we uh started the series last week of
some some very very necessary m
it's already having some very good
feedback so we'll
continue we'll continue and this sh
we'll have we'll go to a
[Applause]
uhana Leana SAR and also
to Ben sah mayem have mercy on him
and have mercy on all of us while we're
still here
Le
is also all of will
have so we find ourselves here in second
week of the year we have Noah
an extraordinary
par where
hasem first he tells
us where we came
from the atheists have a very difficult
time believing that the world started
5,777 years ago
because it doesn't make
sense to them scientifically when
scientists that get hundreds of millions
of dollars in Grants are telling them
otherwise you know telling them listen
the scientists are saying that the world
was uh you know only came uh into being
13 and a half billion years ago so how
could you say
5,000 doesn't make any
sense now some
people try to explain
it in a way where technically
until Adar
there was no
time so for the first 5 days or so there
was no
time so
therefore maybe the first five days are
an explanation of the 13 and a half
billion years that science says and
thenan started on the sixth day and from
that point on it's
5,777
years now there's nothing really in the
Torah to refute that meaning that
there's no one that says specifically
that
um that can't
be but there's also no one that says
that it can be in my opinion my humble
opinion um there's a uh no way that it
is to be meaning
that uh there's
um a structure in a
Torah that we learned about last week in
the first series where we know that the
Tor came to us
from Moses got the Torah in sa when God
revealed himself and then he transmitted
it to Joshua and Joshua transmitted it
to the elders and the elders to the
prophets and the prophets to the men of
the great assembly and what do we need
to know all of this stuff for to know
that there is
a source for everything we got
everything from somewhere it started
somewhere there and in order for us
to exist with Hashem as our first
priority in order for us to fulfill our
mission we need to know where we came
from we need to know our heritage we
need to know where it all started we
can't just say okay you know what we're
starting everything from
now just like for example the reason one
of the reasons why guim are not allowed
to keep Shabbat like the Jews are
allowed to keep Shabbat is because it's
not that Hashem says listen a you're not
good enough if you want to keep Shabbat
fine convert to Judaism you keep Shabbat
no problem everyone is welcome to be a
Jew you want to keep Shabbat become a
Jew you already Jew you have to keep
Shabbat and same thing in with all the
other mitv but according to the ramb a a
non-jew that keep Shabbat if he's not in
the process of converting is death
penalty not allowed to keep Shabbat it's
a Heavenly death penalty so ramb says
why is the non-jew not allowed to keep
Shabbat what hasem hates him no he's
also his creation why is not allowed to
keep Shabbat he's not allowed to keep
Shabbat because he's not allowed to
create something new he's not allowed to
create a new
religion meaning Judaism is part is has
Shabbat as one of the foundational mitv
it's a core part of Judaism it's a
present that hasem gave to am
is even before Mount
sa Hashem says to Moshe I have a great
treasure in my treasure chest and the
name of it is
Shabbat go tell the nation that I'm
about to give her to
them this
isma now if hasem said to all of the
Nations listen all of you keep Shabbat
he would say I have a great treasure to
give everyone but he didn't say
that so now if someone keeps all of
Judaism then he's going according to the
Torah if just if someone just picks in
chooses says Okay I want to keep Shabbat
because I like the Mitzvah it's easy for
me I sleep I eat I pray who's better
than you it's vacation paid vacation
because I got paid in all for it but I
don't want to wear and I don't want to
do and I don't want to have and I don't
want to be part of the Jewish Nation I
just want to keep Shabbat not allowed
why cuz now you've taken one part of the
Jewish religion and you took it to
yourself meaning you created a new
religion this is also one of the reasons
of why the Muslims and the Christians
have a serious problem aside from the
fact that Christianity is 100% idol
worship Muslim is not idol worship Islam
is not idol worship but it's still a
problem why because they have heresy
they changed the Torah and aside from
that they also created a new religion
you're not allowed to create a new
religion so the point being here is that
if
someone understands this they know that
the lineage that we have the history
that we have the track record that
Hashem has in his T is very very
important to bring me to my point if
hasem said the world was
created
point1 Adam is born point two then that
means that okay you may be right whoever
says that time started when Adam was
created may be right by saying okay time
started with Adam
but hasm didn't say that Hashem said he
created the Heaven and the Earth Day end
of day
one next round of creation end of day
two next round of creation end of day
three the Sun and the Moon end of day
four next round of creations and so on
and so forth end of day 1 2 3 4 5 and
six if there was the
days were different for the first six
days then why did he call him a
day why you just say time passed why
don't you just say I created all of this
stuff and then I created the seven
days if time was only created during the
sixth day or the 7even day or the
24-hour system was created during the 7
day or time was different or whatever
they want to say to try to rationalize
it in order to make the Torah meet
science which is the opposite it's
science is catching up the Torah problem
is that sometimes we become weak enough
to try to appease the people and we try
to show how the Torah is meeting their
needs in reality it's supposed to be the
opposite so we see here that if
hasem wanted to make sure that we know
that our lineage is very important our
history is very important our structure
is very important what you say from ear
to mouth from uh from uh mouth to ear is
important that's how the oral Tora has
traveled for the last 3,300 years and
even before that from Ab ainu
before so what we say what we do
everything is very very important if it
wasn't important it wouldn't be included
in the Torah if time was different if it
was important for us to even know that
the world was around for 13 and half
billion years or 3 years or whatever
they want to say hasem would include it
in the Tor now in thear in
page 12 it does say something to
reference that something similar to The
Big
Bang where it says that before Hashem
created the Heaven and the
Earth in essence he he was the only
thing that was there there was nothing
but
AEM was only AEM and he had to minimize
himself in order to make room for his
other
creations and then it describes a little
bit of the details of what happened to
this creation of how it started with a
small dot that expanded which is in
essence very similar to how they explain
at least part of the big Bank theory of
how the universe expands and continue to
expand and so on but the difference is
is that Hashem told it to stop meaning
stop
expanding and that's the difference
between science and Torah where Torah
says that
Hashem had the starting point
told it went to stop
expanding where a sign says it started
expanding and it's never going to stop
expanding meaning it's out of control or
it is in control by itself where hasem
obviously is saying that he's the one
that put it there he's the one that
controls it so the point being here is
that it's there are there is a lot of
Science in the Torah and one of the main
things we've seen in a Torah and science
lectures that we've had in the past is
that despite the fact that science
constantly calls out the Torah saying
that it's wrong the only one that's ever
proven that the other side is wrong is
the Torah proving that science is wrong
and science finally catching up to the
Torah science has never proven the Torah
wrong not to this day never before never
you know they could say it's wrong but
it's all based on theories so my point
being is as far as time is concerned the
majority opinion is that obviously time
started with bit there are some in this
generation that say
uh it could have it could have started
with but there's no like um major source
that would say so either
way one of the ways that we could
explain how there is certain things that
are have a
uh are very dated if you use carbon
dating if you use a uh uranium or coal
all different types of dating systems
that they have you see that there are
certain things that have a very old date
next to them now even though those dates
are not precise because if you give a
dinosaur to one scientist they'll tell
you it's 30 million years old you give
it to another scientist they tell you
it's 35 million years old till give it
to another scientist they'll give you
it's 41 million years old and this
doesn't seem like a big deal ah it's 30
40 million years what's the big
difference it's 10 million years what do
you mean if we're saying that the world
is only 5,777 years old and you're G
your your guesstimate is a 10 million
year difference even if it's a 1 million
year difference
it's a big difference people just throw
Millions like it's like you know Pocket
Change ah it's 35 million ah it's 50
million don't worry I'll pay for it it's
on me 50 million throw it in we'll get a
bigger Grant now if you say a billion
get $500 million from the government
okay so it's a billion years you get an
extra reward for more years more years
you get more
grants so how do you explain that first
and
foremost we need to know that the dating
systems are flawed the scientific proof
that they're flawed uh there is actually
a movie uh by a scientist not a Jew
called the fingerprint of creation if
you don't like science you'll fall
asleep in 5 minutes it's very very
boring it's very dense but if you do
like science you should watch it it's an
old movie from about almost 30 years ago
and until this day no one has proven it
wrong meaning that he showed scientific
evidence that every single one of the of
the uh dating systems is
wrong absolutely wrong so that's I'm not
going to go into the science of it
that's not what we here for but anyone
that wants to know why the dating
systems are wrong scientifically watch
the movie it's about 30 minutes anyone
that likes science it's very
entertaining anyone who doesn't just
take my word for it save yourself the
time learn Torah for the next 30
minutes that's point one point number
two easier way to point anyone that took
science class in high school in America
knows that but at some point you learn
about the world you learn about the
atmosphere you learn that the world
itself the globe has a certain
temperature and that
temperature is changes over time not
much but it changes over time the
problem with all dating systems all of
them not one is different from this is
all of them depend on the atmosphere
remaining stagnant meaning if the
temperature balance let's say just uh
let's say par or or let's just say the
uh the value is supposed to be
zero if the univer the globe changed
temperature by 1 dee over the last 100
years Thousand Years a million years
whatever they want whatever number they
want to throw that means that the dating
system is no longer valid now one thing
they have proven scientifically is that
the temperature has changed for sure
which means
that it cannot the dating system cannot
be used so that's Point number
two Torah wise which is the most
interesting part easiest way to
explain
how these things are dated is the fact
that just like a sick person before he
was sick he was healthy if you saw me
before my surgery in
2006 I was a perfectly healthy
26-year-old
guy with millions and millions of
dollars everything was fine my annoyance
that I had once or twice a year no one
knew about it you couldn't tell by
looking at me it's perfectly healthy fit
played football in high school lifted
some weights everything was
fantastic November 18th 2006 everything
changed and if you fast
forward over the next several years
you'd see when you see pictures of me
you see someone that went from being 10
as a as a normal complexion like some of
you to someone that's completely white
like I just came out of Russia only
difference is my complexion was not
because I came out of Russ was because I
was very very sick and about to
die so what why is that because when you
go through
trauma things
change the world and this week's parat
No went through
trauma hasem destroyed
everything he took a couple of stars as
it says in
thear and he moved them out of
place meaning he took a couple of
comets couple of comets that were all
ice he moved them out of place and all
the water came and flooded the Earth
from the top plus the
lava came out of the bot
bom burned everything in sight and
flooded everything that was flying
burned everything from the bottom melted
everything and as it says in the Paras
the neim which were giants that reached
the sky melted and was their their their
uh their skin and their bones and
everything had no record whatsoever all
of it
melted and became
liquid the one thing that Hashem did
leave is hasem left one of the Giants by
the name of OG OG the king of Bashan and
the reason why he left them was number
one in the future you would have a merit
for
reporting a uh something to abah ainu
that lot was
kidnapped so that was one Merit that he
would have in the future but the second
reason or the bigger reason of why he
left OG uh alive because technically you
can't be paid for something you haven't
done yet but the main reason of why he
left him is cuz OG was the smallest of
all the
Giants so anyone that would now after
Noah came they reproduced they brought
people to the world those
people saw this
giant and he's telling a story listen I
was there Hashem destroyed Giants much
bigger than
me I'm the smallest of all of them so if
he could destroy things that are bigger
than
me then you get a little bit of an idea
of who hasem is his
power the point being is that the world
went through major trauma Hashem
destroyed the world so when something
goes into trauma you can see how things
could be the dating could be different a
tree that was a uh or a ground or sand
or anything that
uh went through this such a trauma
obviously he's going to have major major
uh um signs
so that's that's the uh biblical
explanation
nonetheless the the last and most
important point about the whole dating
thing of how old the Earth is is it
doesn't
matter if the world is 13 and5 billion
years old 30 billion years old it was
just born last week and you know this
week is its birthday it doesn't make a
difference you still have to keep
Shabbat you still have to do you still
have to keep kosher still have still
have to be modest nothing changes none
of the mitv change because of how old
the role is so anyone that wants to use
that as an excuse to not keep mitv no
you guys are saying that the world's
only 5,700 years old already shows us a
problem it doesn't make a difference
okay it's 13 and half billion years old
we agree with you you're you're you're
the genius fine still have to keep
Shabbat nothing changes this is the
reason why the sages didn't spend much
time on it because it doesn't really
make a difference and it's also the
reason why the sages don't really talk
about
aliens you know from other planets
doesn't there's nothing in the tah that
talks about aliens doesn't say that they
exist doesn't say it doesn't exist if
they exist if they don't exist doesn't
make a difference why because it won't
affect our
life could they exist sure I mean it
says in the Holy books that Hashem did
create other worlds there was six other
worlds before this
world he created them he destroyed them
he created them and destroyed them this
is the last World there's also it says
in the Holy books that there's different
creatures in the world there's little
midgets that you know you don't seeed
there uh not the ones that are just
people that are short and sick like I
mean like little creatures that are like
small like I think I told you guys in
one of the sheers that Sunny wants to
catch one of them Sunny asked me how you
could catch one of them there is also
ghosts there is demons there's all types
of wonderful things that we don't
see they
exist um even says that SCH went and
went to this other part of the world and
brought one of these
beings that had three heads and someone
that was
small it's in the
Torah do we know everything about them
do we know what language they speak what
they like what their favorite uh team is
in baseball no we because it doesn't
make a
difference only thing that's in theora
are the things that are going to make a
difference in your life just like it
says in
as we've talked about in the past the
reason why only 55 prophets are
mentioned in the tanak and not the over
1.2 million that we've had throughout
history is not because the 1.2 million
prophets that we had throughout history
are not important they're very important
there hm's Creations they were prophets
obviously they're
important but they weren't mentioned
because their prophecy was only relevant
to their
time it wasn't which means that the 55
that are mentioned in the tanak the five
books of Moses and the 19 other books
after
it every word every letter every
sentence everything that they
say is eternal meaning it's relevant to
their generation to the generation after
to the 10 Generations after all the way
to you and me today everything that's
written in this book is relevant forever
even the mitv that you can't do like for
example there's mitv that uh uh they you
know we can't do like things that we for
the bet
mikash it's still relevant to you why
two reasons number one the BET mdash
will be built one
day at that moment mdash is built that
mitah becomes
relevant Point number two as it says in
the book of HOSA the prophet says that
our our prayers are replaced
our every time you pray it's instead of
giving Corban instead of doing the SA
rice this is chapter 14:14 of book of
O so we see here
that Hashem created the world in a
certain way and a certain order and as
we learned in last week's sh he wants to
make sure that we know where the
starting point was that the Torah was
not something that we found in some
cave the Torah was received by someone
named MO Mes in front of millions and
millions and millions of witnesses it's
not some book that just appeared out of
some uh mystical event millions of
people saw this
happen this is the only religion that
ever started in front of millions of
people as hem says in his Tor no other
religion will ever
start like Judaism did meaning
no one will ever say that me him and my
buddy or two people even spoke to God
one person can say whatever he wants but
no two people will ever say we spoke to
God at the same
time what's the significance of
this now doesn't is showing you that
number one am is very
special they're the only ones that not
only do he speak to two people he spoke
to Millions all at once
and it's a one-time event that's number
one number two it shows that whoever
says that they spoke to God whether it's
Muhammad the prophet for the uh Muslims
or it's uh JC peny for the uh for the
Christians or it's some other Cult of
religion for some other you know Buddha
or something you could see you look at
their religion they say oh only one guy
so you see that hashem's Torah came true
here you see that no religion was
started by more than one
person the significance of this is that
it shows you that the one who wrote this
book also has control over nature
because technically anyone that wants to
prove the Torah wrong can just say make
up a
lie take him take five of his friends
they'll say they'll make a big uh
conspiracy say listen All of Us come out
of the
woods make sure that the med is waiting
for
us and all of us just spoke the god
that's it there's a mistake in the
T if more than one person says he spoke
to God there's a mistaken the
to that can never
be so something that is technically easy
to do you get five people to liem says
even that's not going to happen
even that's not going to happen so it
shows whoever wrote the book obviously
is telling you listen I want to make
sure that people believe this book and
follow because in order for them to
follow it they have to believe it so I
can't put anything in it that's
easy or even possible to
disprove this is a point that you can
disprove tomorrow five people watch this
sh they want their mental cases they
want to tell the world that they're uh
you know they they want to start a new
religion okay they watch five people
watch sh they all start a whole consp
iracy make sure that the media is
watching you know today everybody's a
cameraman now with their phones
so five people say okay we all spoke to
God that's it you ever mistaken the
Tor why don't I say shalom because it
can never happen why because the one
that runs the world is the same one that
wrote the book he says it's never going
to happen I take his word for it just
like he says the world started at a
certain point end of day one end of day
two end of day three end of day four
that's it take his word for it
and that's the
main Tri um character
trait that we can learn from no in it
starts
with Noah was a righteous man perfect in
his generation but tamim doesn't just
mean perfect in his generation the
literal translation means he was
complete complete with Hashem
whatever Hashem says that's what he does
no second guessing no Hashem can you
give me a proof can you can you show me
something can you show me like some
miracle or something I know that you're
there it doesn't say that he had
Miracles he didn't have Mount Si he
didn't have the uh 10
plagues he didn't have any Cloud
following him needless to say seven
clouds he didn't have M coming from
shamim no
proofs but it doesn't say that Noah had
saf that he was doubting AEM are you
real maybe I'm just going crazy maybe
the plant that I ate for lunch had some
LSD in it or
something who knows he didn't say he
doesn't say that why Tam he was Hashem
says this that's what I'm going do no
questions asked this is one of the best
tributes that you could actually a
character traits you could have for
yourself
it's good to ask questions it's
encouraged to ask
questions in
Judaism but make sure that every one of
your questions has a purpose don't be
one of these people that just ask
questions just for the sake of knowing
that there is an answer like sometimes
people people send me hundreds and
hundreds of emails and text messages
every day the bigger the uh Channel
grows more fans the website grows
people from America to Australia to
Tahiti to
India Africa all over the world are
watching the so far I know of six
continents that are watching people
people are watching the sh and they send
questions they send messages they have
all these interesting questions and a
lot of them are very good questions some
of them are very sensitive questions
like should we have kids should I have
an abortion should I get married should
I get divorced
should I tell my husband I cheated on
him should I tell my wife that I cheated
on her should I
convert all types of should should
should all very very important questions
once in a while you get a stupid
question and not because the question
itself is stupid there's no such thing
as a stupid question everybody has a
question that's interesting to them the
reason why I called a stupid question is
because it has no
purpose like there's no like if I give
you the information let's it doesn't
matter whether I know the answer or not
I could get the answer
that doesn't make it stupid or make it a
good question if I know the answer or
doesn't know the answer doesn't make a
difference what makes it stupid is that
sometimes people want to ask a question
for no reason
whatsoever there's absolutely no purpose
for this question they just want to know
that there is an
answer and that is a waste of time and
that someone that's not looking for an
answer but instead is looking for an
excuse and if someone is looking for
excuses
of not to believe you're already looking
for excuses I can give you excuses not
to follow Judaism from
Judaism from Judaism you want excuses I
can help you get excuses no problem you
want to G home enjoy I can give you a
way first way to get confused completely
confused read the rambam's guide to the
perplexed read that book if you're not
confused then you might be an
angel tough point
it's impossible said it's impossible
sages people burned the book because
they thought it's something wrong with
this book it's not it's genius it's pure
genius but he gives you certain
questions in the book there's no answer
to them not to us not to our generation
not to his generation even not to anyone
other than mosenu even and even mosenu
perhaps was didn't even have an answer
there certain things there's no answer
to them we only going to know when the
mashia comes so you want excuses go read
that book you'll have plenty of excuses
not to follow religion
enjoy but no there's a risk
here if you're wrong if there's a 1%
chance that you're
wrong and the Torah is 100% true your
excuse is not going to help
you you show up to sh and tell you how
come you didn't keep
Shabbat I had
doubts what did you have doubts about I
had doubts if God was real or not yeah
so you think that the world just came
into being by itself no no I knew
something had to be there okay so why
don't you follow that something cuz I
wasn't sure if it was Christianity or
Islam or okay but did you
see many many proofs in Christianity
that it's fake did you check out
Christianity yeah yeah I saw
Christianity you see that every page in
New Testament has a mistake in
it yes I saw so you still followed it no
no I left it okay so that crosses the
first one Islam you saw that there's a
mistake there's over 9,000 copies of it
9,000 different copies 9,000 different
versions of it you see that the Quran
has over 9,000 versions which one was
right oh I don't know I didn't check all
of them did you why did you find any
mistakes yeah I found mistakes okay so
you didn't follow that one okay fine
Judaism do you find any mistakes no I
didn't find any mistakes so what' you
find I just didn't have answers okay so
you didn't have
answers that's why you didn't keep
Shabbat that's why you didn't keep
kosher that's why you didn't follow
anything you just defaulted to
nothing you didn't do that with your
business you didn't know what you're
going to do in the future you didn't
know whether you're going to succeed or
not but you still started a business
with
nothing how many major businesses
started with
nothing all of them start in a garage
with a dream $500 in a dream or $1 in a
dream whether it was Apple or Facebook
or Microsoft all of them all of them
started with nothing
the greater the business the smaller it
started usually usually the ones that
start really big don't end up very well
Google do you know that Google came to
Microsoft
Yahoo and I believe one other
company and asked them to invest $10
million to buy the company nothing
peanuts buy the whole company said no
this is maybe
1999 20 000 this is right after the com
crash Microsoft and yaho oh in America
Online Microsoft America online and
Yahoo all said no we don't believe any
you know there's a future for search
engines we don't believe there's a
future for search engines we're not
going to waste our money on it okay you
fast forward 16 years Google is bigger
than all three of them
combined but Google start with nothing
nothing why you think those guys had a
uh said oh listen we're not sure if
we're going to succeed so therefore
we're not going to
start what about your health doesn't say
a
guarantee on a medicine bottle
guaranteed to work no medicine in the
world says that all it says
is disclosure this may kill you this may
cause you diarrhea this may cause you to
go blind this may cause you to have
headaches forever this may cause you to
go get divorced this may but it's just
for headaches For Heaven's
Sake gives you all the disclosure of all
the possible downside what's going to
happen but you take it anyway why go
take a risk what are you going to do I
can't deal with the
headache so for the medicine you took it
you took the chance for the company you
took the
chance for the marriage you took the
chance you don't know if she's going to
be honest you don't know if he's going
to be honest you took a chance chance
for eternity you can't take a chance on
God what do you lose by being Jewish
what do you lose by keeping MIT you have
one day a week vacation you have about
one month a year vacation or a little
more than a month a year vacation aside
from
Shabbat you get to celebrate get to keep
some mitv get to hang out with the
family some friends you go pray you talk
to a Creator you give yourself some hope
you give some yourself some purpose in
life so you don't think that you go and
end up becoming a sand or a tree after
you
die what's the downside you learned some
books that give you some give you some
intellect so you're not you're a little
bit different than a donkey it doesn't
know anything what's what's the downside
so that's the thing no one can show up
to sh and say listen I wasn't sure if
the world was 5,000 years old or 13 and
half billion years old so therefore I
didn't keep anything that my friends is
an excuse and here we learn from where
we learned from Noah the same Paras that
tells us what happened to make this
confusion happen in the first place the
same par tells us how you can avoid this
confusion avoid it by being
tamim avoid it by
being now in the actually you had a
question before I start my next point
you had a both of you had a
question actually
proved in one of his lectures is that
the world couldn't be more than the time
the
5,777 years through the salt in the
ocean and the sun Ken can same same same
scientific system sure proed this but
this actually makes sense cuz it's 100%
accurate that the world is only the time
there's many scientists that have come
to their senses and realized that
there's no way that the world can be
billions of years old but again the
thing is though is that it's not an
acceptable answer worldwide there's
still plenty of people that believe the
world is much much older than 5,776
years old uh or 77 years old but again
like I said it doesn't make a difference
doesn't make a difference what was your
question after slide you can ask
questions it's okay same price same
price so anybody else any questions make
Point Okay so
page
49a
says
translation as we know is the critical
part of the oral Tora the Mish which is
what we're reading here which is the uh
came before thear thear explains the
mishna thear says whoever paid the
punishment to the generation of the
flood generation of
Noah and the
generation of the Tower of
Babel which is at the end of no the end
of no a lot of people missed this
part is what happened at the Tower of
Babel chapter 11 of
11 this is after
Noah and his family survived the
Maul they
reproduced more people came to the world
fast forward a little over 300
years and you have a bunch of people
that say okay
listen in the year 1600
Hashem destroyed the
world
so maybe he's going to destroy the world
every 1600 years so instead of us
waiting 1600 years to see what happens
let's just go build a build a
building get to the heavens get to the
sky kill
AEM so we don't have to worry about
it now this obviously sounds ridiculous
but they actually this is what they ex
exactly what they did
everyone thinks that the uh building in
Dubai is the tallest building ever no it
wasn't Tower of Babel was much taller
much much without they foundations
everything what do you mean they have
Foundation no building no there's no
such thing as a building without
Foundation back then they didn't have
the tools to do all this why the tools
tools were created today no tools were
created steel was already around from
the time of can and Abel says who was
the first uh first want to have steel
all the tools were there okay yeah we
didn't have the technology that we have
today with the uh um certain technology
certain electricity that we have today
but they have plenty of brains and we
could see that there's certain
structures from the past that even today
with all the technology we have we can't
build example the pyramids we can't
build the pyramids right now if we want
to can't another example look at some of
the old buildings in New York look at
some of the old buildings in Paris or
different parts of France or in England
get the best construction company in
they can't build the same
thing you can't you look at all you look
at the bet mikdash there's no uh there's
no cement each rock is not connected to
another
rock each rock is directly just on is
laying on top of the other rock with
nothing connecting
them nothing no glue nothing no you're
not allowed you weren not allowed to put
any glue we weren't allowed to put any
any adhesive to connect the Rocks you
also were not allowed to use steel in
the BET mikdash meaning they had to cut
those
stones with no with no steel how go find
go find something to cut the stone with
no steel how do they do it with Shamir
worm like he said was Shamir worm that
was which is a species that doesn't
exist
anymore that radiation came out of it
and they were able to cut the stones in
a precise way this is also how they made
the for
the so yes the technology of today
didn't exist back then but we had
different technology some of it was
actually much more advanced there's
plenty of places in thear as we talked
about in the uh Torah and Science and I
think in other lectures there's plenty
of proofs in the gar that there are
certain parts of technology that we had
back then or medicine that we had back
then that's actually better than today
like for example my dear friend may give
him
May him
goof May about a year
ago um God bless him he's been going to
T
after sadik takes everything with love a
little over a year ago is uh
I
broke pretty much his retina popped and
he had to have surgery to put his eye
together
again
um and uh till this day he doesn't see
100% like he did before this thing
happened no it just happened it didn't
nothing hurt it no one punched him
nothing touched it just one day it
happened now plenty of people have
problems with their vision and they go
on ahead they get either lasc surgery
like I did 15 years ago uh to a laser
surgery
to improve your vision or you wear
glasses um
um the option of staying without one or
the other is really not uh good for most
people because you aside from not being
able to see it also gives you
headaches when you can't see and you
stress your uh stress your arm your eyes
uh you get headaches I used to get
migraine headaches but anyway in today's
world if you want to fix your eyes you
have to go to a surgery even though it
takes only a few
minutes it's a um still it's a process
but in the there's a story of one of the
had a problem with his eyes he went to
one of the other he said okay no problem
just put this
cream on top of your
eyes he says no no no I don't I'm scared
to put it on top of my eyes maybe I'll
go blind worse go okay fine put it on
top of something else then put that on
top of your eyes no no no I'm scared I'm
scared long story short at the end of
the different processes that he told him
he goes okay fine put this in the back
of your
head it's not even connecting to your
back of your head over here put it over
here just rub a little bit on the back
of your head little cream lotion buy
from CVS
$5.99 put it it was free because
sikim he put it woke up the next day
Vision if somebody had that today Bill
Gates will work for him to be so rich
you understand so the things in
technology that's much more advanced
back
then but needless to say there's a uh
the Tower of Babel was definitely a
monstrosity it was a huge building they
tried building it with a warped
mentality that they were going to fight
God
now the question
is why didn't God destroy them like he
did the generation that was 350 years
earlier like
Noah destroyed all of
them why don't they destroy these people
they're worse at least the other ones
they were stealing from each other they
weren't going directly against
theem the one thing that kept the
generation of the Tower of Babel to not
be destroyed by hasem was the fact that
they had
Unity so
now the mishna
says whoever paid punishment to the
generation of the
flood and the generation of the Tower of
Babel eventually hasem destroyed
them the way he destroyed Tower of Babel
is
that he changed the languages he created
the SE until that point there was only
there was only the holy language that he
created the world with only
Hebrew but at that point he said okay
you know what I'm going to create 70
languages so each person is going to
talk to the other person they're not
going to understand each
other when they can't understand each
other there's no more Unity once there's
no more Unity they're going to destroy
each other together that's exactly what
happened soem is telling us
here just like he paid punishment to the
generation of of of Noah just like he
paid punishment to the generation of the
Tower of Babel he will pay punishment to
the one who doesn't stand by his word
what does it mean one who doesn't stand
by his word if you say the one who
doesn't keep Shabbat the one that goes
in uh with a married woman that's not
his the one who Wast seed the one plenty
of seed plenty of sins he's not saying
that here he's saying he's going to pay
the same punishment to the one doesn't
keep his
word it's big deal we should know what
it means
right soem
says just like you
learned in the first
mishna that my word is very very
important I made sure that you know
where
everything came
from I started the Tora to show you that
I started the
world and the first book of The Five
Books of Moses there's no to we didn't
get the to we only got it in the second
book in The Book of
Exodus but I told you that whole history
to show you where everything came
from and despite having many many
reasons to destroy the
world after no
cuz people continued
sinning these people build a building to
go fight
Hashem Nim was named Nim in the
generation of abah a
because he specifically his mission in
life was to go against hem that was his
purpose in
life nothing else his whole job was to
go against AEM like some of these idiots
today that make websites against God or
against
rabbis the whole purpose in life is to
go against Judaism go against religion
in general
sometimes I had plenty of reasons to
destroy the world but I made a deal I
made a
deal with Noah that I'm not going to
destroy the
world and the sign for that is my
creation of the
rainbow so I had plenty of reasons to
destroy the world the generation of Noah
after Noah I Didn't Do
It Tower of Babel I had plenty of reason
to destroy them I didn't destroy them
why because I kept my word I kept my
word almost 5,000 years
ago so that's one small attribute that
you can't emulate me I'm keeping my word
for 5,000
years you can't keep your word between
each other you tell the guy listen we
made a deal I'm going to sell you the
house you signed a
contract a day after you sign a contract
you go back to the guy no no I don't
want to do it anymore why not no I got
somebody who give me a better price okay
but you already signed a deal okay sue
me Sue me okay by the time you finish
suing me you're going to spend more
money than the house is is
worth same thing somebody wants to sell
a company
they made a deal got to an agreement
signed a deal not like uh yeah yeah I
want it I'm interested like they
actually sign a deal there's actually
Witnesses there's actually sign a deal
the guy goes back on his
word no good hasem says just like I
punish those those people in the
generation of the
flood generation of tower Babel I'm
going to punish you because you have to
keep your word why cuz your word is very
very important
very very
important so how is this
connected to
our
series as we
see that the mishna the second
mishna is a
continuation we finished last week with
saying how Moshe got the Torah and he
gave it to Joshua and to the elders and
to the prophets and then eventually they
got to
the the men of the great assembly a
group of 120 of
the some of which were actual
prophets now here the second says
shim Shimon the
righteous was one of the remnants of the
great assembly was one of the last ones
he was the last
one of of the men of the great
assembly he was accustomed to
say the world is based on three things
on the Torah on the service of God and
upon the acts of loving
kindness so here we have someone right
off the bat it's showing us that this is
not some shimo that's from the flea
market this is not some guy this is
showing us direct connection to
mosenu we know exactly who gave him what
he
knows all the way from mosenu there
actually a list if you guys want to show
you after the exactly of how the Torah
was transmitted from mosenu from Prophet
to Prophet to Prophet to Prophet to
Prophet to Prophet all the way to Shimon
sadik all way to R all the way to
today see exactly how the Torah was
transmitted no gaps like the or the say
there's no gaps you can see exactly how
the Torah was transmitted both the
written and the oral Torah all the way
from 3,300 years
ago so no one can have a doubt Hey
listen there was a gap like in
Christianity is a problem in that
religion what a lot of people don't know
the characters in the book didn't write
the
book as a matter of fact the characters
inside the New Testament weren't even
alive for 70 to 300
years before that book was
written meaning that no one that's
inside that book that's a character in
that book whether it's JC Penney or it's
one of his buddies none of them were
actually alive at the time of the
writing of this book not their kids
nothing meaning that the characters in
the book were not alive at the time the
book is is WR writing and the people
that wrote the book had no evidence that
that's what they
said because saw him nothing no one saw
him no one knew anything so just bunch
of people just decide to write a
book that's a problem for anyone that
actually wants the truth that's a
serious problem there's no there's no
evidence there's no proof there's no
Witnesses there's nothing if I brought
this case to court they throw me out of
the Court like come on come back when
you're
serious you're trying to prove something
but you have no Witnesses no
eyewitnesses and any eyewitness that you
have already died 200 years before you
even knew that it
existed there a problem with this see it
shows in the Torah there's no Gap all
the way from we know actually as a
matter of fact all the way
from Adam gave it to several people all
the way from Adam 10 Generations there's
a m we'll go
over says the list the 10 generation
until
ainu you see exactly who the people are
how the Tor was transmitted from from
each person each
generation who got it and so here it's
starting already with the mishna telling
you listen this is not some
Shimon that we just want to call him
because we want to give him a compliment
this is the same Shimon that was the
last one last member
of that we finished the first Mish
telling you of how great they were where
when they read the Torah it's very
different than when we read the Torah
when we read the Torah we read some
words we know enough to look at
commentary from 900 years ago from a
thousand years ago 1500 years ago all
types of different commentary
and we go into the a little bit mid a
little bit see a little more commentary
a little
more understanding of whyem decide to
use this verse versus that verse this
word versus that word this Mitzvah
versus that Mitzvah we get to learn we
you spend your whole life learning you
get to know
something but if I if you look at the
basic if you speak the holy language you
look at a basic verse in the Torah all
you see is the basic verse
anything else you want to find out about
that verse you have to look elsewhere
you have to look at commentary you have
to look at the you have to look at the Z
you have to look at M to look at you
have to look at a bunch of other
places the student of the
students
ofes was one of the students of RAB AKA
in
the it says that
when tells his
son my
son be careful when you write a seph
Tora because if you missed one letter
one UD one UD you could
destroy the
world destroy the whole world if you
write a se you take a scroll you go
start writing se you miss one letter you
could destroy the world what's theat
what's the meaning of
this if you write a seph obviously if
you miss one letter it's not going to
destroy the world
physically what is the meaning here he
saying when you write you have to copy
it is you have to copy it you have to
copy it from another book you can't just
do it from memory even if you know the
whole Torah by heart you're now have to
say write it a scroll of Torah for
memory you have to copy it that's the
AL so make sure to be very very careful
because if you miss a UD that UD the
small tiny letter any letter but he's
just giving the letter UD as an example
because it's the smallest letter
physically out of all the letters that
one letter can
change the entire context of the
sentence
example the word
yehudi yehi means
right if you take out the letter UD it's
tiny little dot what's a tiny small you
take out the ud from the beginning of Yi
what do you
havei
Indian when a Jew has UD is one of the
major letters in hashem's name when a
Jew has AEM in his life he's a Yi
doesn't have AEM in his life he's AI
where there's the number one idol
worship in the world unfortunately is
there vies and a both my helpers
actually is one of the new members of
the team last few months sadik taught
himself
Hebrew also from
India they're telling me of this huge
amount of idol worship that's going on
in India right now it's m like a war
zone over there I don't know it's it's
it's a tun tun but
they live there and they uh they show me
all these pictures of all different
types of idol worship that's being
celebrated right now some group of
people worship dogs some cows some rats
some money some guy send me a picture
they worship a
computer I'm not joking they wor send me
a picture people praying to a computer
other group of people praying to money
they put a stack of stacks of money and
they start praying to the money other
people start praying to the dog they
dress up the dog start praying to the
dog other people pray to a
motorcycle Harley Davidson motorcycle to
start praying to the
motorcycle so us like it's if if if if
craziness and stupidity were stocks we
should buy all of our money together and
borrow money just to buy all of it and
and on
margin cuz the price would be Infinity
it's m craziness but that's what's going
on the most thing they worship cow the
most right cows is most popular but also
there's Islam is also there by the way
in India as well but none nonetheless
the point is is that when you if you
take out that yud the little tiny letter
changes the context of the world so is
telling us make sure when you write a t
be very careful because one letter could
CH could destroy the world it could
change an could change the context of a
sentence but then in a
different we have a problem why it says
when wrote a book wrote the T he wrote A
seph
T someone came and so what are you doing
you're writing seph Tor where's where
are you copying it from he wasn't
copying it from anything he was writing
it for memory that's what they say
initially
because why you going against your
own
right says no no no is
different Aban is different he's not
writing it for memory he sees the
Tora so what does explain sees the Tor
it's not like us we see you open a you
see black letters on white background
representing a nice symbolism for how
the Torah was originally written black
fire on White
Fire the student of the students
of one of them
being he didn't have he didn't memorize
the Torah like we some people could
learn the Torah for a while you can
memorize parts of it all of it by heart
he didn't memorize it he would see it
meaning at all times he would see the
Torah everywhere you can't see you go
there you see nothing it's air but he
sees it does it actually exist
everywhere if he sees it it has to exist
was he the one who wife no more T than
him do you need know more more Torah
than him but she she rebuked him a
couple of times in one she used like she
would like was her name she didn't know
more Torah than him but she uh she uh um
she was very big she was very big and
she uh outdid him in a couple of
arguments but unfortunately on the last
arguments on the last argument they had
he won and she ended up killing herself
okay how come I never heard of him
before cuz it's a big T you don't know
the whole T yet almost you don't know
half the T you know they used to
ask has had
a a photographic
memory and uh many of the books the holy
old books that we have today he got from
Egypt but they W never released for the
public they were all in the museum and
Egyptians were refused to allow the uh
public to take them out Jews to take
them out so he would go every night
every day he would go to the museum he'd
open the books he'd memorize half the
book he'd go home write the whole book
he need 40,000 books behind
heart so you write half the book you'd
come back the next day he'd read the
other half of the book he'd memorize it
go home write the rest of the book so
many books that we have really really
old books are actually purely from his
memory this extraordinary memory so
there's a joke they
say we heard that you know the whole tah
by heart he goes no come on don't don't
be uh don't
exaggerate and I only know half he says
oh really you know half which half he
goes which one do you
want so how this wife kill him kill Stu
she do so much
Shame
Shame uh it doesn't have much to do with
as but I'll tell you the story so
she was a big K very very smart lot of
knowledge but she didn't want to fulfill
her position in the uh
world she wanted
to be like one of the sadik one of the
sages go to Yesa learn so on S she laid
like you
said and uh she knew a lot more than a
lot of other
people there's a lot of interesting
stories about
her but one of the times there was a uh
argument among the
SES that the uh Mind of a woman not the
mind the uh yeah I guess this Mind of a
woman
is meaning that the um it's easy to
easier to convince a
woman her mind is
weaker than a
man's and she uh said this is a
wrong what do you
mean hasm created women this way it's
easy to convince women than it's to
convince men with certain things
she refused Oh no you're all wrong what
do you mean wrong this is this is not we
just decided because what it says you
that's
wrong so for the
t r
husband said uh I'll prove it to
you but you're not going to like it goes
bro you're never going to prove it to me
so it was a
challenge so what he did is he sent one
of his students
to entice
her to sleep with
him and you know she became friendly
with the student obviously she didn't
know he student she became friendly with
the
student became friendly and friendly and
a few times they uh they uh talked and
so on eventually she agreed to meet with
this guy and uh be intimate with him and
right when they uh they went to some
Hotel
and uh right as she was ready and so on
you know he obviously he told her who he
was and
then came in and show
see I did this but you see that it is
easier to convince a
woman proved the it wasn't to embarrass
her it was to prove it was for the why
for the because some people going to
listen to this story like what a crazy
husband this is that's a tadik why why
is he testing his wife with such a crazy
test the reason why is because when she
went against the sages he couldn't let
it be it wasn't like going against the
local Rabbi Hey listen Mr local shapit V
over here I uh you know I don't agree
with your
opinion you're a little uh you know
telling people it's okay to drive to Sho
because eventually going to help them do
cha chuva I don't agree with that it's
not that this is going against the sages
this is going against this is going
against the Tor which means that for the
Tor you're not allowed your own cavod
you could throw it in the garbage your
own Cod is worthless there's no you
shouldn't have any cavod T not allowed
to uh it's you cannot dishonor the Torah
you cannot allow the Torah to be
Dishonored your honor let it let the
more you more people dishonor you the
better the better some people some of
the sages would actually look for other
people to embarrass
them but for the Tora no such thing you
cannot you can never
ever uh disrespected let the to be
disrespected so when she went against
the sages and went against the went
against the
Tora said we must defend it we must
defend it
vigorously because if we don't do it
people are going to think that just
because she's my wife she's the wife of
the she can do whatever she wants and if
she could do whatever she wants then the
next woman is going to say what she
could do whatever she wants and then the
next guy's going to do whatever he wants
next thing you know there's not
t so she's like everybody else so he
showed her that she's wrong but because
she was shown that she's wrong in this
way she couldn't take the embarrassment
and she killed
herself kill your so that's the story
now
as far as as far as the
um has given me uh to remember all these
stories you're asking me questions you
hold me keep me on my toes so
now AEM is telling us here this Shimon
is not Shimon this is this is exactly
this is one of the
people
that was the rabbi of the rabbis of that
was able to see see the Torah at all
times like you see a movie like you see
each other he sees the Torah he doesn't
need a book he sees it everywhere he
goes he sees it not like he imagines it
not that he remembers it he sees it when
you see something it's different than
when you remember it if I tell you
listen can you uh spell the word uh I
don't know um Moses from front to back
and then from Back to Front it'll take
you a little bit of time to s o e n you
I'll take you a little time to to do it
you can do it it's only a felter word
but you can do it but I'll take you I'll
take you a little bit to do it but if
you see the word it's two seconds you
say that's it two seconds cuz you see
it seeing the T at all times him writing
the T it's the same thing as somebody
else looking at at another
scroll and he was generation after
shimik so imagine who shimik
was
the page
39 says of shimik was so righteous so
extraordinary many many miracles
happened during his time and they name
different types of Miracles how every
yum Kip
would uh forgive all of am is and give
them different
signs the uh Scarlet ribbon Scarlet is
red uh that was tied to the horns of the
uh the heo that they would throw off the
mountain would miraculously turn
white to show that Hashem is forgiving
them forgiving their
sins uh the lamp of the manora uh called
the uh narid the Western lamp would burn
for 24 hours instead of only 12
hours he buried in
Israel so many many
miracles and one of the major Miracles
it says in page
79 is an extraordinary story historical
story between him and Alexander the
Great
after the
rash destroyed the BET
mikdash one of the prophecies we learned
that hasem wrote in the Book of
Daniel is that he
showed not only the end of times but he
showed him every single Kingdom that
would rise after
him and Daniel the Prophet Daniel
explained the dream
to he said no one will ever control the
world like
you Hashem gave you this gift in this
world that you'll have complete control
over the world no one will control the
world as much as you until the
mashia but someone that came close was
the one that right after him who
Alexander the Great Alexander the
Great until this day people that are
into war and uh you know great uh
General and uh commanders of armies
study his battle plans to this great to
this to this day so Alexander the Great
had extraordinary control over the uh
world and one day somebody comes to him
and he says listen there's this nation
that's
different there Jewish
people you should uh they're going
against
you they're going against you they don't
follow follow what you
say Alexander is already in war he's
already beating everybody else okay
let's go let's pull a stop in
Jerusalem so he
brings his thousands and tens and
hundreds of thousands of people
everybody to this little Jerusalem and
he's going there he's on the way there
and they come to Shimon and they tell
them
listen we hear that uh Alexander mdon
that's how you say it in Hebrew
Alexander the Great is coming here
with his whole
Army shim sadik so if he's coming let's
go meet
him not if he's coming let's go to war
let's go no he let's cry let's rip our
clothes no why what do we learn last
week from
and why were they called the men of the
great
assembly why the men of great assembly
because the page 69 says that they were
called great not because they were big
people not because of the knowledge they
had they were called great because they
were able to see
good in the worst of
times they were able to see hashem's
greatness the
despite despite the Holocaust that was
happening meaning they got to the
ultimate level of all the that people
teach today source
and so
shimik was with the last of them
complete he says okay Alexander mdon is
coming Alexander the Great's coming
let's go meet him
and he goes and
he he's on one side of the
mountain and then Alexander's on the
other side of the mountain it's night
they both rest both armies rest and then
next morning they meet at the
bottom at the
valley and as soon as Alexander sees
Shimon who's wearing his gown his cat
his crown like a king
he stops
everyone and Alexander gets off the
horse to everybody's
amazement he walks over to Shimon
sadik and he bows to
him now everybody's losing their mind
the king of the world the guy that
controls the whole world is bowing to
this
Jew if you like his uh Crown so much
just take it what are
you so
Alexander says to
everyone this exact
words he says when I go to sleep at
night every night I have the same dream
every
night and every night
I see in this dream
this amazing City and this
crown and a voice is telling me because
of
this you're winning all of the
wars and this is on his
crown so because of
him I'm winning all of the
wars so Shimon
befriended him and said listen and he so
he so Alexander said you know what I'm
here I heard you guys have
a place for your God to you know let me
put my statue in
there he doesn't know we i l idol
worship so but shim sadik was smart he
says listen if he tells this guy listen
you not have to put your statue inside
our bet mikdash guys going to kill him
and destroy the BET mikdash who knows
what he's going to do so what ises he
say listen
statue doesn't last doesn't last let's
do something better you have plenty of
statues everywhere let's do something
better want to make a decree that every
single boy that will be born this year
in all of the nation of Israel will be
called
Alexander after you so you're going to
have a whole lineage of people named
after you what a Cav instead of one stat
you can to have millions of people named
after
you and that's how we got Alexander
inside
Judaism that's how you have years ago
about 2,000 years ago little over 2,000
years
ago so Shimon was an extraordinary
person and it
says page
107 explains that when it
says it really means who
doesn't say like he was accustomed to
say but really it was he used to do
this from here we learn that
Shimon embody the lesson that he wished
to preach meaning that anyone that's
mentioned in this mishna it's giving you
a lesson he's not telling you listen
this is the stuff you should do you
should be kind you should should be this
you should be that no no this is what
they used to
do and you they're telling you this
because this is what's working for me
this is what you should
do they're leading by example anyone
that's ever going to have a chance to be
a leader whether it's a leader of a k
leader of a company leader of a division
leader of a team leader of anything if
you want to motivate
people rule number one is lead by
example if if you want people your
employees to show up on
time you have to be there too you can't
show up at 9:30 in the morning and
expect everyone to show up at eight I
know you're paying them I know that you
can fire them I know you can do whatever
you want but if you want people to be
excited to show up earlier you have to
be there early also I remember from my
mistake for my my business I used to
come in really really early and leave
really really late come in I don't know
6:30 in the morning and leave at one
o'clock in the morning but eventually
I started coming in a little later I'd
still stay late at work but it come in a
little
later and I started noticing that other
people started coming in later also even
though I was the boss they figured out
the boss is not home so how's he going
to know if I'm not home you understand
so you want a first rule of leadership
is you have to lead by example you must
lead by example you want to teach people
to lie you want to teach people mid you
want to teach them to not waste Ed you
want to teach them to keep Shabbat you
want to teach your kids to love Judaism
you want to teach your kids to learn T
you have to do it we had a sh in Arizona
about uh
parenting and I told people you know a
lot of people B you know contact me for
different reasons as I mentioned before
but one of the main issues that people
have is issues with
children kids are off the d a lot of
kids are off the D unfortunately
now it's not the case always but many of
the times the kids are off the D it's
the parents
fault not that the parents saying listen
buddy Shiva sucks don't go there anymore
they're not doing that they're paying
for the Sha $500 a month $1,000 a month
go Sadi go go go they're not saying
don't go the problem is the kid goes to
Yeshiva he has his little TI has his
little keeper
goes with his little Kash he's excited
to go to school sees his rebi wearing
black and white everybody's there he's
learning k whatever he comes home ABA no
ABA no TI ABA shorts and a
t-shirt IMA half
naked TV is on on Shabbat sometimes cuz
the game's on Shalom you don't want to
miss the game so in school sadik school
we're religious
home secular so what's the kid going to
do it's going to be like his
parents the kid will never choose his
teacher over his father will never
choose his teacher over his
parents because when he goes to
school he's looking at this teacher he's
like yeah this teacher this Rabbi it's
his job he gets paid to look like this
he gets paid to be black and white gets
paid to say all the things that he's
saying but my dad and my Mom they're my
Idols they're my role
models there's no way that they're wrong
it's just that this uniform that you go
to school TI and the keeper and
everything else that's for school but
real life must
be how my parents are living so if
there's religious in school but secular
at home the kid will end up being worse
than secular he'll be a confused secular
kid that doesn't know anything just goes
to public school doesn't know why why
he's even in the world
he doesn't know there's a difference
between him and a monkey he doesn't know
there's a difference between him and a
non-jew he doesn't know there's a
difference between him and anything else
in the world he thinks everyone's the
same every you know it's Kumbaya great
he's confused we show him some knowledge
he can do CH but a kid that grows up in
a confused house where he's religious in
school secular at home it's the biggest
torture in the world why because his
whole schooling
lifetime he's convinced that the
teachers of full of it why because
there's no way that the teacher knows
anything more than his ABA there's no
way even though the teacher does teacher
may know Tora teacher may be a but in
the kid's
mind AB
Superman they're
everything he's never going to pick
anyone over his parents in a normal
relationship he's never going to pick
them over over anybody so that means
that ABA Anda are always right and
everyone else is wrong unless they agree
with AB Anda so if AB Anda are secular
I'm going to be secular if AB Anda are
not wearing you know not wearing Jewish
clothes I'm not going to wear Jewish
clothes which means that that kid's
going to grow up thinking that the whole
religion is complete nonsense so he's
going to end up becoming a hater of the
religion much more difficult to help him
do chuva than someone who doesn't know
anything some Russian uh guy that uh was
not allowed to practice
Judaism and didn't know whether there's
a God or not
a guyy that's born that's raised in a
confused household very very difficult
to help him do CH possible we've done it
but much more work 50 times more work
can't compare the two it's like
comparing I don't know a human and a
monkey worlds of difference even though
it seems like it's it should be easier
because you know some
Tor the problem is the guy who doesn't
know Torah everything you give him is a
it's nice
sweet the other guy you teach him he's
like no I know he thinks he knows
everything
already thinks he knows everything so
what are you going to teach him what
knew you going to give him he knows
about Noah he knows about M knows about
everything so how you going to make him
do CH you have to must like take time
off of your life to like help these
people cuz a lot of people like this so
number one reason of some people that
are off the D is because of their
parents parents that want to live both
lives you want to live both lives then
just know that your kids are going to
have serious problems guaranteed not no
no no no no questions asked your kids
are going to have serious problems
they're going to have to do chuva one
day and anyone that's gone through chuva
I can tell you from experience it's a
nightmare it's very difficult to do
chuva at the end it's great but to go to
the process it's very difficult
everything you know is
wrong you think that Wall Street is
right you realize it's wrong you think
that your ethical behavior is right you
realize it's wrong according to the tah
you think that being with uh you know uh
Jews and non-jews is is right it's wrong
you think that all of you everything
that you think everything that you know
is wrong that's
chuva chuva is realizing that your whole
life is one big lie no not too different
from a convert big changes you have and
you have to change obviously if it's
wrong you have to change it if you're go
in the wrong dire Direction you're not
going to continue going in the wrong
direction
you're going to go in the right
direction
right listen I'm going from here to
Aventura I have to take I don't know I95
or something I don't know I use
navigation system I don't know anything
about directions this is a bad example
for me but anyway let's say I need to go
to aventur I have take I95 for I don't
know an hour all I know is distance and
time navigation
address I drive a little car I go into
my own little world whenever my
navigation system says you're here I
know I'm here that's it I don't look
around I don't know anything but anyway
if then if I make the wrong turn which I
often
do it says you're
rerouting why is there routing because
I'm going the wrong direction so I have
to change navigation system is Mercy
from hasem on people like me CU knows
that for me I would continue going in
the wrong direction for another 50
minutes cuz I have no idea where I'm
going so when you realize you're going
in the wrong direction you must change
cuz it's
wrong I
Einstein got a lot of
credit for saying that this statement he
said the definition of
insanity is doing the same thing over
and over again and expecting a different
result you got a lot of credit for it
right
Einstein problem is that the gar already
said it 2,000 years ago
page
eight 8 six either six or eight I
believe it's eight definitely in the
first 10 pages
of says the same
thing says the same thing it says who is
crazy who is
insane and it gives you he says
someone that
walks in the middle of the night by
himself someone that goes to the BET to
the cemetery sleeps there and someone
that rips his clothes every time you
give him new clothes you rips them like
when some like somebody
died says well what if he
just does one of them what if he just
goes to the any one of them he's crazy
goes no no no no sometimes you can do
any one of them and with a real
reason for example somebody's walking in
the middle of the night because he's
going to Shi that he can only learn in
the middle of the night or he's going to
I don't know he's going to do like Amos
in the middle of the uh forest in the
middle of the night who knows sadik he
has a purpose for it just because he's
walking in the middle of the night
doesn't mean he's
crazy or someone's going to the BET
someone's going to the cemetery maybe he
has doing it like RAB galinski you guys
remember the story from last week rab
galinsky did I tell you guys the story
of
galinsky of galinski one of
the Giants of the generation just died
not too long ago some years ago uh and
uh he was a big kiru
Rabbi lot of amazing stories about
him
he says that uh he came from the yes of
the
sa
sa was one of the students of R
isant the one who
started the musar movement which was not
the musar started 200 years ago it's
just that before that we softened up on
M so anyway so galinski
says his Rabbi was one of RAB
students it's like we were taught that
if you want to get closer to Hashem you
must do you must have self-sacrifice you
must do things that are out of the
ordinary so as a student I knew that I
need to do these things so one day I
think to
myself I have to work on my I have to
work on my you can't just live in this
world without fear of hem
says the beginning of wisdom is fear of
hem meaning if you have no fear of hem
you have no you can't say that you have
any wisdom whatsoever the beginning once
you have fear of hem now you call
yourself okay you have a little bit of
wisdom just the fear of hm is wisdom
everything else is extra but everything
that you know without fear of hem is
worthless that's what is saying
here soinski says I have to work on my
so as an as a young student say how do I
work on my it says in the if the Satan
comes to you makes you makes you want to
sin
say if that doesn't work learn learn to
if that doesn't work think about the day
you're gonna die okay do every day twice
and then before
the learn learning all day but sometimes
I don't feel maybe I don't have enough
so how could I really think about the
day I'm going to die let me go to the
cemetery but not only go to the cemetery
but go to the cemetery in the middle of
the
night and dip in the mik of where they
wash the dead
bodies he says just the wind the wind
the sound of the wind in the cemetery at
night he says almost gave me a heart
attack so scary
so I go to the cemetery in the middle of
the night I say okay I'm going to get to
this
mik where they wash dead bodies I'm
going to take off my clothes really
really fast jump in the M jump out and
go that's it I'm done at least I did it
this is tells the story so he goes takes
off his clothes really fast can't see
it's dark it's not like today million
dollar M complete darkness a hole in the
ground takes off his clothes
jumps in the his complete fear jumps in
the water and he feels like he's
stepping on a body he says and at that
moment I lost Consciousness he passed
out but then as he passed out he falls
into the water and the water wakes him
up he gets up out of the water and the
body comes out of the
water and who does he see one of the
other came from the
col also had the same
idea so then ra galinski says and then I
knew that it's not only that I have to
work on I also have to work on my
ga us we just just for the idea of going
to the cemetery we're already thinking
that what for having the idea not for
going to the cemetery having the idea to
go to the cemetery you think oh you know
what maybe I should go to cemetery on
Tuesday or Wednesday just by having the
idea I'm like what a sadik I am I'm
going to go to cemetery he went to the
cemetery and he did what he did and he's
saying no no I don't have to only work
on my I have to work on another mid what
on
Pride what Pride do you have you're
sadik oh he says why did I think that I
was the only one that's going to have
this genius idea of how to build by
going to the cemetery of course somebody
else is going to have the same idea who
do I think I
am you understand what the midot is you
understand you understand what somebody
sadik really
is so here it
says page 107
B really
means he was accustomed to say really
means he was meaning he was whatever he
says on three things the word the world
uh on three things the world is based on
meaning that when Hashem created the
world Rashi says the world was brought
to into existence only in
anticipation of the eventual fulfillment
of the three foundational principles
meaning that Hashem only created this
world for these thing three things to
happen if these three things don't
happen there's no purpose for the world
first one
to second one a which means service of
God not a at the store not working at a
store or some business a meaning a
servicing of God and the third one
is loving kindness and we'll explain all
three of them I don't think we're going
to get to the second Mish today we'll
just do this one
so first what does it
mean Shabbat page 88 a kazal says R
says that if is would reject the Torah
in Mount sa hasem would have returned
the world to
to would have returned the world to
where it was in last week's par complete
nothing destroy the world instantly so
when before am got to Mount Si all of
the Angels were petrified what if they
don't accept the tah what if they don't
accept the theah he's going to destroy
the world which means he includes them
also so everyone was
petrified but
then Rashi
explains that Hashem already had the
Torah in
mind from the first word of the
Torah if you guys remember I told you
guys about a video 17 minute video that
talks about the first verse of the T
it's a Hebrew video first verse of the
tah has a lot of you know endless wisdom
in
it but this is actually a
different that will add to what Rashi
says that I hand to
today rash
says the world was created for the sake
of Torah which is
called first or
primary and for the sake of the nation
of Israel which is also called first or
primary meaning that another name for
the Torah is
rashit beginning of wisdom the the first
thing was the Torah rashit and another
name for is rash they're the they're the
chosen
people so rash says that again the Torah
is named rashit and the
uh is called rashit but the first word
in the Torah
is meaning there's a bet there's another
letter
which means
init so I thought something to not it's
not not a breakthrough or anything but
it's something that's really interesting
is that so it means so here it
says in the Torah or in Israel beit so
in essence you could say beit or in the
Torah because he says Rashid means Torah
and also means Israel so in Israel so in
the
Torah you will
find the blueprint of the
world because hem according to kazal
hasem looked into the
Torah and then created the world it
wasn't the opposite it wasn't that he
created the world and then he created
the Torah the Torah was created 974
Generations before he created the world
with black fire on White Fire and he
used the Torah as a blueprint for the
creation meaning he looked at the Torah
and he says okay there is a mitvah
called Shabbat so I will make seven days
a week There's a mitvah of so I will
make a human body have the ability to
have there's a mitvah of kosher so I'll
make animals that are Kosher and animals
that are not
Kosher meaning he looked at the Torah
and the T and from that he used as a
blueprint to create the world not the
opposite
so
means um but inside the Torah inside the
Torah is where this blueprint of the
world is and in addition to that bit
meaning in Israel in Israel you will
find this Torah the only nation that
actually follows the Torah is Israel so
that was something that I thought was
sweet hopefully I explained it good
um so first thing we have to understand
is that when Hashem says the Torah he's
saying here something very very
important he's saying that this Torah is
the only only purpose of this
world it's not that people are the
purpose it's not that the uh GED is the
purpose it's not the end being the
purpose or the beginning being the
purpose the whole purpose of the world
is for the Torah if the Torah is being
practiced IED followed and learned the
purpose is being fulfilled and the
signature of the Torah in order for the
Torah for us to know that the Torah is
the same Torah Hashem signed one of the
uh signatures of the Torah or synonyms
for the Torah is emit meaning truth
Torah can never
change this is one of the confusing
confusing things that people have when
it comes to other religions and they
think that it's the same with Judaism
where if in their religions if they
don't understand
something they say oh you just have
faith just believe you don't understand
it's okay you don't believe just it
doesn't make sense though yeah just
believe it's okay what do you mean
that's okay it's not it's not okay
fors this is contradicting this here he
saying he's black here you're saying
he's white it can't be
both here you're saying that the
uh is in one location here he saying
it's a different location here you're
saying there Yakov came to Egypt with 70
people here you're seeing 75 there's
contradictions it can't be both can't be
both
right in their religion like no just
have faith just have faith in our
religion is no such thing there's a
stamp called imit there's a single
truth and even in a time that
there's somebody's that knows a little
bit of Tora say wait a minute but
there's plenty
of where the sages disagree as
one guy says this one guy says this so
how could how could and they don't come
up with an
opinion uh it's there's PL there's
plenty of places where the end of the
when they come up with the they say take
meaning they're both okay there's no we
don't know which one is more right than
the other but they're different
opinions meaning they're both
right even when it's a different opinion
they're both right
so there are places where there's
multiple
answers but there's no such thing as
there is no
answer so the Torah has to stay the pure
Torah that it always was and in order
for it to stay pure in order for it to
stay em we have to know where it came
from which is what we learned in last
week's
Shield came from M Mount Si and so on
all the way
so it's very very important for us to
know where it came from so the stamp of
the stamp of Truth is very very
important that's why in today's
generation where people have a very easy
time just changing rules and modernizing
them you know modesty is no longer valid
because no one's modest anymore so why
do I need to be
modest Shabbat is a different type of
Shabbat people drive to Sho with no
problem no problem whatsoever they drive
to sh with the
keep everything they there's some people
that drive to nits on chabbat they go
pray extra early in the morning because
it's supposed to be a
big they're extra stringent on
themselves not to pray with the rest of
the world at 8:00 or 9:00 in the morning
they go pray at 5: 5 in the
morning but instead
of thinking for themselves listen
Shabbat is one of the Ten Commandments
going in the synagogue is not a Ten
Commandment
you're not obligated to go to synagogue
it's good to go to synagogue it's to go
to synagogue but it's not bigger than
Shabbat but they don't think about this
so what do they do like no no no Moses
didn't drive on Shabbat because he
didn't have a
car so I drive on Shabbat cuz it's
besset
is 15 miles from my
house how am I going to get to besset
you want me not to go to beet yeah don't
go to Bessa or move you cannot drive on
Shabbat under any condition there's only
one condition you're allowed to drive in
Shabbat one condition if someone's dying
if you are dying or someone else is
dying you're trying to save their life
it's you're allowed to drive on Shabbat
it's a to drive on Shabbat to drive the
ambulance on Shabbat but does not mean
that Shabbat is over it just means that
Shabbat is being put on hold until
there's no more life risk meaning if
you're let's say for example Shalom but
if it happens so you know the
the Practical put it in practice if
someone is in life
danger and you have to take him to the
hospital then you drive to the
hospital as soon as you arrive at the
hospital the doctors come
out to take the patient out as soon as
the doctors have a hold of this
patient you are back in Shabbat that
moment
meaning you can't turn off the
car you can't go park it you can't go
home over can't do nothing you have to
stay at the hospital until Shabbat over
no Uber you can't drive maybe it's
better got the Uber inste go drive
yourself why is it better you're still
viting
Shabbat know it's less why is it less
why you you call a phone it's violating
Shabbat right Uber doesn't come by
itself and you get to click on it 15
times before the Uber comes so every
time you're violating Shabbat on top of
that you go in a car where you you're
violating Shabbat what if the driver is
Jewish you're making him sin also you
have plenty of plenty of violating of
Shabbat and then on top of that is
because everybody thinks oh wait look he
driving Uber on Shabbat the guy with the
black hat and the beard now what Uber no
you stay exactly where you are you go
you stay at the you stay at the
hospital you have to keep Shabbat at the
hospital you cannot leave what happens
to the car tell them just leave the
leave the uh Keys over there and tell
them listen I can't park it give him
somewhat of a hint that you can't drive
it and eventually they'll get the hint
and somebody else is going to park it
for you cuz you can't leave it where it
is so that's you have to understand
Shabbat it's not that life is more
important than Shabbat Shabbat is more
important than life but you're allowed
to break Shabbat to Save a Life why
because if you break Shabbat to Save a
Life that life will be able to keep many
more
Shabbat any to sa break Shabbat to save
a go can allow to break Shabbat to save
a doctor that is a uh gets a call to
Save a Life whether it's a or it's a
or it's a Jew must go and save a
life These
Times all times we don't do that we
still what so say somebody's going you
know this time we saving it for avoiding
Dei no no it's not like that you if you
if you if you are a
doctor and they call you they say listen
you have to go you know you're a heart
surgeon or something like that you have
a patient that is a non-jew and you have
to save him you have to go save him
because if you don't save him then not
only it's not about creating
anti-Semitism only it's that you're
going to create major problems for the
Jews where they say okay so you guys
don't save our life on Shabbat so we're
not going to save your life on Shabbat
CU there's plenty of doctors that are
not Jewish also you look at the Jews
like oh no we don't work for you on
Shabbat
die so they're also aem's Creations
there's no you have to save their life
also there's no questions asked it
creates also so you have to you have to
know when to use it point being is if
you already have that job of being ad
you have to know all the there's plenty
of times where doctors make mistakes I
have two people that um that I know that
are doctors one guy is a dentist and one
guy is a different type of doctor I
don't know yet uh and uh both of them I
know have violated Shabbat because they
don't know this Al clearly one guy
thinks that just because he's a dentist
he's allowed to answer phone calls from
his patients not allowed to answer your
phone calls from your patients you're
not saving that life as a dentist my
friend if someone has a toothache to
that extent that it's causing them a
life risk they should call 911 not their
dentist okay so dentist not allowed to
answer phone calls unless you're like
some type of major oral surgeon where uh
your surgeries are a uh you know a uh
there is a that says that certain types
of toothaches are a life danger but it's
not just uh his uh you know his gums are
bleeding or something something serious
so so dentists cannot
default uh to pick up the phone or do
anything on Shabbat and then other
doctors uh that let's say it's a heart
surgeon brain surgeon or any other
surgeon that goes and Saves a Life again
like I said as soon as there's no longer
life danger Shabbat is back on meaning
he can't come back home unless he walks
he can't drive home oh listen I finished
they call me at 9:00 in the morning I go
I save the guy's life it's 10:30 I still
have the rest of shab let me go home
have Shabbat with my family have k no
you can't come home unless you
walk you can't go back in the car says
okay I finished my job okay you finished
your job but that means Shabbat is back
on you can't justify violating Shabbat
at that point just to go there's no
reason uh for you to violate Shabbat you
know because you're not obligated to
have um K with your family you're not
obligated to go to sh you're not
obligated to have a big soda to keep
Shabbat so that's the thing that people
don't understand when they don't know
the specific they start creating new
rules and one of the major foundations
of the Torah is that there is a there is
a single truth there a single truth you
can't just create laws because it's not
convenient for you anymore or because
you think that you know it's not
relevant anymore because we're in a
different stage unless there's poim of
current gener Generations that are
taking it on themselves to say there's
something right there that's no longer
valid you can't do yourself and no pek
in current generation could ever say
that a previous pek is
wrong that's also one of the rules of
the Torah so unless it's not possible to
do a Mitzvah likee you can't doot
anymore you can't do sacrifices anymore
so it's not that it's not relevant you
can't do it if we have bet mikdash
tomorrow they buildt better mikdash
brings it from
shim already set he doesn't have to hire
any construction companies already set
comes from
shamim first day you have to bring all
theim and have to start doing which by
the way is something really cool anyone
that uh doesn't know there's actually a
um school
for they're teaching him how to work
inash can there's a school in Israel
teaching
theim uh how to uh do the service in the
uh in bet
mikdash and um what is it called it's
called the temple in no something
Institute um I think it's called Temple
Institute something like that it's uh
really really
amazing uh and they're actually try
they're looking for anyone that's really
a Coen to come and learn because soon as
the bet
mikdash is
built they have to go to
work you have to go to work so first
thing is meaning that know that the
Torah stands on one thing truth if
there's no truth there's no Tor next
thing is a service of God now as we just
heard there's no way of us doing one of
the main things that they're referring
to in regards to service of God
isot doing the sacrifice but we can't do
sacrifice anymore but as we learn uh
from uh the prophet OA is that once the
BET mdash was
destroyed our prayers replaced our corot
our sacrifices so we no longer have to
do sacrifices that some people
especially when they're not Jewish like
Christians for
example see this as a problem see this
say see see this this rule in your Tora
you can't do sacrifices anymore so that
means that all of your rules are not
valid if your rules are not valid if one
of them is not valid and all of them are
not valid they just decide by default so
that means that
our JC guy is right that he said that
you don't have to follow anything all
you got to do is just believe in him and
you do whatever you want you could be
Adolf Hitler kill 25 30 million people
believe in JC you're good say you have
to believe in him or they made it up
they made it up they say he said
it it's all it's all nonsense either the
way he said he actually he is quoted in
his book I think it's the Book of
Matthew chapter 17 I think he says that
he uh I didn't come here to uh go
against the Torah I came here to fulfill
it anyone another place it says anyone
that erases even a single
UD from the tah is cursed from is cursed
from Heaven forever so he said certain
things that are for the Torah that he
came to fulfill it the problem is that
he's quoted elsewhere as saying that
he's bigger than the toah he's bigger
than Shabbat when they questioned him
and rebuked him saying how could you let
your students uh violate
Shabbat and he says I'm bigger than
Shabbat so there's a lot of
contradictions inside the book the
reality is the whole book is fake so
don't take anything what it says to into
memory or remember anything I only
remember it because I have debates with
people but don't waste a second of your
time learning that stupid book it's full
of mistakes and I'll just taint your
mind I wish I didn't know all the
information that I know but the point
being is that I need to know it for what
I
do you have no reason to Know It uh it's
good to know it if you if you have
debates you have people on your life
that you need to debate and it's good to
know it I would recommend
buying the uh series by Rabbi tovia
singer called let's get
biblical he's an extraordinary
extraordinary in T and he actually knows
the New Testament and the Quran better
than anybody else in the world he he
could quote you the verses by heart
better than any priest Reverend Pastor
or anybody he's amazing but he this is
what he does point being is that the
Christian is saying listen since you
can't do that cancels out your entire
oral Tora that's what they have a
problem with they a problem with our old
T they say listen you can't do
sacrifices you see there's a mistake
wrong one of the things that they don't
know is even though they read our T they
read our Psalms they consider Psalms as
like one of the major parts
of
Christianity they love Psalms they love
King
David so the problem is when you don't
read it with Jewish
commentary you don't understand anything
not just Psalms anything in the Torah
because it's the holy language unless
you speak the holy
language you won't understand theat but
unless you speak Sage language which
means you have KES
you're not going to understand what he
says so in Psalm
51:18 when King
David
is asking for forgiveness from Hashem it
says for you do not desire sacrifice as
an Ascent offering you do not you do not
want
meaning that he's saying that um your
main King David is saying here sacrifice
was not
exactly your main objective here
repentance is your main objective for us
to do chuva is your main objectives but
since for the sin that I I made it was
an intentional sin so sacrifice is not
even valid for me anymore I can't even
use sacrifice you can't have a sacri if
someone has let's say
the uh theban the sacrifice for a sin
it's not for a sin that you did
intentionally if you drove on Shabbat
intentionally you can't bring a
Corban it's only if you turn on the
light by accident by as a reflex that's
when you're allowed to bring a Corban
you can't bring a Corban for an
intentional sin you can only bring a
Corban for an unintentional sin if you
drove on Shabbat they kill you you death
penalty it's unintentional sin that
you're allowed to bring a Corban as part
of of repentance so King David is saying
here in Psalm
51:18 you don't desire the
sacrifice the offering you don't
want now that I cannot bring a sacrifice
King David says Lord Hashem open my lips
that my mouth May declare your praise
meaning the only way I can do Chua is
through my prayer meaning that the
prayer is actually even higher than
theb your you go to you pray at home you
pray at night you go before you go to
sleep you do e b your prayer is more
valuable than a th
kote but if you pray with kavana if you
pray while you thinking about the uh I
don't know New York Cubs what are they
called Chicago Cubs Chicago Cubs they in
some baseball some World Series right
now for first time in 70
years so I'm the only one that uh knows
this cuz I saw it in some headline so uh
point is if you are thinking about the
Cubs or you're thinking about the uh
some basketball team or you're thinking
about the elections or you thinking
about Hillary going to jail or you think
about you know all of these things then
you have a problem your prayer is buiss
it's worth
nothing the election got everyone crazy
though they just needed the ex the
election as an excuse to be crazy they
were already crazy before the
election anyway the point is that the
point is that it's a someone needs to
understand that your prayer if it's a
real prayer it's bigger
than bigger than
corot last but not
least and upon acts of loving
kindness
so
here we learned there's a big difference
between charity
and they both sound the same to most
people they both sound like you're
giving away something but charity you
can only give to someone that's poor
whereas you can give to anyone poor or
Rich because is not only money sometimes
it's money but more than anything
sometimes it's time
effort
but is overwhelming kindness meaning
above and beyond the standard that's why
someone's called Aid a realid is not
some guy that wears a black and white
and has a funny looking beard a is
someone that does above and beyond
what's expected from hasem you have Al
he does above
Al you have standard he's above he does
things above and beyond what's necessary
and what's required of him he's
Aid
so one of the uh
things that will help somebody
understand what is is
the you shall love your fellow your
fellow as yourself in the Book of
Leviticus chapter 19 Verse
18 it
says now most people understand this is
that wrong they understand that you
should love your your fellow your fellow
Jew just like you love
yourself this would mean that no one is
able to fulfill this
Mitzvah that's a problem hem would not
put a Mitzvah in our Tora that you can't
fulfill the Torah is not in the sh the
sh the Torah is not far away from
you you don't have to climb a mountain
to go get the Torah meaning that
everything that's in the Tor has to be
natural for you to do easy for you to do
all it requires is desire so if you tell
me listen I have to love every fellow
Jew just like I love myself I already
failed that's it I'm guaranteed gay I
could lose complete momentum and leave
everything
already but that's not the Mitzvah
that's not what the Torah
says if I'm required to love every Jew
like I love myself I can't
succeed
can't what does it really say
and you
loved for your fellow like you Le means
for meaning you cared enough about your
fellow Jew that you want for him to have
what you want for
yourself to love him like I love myself
that means that his life and my life are
worth the same to me it's completely
false if I have to save one of our life
I'm going to save my life especially if
I don't know him it doesn't matter to me
that he's a
Jew you're telling me that every time
you see some Jew unless he's do and
everybody knows him it's your fellow Jew
that both of you you have an option
somebody has to fall off a mountain you
say no no no fellow Jew let me jump off
and give you room nobody's goingon to do
that but that's not the mitvah the mitv
is that you want for him what you want
for yourself
meaning you want to be successful so
when you hear that somebody else
succeeded you're like
ah good for him you're not one of these
people that eats their heart where he
sees the neighbor got a new car he's
like honey can you believe it they got a
new car where did they get the money
from how do they have a car and they
also got a new house and they're doing
remodeling where are they getting the
money from all jealous eating yourself
up because somebody else got something
good then they key the car oh then they
key the car it's actually a good story
it's a good story it's funny story but
it's a good story show you of what
happens when somebody has serious
jealousy
and or anger so there was one guy that
uh somebody would constantly block his
parking but not block it completely they
would like have a little bit of their
the back of their
car in his area where he was going to
his
driveway so he would put a sign and a
sign everybody would ignore
it so one day
he comes home from work he's beat he's
tired and what does he do not only is
some someone is not even parked blocking
his way someone's
INRI his
driveway in his
driveway now he used to work for a uh
cement company so he would come home
he'd has this huge
truck it's like okay you want to park in
my parking spot fine he turns the truck
around and he pours all of the
cement on this car in his
driveway says that's going to teach him
not to not to park in my
driveway so he comes home all happy with
himself that there cement on this brand
new
car opens the door surprise happy
birthday ABA what do you think of the
brand new car we got you
I got a few people told back in New York
they were blocking my
driveway and like it was a clear sign
24/7 no parking and I couldn't get out
so I had a few people told is that
kosher or did you triy to reach them I
didn't know who they were and I had to
leave Goodland and there's a sign 24
hours not the park there they talk CU it
was 12:00 at night I'm not going to
leave I mean listen it's a uh uh if they
were Jews they were not Jews when the
time was I can't tell you off the cuff
uh you know what happened there wasn't
there I don't know where you
live is a problem to go tell on somebody
is a problem especially if it's a Jew
blocking your space locking your space
fine you still can't go to the cops you
have to go to bed first it's the towing
company they're going to pay us more
that's law the the the towing company is
following the
law it's not it's not e it's not it's
not a clearcut yes and no so he doing
for parking there too then you can't
leave if he's doing it intentionally if
he's not doing intentionally if he's a
Jew if he's not a Jew if the sign was
clear if the sign wasn't clear one of
them was my neighbor he just thought
that I wasn't going to leave after that
time okay so if it was your neighbor
that means that you knew who it was
which means you could have knocked on
his door who it was but I used to see
that card all the time it was a building
relevant if you knew it was your
neighbor that means you knew who it was
that means you knew that you could knock
on his door which means that you called
the cops to tow his car because you
don't like him not because you are in a
hurry you got your
answer
so you love your fellow meaning you love
your fellow to have you want your fellow
to have just what you want for yourself
you see somebody getting a brand new car
be happy for them get somebody to have a
brand new wife be happy for them you see
somebody have brand new anything good
things good fortune
you should be happy for the world not
someone that's eating his heart just
because somebody has what you don't have
as a matter of fact someone that has
jealousy it's a form of by the
way it says that someone that dies with
jealousy in his heart will not be will
not come
up
in why because jealousy is a partial
it's actually it's a little bit of
heresy against theem why
because if you're saying if you're
jealous of somebody then what you're
really saying if you think about it you
rationalize you break it down he has
something that you don't have and you're
not okay with it right that's what
jealousy is he has something that you
don't have and you're not okay with it
which
means he has something because hasm gave
it to him and he didn't give it to
you which means that you believe that
hasm should have given it to you and not
him which means you believe hasem made a
mistake that he's
limited you are now a
c you understand jealousy is a very very
bad thing aside from it's bad for your
health and it's bad for your mind it's
bad for your too so very very important
to know that having jealousy
is something you have to work on really
really hard to make sure you don't have
it and by the way that in regards
to I heard from one
of Genius Rabbi anyone who doesn't know
him should listen to him even though he
speaks only Hebrew many of his lectures
are now being translated with subtitles
to English so you should definitely
listen to
his so to summarize all of
it here we see something
extraordinary we see that the lineage
the history is important from the first
Mish even from before the first mishna
where hasem says you know there's a
famous M we have in a
um which is not really part of
the but it's something you say before
you start each Mish each of Israel have
a share of the world to come and then it
talks about who is this Israel well then
you see it's Moshe got the Torah from
SII then he gave it to Joshua
Joshua gave it to the elders and we see
that there is the Heritage and the
lineage and how it was transferred from
generation to generation and then that
last generation
of the men of the great assembly was
given uh the last one was shimik and he
told us that without the am of the Torah
without the uh hard
work working for hem and without loving
kindness true loving kindness which is
doing things that are above and beyond
your calling this world has no
purpose and this all connects with what
we read in the beginning about
Noah this week's
par hasem May destroys the world but
promises Noah that I'm not going to
destroy the world and I'm going to keep
my word even though I have a reason to
destroy the world in the Tower of Babel
I'm not going to destroy the world
because I gave you my world even though
I have a reason to destroy the world
every single time you see a rainbow
outside that means that hasem is saying
I want to destroy the world but I can't
cuz I'm keeping my
word I can't CU I'm keeping my word I'm
not doing it because I'm keeping my word
so if I who I don't have to answer to
anybody doesn't have anybody to answer
to he could destroy the world we
wouldn't even know we we going to go
through with complaints hey hm you're
not to destroy your own world and tell
what to do with his
stuff it's his it's his to destroy it's
his to build it's his to do whatever he
wants who are you you're not even going
to exist when he destroys it what's
what's the what's the what's the
question here he says I'm not destroying
the world because I I'm keeping my word
so know that you first of all must keep
your word and one of the
things that is the foundation of my
entire Tor is the important of keeping
your word is the importance of sticking
to the truth sticking to the doing
things that we've already agreed to
do Generations ago because if you don't
do
it there a big
cost there a very very big cost
now when
someone understands the foundation of
Judaism they understand that all
of is responsible for one another
everyone's responsible for one
another so if we were all on a
boat and one of us
decided you know what each one of us has
our little Suite on this
cruise and I decide you know what guys I
want to pull inside my room so I'm going
to make a hole in the bottom of my room
you're all going to knock on my door say
hey hey crazy guy no pool you make a
hole in the ship water's going to come
in goes if I tell you guys listen mind
your own business my
room it's my room I'll do whatever I
want in my room no no you can't do
whatever you want in your
room because you make a hole in your
room the water's going to come in it's
going to sink all of us
the ship we're all on the same ship am
is all on the same ship whether you like
each other you don't like each other
it's irrelevant he's yemenite he's asazi
he's Safari he's this one he's that one
he's a convert he's not a convert he's
tadik he's a rash it doesn't make a
difference all of us are on the same
boat my friends which is the last part
of this Mish if you're going to fulfill
this then you must fulfill the two Parts
you must work forem you must work very
hard and you must do and as we've
learned in previous the highest level of
is doing doing getting people to
do giving somebody a right to the
hospital giving somebody before
Shabbat you're not going to G for that
my
friend good job you get two thumbs up I
don't know you're probably going to get
get you know some reward at some point
but GED you're not getting forgiv
somebody when they're talking
about they're not talking about just
doing something nice you gave the guy
you gave the homeless guy
$5 means go out of your way do something
above and
beyond to get other people to do chuv
arrange give CDs out sponsor C CDs uh
give lectures yourself do something to
get other people to do CH send them if
you don't have any money you could send
links send YouTube videos you have to do
something above and beyond why because
this em that we started the mishna
with it doesn't get
to the end of the mishna
without doesn't
get you don't go from Tora the of the
T in order to go from T to in the middle
meaning you have to work for
it is not supposed to be
easy hasem is showing us rainbows on a
regular basis because he's telling you
listen I want to destroy the world but
I'm not so I have to keep my word but
give me a
reason give me a reason to keep this
world
going
so we have another tomorrow night in
Miami we're going to go over the other
Mish
anos which we're going to talk about the
opposite of what we talked about today
so anybody that wants to go to sh it's
going to be a completely different sh
completely different
Mish of what
happens when things go
wrong meaning when the
EM has a little bit of stinky Li in
it and that's what happens in tomorrow's
Mish tomorrow
last but not least good news bash and
then to let you guys get some
rest is bashem we have amazing news CD
number two just came out so anybody get
yourself a copy we got our first
shipment today we're working on getting
a lot
more CD number one was a big success
send it this all over the world uh
thousands and thousands of copies people
call me and text me from all over the
world how this C change their life
personally I think CD number two is 50
times better than CD number
one much much better A lot better
lectures the personal stor is much
better theim much better you know you
get better with time I think with with t
especially uh better better
insights uh 30 hours of lectures on each
one but either one both of them have
different things that could uh help
either one where uh I'm also working on
like a package to send both of them
together and a nice
packaging um so sponsor CDs give them
out they're only a doll for 30 hours
people spend $5 $20 on junk some I don't
know some R&B or some other music they
spent $20 for something that's going to
help people go to Gom $1 can help them
go to
ganeden so you have to understand these
CDs they help people get them out get
them in front of people try to get as
many people as possible to uh listen to
this stuff stuff because again it's not
me it has nothing to do with me it's
just the
Torah anyone any one of you repeats the
same story you're going to get the same
results nothing changes this is what the
Torah of of of hasem actually when you
fulfill it is what happens and the last
part is something I've been meaning to
do for a
while these key roof packages that all
of you have gotten at some point or
another and many people that are
watching it these a lot of people ask me
this uh
fund that we have online we're trying to
raise uh 34 of a million
dollars uh donations for different
projects one of them being the KY roof
packages and another one is being for
the CDs to send out at least 25,000 CDs
a month all of this requires
money we're not at the stage of getting
MTH from Hashem yet uh so we still need
money uh and all of it costs money so
right now we're sending a lot of you
know one of the main things that we're
doing is we're sending
these Kyro packages to people from all
over the world literally from all over
the world I've sent it to India I've
sent it to uh Sweden
Bulgaria uh I don't know all over the
United States Australia M all over the
world and these Kyu packages are amazing
this why do I call Kyu packages because
it's the only package that I know of at
least that is a complete package that
can help somebody do chuva a complete
chuat to know from A to Z how do I get
started obviously you're not going to
it's once you go through this material
you're going need to get more stuff but
there's plenty of stuff here that you're
not going to find any other organization
that's doing and I'll give you an
example of what it is so first and
foremost you see this book this is a
very famous book by Rabbi zamir
Cohen it's called uh two names one of
them is science comes of age and another
one is um uh the coming Revolution they
just changed the name it's the same
exact book it's a book by Rabbi zamir
Cohen as I said he's one of is he's a
giant
bigad uh has a huge organization called
UT and uh unfortunately 95% of his work
is in Hebrew only but this is one of the
books that he translated to English
which is most of my crowd even though I
do some lectures in Hebrew also most of
my crowd is English English speakers and
here it's full of Torah proofs
scientific proofs written by
scientists that are not Jewish 99% of
the time but he shows you the source of
the sign proofs science proofs in a toah
so whatever science discovered whether
it's the number of stars in the universe
that was just recently dis you know
discovered uh less than 15 years ago in
2004 or it's that uh plants talk they
have they have feelings or it's that uh
there's different things in water and so
on there countless of proofs in it he
shows you that these scientists didn't
discover anything it's all written in
the Tor all written in the Torah oh and
just like I said in
the it talks about the uh person that
um I didn't finish that K the person
that is crazy person that's crazy goes
out at night goes to the bed or goes to
uh rips hiso
if he does something for a good
reason then he's not crazy but thear
says no but what if he does it just one
of them one of them what if he just goes
to the cemetery but he does it three
times so says if he does one of them
three times then he's crazy why because
if he he's doing it three times and
expecting a different result he went to
the cemetery three times and expecting a
different result which is exactly what's
what Einstein said the definition of
insanity is doing the same thing over
and over again expecting a different
result so this is already written almost
2,000 years ago so this book what I just
said is not a in this book it's that I
read in myself I never seen in a book
but
nonetheless it's many many more are in
this book so anyone that has doubts
which is many people in our
generation this book is great I mean
people can buy it online I don't know it
ranges from $30 to $70 online but this
is one part part of the package another
then we have this other stuff over here
uh we have these little cards so for
example this is like six
things that someone can do six mitv that
someone can do each day which is
thinking about Hashem six different ways
of thinking about Hashem is like a
reminder we have it in English and uh
Hebrew then we have different things
that help somebody understand with the
power of Amen from the uh this is from
the Center this is from uh a different
organization also from I think all yeah
I think it's also from but maybe
somewhere
else um then we
have CDs plenty of CDs when I when I
first started giving
out Kyro packages well before I started
giving lectures I started with doing
KY without lectures I used to just send
these packages out but when I first
started was just this book and a couple
of Rabbi m CDs now as you can see the CU
packages are much more extensive so we
have about a dozen different
CDs in here is another book this is holy
nation it's a book about how to guard
your bre how to not waste seed the
lecture that we had for three and a half
hours this is a book about it uh by the
breast LIF
Center uh there CDs my CD there RAB mrai
Torah and science there's about a
handful of CDs from RAB mrai there's a
uh a um Rabbi alava is in here there's
also Rabbi AI
weisenberg uh about watching your
eyesa science near-death
experience in three different languages
how to you know for women to keep T both
men and women need to understand how
important it is uh different you know
there about half a dozen different
rabbis aside for myself and this book
and I think there's a few other things
here uh oh
also someone that's you know the prayer
that you have in your outside the
bathroom that we have over there we have
the small one and also the big poster
that I gave many of you that goes in it
and then there's also a reminder there's
a uh stop talking in
SHO you can use this as a bookmark and
also amen also has a bookmark and a few
other cool things that are in it other
CDs and now we're going to have cd
number two in there and some other
letters and different things more
blessings uh point being is that the
package has hundreds of hours of tah in
it that you can learn anyone that's
seeking for the truth whether it's from
the amuna side the science side the uh
rational side whatever side you want
it's in here and it's nice scent in it's
nice little gift package because it is a
gift because all of it is free we don't
charge any money for it
so this has helped hundreds of people do
chuva why CU it's a complete package you
want to learn you're looking for the
truth that's all you need obviously
you're going to have to build on top of
your collection but the point is you
want to learn about what who God is you
have it in here you want to learn
scientific proofs you have it here you
want to learn emuna you have it here you
want personal stories you have it here
you want to learn how to watch your eyes
you have it here you want to watch watch
your bra all the foundational stuff to
get you to start doing chuva you have
it obviously you want to be sadik you do
more you start learning start Le and so
on but the point is you have hundreds
and hundreds of hours worth of sh in
here you have books you have writings
you have all types of things and all of
it is free and I also include my
business card because obviously my
personal story is in it and people are
fascinated by this card I just think
it's a good BG Mark you can use it for
that or whatever the phone number still
works all of it is free now it doesn't
it's not free it's free for them but
it's not free for us it cost for
domestic cuz it all depends on shipping
shipping unfortunately is very expensive
we use UPS because UPS is reliable
everyone else is not reliable so we want
this package to arrive I don't care how
much it cost so it ranges anywhere from
$95 to
$200 obviously when I the package I sent
to Bulgaria cost me over $200 the packet
I sent to Sweden cost me even over $200
the package I sent to another guy in
Florida like those five kids that uh
came to the breast center you or that I
all asked me for packages each one of
the package cost about 100 bucks $95
something like
that each one of them cost money so
we're sending right now an average of
about 15 a week which is about 60 a
month we're trying to get up to 250 a
month not 60 month why because there's 6
million Jews in Israel there's 6 million
Jews in America and there's others all
over the world and they all need to know
it we have to get there doing it small
doing it one at a time like I've been
doing for the last few years okay it's
great helps a few people do tra it's not
going to be
enough it's not going to be enough so
that's the package that people ask me
about so when anyone that's asking about
this package this key package that's the
package anyone that needs help wants the
package they can email me I'll send it
anywhere and uh try to help them at
least if it's reasonable if anyone can
pay for it themselves for their own
package that obviously would be great
but also for anyone that's looking to
sponsor anyone that's looking to do like
we we learned about this is a package
this is what it looks like this is what
it is you want to actually have
different ways of doing of doing you
have several different ideas here number
one best idea of all arrange a sh
arrange a lecture your house your
synagogue your place arrange a group of
people to come and have a Shure
I don't charge for my lectures I just
need people to sponsor CDs so I know
that the Torah is going to stay there
it's not just one sh people sponsor CDs
I'm more than happy to come they want to
give me donations that's how we
survive that's idea number one idea
number two CDs sponsor as many CDs as
possible so you can give them
out 100 500 1,000 2,000 CDs these things
go fast people like no I don't want to
get too many I only want to get 100 they
realize once they start giving them out
5 minutes you're done with 100 you go to
the supermarket you drop 25 you go to
another store another 2550 two three
places you're done with a 100 I go
through thousands every week I just got
5,000 they'll be done by
tomorrow thousands all over the place
people get them people pick them up you
go to mik you drop off 50 they're gone
by the end of the day it's an
interesting it's not just a uh nice
cover it's an interesting topic people
never saw religion and Wall Street on
the
page so put us through help to help
people do CH for a reason so you get
through you give people the CDs people
listen to these CDs they send me
messages they do chuva you bought
yourself the next World you give a th
CDs one person does
CH 10 people do CH even better 100
people a thousand people you do it on a
regular basis this is what you would
spend this is a smart investment for
someone wants to give them on a regular
basis to give these CDs out the best
thing is the ultimate Mitzvah I say
sponsor it and give it out but if you're
a very very busy person just sponsor
them I'll give them out for you I send
them out all over the world anyway I
could send them out for you that's
number two number three is to sponsor
curu packages you have a few friends you
have two three four five friends that
you want them to have these curu
packages whether you want them to know
that it's from you or not here tell me
for the here's $500 here's five packages
you have five people that can get these
packages they do CH they get these
packages it's nice it's a nice way to to
to resp respectable way it's not like an
Amazon package where it's like you have
uh you know it just looks like it just
came out of a factory you see it's nice
wrapping everything we put a lot of work
into
it it looks like a present cuz it is a
present or if you don't have friends
then we have plenty of people every
single day we send out packages every
time sometimes you guys come there's UPS
packages in the front that's what it is
is sometimes it's big boxes small
boxes that's number two number three is
send the lectures online to people
you're on Facebook already you're on
Twitter already you're already
there you shouldn't be there you should
be learning to instead but if you're
already on internet you're already on uh
Facebook you're already on Twitter
you're already on I don't know my
MySpace I don't know what whatever these
websites are take a link copy paste send
it to somebody put it on your page make
maybe somebody's going to watch it maybe
not it doesn't make a difference try
spend 5 minutes a day doing kiru you
guys have heard many many miracles that
have happened to people that help us do
CU one guy one Miracle after another I
told you guys this the the stories I
told you the stories CU is an
extraordinary
thing it's exactly kpta it's
unbelievable people are going through
Miracles every day every day I'm telling
you there's new Miracles I one woman a
husband they're going unfortunately
through a uh divorce the husband wants
to go to this big case wants to Bagan
wants to do all these things she does CU
she she says the next day after he said
all these stupid things of how he wants
to go to court and problems and this the
next day he called he says I'm sorry I
want
to I want to to give you whatever you
want I want to negotiate or just I don't
want to do everything I
said okay
PTA things change and also the opposite
happens too I have three stories that
are very scary but this is necessary to
tell people because of some people are
stupid enough to go against
kiru to go against kiru you want to do
kiru is the best investment in the world
you don't want to do kiru at least don't
go against it some people they don't
like what they hear they don't like the
truth they go against it like some
rabbis that I know or some Kim that I
know and they go against it and it's
very very dangerous so for anyone that's
foolish enough to go against it or make
a stupid comment about lectures and get
other people not to do CH just know that
it's also very dangerous it's not a
threat for me at all this is in the Tora
it's actually written
in says anyone that
goes anyone that does K is uh gets a
share of the world to come but anyone
that goes against
anyone that goes against the public they
don't let him do chva but what does it
mean they don't do chuva it's not just
they don't do he goes through hell so
I'll give you example there's three
different people that went against kiru
in the
last 14 months 15 months all true
stories not going to go into details
names none of that stuff matters but I
give you all three stories all true all
for me one one guy went against kiru got
cancered two months
later 2 months later he he was supposed
to arrange something he's the one that
stopped it got cancered 2 months later
he feels better now and hopefully he has
and gets a does chv but it's a problem
he thinks maybe has bad luck but it's
not a coincidence another guy supposed
to being a big
Rabbi to a place you didn't want to come
why because last time the rabbi came
they don't the K donated too much money
to him not that the rabbi put a gun to
their head and say listen you have to
donate the Kil chose to donate money to
this rabbi's organization because it's a
great organization they decided to
donate but this guy decided that no no I
rather that their money go to the Kaa
instead so you didn't want this Rabbi to
come I'm like yeah but the money is not
going to come to the to the Kaa if
they're not going to donate it to a
rabbi they're not going to donate at all
no no I rather him not like he rather
know
donations then go to somewhere else so
he stopped a huge lecture from
happening 4 months later 3 months later
had a child born the child didn't leave
the hospital for 6
months almost
died so that was Situation Number Two uh
what was the third one thir one was also
disaster but I forget what it is the
point is you get one of points
best thing do K worst thing go against K
so anyone that can contribute in any way
shape or
form do what you can because again it's
a uh even if you don't like uh not me go
with ra mrai I don't care it doesn't
make a difference to me just do
something because that's the point of
this
Mish the mishna is
Tora gets
to and if AEM is giving this world more
and more time despite the horror that
we're seeing around us this disastrous
election that's happening which amazes
me how this is the best we
have on both sides on both sides I don't
get into politics I don't follow
politics at all but people talk about it
non-stop I don't really
care I've seen that a few times people
think mashia this who knows who knows
who cares listen the point ofl I'll tell
you one thing about this politics stuff
first and foremost and we'll finish with
that and let you guys go home first and
foremost whoever becomes a
leader Hashem takes away his free
choice so no one needs to be angry at
Obama because Obama doesn't have free
choice just like we have two proofs in
the Torah or three one is took away his
free choice two
ISM took away his free choice a literal
verse in the Tora that took away his
free choice before he went to battle
with and three is also took away his
free choice at one point so anyone that
becomes a leader hasm takes away his
free choice whether it's Obama or it's
Clinton or it's Bush or it's I don't
know Osama who cares who it is Netanyahu
all of them they're all puppets they're
all ways for hasem to fulfill his will
so elections
meaningless but if you want to look at
the basics of it listen what do you have
here really
obviously you see that there's politics
are not run by
Logic they're not run by Logic and
they're not run by the
Torah on one end you have Trump that
listen he says things that are real I
appreciate his
honesty but he's a gaan he has more
Pride than you can
count is an extraordinary amount of
pride which makes him you know unlikable
for some people and very likable for
others that like that stuff the point is
it's it's it's a bad midan it's not a
you know it's it's a problem for someone
that has Gava so you have one guy as a
gaan you have one guy has a lot of Pride
thinks he's the greatest things in
sliced bread F problem is that the other
one's a
criminal you know the other one the
other one is a criminal so you have one
guy that's a gaan the other one is a
murderer so you know what I'm saying so
I mean what what what are you going to
pick you have hundreds of millions of
dollars whatever it is doesn't make a
difference the point is Hashem is going
to put whoever he wants in position
anyone that's getting crazy about who's
going to win who's going does make a
difference I think you said once that
there are people behind the president
who run the show it's not actually
president can can it's in can this world
there's plenty of people that actually
run the world that are much more
powerful than the president but in the
real world hasem runs the show nothing
happens unless AEM signs off on it a
leaf says a leaf doesn't fall off of of
a tree unless hem o it a leaf one leaf
one tiny leaf tree has millions of
leaves one leaf doesn't fall off the
tree unless hasem says okay you're
allowed to fall off you understand so
what do you think is anybody can do
anything unless hem signs off we think
Hitler did it because against
hem did it against hem n did it against
hem all of these people went against hem
what hm couldn't stop them no Hashem
allows them to do what they're doing
anyone that wants to have
salvation Salvation only comes from one
place it's
called and the way to do it the way to
fulfill his will is called the Torah any
questions amen amen
