you know ask these questions usually because you're figuring if I do good I get good that's usually the way it works at least the very least in the business world so Bill we're on a roll we're doing good they suck I'm good help me out here what's going why why why am I not getting any more business what's the answer of it what did he say what did you think he said money he has time he has track record we have what's the problem he says well you're not married that's what he says well you're not married he wasn't a Jew you're not married at the time I wasn't married I didn't understand what he meant it was like seriously you could have picked every answer on planet Earth this for me was not one of them it's like somebody put an atomic bomb inside my brain like what I couldn't even respond what do you mean I'm what difference I make you if I'm married or not what difference it make I didn't understand I didn't understand what do you what difference it make to you if I'm married not married this that the other thing but then once you get married you realize you realize a lot of changes why when you're not married the only thing you care about is yourself you can't help be selfish you can't help it you have to be selfish there's no one else to care about just you even if you pretend to care about the homeless kids in Africa you care about yourself you care about yourself when you're married when you're married and you're healthy mentally and she's healthy or he's healthy mentally you're supposed to start caring about somebody else at the very least as much as you care about yourself it changes you as a person old man 70 years old knew this 20s something year old me nothing didn't know nothing didn't make any sense bad recomendation didn't no actually we continued making a lot of money recommendation how come I didn't you don't give me any recommendation I'm not the business I give you recommendation but you don't listen I told you not to buy into Bitcoin you keep buying i b other coins and I already could as well so there you go you didn't listen to me you made money good job so sometimes instead of caring about the message we care about the person now ra Shalom was wasn't exactly like today's rabbis that make a few hundred thousand and they write a few articles and a few blogs and they think they're a big deal he was a big deal but he looked like nothing he looked very simple so one time there was a big meeting lot of big rabbis a lot of big people a lot of rich people they were trying to have a big meeting and what we wanted to hear do we wanted to hear the biggest Rabbi of the generation speak in America who is it it's a little simple goes up there and he starts talking now some of the guests were rich but not exactly in knowledge rich in bank accounts but not exactly in knowledge of what a real Rabbi is what a doador is so one of these rich fools says to one of the other rabbis hey how much does this guy make how much does this guy make he's talking about how much this guy make RAB Cotler goes yeah how much do you make maybe 500 bucks a week so what is he doing up there there's at least four or five Rabbi friends that I have over there each making 300,000 get him out of here who is this guy who makes 500 bucks a week get at least three four rabbis that make 300,000 get them out of here he says it's imbecile has no concept of what Torah is he thinks the background and the bank account and all the wrong aspects of what makes somebody say the truth but in reality the only thing you have to determine is is what he's saying God's opinion it's the only thing you have to worry about not who his father is not where his mother is not if he has money in the bank not if he used to have money in the bank not if he's going to have money in the bank not if he's this is what he's saying God's opinion it's the only thing that matters and the reason why is because God's opinion has a lot of weight so much weight that unlike the imbeciles that get The Nobel Prize whether it be Obama or it be Arafat both got Nobel Prize people that created more problems for the world than I think anyone in the recent past they get Nobel prizes if the Nobel Prize people actually knew what a real is you'd have a 100,000 new Nobel Prize winners but unfortunately we don't unfortunately we don't care about the right things and the reason why is because we care about our own opinions we care about people's opinions we don't care about God's opinion so God is telling you this opinion of mine this opinion of mine is the one that finished last night's mishna this opinion of mine decided that I'm going to give you life whether you like it or not this opinion of mine decided that I'm going to take the life whether you like it or not this a opinion of mine is decided that you're going to have to follow and honor me regardless of whether you like it or not says that someone does not look and find a way to honor AEM on a day-to-day basis it was better off that he was not born why you have no purpose but not only you have no purpose you're not going to get punished for it so that gave you so many wonderful things for free your eyes your ears your nose your kids your wives your husbands and everything else you know of and don't know of put a lot of thought into it and he says that you are the one that chooses to destroy it or not I give you free choice Choose Wisely if you choose life you will benefit eternally you choose death don't come complaining the world was was created with 10 m with 10 MIM with 10 single steps to understand that when you go up to Shem is going to show you look how much work I've put into giving you good look how much effort I've put it to good when you good you wanted you could have easily gotten food well like the snake everything tastes the same I made food taste delicious I made different taste I didn't have to give you different taste everything could have been Gray I made colors for what for you everyone could have had just be born and no children you have the benefit of having children as a matter of fact you could have been obligated to have children but not been able to enjoy itm didn't have to make sex enjoyable but not only do you get the benefit of having a child you could enjoy the process too and every single thing that hasem gives you he gives you a way to enjoy it and look what you did you broke it you ruined it you put it on fire I told you all you have to do is a few things all you have to do is a few things protect the limbs and the ligaments that I gave you each one of them feeds off of a Mitzvah I told you protect your ligaments and attendance I told you do it cover them at the very least be modest cover your body cover your head cover your lips cover your ears what you hear what just comes out of your mouth even the smells you choose to to smell just protect them protect what I gave you not asking for so much so now you go up to sh you going to punish me now yes I'm GNA punish you look what you did why is it a surprise why is it such a why is surprising people in the western world that there's such a thing is punishment even if you drive too fast on the highway there's a punishment for it even if you put your car in the wrong place there's a punishment for it even if you take something that doesn't belong to you even if it's a pen there's a punishment in certain places in Asia I remember somewhere around 15 or 20 years ago I remember somebody I think it was in Taiwan or was one of these places they killed gave a death sentence to a few young people that put graffiti on the walls graffiti just put graffiti gave him a death sentence you violated our walls you lost your right to live obviously it's not right obviously it's exaggerated obviously they're insane but nonetheless we understand that everything has a consequence why don't we think there's a consequence with the Creator when he actually gave us stuff for free why is this a surprise so Hashem is saying to you the extra effort if you will is to remind you to remind you that I did it all for you it's not for me he's already perfect he doesn't need the world he doesn't need you he doesn't need your mitv he doesn't need the apples he doesn't need the bread he doesn't eat the 12 loaves of bread he doesn't eat theot he doesn't eat he doesn't sleep he doesn't rest we say every single day in prayer doesn't need anything it's all for you so when you ruin it why you so surprised he upset yet one single thing to do honor him honor God you can't tell me that you're honoring him while desecrating his name at the same time and that's why I told this very pure n that I spoke to today says yeah I used to be religious and then I saw this and I saw this and I saw this and I chose not to be religious but I promise you I love God more than anyone this is complete nonsense you cannot love someone while desecrating their name on a regular basis a husband cannot say I love you honey you're my wife while he has a girlfriend on the side a wife cannot say husband I love you while she can't stand him while she likes hanging out with her friends more than she likes to hang out with him while every time he asks her for tea she wants to put poison in it that's not love rabotai I'm sorry a person does not love his job if the only thing he cares about is how much money he makes you like money you don't like your job all of these gurus that told you pick something you are passionate about it's complete nonsense go make money and then your real life begins after that and so on you don't need to love it so much trust me you make you succeed in something you'll like it somewhat to survive then you start real life your job is not supposed to be real life it's supposed to be part of life part of life go want to make money go make money do what you got to do work your hours normal hours real life begins after real life begins during real life is not the job job is just the thing you do it's like going to the bathroom you need to do it do it that's not real life real life is AEM that's the only thing you can take with you your job comes goes fired hired restart finish what it's comes and goes it's nothing only thing you can take with you is your connection to Hashem if that connection is based on lies that's all you have you're going to show up to sh and say yeah but I made 20 million a year good for you that's an extra punishment we'll take all those bills and put them in gain them with you to put the extra fire CU I gave you extra reward so maybe you'll wake up say look how much hasm has giving me more than everyone else look how much more is giving me than everyone else but no you want to keep it all for yourself you want to enjoy this world so much to such an extent that anytime you do Mitzvah it's like you're doing God a favor like he needs it so hasem says all this extra efforts it was to explain to you that it's for you so when you come up to Sham and they tell you look how you ruined everything I gave you you're going to be very excited to sign off Hashem you're right punish me and that's what the gar says that's what the gar says the gar says that each soul is the second it leaves the body the second leaves the body and knows the full truth it knows what's waiting for it in sham there's no doubts there's no lies there's no stories there's no case it knows exactly ly what's happening at the moment the soul leaves the body there's no more questions is God real there's no more questions did we really get the Torah in Mount SA or was that just a story or like someone wrote in the comments you know you're saying that the bet mikdash is going to come from shim ready let's not believe in such mystical things we live in a real world we need to build it ourselves like we need to help God cuz he was able to create the world but a building nah that's too much for him let's not be little kids and believe in such mystical things only fools don't believe in mystical things because you are mystical the fact that you can create another human being is Mystical it makes no sense whatsoever there's no common sense whatsoever to literally having a child no common sense why something that's a seed that you need a microscope to see it is going to go to a journey that no human in the history of mankind can ever survive with more problems than it could ever survive with no nothing and has to arrive at a certain destination at a perfect time at a perfect place and go through a horrible crazy volatile process that you never know what's really happening until it's finished for nine months in a perfect way while comfortable while sleeping while getting nourishment and the reality is if one little thing if one little thing goes wrong if something so simple as one of the openings one of the openings that all of us have open it's a little too early a little too early the little baby that's inside the womb cute little tiny perfect little baby that's learning Tora from the Mal he decides you know okay eventually I'm going to leave this body and all the food that I'm going to consume I'm going to have to exit the body let's start early what's the big deal and a little tiny perfect precious tiny beautiful baby poops something simple what's the big deal at that very second both the baby and the mother are in life danger that second they're in life danger where if it's not taken care of immediately they both die but what do you me in in in three days she's going to give birth and then he's going to have to open that opening yes it opened 3 days early it opened two hours early early it open one second early 1 second early it changes everything if the baby decides to continue breathing outside of the body as soon as he or she are born the way they were breathing inside the body no baby no baby why you can't breathe the same way inside as you did outside or vice versa every single time you go to the bathro you say hhm thank you very much for making the openings and the closings and if they were open too too early on this all these blessings you think well it's not a big deal you think it's just somebody came up with it just to give you something to do you can't say you love God and go against him on a regular basis especially when what he's telling you to do is for you it's for you it's not for him these 10 m these 10 things these 10 sayings are a reminder that when hasem pays the righteous has a reason why when Hashem pays the punishment of the wicked there's a reason why it in essence continues last night's mishna you were born against your will you will die against you will but nonetheless once you have it you want it because you realize that it's something precious and something precious means that by default it has a value it has a very big value all hasem is telling you is protect that value honor that value honor that one that hand that gave you that precious valuable thing you can't continue to go against theem and think it's okay yes we're not all going to beu tomorrow yes we're all not going to be s menu tomorrow but we have to try the significance of a person is not determined whether they go to the grave of significance of a person is determined of whether they tried to beish so instead of worrying so much about going to Graves instead of worrying so much about wearing certain clothes instead of worrying about so much about what other people are doing instead of worrying so much about other people's opinion and what they think and what they're going to think once I start covering my hair with a scarf or a hat instead of a wig or with nothing what are they going to think once I start wearing clothes that actually cover my body instead of walking around like 8 billion people people what are they going to start thinking once I wear Titi and I look different than everyone else what are they going to start thinking if I wear a keepa and I look like a Jew what are they going to start thinking when I can't hang out after school or after work and have a couple of drinks and watch the game and instead I go to a instead of thinking so much about what are they going to think when I use all my extra money to actually save Jews instead of bringing more stuff that we don't need to the world instead of caring so much about everyone knowing that I have a lot of money I actually use the money in order to have something significant in Shay instead of worrying so much about everyone's thoughts and everyone's opinions we should take a moment every single day and ask ourselves what's God's opinion what does he think what's he have to say about me well let's see in the Torah he said this is what I'm supposed to do am I am I doing it because he wrote in his Mish that he created the world in a certain precise way specifically so I'm reminded that he did it for me because if I don't do my part he has the very least 10 reasons to punish me at the very least 10 reasons to punish me and if I do right it's at the very least 10 reasons to reward me same place [Music] [Applause] [Music] he [Music]
