FIXING OUR Dangerous Jewish Community PART 2 - MUSSAR Pirkei Avot (173‬)

[Music] for all the new people some old people um uh tonight we're going to continue our Series M our series we are up to 174 I believe today uh but this uh sh today is going to continue where we started the mishna last week uh talking about the dangers in our own Jewish communities that unfortunately sometimes fulfill the verse which the prophet says that your destroyers your ruiners will come from within you meaning that we are own Our Own Worst Enemy in so many words um unfortunately the uh anyone that digs deep into Jewish history um whether you want to go as far as back as 3,000 years ago when mosenu made a decision to uh bring some uh some uh fake converts uh without consulting Hashem like he usually does and they caused us trouble and continue to cause us trouble to this day uh or the uh 2,000 years ago at the BET mikdash where uh thear says that when did hasem decide to destroy the BET mikdash says before hem decided destroy the bet mikdash he said let me see if there's any way for this generation to do Chua see if there's any way to do Chua how are they going to do Chua where he's going to wake up one day and say you know what I'm going to start uh keeping I'm going to start putting uh you know becoming modest throw out all my clothes that not modest like like one of our students from uh Canada did today a bigem woman that watches our lectures already for the last few years M unbelievable km today she publicized that she's throwing out all of her uh clothes all of our Imus clothes that even though she already started doing cha already for years now still there was always this little amalik in the closet of all the clothes that she doesn't wear anymore but they're still there you know the the high heels and the uh you know e modest uh dress and the mini and the this one and that one and you know that's that's the uh Satan staying in your closet just in case you want to lose your mind and uh there's a Mitzvah of destroying Amal now since we don't know who the physical Amal is we have to look at our sages what way can I fulfill the mitz of destroying Amal now Amal has has a um gatria sa am has the same numerical value as the word saf which means doubt which is the primary job of Amal is to create doubt within is that's why even a Jew Amal even a Jew could be Amal why sometimes a Jew goes so far away from a that he decides that not only is he not going to follow the rules himself but he's going to get other people to stop following like this wicked person I told you people a few times about in uh New York that I met one time and he told me that he's very proud that he caused seven guys that went to Yesa to stop keeping Shabbat seven times so I told them now I know what kind of evil you are so when I pray every day three times a day I do Amid and I pray for hasm to destroy the the all of the evil people now I have kav I have your picture in my mind why that's that's what you pray for every day three times a day you pray for people like this to die you hope for them to do Chua before they die but if they don't do if they don't do Chua it's better off they die for all of and for themselves also and he even though this seems extreme this is what our Tor says this is what Tor says seems uh like Isis but this is what Tor says this is what says what says but in today's politically correct World very few people are brave enough to speak the entire Torah we're very very picky and choosy what we say what we don't say if we say this maybe people not going to come if we say this maybe people are not going to donate if we say this maybe this is going to happen we do all types of all types of math and accounting for which unfortunately is himself and that's what we have to understand that uh uh we have to understand that sometimes the biggest Destroyer is also your brother when saw the says that the generation of the first and the second bet mikdash had a bunch of giant rabbis huge giants one bigger than the other but unfortunately the average Rabbi decided to hide behind the closet when it came to rebuking people when it came to telling people keep Shabbat stop wasting seed stop looking at girls that are not your wife stop you know stop nobody wanted to do it so says meaning people don't have real to say the the truth they want to be politically correct so they because they want to be liked he says this way no one is ever going to do chuva and if that's the case I have to destroy bet mikdash why if I don't destroy the BET mikdash then they're going to destroy themselves there's not going to be anom the same thing happened before every one of the pgrs and inquisitions that we've had throughout history let us not think for a second that Hashem punishes for no reason or that the punishment came from the go like some decided to be Hitler one day he says oh I'm going to just kill a bunch of Jews he wanted to kill a bunch of Jews but the stamp to allow him to do it is always a so when anyone asks you where was God during the Holocaust there's only one answer every other answer is a lie a fabrication a political correctness there's only one answer where was God during the Holocaust my grandfather died in the Holocaust my grandmother died in the Holocaust my cousin this my everybody has somebody that died in the Holocaust we all hate it but the answer is where was God during the Holocaust the only answer is what do you mean where was God he pressed the button he's the one that did it the fact that Hitler imim and all of his followers hated Jews already made Hashem decide to make them the tool and they'll get get punished for it doesn't mean what they did is Right Shalom but the reality is that Hashem does everything he runs the world very precisely and anyone that looks at the history books and sees how am is was as far as religiosity at the time before the Holocaust unfortunately we were as bad as we are today in some parts of uh the world like like Germany for example there was over 80% sent assimilation eight out of 10 Jews would marry go eight out of 10 Jews meaning that we were one generation away from being wiped out no more Jews people think that the Holocaust is the worst thing that happened in the last 70 years because six million of our brothers and sisters died yes it's horrible but there is actually something that caused a lot more death not 6 million Accord according to statistics 36 million maybe even as much as 40 million 40 million Jews have died over the last 70 plus years because of assimilation because of into marriage because when somebody into marries the seed dies Judaism dies a woman marries a Jewish woman marries a uh non-jewish man yes her children technically are Lally Jewish but it's almost an impossibility for those kids to actually practice Judaism when their father is Christian or Catholic or atheist or um whatever he is they uh practice Christmas trees they practice all types of other stuff which means that if it wasn't destroyed with the mom it'll be destroyed with the kids meaning it's one maybe two generations away there's no more when the father marries a non-jewish woman when a Jewish man marries a non-jewish woman that's it that's the end of Judaism for him and this is actually one of the primary messages that the original founders of the zionis movement like helel and his friends try to preach to the people a destruction for Judaism they hated Judaism in fact herel it's known his son converted he converted his son to Christianity and he himself self had a uh dialogue with the Pope which is in his letters you could find him today it's available and uh saying that his primary mission is eventually to destroy Judaism by how by uh converting all of Amis to Christianity it's not for no reason that really religious people hate Zionism it's not for no reason it's not uh because we don't like BB Netanyahu we care less about BB Netanyahu care less about most of those people it's not about that it's about the ideology the ideology of Zionism is anti-jewish now that doesn't mean you hate is anyone that hates is has some something wrong with their brain that's where your brothers live your cousins live what if there was no is where is8 million Jews going to go where they're going to go to Saudi Arabia going to go to Dubai they're going to come to America you think they're going to let them in here so of course we have to be pro-israel but not pro Zionism but the problem is not Zionism the problem is not Christianity the problem is not Catholicism the problem is not even atheism even though all of those things are causing damage in no generation in history has Christianity been so aggressive at missionizing and trying their best spending over $300 million a year just in Israel alone to convert Jewish people equ to Christianity now $300 million for Americans doesn't sound like a lot of money why there's probably a few people down the street that are worth 300 million bucks it's probably minute it's probably a few people down the street are worth $300 million so when a whole move when a whole religion spends $300 million when it's the richest entity in the world it's like uh it's like you you know buying a donut for 50 cents nothing but when it's in $300 million is a significant percentage of the gross domestic product it's a significant percentage of the GDP of the economy itself number one tourist in is are Christians number one donors in is Christians unfortunately they're using their money to destroy us Catholics as well in different ways same ways atheism unfortunately results is you know from a lot of different places a few simple things that have caused Atheism in recent history is unfortunately bad rabbis cause a lot of damage Rabbi causes goes to the casino people see him in the casino and say oh if this is Judaism I don't want to I don't want to be Jewish why this is a joke or they see the rabbi going to all types of clubs or see the rabbi is stealing oh they see the RAB playing with little kids in a inappropriate way see you see Jewish people doing bad things not always a rabbi but everybody that's religious looks like a rabbi so that's one reason people excuse themselves to become atheist another reason is because they're so confused of what kind of upbringing they got they don't really know right or left and they just left distraught from frustrated and get to a point of carelessness say you know what whether there is a God or isn't a God eventually I'm going to meet them for now I'm living as if there isn't so they don't necessarily always call themselves atheists but they act like they are why they don't follow anything says but the biggest reason of all of why we have so many atheists and why we have so many Jews converting to Christianity is because of ignorance Ignorance by the people Ignorance by the rabbis Ignorance by the people that are supposed to learn how to live an appropriate Jewish life according to with the instruction set of the Torah and Ignorance by the rabbis that are supposed to tell them what to do and a big part of the reason is because unfortunately political correctness restrains people's speech but even more so their desire for this world now my Rabbi said a very interesting thing in today Shu he had he said how do you know if your Rabbi believes Ina how do you know if your Rabbi believes in no he teaches he says how do yeah okay he teaches fine but what does he teach what does he teach how didn't know he believed in he can tell you about till next year how do you know he believes what he says about he says if the primary message in this shu is that you have to change you have to fix yourself that you leave every Sho a little bit brokenhearted a little bit distraught a little bit Ah man I can't believe I got so much work to do I got to fix stuff I got to keep Shabbat better I got to watch my eyes I got to be nicer to my wife I got to be ni I got to do a lot of stuff if you leave the sh like that if he's rebuking you in a certain way in a privately whatever it is he's he believes in why because that's when that's going to count why because if he doesn't do it gets to sh and say oh how come all your students don't keep Shabbat how come all your students uh don't do anything that I said how come your students only do 10 % of what I said how come they don't even know how to keep how come oh you didn't tell them ah so you weren't worried about so then a uh someone ask well okay well what other option is there if he doesn't teach he doesn't rebuke so what he doesn't believe in no he believes in why because if he doesn't rebuke you then he has a different message what a different message gift why because is because he gets the benefit in in this world he likes this world he's worried about this world make sure you give we good in this world so it's important to know how do you know if somebody is a rabbi that you should listen to if he always calls you a sadik always like you never have to fix anything he's not a rabbi why because that's not the rabbi's job rabbi's job is to encourage you cheer you on but at the same time tell you you have stuff to do just like a boss if you work for a company if you ever worked for me when I was on Wall Street if you did what I said you'd become a Powerhouse you'd become a multi-millionaire if you didn't you get fired simple very simple equation but on the way to one of those destinations getting fired or becoming a multi-millionaire there was a lot of rebuke along the way why because my goal at least was for you to become a millionaire why because I have no interest in firing you why am I going to hire you to fire you it's a waste of my time I have to spend between $150 to $250,000 in every single employee just to get them to the promised land whether they get there or not it's not necessarily up to me it's up to them but either way I have to spend the money so I have no interest in spending 100,000 just to fire you so I have to get you to become a million so I get my money back but it's not it doesn't happen by itself so what happens I have to constantly tell you no pick up the phone no say this say that do this do that buy this buy that I have to tell you what I have to constantly fix you that's a boss that's a manager that's a person that wants you to succeed but if the person that's you work for just let you show up do whatever you want you're not going to survive in the company eventually either you fail or the company's going to fail or both why because people need a push the only reason why none of us drive 150 mil per hour on the highway is because there's a warning sign that if we do we're going to go to jail we're going to get a ticket we're going to go to jail we're going to have a lot of problems life risk all types of risks the only reason none of us drink poison even though sometimes it looks delicious is because we know we're going to die the only reason we don't do a lot of things is because there are warning signs those warning signs are part of life meaning that AOS designed the world where all of us are naturally scared of everything except him we're scared of everything in the world scared of sometimes little bugs scared sometimes of people somebody strange shows up you don't know who he is ah he looks different than me oh he acts different than me oh why is he wearing a hat oh why is he uh looking like me well kind of watch is that is that is that a gun oh no no that's just just his phone oh and we have all these questions in our head why somebody just showed up we're not sure who he is scared of people and the guy says hello in the English accent like oh he's a professor why because we assume that everybody has an English accent is a professor or something they naturally sound smarter we're scared of everything we're scared we're never going to find a we're scared we're to find a and it's going to be a bad one you know says bad woman bad wife is worse than G why G you know what you're in for with your wife you don't really know it's every day everyday news everyday news every day Wall Street Journal but the reality is is that we're scared scared of everything says in all is we're scared of everything except why because if he designed us in a way that we're naturally scared of a there would be no there would be no free choice meaning all of us will be all of us will be all of us will be perfect and there's no point to the world the point of the world is for us to acquire to acquire fear of so we could do what he says why would we want to acquire fear of a because he himself says without it it's impossible for you to serve me you can do certain things you can maybe uh have a B for your kid after all it's not your body part you can have a Jewish marriage after all what's the what's the big deal really you just brought a rabbi the rest of it is the same you can eat some kosher food today it's very accessible you can even go to sometimes they're interesting you could do a lot of things but it doesn't mean that you're afraid of how do you know if you're afraid of a if you're constantly thinking about I don't want to mess up I don't want to sin I don't want to look here I don't want to look there I don't want to eat this I don't want to eat that why not allowed if you're not constantly thinking of stuff you're not allowed to do you have no and that's a very dangerous place to be because without one test person breaks person breaks it's not going to be every day sometimes the will build a person make them feel like they're a important Rabbi important for 20 years make them give them no tests only small little tests that are nothing but I'll build them up make them feel like they're doing great they're finishing M they're learning they're teaching they're doing great one day after he built a reputation now he has 500 people coming to every class he's got CDs in every corner of the world he's got a channel here Channel there everybody knows everybody says the Z says that was the Satan himself building him why because he knew one day he's going to break him in one move what he's going to send him one of his students she's pretty and this guy never even thought about watching his eyes for 20 years you never got in trouble though because never had the opportunity but the one time the student a little 20y old student 25 year old student is looking at this 50 60 year old Rabbi it's like Rabbi you're cute he looks at her he thinks about his 60-year-old wife he says you know what I already spent enough time with her she had her share already honey you're too old for me we know what kind of this causes unfortunately this happens unfortunately it's happening now on a regular basis it's a story I'm not going to mention names story happening right now in is unfortunately in a community that's actually wellknown very well-known Community for a lot of righteous people head Rabbi head Rabbi of the community doing exactly what I just told you this is happening why now the reason why people don't have is because it's not taught usually and it's gotten to the point where it's frowned upon to teach it people say n you're scaring people but scares people every somebody dies every par somebody dies every par somebody does something kills him last week to he killed both of them why they messed up a little bit for all of us it's not even a sin what they did for them it was he killed him so imagine if he judges the so harshly what about us we barely even know every par somebody dies every par there's a death penalty you do this death de every par second the T he destroyed the whole world no so we see that a runs the world according to his Tor which the Torah is supposed to scare you you're supposed to get to a point of loving a but that is built on a foundation of fear why because that's how you're made up you're made up you were created all of us were created to be afraid of everything that's how we operate if you look at any bio of anybody that you read that was a success as far as money is concerned common question that people ask billionaires why do you still work I mean you have enough money for 50 Generations even if you spend a million dollars a week you're still not going to run out of money why do you go to work now the common nice answer that people like to tell themselves oh I like my job yeah you like your job because you make $50 million a week it's very easy to like your job when you make that kind of money but beit why do you go to work why why do you continue the real reason is because every single one of them is still afraid of going broke now you don't think it's possible because we're looking from our own $3 pockets and we look at the billionaire 50 billion dollar like how could he go broke it happens few years ago there was a guy worth $37 billion his name was AI Batista in Brazil he famously said that he's going to become the richest man in the world and is going to leave Bill Gates and his friends behind by a wide margin $37 billion still relatively young all of his companies looked like they were doing fantastic $37 billion so you know literally even if you spend a million dollars a week you're still never going to run out of money never $10 million a week you're never going to run out of money because the interest that the rest of the money makes makes you're never going to run out money if you just simply put it in nothing don't even put it in the bank just take it fill up a few buildings with the cash and every every week just come with a truck take $10 million in cash throw it in the street in the garbage whatever you want to do buy yourself a Twinkie and you're finished you still never going to run out of money ever that's how much money $37 billion is unless doesn't want it says oh you're arrogant you need and sayem you're disgusting to me Hashem finds arrogance disgusting so 15 months later 15 months later he lost all of his money 15 months meaning it was a bigger Miracle of how he lost the money than how he made the money he lost so much money they came to his house and started Towing his cars don't you know how embarrassing that is the I mean I'm sure he can still uh he still has a few million bucks to his name but this is an embarrassment of embarrassments other people that did had same thing happened to them kill themselves one German guy after the market crash of 2008 his9 billion net worth dropped by 90% he killed himself so we see guys anyone wants to eat I don't give it doesn't bother me by all means enjoy it's one of the perks of coming to the for this holy place they really are worried about your and you have to come to the shoe how are we going to convince you to come to the Sho worry about your get you fat and give you some free sushi and cookies and all types of drinks so if you want feel free doesn't bother me I I told you the the internet is my is my audience so the uh one the next thing is one next one yeah it's okay that's no problem so we see here that runs the show and he wants us to be afraid but at the same token he wants us to be afraid in order for us to win in the end in order for us to eventually get to ganeden in order for us to eventually get to a place where he says Ah that's my daughter Ah that's my son ah ah great you did your job you completed your mission now the problem we had at the bet mikdash is that the rabbis did not rebuke us the problem we had was not just they didn't rebuke us that even if they did we got to a point of such commitment to our sins that even if they would have done it we wouldn't have listened we got we like the sin too much some people like that today that even if somebody rebukes them and tells them the truth they still don't change but that still does not absolve the rabbi from rebuking so the I'm sorry in shabat says that before decided to destroy the mikash he figured that you know what I'm Gonna Save the don't touch them so comes to say no I know you're the boss but it's a mistake in your accounting why why is a mistake they need to die also because why the entire T says except one what you must rebuke your brother you must tell your brother keep Shabbat you must tell your brother watch your eyes you must tell your brother keep kosher and so on and so forth you must didn't fulfill that so was trying to protect the he says yeah but I know that even if they would have told all of these that they didn't want to keep anything even if they would have told them they wouldn't have listened so who so smart he says hem you know but the did not know which means they were still obligated to do it Hashem says you're right kill them first kill all the rabbis first this is a message really more for the rabbis than it is for the students why because there are unfortunately a lot of people that look up to this Mal RAB from UK because they're afraid of him because he achieved a certain level of success but after last week's video where I showed you proof upon proof that this guy is worse than a missionary worse than a AR he's in cah with the Vatican on a regular basis either Archbishop or the pope are constant on the phone or in his house he's constantly with them on top of that he teaches Christianity in a school he teaches Christianity to the Jewish people on top of that he goes to church to give uh speeches which Al says you're not allow to walk into a church better off you die not go into a place of a church on top of that he brought a uh im a Muslim IM to to do a shabbaton at his place so Muslims the Christians the Catholics on top of that not enough he's also now promoting LGBT lesbian gay transvestites all of the people that unfortunately have a desire they are not willing to overcome he's promoting it against Tor against the Torah so just because somebody has a certain title does not necessarily make them that title and people that are looking up to him should know that if they continue staying quiet the dean is also on them so this teaches us something extraordinary well first tells us you can't just live anywhere just because it calls itself a Jewish Community just because it calls itself a Jewish Community doesn't mean you can live in there why who's the rabbi who's the leader in this Jewish Community what do you have there that makes it Jewish what everybody looks there black and white what there's a uh bakery that sells Kala what what makes it Jewish the only thing that makes something Jewish is toah tah is the only thing that has preserved if it wasn't for there would be no what kind of Tora is in this Jewish community is a translation says and obviously we're going to go through it try not to cover the same things that we did last week but give a little bit of a new insight on the rest of the mishna try to finish it tonight says once I was walking on a road when a certain man met me he greeted me and I returned his greeting he said to me Rabbi for what place are you I said said to him I'm from a great city of Scholars and sages he said to me Rabbi would you be willing to live with us in our place I would give you a thousands upon thousands of golden Dinars meaning a million Dinars precious stones and Pearls so many words I'll give you a million bucks just to come I replied even if you were to give me all the silver and gold precious stones and pearls in the world I would dwell nowhere but in a place of Tor and so it is written in the Book of Psalms by David I prefer the Torah of your mouth above thousands in gold and silver furthermore when a man departs from this world neither silver no gold nor precious stones no pearls escort him but only to study and Good Deeds as it is said when you walk it shall guide you when you lie down it should guard you and and when you awake it shall speak on your behalf when you walk it shall guide you means in this world when you lie down it shall guard you means in the grave meaning how you going to look in the grave there's a whole teachings about something called what happens in the grave depending on how uh you guys want to be scared tonight or not I'll tell you if you want I'll tell you a little bit about it and when you awake it shall speak on your behalf in the world to come and it says mine is the silver mine is the gold says AEM master of legance so in so many words tells us a mish teachings and that of something that happened to him that is so extraordinary such an extraordinary event that it's part of it's part of our Mish meaning the foundation of our entire all tor now nothing that ever happened in our lives is ever going to be in a mishna why mishna was already been 2500 years ago but what I can tell you is that every single one of you has a every one of you has a every Jew has a being written with every single move that you make and this seph is what you're GNA have in sh you know how they said and so on and so forth it's going to say oh and Steve woke up at 11 o'clock that day and he decided he doesn't want to pray today he decid you know what let me go to Dunkin Donuts oh and he went and he saw some girl it wasn't Jewish but he said ah what the heck that's going to be and she had an opportunity to wear a mother's dress but she really was worried if if she wears the mother's dress she's not going to find a so she decided ah I'm going to wear the mini skirt instead that's going to be you go up to sh and say look at your Gish your T is like New Testament it's like the opposite of the old Tor what happened what' you do unless a person does Chua so now kma tells us a teachings of something that happened in his life that was so extraordinary we have to learn it he says he saw a person and the person offered him a bunch of money what to come to his community be a rabbi this more or less sounds like fantastic offer why is he saying no he says I'm going to give you a million dollars come be a rabbi the when he did Ali he decided to go to B at the time the Kish came up there wasn't exactly a the was already there he had his but it wasn't that was that so why why you go he says they already have they already have t over there I want to go to a place to put more toora into the world but there's a mish here that says you cannot go to a place no Tor says yes exactly so we're either going to build Tora here or we're all going to go to Gom together says when he came either we succeed or we're at fault anyway you can't just go to a place and know where there's T you have to go build places but the same token says no you can't go to a place so there's a here there's a contradiction here why did RMA say no said no because it wasn't about the fact that there was no tah there it was the fact that the offer that the person gave him wasn't about toah he said rebi why don't you come why don't you come and live with us in our place meaning why don't you be like us why don't you be like us well businessman this guy has a brokerage firm the other guy's got an insurance company this guy's got a couple of car lots everybody's doing well why don't you come with us make us look kosher why we need a rabbi to like you know get us a nice kosher stamp kosher.com kosher this kosher that we need to look good so we need you to come come with us and if you're worried about money why because we all high rollers we all live in the 80th floor don't worry Rabbi I got you cash I'll spot you the first million I'll spot you the first million so you don't have to act like weird what you get your new house you act as if you belong so says this is not an offer this is not even a bribe this is you trying to buy Mya and give it to the Satan himself this that won't do for all the money in the world why why isma so adamant about it why can't why doesn't he think that he could change them because a person that does not see an obligation in himself a person does not see any deficiency in himself you can't can't change them can't change them if you go to a person you tell them listen you come to I already know the whole you know the whole T how come you don't keep anything though no you know I keep my own way buddy I keep my own way I keep more than you yeah I saw you drive in front of me on Shabbat don't worry about it I saw you eating at the McDonald's yeah yeah but I was hungry was hungry was life I eat I was going to die he has all types of to meet for himself it's a very dangerous person you can't help a person like this sometimes a person knows a lot of Tor but the calls him despicable in the name of the Torah despicable in the name of the Torah sometimes he keeps a lot of Torah but the ran says he's still going to go to G why but he keeps everything yes he keeps everything you're never going to catch him cheating on anything but he does the minimum of minimum of minimum when he could do more on certain things when he's expected to do more on certain things because he knows because he knows he's expected to do more some people are expected to be minimum of minimum Al be minimum minimum other people expect to be a lot more gave each one of us on a and we all know how much we're capable of doing at least today you do more hashm is going to give you insight to realize that you could do even more and that's one of the biggest gifts that we have in this world that hasem uncovers our eyes when we're ready to see what was already there the whole time now the betov says something very interesting he says that the Tor tells us cabal tells us that there are several Dimensions to the world several Dimensions we're not going to go into kabala right now but in so many words you have a here you have a up there you're does something over here it does something over there in sh you have a deficiency here you have a deficiency there if before there's a war in this world there's a war up there first you understand okay now the physicality of this world is not like the physicality of that world for example fire the says in that the fire here the fire here in this world the highest level of Fire Imagine let's say a volcano volcano the highest level fire is only 160th of the fire in heaven 60 160th meaning in Gom over there is nice pool of fire the fire here is only 160th meaning it's it's not 60 times more powerful it's an infinite amount more times powerful but the fire here Burns everybody alike whether they're righteous or they're Wicked they keep Shabbat they don't keep Shabbat you put your hand into a fire you put your hand into a stove guess what in a few minutes you're probably not g to have a hand in heaven though it doesn't burn anyone why because the fire there is different how so it acts different than the fire here why because over there there are rules where the fire is a fire it's much more powerful fire but the the end of says what fire the righteous are fire meaning that fire cannot burn them fire cannot burn the sadik doesn't matter what kind of level of fire where do we see this in the Torah was thrown into whole full of fire the people that threw him people that wanted to throw him in there they got burned they didn't go into the hole but the fire was so strong they got burned just by being close to it that's how strong the fire was walking around nothing touched him not even a little scar nothing why to us it's a miracle T says not even a miracle why because said wait a minute he is aik aad cannot be treated the same way as everybody else so now this fire has to act like the fire in heaven it has to act the same way where can't touch him why cuz he's fire he's fire that fire cannot burn him so far so good now each one of us has the opportunity to get to such a high level of kadus woman man everybody has a has an opportunity to be that way the problem that we have is that we're constantly looking around and competing against the people around us or comparing ourselves to the people around us and many times we fail because of it because we see that she's not modest and she comes from a good family so that makes it okay not to be modest we see that he goes out and he's not really and he's uh comes from a good family his father's a rabbi so that means it's okay to do this we justify our Behavior by looking at other people sometimes looking at those people those people are rabbis I can tell you an example that happened just in the last few days I have a student for the last few years she sends me an email she says Rabbi I know that uh modest everything is good for the last few years but the reality is there are still pictures of me on the internet still pictures of me on the internet of the days that I wasn't modest on my friend's profile on Facebook and all these other places what should I do should I ask them to to to delete it or should I just ignore it I said of course ask it's a big first of all you have to tell him to delete it you have to tell delete why because if somebody looks at the picture even though today you're doesn't make a difference there's a picture of you from 20 years ago you're not modest there a serious problem here you have to remove it if it's just a picture of your face then it's a different story but if it's a picture you're almost not wearing clothes yet it's a very serious problem even though you did Chua so ask him to remove it and uh ask him nicely tell them it's a present give me a present for my wedding give me a present for my birthday give me a present for whatever please do me a favor don't buy me anything what are you going to do just take off my picture from your profile that's it why because if somebody looks at it it's a very serious problem say agree thank you Rabbi just wanted to know I had the feeling I'm going to do it next day she sends me an email it says at the same time I asked you I also asked the local raban the local raban and she sent me the answer of the raban what was the what the raban say raban says Nah you don't have to worry about take them taking off your picture in fact you telling them to take off the pictures is going to bring attention to those pictures you tell them to take off the picture is going to bring attention to those pictures you have nothing to worry about your past all you have to worry about is just today and hopefully you stay strong and that's it I said with a like that who needs a who yet goes on vacation like this who needs says I'm on vacation Poconos I'm in Cancun why's working for me she's doing all the jobs for me she's tell people not to do Chua now anyone that thinks logically not even just to just logically says this makes no sense whatsoever this has to be the Satan why what do you mean you're asking somebody remove the pictures remove the immodesty of my past how is that going to bring attention to it you're deleting it it's the opposite it you're removing the attention you're not you're asking them privately you're not making a a billboard on I95 please if you have a picture of me looking like this like this like this and like this remove it you're not doing that what are you doing saying honey I love you how are you how's your family how's your kids do me a favor you know you have like six pictures of me on your profile do me a favor love do me a favor can you take it off please how's that taking off how's that bringing attention to it if anything it's a k why the girl's going to ask you why what happened what's wrong with BR no you know I did CH it's not good it's not modest you have an opportunity to do a sh with your friend what's the worst that's gonna happen she's going to do CH for the doesn't want to do why is gonna fire her so sometimes you get the worst advice from people people that are supposed to give you the advice that's why don't assume that just because someone is a rabbi or rabit their advice is what Torah says you have to double check what does the Torah say is what you said your opinion or is it what the Torah said if it's what T says that means said it it has to be right if it's your opinion I'm sorry 50/50 it's like somebody went to a restaurant one time and he asked the guy he's like uh this place kosher he says what place kosher look look at the pictures I have on the wall babaali the Ben the theki this look all these pictures look what do you think this place says he says listen if the basali Andi and they were here and you were in a picture I know this place is kosher but since they're in a picture and you're here I'm not sure if it's kosher can you show me a certificate show me a certificate it's kosher you have to double check you have to double check tells us you have to double check you can't just assume that because of place looks kosher acts kosher and if you have a rabbi that's constantly in bed with the Christians and the Catholics and the atheists and the uh all of the people that are against theem it's impossible for such a place to be Kosen it's impossible for a big Rabbi to tell you you're allowed to live there so the big problem that we have is that we don't think there's a problem why because we see that even Within every bad Community there's a few decent people so you fig this decent person this sadik he lives here so it must be okay it must be okay the rest of the people not so much but they're nice people and we do all types of accounting this type of accounting is what killed almost all of is in MIT the inim section tah or number 24 he says something extraordinary he says that the The Exodus was not a miracle because of the 10 plagues not a miracle because of us leaving Egypt not a miracle because we got to mount saai no that's not the miracle the miracle is that am got to such a low level such a low level of Kusa 49th level of Tuma 49th level of impurity that they themselves could not visualize themselves as anything but slaves they couldn't picture themselves as Free People they couldn't picture themselves as someone anything but a tool for the Egyptians not just here but to such an extent of the other dimension meaning in both places in this world and the world over over there in both dimensions their sh was convinced they will never be anything but a Slave so when mosu came to them he says let's go chop chop out of here what out of here we got work to do no no no you know you give me the code everything we got work to do if not they're gonna put our babies in in the blocks instead if not they're going to throw them in the water if not they're going to kill us if not this if not that please we're busy do something elseu came to they think they thought it's impossible impossible for us to leave now after seeing the 10 plagues you would think that all of them got the point all of them saw Miracles they saw hasem change nature they saw Hashem turn the water into blood bring one frog that after you hit it turns into millions of frogs and after you hit those millions of frogs turns into more millions of frogs that's where the first time the Frog plague is mentioned it says which is singular but then after that it says as the mid says first came one frog one really big frog then they Egyptians tried to hit the Frog kill it every time they hit it millions of frogs came out so they tried to hit the the Frog again and more millions of frogs they got so frustrated the Egyptians got so frustrated that it's getting worse they lost their their their their mental capacity they just continued hitting it like knowing it's like it's like almost like drinking more poison like a cure knowing it's poison though they continue that's sometimes that's what we do we're laughing at the Egyptian but sometimes it's us sometimes we get so angry want to break something like as if it's going to fix something wait what you what what happened why you so angry why you so angry I just lost a bunch of money P okay but you lost money why you breaking more stuff abibi you lost money you're complaining that you lost 500 bucks you're breaking now something that just cost you a th000 ah the heck with it P another $2,000 by the end of the day you broke $5,000 you could have just been quiet only lost $500 the Egyptian same way the Egyptian same way they continued hitting the Frog saw this the frogs only hit the Egyptians never the Jews not enough lice lice the size of chicken eggs the mid says chicken eggs not enough it gets to a point where there's hail hail coming down from shamim inside the hail the ice there's lava which is against nature it's against nature Only Hits the Egyptians you figure by now everybody is Babas everybody is perfect everybody M doesn't need to be M he go on vacation you have all the Miracles in the world that's it finished when the plague of darkness comes we learn that a killed who who he kill during who hasm kill Egyptians killed a bunch of Egyptians right but the reality is that he killed a bunch of Jews too how many Jews the best case scenario is 80% the best case scenario worst case scenario 99% M says only two people out of every million left Egypt according to one mid two people out of every million the best case SC is one person out of every five 200,000 out of every million that's the best case scenario but some say you're dreaming not it's not only it's not 200,000 out of every million it's it's not even 20,000 out of every million why why you just saw a bunch of Miracles why don't you want to leave because despite the Miracles miracles do not make people do chuva miracles do not make people do chwat sometimes you see people Miracle after Miracle the guy had cancer they told me has three weeks to live 30 years later he's still running doesn't do chuba you see this person went to car accident the car the car itself disappeared from the world him he's walking around like nothing happened Miracles you see it nothing doesn't change the thing Miracles don't make people do CH only realizing that you can do better you can do better and you're serving of a and you have to to do better and your serving of a makes people do CH that's the only way as long as you think you're okay like and also in says a person does not see obligation himself as long as you think there's nothing wrong with you no miracle in the world is going to help you we saw it in Egypt all the Miracles in the world happened there but they still never saw themselves as being anything but slaves they still never saw themselves as being anything but secular Jews they still never saw themselves as anything but whatever they are right now they were born into a kabat family they're staying kabat family they born into a uh uh whatever uh secular family secular family atheist family atheist whatever I came in the world I came in the world to a cow I'm going to stay at cow no development whatsoever says if you're treating yourself like this you're not the Jew that you're supposed to be you're not the that you're supposed to be You've Lost Your Right to live so here we see that when people did not have be in themselves confidence in themselves that they can do better they simply did it now sometimes this P comes from an inspirational story you heard that says you know what I could do that what this 22y old just finished the shot fourth time okay maybe I can't finish it four times because I'm already 30 and I haven't finished it once but I can do once I'll do D I'll finish it in seven years I'll do two dffs I'll finish it in three years I'll do three dffs I'll finish it in a year I can do it why he's human I'm human he puts his leg his pants on one leg at a time I'm putting one leg at a time what s was beautiful but modest I can be beautiful and modest I give beautiful what modesty does not mean ugly it means preserving your wealth and only showing it to one particular person that's it that's what modesty means immodesty means you're sharing your beauty with everybody else and usually not with the one person you're supposed to so more times than not a person needs to be inspired to do better and that's why it's very common today that people try to give inspirational speeches I'll give you a nice story they'll give you some some story of some person that was homeless and now is Rich some person that didn't know anything he was a uh divorce with a kid and became R AA they'll give you inspirational stories like this sadly this doesn't last doesn't last May last a week a month a year five Years it'll last as long as the allows it to last not you as long as the allow it last why because this inspiration is just your desire to do better but the minute the big test comes whatever your weakness is if your weakness is money opportunity for you to steal $7 million somebody comes up to you and says listen son how old are you now 35 years old 40 years old 45 years old how much you have in a bank seven bucks how many kids you have seven uh your wife she likes you not so much why CU I have all the things I just told you when is the next time you get a raise never how you going to retire not even thinking retirement I'm thinking I'm better off just committing suicide it's cheaper okay son how about this I'll give you an opportunity I write you a check for $7 million all you got to do is XYZ that's illegal all you got to do is tell all of these customers that you're such and such and in reality everything you're saying is a lie all you got to do is lie all you got to do is cheat all you got to do is just something illegal but $7 million khabibi after you got the $7 million you get away with the ones you don't have to do again you have to do it again you retire then you can retire how many people going to pass that test how many people going to pass that test very few very few why you have to have an inner midat IIT an inner mid an inner Instinct for being honest as a result of fear of dishonesty as a result of hatred of dishonesty hatred of dishonesty Unfortunately today the average business and have done business with thousands of people the average business is 100% stealing why they say they're going to do something but they don't that's stealing just an illegal way they say they're going to give you an ad give us $950 you give them the $950 and they don't don't yeah okay what about my ad yeah next time next time buddy yeah but I paid for this time yeah yeah okay we'll do it next when we get a chance 6 months later did you get a chance yet I paid the $950 six months ago how about my my my my my just give me my money back don't give me the ad give me the money back no no we spent it we spent it oh uh my fridge is uh hasn't having some problems can you come look at it maybe I need to fix something guy comes this happened in my house two months ago guy comes he's got I know a couple of bags with him Italian guy comes he looks at the fridge I'd say I'm estimating somewhere between 45 maybe maybe tops 50 seconds tops 50 seconds he's said unit's gone thing is gone it's garbage my garbage thousands of dollars this fridge landlord spent I don't know so much money on this on this uh fridge why I'm going to tell him they have to buy $5,000 fridge right now are you crazy what do you mean goes look you see this he shows me some piece of plastic you see this I say yeah go that's crap he goes yeah that's it it's gone garbage you have to replace the whole thing so you can't fix that piece of plastic put some tape on it put some crazy glue I don't know do something he goes it's going to cost so much money it's going to cost so much money to fix this it's not worth it I'll call the landlord for you he called the landlord talking to them as soon as he finished he let him leave I called the landlord I said listen don't listen to this person he's a thief he's a thief if it he tells you to replace you goes yeah maybe I have to replace I said no no no do not replace it I rather not have a fridge than somebody stealing from you why this highway robbery find a normal person yeah but he's a professional let him be professional let him be Pikachu for all I care no chance in the world that that's that he's he's honest she listened she sent somebody else nice Russian boy came to the house he goes ah it's just missing a little fuse thingy he fixes it maybe maybe tops 20 minutes 20 minutes took him I think it cost like $75 I thought him what about that crack that crack over he goes oh yeah that's just plastic that's just plastic I'm like yeah but the unit he goes you know how much plastic is in this unit he looks like me like I five eyes goes it's just plastic it's just broke everything breaks it's plastic it's nothing just a shell doesn't mean anything thieves thieves one after another I can tell you stories from here to next year I'm telling you I have not met an honest business person in my life and I've dealt with many of them sometimes they're honest in the beginning to get more business but it's only a matter of time it's only a matter of time before they cheat it's only a matter of time why cheating lying has become standard in the thought process of mankind Jew or non-jew alike unfortunately as a way to get ahead as a requirement to get ahead you have to cheat you have to lie you have to do everything possible to kill or be killed mentality ruthless Behavior as if you're the lion and everyone else is the gazelle competition opened up next door to you guess what you're going to let them operate for a little bit you're G to let them do it because you can't stop it right away but then you're going to call the government yeah listen IRS yeah I think this guy's cooking the books I think he's not paying taxes I think he's also illegal in this country I think oh you're thinking a lot of things why he's competition yeah but you don't know anything none of the stuff is true yeah but he's competition I got to kill my competition if it's not through honest business killer be killed people feel perfectly fine doing this what do you think all of these people that go to jail because of something dishonest they they just get caught out of nothing no it's their competition that call the feds sometimes the competition is their brother their sister their father their mother it's standard Behavior to think like this standard Behavior to think that you're supposed to kill anyone in your way Bernie maid off one of the biggest that happened in probably the last hundred years for who do you think were his victims predominantly Jewish people predominantly Jewish people not only Jewish people his neighbors his best friends his community that's who he stole $50 billion from now I mean this took 30 years at some point did just say you know what I already stole a billion it's enough it's enough let me just go to like Africa somewhere in the woods build myself some Villa underground no one's ever going to find me and let these poor people deal with the but it's a billion dollars Kal a billion is more than enough what do you need 50 60 billion for because the gar says that a person that does not have do not have fear of a he has a mentality where you give him a 100 he wants two you give him 200 he wants four you give him 800 he wants 1,600 he has a mentality that nothing is ever enough nothing is ever going to be enough nothing and that type of mentality is obligated to steal obligated to have a mentality of kill or be killed because it's the only way to attain such wealth it's only way it's the only way to attain such a goal but the best thing is is that says there's no such person that that lives like this and even reaches half of what they wanted why because no matter what they had they always want double but they're not even going to reach the half eventually so this motivation that you're going to get from somebody that's going to inspire you to be better unfortunately it will not last very long because eventually the yet is going to come to you with a $7 million test eventually the yet is going to come to you with a beautiful woman that's not your wife eventually the is going to come to you with an opportunity of a lifetime to destroy a lifetime but you're not going to think about it that way you're going to think I'm going to cheat once lie once do this once and then I'm going to go back to be I'll do but there's a rule in the tah a person that says I'm gonna sin and then do do chva I'm gonna sin and then do chuva a person says I'm gonna sin and then do chuva what's the punishment Hashem says you will never do chuva why I will not allow it that's the punishment why cuz you're making a joke you're making a joke of the system you're making a joke of which leads us to the next point What's going to keep the motivation going the only thing that keeps the motivation going is knowledge of what you're supposed to be scared of fear why are you supposed to be afraid that's enough knowledge to inspire you for a lifetime they asked the r one time when should you teach children about gay he said it's six years old six years old why it's six years old if you teach him at 6 years old about Gom you won't have to teach them about the 36 if you don't teach them at 6 years old even if he teach him at 36 there's no guarantee that they're going to actually follow it now to make it as clear as day for people of theim doing what they say shalom he wrote commentary commentary I believe it was at the age of 9 or 11 about what the entire book of the whole thing he wrote it but that's the one that we learn most amount of information we know about is from he wrote commentary in the entire book which includes at 9 or 11 years old that is a book that is scholarly book you could buy it you could think of it I mean this is something like learned from this so here we see that one of the that loved all of is telling it's a requirement to be afraid now the prophet Ezekiel in the beginning of his prophecies in chapter three says something very interesting he says son of man benad tells him talks to him like this he calls him throughout the whole book calls him badam son of man I've appointed you a a sentinel for the house of is when you hear a matter from my mouth you shall warn them on my behalf when I say of the wicked one you shall sure you shall surely die and you do not warn him and you do not speak up and warn the wicked of his evil way to save his life then he the wicked one will die for his iniquity and I will demand his blood from your hands so says to the prophet Ezekiel Prophet Ezekiel giant of giants he says by the way is a rash in your town there a a few there's a few people that are wicked if I tell you this person is wicked and you don't go tell them I'm going to kill them but I'm also going to demand their blood on you meaning I'm going to punish you also the next verse says and when a righteous person turns from his righteousness and acts corruptly and I place a stumbling block before him he will die because you did not warn him he will die for his sin and his righteousness that he did not that he did will not be remembered and I will demand his blood from your hand he says yeah but sometimes they're not they're not Wicked people they're not driving on Shabbat they're not operating you know prostitute house or something like that sometimes they're righteous people sometimes they're decent people they have you know the strial the Hat the whole thing they're religious she's religious she everything is good but I'll send them a stumbling block I'll send them test and they'll fail miserably at that test if you don't go and rebuke them and tell them you have to do Chua yeah but she's religious yes she's religious but she also messes up yes he's religious but he also messes up why because they're still in this world if they're still in this world they have to do Chu a person that does not have to do Chua does not live in this world so if you don't rebuke the religion religious people he says I'll demand their blood from you also here we say that tells us it's not just the irreligious people secular people that need to do Chua that need to be rebuked it's the religious ones too Hashem treats them both separate paragraphs same exact message in order to teach us don't think there's a difference here there's no thing there a different set of instructions both need to do chuba now the says so he says that the raban the rabbis buries their own uh their own KLA the rabbis bury their own KLA if they don't rebuke but if they rebuke them even if they don't do chuva they still save themselves meaning that if you're going to be a rabbi in a you should know that whether you rebuke or not carries weight wait not only for them but for you yourself when you don't rebuke people you don't tell people they have to do Chua you end up losing also because not only you burying them in their own sin but also you're going to get punished for it now one of the biggest reasons of why people don't like to do it to their brothers and their sisters and their cousins and so on is because they figure listen you have to you know you have to be merciful you have to do you have to be kind you have to be generous try to bring them in with love so this week's tells us the opposite now we have three things that every son of Abraham has every daughter of abam have what is it wall kind generous shy if you're not shy double check if you're not generous double check if you're not not kind double check why these are requirements to be a Jew meaning if you have a terrible mid terrible character trait that you're stingy you are going against your own uh your own instructions if you are a very arrogant person you're going against the own your own instructions you're operating against your own instructions but here we see week where it says you don't really talk about it very often but in reality it kind of actually goes against all of those things supposed to be what kind how is it kind to take a piece of flesh out of an eight-year-old baby that can't defend himself if you ask the baby hey baby you want me to cut a piece of you and the baby was able to speak cut a piece of you what what I do to you you cut your finger cut something else you go find somebody else buddy that's not kind next thing say oh wait no I um merciful merciful merciful what's merciful about it there blood everywhere humility modesty what modesty it's the most sensitive part the most private part of a human body and not only that you invite people to watch and just G look oh look look what look my own kids I didn't want to look scary but this G to look now so this kind of goes contrary to what we just said not only that Abu is the first one that had to fulfill it to teach teach us what to teach us that these midot humility generosity the kindness all of the good has a time and a place you can't always be kind you can't always be generous you can't always be humble you cannot always there's a time and a place that you Cann not do it if you're kind to thieves guess what you are putting yourself and others in danger sh sh was says one of the most modest people that ever lived he was merciful one time too many one time with who with AAG AAG the king of amalik he was like a little scrawny little nothing he says what is this guy going to do I killed this entire Army what is this little guy going to do he let him live for one extra day for a few hours that was enough time for him to be intimate with one of the people in there one of the women there which few Generations later brought ham that almost destroyed all of am meaning there's a time in a place to be kind there's a time in a place to be humble and so on but not only that there's a way to do it telling somebody to fix their relationship with a is not unkind it's the ultimate kindness It's not lack of humility to rebuke people by telling them the truth it is actually humility because you're rebuking yourself at the same time this is what we have to understand now in order to motivate us to do some of these things gave us different parts of the Torah the Mish here yma says that all the money in the world is not going to hold water because if there's no Tora there's nothing because at the end of the day all of us going to the Grave all of us going to a place that doesn't seem like a uh fun place to be in and the only thing that carries any weight is if we have MIT if we have t now on the level of 1 to 10 well actually forget one to 10 because that'll be too complicated on a level of yes or no how many of you want to be scared I know the regulars want to be scared but the new ones nobody really wants to be scared here right yeah scared scared everybody wants to be scared a little bit okay I'll scare you a little bit not the whole thing if anybody saw my Gom this is not going to be it this is part of our Torah that we need to learn what happens what happens when you go into the grave says very simply if people knew what punishment is in G if they just knew if they just watch my shoe G they just knew that actually believe what it says they'd start crying they'd start yelling and they'd avoid doing anything for the sake of this world and work and toil their entire life just to avoid that punishment not to get G just to avoid the punishment if they simply knew they simply knew what's the other option now Gom is not the beginning of suffering though it's very hard for us to relate to a world none of us ever saw but some of us have seen people die and the Torah talks about people dying constantly and theik constantly talk about what happens when you die the worms are going to eat you all types of really graphic stuff that bothers a lot of people so we're not going to go into the really graphic things but you simply need to know just a little bit just enough to scare you enough to motivate you scare you enough to motivate you to do good things not scary to give you nightmares scary enough to motivate you so you don't fall for the big test the has waiting for you there are seven the page 99 and also page 127a anyone that wants to look there there's seven when it comes to the body and four when it comes to the nees meaning there are four there are seven judgments that come on the body seven judgments on the body four judgments on the soul there's reward and punishment for both the body doesn't only get rewarded during this world if the body did good if the body Sanctified itself it'll be resurrected with the dead it it'll enjoy a thousand years of pleasant world of perfection why do why does AEM need to bring you back to this world when the soul is even better than the body because if the soul if the body Sanctified itself purified itself by not making uh forbidden sex acts by not eating non kosher by not doing things that destroy the body then Hashem has to give the body a reward that's how he works he has to give there's no such thing as you did something and hasem not giving you a reward for it so if you did something good he has to give you a reward for it not just the soul the soul gets a reward for what it did too but the body also has to get a reward where resurrection of the Dead but the says something extraordinary he says that both the body and the Soul can get punished if a person made sins he made sins with the body and a soul as the says a analogy inab one time time there was a uh owner of a field and he had a very precious field and he said listen I need somebody to guard this field but I'm scared they're going to steal from me so what did he do he hired one guy that was blind that couldn't see what he's what he's there it's just going to be security guard but he doesn't see what he's there so he's not going to steal what he can't see and one guy that was a limp one guy couldn't walk paraplegic why because even if he stole he can't go anywhere so he's had those two people he left them there a few months later he comes back the whole field destroyed hey what' you guys do what happened here no no nothing nothing what no where nothing The Field's gone cuz what gone I can't see what's even here the other guy can't walk if he would have stole something he would see him he says ah I see what you guys did I see what you guys did he can't walk but he could see he can't see but he can walk what' you guys do you climbed on top of him and you walked around and he was telling you where to go so that's what we exactly we're going to do to you we're going to put you guys back together one on top of the other and I'll beat you both up together this is what says when they ask himem listen I'm the soul I didn't sin it was the body that took me to the uh Club it was the body that was eating non kosher I didn't want to eat non kosher and then the body says hm do I function when the soul leaves look as soon as the soul left me in the grave I stopped sinning so it's not my fault both of them are complaining to hasem says no Hashem says no I'm going to put you back together and I'm going to punish both of you together and that's why when a person's in the grave first thing that happens after they put all the sand and everybody goes away Duma shows up certain Angels named Duma show up deepen the grave to the same height of the person stand them up and hasem puts back the inside the body just like when he was alive and the r says that it is possible for both the body and the soul to be punished but it's also possible for both to that for both of them to get rewarded if they both Sanctified hashem's name their whole life he didn't make all those sins he didn't do bad things Soul gets rewarded the body gets rewarded but he says there is one other option what's the other option that the soul gets rewarded but the body does not the soul gets rewarded but the body does not get rewarded why doesn't the body get rewarded because the body itself the body itself did not sanctify itself to its full potential so it's not owed any reward but the soul did the soul isn't G but the body's not going to be resurrected with the dead that's a possibility but as far as sinning as far as punishment it's always both it's always both so there are seven judgments that go on the body four judgments on the neish the judgments on the nef we're not going to talk about but just briefly so you know one is after everything is done at the uh in the grave the soul goes to on the way to G one of the punishments is the way to G it's like for example somebody that is goes to jail a big part of the suffering is going through the whole cells from one door to the other door to the other door and he sees all the people yelling at him and screaming at him it's a nightmare because this is his new house for the next 15 years the second punishment for the soul is the Gom itself third punishment is kafak and fourth punishment is to those are the four things on the soul the body on the other hand the body on the other hand has different suffering different judgments on it first thing is type of death what type of death is the person going to have it could either be an easy death or a difficult death some people they go to sleep they die that's considered an easy death some people they suffer with cancer or some type of disease for five years before Hashem kills them anyway that's a very difficult death or some type of strange death get hit by truck tree something happens their body deformed page 8A says that there are 93 types of deaths in this world the second level is the journey before the death before the uh before the burial how many people going to come to their funeral who's going to come who's going to carry them that's also a judgment person was righteous could have million a million people show up like the biggest funeral in history since mosu was the funeral a million people showed up a million people in a country of 12 13 million of only 8 million Jews meaning 12 and a half% 12 and a half% of the Jewish people in the country went to see funeral it's unbelievable I mean if that was in America you're talking about 50 million people showing up to a funeral an entire state is not even enough for to show up so this Al speaking so if person is righteous has positive judgment person that's not not necessarily who shows up if all the people show up to his funeral all so even if they say kadish it doesn't help him all the women are coming to his funeral they're all half naked he has more sins on him why it's not helping him this funeral third depository into the grave being deposit into the grave because the uh the grave is the gate that leaves this world and enters the next one the page 199b says that after the body is thrown into the grave the first chapter meaning the first three steps of judgments on the body are completed where do they Source all of this stuff from where do they just decide that they're going to write this stuff down because it makes sense all of it believe it or not comes one of it one of the main sources is the book of yah the book of yah is one of the main sources of what happens in the grave the whole story of what happened to yah is also Through The KES is what happens to the body just like they threw yah into the ocean they throw the body into the ocean into the grave and just like the fish swallowed the grave swallows the uh the body to we see that our Torah is endless now after this three steps these are the easy ones now is when the Heart part starts as soon as a person is in the grave all of the sins that he ever made start torturing him first and foremost everybody that's there all the other that are in the grave start yelling at him start screaming at him oh you a you terrible person you bring who needs this rash in this grave we hate you we this we that yeah but they're also rash why says you're going to bring judgment on us but you're already dead what judgment says that if they're and he's rash part of the reason why he's rash is because they were what so now what happens now he died they get judged again for that because they were Wicked the Next Generation were Wicked they get punished again for being Wicked because they're the reason he was wicked so they hate him because now he's bringing more suffering on them as it says woe to the wicked woe to their neighbor he learned from their wickedness and therefore they're going to be judged again now after that step number four is called which is in essence suffering inside the grave we're not going to go into the details of suffering into the grave right now because I think it's enough for you guys but I could tell you that there is two simple things that you should know there are only two options here the to and to means worms means maggots maggots come from within the body worms come from out of the body we have a friend that works in a graveyard and he says that the worms that you see outside sometimes when it rains come out of the ground you know sometimes it rains in bokeh when I when I move to bokeh it rains almost every day I thought those the Maul there was constantly worms everywhere you see those worms sometimes they're really really long and stuff that's not it you ever see a snake that's almost it some of these worms that are meat eating worms they're huge they're massive you could mistake them for a snake sometimes that's how big they are they're huge and the magots said what a person comes out and it's constantly mentioned throughout all of our Torah what's going to happen to you you came from nothing and you're going to be eaten by maggots why why is it constantly mentioned in Tora you're going to be eaten by maggots because any person that actually thinks about this for few minutes even for 30 seconds immediately loses any reason they have to be arrogant what you're pretty eventually the maggot's going to eat you you're rich eventually the maggot's going to eat you you're what what EV eventually you're all going to be the same we're all going to be the same so what are you so proud about if a person realizes this it's what it says in the page 152 page 18 it's very easy to lose that uh delusion that you have a reason to be proud that you have a reason to sin you have a reason to go against theem now after a person is a uh there as I said the uh Angel Duma comes in they deepen the grave as it says when you say it on um right before Shabbat you sing a song that's something that's being de deepened there's a deepening of Gom there's a deepening of the Grave there's deepening of different things there's different reasons for it but the point is is that the grave itself is deepened why because now the n and the body have to be punished at the same time first punishment after all of this is that they get to meet the Mal comes to them and tells them hello are you such and such what's your name actually he says what's your name masim and the body in the soul says you know and it's well known that no one knows their name no one knows their name so you figure that I'm G have a nice conversation with the right I don't know my name I just went through turmoil I by a car by a truck just fell from a plane I don't know my names confus the guy poor guy right p is the first P what do you mean you don't know your name he starts hitting them until he remembers his name PUK the PUK is one of those G to remember the name but this has to happen which PUK that starts with you have to have a PUK that starts with the first letter of your name and ends with the last letter of your name now as far as the yet the Satan he comes there and he hits you and the AR says I don't understand Satan knows he doesn't know the name why the 50 billion other people that died before him know he didn't know their name only a few knew their name he knows they're not going to know name so why does he ask you know they're not going to know the name and if you want to hit them just hit them what are you gonna what do you have to ask them the name for you want to hit them hit them that's what you have to do part of the reason why he hits them by the way that's required is because the sins that a person made created a kipa what's called a kipa there are two kipot there are two in essence shells on top of the Soul one of the shells is a very thin shell that's a result of of the first sin that was ever made by everybody has it with the exception of very few people in history that weren't part of that sin which is a teaching of its own everybody else has the second kipa why we've all made sins the more sins a person made the thicker the kipi is the thicker the kipi is the more time a person needs to get hit why it has to break and separate from the soul now a person gets there and ala says he knows I don't know my name he needs to hit me anyway why does he even bother just delaying the whole thing just hit me already no so the in he says that the reason why the Mal asks a person their name is because while he's asking the name he has has like a uh folder of some kind or file that has the person's name on it are you this Steve are you Steve why he wants you to admit it's you why because this folder has all of his sins in it before I hit you I need you to admit this is you so you know you're not getting hit for no reason this is all I might admit this the place of honesty here we're not going to hit for no reason there's no punishment for no reason there's a reason for it and that's why he gets hit last but not least on this part then we'll move on to the last part of the sh which is not scary is that the says says in the name ofar one thing that if all of us thought about it once a year even it'd be simply enough to do chuva he says the day of death the grave is much harder than Gom why Gom the Judgment for Gom is for 20 year old and O over the suffering of the grave is everybody the the the baby the uh the uh miscarriages everybody gets J everybody suffers in the grave different levels obviously unless you want of the 10im that go to without dying but that's a different story if you want of those give the please next week so meaning that all of us are going to be at some Point exit this world all of us the question is how are we going to exit this world are we going to exit this world with expectations of good we have a good place to go to okay there going to be a little suffering but is it going to be like a little suffering or is it going to be a lot of suffering that depends on what you do here that depends of when the yet shows up and asks you what do you think of this mini skirt what do you think of this tank top what do you think of this church what do you think of stealing money here what do you think of all the stuff that Hashem said no to what do you think you want to go for it one time only my mom told me a story one time that puts things in perspective he said the rich person once had somebody knock knock on their door and ask them can I uh buy your house he said I'm sorry it's not for sale okay but I like your house you like it all you want it's not for sale but I really

mini like the rabbi keeps saying it's not a mini it's like instead of covering the knee it covers like three4 of the knee come on what people are paying attention for inches hasem really cares he has nothing else to do but to start looking at inches he has world to run and he's looking at inches on my skirt Just One Nail that's how the comes to one small sin make this small sin with this girl don't touch her just look at her once but she's not your wife it's okay just look once just go into the McDonald's one time get the coffee coffee what what they have pig and coffee when was the last time you ate Pig and coffee together it's just coffee why they have a CO black coffee with a pig feet in it no it's just coffee from McDonald's no one little nail One Nail One Nail that's the yet tells you I just want one nail and then he comes 2 o'clock in the morning he says how about my nail how's my nail I want another nail I want another nail I want another nail and unless you know what's going to happen to you in the grave unless you know what's going to happen after the grave unless you know that does not let anyone go guess what eventually you're going to give him his whole house you're going to give him the whole house you're going to go and meet with the Pope and say Pope I agree with you eventually we're going to convert all of them it doesn't start with everything it starts with an this is why it's critical to teach fear it's the only way people stay religious according to without fear nothing works lastly I'll give you a k to show you what is d t what does the Torah say just on the way of thinking of people and also mentions this there are several types of people that are that they're forbidden from being used as Witnesses in a religious ceremony for example you want to get married you need two witnesses if one of these people is a witness in your in your marriage ceremony guess what your marriage ceremony is not valid if the person for example is a and he was one of your Witnesses your marriage is not valid if you have some type of murder and he's the one that saw it we cannot use him as a witness he's not reliable but it's not just for murderers and they're saying there certain types of people that if they do something you can't use them as Witnesses these are the ones who are ineligible to be Witnesses with regards to the new moon meaning even something as simple as telling you when is thees in the old days before we have the modern uh day calendar that the grandson of H put together that we still use and we continue use until mhia comes in order to identify R KES the would have to identify the new moon had to be Witnesses but if this witness was one of these people cannot be a witness yeah but he saw it irrelevant we can't trust them and it says someone who someone who plays with dice somebody that gambles someone who someone who lends money with interest someone who who's someone who's a dove racer meaning meaning he's not only a gambler but he's a sophisticated Gambler like for example the equivalent of poker today poker is not the same thing as blackjack or roulette it's more sophisticated requires training requires logic and so on so that's the second type of Gambler first type of Gambler doesn't require any skill you're just throwing dice second type of Gambler you have to train your uh your doves and so on require a certain skill next one is the merchants next is someone who sells slaves and these are the general rule also women cannot be uh Witnesses for different reasons but here we see that we have an unusual why is it unusual because the Tora doesn't actually say that someone who plays with dice or someone who gambles is not valid to be a witness the rabbi said it why did the rabbi say it the rabbi say because the Torah forbid stealing Torah forbid stealing and when you gamble and you beat the other person he doesn't really want to give you the money I don't want to give you the money even though there's rules he doesn't want to give you the money but still he came into the game thinking he's going to win he didn't come to the game thinking he's going to lose so when he loses and he gives you the money it's against his will which means if you take money from somebody against his will it's stealing but the Torah didn't say that gambling is is this it says stealing is not allowed someone that mamash stole someone that mamash stole is the one that is forbidden from being a witness not someone that gambles so why is somebody that gambles with chance or somebody that gambles with skill both considered because the Torah says if you're a thief you're not allowed to you're not a valid witness now to be a thief is not a one-step process it's not one nail to be a thief is a process first you have to think that the world owes you something simply being arrogant simply being entitled simply being born in this generation if you will the world owes you something just the mentality alone that's the first nail after a while you realize oh the world's not giving me everything I want I'm going to take it if they're not going to give it to me I'm going to take what's mine why because you have a belief in your heart it's yours it's yours for the taking that's a very common saying in the business world it's yours for the taking it's yours so you take because you believe it's yours even though it's really his even though it's really hers even though it's somebody else's and that's what's required to know that's what's required to understand in order to eventually get to a point of completely being a thief the sages are teaching us here it's not that gambling itself is not allowed it's the fact that if you know that it's not allowed gamble but you still do it that means that you're obsessed with money and if you're obsessed with money for sure eventually you will become a thief and when are you going to become a thief when you have the opportunity when are you going to have an opportunity when you're a witness and somebody wants to bribe you Hey listen I'm innocent yeah yeah you're innocent buddy listen $10 million I'm innocent buddy you're I can't believe they're even accusing you and that is how the AL works that's how works it's not they just said it because they said it said listen the gambling itself it's no good but it doesn't actually cancel out the whole witness it's the fact that we know where the gambling leads to the gambling leads to other things why because the mentality the ideology is wrong the ideology is corrupt if you think it's okay to gamble that means you have an obsession with money if you have an obsession with money you'll do anything for money including meeting with the Pope including selling out your nation including selling out people including anything nothing will everything has a price everything has a price and that makes you dangerous only way to get out of it of this obsession is by understanding that at some point all of us run out of time and at that point the clock starts all a new but in a different place with different types of fire that fire can act in two different ways says fire and they can be friends why because tadim a fire theim themselves they're fire they're stronger than the fire but they get burned by fire if the person sadik the Fire won't touch him if the person's a the fire will burn him it's very important to know that if you do everything who says you're going to arrive to heaven with no worries whatsoever why you worked your whole life for this day your whole life you worked for this day what are you worried about that's what you did but if you ignore hasem you ignore the Torah you ignore what it actually says unfortunately when the clock Runs Out The Suffering only begins and it's important to know this is the solution for every one of our lives this is the solution for every one of our communities this is solution for our nation it's not a matter of scaring people because we like you know telling people scary stuff it's because a says you have to be scared in order to do my will you have to be scared because naturally you're not so you have to learn enough in order to make you scared because that's the only thing that's going to help you when the guy comes telling you I'll pay you $10,000 for one nail and gives you an offer that most people can't refuse if you know that nail is a lot more expensive than 10,000 you're not going to sell it any questions you missed the main part which part part that you missed you have to watch on the internet any questions that have nothing to do with that part the main part before or just right now the part that you lost that you lost when you walked out any questions okay first of all what you said that Shabbat is not allowed to be a witness right not allowed how do you know if it's a let's say somebody says I keep someone that drives to on Shabbat not somebody that's but even if he violates Shabbat because he's ignorant that's also a problem that's the job of the rabbi that's the job of the rabbi that's doing he's supposed to to pick the witnesses they're going to be two reliable kosher people the rabbi is supposed to pick two reliable people if he picks if if the guy if the groom is picking two of his friends then the groom is putting his own future on the line so somebody that play poker or playing stock markets cannot be what's it poker not stock market stock markets do different things what about anybody has anone says anybody never said that he never said that there's one RAB that wants to put Camas the graes TOs to also you say that includes your name not just so he said he wants to putas in the gra what it's pretty SI yeah if you want if you want to really get scared just go to the graves at night go to the Grave set at night and uh listen to the graves you'll hear screams really yeah yes other the other the other Souls bodies yes no it's people people that are screaming at the person from Gom and also from the grave site okay so you want to tell me if I go to if uh it's possible yeah possible but not for I've been I'm not talking no not not a grave site of grave site of okay so go sleep there sleep there for a couple of nights you'll hear a few things but I CH for a little while heares oh no you you hear you here some voices next next question come on guys answer ask some questions that's it's finished the story sh is finished you came at the end they here already for almost two two and a half hours questions were only at the end there's no question at the beginning uh said that we have another sh tomorrow night uh where are we tomorrow where are we tomorrow AV okay down the street we'll have another sh we'll start a new M tomorrow uh that as scary but listen this is just one of those that you just simply need to know once in your life and hopefully it's enough to never have to uh never have to relearn it again because you know it and it's stuck in your brain [Music] n [Music] n [Music] [Applause] [Music] la [Music]
