[Music] good to be back we've had couple of really good sh over here uh usually your questions are better than my but uh you had a couple questions a couple of interesting things um the month of is a time as I was saying in a sh we just did now in Queens mon of is a time of reflection it's a time to for us to re-evaluate where we stand the says I am for my beloved and my beloved is for me representing is representing that Hashem is for me and I am for hem meaning if you look at the first letter of each one of those words it spells out Al spelling uh and uh symbolizing that is closer to during the month of Al than he is during the rest of the year meaning that right now if anybody wants to you know if anyone ever thought about doing Chua this would be the time if anybody ever wanted to get stronger with learning Torah this would be the time if anybody want to take on another Mitzvah become modest keep watch their breit watch their eyes donate money be uh have extra kavana in their prayer this would be the time why would this be the time because anyone that ever experienced the nightmare of having a trial going to court knows that a court case it doesn't matter what it is it's always scary even if it's only for a parking t ticket even if it's only for a parking ticket everybody that's a normal human being is scared to lose because he knows that if he loses this case then instead of it being a $25 or $75 fine it's $500 instead of it being you know a $100 ticket it's $1,000 plus you lose your license instead of this it ends up meaning the trial is scary always Everybody's scared to lose a trial obviously if you even go through a uh a bankrupcy trial for example I remember when we went through bankruptcy uh one thing that I never thought was even possible for somebody that had so much money at some point but I remember the uh biggest surprise that I had dealing with bankruptcy was that someone can go against it meaning one of the debtors let's you have for example you have five people or five companies you owe money to $5 $10 $15 $20 whatever the amount of money is and you don't have the money to to to serve the debt you have no money money there's no possibility for you to pay the money now if you have the money you should know if you have the money but no one knows except AEM and you you're not allowed to declare bankruptcy it's Gaz it's considered stealing even though the government is full of fools they're going to allow every average Jo to declare bankruptcy you're not allowed to declare bankruptcy if you have money even if the money is in your wife's account or in some foreign account if it's your money you're not allowed to declare bankruptcy if you have the money that's considered you're stealing now if on the other hand you really don't have the money you you I don't know you had a business and it collapsed to zero like mine or you had a this and it went another you lost you have and there's no way you're ever going to have the money based on logic and in reality the amount of Interest that's being charged and debt and lawyers that you have to deal with it gets to a point where you can't even pay your bills and you're not even able to live then there's certain rules that the government has different countries have different rules of course there is a leniency in regards to declaring bankruptcy but a person always needs to go ask their Rabbi if they're allowed or not allowed to declare bankruptcy don't just assume just because the government allows you to declare bankruptcy that you're allowed to do it a lot of people do it in real estate transactions they make a couple of deals one of the two deals don't go uh don't go good so they declare bankruptcy on that company they own the real estate under even though they have 18 other companies that are fully liquid fully good everything is wonderful they're all uh printing money but but this one had had a bad deal like oh let's just let's just close this one down and uh let everybody else suffer the pain that we're suffering we're not paying anybody that's stealing that's G that you have to come back in and pay back the money so you have to understand is you have to be very very careful but I remember going to bankruptcy and uh one of the things that was very big surprise is that I thought that you declare bankruptcy tell people you prove I listen yeah there's a million dollars in debt there is a zero in assets can't pay the debt there's zero income zero asset zero this zero nothing there nothing I can do I'm sorry I can't pay back there's nothing I can do about it now one of the things that surprised me that one of the one of the uh uh somebody go outside get those kids to come to this Sho it's better than going in the streets they're coming okay uh so one of the uh one of the things that surprised me was that one of the people that let's say one of the companies you own money to can decide they don't want to they don't want they don't want to agree they don't agree with the bankruptcy they want to be excluded from the bankruptcy and they want to fight they want to prove that you don't have any money this was a surprised cuz I thought this was just a simple thing so a person that goes through that experience where he realize okay so now somebody is rejecting the bankruptcy he's rejecting the trial now you have to fight them you have to have a there's a separate trial it's called an adversary hearing you have to prove to them I don't have the money you have to provide and they have they could they could ask you for every paperwork from now from here until mhu everything that's relevant everything that's not relevant who you're related to who you're not related to they look at your phone numbers literally like it's an FBI investigation it's much worse than an IRS audit and it's a big surprise cuz now you wor like what what if I forgot what if I did what you start worrying even though you know you don't have any money you're still worried like what's going on why are they asking for my fingerprints like what does my fingerprints have anything to do with it why are they asking for my dad's phone number what does he have to do with it like we we haven't talked in a week like you start asking yourself questions even though you know you're innocent still why they asking these questions do they know something I don't know maybe I missed a law maybe I missed something the point being is that anyone that goes to a trial a normal person gets worried why there's a lot on the line even if you know you're innocent even though you know you didn't murder the guy you know that if something happens and they decide you know what we don't believe you we think you did murder you know you're going to end up spending 25 years behind bars there's plenty of people that are sitting in jail today that didn't do it they didn't do it but they couldn't could prove they didn't do it they couldn't prove they didn't do it or there was enough proof to say they did do it cuz the guy looked like them or acted like them or whatever it was hasem wanted it to be that way I believe it was the Ben that one time went to jail one of the went to jail a lot of went to jail by the way it's part of the and suffered he asked himself he said he was his T when he finally got out I was crying in in in the cell asking hem why why why do I why why do I doing in this filthy place this one's a murderer this one's a rapist this one's a pedophile this one is a torturer this one is this this all these garbage of the world why am I surrounded by these people and then hasem felt bad for me all the tears that I spent and something happened to me in a dream and it told me that there are n in the walls they in the walls that came in a because they didn't want to go to they didn't want to go to sh they want to go hang out in the streets they wanted to go hang out with their girlfriends and boyfriends they want to do waste waste their lives so Hashem gave them several chances and each time you get worse and worse so first you're a human being then you come back as something living like a cow or something and then a plant and eventually a person come back as a as a uh as a rock as a rock it's a very very scary thing but in the the book of habab says it says that the rock screams what rock is screaming a rock that has a in it there's a rock that has a in it so the Ben says in my dream it showed me there's several in the walls and the only way they could ever rectify the only way they could do chuv is if I learn T and they're forced to listen now they have to listen they can't go anywhere they're Rock we never become rocks so the truth is is that when a person goes to trial he's scared he's terrified because something's on the line even if he's right even if he's innocent even if he has a clearcut case I told somebody a story the other day I one time had a case the other party didn't show up which by usually if one person doesn't show up that you you win by default I had a lawyer they they had a lawyer but the actual person never showed up we still lost why Hashem wanted us to lose meaning that all the things can be planned and you can organize and you can pay $1,000 an hour like I used to for my lawyers and all the stuff can work out and you think no no I have the best lawyer I have the best lawyer you could ever have and I have best money and I have the best brain I have the best case and I'm right and I have proofs and I have emails and I have this and I have that hasem decides hey buddy you're losing why I decided I decid I run the show so now a person has a trial every year June or n is for Everyone by the way is a trial for every single species on Earth even the rocks that have in them have a trial even the dead that have left 300 years ago have a trial some could actually be in GED right now but they're under trial why why are they why is there a trial for everyone whether they are a Jew or a non-jew whether they are alive or dead why is there a trial in the trial is based on what you do in the last year now it says that hasem opens the book of the living that we understand in the last year you did fine you did this you looked you didn't look you you did a lot we understand why someone that's alive has a trial Hashem has to assess what has he done in the last year but what about the dead what did he do he died he's not here anymore every year hasem assesses what did he leave leave in the world what did he leave in the world now did he leave kids that didn't believe in God cuz he wasn't exactly so religious so he didn't send him to Yesa so his kids married Goot so now his grandkids they also married Goot and now Judaism has been destroyed in that family his his seed is gone or they became thieves or they became Ponzi schemers or they became criminals of some kind or they violate Shabbat every week now he left this in the world or maybe he wrote a book but the book instead of being a seph t instead of being he wrote a book about uh you know maybe about things against God maybe he wrote about what if God doesn't exist mean people write such stupid books and people read this book not just during his life after his life after he dies people still read this book people think that if the book is 300 years old it must be true it must be true people still believe Darwin oh look Darwin wrote it so many years ago it must be true even though Darwin students by the way contradict them and even though Darwin himself contradicted himself and said In The End by the way I'm full of it the reality is is that when somebody writes a book that book is there and someone's going to read it and one second they're going to evaluate and see what kind of to what kind of result results did your work that you had while you were alive leave if you left people that were religious and they're keeping and you have grandkids that are keeping and you have grand grandkids who are keeping and one became a rabbi and one became and one this and one that and so on say oh we're going to get you to a even higher level of G you are in this level we're going to get you even higher how high There's No Limit there's no limit of pleasure in Allah it there's no limit one moment of of the good part even if you had all of the good of all of the people that ever existed and you put it all into a box it wouldn't be worth that one minute OFA in heaven on the other hand if the guy wrote atheist books if he wrote Zionist books if you wrote Christian books if you wrote all types of nonsense that's against God then he has a problem because every year he goes into a deeper level of gay sometimes a person can get to a point where initially he got the ganeden initially got the ganeden why because he left this world young and uh his kids were still kids they were going to public school but they didn't become criminals yet so he did a few mitv and he just slipped into G he kept Shabbat he kept this but his kids he left them in public school said no it's not so important let them uh they they'll figure it out let's just save the $500 $1,000 a month so now when he when he got in there he went to ganen cuz the kids they they're little they're eight nine 10 years old after he died they continue going to public school but now they B Mitzvah now the but Mitzvah now his little cute little eight-year-old daughter is now a m but she's a Mrs Brown because she married some guy from public school she married some from public school and then and and the little Stevie little cute Stevie with with you know with the little peirs when he was three years old but they cut it because he goes to public school now little Stevie married Destiny from the strip club now their he has to pay he has to pay he has to pay they take him out of ganed and they put him in G that's a trial even sh they're scared even in shamim they're scared so a person needs to know if you're going to be in this world at least do a good job because it doesn't go away whatever you do doesn't go away it's not like a stomach ache if you just sleep for a little while it goes away it go it's it lasts has longevity so every single person that understands we have a trial coming up in a few weeks has to get prepared has to start understanding okay I have a trial this is very scary is the people that already left the world are scared I at least I should be scared I should get prepared I should show up with something so what do you do you prepare for the case you prepared for the case okay what could I what could I show up okay I'm gon to show up you know what I didn't really learn that much this year I only learn maybe once twice a week so at least for the next few weeks let me learn every day and start making it a thing while I'm learning every day every day sh every day a little every little few every day something I'm start I only learn 10 minutes a day for for the last year okay let me do 50 minutes now let me do an hour now let me do more why show up with something in your hand give AEM a reason to let you win yes you had a question excuse me because inanimate object has a in it yes inanimate object has a in it and they judge him based on the fact of whether he was where whether he fixed his t not so for example if something is a cow something is a cow then that cow if it's still alive if it's still alive then uh thank you get this if it's still alive then uh most likely it hasn't fixed this tun if it's not then it's not they re-evaluate they re-evaluate the person or the based on where you know what is his actual TM put it in a rock for for a certain reason uh maybe the tun for The Rock was that the rock would have to move six feet somehow now some people say what do you mean the rock had to move rocks don't move but rocks do move by the way there are actually scientific evidence that there are rocks that do move they're in a desert and you can see it on the internet if you'd like you see the certain parts of the desert that these these huge rocks rocks I'm not talking about rocks like a little Pebble I'm talking about rocks that are Boulders rocks that you can build something on top of huge giant rocks they're literally in the middle of just pure desert there's nothing next to them there's not like another rock that ran into it nothing nothing next to it but then you see that The Rock literally moved over a period of a year a half a mile why because you see there's a streak and they actually documented this with cameras and they see the rock moving a little bit every day so rocks do move they're not so in adamant like people think and you can see this on the internet it also you can find it in a few books Rabbi zamir Cohen I believe has it in one of his books and uh there's several other places yes if they have themag doing the wall hello I'll answer this way I don't usually talk abala because it's for the most part it confuses people and in some cases it gets to a much worse case and it turns Judaism into idolatry there are more people attending the cabala center than they are attending synagogue because people are looking for a quick fix so they buy these red strings and they think that that makes him a sadik or that makes her righteous because she bought a red strink for $50 uh so I don't usually talk cabala because I think that most people are not even at the are barely at the level of learning theat in our generation the basic level to talk to any to the general public cabala I think is doing the general public a disservice uh because most people need basic daytoday survival day today how do I get to gunen day today how do I get to a good marriage day today how do I survive if mhia shows up now that's what we need to know in reality cabala stuff once we become experts in the basics then we can talk about that no I don't think you should think about it but in general I could tell you this every single thing in creation everything every single thing in creation if looking in a cabalistic world if you're looking at the worlds of N and things of that nature every single thing in creation whether it's the chair that you're sitting on the ceiling that's on top of you the building that you're in every single thing must have a a purpose because the designer all he does is is provide a purpose he's providing you the ultimate purpose which is told to you in the Tora meaning that there cannot be a single Creation in the world that's purposeless to such an extent that even as creation you and me know that you cannot do anything for no purpose no one ever does something for no purpose no one ever built a chair for no reason you build a chair because someone's going to sit on it no one ever buildt a house say would you build it for no reason are you going to sell it no you going to buy it no you going to live in it no what' you do it for I don't know I just want to look at it okay so the purpose is for you to be a little crazy you want to look at it but that's at least as a purpose there's nothing for no reason so just like it is for the creation such is for the Creator even more so for the Creator so yes there are certain things that have little little certain aspects of a not very much like ours but difference there is to such an extent that there were six worlds before this one this is the seventh and last World some of those people like us didn't exactly do chuba so they had to come back to fulfill their purpose in a different way and some of them had to fulfill their way how by being your chair by being your wall by being something else this is very very deep cabala very very high and above and Beyond the purpose of me telling you is not for you to look into it deeper the purpose of me telling you is for you to stop here and realize there's much more to the world than meets the eye there's much more to the Creator than the things you see as his Creations there's a lot to everything meaning that if Hashem put that much reasoning rationale purpose into even something that's in adamant like a rock in the middle of a desert don't you think that when he said keep Shabbat meant it don't you think when he said be a kosher person and be honest in your business he meant it if he wrote it if he if there are things that have meaning that you never heard about but they have a lot of meaning and they have a lot of significance in the world but he never said it plainly don't you think that the things that he did say plainly have even more significant meaning so the good news is is that everything that's written in the Torah is what's relevant to you whatever is written in the Torah is relevant to you that's what you have to do everything that's not written in the Tor you don't have to worry about meaning somebody that wants to believe in aliens is there aliens is there not aliens why isn't the talk about aliens the reason why T not talk about aliens is not necessarily because there is or there isn't kazal never said there is kazal never said there isn't but what they did say is that if it mattered to you you'd know do you know do it said in the Tor no so that means it doesn't matter to you that means it's never going to be like that movie that I saw before chva called Fourth of July where a bunch of aliens show up to Earth and start killing people that's never going to happen that's only in the movies that's only somebody that wants to waste two and a half hours of their life that you could live in the movie in reality no alien is coming over here and is going to join your Manan that's never happening he's never happen he's not be he's not converting he's not going to become the next president he's not the president now he wasn't the one before he's not coming there's no aliens here yesy alien ideology meaning oh that's that's another word that's another word for uh another way to describe foreign worship Hashem says don't have any other gods other than me what does it mean do means we we have one of The Commandments number two Commandments hem says don't have another God obviously if Hashem is talking to us in Mount sa we're all there all of you me I was here you were there everybody was there a different you looked a little different I think you didn't wear glasses back there by the way the point is is that you're all there Hashem is telling you don't have another God what are you going to say no what's the point of him saying don't have another God what's the point God we get it you're talking to us we're going to cheat on you in front of you of course we're not going to have another guy why is it even a commandment why is it even a commandment the reason it's a commandment is because don't have another God is not just something that's pertaining to physicality do you go and pray to something else to Buddha to JC peny to the ones in between to the cow to the horse to the to the uh donkey to the motorcycle in India there's a religion they all pray to a motorcycle some of them pray to rats all types of wonderful stupid levels of stupidity are found in the world today Hashem is not talking about them only that's obvious that's obvious even the Wrath that they're praying to him is saying these people must be crazy I'm not God but they're not they don't understand the rat language but God is Not only talking about that he's not just talking about about he's not just talking about you worshiping another God when it's obvious you went to some uh Indian temple and you worship some foreign Idol he's not just talking about that what he's talking about is that each person has a and that is trying to convince him of a different God of his own God which God the god of money and any other desire thebat I believe it's 108b says if a person gets angry and he acts out as anger he takes out instead of him saying you know keeping it to himself and working on himself and understanding that everything is run by hasem he is a little Gremlin and he decides to throw something he's angry so he decides to start punching the walls or his wife or her husband or the kids or the neighbor or the employee or the poor table like what did the table do he starts smashing a table or the monitor or he takes the remote and he throws it against the wall he thinks that's going to help his anger the says that person is that person's an idol worshipper you should judge him as an idol worshipper why an idol worshipper explains that if he got to a point where he's acting out his angry he's not only angry but he's acting out his frustrations with physical with physicality to such an extent that he's breaking something throwing something even if he just takes a bunch of money and throws it in the air you know sometimes you get really really upset and you have you have something in your hand in your hand you don't realize what it is just throw it and then you realize it's money and then you and everybody else starts grabbing the money it happens sometimes now the says if he throws his money in the air he's an idol worshiper why is he an idol worshipper says if he got to that low level of acting out his anger like that that means that he's become a permanent full-time employee of the yet why because the yet doesn't start with Hey listen go worship an idol he doesn't start like that first the says you know what why don't you sleep another hour what needs to go to who needs to go to m who needs to go to sh pray at home who needs to keep this who needs to keep he starts small who needs to wearit no one sees it anyway tell them you wear tiit tell them tell them you wear don't have to wear it really who wears keepa come on you today's age you wear keepa they'll kill you you know starts putting on his head that if you wear keepa someone's Arab's going to kill you the Arab is not scared about wearing that turban but the Jew is scar scared wearing a keepa though so now the starts planting little poison seeds in his head he falls for it yet continues then he says okay since you're not doingin anymore I don't have to bother you about that anymore you're not praying anymore I don't have to bother you have to do something else by the way do you see that girl go go say something to but she's not Jewish ah who cares modern society you're converter you're converter he convert her later like Z said to Z said comes to he says M isn't your wife a convert I'll convert kby I'll convert her killed him but anyway a person has a in his head is telling them today to do this the next day to do this the next day to do this every day something else every day something else eventually thear said is going to tell him he's such a full-time such a loyal employee he started with noine no synagogue no this no that then he's looking at the girl then he's marrying the girl then he's stealing then he's this eventually the yet says why don't you go to church for Christmas your girlfriend is she's Christian our family is Christian you have to it's it's he starts giving creating it's you have to have schom you so you listen you married a Christian go to church and he goes to church he goes to church where there's idolatry 100% of the day and he has no idea of how he got here how did he looks around he sees Everyone's an idol worshiper he has no how did I get here how did I get here that's the that's the says the says yet s has become his Idol he follows everything he says so when hem says don't have another God it's not just talking about the physical aspect of a of a actual image of something but literally listening to your own desire and trying to fulfill every desire you have every time you have a physical desire you say oh I must fulfill this desire you're hungry you have to eat I have to eat yeah but you ate an hour ago I have to eat I have to but you ate an hour ago enough Kal one two three times a day you ate 18 times too much you're going to become a elephant relax eat it's enough no no but it's good it's a restaurant it's a discount it's one buy one Burger get three free I have to eat every time if you're one of those people you fulfill every one of your desires eventually you become a slave to who this is more obvious in money than anything else because people are willing to go to synagogue they're willing to givea they're willing to late they're willing to be modest they're willing to do a lot of things but they're not willing to leave their God of money sometimes you're going to see a person looked and act like a sadik in everything else he comes to the sh he donates some money here and there he does a lot of good things things but as soon as his partner or his employee or somebody messes with his money as soon as somebody doesn't paying back a day you know a day late uh an hour late or just doesn't feel like doing as soon as his his pocket is touched all of a sudden Amal comes out all of a sudden his mouth turns into sewer and he starts cursing and yelling and this and that and he starts acting like somebody just killed his whole family what is that okay so the guy Short Change you 15 relax or 500 or five it doesn't make a difference why you acting like this I thought you learned T I thought you did mitvah I thought yeah but he's messing with my money no no he's not messing with your money Hashem is and that's one of the most important things that a person needs to know anything and everything that happens to you in the world is coming from Hashem it's not there's no power outside of Hashem nothing happens in the world unless Hashem signs off on it so when a person wants to fulfill the mitvah that's in the Ten Commandments not to have another God that Mitzvah is the root of Chu what chuv chuv to start making your come under control yes of course we all fall here and there yes of course we're going to all sin here and there but there's sin and then there's I don't care there sin you made a mistake a word came out that shouldn't have come out a yell came out that shouldn't have Happ certain things happen in life until we all become sadik certain things happen you look where you shouldn't look you did this certain things happen along the Journey of Chua there's a lot of sins also but then there's that is something that's not good but what's really terrible what's really terrible is when you just don't care when is one of these people that's on tilt when we just get to a point say you know what since I already looked at her let me go date her too if I already you know what if I already went into this restaurant and I realize it's not Kosher but you know what this Rabbi saw me in a restaurant he probably thinks that I ate here so since he thinks I ate here let me just might as well eat here anyway one time there was a Jewish guy worked for a uh king a non-jewish king and a uh King liked this jewi guy and he said listen why don't you come over and join me he came over he goes yes I can I help you he said listen I want you to have a dinner with me oh I'm sorry I'm sorry your um your highness I can't I can't I can't eat it's not koser you Jews you serious see what kind of steak I have it's the best cow in town so what you want to bless it for you I'll bless it for you no no no your your highness ites it doesn't work like that you know the Italians used to always tell me what you want me bless it for you I'll bless the burger for you they think that just it's blessing the cow that's what makes a coer they don't have any idea they want to bless the cow bless the pig bless the turtle bless the donkey everything they think you just bless it because that's how their religion Works their religion Works us say you bless somebody that makes them righteous complete nonsense so the Jews said no no it's not about blessing I can't eat the steak he says okay you don't what don't have the steak fine but at least have a have a glass of wine with me I don't mean to disrespect to your highness I'm really sorry but once you touch the wine I can't drink it what rude once I no no it's not just you it's anybody that's not Jewish if you're once once you're a Christian Idol worshipper of some kind according to our laws if you touch my wine I can't touch it even if you're an Arab I can't drink it but I could sell it but either way I'm sorry there's only one way that I would be I would be forced to do it he goes what what do you mean one way no I mean if it's you put a gun to my head and say drink it then I have to drink it because my life is worth more than uh this um sin of drinking your wine King says oh yeah takes out a gun goes drink it give me the wine he takes the wine he has a sip okay I drank it goes drink another one drinks another one goes no you like it yeah yeah it's good it's good you're not really upset of me I was just joking with you you know I didn't really mean to kill you you know I was just joking I want you have a drink with me I like you okay upet you know well you look mad at me why you mad at me cuz I don't know I don't know to be honest with you I'm actually very disappointed in you your highness why you are no I'm just your friend I like you I want you have a drink with me because now I'm disappoint he goes why why you disappoint with me you don't like the wine no I like the wine then why you disappointed why did you do with the steak too why don't you put my the gun to my head with the steak sometimes the Jew is a faker and he really wants to be a he's just looking for an excuse we cannot be those people we cannot be the you have to have Jewish Pride you have to have Jewish Pride you have to be proud of the fact that you're a Jew you look like a Jew you act like a Jew you pray like a Jew you talk to hem like a Jew and you let the world know I'm a Jew we don't have much of that today we don't have much of that today young kids today grow up thinking that maybe they're going to be the next rapper or the next basketball player or the next football player their role models are go very rarely do you see a young kid even if they're coming from a religious house saying oh I want to be like AA no they want to be like LeBron James they want to be like uh Scotty Pippen and Michael Jordan from the 1990s they want to be like these people they don't want to be like abaka they want to be like Eminem and they want to start rapping and so so talk about their mom and they're kid and this and that that's what people want to do today why because we don't have a concept of what it means to be a Jew we don't understand how special we are to be Jews as I said in the previous year there are about eight billion people in the world today some say seven and a half either way it's a lot of people in the 1960s a few scientists came out and said that if population continues to grow we're all going to starve to death at the time in 1964 the population hit three billion 60 years later approximately not only we're not starving but we're the most overweight population in the history of man no one is starving those scientists all they know how to do is make stupid predictions Hashem is the one that knows how to run the world but anyway at this point there are almost 8 billion people out of the 8 billion people in reality when they say 8 billion it's not really 8 billion it's really more like 7.96 or 7.95 meaning that they round they round 40 or 50 million if you ever took any type of algebra classes or basic uh Elementary School math they teach you out of round numbers so if they say round to the nearest 10 or nearest 100 so 18 becomes 20 90 becomes 100 and so on and so forth so when they give actual numbers no one actually giving you exact numbers it's all rounding it's all theoretical so when they say 8 billion in reality maybe 7.96 it may even be 7.92 but they're just rounding 80 million now at this point there's approximately between 14 to 20 million known Jews let's say it's 20 million that means that the 20 million is not even a rounding error they rounded 40 million that means that 20 million is not even a rounding error out of the 20 million what's known to me is maybe around three million of them keep Shabbat unfortunately 17 million don't this is a horrible terrible nightmarish statistic but it's a reality check in America only 10% of American Jews keep Shabbat according to a PW research in 2013 that means that 90% do not keep Shabbat there's about six million Jews 5.4 million don't keep Shabbat so this means that when hasem wrote this Torah who did he write the Torah who did he write it for did he write it foru and all the all the people that learn T every day all the people that fulfill all the people that do what he says in the Torah or did he write it for the people that are not doing it did he write the Torah and say you're going to get all these wonderful blessings to the people that are fulfilling the Torah or that are going opposite of the toah they're having gay parades and they're marrying their donkeys like this guy from Spain announced today or all types of things that in the old days you wouldn't even imagine such crazy things today it's become the norm who is the Torah for is the Tora the blessings of the Torah who is it for is it for the guy that's actually keeping mitv or is the one that's making a what's the blessings for it's for the one that's keeping MIT that's what hasm says it's for mosenu and all the peop that follow him so that means that out of the 20 million Jews the Torah is not for the 20 million the Torah the blessings are for the three million Al becomes for the 20 million but so far right now we have three says it's a better bird in your hand and two in the bush in so many words the point is right now 3 million are guaranteed you have blessings this world next world and so on many more join us but the point is is that the is telling you blessings if you keep my MIT that means that Hashem is running the world he's letting the world continue to rotate at 1700 miles per hour he's letting it rotate in space nothing's holding up the Earth in space you ever look at outer space pictures outside of the conspiracy theory files you see out of space pictures of the and you'll see nothing's holding up the GL is a huge trillions and trillions of tons a ball that's trillions and trillions of tons spinning in the same place he doesn't go right he doesn't go left if he goes right and a little closer to the Sun everyone Burns if he goes to the left everyone freezes and he's spinning in the same spot in almost 1700 miles per hour and nothing's holding it job probably job says the world stands on what on nothing what's nothing the says nothing is what when a person keeps quiet in the time of an argument if someone insults you and you stay quiet you're holding up the world so now this world is spinning in place so fast that 1% right or 1% left means life or death for who for the 17 million Sinners or the three million in reality it's for the 3 million as much as we would like to say it's for everyone it's not Al becomes for the 20 million we'd like for it to be for the 20 million we'd even like it for to be for the 8 billion but it's not it's for the 3 million that are keeping Shabbat that means if you're keeping Shabbat right now or if you start keeping Shabbat this weekend the world exists for you you being a sh is a statistical impossibility it's not even a probability why you're one of 3 million people that actually the world exists for out of 8 billion you're one of 8 billion do you understand what the chance is this is less than a percent of a percent there are better odds in the casino it's less of a chance of you being a sh Shabbat you you being a sh Shabbat there's more of a chance of you winning the lotto five times you getting hit by a plane in the face is more likely than you being a Jew that keep Shabbat do you understand these these an I'm giving you extreme examples but that's somebody actually did the research he said the likelihood of you getting hit in the face is by a plane you're more likely to win the lotto now this other is five times win the lotto that that makes you already much more special than the role model we look for than the LeBron James in and the 50 cents and the M&M and the kitkats all of those things that nothing special about them you are the one that's special why because the world exists for you that's enough of a reason to do cha once I know it makes me special once I know it means something now most people most people don't believe that they're special until they hear this till they see they look at the numbers that's what El is for is for a time for you to do to do in general to do accounting accounting of our sins accounting of our mitv accounting of the times I say I don't care accounting of the times I say I do care accounting of the times that I fail counting of the times that I succeeded what could I do to succeed more What could I do to fail less like I said sins happen but don't get to a point where you just don't care don't get to a point like ah you know what I already did this might as well do more why because [Music] that e [Music] puts us in serious trouble now the Prophet Jeremiah he tells am that he saw a lot of Destruction he saw a lot of Destruction that if if you look at the first verse in a chap in chapter four of the book of Lamentations he says I saw Prophet Jeremiah says I saw that the gold melted to nothing everything looked ugly gold even became ugly gold of the BET mdash became ugly from all the destruction and so on something so beautiful became ugly why destruction destruction causes ugliness to exist usually you see women that have lost their looks either because of poverty or because of a cheap husband one or the other women don't lose their looks if their husbands are generous but if their husbands are cheap usually the woman loses her looks why because he's too cheap even for his own good it's a sin to be cheap a sin against theem to be cheap it's also a sin against your to be cheap you're obligated to give your wife whatever she wants as long as it's within reason yes [Music] so she's not Jewish if her mom's not Jewish she's not Jewish so anyway so the Prophet Jeremiah says the Prophet Jeremiah says I saw destruction I know what destruction looks like but in Jeremiah 2 uh chapter 2:35 the prophet says Hashem is a merciful god he loves you he's your father in Heaven he wants you to win he's rooting for you he wants all good for you but he has rules the rules are for you to follow and the rules are for him to fulfill why if he didn't have rules and he made an exception to every case because you're cute and because you're funny and because you're nice and because of this and because of that then all of theim that have sacrificed their life in order to in order to get the Gan don't going to complain to hasm you told us to fulfill MIT that's how we get the G now you're telling this guy that he's coming to G without keeping there something wrong that cannot be so the rules are not only for us it's also for himself also so the prophet says Hashem has to judge us but what's the what's the worst judgment what's the Judgment that makes him really really upset what's the Judgment that puts us in a situation of danger of double punishment the Judgment of when a person says in any I didn't sin I didn't do anything I didn't do anything he plays like he's he plays like he's innocent you know how much I give you know I tell somebody you know you have to keep this yeah you know how much I do you know how much I give you know how I kept you know I help this guy you know I help that guy okay I'm not saying you didn't do what I'm saying is there's other things to do there are other things to do there you have to keep Shabbat you have to keep you have to keep kosher you have to have a kosher haircut you have to kosher the way you shave everything has to be kosher it's not just you did one good thing and that's where you you gave you helped a homeless guy one time in your life that means you're M all a sudden there's a lot of stuff to do you can't just pretend I'm going to do one thing and everything else is good there's no get out of jail free card but the problem is that sometimes a person doesn't see the obligation himself and he thinks that because he arranged the Sho he doesn't have to attend it he thinks that because he donated he doesn't have to listen he thinks that because he donated to the synagogue he doesn't have to attend so when he comes up to on listen I just donated the they selling I just donated 50,000 so I did my CH I didn't make a sin even but I donated anyway because I'm a nice guy that's what the guy says he thinks because he donated or he did something good in his life he didn't Len and the prophet says this makes the situation much worse why because now a person gets to such a situation where he literally does not see any sin in himself which puts him in a place where he doesn't have a chance to do Chua why who's going to do Chua for something they didn't do if you believe you didn't do it why you going to do Chua for it yes you're saying that some has to remember what they actually did IO Grand how how Okay so there are certain things that a person knows that he did wrong before every single person whether he was born religious or not is irrelevant every single person that's a righteous Jew wants to have a chance of being a righteous Jew has to classify themselves as a BAL Chua why because to be righteous that means you have to do Chua every day for what for sins you've made you may not have made if you're religious from birth you may not have made the obvious sins like Shabbat or or other things not eating kosher but there are other things you did make a sin on whether you look at a girl that's not your wife or you ate something that's not appropriate or you didn't double check or you didn't learn there's a million and a half different things you you can double check everybody sins that's what we have to do chuva for every day so there are obvious ones now in a book of Deuteronomy seph chapter 4 it says that in the end of days Hashem is going to give everyone an opportunity to find them if you look for me you will find me only if you look for me with all of your heart and all of your soul what does it mean if you look for me with all of your heart and all of your soul meaning if you're looking for the emit regardless of what it cost regardless if if the Amit means you have to get a divorce because your wife is not Jewish you're still going to look for it because you're looking for the Adit regardless of theit means you have to leave your job because your job is not a kosher job you're going to leave your job because you're looking for theit Hashem says if you look for me you'll find me you'll find the you'll have the opportunity to do CH which means to our question is that if a person is constantly living chuv every day does a little he says okay I'm working on this I'm working on this I'm working on this and then he continues to learn as he continues to learn T he learned some more he learned some more he learn more Le some more you know and so on and so forthem sees oh my son wants to do CH he wants to do Chua this is good so what I'm going to do I'm going to open up his mind to make make him realize and make him see something on the page he didn't see last year when he read the same thing sometimes you could read the same par twice in the same week and read it's almost like you read two different par but it's the same thing why because the first time hasem wanted you to Chu do chuva on one thing and understand one thing the second time you read the par he wanted you to understand something different you the same story if you will but there's a specific K you had the second time that you didn't get the first time that's why we read every year doesn't matter how many times you read it you're still obligated according to to read it three times twice you have to read at Basics and one with commentary why because you need to be an expert in what happened and who's telling who's talking who what when why why are you a Jew why you so special you have to know why that's that's the five books of Moses you have to know what's going on if you don't read you don't read it's very very difficult to get to any level of any level of religiosity any level of any knowledge whatsoever if your entire T is is is dependent on you watching a once or twice a week it's not going to be enough you'll learn a lot from the sh but you're not going to get to full Chua that way and the reason why is because hem wants to give you more knowledge but he only gives knowledge the says he only gives knowledge to those who love knowledge what do you mean those who love knowledge they love knowledge why why does he give it to them why does he give it to the fools if you give it to the fools everyone would have knowledge he goes no says no if you give the fools knowledge they won't know what to do with it they'll waste of a nonsense but if you give someone as a knowledge he'll know what to do with it why because to get knowledge requires hard work requires toil requires effort if I give him knowledge I'll know what to do with it so if a person is constantly reading he's constantly learning he's constantly listening even if he knows the story Rabbi said a story started a story but he heard the story not allowed to interrupt even if your friend your friend he just started doing Chua you got him to do Chua you got him do chuva yeah listen look at RAB ruin Hey listen to him RAB M listen to him RAB zon listen to him whatever whichever good Rabbi it's in the world you give him a CD he listens to him he starts doing chuva now you've already been in chuva 2 3 4 5 six seven years but you got the guy to do he comes to you three four five months later he says you're never going to believe the story I just heard oh what story he starts telling you the story you heard at least no less than 10 times he starts the story you're not allowed to interrupt him in fact it's the opposite you should actually listen to his story and act like you've never heard it before why him telling the story is part of his chba but a lot of people have too much G they have too much ego what do they want say no no no I know that story I know so he starts another as the poor guy just started doing cha poor guy okay I want to give him a not I don't have anything so he starts giving another story I no no I heard that one other you can kill the guy's Chua you can destroy the guy's Chua that way why cuz the guy felt good he felt excited he learned something finally in his life he wanted to share with somebody you have something good what do you want to do you want to share it he wanted to share it but now you know everything so he's like I have nobody to share it with I'm so behind he already knows all my stories by the time I catch up to him it's seven years from now I don't have that much energy I don't have that ah I'm going back you could literally kill a person's Chua by not listening to a story you're never allowed to interrupt not your Rabbi not no anybody listen to the story even if you know it why because you have to be careful with a Jewish you have to be careful with it if the guy finally got to a chance to do Chua he wants to do Chua you have to tread carefully why this whole world is in your hands right now so these are certain things that a person is not going to think about naturally why we're full of ego we're full of show off we want to tell everybody we know want everybody tell everybody and show everybody that we're all we're all KES we're all perfect but the reality is it's we're not so when a person is really seeking to do chuva that means he's constantly seeking to become more and more humble because the tah is only gifted to a humble person the says the Tora is like water why is the Tora like water because because water naturally goes to the lowest level it constantly goes to the bottom even if it starts at the top of the mountain it'll eventually end at the bottom of the mountain same thing with the Tor Tor goes to the person that's the lowest that's the most modest that's why the highest the biggest in history is mosu biggest prophet in history mosu why humblest man of all time so this is something that's critical to know critical to know because you want to become a vessel of a you want to be a vessel of all the truth in the world world and hasm wants you to be the vessel but the only way to get to that point is by constantly chasing the truth as you chase the truth you learn more and more Hashem says okay great he's already been doing CH up for six months let me unfold another peel of the onion and show him another thing he didn't know he didn't know that it wasn't allowed to have an abortion he didn't know mein he thought that oh the kid is still in there it's not really a kid the doctor said it's just a piece of meat he didn't didn't know that after 40 days it has 100% he didn't know he didn't know that it's 100% human being just little because the doctor from a plant Parenthood told no no it's nothing it's it's nothing it's like a pee it's like a it's like a nothing it's like it's like a you know they call aala aala in Hebrew like Drop like you know like you dropped a pen like it doesn't mean anything it's meaningless in reality after 40 days 100% it's a living breathing human being and anyone that is ever even contemplating doing an abortion should go to the websites and see you can ask me I can show you videos of what actually looks like there's nothing more vicious than doing an abortion the guy didn't know he didn't know this information so when his so-called girlfriend didn't feel like having the baby after 3 months she asked them what do you think I should do just aala just an abortion big deal have one what's the big deal it's not here it's not alive he says One of These Foolish things and she goes and commits murder he's a partner in a crime so now he didn't know until now he didn't know he committed murder he know that if he goes to Sham he goes to Sham say oh yeah his Steve his Steve the murderer murderer I killed a fly no what murder fly you killed eight babies last year what are you talking about me they show they show him so what is he GNA do this m this poor Steve what is he gonna do if he's learning the if he constantly learns M he constantly learns Torah he's constantly trying to get to the bottom line what's the truth what does AEM want for me what else can I do to become better what else can I do to become a better person a better Jew a better servant of little by little hasem is going to peel the onion and show him a sh or a page in a book that shows him hey by the way not only is it not allowed but now you have to do Chua how do I do Chua for murder how do I do Chua for murder somebody committed a you know abortion how do you do Chua now you have to spend extra effort helping any time there's an opportunity somebody asks you you spread the news not allowed not allowed not allowed to do an abortion and meaning K helping Jews do chuv is part of your chuv as the prophet Ezekiel in English says so the prophet tells to meaning do CH return and bring others back do chuva and bring others back make other people do chuva this is Ezekiel chapter 18 verse 30 return and bring others back meaning do Chua and get other people to do Chua from all of your transgressions so that they not be for you an obstacle of iniquity cast off upon yourselves all the transgressions through which you have transgressed and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit why should you die oh House of Israel so it says in the beginning do chuva and get other people to do Chua why why would you let others be a something that's going to continue your sin meaning that in order for a person to fix some of their sins it's not possible for them to do it themselves why long gone they've gone to the past the point of no return there are certain things you can't undo you can't undo murder you can't undo it but you can do chuva for it how if you really cry to hem during during the rest of the year during a time that you pray instead of crying to him for more money and crying to him for more material you cry for him to help you do Chua then hashm will give you the opportunity to do it how he's going to send someone to you that wants to have an abortion he says so what do you think should I have the baby and you have to do at that moment you have to take the bull by the horns and run you have to do everything possible everything possible to convince this person not to do it show them all the proofs show him all the videos show them everything you possibly can but how do you how is AEM going to determine whether to send you somebody or not if you spend time learning and being prepared for when the time comes CU if he sends you somebody you don't know anything then it's just a waste because they G to ask you think I should have it you don't know it's you don't know it's anything so you say I don't know I don't know it's okay you missed an opportunity to do chba so when a person learns that something that he did is a sin that he needs to do chuva for he needs to learn a lot about that sin needs to become an expert on that sin and start telling people about it start sharing the information why because that is part of your Chua that is part of your Chua getting other people to do Chua because there's certain things you just can't fix violating Shabbat in the past you can't fix you can't bring back the Shabbat you violated so what do you do you get other people to keep Shabbat wasting seed is not something that you can fix it's gone it's wasted so what do you do you get other people to stop wasting sued now some people have the gift of God gave me the ability to speak not everybody has that the good news is you don't have to be a speaker in fact it's much easier to get people to do cha doing what you do than me it's much easier for you to get people to do cha than for me and the reason why is because people look at me as someone that has somewhat of a bias some I have something to go he's a rabbi he's a this he's a that he's a I'm not really sure I want to listen to him unless somebody starts listening and they realize it's good but you they have a connection to you they have a connection to you they're your friend they're your cousin there's a con put them in your life for a certain reason now the problem is that if you tell them they're not going to listen so what happens so what's what's you don't have the gift of Gap or perhaps they don't want to listen to you even if you do so what do you do say no you I love you okay you love me so listen to him you tell him to listen to me if you tell them to listen to me you tell them to listen to ra you tell them to listen to a kosher Rabbi then they'll listen but if you tell them to listen to you or they just find me out of nowhere it's less likely why because now you become the referral Network you become the stamp of approval you never going to recommend somebody Hey listen go buy a car from this guy he's a real big Thief no one ever says that no you tell him go buy a car from this guy he's a real mench he's a sadik he's a good guy I'll give you a discount so that means if you're going to recommend this guy go listen to this guy he's a real he's a real good guy like oh okay he's a real good guy it's good but now the ego that they have allows him to listen why because now they just listen to recommendation just like they listen to a doctor recommendation or a lawyer or do or anything else but now they're ego allows them to say it's still my idea it's still my idea to listen to he told me he recommended it but I still decided to listen so they still put the of their ego they still their idea that's why it makes it much easier for you to get people to do Chua those CDs are chuva those CDs are Chua tools why you give somebody a CD you never know where it's going to end yesterday we did a sh in Queens before the Sho I met someone actually I met ra mrai for a few minutes and we're in a street and some guy stops in the middle of traffic and starts screaming oh Rabon I never met the guy in my life but all I know he knows me because he watched the shoe Rabon how are you he start talking to us nice guy cute guy told him come to the shoe tonight goes yeah I'm like hey come to the sh he came to the sh he got scared but the point is point is he came to the shoe he came to the shoe so when he came to the Sho why did he come to the shoe because he watched the Sho six months ago a year ago whenever it was and the sh changed his life sh changed his life I went to the lecture I saw a bunch of people that sounded their Nam sounded familiar but I didn't know who they were and each person like oh you changed my life I didn't change anything by the way it's only the to I'm only the tiki I'm only the parrot that says it but people want to blame me so I'll take the fault for now the point is they said you changed my life change my life change my life change my life the Torah changed their life but they have to put a face on the Torah so you happen to be the face well how do they get it one guy says oh yeah I found your CD in in in AET I went beet I found a CD cuz uh this such and such happened I had to go to the B I found a CD I found a CD in a kosher store that was selling shuarma I wanted shuarma and there was CDs at the shuarma store so I took a CD I don't know it sounded Cool Wall Street Western Wall I put the CD on you never know what happened to me I said what happened he goes I cha one woman tells me she's in Canada M she had cancer the woman had cancer she was in the recovery but just physical recovery not emotional recovery you should know that sickness physical sickness the most difficult part of the battle is the emotional battle the mental battle not the physical one physical isys physical you never necessarily get used to pain and I'm telling you that from a lot of experience with pain but you get much more beat up from the emotional damage that it causes you from the mental damage that it causes you because you think it's never going to be over you think that the current pain that you have is never going to go away you ever have a toothache anybody ever have a toothache go I'm the only one so people had toothache here doesn't it feel like when you have a toothache it's never ever going to go away like the toothache is just there permanently and this you've arrived at gome and that's it it's never going to end even though minute after the the the the dentist put something in your mouth that goes away but when you have it it feels like it's never ever going to go away I'm going to be like this and you get depressed I can't believe it's happening to me oh my god oh this ah why why me what okay it's a tooth fi relax it's going to go away as soon as you go to the doctor but we don't feel that way why because when you're in the fire it still Burns even though you realize it's going to end at some point you don't feel it so this this this woman she was still recovering from the emotional damage of cancer she decided to go and take a vacation to where where does somebody that's cries go to goes to goes to the Western Wall in Israel she goes to the Western Wall she has no idea who what when and how to do here but she's there she sees other women she starts crying to Hashem and after she's finished crying she looks over to a side and she sees there's a CD one CD it's not a lot of CDs usually you don't put CDs in a cotel there's one CD there she looks over the CD and it's it's in a language she understands it's in English she speaks English that's her first language she sees all from Wall Street to the Western Wall and she looks at the the CD she maybe somebody left it there it's odd there's a CD at the Western Wall the cotel doesn't have CDs it has notes it has people it hases it has a lot of CDs is not typical to find she's looking and it's in English I mean we're in Israel it's not exactly the uh English capital of the world looking waiting for somebody to take it and then there some woman over says take it it's for you CD is for me it's for you it's for you take it it's fake it's for you take it she goes so it doesn't belong no it's for you as if she knew she wanted it as if she knew this is the language she speaks she took the CD the woman was looking for God so God sent a CD from America to Israel to the Western Wall somehow to stay there at the time the woman that's crying and looking for him goes there if that's not a miracle what is you understand these CDs people tell me yeah but listen people don't have cd players in their new cars I said I don't care I don't care I don't have cd players the CD is just an introduction I don't care if you listen to the CD I care if you go to the website I care if you look up the rabbi's name you look up yon ruen you go on YouTube and skip the duck videos that people have and go to my video instead why because now you're going to press play in your in your life is going to change because For the first time in your life you can actually hear AIT and it's AIT it's truth that you could relate to doesn't matter who you are religious not religious Jew non- Jew everyone can relate to this why it's mus it's practical living advice advice with a purpose but the point is is that some people have a CD and they put it in some people just go to the website but they use this as a business card they see the name they like it they take the CD and they're not going to throw it away why cuz it's still something physical it's tangible so now they're going to put it in their room they're not going to throw out and it's going to constantly remind them to go to the website to go to be.org to go to the app that we have now on the App Store to go into YouTube to look up the name to go to to now you have a destination you have a destination to go to and once you start going to that destination nothing is ever going to be the same again this is helping me do cha not just you because there's plenty of things that I know I did and I'm trying to fix them and there's plenty of things I don't remember that I did I don't remember I simply don't remember soem says okay you want to dedicate your life to is fine I'll get other people to do tra for those things this is even more possible in your by you why you take a few CDs you give it to a few friends you give it to a few enemies you give it to a few neighbors you give it to a few people far away you give it to anyone that's will to take it and you give it and you spread it around you invest in it and you make sure that you realize this is your Gan Eden's investment it's not oh yeah I don't know if they're going to listen not listen that's not your business the to the results are not your business you just make the investment you just put the effort in if you have money you invest money if you have time you invest time by giving out the CDs if you have both do both invest money and time the point is do something why because you need K in order to do Chua because there's certain things you just simply don't remember yet but if you get somebody else to do chuva and they they do Chua for that specific thing it's like you did Chua for it and eventually is going to help you do Chua for it as well but the point is is that keep K is not just something nice to do K is a critical part of our CH kiru is a critical part of our our serving of hem every single Jew is obligated to do it especially in the generation that we live in today right now I don't want to bore you with more terrible statistics but you need to know this you need to know this you need to know how bad the situation is so we can fix it right now in America we are approaching a 90% intermar marage rate in some places in America it's even more that means that n out of 10 Jews are marrying go there certain places it's a little less like 70% but the reality is is that even if it was 60% or 50% or 10% it's still terrible that means we're losing 10% of the population unfortunately it's not even 10 it's 90 now what happens when 90% of the Jews marry Goen that means we are one gener generation away from them not being Jewish anymore why because their kids even if the guy is a uh non-jew and the woman is a Jew and the kids become Jews the kids are still Jews right the problem is that if a kid grows up in a household where his father is not Jewish what's going to happen the kid's either going to become an atheist or a Christian or something that's you know what they call is uh uh neutral he just doesn't care about anything so now this guy he's going to marry anyone even though technically he's Jewish he's not going to consider himself religious so he's going to marry a Goya now what happens when he marries a Goya other than other than Hashem crying other than Hashem crying what's going to happen his kids are going one generation no more Jews do you understand where we're at right now if we don't do kiru there won't be anyone to save by the mhia so it's an obligation not just because you're doing chuba not because you owe this to your people but because you owe this to your father in Heaven you owe this to you want you want you want good things one day the mashia is going to arrive you're GNA say what' you do for me to come say went to you went to sh for you you need to learn anyway what to do so you went to theu for you I prayed what did you pray for you prayed for money you prayed for Z he prayed for stuff for you he didn't pray for me what else what' you do for me what' you do to bring this the G what' you bring what' you do to bring mashia what' you do to make AEM happy what are you going to say there's only one answer there's only one answer that you can say that's positive I made Jews religious that's it that's the only answer that's possible anything else is not good everything else is for ourselves this is why is a critical component of your life it needs to be if it hasn't become even if you haven't done chuva yet even if you still don't keep Shabbat you still have to do it why it'll help you do it it'll help you overcome your you see a lecture it's good stuff press share you see a rabbi he's good invest in him invest in his CDs give out do whatever you can you see somebody good invite him to come speak do something do something why because the reality is you're only here because you want to be Jewish if you didn't want to be Jewish if you want to be these reformed people you wouldn't come to ISU at 11 o' at night you want to be Jewish so at least do good at least be good at it get other people to join us so the next time instead of having 50 people we have a thousand people that are interested in becoming Jews yes so the answer is this Shalom he said that a Jew is different than any other creation if a human being is not Jewish they can either become they're either decent or they're bad but in general their status as a human being doesn't change an animal it's either aive or it's dead it's either it's it's an animal it's a cow it's either going to be used to provide milk to provide meat or it's just corpse plant it's either alive or it's dead a rock is either used or it's not used it's either used for a building or it's just in the middle of the desert doing nothing or as we learned moving a little bit but now a Jew is different a Jew is different l a Jew is different in a way that a Jew either adds to humanity or he takes away a Jew does not have the ability to be neutral a Jew does not have the ability to stay the same he's either going up and improving the world that surround him because of the power of instilled in him or he ruins it he either builds the world or he destroys it as said to abah ainu a prophecy of what his children are going to look like he said your children are going to be either like the stars of the heavens or they going to be like the dust of the ground now if we're talking about number then there's a lot of stars and there's a lot of uh sand so why would Hashem give two different uh examples of a lot just pick one they're going to be a lot like the stars they're going to be a lot like the Sands why the sand or the Stars here we learn that said to a your people your children are going to have super ability Super Brain super everything super but those super if they use them right by reading my manual they'll become above all of mankind they'll become like the stars if they don't they'll become worse than the Nazis lower than everyone else what's the proof the proof is not just the examples you mention of what's Happening dayto day some people pray for the Israel to do and to succeed and so on and we all are supposed to regardless of whether you're about or you're you're part of or you're part of or you're part of this make a difference you're supposed to pray for it doesn't matter if you agree with the government or you don't agree with the government government is unfortunately a secular government but unfortunately no one that's a righteous Jew could ever agree with the Zionist mentality that's communistic especially the founders of it the founders of Zionism I remember in college I learned Zionism and they don't teach you anything that you can learn on your own because when you learned Zionism in school I went to Vig University they personify each one of these Zionist leaders whether it's benon or or herel and all of these other they personify them like they're these Idols they're great they're wonderful they're this they're that in reality these people are very Wicked people not just because of Torah standards but because of just human standards and it's not once or twice or three times that it was found that many of these people did things that actually just as bad if not worse than the Nazis a lot of people don't like to hear this but this is part of the truth and just in recent history in just the last maybe 10 or 20 years they found many yemenite families that have been complaining for the last 50 years about lost babies what happened to to our babies what happened to our babies mom mothers gave birth to babies in a in Israel they moved from Yemen to the new and they gave birth and then moments later the nurse tells them no we're sorry ma'am your your baby died baby died you were just just giving him muchi muchi two seconds ago what died show me no no sorry man you have to go what God I just gave birth go go go they kick him out sometimes they kick him out of the ambulance sometimes they kick him out of the hospital so weird weird strange things and the mothers many of the mothers said I'm telling you I don't believe the baby died for years decades they would complain about this but no one to a deaf ear no one heard but then some files came out and some investigations were done showing proof that unfortunately these Zionist types of mentality people Lefty liberals took these kids and did different types of human experiments on them because the American Medical public was willing to pay a fortune for it different types of scientists from America were willing to pay millions of dollars for research on humans now you can't do it in America so what do you do you do somewhere else where ah Israel so they paid different Wicked people in Israel to take humans and start testing them and many most 80% of the time the kids died now how does a person get to such a low level of humanity forget about keeping Shabbat no keeping Shabbat that that requires Torah that requires you to understand who God is but how does a person get to a point and take a little innocent beautiful baby that's just born a minute ago and start cutting him up into little steak pieces how do you get to such a point you get to such a point when your whole life is empty of toah it's empty of God it's empty of purpose once you're empty of purpose God and Torah in your life you're worse than an animal because you were given a superpower you were given a superpower and that superpower is either some or some it it's either the portion of life or the portion of death to this R these are things that happened it's not conspiracy theory these are things there are trials for right now until this day in is trying to uncover these files they're still trying to hide them and say no no we're going to uncover them in 70 years when everyone dies when everyone that cares dies no but I want to know if my sister's alive I want to know if my brother's alive I want to know something and they're fighting for it me skining poor people the point I'm trying to tell youai is that a Jew is not like everything else Shalom explained a Jew is not like everyone else you cannot say no no my friend Johnny the Italian he's like me we're like brothers no you're not Brothers he's nothing like you if he converts he's like you other than that he's nothing like you why you have a Jewish n and for all of those people that don't like to talk about Jews being better or not better and so on that's a reality that even the go know even the go know that the Jews are special you look at all of these people that hated Jews what do they hate Jews they're scared of them why would you hate someone that's less than you they're not less than you many philosophers writers novelists and so on and so forth have written many times about am being special many times even presidents of countries presidents of the US many times have spoken positively about am because they said it doesn't make sense that one of the smallest civilizations populations in the world would contribute more than any other part of humanity it doesn't make sense we have more nobble Prize winners that are Jews in the world statistically than any other country in history number-wise there's more others but statistically percentage wise there's no one more than Jews it's not possible it's not humanly possible or rational to think that Jews are controlling the financial world in America Jews are controlling the financial World in Israel in many other places Jews are controlling Hollywood Jews are controlling all types of media and so on and so forth it's not normal but that's because you have a super there's no other way to explain it it's not because you're smart there's plenty of smart going there's plenty of smart go but the Jew has certain mission in the world unfortunately if that mission does not include hasem unfortunately the mission will be against his own people yes yes it's in the Tor a in the T it tells us we are our worst enemy we are our worst enemy always we've always been we are our worst enemy at Mount saai we just heard God tell us keep the Torah what did we do we didn't listen we uh let the go the start bringing idol worship we didn't say anything hasem always wanted to kill all of us if that wasn't enough we started complaining against God for the man that he's giving us he's giving us free food we're still complaining if that's not enough We complain about not having meat if that's not enough we went with the non-jewish women who did all of this we we did it to ourselves so that's the reality we're doing it's not the go theim are a way for hem to run the world theim are different tools that hem runs the world they also have geden if they're righteous according to the tah and they have G if they don't follow the Torah but the point is is that they are used as tools to forem to run the world anyone that becomes a leader whether it's a president of Israel or president of America or president president of whatever or a king of something someone in power he officially becomes one of the main tools that Hashem uses to run the world somebody came to the one time and he told him I just collected some money from Africa it was a good trip he said yes but what about the Africans he said excuse me goes yeah what about the black people over there how are they doing the guy wasn't sure what the what was asking goes what do you mean why do you care about the black people in Africa goes no I heard I heard that they're being abused over there and taking advantage of and so on he says uh well uh yeah well I think the situation improved but why does the rabbi care about a bunch of people that are not Jewish no of course I care why because anything that happens in the world is because of if there's a Indian person in India suffering it's because some Jew did something if there's a black guy in the middle of holly would does something it's because a Jew did something everything in the world runs around the Jew that's a reality that no one likes to talk about but that's the reality that is the reality the Jew is the reason why the world exists if he's righteous it'll be a good world if he's not it won't be and you look at all of history when we were really really religious at the time of SCH there was peace around the whole world peace everywhere everyone was at peace yeah but what about these guys and these guys they hate each other all the time yeah but now there's peace why because there's peace among is but when hates each other there's Wars everywhere if you notice right now in the news you don't have to watch the news every day just watch it one time it's good for the rest of your life every day tell you somebody died somebody lived somebody died somebody lived somebody died somebody lived and everyone wants to fight same thing now right now everybody wants to fight Europe hates each other the Euro the nuro the the they want a different currency same currency this that the other thing everyone hates each other America they hate each other here in Israel they hate each other over there everybody hates each other everyone wants to fight America wants to fight Russia Russia wants to fight America North Korea South Korea China is considering some big fight everybody's considering fighting the syrians are killing their own people no one even cares by the way hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people have been dying every month no one cares because nety is not M net is just a human being that's not religious he doesn't comply with the tah he complies with his ego he complies with his desires and he complies with all the things that make sense to him logically problem causing problems he doesn't think he's causing problems neither do the people that vote for him the point being AB is that we comply with the rules of Hashem regardless of what other Jews do or don't do why because we still have to comply with them even if you are alone on an island with with your next door neighbor is a monkey and a giraffe you still have to be a righteous Jew even if you were surrounded by all of the Hitlers of the world you still have to be a Jew it doesn't make a difference MIT was in the Holocaust and used to celebrate regardless of what was happening one of the people would ask him how come you happy he says what do you mean I'm I'm a Jew that's already enough of a reason they eventually murdered all of his kids 11 kids and his wife after the person came to him and told him that the nais murdered his 11th kid he initially got into a shock and then he started celebrating again hey hey hey hey just told you murdered the 11 the last kid the baby murdered them [Applause] hey how how what's going on goes what what what you what are you asking what are you asking he says no why are you celebrating I just told you but at the same time why were you scared a minute ago oh you're asking that oh when you told me me that the Nazis murdered my son initially I thought to myself who did this to me who did this to me who killed my son who killed my son but then I realized oh it's ABA oh hey I know it's good if it's from ABA I know it's good if it's from ABA I know it's good why he said what is it like it's like somebody's lost in the jungle he doesn't know right he doesn't know left everything looks the same but all of a sudden somebody gives him a nice chap to the back gives him a nice slap to the back and he scared immediately w and then he SE oh it's ABA oh now I know how to get home if ABA is doing that I know it's good later on the Nazis wanted to shave his beard he refused to let them shave his beard even though it's that's not a it's not a commandment to have a beard he refused to let them shave his beard with a razor they broke literally almost all of his bones and he did not let them do it later on one of the Nazis wanted to said what's the problem with this guy what what is he goes he doesn't let us shavee his beard said okay what do one with the beard okay so take the what does he want with scissors yeah with scissors he goes okay so just take the scissors and just cut his skin with it too with help from hasem right when they're about to cut his face off somebody came and interrupted and they all left but still he had literally almost broken bones in all of his body he crawled back to his Barrack instead of going to sleep instead of crying to himself to sleep or something he took something from under his bed a little piece of he crawled back grabbed the chair stood up and started going around the chair seven times they asked him what are you doing he's dancing now he just got almost all of his bones broken and he's dancing with a little D says why it's I have to celebrate the Tor he said how is this for the good for the how could it be you almost died your kids you're this how could this be good he says this all happened he goes how could it beash he says bashem I'm part of the murdered and not the murderers I'm part of the murdered people and not the murderers why because the murdered have the murderers they don't even have they don't have anything imagine you've lost touch with Humanity that you take somebody's life what kind of Life do you have you don't have this world you definitely don't have the next World so even this is for the good and he ended up Surviving the Holocaust building a whole entire Empire huge hospital for free in Israel a whole new family I think another seven kids a new wife a huge that until this day he has attending and following and learning the gifts they give their rebbi you know what gifts they give what you think they buy him chairs and houses no you know what gifts they give there rebi Reby this year I'm going to learn 200 50 pages by heart that's the gift that's the gift this year I'm going to learn a thousand Pages by heart that's the gift they give their rebi why because their rebi was KES and he understood the real meaning of life and it had nothing to do with material but when a Jew doesn't have this when a Jew doesn't have tah he has nothing he has nothing and unfortunately he still has the Super he still has the special that gave him and if he's not using it to fulfill the Torah it has to fulfill something and unfortunately sometimes that something is not so good sometimes that something is not so good this is why it's Our obligation to help each and every single one of them you have to help every single one of them religious not religious doesn't matter everybody has to do Chua everybody has to do chuba if he was born F if he's not F if he is from if he's a rabbi if he's a student everybody needs to do chuba for something it's Our obligation to help them because unless you approach them no one else will no one else will because most people don't care or they're too busy or the has them doing stuff and there not enough people doing K there's not enough people trying to get am to get closer and closer to Hashem so if we take it and we take advantage of it we take the Mitzvah and we take advantage of this Mitzvah there's no one better than you in the world you're not only the one that Hashem continues to allow the world to revolve around but you're also the one that's going to bring more of his kids back home now who do you think he's going to treat better the one who brings his kids back home or the one that doesn't really care who do you think he's going to protect more the one who's bringing his kids back home or the one that just taking care of himself selfish these are the things we all have to consider consider why because it's our life you have to do it good yes uh technically anyone that's still alive in this world can do chuba says that a uh a person is only alive as long as he can do Chua as soon as he's not able to do chuva Hashem takes away his life with one exception he writes in one of his letters that a person can lose his right to do chuva by rejecting it meaning that even though let's say for example a person came to the world and AEM decided I'm going to give him 70 years and now he's 35 years old he's halfway there so he has 30 technically 35 years to do chuva technically doesn't chuva doesn't take a minute but point is it's years so Hashem continues to let him live even though he doesn't keep Shabbat even though he steals even though he this even though he that even though she's not modest he lets him live but says there's one exception the exception is when a person rejects rebuke meaning that somebody comes and tells him the truth tells him hasem is real the Torah is real mhe is real it's all IM it you have to do CH more than once once twice three times however the number is in heaven what it's determined the truth arrives at his door and not only he doesn't listen he rejects it he goes against it then says he can lose his right to live even though technically he has 35 years left on his says no more take him early why have to bring him back all new maybe he'll have a better chance it's better for him to come back all brand new than to continue like this cuz the situation is only going to get worse cuz now what is this decision to go against it to go against the now he's on a road that's impossible for him to do cha so it's very very important for a person to love rebuke like said it's very important for a person to understand the rebuke is nothing personal when the Rabbi says he doesn't mean that he wants you to die he just means he wants you to stop sinning so you don't die when the Rabbi says that it's better for a person it's better for a person to literally to not come to this world than to go and attend public school he doesn't mean that he wants your kids to suffer Shalom or something bad to them it means he's trying to get your attention to realize that if you continue letting your kids go to public school they're going to become green so all of the things that the rabbi say it's it's from the toora it's not their own rules and a person needs to take this to heart he needs to take this to Heart and and and do something so whether he's a Jew or he's a that's a good one or bad one we don't know if he's or not you can't say oh he's Amal he's you can't even even the Germans not all of them are Amal some of them are some of them are not but as a matter of fact even the Arabs some of them are Jews some Arabs are actually Jewish because their FA their father is an Arab but their mother is a Jew but there's a Jew in hiding because she thought that Mustafa the boyfriend she had when she was 16 was a nice guy and she married him and then he brought her back to Saudi Arabia then he brought it back to Gaza then he brought it back to where whatever hole he's in and he became the real Mustafa and he started hitting her along with the rest of his uh other 10 wives but the M the poor 16-year-old Jewish girl now has to marry under the uh sharah law where if she speaks the wrong way they'll kill her so what is she gonna do say I'm Jewish no can't say anything but in reality she's a Jew and all the kids that she has are Jews there are many terrorists that are actually Jews believe it or not some of them actually end up coming back to am there's actually one uh famous story there's one famous story that went online has a lot of people have watched it of a guy that hated hated Israel only to realize later on in his life when he was I think maybe 25 years old that he's actually a Jew so we don't know who the is we don't know who is we don't know anything really so we can't just point at somebody and say oh he's this or he's that even if sometimes the person is anti- tor and a liberal Lefty loser we still are obligated to try to help him unless he's anti T in public meaning he's going to the point where he has like a website against AEM and he's one of these people that tries to recruit them to atheism or to Christianity then the that you're not allowed to help him even if he comes but if he's just ignorant fool you have to try to help him and unfortunately most of us are ignorant and most of us are fools and we don't know it so you have to try to help him you have to try to bring him to you have to give him a CD you have to share a lecture with him you have to do something do something if he's in your life if she's in your life there's a reason for it just like the chair you're sitting on has a purpose so does the friend you're friends with on Facebook so does the guy that just started following you on Twitter so does the guy that you see every day on the bus stop you see him for a reason there's a reason why he's there there's a reason why you see them many times is because you could be that opportunity that opening for them to do Chupa anything else yeah somebody shs truth he loses his right to live that person no Shalom no so person that rejects the truth it's not just one time saying I don't feel like hearing it meaning is first of all it's multiple times and second of all it's going against it not just rejecting it 90% of people don't want to be told what to do not you not me not anybody your wife tells you go go get milk no no okay yeah milk okay I'll get milk immed but your immediate reaction you don't want to get nothing you don't want to listen to anybody that's immediate reaction for every person no one likes to listen to anybody so even more so when you tell the person to change their life they don't want to listen to you who are you you just did Chua six months ago you did six years ago what were youu so naturally people are going to reject it that's not what I meant what I meant is is that people going against it not only rejecting it but going against it daa they want to ruin it daa instead of coming to the sh they want to put signs to tell people don't come to the sh such people people that are wicked for no reason now it says in the prophet Isaiah every Jew has a share of the world to come but it also continues and it says all of your nations are righteous meaning the righteous people have a share of the world to come so what happened happens to the share of the world to come of the people that are not righteous the people that are not keeping Shabbat what happens to it there's a share somewhere it's a share it's a spiritual share it's it's somewhere where what happens to it okay so the guy is Not Gonna Keep Shabbat he's not gonna keep he's not gonna be a kosher Jew so he's not going to get this share he's GNA go up there and say I'm sorry do not enter you have a different entrance sorry so what happens to that the say that since we have to do something with the share that share goes to the person that tried to help him do cha so if you try to help somebody do Chua and they don't listen to you you inherit their not only are you not a murderer you just inherited a bigger part of meaning that either way you win either way you win if they don't listen to you they don't want to listen you get their own if they do listen to you you have 3110 for every Jew you get to do CH you get 310 worlds based on the yes 310 so hasem says I have yes yes I have a big reward to give what's this big reward say the reward for people that do what do you get what's how much is this reward 3110 World worlds based on the gatria of yes yes is Sheen is worth 300 is worth 10 310 so if you if he doesn't listen you get one world which is good but you better go 310 it's much better so point is that either way you win for doing kiru either way there's no lose there's no loss you always win also remember the Shalom said said something very important when someone asked him what if people don't want to listen I go I try I he does want to listen he said to them listen imagine you have a roommate and your roommate one day comes home and he's really really upset for no reason and he says to you listen I'm really tired no matter what don't wake me up you don't exactly like the way he's talking to you and you say some things in your heart that maybe you're going to regret later on but you just leave the house once you get downstairs you start smelling smoke you smell fire and you realize the building is on fire you run upstairs and you wake up your friend but the friend told you what don't wake me up now once he wakes up is he and he realizes that he's surrounded by fire and you just saved his life is he upset at you obviously not unless he's insane and suicidal obviously not why because you saved his life he says that is a person without T without T he's sleeping so he's upset at you and he's upset at the world and he's upset he doesn't even know why but once you wake him up and finally after annoying him enough times with the CD and the lecture and the text message and the Facebook and the twwiter Twitter and the email and the pamphlet and the the newsletter and that constantly bringing him to the sh and taking them back and out and you constantly day after day for year after year you constantly annoy him to do Chua when he finally wakes up or you think he's going to hate you no he's going to tell you what somebody told me not too long ago said you saved my life I said how I don't even know you said you saved my life I said how said cuz you're annoying said constantly see your lectures online so annoying I had to watch them now I did sometimes you have to be annoying why because you're trying to save lives you're not trying to be popular I'm not looking for fans I careless if you dislike me I just want you to listen to what has says and that's what you have to look at don't worry about they like you don't like you they going to listen don't you just care about be the messenger yes there are 20 million Jews that we know of in in the world today about six million of them or so live in America pick somebody else there are plenty of easy fish there are plenty of people that are not connected to hem simply because they're ignorant simply because they have no idea that it's an obligation they think it's just a good thing to do but they don't feel like doing it there's plenty of those people go after them the people that are anti the people that are atheist the people that are uh you know have joined Christianity those people leave them to me you take care of of the easier ones why because the hard ones the hard ones even to help them is you're not really necessarily supposed to because they're so difficult sometimes that they've actually LED other people to sin and the r says you're not have to help them even they if they want help but aside from that people like that the only way to truly help them is by destroying them first you have to destroy their ideology first and that requires skill and a lot of and it's simply a waste of time nine out of 10 times most people that are like that are not looking for the truth they're just looking for an excuse there was a guy named Jacob he has a very holy name but he's probably the least holy person on Earth today I met him last time I came to New York and uh somebody told me that he's an atheist he used to be religious he used to be a Yeshiva guy and now he's a this and now he's a that and he has questions and he has question questions so I said okay ask questions bring him to my lecture and the guy was surprised you sure bring him to the lecture I said yeah bring him to if he has questions Torah has answers we're not scared of anybody Torah has answers bring them sure so what's the question if he has a question we have an answer if I don't have an answer I'll get the answer so the guy comes and he sits and at the end of the lecture he came towards the end because he didn't want to listen to the lecture he just wanted to listen to himself and at the end I say do you have any anybody have any questions and he starts asking he asks the first question something about uh Noah's Ark and I provide him a answer that he was surprised that I actually had that he didn't even exists that there's actually evidence actual real black and white evidence that you can see with your own eyes if you want to go to Turkey and climb mountain called and you can see there is the a finding of Noah's Ark apparently he didn't know this because he only looked at comic books for for for for his life instead of Torah so he is too convinced of his own case to look for the truth elsewhere so he was surprised he asked me another question and I answered that one as well the crowd was getting uh very excited about the answers and I saw that the answers are actually making them do chuva even though they didn't ask the question so I asked him you have any more questions and he didn't have any more questions because he was in shock we actually had answers in the tah so said you know what I'll ask the question and I'll give the answer too and I started asking difficult questions why I how do I have these questions because I asked the same thing well he thinks he's the first one to ask questions that's the best thing about every atheist in the world it's the best thing about every guy they always think they're the first one to have this question the rambam didn't ask these questions the raan didn't ask these questions the called means genius by entire generation declared this person is a walking genius no he didn't ask the questions until you came no one thought of these questions it's the most ridiculous arrogant State of Mind in history but the reality is all the questions you have or don't have exist and someone asked someone asked them before so I started asking questions and providing the answers I think that questions and answer session was better than the year itself after that I told him listen if you have more questions you could send me your questions as many as you have as long as you are willing to review the information I send you because you're looking for the truth he said yes I said yes deal I gave my phone number and we parted ways after I got bu home he text me send me followup so I start providing him answers to questions but not answers based on logic answers based on science first video he complained yeah but such and such disagrees with this scientist like he's the only scientist in the world people disagree with every scientist everyone disagrees with until there's a few that agree with this one is no good this one is no good this one is no good and then eventually I started realizing that doesn't matter what I provide him it doesn't matter he's not looking for the truth so I told him you're not really serious so show me what books you have what have you studied maybe I studi them too and I could tell you where the mistakes are so he shows me so I said take a picture of them don't tell me names take a picture of your books so he sends me a picture of his books I I said send me the picture of your best science book you know what's this best science book Bill NY the Science Guy I'm not joking I'll show you the picture Bill Nye the Science Guy who's not a science guy but actually a comedian he's an engineer he's a comedian he that's his best science book so I told him you're not serious you're not looking for the truth if this is this is your science you're basing everything on you're wasting you're wasting your time you're just looking for excuses now his response shocked me why because I expected to say you know what you know maybe I'll double check maybe I'll look at what you send be more objective maybe I'll read some more books have a better case that's what a normal human being would do he didn't do that what did he do he said no you don't know what you're talking about you know I talk to people all day all the time and I've already convinced two people to stop keeping Shabbat he said I already convinced two people that were going to Yesa to stop keeping Shabbat and he's proud of this I said you my friend are mean you are officially someone that every single day is pra every day three times a day for you to die now thank you for helping me have kav oh that's not nice I said what's not nice what's not nice you're in our we're supposed to pray for you to die we pray for you to die for people like you why the fact that you don't believe that's not good but to go out of your way and Destroy n what do you get out of it that means you're pure evil pure evil needs to desist needs to leave the world we pray for you to die he didn't like the response I said don't talk to me anymore I don't want to hear from you until until you do Chua or something but I can't help you cuz you you're a mean you're a person that I can't associate with you're dangerous to society and apparently a few other people that I met along the way know him and he tried to convince them too they came to me but my point is is that you have to understand some people are beyond help and it's not because their questions are so big there's no question in the world we don't have an answer to some people don't want help they want excuse to justify their sins they want an excuse to justify their behavior people like that you stay away from you move on to the easy fish you move on to the normal people that are simply not religious because they don't know anything they're simply not religious because they they didn't grow up that way you go to those people and there's plenty of them that's that's the majority the majority of decent human beings the majority of Jews are decent human beings that have mercy that are good that are generous they're good even if they're secular they're good they just don't know anything get them to know something they're an empty vessel fill it up don't go to the the little ham don't go to those people go to the people that are just simply clueless so here's the thing Unfortunately today we live in a very very weak generation of leadership not just people the leadership unfortunately at some point decided that they want to fight for the nation without helping them how just declare everybody's a every secular person is why because there was three that said that everyone's a if they're secular if they grew up in a secular house and they're mistranslating what they said the LA the K and I believe it was feinste all three said oh yeah the secular people are now they are miss the people that are saying oh so everybody's a they're meaning they're captured child you know in the talks about it or actually too talks about it and it says that in the old days if the go stole a Jewish baby and he grew up he didn't know if he was Jewish he's a captured baby so today though in years ago a little less than 100 years ago these three said oh someone that grew up in a secular house in a Zionist house in a atheist house is the same thing like someone that was captured by the green now didn't mean to keep him that way they just said that's his status now and that is being mistranslated today so first and foremost we should know this number one is a term meaning that if someone is aab on purpose he touches your wine you're not allowed to drink it you have to throw it in the garbage you're not even allowed to sell it but if he's if he's a captured baby he didn't know he was Jewish until now and he didn't know and he doesn't know and so on then you're still allowed to drink it that's it that's all it means it doesn't mean he goes to ganeden because somebody stole him it doesn't mean he goes to ganeden because he uh he didn't know that he supposed to be religious it just means that if he touches your wine you're still allowed to drink it if he says a blessing you're still allowed to say Amen if he says Kad you could say Amen because if he's not then you're not even allowed to say Amen so here it just means that it only affects this world doesn't mean that he's okay and he goes to ganeden no one goes to ganeden without being a sadik without being righteous no one goes to ganed no shows up the Gan is not in the ganed right now even though his father is and his grandfather's abrah ainu and his brother is Jakob is not in ganed so now a person need term means that you could still say am you can still touch the wine and so on that's number one number two let's say if we look at it in a and personify it and put it in a way that you could see and visualize it let's say it really is a captured baby shom if you saw your neighbor's baby captured by somebody else and he was a cage he's in a cage down the street in Harlem and he's in a cage and people have him in a cage and you saw him you going to leave him there he's a little baby can't defend himself you going to leave him there you leave him no he's captured baby going to go up to back your oh yeah I saw your kid today where oh he was captured by by by the guy over there the Muslim guy he put him in a cage it's in a street on 67th what are you going to do you going to tell you why'd you take him out why'd you leave him captured why is he still captured you you saw him take him out do something call the cops do something don't leave him captured that's the problem the people that are constantly arguing no the generation is all captured babies they're all it's all nonsense why even if they are or they aren't you're not allowed to keep them that way meaning you're still obligated to tell him to keep Shabbat you're still obligated to tell him to keep and kosher and everything you're still obligated you can't keep him that way that's that's the second thing next thing one person has a big heart and he said listen if somebody's a talk about him why because the says that according in his book about if somebody is not if he doesn't keep shab doesn't keep basics of he's not considered part of he's not considered part of your people meaning that even if you say about him it's not a sin and is a very big sin but if you say about it's not a sin why he's not considered part of your people he's considered an idol worshiper huh if he knows and doesn't keep what know that no so that's the thing that's the whole argument of the point is is that if he doesn't keep Shabbat if he knows he's a Jew he knows he's a Jew he just doesn't feel like keeping Shabbat you are allowed to say about him until the end of the world why he's not considered a Jew he's considered an idol worshiper unfortunately that's according to the according to the the master of now this that I know nice guy big heart he says yeah listen since the another big says that all the secular people are then we're still not allow to say about them why because they all they all captured babies so we're not allow to say about them so that way we are not to about any secular person and see that's what we do and I said okay I looked at what he said and I said okay you're trying to do but in reality you just created one of the biggest disasters in our generation with that if they listen to you in sh which they probably don't but if they listen to you in sh you just destroyed millions of people how until now the master of is who says what he says if the guy doesn't keep Shabbat you're allowed to say about him but you're say no let's not listen let's listen to the so what happens now now the reality is is that you are going to get however many people listen to you to not talk against secular people so let's say 500 people listen to you or 5,000 people listen to you and 500 actually end up doing it because not everybody does what you say but even if 5,000 do it so 5,000 people are going to stop saying against secular people that so you helped 5,000 people not make a sin good for you here's the problem here's thean here's the disaster what happens what happens is that the reality is unfortunately most people still say the people that are not listening to you and the people that are listening to you are still going to say out of the 20 million Jews three million of them that are religious most of them unfortunately say unfortunately it's part of our day-to-day even thear says it we all guilty of a little bit of now until now the Tora sh said we listen to Who the Master of why he says if the religious guy says about his cousin that is not religious there's no sin why so there's no sin so he goes up to sh and say oh you why you never said yeah but I said no no it doesn't count why because they're all secular it doesn't count but now you made a new you made a new now we can't no now you can't say so now 3 million people that do say now you made all of them guilty so you try to save 5,000 people you made three million guilty why you went against the you tried to be a new so there's no easy way to do CH there's no easy way to get other people to do CH stop looking for excuses to even if he is you're not allowed to leave him that way if he's not stop trying to look for an excuse for him stop you have to get people to do CH it's the only solution listen I have lectures I have a relative who doesn't keep Shabbat he shows up to one of my lectures and when I said the part that Hashem kills the people that don't keep Shabbat M Shabbat gets means either hm kills them or he kills their kids one or the other whichever one comes first that's what happens in sham you know what I did when I said it I was looking at him because I wanted him to get it even though in my heart I'm crying it breaks my heart to think he may die why it's the only way he's going to listen sometimes the hard truth is the only thing that's going to get people to move some people are easier some people you give them a CD the guy does Chua six months later sometimes you get a guy listen you should do the guy does Chua some people eat easy unfortunately not everybody's like that try the easy way doesn't work you have to go hard you have to let them know there's a de there's a the consequence but there's not enough time there's not enough time to just sugarcoat everything and and tiptoe and walk on eggshells and I'm not sure and I can't and enough say the truth Hashem will give you blessing yes pH expi all right whoever you said there's people that claim to be labers Orab that say there's no de of first and foremost before I say anything you should know rule number one they're not kabad they say they're they're notab they say they're they're not they're just fakers that look like it some people wear a costume once a year on puim some people wear a costume all year round so anyone that says that they're but they tell you that there's no there's no reward and Punishment there is no G they're not they're not nothing why because saying that there's no goes against the 13 principles of fi the rambam which the laich made sure that all of his learn and teach says that there are 13 foundational beliefs for Judaism as a whole that if you don't believe them you're considered a you're considered a heretic against the entire Tor one of them is reward and Punishment a Jew that does not believe in reward and punishment is considered 100% a heretic you're not allowed to count them in Manan you're not to marry him you're not allow to say Amen to his prayers he's considered a heretic so anyone that says they laich Orab or whatever thing they say they are but they say such a thing automatically immedately says this guy is just a crazy person maybe just ran out of a mental institution maybe I should call the cops maybe I should call Abel maybe put him in the mental he's not licher he's just a pretend he pretends same thing like the people that pretend the rebi is still alive they pretend whatever they are they're not they're not normal so we can't say this isad kabad is founded on KES unfortunately some people pretend to be and unfortunately those people that pretend be give a really really horrible name to the people to to the rebi that actually wasn't sadik so that's one number two the same people that tell you there's no de in they say no no the T said it that's the proof number two that they're liars and they're also ignorant why because on page 38 of the T the T says that if a person makes a sin he's considered a rash he's considered Wicked but if he sees another person sinning if he sees another person sinning and he doesn't say anything he's even worse because that person's sin goes on him there was no one more strict in the generation of the the n on rebuke and on on M and on De and Punishment No one so what does that mean they didn't quote the Tanya they quoted themselves but they put the T on it they quoted their own opinion said a few students told him listen want to write a book he said listen you could write my and you could put your name on it but don't write your and put my name on it my I don't care if you have your name on it why I know my are good your I'm not so sure so don't put my name on yours sometimes people put the laich's name on their nonsense orad's name on their nonsense or bre's name on their nonsense or whatever other on their nonsense don't believe it always check the always check the source you know how many people told me oh ra said this someone that has an iPhone has no share of the world to come who believes this nonsense if a person has an iPhone and he uses it for sin he doesn't need the theki to tell him he knows it but people say no by default you have a iPhone you have a smartphone you have you losta this is stupidity this is pure stupidity people just make up rules and they put a big Rabbi name on it so always check the source always check it and again always check who's telling you who's providing the source who's providing this information if they follow the 13 principles of Faith then we could move forward if they go against the 13 principles of Faith whatever they say true or not is irrelevant they're not allowed to be count of the Min somebody tells you there's no reward and Punishment you cannot count you cannot even say Amen to [Music] kades it's not physical H it's not physical it's not phal Hashem is nothing physical so how could a Jew have a part of hem that's what I'm saying right you ask that's your question that's what I'm saying okay that's what I'm asking I know I asked the same question you just said it's notal yes so it's not how can we have a so here's the answer question is how can you have a part of hasem have a and Hashem is not physical so even though Hashem is not physical he put a piece of himself in essence the essence of himself I guess you could say into he put something Divine a soul that's not a physical entity but it is a something it's not physical in order for something to be something it doesn't need to be physical we think of physical because we are physical because everything we think about revolves around time and matter we think about food it revolves time and matter we think about marriage time and matter we think about Job time and matter we think about everything we associate with has to have a connection to time and matter Hashem is beyond time and matter so the soul is part of that your soul is above and beyond time and matter simply because your your soul does not require time or matter if your soul leaves the world it joins a different world that does not have any restrictions of time now how could you understand this in a normal way a dream once a person goes to sleep anyone that has ever had a nightmare knows that that nightmare sometimes felt like it was for weeks or months in some cases years but he wakes up and he realizes that he's only been asleep for 10 minutes now how did he feel pain and suffering for weeks or years but in reality he's only been asleep for 10 minutes because the soul is what experienced that and the soul is not bound to time so the soul experienced something that felt like weeks or years or so on but the body is still here and is bound to time so this is one way to understand at least have some type of concept that Hashem allowed us to have in regards to time and and the absence of time now put a piece of himself into a that had all of the original Souls from ad all of the rest of the souls came meaning that each and every single one of us has a piece of that Original Soul when a Jew does chuva the soul that's added to him is magnified along side the the soul that is part of hem himself but if a Jew does not do chuva a Jew that has several tries according to hashem's accounting and continues to ruin all of his opportunities to do Chua eventually that Soul has to be cleaned out and destroyed and eventually the only thing that returns to Hashem is his original peace his original Peace So the point is is that no it's not physical but it doesn't have to be doesn't have to be physical in order for it to exist um as far as understanding all of the intricate details of how a soul works and how does somebody that has let's say for example a uh a dream or sometimes a near-death experience and they could feel their soul coming out of their body and they could feel like they're floating and flying and they see things in different places many times people have died and their soul came out of their body and they came back to life and they would tell people listen I was just flying over the hospital I saw that there's an accident you know three highways down I saw there's a pair of sneakers on a roof I saw that the nurse over there was uh eating lunch and they check this information they see it's all true how because the soul left the body so the soul again is not bound to time or space but it's very difficult for us to understand it completely actually it's impossible for us to understand it completely so long as we're still within our physicality our human body so there's examples but it's not not 100% let me answer new questions behind you yes no I mean it depends it depends right it depends on the sin depends how many times they made a sin it depends the magnitude of the sin the uh chuva for a thing is not just stopping sin it's also regretting the sin it's getting to a point where you're disgusted with the sin to a lot of people ask how do I know if I'm doing chuba chuba first starts with stop sinning whatever the sin is second step is is to make sure that you are regretting the sin you regret the fact that you did it not that you stop it you regret it oh I can't believe I did this I did that eventually you're supposed to get to a point of being disgusted by it being disgusted with your old version your old version of yourself even though the day you did it you felt pleasure after you've done Chua and you've done real chuva and you've learned a lot about the sin you want to get to a point where you've actually become come disgusted by it and that actually helps you facilitate doing chuva for other things you build on top of that Chua to do other things so until you've done Chua to the point of being disgusted by it you still have to continue because as long as you are not disgusted by the sin number one most likely you're still attracted to the sin and you may fall for it again uh number two even more so is that if you don't regret it and you're not disgusted by it then the real it is is that it's not full regret you're still like it's still part of you it's still part of you so you want to get to a point where you build and you build and you build and you get to a point where you're disgusted by the sin sometimes it takes a while sometimes it takes less time depends on you depends how serious you are but either way it also depends on the size of the sin if you made a sin one time it's much easier to do cha if you made a sin 50,000 times doing chuva one time is not going to cut it why because you stole $50,000 from 50,000 different people people you can't do cha by just giving one guy the money back you have to give back to all 50,000 if you uh violated chabat um you violated Shabbat for 10 years if you start keeping Shabbat that doesn't fix it by itself why because okay you're keeping Shabbat you stop sinning but you still have a missing balance of 10 years worth of Shabbat so how do you how do you fix that deficit you get other people to keep Shabbat once you get other people to keep Shabbat every time they keep Shabbat it's like you're keeping an extra Shabbat so that makes up for that deficit that you have so yes you're fixing the first part of the sin by you keeping Shabbat but the stuff that you missed out on that you can't technically do because there's not you can only keep one Shabbat at a time yourself you get other people to do that's where kiru comes in all those things are all good they're all supposed to help you do Chua uh by themselves they're not enough they're supposed to be part of chuba are they necessary some yes some no depends on the T you have to ask me on specific T like for example for wasting seed there are several things that are necessary first one obviously stop sinning second one learn on the subject third is you know some people uh it helps them to do with a of the that he reads but the biggest and most important part is to get other people to stop that's the biggest part meaning that if you do the first few it's good it's just not enough if you do some people they're focus on and they say they every day 500 times a day good it's not enough why because you still have to make up for a deficit a deficit balance that you have from the past so but in general there are t one of the other big for wasting seed is alsoa to give to give money specifically for that reason so some people that want to expert at their T they give a specific and you have to uh go to certain that know specific prayers you can give the staka for anything you give it for K you can give it for Torah you have to give it for something meaningful uh and there's specific prayers that the AR put together that should be part of the tun but this is usually the latter part of the tun it's not usually the beginning uh but you could do it anytime you want the point I'm trying to say is that if a person is still not disgusted by the sin he's still not even at chapter one so most people should start for example for the big I think in my opinion the biggest sin of the generation which is wasting seed um for that sin the first thing that people should do aside from stop obviously is get other people to stop once you get other people to stop then you'll have the strength to do some of the other things that are that are necessary but if you just focus on saying most likely you won't even stop yourself because it's just simply not enough yeah sure wasting seed in general wasting seed can be done in a few different ways the most common way is when a when a male waste seed by himself when he's by himself and instead of having a wife he has a bathroom to be more specific second way is when a person acts like er the sons of yud and he has a wife but he doesn't want to get a pregnant so he uses a condom or he ejaculates outside of the area that he's supposed to that is wasting seed that's second that's the second thing uh third thing is they use they use uh birth control pills when they're not allowed they don't have ainal permission to use birth control pills it's also a form of you have to give rical permission not everybody's allowed to be on birth control you're not allowed to be on birth control just because you feel like it just because you feel like you can't afford a baby that is never a permissible reason to be on birth control also you're never as a male as a Jewish male even as a non-jewish actually you're never ever allowed to wear a condom ever why because this is immediately destroying any possibility of the uh baby ever coming out of the actual semen ever turning out and yes you could say there's only 99% % bottom line is speaking you're not allowed so wasting seed happens in multiple ways either a person uh uses their sperm in the wrong place or it's a wasted in general by themselves or with somebody the point being AB is that everyone understands that there's only one way to have a baby if you're doing anything else you're wasting seed if there's only one way way to have a baby all humans doesn't matter if you're Muslim or you're a Jew or you're Lish or you're kidish or you're buaran or your Safari or if you're trip it'll make a difference where your background is it doesn't even matter if you're an animal or a male or a human being it's one way to have a baby if the seed goes anywhere else you have a problem the problem the calls the biggest sin in Judaism now what does it mean there's a few things that's called the biggest sin in Judaism Shabbat is called the biggest sin in Judaism M wasting seed is called the biggest sin in Judaism is called the biggest sin in Judaism what does it mean biggest sin in Judaism does it really mean the biggest what it means is that even if you found a way to fulfill all of the mitv for example you found a loophole to keep many many mitv but you still waste seed on purpose you know you're not allowed but you still do it even if you're married or not married doesn't make a difference you was your go into a garbage pil every single one of your goes to the and unfortunately that person still goes to G permanently these are few main things that the Tora says the says there are three major sins that if you do them suffering is eternal it's permanent there's no there's no turning back meaning it's time to do chuva don't play around with fire one of them is shab meaning you know you have to keep Shabbat but you still drive on Shabbat whether it's to theet or to the bar is irrelevant you drive on Shabbat you have a problem number two if you waste seed if you waste seed on purpose these are things that are very very serious people think it's not a big deal I have a lot of religious kids coming to me at 25 years old they've gone to the entire Yeshiva system they never knew they're not allowed to waste seed until they watch my sh this is the biggest sin in our generation because the Z says the Satan will sometimes let a person literally help him fulfill all of the other mitv so you can destroy him with the wasting seed why because then all of the go to the Satan that's what it's called the biggest sin in Judaism biggest sin in Judaism means that it literally destroys all the good you do so a person needs to know when someone says with a source like I'm providing you or wasting seed or or these are the biggest sins it's not a joke it's not a figure of speech it means that even if you do a lot of other good things good for you it's not good enough good for you hope you enjoy it it's just not good enough you have to fix yourself and I know it's hard and I know it's addictive I'm a guy too I understand it's extremely difficult difficult but if I could do chuva anybody could do CH the donkey could do chuva the horse can do chuva everybody could do chuva why I did chuva I wasn't a murderer I wasn't a rapist I wasn't some guy that was a Nazi but I didn't follow the Torah you don't follow the Torah you make your own rules you do a lot of stupid things the reality is where I thought I was in my life is a better situation is a worse situation than most people that I know why I thought I was perfectly fine living in inter marriage living in a lifestyle that excluded AEM whenever I felt like it and included whenever I felt like it I made my own rules most people usually have like one issue two issues three issues I had a bunch of them the reality is if I could do cha anyone can and that's the key that's what you have to understand I know it's difficult there's no question that it's difficult but you have to do it once you understand understand that it's literally everything is on the line for this then the price changes then you're like okay I know it's difficult but I have to find a way I have to find a way to to get to ganeden how I have to stop so you have to find a way to stop you fa if you failed on purpose or you failed accidental accidental do cha cha again do cha again I'm sorry a it happen and so on and so forth says don't look at immodesty in the morning so evil does not come to you at night why because if you look at girls during the day that areest that are not your wife even if they are modest and they're not your wife then evil will come to you at night meaning evil evil meaning car meaning wasting seed when you're sleeping so even though wasting seed when you're sleeping is not as big of a sin as wasting seed when you're awake and you're undoing it on purpose it's still nonetheless a sin why is it a sin because it's still your fault why is it your fault because you looked at girls that are not your wife but if you train yourself to look in the floor or your wife the floor or theph t the floor or the rabbi the floor or the if you train yourself that way you're not going to have a problem at night in initially it's hard initially you still have a problem and it doesn't go away right away you destroyed your body for 30 years it's not going to fix itself in a week sometimes it's simply your body got used to it but over time if you continue learning continue doing eventually it'll stop yes [Music] how you that's right in order for a person to rebuke a woman he has to first and foremost understand she's not a man meaning that her yet is very different than than his now if he's our husband he has to tread very carefully when it comes to rebuke because his rebuke can sometimes destroy marriage so most of the time for people that are very close to you it's better better that you get somebody else to do it meaning the rabbi or the sh or the CD you get somebody else if you want your wife to do cha for a modesty join her to a lecture that you're going to watch with her and sit down with her and learn about modesty together try to support her mentally physically in every way possible to become modest buy her new clothes and all the clothes you're buying her is modest borrow money if you have to buy her a whole new wardrobe every woman likes a new wardrobe tell her I'm going to buy a whole new wardrobe okay fine but it has to be my uh my pick has to be my clothes once she knows new wardrobe she'll go for it why why not spend money if you have to beg and plead if you have to if she Lov you she'll do it now if she's not your wife if she's simply if she's your sister she your cousin she's a colleague then it's a little more difficult why it's not your it's she'll feel that you are crossing the line because why you looking at me that way if you don't like it don't look if it this it should always take it the wrong way so again same principle used here unless you have a very close relationship with this person where you have a comfortable enough that you can speak truth to each other the best thing to do is bring her to a lecture or send her a lecture that talks about modesty why she's much more likely to listen to me a stranger than to listen to you someone she knows because she's not embarrassed in front of me she doesn't know me but she is embarrassed in front of you so you have to be smart you have to use your intellect and you also have to know the time the T says You must rebuke your brother but don't come to sin what does it mean don't come to sin meaning use your brain and know when's the time and place to rebuke somebody if let's say for example you are at a gathering and uh you know half the women over there are IM and your friend or your girlfriend or whoever comes IM matter to go yell at her and embarrass her in public is not exactly going to help her do Chua what do you have to do pretend like you're sick pretend that you need help leave the place with them and go and leave and then try to start the conversation when it's one on one and not in front of 300 people and you're embarrassing them so you have to use your wisdom and you also have to put yourself in their place how would you feel if somebody told you what they're telling what you're saying and again remember a woman is not a man you can't talk to a woman like a man some guys talk to their wives like their buddies your your wife is not your buddy she's your wife a woman is a woman you cannot talk to a woman the way you talk to a guy you can't give them high five you can't give them a a pound you can't give them a hug that's not the way it works you can't talk to them like a rough guy that's not the way you talk to women women you have to tread carefully you have to make sure you realize that they are literally if they if you could draw a woman in a kosher way she would just be the shape of a heart that's it there's nothing else to a woman she's 100% heart if you touch that heart in a bad way it doesn't matter what you say all of it is canel all of it is deleted so you have to be careful yes [Music] acal Evil Woman again like I said people like that you again talks talks to people about people like that that they are he calls them snakes and uh reality is that you should go for easier fish you should go for normal people don't go after liberal lefties that are anti Tor talk you ref I'm talking to aggressive women that uh you know they're feminists and women rights don't bother with those people what if you'll eventually like what you come AC come truth you can't 100% that's what I try to do all the time but the thing is though is that you have to pick your battles you have to pick your battles and you have to know rule number one of rebuke is if it's coming from anger it's a sin if it's coming from ego it's a sin it's not a Mitzvah even if you tell them keep Shabbat but you're seeing it yelling and screaming and throwing rocks at people it's a sin it's not a Mitzvah but if it's coming from love where you're saying to them listen I want you to keep Shabbat because it's good for you I want you to keep Shabbat because I don't want to go to your funeral I want you to keep Shabbat cuz I love you because you're my brother you're my sister you're my this you're my that if it's coming from Love and not from me ego then you're doing something right but if your rebuke is coming from a place of ego I know you don't know I'm good and you're not good I'm mhe and you're a k then then it's not rebuked then it's just you trying to push your way around as if you're a genius you're the best and let not rebuke so that's the thing you have to you have to be truthful with yourself not just truthful with other people first be truthful with yourself where why are you rebuking are you rebuking because you want to tell people what to do are you rebuking because you care if you care whatever will come out of your mouth will work if you don't care nothing that will come out of your mouth will work nothing why you have no and that's why a lot of people say no no we there's no one actually there's a um say oh there's no one out there in a generation to rebuke and people mistranslate to make it seem as if you're not allowed to rebuke anymore like we cancel the mitvah no what it means means is that this actual statement is a rebuke to the rebers letting them know that if you're going to rebuke make sure you start with yourself don't tell people to keep Shabbat if you're driving on Shabbat in front of them hey guys you really should keep Shabbat and you're driving don't be one of these people if you're going to rebuke make sure you rebuke yourself first talk to people about things that you're doing don't talk to people about something that you're not doing if if you're the cheapest guy in the street don't tell people give first work on yourself and that's the key that's the reality make sure it's coming from a good place if it's coming from ego you've already failed yes 84 times yeah so the Chad ARA writes about wasting seed he wrote a list of things list of fast you would do for every single sin so for example for wasting seed every time you wasted seed you have to fast 84 times in his generation people were much stronger physically than we are today and they were able to fast 84 times they would do twice a week over a period of a uh many weeks they would do five times a week some people were big uh they were able to fast for several days in a row today we don't have that strength today even if you tell people to fast for yum Kip they already start uh trying to figure out is there another way I'm a little sick I'm a little sick and I am i p from Y is this one of the real fast or this like the 50-50 fast so what how do you do Chua without fasting the replacement for it explained is replacing each fast with the cost of a meal giving the cost of a meal as for the purpose of Torah so if the cost of a meal is let's say $5 doesn't have to be a steakhouse meal in New York for just the steak itself is 100 bucks I'm talking about a meal for somebody to just simply eat a sandwich be sa Che it's five bucks let's say $10 you can say but it should be let's say five $ $5 times the 84 fast it's $420 that's for each time a person wasted seed which means that a person needs to make it if he has a lot of money then start writing big checks write $42,000 it'll solve a lot of problems if you don't have a lot of money then start Gathering Together $420 give gather $420 give however long it takes you a week a month a year whatever it takes you gather 420 bucks give and don't say oh yeah but I'm never going to I was 16 years old and I understand little Teenagers by the time they finish a week they destroy the civilization I get it but that's not you're not obligated to fix everything in the world you're obligated to try you're obligated to try so you do the best you can you gather 420 bucks you fix one time if Hashem gives you a lot of P then you can do 840 bucks if hasem gives you even more you can do 1,200 and so on and so forth but the best thing to to do is to use that money to help other people stop how by supporting lectures like this that are going to help 10 20 30 50 a thousand people stop the sin why because now instead of Chua for one thing you've done Chua for a thousand times because if each person does Chua for this every time he would have done it it goes to your account that you've done Chua for it so that's why you use that money wisely and the point is is that that part of the uh of the Chua is usually the most difficult for people because people like their money more than their own life so that's why I say first stop second do k k can be done for free third is give the money I haven't mentioned the money yet because I don't want anyone to think that I'm here for money number one and number two is because this is usually the hard part that only the real serious people do only the real serious people do that already did the first two steps but people that haven't done the first two steps don't ever get to step number three because step number three is very expensive because unfortunately guys that don't grow up with unfortunately just they're teenage years is a mass murder of of a human population so we have to do a lot of 420 bucks which means you have to make it part of your monthly every month another 400 every month another 400 every week another 400 whatever you can why it's the only way it's the only way go up to shamine clean now what happens if you die before you fixed every single thing you did everything you can did everything you can you'll be judged accordingly you'll be judged accordingly there was one time a guy that stole from his customers he had a uh toilet paper company and he went to Rabbi and he saw a lecture and the rabbi said that uh if you steal you have to come back in a Gil you have to come back reincarnate so he came to the rabbi and he said listen for the I stole from my customers already for the last 10 years it was how do you steal he said well we advertise like industry standard that every roll is 100 feet but in reality no one actually counts so I started lowering it to 95 see if anyone noticed after I realized no one noticed I lower it to 90 and no one noticed then I lowered it to like 75 and I started some people was complaining oh something's wrong I increased it to 85 and 85 has been the level I've been at already for 10 years so for 10 years I've been stealing 15 ft per Row from every one of my customers now according to you I have to return this money the problem is if I call my customer I tell them listen I missed the customer I've been stealing from you from 10 years number one they're all going to sue me so I'm going to go bankrupt and now you're going to be able to pay them back anyway number two they're going to stop doing business with me so I can't even pay them back even if I want to so what do I do so the rabbi was had help from gave a good answer he said listen just like you stole and they didn't realize give without them realizing can you make enough money by giving them extra he goes how instead of giving them 85 and instead of even giving them the 100 that they're buying give them 115 so that way each time you're making up for an old one he said yeah actually there's enough profit in the toilet paper business that I can do both I can give him 115 okay do that the guy started doing it hem would have it hem when someone wants to do cha Hashem likes it likes it a lot about six months later it's a famous story happened in New York I think maybe 30 years ago six uh six months later breaking news breaking news what's breaking news investigative journalist did resear search into the toilet paper business and ladies and gentlemen we've researched all these companies and this company that company and they list 10 different companies every single one of them advertises 100 feet per roll we actually looked at every role this one is selling 100 but in reality they're selling they're advertising 100 but in reality they're selling 70 this one 60 this one 82 this one 91 this one no one is selling 100 except this one company well right here ladies and gentlemen well right here outside of this guy's office we're going to talk to him right now and ask him how come he's giving 115 why is he giving so much extra to his customers so the guy comes out he sees on TV yes sir can you explain yourself why do you give 115 feet everyone else doesn't even give 100 oh you know I love my customers he says you time I've been stealing from them for 10 years oh I love my customers and you know what happened the guy's business boomed all of a sudden everybody gave he ended up succeeding why he Sanctified hm's name in secret he did a Kem in secret hasem says I'll do K in big why because you want to do CH so the point is don't ever be discouraged that you made too many sins if you're still alive you can still do chba the point is to take it seriously I heard this story actually originally from RAB yeah very good story and a very real story it's an article about 30 years ago came out point of is that anyone that ever wanted to do CH has an opportunity hasem wants your Chua he's yearning for Chua he wanted your cha already 3,000 years ago but we keep going wrong wrong wrong wrong it's time to go right is a time for us to go right Al is a time for us to do chba this year will give us all enough strength to do full Chua to arrive at R clean of our past and ready for our future amen amen [Music] [Applause] [Music] n [Music]
