Why Is This Rabbi On TikTok?

How is it that you're a rabbi and you make lives on TikTok? What's the What's the problem with doing a live on TikTok if my whole goal is to help people just like yourself listen to the words of the Torah get inspired by it, apply it to your life, become a better person, become a better servant of Hashem, observe Shabbat, become moral, stay away from immorality, do business in an honest way. In so many words whether you're watching this on TikTok or you're watching this on YouTube or you're watching it on Facebook, all of which are right now live uh or you're watching it anywhere else this is going to be later on uh that's our goal. Our goal is to get to people everywhere and anywhere we possibly can. And especially in place like this in social media where now a person that's watching me and is learning Torah they're doing that instead of watching nonsense. Meaning they were already on the app. They were already on TikTok or YouTube or Facebook or whatever it is that they're watching me on. But if they weren't watching me, they were watching something else and usually that something else is not a good thing. So certainly our goal is to spread the Torah, spread the truth in every single possible way that we can and everywhere that we can and we've had a lot of success in helping people get closer to Hashem, do complete teshuvah in different ways, whether it's through TikTok or YouTube or Facebook on our Roku television channels that we have. On WhatsApp and about TikTok X, whatever, all these different social medias we have we have people that have watched us from all over the world and as I've told people many times we have people watching our lectures in six out of the seven continents that I know for sure. How do I know for sure that there's six out of the seven continents? Because we have people that donate from there from you know, each one of these continents. The only one we don't have is Antarctica which maybe one day will come when they figure out a way of how to deal with the weather over there. It's not that nice weather over there so much. >> [laughter] >> Uh but uh uh until then we have people from all over the world. We have people from the United States, from Africa, from South America, from Canada, from Indonesia, Australia, we have literally from all over the world. People that are watching our lectures and especially now that we have our lectures translated to you know, 15 different languages. So we have people listening to my lectures in French, in German, in Spanish, in Portuguese, Chinese, Korean uh we have in many different languages. So it's not just people that are listening to the live that get affected by it, but also people that are listening to it when it's translated to all these different languages all over the world. So our goal is to share the truth of the Torah in every possible way in every possible place. Because this is what's going to help people. This is what's going to help people and we've seen it and as I shall continue. Another thing to say about that by the way Oh, here's a person from Gambia is watching us right now. And a person from Israel is watching us right now. Both of them. Another thing to say that is that our sages teach us that everything that Hashem created in the world, he created it for us to use it in order to honor him. Which means that Hashem allowed people to bring the internet and social media and technology into the world not just for them to make money, not just for them to share nonsensical videos of you know, of ducks crossing the road or of people eating in strange ways or beating each other up. The reason why Hashem allowed all of this to come to the world is because this is going to be a way for his servants to share the truth of his Torah and to fight against the lies of idolatry, of heresy and to warn people to stay away from the bad and to help them get to the good by showing them what the good are. And the point of all of this technology is to sanctify Hashem's name. That's the whole point. So yes, in order for this to exist, people have to make money and yes, people have to have the you know, the ability to make you know, videos that are even against God and and do all types of bad things. With everything you could do bad and you could do good with. If you choose to do good, you'll be blessed. You choose to do be bad, you'll be punished. Are you Orthodox rabbi or modern? Orthodox. He realizes [music] he's sick. Spiritually sick. Nothing wrong with him. All spiritually sick. There's nothing wrong with being spiritually sick. [music] There's something wrong with denying it.
