Hanukkah’s Lifetime MUSSAR

[Music] good to be in um we are in the last night of kanuka it's been a another amazing holiday bashem like the candles if you uh took an opportunity to learn about kanuka to uh before the after the some of the sh we had uh we see that this holiday is um very different than uh most children are taught today you know most children whether they're secular or religious Jews non-jews hanuka taught as almost like a custom uh a nice thing to do a fun holiday uh which it is all of those things but it's also some of the uh biggest that ever lived some of the biggest sages that ever lived actually called it the holiest of all holidays uh and the reason why is because Hanukah is when we fought for Judaism more so than any any other holiday in history you know in the um on P we commemorate at pretty much the beginning the beginning of as a nation we with the Exodus with ch we celebrate when we officially United and received the Torah and became a nation on sukot we celebrate all of this celebrate being a nation we celebrate getting into tah we also commemorate what used to happen during the times of the BET mikash where would bring 70 70 sacrifices each representing one of the Nations for their Merit where the sages say that it brought so much good to the other nations that had they known how much good am is is for them and how good these sacrifices that they're bringing during sukot are for them for these other nations that may hate us that may be anti-semites that may hate Judaism May hate the Torah May hate everything about us if those very same Nazis knew how good we are to them they would have actually instead of sending their armies to attack us they would send their armies to save us they send their armies to protect us so sukot we also celebrate that during it's our Judgment Day our Judgment Day Judgment Day where every Jew has to repent has to in essence has a final opportunity to repent for the sins that he made throughout the year but in essence it's the day that hem decides what he's going to do with him do the accounting Theon of what he's done throughout the year ask why is it that Hashem does this why does hem make us pay a bill if you will once a year and then give us an opportunity to appeal it 10 days later there was a bad judgment Shalom on 10 days later we have an opportunity to appeal it on Yip and then even the final judgment is untila so why why why even bother is because hm doesn't want to have us show up to shim showing us the bill all the things that we've charged to the card throughout our 70 80 90 years and show us listen look this is what you charge you bought a steak you bought a car you bought a house you bought a this you bought a this you all the sins we've made you're going to show us on a video that we did it so we're not going to be able to deny it we're not going to be able to say oh no no I didn't do it we're going to say okay yeah you're right right we I I did all of that you're right I did all of those things you're right but why don't you come to I can't pay for it now I don't have the money I don't have the I don't have the Merit I don't have the T to pay for it now why don't you come to me earlier now when you have you have an opportunity to pay for it each year possibility to do Chua each year start all over fresh clean each year if you do it right but as you can see from all of these holidays then we have Pim where a miracle is made a few mistakes hasem rebuked them to such an extent where they were literally on the border of annihilation they did chuva they fasted and hasem change nature change nature instead of them getting killed in Flesh and Blood being spilled they got saved and they actually were able to to hurt the enemy but again even that holiday P we're not necessarily fighting for Judaism we're fighting for our lives our this world life all of the other holidays are not necessarily fighting for Judaism we're fighting for each our personal lives we're each fighting all we're commemorating that we started we commemorate the Torah we commemorate a lot of different things but we're not fighting for anything kanuk say kanuka is the one time we actually fought for Judaism and we won which part of Judaism the religious part the religious part of Judaism was under threat the Greeks didn't want to kill us physically like the Romans did like the Babylonians did like the Turks like the Spaniards like the Nazis like even back at this week's par the Egyptians even at the time that yusf sadik was king or visoy they still hated Jews they still hated the Israelites they wouldn't eat it says in last week's Pasha they wouldn't eat next to his brothers because they despised them they they considered the Israelites an Abomination so even then they hated us and then par you fast forward a few hundred years you fast forward he starts this whole Holocaust starts killing a bunch of Jews but again they he wasn't interested in killing Judaism interested in just killing Jews or making them slaves the Greeks were not interested in killing Jews the Greeks were interested in killing Judaism and that's what we fought for now although in the uh R's which I've mentioned several times in the last couple of weeks he says although kanuka is described in thear as a y it's not really a yum like other yums are meaning when you have yum it's considered y one of the main things that we know is we are not allowed to work on yum Y is the same thing as Shabbat with minor exception cooking we're able to cook but kanuka is considered a y in but it's not really y you're allowed to work so why why is it what's the significance of kanuka kanuka is a very spiritual holiday we're celebrating that the Tor one excuse me why are we celebrating it as a yum it's a significant holiday it's not like a Minag it's not a custom where some dudes celebrate some dudes don't where you don't have to do it and if you don't feel like it you know there are some uh there's we have a handful of uh mandatory fast throughout the year mandatory where everyone has to fast and there's a couple of fasts you don't have to do you should but you don't have to there's more leniency in them there are some holidays at Y and there's some that are more like customary little holidays like it's not really a holiday it's like a custom that we have is part of our tradition it's a good thing to do you don't have to do anything though this is not one of those this is yum this is M 100% but there an exception you don't have to work you could work not work do whatever you want you do whatever you want so what's the yov about it Shalom says the Y aspect of kanuka is the fact that we celebrate the victory of intellect spiritual intellect now this may not seem like a big deal to you at this point you may think that what do you mean what's so special about being intellect okay so what Jews are smart good job everyone knows just smart you don't have to uh you don't have to brag about it just look at the Nobel Prize winners statistically speaking per capita more Jews have won than any other Nation including America per capita if you look at some of the people that have made major discoveries if you look at some of the people that are running major corporations major scientists major this major that you see there's a lot of really really smart Jewish people but that's not what we're smart that's not what we're we're celebrating we're actually celebrating Divine intellect we're celebrating the ones that are we're celebrating the day one we're celebrating the fact that the common sense of the Torah survived because if it wasn't for the common s of the tah there would really be no reason for hasem to continue this world now in regards to in regards to am is as a whole most people would think that we would have a much better happier Nation Holier Nation during good times like the times of the bet mikdash when we had the bet mikdash you would think we had more sages during that time more during that time naturally it makes more sense nobody's trying to kill you you're the leader you're the king of the world you're everything you got money you got power you got everything is good you have bet mdash you see Miracles day and night you don't have to go to and look for proofs you want proofs go to bet mdash you start seeing things flying in the air I mean it's not it's not a uh Miracles every day your everyday life is miraculous there no proofs needed but theim say on the uh verse in uh by the prophet Isaiah chapter 54: one where he says the deserted wife will have more children than the married wife meaning that the ruined Israel the destroyed Israel the ones that got beat up after the bet mdash the exiled Israel is going to have much more children than the married wife then Israel that's restored and happy during the times of the temple what are these children the explain the sages explain that the children of those who were born during the tragic times were far greater in stature as far as Torah is concerned than the ones that were born during a peaceful time page 11a it says there were much in so many words there were many more right people of stature that emerged during the times of the Exile than they did during the times where everything was wonderful why we learn that this is our nature this is our nature this is one of the things that told warn the people not to forget me they get rich they say I did it they they do well they forget God this is repeated by schl SCH says to don't forget God you have money you going to forget God be successful notoriety fame fortune and so on you're gonna forget God and that's why there's a mitvah mitvah out of the 63v that it's really a bu it's really an embarrassment for is that actually has to remind us of this but this is our of course is actually a mitvah in our 630 MIT not to forget God as a matter of fact there's an obligation it's an obligation that you're supposed to do it every day in the morning all the guys that go to pray in the morning and women should do it every day at some point to do something called the remembrances 10 things that you're supposed to remember 10 things 10 10 there's 10 remembers there six things there six things you're talking about something else it's similar but it's not the same right there six things but this is 10 remembrances two different things they're similar though but the 10 remembrances are as such you must remember Egypt why remember where you came from Remember You used to be a slave you were nothing they were beating you up they were killing babies they were taking their blood making a bath out of it remember all that stuff hem destroyed the biggest civilization in the world the ones that you thought were your friends initi because said was the leader he made them Rich they loved them they this they worshiped them they made him into a god remember you made that's the America of their day you made them rich and then what they made you into a slave so remember Egypt you remember that stuff they made you a slave okay remember don't trust any Adam don't trust any man no one why tomorrow may not be here that's why in a couple of weeks we're going to see it says and now was born who didn't remember YF what do you mean didn't remember what you forgot remember remind them there's 500 million people in uh in in Egypt 500 million people one of them remembers why he just died last week just died lasty hey you remember had the pictures all over the wallik everybody every house has a picture why he made us rich we were nothing he made us rich sadik remember him what do you mean you woke up and didn't remember him says you remember on purpose why get him out of my face why I don't like him anymore why he's dead I don't have to pay any honor I have to pay any honor he's some Jew he did nothing it's not really him our it's it was our money that made the money it was our WID them that made the we just gave him a job we gave him an opportunity look he took advantage took all of our money took all of our jobs he took all of our careers he turned the whole story upside down so the America of their day Egypt hasem says You must remember it why you like him today everything is fine they said oh capital of Israel is thank you thank you for giving us permission to have as the capital for you everyone is sending letters wow look at this amazing thank you very much for telling us what we knew for already 3,000 years thank you so much cavod so many articles written so many things what is this a joke this mitvah ver number one says remember not just the slavery part what happened before two Shabbat Shabbat you got the mitvah of Shabbat before you even got to mount sa why that's the deal breaker you keep Shabbat you have a share in the world to come you don't nothing you can do is going to save you you can keep 612 out of the 613 mitv somehow some way you're Co you're a woman you're a man you're everything you found a way you found a loophole to keep all of the except Shabbat doesn't make a difference goes to the garbage why you get paid in this world you have no remember Shabbat it's a big deal that's number two man remember the man what's remember the m i don't have any M you have any money in the house I'm telling you I study Torah I try all night all day I

the the says this is a from to ever say anything anything other than a compliment about someone that teaches Tor even if all you have is negative things even if he came taught Tor and nothing came out of his mouth all all nonsense it wasn't against the Torah but nothing entertaining nothing really of intellect nothing really of nothing M he came there he said to you guys Hashem took us out of Egypt for five hours in a row that's it that's all he said Egypt you are not allowed says for you to go to say somebody else hey by the way boring you 5 hours he says took us out of Egypt what does it mean what does it mean it's not allow in t says why just destroyed someone that maybe got a out of that shoe or maybe will get a from it last week or next week now you just ruined all of it why you would

to say much you ruin everything next one M mad is the fifth one he says remember mad why I need to remember mad why I have to remember Mount sa cuz you were there you may not remember it but you were right next to me you're pushing me I remember you were there what does it mean you were there your was there so why was there that means when you get up to sh you so I didn't know what do you mean didn't know you think AEM the creator of all creation the King of Kings AEM that loves you is going to put you into a world and you don't know anything nothing you're like a Golem nothing you're a little little Play-Doh just your piece of play you know nothing you never had an opportunity to do chva you never had an opportunity to ask yourself what's the truth what's fake what why did I come to this world nothing you just Golem nothing said you were Mount siai you were Mount siai of course you knew you may not remember the day you were Mount sa because it was 3,000 years ago it's a long time ago but your remembers at some points during your life you're going to constantly be reminded there's going to be doubts am I doing right am I doing wrong should I marry this woman should I marry this guy should I do this should I do that should I steal you're always asking yourself why do you think you're asking yourself no one taught you in a Grade School about marriage no one taught you in grade school whether to waste seed or not but if you go to a Jewish crowd doesn't matter if there're soldiers in the Army doesn't matter it's in the kibo doesn't matter it's in America doesn't matter it's in Guam doesn't matter it's in Africa you tell people ladies and gentlemen what do you know about wasting seat everyone knows it's a they don't know why it's a you go to go you go to non-jews ladies and gentlemen what do you know about wasting seed everyone knows it's ass they don't know why they never read anything about it as a matter of fact this is the first time in their life they actually heard the term but they automatically know what it means no one in their right mind thinks that wasting seed is taking a bunch of seeds for for a sesame seeds and throwing them on the ground no one thinks that no one thinks it's a taking little pistachios and and throwing it in the air or something no one thinks that no one thinks it's watermelon seeds no one thinks like that everyone knows exactly what I mean when I say what do you think of wasting seed why you mount sa you are Mount saai you cannot deny it next that our holy fathers despite having Miracles after Miracles after Miracle after Miracle after Miracle day and night there was not a day that passed without a miracle Miracle but I don't talk about Miracle like we see Miracles Miracle you didn't have a flat tire Miracle you got on time to the appointment even though you were an hour behind miracle that your wife still likes you miracle that your husband wanted to marry you miracle that the kids are still home allp I'm not talking about like that talking about miracles in sham you're seeing crazy things Miracles despite all of that am still went against the still had a golden calf what is what is this reminder reminder is miracles for all of those people that say why doesn't hasem just show himself why doesn't Hashem just show himself to all of us and eliminate all doubt why does hasem show us hey Sky just write something write God everyone knows where it came from or just say something scar us the death say I am God that's it finished everyone's going to believe in God there's not going to be an atheist in the world says not possible why look the ones that saw Miracles non-stop still at some point the Miracles did not helped them do chuva why because the continues to work unless the works yet wins unless you continue learning tah continue getting glued to hasem continue working on yourself on your midot your character traits and everything else it's all going to fall apart all the Miracles you had are going to become a distant memory how many of you have books notebooks that you wrote down all the Miracles that happened in your life I want to embarrass you and ask you to raise your hands how many of you have a memory just a memory of all the Miracles that you ever had in your life I'm not going to ask you to raise your hand how many you remember how many miracles you had today not yesterday not last week not your whole life just today even that you have to think about why Miracles don't help people do Chua Miracles just open the door come in son come in daughter come come what keeps you in toah so stop asking the silly question of why doesn't hasm appear next that there were always going to be some leaders out there that are going to go against the nation but only we can beat ourselves was a prophet that had one power that even mosu didn't have he knew the momenta that hem would punish the world the moment a some of the say this is one out of 15,000 of a second that's the whatever it is in a couple of places in you know that gave him power that if he utilized that moment that Rea he'd ask do whatever he wants he do it he tried cursing during that moment said no Bak had cash he said you curse them you destroy them I'll pay you anything you want billion no problem where do you want to make Tech payable to cash no problem with diamonds too whatever you want to have cash Donald Trump was like an employee for him but I got a lot of money said I'll pay whatever you want just destroy these people but what really destroyed us what really destroyed what nearly destroyed the entire nation you go to P balak at the end after all of the trials that balak and Bam tried cursing us several times three times nothing worked what nearly destroyed us immodesty immodesty bam told him listen the curse is not working why God of Israel is he runs the show doesn't matter what I do he wants to curse he curses he's not like a genie he wants to curse he curse doesn't want to curse to curse what do you think he's like us he changes his mind he said he's blessing them he's blessing them but I do know something about him what do I know their God hates him mody you sent your modest girls to them they go with them he'll destroy them without you asking why he it's disgusting to him an immodest Act is disgusting to Hashem why because it eliminates the separation between man and animal what's the difference between man and animal you can't tell me it's the the fact that you're able to speak maybe the cow can speak you just don't understand you can't tell me it's because I could pray maybe the cow is praying and you don't know as a matter of fact the says they do pray every day what do you think the frogs are in this world not not to praying to hm every day they quack quack quack they quacking to hasem says several stories about how they praying to hem what what are he's saying they're not praying what he's saying because what you have a mortgage they don't need a mortgage they can live anywhere they want they live better than you they have no stress you have stress all the time what is it because you get married they get married to as many people as they want as many animals as they want every day is a new wife every day new husband what they what do you what separates you what makes you better what makes you better than an animal than a par one of these animals we're going to make kosher Stakes out of what What Makes You Different why are we putting you there chopping you up into little kosher Stakes why what's the difference difference is you have free choice they work off of instinct they work off of instinct you have free choice what's the free choice you don't have free choice of whether you're tall or short you don't have free choice of whether you live or die you don't have free choice of whether you're born black white yellow green or any other color in between what's your free choice your free choice is whether you're going to fear God or not your free choice is whether you're going to obey what God Said or not so now God said there's a few things that I am disgusted by one of them is immodesty promiscuity whether it's with the same sex opposite sex irrelevant point is it's disgusting in the eyes of Hashem anything connected to it anything around it to such an extent that even the Rasha Prophet The Wicked Prophet bam had the opportunity to curse us didn't work what worked he sent a bunch of prostitutes to us is sinned with them and Hashem started killing us by the second 24,000 died in a matter of seconds not weeks not months not days not even hours seconds seconds the say was to such an extent that had not done what it done within a few more seconds all of am would have died there would be not us no conversion no chuva no nothing zero no mosu nothing not like the where we sit with the golden calf and he came to M listen let me just destroy them and I start a new nation from you no he didn't see this he didn't even warn us that's how much he hates IM modesty that's how much he hates promiscuity that's how much he hates into marriage that's how much you ask how much that's how much you have to remember this every day it's number seven number eight was a prophet was a prophet the sister of mosu not like the foolish Arabs in the Quran they write that Miram was the mother of JC peny who lived a thousand years before the guy was a prophet KES kesim as a matter of fact there's a story in the about that make you understand how important it is to listen to rebuke regardless of where it comes from Miram was six years old five years old actually at the time five years old Miram she she Sayes her father how KES how holy is he says only four people lived and died with never sinning what never sinning Never sing like big things never never ate n kosher never no no no never sinning period ever nothing on the way here I think some of us sinned just on the way here one second yeah four people yes he was allowed he was allowed this is before mat T and that's why after mat t one of the best proofs of the Tor is that M's parents and had to get divorced they had to get divorced that's one of the best proofs that the Torah is authentic why if M wrote it out of his own free will out of his own mind why in his right mind would he go up to the mountain come down from the mountain hey ABA IMA hey by the way I love you guys we have to get divorced at at the very least you say AB since I'm the one that wrote the Tora your grandfather then don't have you don't have to do anything don't worry about it say first thing they have to do ab you have to get divorced is already not the issue not the not the issue of marrying your ant that only came after mat we also learn is from yov who married two sisters Yu married two sisters he's allowed at the time to marry two sisters because at the time we don't have Matan even though they kept the laws they kept them as noahides and they kept them as far as what their limitations were they didn't keep him like kept him after mat didn't become official now I'm comes to is and he tells them listen this he's killing us every boy that's born he's killing us every boy M what the boy do he just born he didn't even do anything he didn't even like curse him out nothing he didn't have a chance to do anything yet already killing them so why are we going to bother having kids carry the baby nine months M and then you know the say that one of the Miracles that made Amisa greater than Egypt that made the Egyptians decide to only kill the boys but not the girls if they want to destroy us kill the girls too says no no no we want to keep the girls why keep the girls because every birth was six kids so he said look the Jewish women the Israelites they're great let's let's keep the women for ourselves we can grow every time we're with them six Egyptians six muhammads six Mustafa we going to become two billion within a couple of uh Generations China or or Mustafa today so now what happens they start killing us but they kill the boys only so amam says what are we going to have this for for what we're going to be carry the babies just to kill them for what divorces five years old little Piccolo tiny ABA Aba you're a uh worse than par what excuse me you're worse Thana my daughter's only two and a half 5 years old she tell me I'm not giving her another chance not saying let me see why I'm gave her a chance why why why why am I worse than says's decree was to kill only the boys your decree to divorce the wives to not have any more you know any more kids is killing the boys and the girls why because you're you got divorced to Ima you're not gonna have any more kids now everyone's going to follow you everyone's going to divorce their wives so no kids at all so no boys and no girls your decree is worse than par your decre is worse than par why is it worse than paros is wicked meaning that maybe what he says happens maybe he doesn't because doesn't have to fulfill his will you're sadik if you say hasm does why you says it a few places so now imagine giant of giants never sinned in his life look at a 5-year-old just rebuked them and she's right between you and me you listen I don't listen I I I I I pretend like I didn't happen I'm telling you personally I'm tell I pretend like it doesn't happen five what he know 5 years old next week I'll find something I'll find new excuse so I'll pretend like it's my idea 5 years old I'm going tell the whole world listen I made a mistake my 5-year-old just rebuked me that's what he did that's what he did why that's isit that's a is that's why so had the intuition had the ne had the prophecy that this had to happen at five years old and because of her and because of how am responded mosenu was born he married she she was she got $10,000 $10,000 ABA IMA nice to meet each other get married all over again mosenu is born a year later she's six years old she has little mosenu little she does everyone know this little mosenu is going to become big mosenu the prophet of all prophets why listen to rebuke of a five years old so this very same Miram she sees everything she leaves with us Egypt she's in a desert with us there's a whole river a fresh water following am for 40 years due to her Merit she dies the river dies it says what's what's what do we have to remember it says the one time she sinned what she sin she just saved yes she sinned once what she s what she do you remember it says that she said something not so appropriate about mhu her brother she said Moshe she was talking to Aon she talking to one of the guy you know she talking to her brother one of the other not talking to the rest of the people he's not making an announcement he's talking to Aron someone who understands another leader our brother Moshe he left his wife Tora why why do he think he's buried maybe he's a little go maybe he's uh thinks of himself now cuz God speaks to him why we're prophets also well he's a prophet we're prophets also in her level that was considered in her level is considered distasteful speech against the and hasem came out from the heaven and a b call came out and says no he's not a prophet like you you're a prophet yes but not like M and he punished her with Sarat Sarat is both a spiritual and a physical disease only cure is God doesn't matter what medicine you have and when you have it you have to one of the cures is to do chuva the main thing you have to do is chuva how do you do chuva bring embarrassment to yourself someone you have to you have to they first of all they throw you out of the camp because you're gonna infect other people they throw you out of the camp so everyone knows you spoke about somebody else in a negative way to make others distance themselves from him or from her so the the the actual punishment is for everyone to distance themselves from you so first of all everyone knows you are you are a guy speaks bad bad bad things about other people everyone knows you have a tongue doesn't stop get out that's first thing that's first thing second second thing is that when you're outside of the camp no one's allowed to be next to you and if someone doesn't know you have it don't have it they come you know they're on their horse they're on their camel they're on their donkey they're coming down and you're over there in your little Camp outside of the camp you're in your little Hut over there and someone comes down the street you have to come out and start screaming no meaning I have tat you have to tell people I have you have to tell people hey I have it's like someone say I have AIDS AIDS AIDS who wants to do that you have to bring embarrassment to yourself so page [Music] 66 says but that's only one Sarat if you saidat once we understand you're bringing embarrassment to yourself why you saying tat twice turn twice say tatat if it's once for if it's for embarrassment say it once why is he saying it twice he says the second time is to make them feel bad for you why you make other people feel bad for you they pray for you they pray for you they have more Meritage than you second time make other people feel bad for you why they pray for you they pray for you that's where we get one of the sources where you guys always see oh you know so and so something happened pray for them T this that's the source and say oh why do we pray for people why you pray for people why you now technically if something happen in some house or some place you're not allowed to announce it to the world if somebody just uh ruined their car they're a bad driver you start telling hey by the way Joe over there is a terrible driver not to say it but if you say Joe got into an accident pray for him why you make other people feel bad for him pray for so as holy as she was she got Sarat why she said one thing one thing a little doubt she had a little saf about mosu so if can getat such a horrible horrible disease that mosu was the only one that was able to cure he prayed for one time five words finished but the whole nation prayed for nothing happened M said five words finished cured why doesn't matter how holy you are garbage comes out of your mouth you have a sewer mouth there will be an outcome a really bad one next one which is the reason why we set this whole list for to remember hem your God to remember Hashem your God this is aah in out of the 63 from the Torah seven from ranan 620 total one of those mitv from the Torah says remember God why you remember God because he's the one who gives you power to acquire wealth he's the one that gives you power to do anything if you think about it logically it's not logical to not remember God it's illogical not to remember God why where do you think it came from what' you come from nothing you have to come from somewhere the money just appear what you just came up with the idea on your own who cre your brain who gave you eyes who gave you ears who gave everything it's illogical to forget God but nonetheless we do it all the time nonetheless we do it all the time and the reason why is because we turn ourselves into our own Gods we give ourselves the credit I'm the one that thought of this new invention I'm the one that picked this investment I'm the one that decided to work at this time at this time at this place and such and such me me me constantly giving ourselves the credit hasem says remember me what is it like a king only has one daughter and he says to the daughter give you anything you want your husband that you going to marry one day I'll give him anything he wants okay one day she grow up she gets married and the this guy just comes in he says listen I'll give you guys whatever you want oh really sure we want a house no problem where do you want the house how big you want the house I want the house in this place at this time $10 million house no problem I want a car on Monday a different car on Tuesday different car on Wednesday and a chopper and a plane and a food and the servants and this and that anything you want to give you okay what's the condition is a price for this or not it's free nothing's free in life he says there's only one small thing that I want the king says only one small thing where you go you have this vacation house you have the other house you have the car on Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday and Saturday you have all these different things that I'm giving you I'm paying for it just make sure to give me a little bit of room just one tiny little room doesn't have to be a big room you have a house 20,000 sare ft give me a room no big than a small bathroom something small tiny but just give it for me don't give it to anyone else just a room for me sounds logical come on you're not going to give it to he just paid for the house you should take the whole house you should have the little room what happens one day the king shows up hello hello I I I need a place to sleep I need a place to pray I need a place to eat I need a place to rest oh I'm sorry we're busy come back next week unfortunately that's us when we forget about God he gave us everything he gave gave us Z he gave us P he gave us kids he gave us everything we have we forget to give him a little room every day that's why there's a MIT hasem says I know I created you I created you that way because you had to work on this MIT in order to fulfill it you have to constantly proactively remember me that's why you have to say it at the end of your it's not part of your it's at the end why it's an extra effort that part it's the end because the which we'll talk about now is the part you could easily become used to and become robotic the last Mitzvah that you are obligated to remember was it says remember remember that the days of the M are going to come and Y is going to be rebuilt and will be great again but right before that he tells you about remember God why the only chance you going be able to survive to see the last one the only chance you'll have to see this is you fill the first nine now it seems very logical for us to remember God but our in and a few other places when we say both in Shabbat as well as during the week prayer lay us down to sleep our father in peace and raise us up our King For Good Life raise us for Good Life give us peace shelter and so on and so forth we're asking for all these wonderful things and then one of the things that we ask for break and remove the Satan from before us and from behind us meaning is asking hem do something we can't do you created this Satan this this says it's all three is the same one and he has a role first role is to convince us to do something against you after he convinces us to go drive on Shabbat even to theet after he convinces us to eat non kosher even though it looks good after he convince us to marry a non-jew even though they're very nice people after he convince to do something against you but he doesn't convince us just by time list and go against God no one actively goes against God if they have still their sanity in their brain what does the Satan do he does something that the Greeks did in kanuka what was so different about the Greeks than any other Nation the Greeks did something extraordinary and they came to us just like the Satan comes to us and that is like a friend he doesn't come to you as an enemy and say he Nazi Germany kill everyone in sight no he says hey come come come to my house with have K yeah k no problem K we do K what you want to do what's the K about oh K wine no problem I have wine it's it's kosher wine we'll make it kosher I'll bless it for you I'll bless it for you I remember in public school I was a little kid my non-jewish friend tell me what you went koser I'll bless it for you don't worry I'll bless Burger I'll bless it for you it was a joke I didn't know what it meant but it was funny little do I know that that's the Greeks 2,000 years ago so I'll bless it for you whatever you want they come to you as your friends they don't come to you as your enemy that's whyu said tohm save me from my brother save me from as but it's he only had one brother he only had asav as his brother what do you mean save me from my brother save me from is why you repeating yourself when he's as it's obvious he's trying to kill me physically when he's a when he's my brother you can't tell the difference he looks like aik he looks like a normal Jew he looks like a regular looks sadik I don't know he's right wrong I don't know he's trying to kill me I don't know that really he's a Messianic Christian or something like that like all of these organizations that are donating to Israel because we love Israel all these Christian organizations donate hundreds of millions of dollars hundreds of millions of dollars to Israel hundreds of millions I mean to to America it's not like much it's America a small little nonprofit organization has 300 million in Israel someone donates a few hundred million it's a big deal it's a significant percentage of the GDP so when you have Christian organizations donating hundreds of millions of dollars to to the country even more so they help you move there they help Jews move to sounds this is this is the righteous among the Nations you would think there organizations they call themselves oh we're one for Israel one for this one for that Christians and Jews all types of things and some of them even have Orthodox rabbis on the board on the board of directors you have Orthodox rabbis and the Orthodox rabbis are proud of this they tell they write papers and they write articles yeah I've been part of this organization since it's founding 20 years ago and we facilitated tens of millions of dollars to go to this ke boots and that ke boots and this one and that one and what all of a sudden anus likes us what happens what happened what how how could this be you don't need to believe me you could just check yourself and you could see that the ultimate mission of every single one every single one of these Christian organizations without a single exception they could say whatever they want but if they're Christians their job is to missionized if they're Christians their jobs is to make Jews Christians that's their job why their Bible says so you cannot be a Christian without missionizing you be a in Christianity you be a heretic of Christianity if you're not a missionary you cannot be a Christian without missionizing they could tell you no no we love you we're not missionizing the pope loves you the Janam loves you theik everyone loves you even Hitler I'll convince them too they love you yeah they'll tell you they love you that's the Satan that's asab asab is going to tell you I'm your brother and unfortunately my brothers and sisters the most upsetting thing about the missionary world that I deal with is that I found out a very disturbing fact that the Jewish World apparently is just not acknowledging not realizing not understanding not accepting not believing or maybe just is ignorant of to complete just foolishness the largest most successful missionary organizations in the world the largest and most successful organizations that take Jews from to Christianity to the New Testament to the guish over the world are Jews the leaders the preachers the speakers the funders the ones that you see on TV the ones that you see on YouTube the ones that you see that speak and cheer Jews Jews not Jews like maybe no no Jews 100% mom and Abba both Jews but they discovered Jesus they discovered JC Penney they discovered Macy's they discovered all these things now they want to ruin am so you have these organizations that have literally an infinite amount of money infinite amount of money there's no check they can't fill all they they need to get bigger checks to fit the big numbers and they want to pay whatever you want you want a house we'll give you a house just just say you don't believe in the Torah and believe in this thing just leave Judaism live live enjoy we'll give you money we'll make you enjoy this life go to clubs go to pubs go to Runway shows go to this go to that be a TV producer TV manager whatever you will give you whatever you want just don't be a religious Jew that's it this is why you see like imim these two Jews that unfortunately are Christian missionaries but they call themselves Jews Jews for Jesus Jews for this Jews for that I think it's one for Israel or one for gay whatever it is these two Israeli guys now who do they they have interviews they have people they interview them this guy found Jesus this guy found JC Penney this guy's the mashiah this for this all these different garbage things that they say now they don't bring you some uh you know some guy from uh China he said oh hi how are you yeah I was in China I didn't know anything I thought Buddha was God now Jesus is they don't bring you that guy they don't bring you Mustafa from the Palestinian people from Saudi Arabia says oh yeah I thought Muhammad was this Muhammad was that no no no it's they don't bring you that guy who do they bring you who every single day you go to their websites if you want to ruin your eyes and your mind for at least a week interview after interview after interview after interview of Jews Jews who left the Jew why because the Christianity to to amalik that's the purpose of life that's the purpose of life ruin ruin that's it that's only that's the only only reason they exist so the fight against the Greeks only started 2,000 years ago and anyone thinks that it's finished is living an illusion we're in worse shape today than we were 2,000 years ago because 2,000 years ago was easy to identify who was the original Yani who is the original Greek even though the Jews started wearing clothes like the evani started wearing clothes started acting even started Idol worshiping like the Greek it was still identifiable thaty this yeah that's hey calls himself now uh whatever Theodor but it's we know it's easy to identify who's was easy to identify who's jaob it was easy to identify who's Moshe it was easy just began today you don't know who's asav and you don't know who's jakov you don't know who's Jewish and you don't know who's not you don't know who's on your team you don't know who's against you why because we're all worried about ourselves we're worried about all the things that we're dealing with we're so busy with our lives we're so busy competing with the Joneses that we forgot God and that's why it's an obligation for us to say every single day at the end of the of and if you don't have the time or the ability or the memory to remember to do it after sh just do it at any time the 10 remembrances could be done at any time during the day and it helps you fulfill several mitv one of the most important ones is number nine in it which is remember God I know it seems ridiculous but if it was as ridiculous as it sounds it wouldn't be a Mitzvah and that's why in when we're asking hem to help us to give us Comfort we're also asking him to fight the Satan for us the one behind us and the one in front of us the one behind us the Greek that we thought we beat and the one in front of us that we can't tell the difference of where our brother or he's our Rabbi or he's our friend or he's we don't know who he is why because we haven't been looking we haven't been looking we've been looking elsewhere we're looking at everything else but that that's one of the things that this kanuka at the very least should remind us of the fight just started and we're losing people daily we're not losing like oh yeah the guy just went to church he liked it and you know maybe next week we'll come back to synagogue losing losing the fight all the we're doing every single day every single day I get letters and emails and text messages of people did CH I have it's unbelievable how many people doing chu but I still know we're losing as much as I would love to Pat myself on the back I know we're losing the fight I had a woman sent me a message I think it was yesterday and she says she lives in uh Washington Washington State she was religious Jew in kabad and it's a known thing for them to wear wigs and she says that after I saw what you said and you know with the proofs and so on I decided to take off the wig and do chva cuz I realized this is a serious problem because I knew for sure that I could not confirm the source of my wig which means that it comes from it comes from India comes from idol worship over there now this was a very difficult thing for me but I knew that there was just too much evidence that I couldn't deny there was one other hurdle my husband he didn't like it but after I showed him the videos he did Chua he said it's a good idea but there was another hurdle the community were you going against the rebi your rebi how you going to go he said it's allowed but then I showed them the I show the evidence I showed the women of the community the evidence and now they're starting to do chuba you have a community in the middle of nowhere somewhere inab the place the the most difficult for people like me to reach why because the evidence is indisputable for anyone looking for it there was a new thing that came out just uh in the last week a woman said that she's been having dreams about thei now obviously we don't make Al based on dreams but nonetheless this is very interesting she says that labi for some reason or another is connected to her in some way some shape or form and he keeps coming back to her in a dream more than once he says they keep embarrassing me in shamay please spread the message to tell them I never allowed wigs whoever says it is a liar why would a woman make this up she wore a wig herself why she just decide oh I'm going to make something up and just come out of the blue make things up one time the king came to Shalom he says listen I want you to have another debate with the with the priest or the heads of the priests or Christianity why you have another debate they enjoyed having debates now was a giant problem is he tried running away from debates why having debates with the Christians is a waste of time either way you lose why if you lose the debate Jews may fall off it's terrible if you win which is very easy to win because the proofs are in front of you you have the Tor anyone knows a little Tora wins the debate problem is they kill you and they kill is why they don't want to lose that's why the ramban when he had the famous debate almost 900 years ago he refused to have the debate in the beginning until the king made it a law that no one's allowed to touch him but even after that even after the famous debate that he destroyed Christianity it's a very famous debate it's documented in the book and so on and so forth they made a movie about it also the book is better he documented all of this destroyed Christianity went to Pieces anyone that debates today Christianity versus Judaism just uses the sources of the of the ramban you win there's no way they can fight it it's impossible it's questions they can never answer thousand years more they still can't answer it so you look at this he made a law but the king said to him he says listen I respect you I respect you I agree with you everything I promised you not no one's I'm not going to touch you I'm keeping my promise problem is even though I'm King I still can't tell you what everyone else is going to do because right now you just destroyed their lives you just told them everything they believe is a lie and you proved it in front of thousands what are they going to do they going to say oh no no not we're going all do your mind so was faced with a dilemma but he was forced to do it and the King told him listen I only have one question in this debate how could it be that the Jews are right how could it be that the Jews are right just pure numbers logic beat you you look at the number of Jews few million you look at the number of Christians hundreds and hundreds of ion today it's almost two billion 2 and a half billion whatever it is it's a little less backed in a couple hundred years ago but nonetheless it's a huge number we're not even a estimate rounding error in comparison to them when you estimate the amount of people in the world let's say for example it's almost 8 billion now eight almost 8 billion doesn't mean literally mean 8 billion it could potentially be 7.96 billion which means that 40 million is a rounding error we don't even have the rounding error as am we don't even have that we don't even have a rounding error we're not even a rounding error so he's telling them look what you have that's just pure numbers he telling me all two billion people stupid all two billion people don't know what they're talking about you're right a few million of you because even out of the 20 million only 3 million obey the law so you 3 million are smart you going to G and everybody else goes to Gom that's it only you're smart only you're good come on usually it's the opposite majority wins so says to him no problem it's a good question it's a good question before I answer the question I want you and the K you and this Pope to come outside let's see if we maybe we get answer from sham we get an answer from sham holy man holy people King no one's thinking I'm not good enough to get an answer from sham the little Rabbi with a TI hanging out he says he can get answers from sh what the pope is not going to get an answer from shim what the king is not the answer from sh of course yeah yeah we get from sh all the time sure let's go now right now so they go outside looks at this guy wow look at that wow you see it you see it yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you see the Gates of Heaven opening you see it yeah yeah yeah it's there wow wow look he starts crying he's coming to see he's going to give us the answer he's going to give us the answer he starts dancing and said look wow the's Chariot it's coming the pope was like yeah yeah yeah wow wow and they start dancing and everyone starts dancing everyone's dancing everyone's wow wow wow wow and he starts describing them and look at the lightning and look at this and look at that and everyone say yeah of course of course you see it your highness I see it the pope you see it you see it of course I'm not going to see it everyone sees it and then she say to them Mr Pope tell me the truth do you see anything truth a between you and me you see anything at all 45 minutes not like five seconds like I did for you guys he's dancing for 45 minutes show 45 minutes show he's dancing to them after 45 minutes you see anything B you see anything I you see anything or not say bit really no I don't say anything he said your highness do you see anything bit seriously between us no I don't see anything was me too me too I don't see anything but did you see did you notice how just 5 minutes ago both of you saw it but you really didn't that's Christianity that's the lie you're telling me two billion people believe something two billion people say they saw Jesus they this Jesus all this garbage just because somebody said it and they feel bad being left out I'm going to I prepared something very special for you guys there was an auction there was an auction recently selling some paintings and I want to get your opinion on this cuz I'm thinking of getting a replica and putting it in my house and I can't afford $50 million obviously but I want I want your opinion on this because it has something to do with the shield now is a famous painter and uh his painting was uh sold recently for $46 million $46 million for painting now I know a little bit about art in um in high school I took advanced placement classes meaning college courses for art art history my final exam was a uh about um I had to write in hieroglyphics Egyptian writing I had to write hieroglyphics I it seriously I don't remember it but I did it 20 something years ago so I know a little bit about art hieroglyphics was form heart and a lot of other expressionist this is but anyway taste taste is different people's taste you know know you never know so there's some famous expensive paintings and I want you to tell me your opinion of these and which one you think is is the most valuable okay fair enough same price for all of you okay so the first one is this one this one anyone like it raise your hand if you like it if you think it's worth 40 million 45 30 25 nothing okay I don't know if you guys know anything about AR fine all right next one this one anyone 30 million 20 million 50 no I don't know I I'm second guessing myself showing you guys this art oh this is the same copy fine okay next one 20 25 it's $46 million in in an auction I'm telling you anyone no no yet ah you guys should have taken the class anyone the internet help me out here anyone nothing yet no buyers oh this the same one copy this one anyone 46 million 50 million 20 million 5 million five bucks anything nothing zero okay um oh almost forgot one one 40 50 60 70 nothing zero nothing okay so now here's the good news you guys have decent taste and the reason why is because you have common sense none of these are indicating anything because these are all the drawings of my daughter that's two years old the sad part is is the ones that are in this pile that you also saw and didn't like this one um the problem is it was sold at s bees for $46 million now personally I like this one the best so we're trying to raise $250,000 for the anyone wants this I can give you the original copy this is just a copy Sarah is willing to sell you the original but this was sold for $46 million $46 million was actually of people actually worked for this money someone had to work for the $46 million maybe not the guy that spent it but someone spent 46 million in this monstrosity and someone is going to probably spend much more money on this this is a chalkboard and the same artist who just died a few years ago just drew on a circles on a chalkboard this is what this is and this is just an a Scantron sheet sheet and it's also worth tens of millions of dollars my daughter's 2 and 1 half-year-old drawing is a 50 million times better than this but this is worth 50 $60 million why because people are stupid because people saw a bunch of other people say yeah it's worth 50 million it's worth 70 million it's worth 100 million it's worth this it's worth that so therefore some idiot says oh yeah you're right it's $70 million I have the check yeah would I make it payable too that's the foolishness of today that's the foolishness of the Greeks that's the poison but that only happens when you forget God because if you remember God if you remember him this can't happen you don't distinguish between the two you can call it art you can call it drawings you can call whatever you want but everyone knows the value that's being put on it is pure nonsense it's only because somebody said it's worth something and that's it it's not because it's worth anything so every day we have to deal with this battle every single day we have to fight this Greek because sometimes the Greek is inside us sometimes the Greek is outside sometimes the Greek is our friend sometimes he's our neighbor sometimes he's our spouse the Greek is the one that wants us to cut loose cut short shortcuts believe something just because you should not necessarily because it makes sense and this is the reason why in today's world some of the most difficult people to for me to deal with personally as far as to help them do chuva are people that are already religious if you give me someone that doesn't believe in anything complete Golem nothing putty it's easy you just fill them with information fill it with information the truth and you have yourself someone that's extraordinarily righteous willing to die for AEM a day later no problem you give me somebody that's staken either in Christianity or anywhere else no problem you show them the truth they want to die for hem a day later no problem but sometimes you take a religious person and you tell them listen you need to do chva and they look at you like you have three heads what do you mean I already wear a keepa so what if it's small so what if it's not like yours doesn't make me less religious you're right it doesn't make you less religious keep doesn't make you more or less religious in fact it's aabal mitvah said that if you don't wear one technically it's not a sin but everyone wears it why it's a sign of it's a sign that not only do you remember God but you're afraid of him and usually the size indicates how much the rambam was very afraid his keeper covered his entire head one of the heads of just a uh last 50 60 years pray to hem that he wanted to have the of the rambam when he is performing his job as a doctor for theen not when he's performing his job as a doctor for the Jews because he kills a Jew of course he probably has a lot of a lot of fear because he's killing another a future a destiny fine when he's a doctor for the for the Egyptians so he said I want to have the he has that moment I pray to hasem for this just for one day and he tells his students two days later when they ask him why didn't you come to the BET midash all the years you're known to be a m you never miss sick no sick there's no such thing as missing and he says to them my dear students Hashem answered my prayer and he gave me the that the r had when he's a doctor for the G just for one day but that level of was so petrifying that I was too scared to leave the bed was too scared to leave the bed so your keepa indicates that could be any color but indicates it your clothing of course there's certain leniencies for men that are not owed for women but nonetheless also indicate why if you truly believe that God is here and he's watching you address a certain way if you don't or you just think he only appear sometimes you don't doesn't necessarily make you less of a Believer ultimately in the Creator or not but nonetheless it does distinguish between and not but there are certain things that people like to create so for example there's this young guy that heard the Sho I did on Sunday in Hollywood and he got offended now I don't necessarily react to every time somebody gets offended by what I say but nonetheless I tried you know talking to him and he says he was offended because he understood that me I was saying that anyone that has a colorful keeper is not religious and that technically a uh if a man shakes a woman's hand it should be fine and if they hug you know it's fine because you don't want to humiliate her so if a woman wants to hug you or kiss you and that's the norm then you should be allowed to because it's less of a sin to hug or kiss then it is to embarrass someone because the Tor says if you embarrass someone we learned from the from Tamar you Tamar in last week's par Tamar decided that it's better for her to jump into the fire than to embarrass Yuda it's better to die than to embarrass someone why because when you embarrass someone thear says it's like you killed them so if a woman is expecting you to hug her and kiss her because that's the custom that you should be able to makes sense only in a warped brain it only makes sense in the Warped brain because one of the major in that's not a forgivable sin so easily that has the the the level of not sin is is a sex crime meaning if a woman that's not your wife comes to you and wants to be intimate with you or someone forces you to be with her or she's not Jewish or she is your wife but she's nid it's better that you die and not sin to that extent it's the same thing as idol worship it's the same thing as murder but it doesn't end there it doesn't end there it doesn't end there at all that's just the literal simple part the also include other sex crimes in there to such an extent that the the Giants of giants say that it's better for one to die than to go to a public school where there's girls and boys it's better for one to die than to go to a mixed Beach not go and be with them just attend one of the in the one time had a test this is a man that never sinned never looked at an inappropriate woman he was already old and one day he was given the test what test came to him and pretended to be the most beautiful woman in the world and the reason why is because he thought that he was at a level where he's not going to have any more tests he's not going to have any more tests not in regards to sex crimes why he's old so he said don't trust yourself until you die that's what the say he said don't trust yourself until you get old he changed it a little bit sadik change it Satan comes as the most beautiful woman in the world you have a problem why because you nearly fell another was actually Gil of um someone that lived that married mikal I forget his name that married mikal after that was the daughter of Shaul daughter of Sha but after she married David aik first and sha said no David aik is a his name starts with a P just forget it all the time and it says no no sha says listen David is AI he's trying to kill kill me he's trying he's going against the uh the kingdom his marriage with my daughter is not valid go marry my daughter this guy was a sadik and he knew doesn't matter what sha is saying even though he's the king it's not right but m is beautiful m is beautiful so he puts a sword in in the middle of the bed he says if I touch you I'll die by The Sword and he stays married to her for some time without touching her says that he reincarnated he reincarnated many years later in the days of the as one of theim that was given a test by the Satan pretended to be the most beautiful woman in the world and he asked one of his students to bring him the shim the things that you make on the barbecue and he put it in poked out his own eyes he burned his own eyes to such an extent that Satan fell over Satan fell why'd he fall says this is not normal person just poked his own eyes out Hashem was so impressed with him that he sent the ra to go heal him and RAF comes to him says I'm here to heal you you passed the test he says thank you but no thank you because I don't know if I'll pass the test next time I don't know if I so RAF goes back to hem sayem me to heal him what kind of guy is this what's going on with him he says tell him I promise him I'm signning him on my name I'm not going to test him anymore comes back down he tells him Hashem says he's not going to test you anymore says okay now you can heal me now you can heal me what do we learn from all this what do we learn from Tam what we learned from that is not just to commit the crime physically is also to see so when someone says yes there's a leniency to shake the opposite sex hands is a leniency to shake her hand yes you're right there is a leniency to shake the opposite sex hand if you have to in business or something like that for peace but you'll never ever going to see any of the sikim ever use that lency you're never going to see R in any of the pictures in any of the stories in any of his days of his life ever shaking the hand of the opposite sex you're never going to see theab Ever shaking anyone's hands never why yes there a leniency but just because of a leniency doesn't mean we use it and we'll finalize with this one day David decided that he's getting so many so many not so many difficulties and tests and tribulations in his life that he says you know what people starting to look at me and I see my son is trying to kill me Shalom is trying to kill him sick this that all these different things are happening in his life because you know what it's starting to look bad for everyone else they think oh look this guy did chuva this guy's tadik this guy's kados and everything else look at all the difficulties he has it's becoming it's becoming desecration of hm's name you know what I'm G to go idol worship not really idol worship but I'm going go into a church I'm going to go into a church and leave so people will see oh look see David really is under undercover sinner that's whym is punishing him so at least there's not going to be a desecration of hm's name so they're gonna think it's my fault not's faom so his Rabbi sees him he go oh where you going goes I'm going to he tells him the whole story go no no you don't have to do all that you don't have to do all that I can tell you why you're getting all the I can tell you why your son is trying to kill you I can tell you why there's a sickness I I can tell you why there's losses I can tell you all all the reasons for all your problems what's the reason it says that the sages to be is more significant to be a prophet it's more significant to be a knows T than to be a prophet so tells I can tell you the reason for all your problems why your son's trying to kill you why there's sickness why there's losses why there's headaches why there's stress why I can tell you why it says you married a woman that you shouldn't have married what do you mean I married a woman all the women I married fine allowed according to the Tor goes yes according to t you allowed but one of them you married after a battle right yes allowed the Tor it says if there's a woman that's after the battle the enemy has a one of the women that's there you convert her and uh after it goes through a process you can marry her no problem so I follow the Torah Rabbi says yes you follow the Torah but just because it's allowed doesn't mean you should do it because the very next verse after it says that you're allowed to marry a woman that's in the opposite Army at the end of the battle it says that a a wayward son will come out from this Shalom why is it why if it's allowed why is a bad son going to come from it why is a bad daughter going to come from it why if it's allowed because there are certain MIT in the Tor that the only reason hasem allowed them is just to quiet the Satan to quiet the yet to quiet the Greek to quiet the amalik to quiet asav not because you're really allowed to do it but if he didn't allow it you would do it anyway and then it would be a sin he said at the end of a battle all the soldiers have so much adrenaline if you tell them listen you can't go with this woman she's not Jewish she's not rude for you she's not this she's not that there there's so much adrenaline they just killed people they just fought they went through the war you tell them they're not allowed to do something they going to kill you she tell him listen yes you're allowed just wait 30 days allowed you're allowed to be with her just wait 30 days if you tell the guy wait 30 days and he knows okay you know what I'm gonna have it already he come already is is yet is come at the end of 30 days you already had enough time to let his calm down maybe he's not going to do it and even if he does it's at least after some thought but you still shouldn't do it why did Hashem allow it because you knew knew that if he just told you don't do it with no exit you do it anyway says David as holy as you are you follow the Torah literally here you follow the Torah and you said you did it just because you shouldn't do it just because you're allowed to to shake the hand of an opposite sex doesn't mean you should do it just because you're allowed as a guy to wear a tank top doesn't mean you should do it just because you're allowed to just study whenever you want doesn't mean you should do it you should study all the time just because there's certain things you're allowed to do doesn't mean you should do it that's where comes in the Greek is constantly telling us that hey I'm your friend I'm your brother this is allowed according to is allowed it's allowed to do this allowed to do this they're constantly looking for leniency this is allowed this is allowed this is allowed but that's why it's also sometimes the most difficult to help those people do cha because they're already religious but they're religious in the wrong direction so kanuka is here to remind us that the most important thing you can take from this holiday the most important thing you can take not just from this holiday for today not just for the eight days not just for this year but for the rest of of your life is that you have to fight the Greek the Greek could be outside could be the Greek could be inside that illusion that he's selling you that's telling you that this painting is $46 million is the same thing that's making you forget God it's no different all of you were convinced that all of them were very expensive paintings you just didn't see the value you just thought you had you know whatever you don't know anything about art none of you actually thought for a second that this is my daughter's painting if I told you it's $46 million you're taking my word for it they told you two and a half billion people are Christians because they believe in JC Penney you're going to take you're gonna take that word for it no you have to double check double check everything double check everything because just because someone says it's okay doesn't mean it's okay [Music] [Applause] [Music]
