Shalom and welcome to practical
spirituality today we're going to
discuss what is going on with all these
people who are learning Tura uh and not
making a living being this like massive
weight on the um on both private
individuals because the observant
Community today sees it as their duty to
support these things obviously not
everyone agrees with it and they don't
give that much but there's plenty of
people who do and give a lot
there's uh and it falls on the on the
government you know either it falls on
the US government for those doing this
in the US England everyone's on this
system and uh Israel also there's a lot
of government money that's going for the
those who are
learning uh Torah fulltime and stuff
like that so so the first thing to know
is that it does go against our sages
goes against our sages all the way up to
the ROM bomb and how go against Sages oh
it goes against sages in that um for
example in pavos it says that anyone
whose Torah doesn't come with work then
the Torah in the end will be like
nothing and it several times it
mentioned it and throughout everyone
worked all the sages worked they were
Sho makers they were this they were they
were R Papa Was a beer salesman he's my
favorite yeah he sold
beer and in the paic world most most
most people work yeah World lot of good
got a lot of workers in theic world but
one sec let me just develop it and then
we'll see so what happened was there was
something called the hcal and the hcal
is called the enlightenment movement in
English and what happened then it was
right after the Industrial Revolution
where mankind people in Europe mankind
Wasn't Man people in Europe beca like
developed like
mechanization which became like the
modernization and suddenly you know
people weren't toiling the way they used
to with all that mechanization
um it began also the Scientific
Revolution all of a sudden people
started understanding much more about
the world and Science and stuff and
don't forget that Jews find Jews see
science as the proof of the efficacy of
God Gentiles saw God as whatever you
couldn't answer in science so if you
start answering it in science then
there's no God eventually CU what is God
God's whatever you don't understand for
Gentiles to us
meaning so the more science the Gentiles
understand the less God there is because
God is what you use for whatever you
don't understand whereas the Jews we
always saw science as just showing how
incredibly efficient and per perfect God
is and how perfect his creation goes I
mean we we have a blessing over the sun
because every 27 years it winds up in
the exact same spot that it was during
the six days of creation
on literally we know the where it was
and and it's going to return there every
27th year and we have a special blessing
which I'm sure is it's got to be coming
soon it's got to be the next year or
two
uh six six seven years I remember when I
was around eight years old eight years
old I'm so excited for it cuz cuz last
time was such a disappointment oh my
gosh way I was the wrong place I was
with a bunch of nervous neighbors of
mine here and they were all like and
instead of us doing it together and like
making something beautiful out of it
every was just like oh there's the you
know and it like like I wound up leading
like a minion of of old
women you know because they were all
like kind of following the men out
and everyone got together to do it it's
probably beautiful right it was a
right right it should be an
unforgettable moment for me it was me
and everyone else was a total
disappointment what's supposed to happen
supposed to happen when place you just
make a blessing like the moon goes back
to its place every month we make a
blessing huh what is it just the Sun
comes back to its original position from
the beginning of creation like we
make we we bless we do Kish we
do sanctify the Sun by the way that's
that's a proof that the sun revolves
around the
earth as opposed to the Earth revolving
around the Sun is it are do you also
believe there's a flat Earth as well
you're not that far
no spoke about
that explain it according to
relativity uh I I'm I'm
um one second I just want to say about
the enlightenment so the enlightenment
came and what happened was Europe got
out from under the thumb of the church
Europe left the pressure and and uh and
coercion of Christian Europe and it
began the beginning of secular people
secular you know Gentiles but
unfortunately it uh caught on very
quickly in the Jewish world Jews are
like who knows why exactly but Jews kind
of jumped onto the enlightenment
movement and saw it as a ticket out of
ghetto out of the ghetto ticket out of
the ghetto it's like joining the NBA you
know you get your ticket out of the
ghetto it was um it was also Jews
suffered a lot and like if you had a
chance to like live not as a Jew because
all there was was Christians and Jews
what are you going to do become a
Christian I mean obviously not so all
you had left was be a Jew and then deal
with all the persecution and deal with
all the guilt and all the whatever you
know if you're not a if you weren't
considered a good Jew and uh but all of
a sudden there was a third choice and
that third choice was be secular you
could actually be secular when you guys
all grew up that secular was like one of
the options right to be a secular Jew
that was an option it was never an
option before it became an option at the
Enlightenment and what happened was
those who were observant doubled down
people the Jews that were observant
doubled down doubled down doubled down
on
observance and that's where the black
hattitude movement began with all of
Shalom welcome so that's when the
movement D began and it doubled down on
what is called today you know the
movement which is which is a much more
intense if not
stricter um rendition of Judaism so then
then what what it's more stricter than
then the chill Jew when it was just Jews
and Christians in Europe Jews and
Christians in Europe Jews were
like you
know there was no you
understand the the demonst a Jew and a
Christian I shouldn't say this on
YouTube I'm not going to say I was I'm
not going to compare it to something but
let's just say it's a it's a far cry
being a Jew is a far cry from being a a
you know a toothless a toothless
ignoramus Christian in in you know
completely illiterate completely
illiterate uh chrisan you say back then
back then throughout history throughout
for 17
years you know it was like it was like
it was like apples and oranges you don't
confuse them you know but all of a
sudden when you have Jews being
secular all of a sudden things we got to
draw a line in the sand now we got to
like
properly uh what's the word declare not
declare
de divide well divide but there's a
fancier word where're like
dis
distinguish yeah which was also not the
word but I was looking for but
distinguish better than all the others
we tried certainly better than
disintegrate but we have to we have to
distinguish ourselves as Jews from these
other ones who are calling themselves
Jews this is why for example this is why
you never hear you never hear us say
Orthodox like we never say Orthodox like
we hate that word
orthodox observant Jews are not I mean
today Jews don't know what the hell
they're doing so they'll use the word
orthodox but the word orthodox was an
absolute insult to the observant Jews do
you know where it comes
from no it came from the um came from
the secular Jews from the musculin
because what did they say they said
because the word orthodox means strict
so they were pointing at us saying oh
they're also Jewish meaning here they
are totally interacting with government
now and Banking and like they're like
they're like totally part of the Gentile
world as Jews you know they stayed
Jewish still Mar Jews and then they yeah
they took it from us until they started
intermar yeah well even when they're
intermarried because the reformed Jews
allowed to be Jewish and
intermarried yeah the wife can go
through some you know Benet Bingo
conversion you know after the bingo game
at synagogue and B Bingo yeah she gets
her B Bingo conversion she's not Jewish
what just cuz she got Bingo conversion
woman wouldn't know how to keep shavas
they her life depended on it and and so
so what do they do but they're but is
the beauty and by the way if you're
reform watching this I mean there's no
reform if you're 98 years old and you're
reform watching this so then you should
know I have nothing against you I'm they
were proud Jews so then but how are they
supposed to answer for all the black
attitude people all the people in the
black hats and all the keeping shabas
and losing their job every shabas during
the Depression and how do you account
for those people oh simple you call them
the strict ones they're Orthodox so when
someone asks you what's with all these
weirdos you say oh those guys they're
also
Jewish they're also Jewish all those
observant all those observant they're
also Jewish they're the
Orthodox they're the Orthodox but
meanwhile I mean do I seem very
strict I'm like the least strict person
you'll ever meet you know you guys by
the way everyone in this room is
stricter than I am you're all stricter
than
I'm like uh you know if if the doesn't
say it I ain't doing it you know you
guys are probably strict about all kinds
of things I'm I I didn't I don't think I
wore a shirt for 12 years you know
growing up surfing in California I
thought Maring a Jew was racist you
know I thought having kids was
irresponsible like uh
environmentally like there there's not a
strict bone in my body I'm like I'm the
one thing I am a little strict about the
is that my that my electric mountain
bike battery is full before I go out on
a ride and I'm very strict about that
I'm I'm really strict about my
my protective gear and I'm also strict
about my um that my water packs full
when I go out riding um other than that
that's that oh I'm very strict about
craft beer craft bear and I actually
have to reload I've I've run out of my
at least my my American my American uh
variety so I got to reload on those
what anyway um so that's where the word
orthodox comes from now now check this
out ready for this before the
enlightenment there was no such thing as
the Yeshiva and when I say before the
enlightenment there's no suching Yesa I
mean never before as we know it today
yeah there was no such thing as a yiva
when you were 12 years old every single
12-year-old of the entire Community was
taught a trade by 13 by your Mitzvah you
were now working in that trade by 14
you're probably
married the uh 12 girls were married and
you worked in that trade that was like
there there was no welfare there was no
social security there was no none of
that stuff didn't exist you worked your
parents couldn't afford you
otherwise and and so you were there was
no Yeshiva nor was there ever Yeshiva so
people say what about the yeshivas in
Babylonia the you know
Pumbaa you know
marova you couldn't get in the door of
that place there were bouncers you were
bouncers was it hillow that froze on the
roof was it hillo like who couldn't get
in who couldn't get into the Bas
Min what no it was Hill
I gu when he was young couldn't get in
like you couldn't get in and and by the
way if a community did have someone who
studied to her after the age of 12 it
was because he was a certified genius
and what Happ with a certified genius is
you take him you grab him by his collar
you walk him to the rabbi of the
community and he sits with the rabbi of
the community every day until eventually
some rich guy who lives like 400 miles
away who has an aging Rabbi of that town
who's about to die
and the rich guy of that town takes that
guy takes this young man and marries his
daughter off to this young budding Rabbi
the one kid of 100,000 people in a town
you know and we all and by the way you
know I'm not making this up because we
saw this 70 years ago when the sparing
came on operation Magic Carpet they came
from all these faric towns to the land
of Israel 1949 operation Magikarp
and all of a sudden all these far him
come flying into Israel into the land
and guess what they didn't know they
didn't know any Torah they just knew
that God's Great and shab shabat Shalom
hey shabat Shalom and when we're
bringing them back in the land they
didn't have any black hats long black
coats or anything like that they wore
whatever they had they had P they had P
keas they were
great yeah and they came they knew how
to live Jewish life they were from they
came into the land of Israel they're
like with tambourines like the Lord is
bringing us back into the land yeah and
uh and
meanwhile the people with black the
blackhe Hat ashkenazim who were already
here since the
1800s and because the the real Aliyah
came from the t v and the T Bal so wait
a second the V
Bal not until theca not until the they
were before thec they were 300 years ago
Escola was 200 years
ago B didn't learn in
the these were the greats the greats
always said learned the great yeah there
was no Yeshiva and by the way the
rejected the Yeshiva idea but let's not
we're not quite there when we'll get
there in a sec when the span came to the
land of Israel they came where it was
like for every 50,000 farim there was a
rabbi something like that was the ratio
and they come in they see all the people
with black hats in the middle of the
summer they're like they spitzing and
they're like what the hell is with these
guys they're all in the same outfit and
the were like meaning the were like
you'll understand you you're going to
figure this out pretty soon the masim
which is the state of Israel the state
of Israel was founded by the anti- Torah
community that we've been discussing
calling the Torah guys Orthodox they
looked at the farim and they're like
we're going to we're going to eat these
people alive they're are they're are
they're going to be our breakfast
meaning we're going to take them into
secular society like that why because
they don't know how to deal with us see
the herim already had when the state of
Israel was formed the herim had 150
years of dealing with musilim they had
150 years how to deal with these
characters
so they already knew exactly how to what
what outfits to wear how we keep our
laws and minhagim and everything we
built
yeshivas and that every boy now at 13 is
in Yeshiva for several years at a huge
expense now what I want you to get
already is that the second a 13-year-old
goes to Yesa which I I don't think
anyone in this room says that a
13-year-old should be working we all
agree that that would be good that a
13-year-old goes learns Torah at least
till he's 18 give him a couple years
learning right guess what the second you
do that that is a major weight on the
society why do you think they were
working at 13 because the society
couldn't float them Society couldn't
float those kids and so so so we all
agree that they should be doing what the
kid at 13 should learn to but what you
saying but today secular people they go
to high school at the age of oh yeah
sure the whole that's what saying why
the more more of a weight than the than
the secular they're all the weight
they're all the weight and and we just
the secular get supported by the state
and the don't get supported by the state
seculars are
learning skills that will eventually
help while they're learning they're
going to help they're just as heavy of
the weight yeah the same we same we but
they are an investment the SEC secular
governments do not see as an
investment for their society I don't
think it's I don't think you learn
anything in
school that's true that's and secular
yeah what do you mean you learn gender
studies I like that thought I like that
thought as well but at the end of day
doctors and and and people that's not
built on yeah but they can't do with
that high school they can't they can't
they they
they they don't want they don't want to
do with that anyway
anyway
this guys the reason the reason I'm I'm
the reason I'm not going guys the reason
I'm not going full discussion mode I
keep reeling it back in isn't just
because I'm being a good moderator it's
because there's only one microphone and
it can't pick up anything you're saying
so we're completely I'm I'm not I'm
letting it ride but we're like losing
the crowd every time we have these
discussions we're enjoying the
discussions the problem is is that they
don't show up on the mic I shouldn't to
use the mic today because I see this is
this is bringing up a lot of discussion
anyway but we're almost there the um so
so what happened was the the secular
government was absolutely right they ate
those spartic communities up alive they
ate them up alive so when you see
secular spartic people walking around
Israel which is like most of them you're
you're uh you the reason they're not
fully observant is because they they
came to a secular state with no
muscles right with no muscles for how do
you deal with ashkenazic atheism how do
you deal with ashkenazic atheism because
ashkenazic atheism ashkenazic atheism is
rough you know they very high IQ
ashkenazic
atheism European atheism and they had no
way to no way to deal with that and and
you know there of course immediately got
televisions like who doesn't want a
television you know and once you have a
television so then this in in those days
it was all state-run television it just
they just pip piped in all their values
which are the opposite of Torah values
take any of their values and go to the
polar opposite and you'll find the Torah
you understand it's the polar opposite
of Torah
values
what in the army in the Army you and
your arm you don't stop with the Army
because that's the the Army is the main
like yeah but the schools are even more
powerful for little kids in a secular
school they're finished they're finished
they finished before they W before they
get the Army the Army is is a graduation
school anyway the um long story short is
if you look at sparing today that are
observant most of them are in black hats
and black codes meaning they learned
from the they learned from the ashaz
that you got to draw a line in the sand
here if because we're all Jewish we're
all Jewish this isn't Christians and
Jews and you know
toothless illiterate Christians named
named you know Serge or uh or Boris you
know this is uh these are very literate
Jews very highq people who are
who have gone who they've taken
Gentile uh culture and put it to like
the next level you know and all on the
basis of atheism
so so the bottom line is is that with
that with the enlightenment movement and
the ensuing her reaction to that
movement the weight of all the weight of
keeping Torah landed on society every
aspect from private sector to public
sector the weight of keeping the Torah
alive fell on
society now no one took this more
seriously than than the um than the
yales which who founded Jerusalem and
they literally like their society is set
up where you don't work like workings
considered like if you work you're like
not quite on the level you know
and which is very
strange but in America in the K
societies working is considered
honorable and learning full-time is
considered good you know but here the
guy who learns full-time is the Spitz
how do you say Spitz the Pinnacle he's
the Pinnacle of society in America the
guy who drives a Lincoln Navigator is
the Pinnacle of society and the guy who
learns whole time is trying not to get
splashed
from the puddles when the Navigator
Drives
By and I always tell the the guys who
learn full-time in America who are
already in their 30s 40s and I look at
them and I see they're like they're such
losers at this point and I'm not talking
about the ones who are like really halga
like beautiful shining lights of Torah
I'm talking about just guys who wound up
in that situation because who know their
their Rich father-in-law and they just
wound up you know being the trophy of
their father-in-law who made makes all
the money I always tell those guys like
move to Israel grab your wife grab your
kids go to Israel where you are the
Range Rover driver meaning where you're
the P you should be the Pinnacle of
society not the not the the guy like
trying to get not get
splashed while the Range Rover Drives By
go to Israel where you are honored and
what are you doing out here I can't move
to Israel my father will kill
me and I'm like
bro just move to Israel let your
father-in-law kill you yeah and so how
many think how many guys do you think I
got already here one none thousand none
none oh yeah they they they Mak is very
thick in America the plague of darkness
is very thick in America and you see
like even you guys you guys are all
English
speakers um I would say maybe with the
exception of of this man because you've
been here how many years now 46 46 years
in Israel you're you're outside of that
I was always outside of it but but if
you think about it you guys love the mud
you love the mud like you still daydream
about
maybe life an American The Good Life you
still dream about the mud and all those
people over there in Raad what I call
I call that from the University where
married people live it's called married
student housing so all the people in
married student housing in Northeast
Jerusalem love the mut and they're they
look at shekels like Monopoly money like
they they they're just playing around
with their parents money
right yeah hard enough no hard enough is
a little more per way more permanent
than
ran is completely Transit and they
anyway which means no one can get close
to each other over there because why
would you get why would you your heart
won't let you get that close to someone
that you know is leaving
so um anyway so I've been trying to
convince all the parents in America
because I have a big you know voice in
American society I've been trying to
convince all the parents that not to be
idiots when you're what do they do they
marry off a couple send them to Israel
to play with the Monopoly money for a
few years and then and then when the
time's right they draw them back and
then implant them deeply into the mud of
America to where they cannot get out and
they cannot get out and not only they
cannot get out they won't get out even
when msia comes yeah even when mhia
comes I I told you guys I asked large
audiences are you coming when mhia comes
or are you going to wait and see what
happens next and every woman says she's
coming when msia comes but she doesn't
realize her husband on the other side of
the M who's in charge of where they're
going to be says we're going to wait and
see see what happens
next yeah they're not coming back and I
wor I worry personally I worry so they
don't I worry that they won't make it
back I really worry about that they
don't believe in the what they don't
believe in the they believe in it just
keep keep them keep them and their
Investments out of this whole
story yeah they're they're they they'll
wait till see what happens next you know
people yeah that's why I called it
and mud's usually dark as well so so the
um and people are addicted to the mud
people are addicted to it if you're
raised there you think you're
daydreaming about it about the mud you
want your you want to lease your your
ex7 at uh $700 a month you know what it
would cost to have an X7 here in Israel
per
month more dollars would probably be
about 2,000
what's the next month next s a
BMW it's a vehicle beautiful German
engineering anyway
um so I don't know what will happen to
all those people but but Lakewood they
they don't come here because don't have
to go to
the are you bringing up the Army again
he won't stop with the Army anyway
anyway so what's happened is a lot of
the society leans on the other part of
the society why to keep Torah alive to
keep Torah going it's imbalanced very
imbalanced caused a lot of resentment
there tons of resentment over it you
know like it doesn't take long to talk
to a SEO Israeli before they segue to
theim being parasites on the society it
Segways real quick there and but you
have to know if you get in those
conversations you have to say to them
that I can't explain this to you mister
because until you would understand the
value of teror and understand a teeny
bit of History which I've delivered in
this class then you you just can never
understand why it's important that we
don't let Torah be forgotten why didn't
Torah can't be forgotten it's game over
by the way the whole planet game over
torah's if Torah gets forgotten and it
would be easily forgotten if it wasn't
for theum it would be gone not you don't
think there's a BAL do it like like I
get it that when the musculum when
Israel was started and all that like
there
wasn't
naturally extreme reaction to something
else extreme that happened but at this
point like don't you think there's room
for a more balanced solution than
complete
imbalance
um yeah um so the question is in case
you didn't hear is is isn't there a more
balanced solution to all all of this um
there is there is for sure and not only
is there there will be and it's only
waiting for one thing and that one thing
is
trust trust right if let's say you and I
had an
issue and and we want to work out the
issue but the is but there's an issue
beyond the issue and be issue beond the
is he's screwed me several times in the
past and I've screwed him several times
in the past and there's no trust
so we don't have trust so now let's say
you're the mediator and you want to get
us back
together what's the first thing you got
to develop TR trust yeah you have to
develop that there's two trustworthy
part two partners at the table who can
trust each
other well how are we going to build
trust well there's going to have to be
some uh first of all you're going to
have to be able to articulate my side
because otherwise I don't think the guy
understands me and I have to be able to
articulate your side till the secular
Israeli government can articulate the
side of
theim which I don't imagine them being
able to do now but maybe they could
someday I believe that I'm meant I
really believe this that I'm meant at
some point in my career to become a
spokesman to the secular Israeli
government uh
world to explain the subtleties of what
we're talking about when we talk about
the importance of Tor in the planet that
that and so that once they can
understand that and then and then uh
communicate their understanding that we
get it now now we get it and thank you
so muchim for having Dr put your heels
in the Dr dug your heels in the
sand dug your heels in the
ground to not let us destroy Torah thank
you for not letting us Destro T but in
in other words let's develop trust if we
could develop that trust and some good
will should be some Goodwill like
there's I should give you something you
should give me something a little bit of
Goodwill in the process if we could do
trust and we could do Goodwill we would
find the balance we'd find that balance
and we're going to get there we're going
to get there and the and the and one of
the biggest issues of all is the is that
the uh you're not allowed to have
Gentiles in the land of Israel unless
they're keeping the seven noahide laws
so Gentiles aren't allowed here and
right now I mean that applies to Jews
also Jews aren't allowed here
no in order to live here you have to
keep mitzah you're a gentile you have to
keep the seven laws if you're a Jew you
have to keep the
63 otherwise you're not allowed to live
here right you can't be you can't be a
Jew and an idol
worshiper um but but anyway the the he's
right but also the the the Gentiles are
not allowed to be here Trump's taking I
know did you guys see the latest Trump
news so funny Trump's like he's we need
a guy like Trump to not understand any
of the the subtle
details you need a guy like Trump who's
like that guy doesn't have an
anti-semitic bone in his body like the
whole reason all the goyam in the world
would every go in the world every leader
every Gentile every every Arab every
everyone thinks and every Jew every Jew
thinks that that Gaza should be a less
Hamas Arab area Trump just looks down
from a satellite picture sees a coastal
area he's thinking Maro you know he's
like yeah you know these people they
deserve a good life get them the hell
out of there let's rebuild that place
make it something beautiful
International you know great place
he like you know and he but the whole
world would say back Donald Trump don't
you realize that that would mean the
Jews would live in peace that's not part
of it you understand Nan himself would
never even thought of such an idea he's
like like every government leader of
this country even the ones who are
right-winger
anti-arab still probably deep down
believe that we're supposed to have our
enemy in the
land wow Trump's like
you don't have enemies in your
land yeah but we're we're going to we're
going to mop the floor with those guys
we already
are yeah the
the those guys are
build yeah they they're they're going to
be knocked out those guys and the all
that's going to be left all there's
going to be left is just Jews and these
Israeli Arabs who have just been
terrible humiliated by radical islamists
all this time but who says they won't
get radicalized you know like I don't
know but I know one thing is they are so
humiliated by by by the their what do
you call it
co-religionists you know I believe when
you see them in our Parks you ever
notice they're in the herbs are in the
Western Jerusalem
Parks I believe they're in the Parks
because they're just looking for some
acceptance I really do I I think they
they just want to feel
normal you know they're actually just
they're just citizens who are like
trying to make a life for themselves and
Israel is the best place of all the
Middle Eastern countries we're the best
place meaning even the ones that are
better than Israel aren't that good if
you're not close to the leaders you it's
not meaning Saudi Arabia is a great
place to be unless you're just a regular
guy living in a tent with a bunch of
sheep Israel is the best place in the
Middle East for for an ER and they're
just constantly humiliated and every
time another terrorist attack they just
get strip searched at every checkpoint
these are like just regular human beings
you know regular human beings just
getting going for the full orifice
search you know and every time they want
to come come to a park
so
yeah I don't know but they but is but
they have to keep the seven laws even
the Israeli Arabs have to keep the seven
what good one yeah I think they more or
less keep the
same all right that was kind of a weird
class I don't even know if I should post
