How Can Filthy Mind Bring Holiness? - Torat HaChassidut (8)

the alarm goes off uh tonight's sh is going to be for the [Music] andal SAR um also there is a uh um I forget another name but ran Leana s s Leana aav imis May yov Ben Rael and Rael B so tonight we're going to continue our series of the but before we start I want to let you guys know tonight is you're in for a surprise there's a of all that uh literally when you learn it it shocks your mind a little bit just you have to digest it you have to learn it a few times just to realize that this is true and not a dream because if I tell you in a beginning what it is you're going to go crazy so I'll tell you right in the beginning there is a way that that filthy thoughts can bring kadus now helping countless people over the years with uh with the matters of of doing chuva for wasting seed for immorality men women young old all types of people married single one of the main things that makes it work uh and effective in helping people transform their lives and doing real complete chuva is not only the continuous shim about the issue that we've made over the years the film and well over a 100 or 200 sh about the topic uh but also the continuous guidance you know the the stuff that uh we deal with behind the scenes when you guys send me questions and the different issues that you're dealing with the different problems and we've succeeded in guiding countless people to do chuva and one of the common denominators among all people that are serious about chuva is trying to fix their mind because it's a they were got so used to doing certain things thinking about certain things watching certain things that now it's natural for them to think about filth so how do you get rid of that filth and I've heard that cry so many times why is Hashem doing this to me how do I get rid of all these bad thoughts well abai you're in for a surprise and I've told some of you over the years privately but tonight it's going to be part of the to understand how the thoughts of Filth could actually bring Kusa but before we get into that I want want to remind everybody we are in our last week before this is the uh this is the this is the big bed in shim pasin whether one lives or dies one becomes wealthy or poor one makes money loses money gets married stays single has kids stays without them healthy sick all of these things are going to be decided next week and one of the extraordinary ways that a person can actually help themselves get a better judgment is by doing as many to help is as possible not only helping them materially but also helping them in a way of doing kiru and our campaign has the opportunity of doing both of those because not only is one going to be able to help us feed over 10,000 Jews in is during these uh holidays but also you'll be able to uh get yourself uh get your name into one of our books that's going to be published later this year if you're one of the larger donors there are multiple options there of course you could donate smaller amounts whatever you could afford but if you are uh able financially to donate the larger amount 8,000 177,000 these will give you other opportunities and I understand that people love their money and they love it when it's on on the screen and when they can look at it and imagine all the things that you can do with it well this is what money is for money is for doing MIT that's the purpose of money and if a person uses it wisely they'll be able to take that money with them or the outcome of that money with them to but if they continue harboring and and pretty much keeping their money as a prisoner in their Banks then unfortunately if the bed and Sham decides that a person is not going to live another year like unfortunately many people uh have not lived to see the end of this year uh then uh the uh reality is that money stays and you can't take it with you it's important for people to understand what money is for money is for mitv it's not for uh just simply buying more toys so if anyone wants to donate and be uh generous go to bk.org bhk do.org uh bh.org also should work by now for most people but it's the same website and uh you could uh certainly donate over there if you want to uh send a check you could actually uh send a check uh by sending me simply the picture of it to my WhatsApp or my email and we could deposit it that way as long as you take a picture of both the front and the back of the check on a dark background you could also wire the money if you prefer I know that some of you that are from overseas prefer to do wire transfers so by all means you can do that uh Second thing is this is the last week that we're going to be doing the kiru store for a while because uh I'll be away for the holiday and of course celebrating the holiday so anyone that wants to order free books and USBS to distribute in their communities this next couple of days are going to be the last opportunity to do so we'll get all the orders out this week of whatever we have but after that it's going to be a break in the kiru store for a little while until uh after the holidays uh so go to kiru store.org order whatever you want it's all free uh we even pay for the shipping uh and uh distribute it in your community during this High holidays last but not least many of you have tried out the rabbi AI app that have uh either on ourm app or just independently you just downloaded the rabbi AI app and I've seen extraordinary results people love the thing I think it's the greatest thing since slice bread and for that because shows that our of myself my team and everybody that's involved in item has paid off over a decade worth of work is now available to you uh on a silver platter now of course as I said last week There's bugs and there's different issues we have to fix uh from time to time we find them out but so far in the last several days since we launched it we were able to fix everything we've encountered so far pretty quickly uh any of you that uh haven't tried it out yet or haven't subscribed uh try it out it's worth the money it's only 15 bucks for uh for uh the uh you know the subscription and uh some of you didn't realize that you can subscribe some people thought that it's only five questions and then you're finished no the five questions is simply free trial after that you subscribe for a small fee that's pretty much it and uh if you want to if you want to show somebody else that you love them you buy them a subscription also and uh for the subscription you buy for somebody else uh you could actually use that money as myale money uh for yourself you can't use myale money simply because you're actually getting something for it uh and it's a uh obviously so cost a ton of money to continue this program uh for Developers for the and so on whatever all the stuff cost a lot of money uh I'm not even sure if there's any profit than the $15 to be honest with you we'll actually have to wait and see the next couple of months if there's even a few dollars left of profit but the point is is to make Torah easily available to you guys uh with legitimate sources with legitimate information andm the people that have tried it out are telling me this is the greatest thing that the world has ever seen in the Torah and all types of wonderful uh you know a uh compliments to it so I can assure you that uh it really is that good it really is that good and it's only going to get better so with that being said we're going to get into it we're going to find out how filthy thoughts filthy thoughts it's the worst thing in the world horrible thoughts thoughts that you don't want to have thoughts that you shouldn't have thoughts that you have to fight against could actually bring Kusa to the world that's what theat is going to uncover for us through his words as well as as well as the words of and some of the other sages like the r some of the of bre the and of course some now we don't delve into the world of cabala very often this series uh has uh made it almost like a weekly thing where uh the the holy words of uh the of require us to delve into a uh you know into No Man's Land into a place where only Torah Scholars uh you know uh uh rest but that we Merit it that we see it and that we can learn certain parts of it together uh because it is relevant it is important for all of us to understand how to apply this small note that's enormous information in it uh to our day-to-day lives so the sixth chapter of the builds upon what we already said in the last couple of chapters about anyone that has bad character traits that are you know simply within them anger stinginess uh lust whatever it is that's within a person wants to get rid of them they could say the the Lash that we mentioned last week which is the seven Canaanite Nations the but just saying them by themselves is not enough you have to know what you're actually saying why you're saying those names and that for that you'll have to go to the last couple of lectures tonight he's going to give us another sort of A Lash but really more than that really more than that he's giving us another verse he's giving us another lash but really he's going to give us something that we have to build upon and the says as follows if you have an illicit thought God forbid you should say several times the verse in the book of d Deuteronomy chapter 23: 10 what we read last week you shall beware of everything evil say it several times and at that moment you should think about kaz's teachings the sages teachings that man should avoid elicit Thoughts by day so as not to come to impurity at night do not let impure thought dwell in your mind God forbid so as not to defile the sual intellect these are his thoughts these are his writings but of course the average person say okay so you know okay what's new here A whole world of new a whole world of new first and foremost we have to see what is he saying what is he saying here first he's telling us elicit thoughts thoughts of immorality thoughts of the filth that people see the immodesty where women are walking around without arms and without legs you know watching all types of Television watching all types of movies Billboards all the garbage that's out there this is not something you want in your mind but what can you do if you're in a business world you go to work every day and your customers show up that way your you know co-workers show up that way your boss shows up that way people in the street show up that way you're constantly encountering it you're a living in the world now you're not going to become rim live in a cave okay because even wasm told him to get out of the cave after uh 12 years so uh and end he had to come back for another year but it's a different story point being is is that you have to learn how to live in the world with all of this immorality with all of the immodesty with all of the stuff that's there you have to learn how to live in the world and yet not allow yourself to have those IM appropriate thoughts never thinking about a woman that's not your wife never thinking about an immodest woman never thinking about an immodest man for whatever reason or another women forgot to watch my tuna film or perhaps they did watch it but they thought it only applies to their husband their kids maybe their friend but not themselves there is no permission whatsoever for a woman to look at im's guys this is what thein talks about it talks about it and many talk about it in the itself there's no permission whatsoever for a woman to look at uh men that are not a husband just uh for enjoyment you know in fact one of theim said when two women were asked for directions bya they took their time to answer him and one of the says why do they take their time so he said oh perhaps they enjoyed how beautiful sh was one of the other sages took offense to this goes what what do you think they're just looking at men that are not their husband just because he's a handsome guy and of course he defended it and he showed no no it's not what I meant it's we meant something else point is that to teach the law women are not allowed to look at other men just because they're good-looking you want to look at somebody look at your husband look at your beautiful kids the end this is what a woman is supposed to look at you have to protect your eyes now again the issues of looking is not the same for women as it is for men but it's certainly no free ticket for to look at whatever you want whenever you want there is no such ticket like that and what theat is telling us when a person looks it's going to create a certain image and that image is not going to leave their mind this is the reason why you should not watch television with all types of programing com on it with movies with all types of uh people that are uh simply forget their clothes at home this is why you should never have these things I told people in the lecture in New York maybe 10 years ago any woman that allows her husband to watch movies and television in our house is simply married to a man that's also with other women that's he's comparing to her why cuz he's watching programs on TV he's watching shows everyone on TV is goodlooking and he's constantly comparing in his wife to everybody else on TV she's sitting there watching TV next to him she's in her robe she's comfortable she's ready to go to sleep and he's comparing everybody that's looking their best next to his wife that's in a robe it's about to go to sleep and then she's surprised that he doesn't want to come home the next day a woman that allows her husband to watch TV is a woman that is simply allowing her husband to look at other women and a woman like that is unfortunately not a smart one same concept with a woman that watches TV herself she will never be happy with her marriage why because she will constantly compare her husband to whoever she's watching on TV some Su superhero jumping buildings robbing cars driving fancy cars she's going to constantly compare her plumber husband her construction driver uh uh husband to this uh superhero James Bond on TV and then she's surprised why there's no schom bite these types of things poison the mind of course by TV needless to say internet needless to say all the other things that provide the this poisonous media to your mind and the is telling us is that these will create illicit thoughts God forbid and when they come because you have watched it before you heard we heard the sages say what they say and me repeat it and now you're going to stop because you don't want this garbage in your mind anymore enough fights in the house enough nights that the husband doesn't want to come home enough nights that the wife doesn't want to come home enough problems with the kids who don't want to come home because everybody wants to go in all types of places except home enough with all of that you're enough you want to do before before before but now what to do with all the garbage that you've accumulated over the last 20 30 40 50 60 70 years what are you going to do with all of it says you shall beware of everything evil is what the Torah says repeat that over and over but why why why that verse because is first acknowledging the fact that we have two parts to our n there's the part that is connected to Hashem that's the spiritual part that's the Torah part but then there's the part that is animalistic physicality wants lust wants materialism wants food wants everything physical like an animal in each and every moment a person must wake up the Torah part of their Nish the spiritual part of their Nish by one of the verses that is mentioned in the Tor that's connected to the desire that that animalistic part of the body wants because since it's two parts when you awaken the be part the animal part then the beah Rises becomes stronger and overpowers the Torah part the spirituality part which goes down as the be becomes stronger it leads to action he not only thinks like an animal he acts like an animal on the other hand if he watched the sh and all of the other lectures we've made about the topic over the years he doesn't want to do that anymore he doesn't want to be an animal so he he's going to think of some type of verse in the torat that's connected to the sin if it's a sin of let's say for example immodesty then he's going to think of oh what's a uh what's a what's a verse in a Torah that's connected to uh to immodesty that's in that says so I shall not see a a thing of nakedness among you and I will not turn my back on you meaning that a person doesn't want this immodesty to affect him he wants to elevate his Torah his spirituality his connection to God higher he thinks about this that Torah becomes stronger that n becomes stronger and overcome comes the animal part so one or the two happens either the animal wins the b or the Torah wins at all times every moment of the day every moment of the day you have to decide whether you're an animal or you're one of the chosen people you're a person you have to decide now the in page 46a brings this up and it says first it a question about where do we know that in the Tora that it says that there's a warning to not say to not be a defer to not go to people and make up stories about somebody such as you know he took our money and now he doesn't want to help us all types of nonsense that people make up in order to serve their own agendas where where does it say that soar says well it says you shall not go about and be a gossip Monger says well what about why didn't you use the verse that you should beware of anything evil I mean that's anything you could apply it to anything no [Music] says no no no no no that you should prot beware of anything evil seems like it's a en statement that you could apply to idolatry or anything but no it is specifically referring to the issues of immorality this verse of referring to evil thing is that a man should not think immoral Thoughts by day and thereby come to T at night how do we know that because if you look at the next verse in the the tah after this verse it specifically says if there will be among you a man who will not be clean because of nocturnal emission and this the Torah is teaching us this is the evil D this evil D that you did this evil thing that you did led to wasting seed therefore we know that this verse that you should protect yourself from anything evil is not talking about but rather it's specifically talking about don't look at anything IM because that will bring the evil to you and what is the evil the evil is acts of immorality wasting seed and so on so that's enough no well no it's not why because we not want to see more we love more page 20 tells us more the sages [Applause] T there's a verse in the Torah in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 23:10 that says that you shall beware of any evil thing same thing same verse what is this referring to this teaches that a person should not think moral Thoughts by day and end up coming to Tuma at night because he watched television and movies and internet and all the filth and he looked at the pretty girl in his office and he looked at the cashier and he looked at this and he looked at that that's going to bring him to evil at night he's going to end up making sins you shall beware of any evil thing because that will bring the wasting seed later now the sages expand upon this and say that to transgress this prohibition against evil thought it's not necessary that a person contemplate about actually committing the sin as long as the person thinks thoughts that might arouse him and cause him to experience seminal Omission he has thereby transgressed this prohibition says and so does the Tanya in chapter 1 in section 11 in fact even contemplating on his own wife is forbidden under the law if he's not going to fulfill those thoughts because it can lead to wasting seed accordingly the prohibition of both of this both berot applies it seems seems like it applies only to men seems like women are not prohibited to gaze at uh at men or men are also you're also forbidden from gazing at animals when they're procreating and so on but says the Torah yes this particular verse does but there's another verse that says you shall not stray after your eyes this is what we say in is and say Feinstein from there we learn that this particular verse of protecting your eyes refer is pertaining to both men and women because it leads to immoral thinking it leads to filthy thoughts and these filthy thoughts damage the soul so now that we have repeated some of the things we've known perhaps some new things we have have to build further the told us that if these evil thoughts these illicit thoughts entered your mind you should say the verse but after you say the verse at that moment you should also think about kaz's teachings the sages teachings why why do you have to do both why isn't it like last week's lash where just saying that statement is enough if you remember correctly the saying the statement by itself was not enough you have to say the statement plus you have to know what it meant here's the same thing but why why is this extra it seems like an Overkill first a person needs to know that when a person looks at the T learns T they have to not compare it to anything else why because everything else that you're doing for intellectual stimulation or for career purposes or so on is as deep as the things you're seeing whereas the Torah is as deep as the ocean or deeper than the ocean in fact the benai says that one of the reasons why the gar and um that we mentioned initially mentioned that this verse is connected to and so does the in in where it talks about how this verse is also connected to is because is connected to wasting seed how the the breit mil and the breit of the mouth there they're both breits and the word for mouth is p gatria 85 the word for for milit mil is also 85 and Mila not only stands for Brit mil the circumcised member but also mil which is word so the Ben says if a person only says holy things they're going to be able to protect their ble also KES don't touch but if a person says filthy things lies curses gossip all of those things it's only a matter of time before they become an immoral person too and this is why you always see that sometimes when marriages struggle there's always a common denominator what one of the uh people either the husband or the wife are a permanent student of the Satan by saying on a regular basis every day you know just like you're supposed to say to every day and is every day she says every day and then she's surprised that there is problems in the house the also tells us furthermore that the fact that the learning talmud learning the G is the ultimate defense against beating the's wife is not a coincidence but talmud is the same gatria as the's wife's her name her name and talmud same gimat why the talmud is the Ultimate Weapon learning the tud deeply with sweat with effort is the ultimate tool to defeat the Satan's wife now when a person sees what theat is saying say a verse but then think about the words of the sages the lectures of M these things are going to help you so we would think naturally well it's either one or the other either you watch a Shure or you say this verse since saying the verse is much faster I'll just say the verse wrong he's saying do both why do both why do both isn't an no kill you see every verse in the Tah must be combined with the oral tah because the written tah is considered figuratively speaking like the male the husband because it doesn't give birth to anything there's no new verses in theah no matter how much you try no no matter how many missionaries tell you there's something new there is nothing new Under the son the five books of Moses stays the same nothing changes in fact the mid says that the letter UD the letter UD came and cried to about how he violated the Tor because the Torah says you should not have many wives and should have not have many horses how could that be he used my he used me to do all these things what's going on hasem says as big as a sadik as was wases was king of the world the greatest time that ever had in the world was when schl was King over all the world but yet schl made these two mistakes and a says about schl let scho and a thousand like him die and not even one UD the smallest physical letter in the Hebrew alphabet will be missing from aah nothing will ever change from a toah he made a mistake he has to pay for that mistake there is no such thing as oh no no big deal there's no no big deal so now this Torah that never changes doesn't give birth to anything new but in order to understand it you need the oral tah you need the oral tah it tells you 12 times in the tah that if you if somebody desecrates Shabbat it's a death penalty so that means that every if somebody's driving on Shabbat if somebody's turning on and off electricity if somebody is doing any type of cooking whatever they're doing they're doing business on Shabbat every second that they are violating Shabbat is a new death penalty from sham every second it's not like a one thing every second that they're continuing it's a new penalty again it's a new sin so a person needs to know how do I keep Shabbat now if you look in the Tora you're not going to know how to keep Shabbat why because all of the details of how to keep Shabbat and how not to violate it are in the oral Torah and therefore the oral tah is the female that keeps breeding that keeps producing more and more new insights more books more of course we have our foundation that's the that's the Mish then we have of course our we have our we have we have but the oral T continues to expand continues to grow there are millions of books already that we have for the last few thousand years but every that comes out with a new book like the books will come out with later this year that is going to bring new insights new understandings of things we already have ba based on the tradition not based on new things that were creating out of thin air every that comes out with the book is an extension of the oral Torah every part of it is an extension of the oral Torah meaning the oral Torah continues to bring new babies to the world that's why it's the female in fact as you know in the talks about how a Jew that's in uh that's still in his mommy's belly has an angel teaching him the entire Torah but right before the Jew comes to the world the angel gives him a little hit on the lip and the baby comes out but he doesn't remember all the Torah that he learned there's been a couple of circumstances couple of cases known cases in recent years where kids came to the world knowing the entire Tor meaning the angel apparently did not hit them one time there was a kid that again saw him with his own eyes they asked him all types of questions and as they were saying the question the kid would repeat say everything they would say well do you know this book and he would start saying everything that the book says better than uh better than Rabbi AI he says everything that the book says there was another kid same concept they asked him questions all the books they'd say a page number he'd say everything on the page kids are three four years old knew everything and they wanted to check how far does it go they continued going from generation the he knew everything the mishna he knew everything the uh he knew everything the knew everything he knew everything the knew they wanted to know how far did he go they went all the way up to the Ben he knew everything apparently just like the tell us all of the oral Tor that we have today was already given to M so there been a couple of cases where literally kids actually showed what this says now this holy Tor has a male and a female the male that does not breed new babies because the Torah doesn't change it stays the same that's the five books of Moses the oral Torah that continues to breed more and that's why the T is telling us it's not enough to just say the verse from the written tah you have to couple it with the teachings of the sages about that verse all the teachings about immorality all the teachings about Kusha this is what's going to help you especially the teachings that say that a man should not have illicit Thoughts by day so as not to come to impurity By Night meaning all the things that encourage you to clean up your mind whether by fear or otherwise theed in chapter 73 says that you should remember he gives a suggestion of how you can do this now of course what I'm saying is not applicable to most people right now including from Jews but it's certainly something that everyone can do if they practice and they learn you should remember the 613 Commandments in everything that you see meaning that you should immediately think about the mitvah that's connected to anything that you look at for instance when you see a human being you should think after that you shall love your neighbor as yourself when you see your friend's money or his house instead of being jealous like most people are you should think you shall not covet it's one of the Ten Commandments or think about the mza that's affixed on his door or the Mitzvah of making a fence around the roof whatever you see you should immediately bring to mind the mitvah that's connected to it this will save you from inappropriate thoughts it's a brilliant idea problem is takes a little time to remember all 613 mitv to the point where you can apply to everything in life now the in chapter 98 which is uh in the name of the meaning the teachings of the says that the evil inclination tries to convince you to sin and when it does you should say several times out loud the verse that speaks of that prohibition this will remove your desire and the inverse of this is true as well concerning mitv and Good Deeds same thing what the is saying was already in the now the also by ofin inas says what the reason why these thoughts are not something you want is because every sin creates a kipa creates evil force Shalom and as long as that evil force is in the world the person will continue to have the evil thoughts related to that sin and that's why a person must do chuva in order to destroy that force from the world meaning that having that negative thought and getting to the point of making a sin and then say okay I'm not going to do it again is not enough you have to do chuva for the sin seriously to the point where you're not thinking about it anymore you're not thinking about that sin as being something joyful because so long as you think as that sin as being joyful as being anything good you're going to continue having the thoughts now one of the reasons that we've learned in the past of why having inappropriate thoughts is a terrible thing is what the says in multiple places the thoughts of sin are worse than the sin the thought thoughts of sin are worse than sin where the thought doesn't just go away the thought is something that creates a certain amount of damage as thean writes in the in in the fourth that what the says in in the fifth chapter about how Titus tried to desecrate the BET mikdash where he brought a zonah and uh he made sins in The KES making it filthy disgusting says that did not cause any damage in the upper Heavens anywhere near as much damage is caused by a Jew that thinks about things that are filthy that are not good by things that are not modest any Jew let him be 13 years old thinks about something L creates much greater damage in the upper Heavens than what Titus did in the Kash the question is why why why does it cause so much more damage now in the tunit film we gave an example of how the damage in the mind is much more significant than the damage in the physicality because the damage in the mind distorts a person's reality where he starts expecting unrealistic things from his wife or she expects unrealistic things from a husband they're constantly comparing each other to think to people that don't really exist they're constantly reliving the sin but there's more there's much more in fact when you look at what the sages said you'll understand why why it's so bad [Music] theph by the in the fifth chapter he says that the Torah teaches us in thear that there are three Partners to every baby the mother the father and Hashem the father brings the white parts of the baby such as the bones the teeth the mother brings the red Parts all the organs the blood AEM brings the mind and knowledge this is in essence the soul now there is the ious subconscious and above conscious I know that most people know what conscious and subconscious is but rarely is any ever talk about of the above conscious this is part of the to cabalistic World we're not going to delve into that now but nonetheless there is a uh part that brings and what Hashem brings is all in the mind meaning that when a person makes a sin with their body let's say he's stupid and he touches a woman that's not his wife in inappropriate place or she decides that she wants to touch another boy and kiss another boy that's not a husband this is a physical sin they're both going to have to suffer for itm is going to punish them but the sin ends there meaning there is the touch there is the sin but it's over once they're finished it's done they both can have to pay for it unless they do chuva if they do chuva will forgive them say I'm sorry hasem I'll never kiss him I'll never touch I'll never do all these things fine Shem will forgive them now is the time to do Chua for all the stupid things we did but the problem is that if he sins with the Mind meaning that if he continues to think about this girl or she continues to think about this guy or any other guy or any other girl whatever it is that's not some that affects what her mother and father brought to the world what she did or what he did affected what her mother and father brought to the world what they contributed to the partnership the flesh and blood but when he or she thinks about things that are not modest they're violating what a who gave them what's in their mind and there's nothing Holier about person than his mind why that is the room ofes between him and a between her and that's a room that only you and know about which means that when you allow things that are that are not appropriate into your mind that is a direct Rebellion against the Creator himself because only he knows about it therefore this Rebellion creates a much greater damage than even physical touch this does not mean that physical touch is okay because a person that makes themsel permits themselves to do things like that they're going to end up thinking meaning they'll get multiple sins but the point is that if somebody somehow only made a sin and stop thinking about it forever more and never repeated it again didn't then of course he's done he did Chua good but if he thinks no I'll do it then I won't think about it he's delusional why because as long as you keep doing it obviously that means you're thinking about it that means that not only is the physical Touch of sin but also what you're thinking about along the way and what a person has to realize is that these filthy thoughts are called filthy because they are the most disgusting of all creation and that's why says do not let the impure thoughts dwell in your mind God forbid so as not to defile the superal intellect meaning that the Torah is well aware that there are going to be times that these things will enter your mind don't let them stay there you have to fight them tooth and nail by doing all types of exercises mental exercises to remove the fil from your mind thoughts of depression thoughts of immorality thoughts of anger all of the negative thoughts must be fought to theel until they exit your mind do not let them stay there why they're the filthiest of filthiest no different as Rob FR gave an example as if somebody walks around they're happy let's say for example they are going to Shool in the morning to go to Shool they're happy they take a little walk they're in their brand new clothes brand new shoes brand new shirt everything's great and as they're walking they're whistling having a good time and all of a sudden they take a step and they realize they just stepped on something moist ah and everybody knows what they just stepped on and of course as soon as they step on it they're not whistling anymore in fact they're horrified they're horrified and the first thing they want to do is run as fast as possible to get this off their shoe get this disgusting filth that came from some animal off of their shoe and of course as they're running to get this off their shoe to go to some Fountain to go to some water to just get it off what do they do not only do they clean it away but they make sure that there's no trace of it left and certainly they don't rub their fingers into it they don't go like this and then go try as a little makeup perhaps maybe it's a little bit of lipstick maybe it's going to look good for me no they try to get rid of this disgusting filth as far as possible to some extent if they could burn their shoe they would burn it why it's disgusting disgusting especially when it's fresh especially when it's new the same goes with filthy thoughts when they're new thoughts they're the filthiest they're the most disgusting and a person has to get rid of this stuff out of his mind out of her mind as soon as possible why it's spiritual filth you have to get rid of it do not let even an ounce of it stay in your mind because it will cause a damage the stench will affect other places if you walk into that Sho with the filth still stuck on your shoe everyone will notice even if the shoe looks clean from the top is that you is that you and everyone's going to notice that everyone's asking is that you is that you except you what you step on something would you eat a dead cow what' you do here what' you do oh yeah I know I stepped on well go get out of here get it out of here you can't pray here no but come on no no come on get out of here we can't pray with that stench get out of here yeah but I've been a member to the sh for 20 years okay member outside member remember member comes from remember member outside outside with the filth outside when we show up to when we show up to Y we have to come with clean Minds we have to come with Minds that we are doing chuva and Hashem is going to accept our chuva because we've done everything we could we stopped the sin we committed not to do it again we gavea we were generous when it came to publicizing Torah we did everything we possibly could but if you're coming to sh if you're coming to r with filthy thoughts in your mind guess what in sh like where's that stench coming from where is the stench coming from from oh it's seat number 15 would he kill somebody and eat him what did he do here why what is this stench no no that's because he's still thinking about the girl from Thursday are telling us that when a person has filthy thoughts they must remove the immediately just like they would remove physical filth without leaving any record of it now the is not talking to criminals the say this is he's talking to he's talking to his he's not talking to criminals certainly criminals can learn from it but he's also talking to people that are not bringing this stuff to themselves on a daily basis in fact he's talking to people that are already protecting their breit already protecting their mouth they're not saying any they're not making up any rumors they're not showing any ungratefulness they're not looking at things that are not modest intentionally no they're trying to protect themselves but what can you do that sometimes in the middle of prayer all of a sudden some filthy thought comes up what can you do that on the way to Sho on the way to work somebody forgot to wear their clothes and they happen to be on your path of vision and now this vision is in your mind so what do you do why is hasem doing this to me Rabbi you know how many times I heard this little sikim trying to do chuva really protecting themselves 6 Months 8 months nine months into it sometimes two three years into it they get disappointed that they have one one of these dreams they have one of these Visions they cry out and say why why is God doing this to me I'm doing chuva and of course part of the guidance is to explain to them that this is a necessary part but now I'm going to tell you something that if you're new this doesn't really apply to you why you have to already be in the process of chuva well you've abandoned the sin you've committed not the sin anymore you're doing Chua for a little while before this part really applies to you but needless to say it's good to know because if you are going to do Chua this will eventually apply to you the teach something extraordinary if you remember we talked about the kipa the kipa is the side of sins the filth the spiritual filth now the talks about how there are certain special that were captured by the Satan said this this part of the at years ago where he says there were special says that the Satan was permitted to capture the of DAV the of Raba Ruth even asav special people the Satan had their souls as prisoners and when they came to the World they had the opportunity to either be the worst people in the world or the best when they chose the worst that was isav that was Ruth's sister op who married 100 men and brought to the world goat on the other hand when they chose the right they chose the the truth they chose the Torah it became Ruth the grandmother of David aik the grandmother of mashia became David became it became RAB AKA and just like the sitra has speci special Souls as prisoners it also has Sparks of kadus Sparks of Holiness as prisoners something happened along the way throughout history where a spark of kadus was left and captured by the and because a who loves you so much he's given you an opportunity to save it how that spark of Kusha there are sparks of kadas all over the world say that the reason why is went to Egypt wasn't only in order to soften the nation but also for them to collect Sparks of Kusa they were in Egypt the reason why we're in the Exile the four corners of the world is to collect Sparks of kadua from all over the world but there are also Sparks of kadha within each and every single person how much depends on the level of the Nish the higher the level of Nish meaning the higher the potential the more Sparks of kadha are within them but they're all prisoners and aadh who wants to give you an opportunity to save it how can you save it when you're already doing you've decided the sages are right you decided that is right the side of the Torah is right and I'm going to listen to it I'm not going to watch movies I'm not going to listen to Filthy music I'm not going to say filthy things I'm not going to say any lies I'm not going to be Dishon in my business I'm not going to cheat on my wife I'm not going to cheat on my husband I'm not going to cheat in business I'm going to do chuva I'm going to do everything I need to do in order to serve hem starting with Kus now when a person starts doing chuv it's hard in the beginning why they have to adjust their life they have to adjust what they look at they have to adjust what they think they have to adjust what they listen to theyjust who they talk to and so on and so forth but the process is successful and little by little they get better and better little by little they get better and better little by little they get better and better but then all of a sudden after they're doing great after they no longer think of any of this filth anymore they're not watching anything for months for years nothing all of a sudden out of nowhere he may even be in the middle of praying he may even be in the middle of just simply drinking coffee in the morning out of nowhere the filthiest possible thought enters his mind or worse yet a bigger ciper he walks into his office he's used to working with blue color people everyone looks like they're sleeping inside a uh inside an engine there's nothing attractive about anything even even the women that work in the company look like a motor nothing all of a sudden somebody tells them can you do me a favor can you watch the register for a few minutes I'm going to I'm going to you know take care of the body and he's at the register used to looking at Mufflers looking at Motors looking at oil looking at things that are just part of the world all of a sudden the kip ofip comes in comes in and she wants his attention she wants to be a customer she also wants maybe he get her a coffee too she's giving him attention the appears in multiple places sometimes it's in your mind sometimes it's in front of your eyes that Clipper is the greatest opportunity you possibly have why the holy books teach us that that test that Kiper is actually the spark of kadus screaming out like you know when somebody is in the middle of nowhere but they have one of these like little guns where they shoot it into the air it's like a firework they have it on ships they have it on you know people that travel in the woods and so on they want to get the attention they shoot this thing into the air hopefully somebody sees them and sees that they're alive that's what's happening right there the spark of Kusha that's within you and shooting out into the sky hopes that you can see him says I'm a prisoner I'm a prisoner please free me how can you free it pass the test pass the test don't look at the kipa don't think about the kipa remove any whatsoever about any of these filthy thoughts thinking words of Torah thinking words of the sages thinking only good things if the kipi is in front of you don't look at her cash register thank you go back to your position wherever it is in some Muffler do not deal do not be nice do not be nothing simply professional thank you very much while looking it down the end oh but how come you're not looking at me I'm sorry ma'am got to go the end why that's the test is giving you the opportunity to pass the ultimate test how the kipa has taken a spark of Kus prisoner it's inside you but you can free it if you simply pass the test if you pass the test the kadha is freed and now it's yours now your learning changes completely your understanding changes completely your mind changes completely Everything Changes why you now have a new level of Kusa that you never had before throughout the years we've had many of these Sparks many of these Sparks come from different kot I remember one time that twoot showed up to a toot we had a sh everybody respected the sh I told people men and women are allowed to come no problem as long as there's modesty and the men and the women sit separately and we gave these live sh every week a few times a week but of course one time we're giving a sh I believe it may have been in the series of and two guys that don't usually come to the Sho but live in the area decided to bring two kipot from some prostitution house perhaps to the shield Tora and of course as they entered late and as they entered I saw the entire all of the audience everybody that was there men women I think even the Cockroaches were looking only one person wasn't looking cuz I was looking at the people I saw the Ki is there you can't look anymore but at that moment I knew that the test is not just for them it's for me more than anybody me CU I'm the one that's in front so the sh had to change I think we were talking about we were thinking about we were talking about all types of nice things some stories that's what was prepared for that Shield but at that moment when those two cot came to the shield and I saw everybody looking I know that there's only one way I can save everybody there's one way how we're going to the grave and at that moment started the sh of that's when we started talking about what happens to a person especially EOD women in the grave when all of the maggots eat them up and turn them up into nothing all of a sudden everyone was looking at me and for the rest of the Sho they continued looking at me by the end of the shoe the kipot ran out as fast as possible without even saying goodbye with their boyfriends that were kipi like them and every everybody got strength why because that was what was necessary these types of cipot appear in different places different times you're not alone when the kipa shows up at your shop you're not alone when the kipa shows up in your mind you're not alone but that's your opportunity that's your opportunity you pass the test you get the Kusa that that kipa has hostage you get K is hostage now we have to delve even deeper to understand why is the thought of sin worse than the sin why is looking and enjoying the creation of the creator why is it so bad we're going to go to the commentary of Ru not to be confused with nearly a thousand years ago just a few hundred years ago on this week's par in chapter 29 there is a scary statement by kadosh where hasem says I will not forgive him there's a person hasem says I won't forgive him who is this person a person that says Shalom be peace will be upon me as I walk as my heart sees fit where he says to himself that in spite of the fact that he doesn't accept any part of the Torah which doesn't appeal to him he won't be punished seeing that he's only an individual's actions are not relevant to the vast majority of his fellow Jews who are observant meaning he's saying listen I understand that you're saying to keep Shabbat you're saying to protect your breit you're saying all these things I get it Jewish people religious you're supposed to do it listen for me I don't want to do it but hasm is not going to punish me he understands me he understands that it's tough for me he understands that I'm young he understands that I don't feel like it whatever it is and hashem's not going to punish me Hashem says on that person that says I'll do what I want and hasem is not going to punish me Hashem says him I will never forgive I won't forgive him if he dies that way I won forgive him he goes to G and doesn't come out not just for the sins he made for that alone for that that heretical thought that he lived with not just thought one time that he lived that way that I'm going to do what I want and hm's not going to punish me that hasem says I will never forgive him and ruak says the wicked person Prides himself with his evil deeds and determines to continue in his evil ways thereby adding more thirst to his whole system which previously was adequately supplied with moisture he had hoped to become satiated by indulging his cravings for sin his punishment consists of the fact that instead of deriving satisfaction from his sins he constantly feels the irre irrepressible urge to commit more and more sins instead of slaking his thirst for whatever it's instead of slaking his thirst for whatever it is he wishes to achieve he will find that he gets even thirstier he says that part of the punishment for this person it says I'll do whatever I want is he'll actually see that he will crave more sins even after thinking that he satiated himself meaning part of the punishment is hasem is going to allow him to make even more sins because he's now going to thirst more sins and then ruak says further more applicable to what we were thinking about before about the thoughts of sin being worse than the sin says as the sages saying that the thoughts of sin are worse than the sin when when they what they had in mind when they said that contemplating of the contemplation of the sin is more serious offense than the actual carrying out of the sin is that the sinful thoughts when they're carried out they leave their mark on the body for a person of a person whereas spontaneously committed sins do not leave such a mark on on a body contamination of the Soul by entertaining these sinful thoughts is therefore more serious offense than the actual spontaneous Commission of sin which had not previously had such an impact on the soul so the first thing that it says is what we already know which is that when a person thinks of a sin that makes a certain damage on the soul because it doesn't just go away whereas a person makes a physical sin once he finished a physical sin it's finished but this further if there was a person that entertained the thought of breaking into somebody's house if he's contemplating this sin instead of spontaneously stealing he most likely weighs what action he's going to take if his planning coun as opposition he'll think about how to deal with the opposition if somebody comes goes into the house he wants to take what's in the safe but all of a sudden the owner comes into the house or the owner really is still there what is he going to do is he going to run is he going to hit him is he going to do he says he's going to start thinking all types of possibility possibly even thinking that he's going to kill the guy if he if the guy's there because the guy's going to ruin his plan and thus in his mind he already adds further sinful thoughts before even committing the original sin and should a person ask wait a minute hold on a second how can the Torah decree penalties for thoughts that never actually happened how can the Torah expect a person to be so perfect that the tempt an intention to commit a sin never occurs to him he says let me explain we know that a man is in charge of his choice of what he what actions he's going to carry out and this is what the Torah said in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 30 verse 15 and 19 15-9 where hasem says this is actually this week's par see I have today given you to you uh into your hand control over life and goodness over death and evil you shall choose life just as man can control his actions he can also control his thoughts true the latter requires some preparation some education and we're thereby command ATT tent constructive thoughts and to avoid thinking potentially destructive sinful thoughts Hashem gives credit for our entertaining positive constructive thoughts whereas he punishes us for thinking sinful thoughts and if on the occasion a person entertains unworthy thoughts which creep up on a person Uninvited such as thoughts that reflect the fact that the individual in question has not trained himself sufficiently not to entertain unworthy potentially sinful thoughts the only cure for this is to concentrate on Hashem and what he expects us to do and how he expects us to relate to his universe and our environment one must relate to such unworthy Thoughts with anger at oneself for such thoughts to have occurred at one at all if he does that then he may rely on the saying of our sages that that a person that comes and makes a genuine effort to purify himself he receives Divine assistance that's what the says P 38 and there are numerous vers in the tat testifying to this principle the rambam added to all of this so before we go into the rambam just to explain what ruak is saying is that yes there are going to be Temptations and Hashem is the one that's sending it your way now if a person makes a sin superficial sin he takes the Apple it's not his puts in his pocket runs away that creates a certain amount of damage but if he starts thinking of how I'm going to rob this store I'm going to go here I'm going to break the lock I'm going to come at night I'm going to do this I'm going to do that and then he's going to start thinking of an action plan what happened if there's opposition if the guy is in the store what am I going to do I'm gonna punch him I'm gonna kill him I'm gonna do this I'm he starts thinking of other sins even though it's all in his mind needless to say when it's thoughts of immorality so even though you haven't committed a sin yet of stealing of immorality itself you did make a sin of allowing yourself to think about these things why instead of thinking about all of these sins you were supposed to train your mind with thoughts of Torah that does not allow you to delve into these things instead of thinking about hurting somebody you're supposed to think about how much you're supposed to love your fellow instead of thinking about stealing from somebody you're supposed to think about how you can give morea instead of thinking about immorality you should think about loyalty you're supposed to have for your spouse loyalty you're supposed to have to hem loyalty to to the bre KES you're supposed to have if a person learns to they're supposed to delve into those thoughts of to at all times and never allow themselves to think of these filthy things and therefore if you are thinking of the filthy things that means that's you that means that's You Close Your Eyes what do you think about what do you see if you're seeing filthy things that's you that's who you are that's what's in your mind filth whose fault is it it's your fault but you could fix it how replace the filth with toah yeah but I've been studying for a few months and it's still not replaced of course it's not replaced you've been thinking of Filth for 20 30 years you want it to be replaced in in two months takes time but but the point is that is telling us this is part of your servitude in this world not just act right think right and thinking right requires mental exercise and therefore the rambam says which ruak is quoting here and he explains the statement that the thoughts of sin are worse than a sin saying that the ability to entertain thought is one of the major factors elevating man over the beasts over the be and therefore abusing such a faculty is more serious than committing the sins with the body something we have common with the animals who are also lower forms of life perverting the very distinctive feature given to us by the almighty by contemplating actions aimed against against our creator is indeed an unforgivable abuse of the powers granted to us by turning the dominating element of his personality into a tool to commit sins the subservient part of man his body will automatically tend to become corrupted and when someone commits a sin using his instrument a foolish slave you using his as a fo this is not nearly as serious as when one uses a free man to carry out On's nefarious schemes this is what wrote at the beginning of this actually in the third segment third segment of chapter 8 so what the r is saying is that what separates you from an animal you eat it eats you procreate it procreates you go to the bathroom it goes to the bathroom you go to sleep it goes to sleep you work the animal works too what's the difference the difference is your mind your mind that's the difference but if you have only physicality materialism the acts of the beast in your mind then not only are you acting like an animal and are not distinguishing yourself from the animal but you're actually desecrating the one tool that gave you to distinguish you from the animal you're taking the gift the Creator gave you and you're throw itting in a filth saying should have been should have created me a dog should have created me as a cow as a bull as a horse cuz there's no difference between us and what makes that so bad when it's a thought rather than the sin itself the rambam really puts things into perspective he says if a person makes a sin he steals he acts immorally physically horrible thing but here he's sinning in front of another servant he's sitting in front of another servant everyone sees him okay yeah he did this he's a loser he's ugly he's this he's the ugly person and so on but everyone sees it he doesn't care he's a servant he's sitting inide in front of other servants but when he sins in his mind when he's thinking about filthy thoughts who sees those thoughts the other servants no the people he's thinking about no who sees it the King of Kings the king of kingsad is the only one that sins it that sees it and therefore says the rambam sinning in front of the other slaves and the in front of the other servants in front of the other animals okay that's one thing it's not good but it's not a special attack against the king but sinning in front of the king and the King only there's nothing more disrespectful than that there's nothing more disrespectful for that and to put things into perspective my son God bless him told me this he said one of these books brings the stories of the one of these Idol worshippers came to raban Gamel and he says to him this God of yours if he doesn't like idolatry why don't he punish the idols why is he punishing people gel that his wisdom was beyond comprehension says let me show you in a parable says imagine there's a king and the King has a son he only has one son and the son buys a dog and he decides to call the dog the name Name of the King after his father what do you think of that Mr Idol worshipper oh no that that that kid made a big mistake horrible terrible how could he do such a thing to the king to the father so says exactly so should the father punish the dog no says the idol worshipper of course not the dog didn't do anything it's his son he should be mad at he says that's exactly your answer the idol is a dog he didn't do anything it's the idol worshipper that's who hasem punishes and of course the idol worshipper didn't really like the called his Idol a dog but the point being here is when a person violates his mind and allows his mind to think about nonsense think about think about things that are against the Torah that's a crime against hem and therefore saysin knowing that we are human knowing that we will fail knowing that we will make mistakes tells us just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you have to keep repeating it the moment it enters your mind fight it tooth and nail to get it out of your mind now how can you fight such a thing pure thoughts of T the only way to fight filthy thoughts is with pure thoughts of tah and when a person starts to think of different parts of the tah that they've learned they'll be able to overcome the filth the rambam says that inappropriate thoughts only enter a mind and only exist in a heart that's devoid of tah and this is not some book this is what the 22 number 20 in chter 25 Number One meaning if you're thinking of inappropriate things it's only because you haven't learned enough to in the seph he writes that a person who studied the weekly Torah portion each day with Rashi commentary will certainly be saved from committing any serious sin that day and if a person wants extra help to fight what's in his mind he should do kiru help other people do cha for these types of sins is struggles talking to your friends about the spiritual struggles giving them encouragement to do chva this is one of the ways that the rights that you could actually fight those thoughts giving taka also rectifies the noctural emissions and for many of you that have asked or about the T for whatever reason or another many people think that fixes everything it's not true in fact if you look at the teachings of ran of bre and section 68 it says a person who experiences a nocturnal emission should recite the following 10 Psalms on the same day and he gives this Psalm 1632 41 42 59 77 90 105 137 150 one who recites these Psalms on the same day needs have no further fear about the harm such as that such an emission can cause any damage will certainly be repaired through this it's a very great tun meaning that this T is not for intentional wasting seed but rather if somebody's already doing Chua already fixing his mind fixing his body doing Chua across the board but still failed along the way where he had a dream he shouldn't have had to fix that you could use to to inspire your heart to want to do more CH you can use T but if you're continuously sinning T is gonna do nothing for you t is to help somebody that's already in the process of chuva or somebody that needs more inspiration to do chuva to inspire you to do it it's not chuva itself course other things that help saying when you pray with to kadish being very careful with shabat concentrating on the song of the sea if somebody insults you to your face being Silent not not responding in fact even rejoicing in your suffering and lastly says listening eagerly to that speak to your heart private or personal listening to helps now a person that wants to clean up their mind needs to know what it looks like like and who could we look at other than our what did their life look like what does a clean mind look like shom always delving in t over and over again these stories that I'm going to tell you are well known there's so many more of them that weren't even written because everybody was used to this already one day ra Shak walks into the ISA of over a thousand that he has with a little girl and he goes right to his tender and starts studying so all of his students thought that he brought his granddaughter and they come to the rabbi oh Rabbi wow she's so cute we didn't know the rabbi had such a granddaughter he look what are you talking about and he looks down at his hand goes oh he didn't realize what happened Rabbi oh no no the I was coming to the BET mid and this little girl asked me if I could help her cross the street so I helped her cross the street and I started thinking about to again and I forgot that I'm holding her hand I walked her all over here and she's still with me meaning he was delved into so much tah he forgot that he's holding a little kid another story is somebody came to the r asking him for advice he said Rabbi I need advice my Katan you know my U daughter's husband he learned with the ra and he's a good boy but he wants to start doing kiru and I'm scared if he's going to go from just learning to to go out there and doing kiru maybe he's going to fall from the level of to he's at and the r says well it's not true if he goes and he does he's not not necessarily just because you're not in the BET midash all the time doesn't mean you're going to fall from the toah say yeah but he's not like the rabbi if he had a clean mind like the rabbi holy mind like the rabbi then I know so R sh says well how do you know I have such a holy mind you don't know me he says well I don't know the rabbi but I know I can tell you what happened one time apparently your raban sent you to the store to buy cucumbers and you went you bought cucumbers and you started walking and I was right behind you and you didn't realize that there was a hole in the bag and you were walking all the way home and the Cucumbers were falling out of the bag and you didn't even notice I noticed I had a bag on me I started putting them in the bag and I wanted to see how long it's going to take the rabbi to actually realize that the cucumbers are falling from the bag and you didn't realize until you got to the house your bag was completely empty and I told you Rabbi here your cucumbers you dropped them if Myan had a mind that's delving in to like yours I'd feel safer last story is one time Shak comes into the BET mid like this walking like this of course the B thought maybe the rabbi hurt himself what happened to his arms and he's starting to learn and the guys that come to him like R are you okay he realized where're yeah yeah sure what's what happened to your arms oh oh no no I forgot them that way what happened oh no the raban sent me to go get watermelons and I had watermelons on my arms and then I started thinking about T and I naturally I go to the BET midash all the time so I guess I dro the Watermelons he start he still has the Watermelons on his arms now these stories may sound like delirious is does no it's just a clean mind could literally get to a point where a person only thinks about Hashem at all times they came toov kvki some religious people that were in the government with uh someone that was uh up for election some chief of police and he was supposed to win some election and they came to Rav kvki asking him for a blessing to be the the winner of this election and R kaneski was not giving him a blessing and they kept talking and he's not giving him a blessing then all of a sudden R kaneski says to the guy are you a Quin by the way no not a Quin so then they say okay well it's not a but can you give him a blessing he doesn't give him a blessing eventually he says bua bua and that's it no special thing no one knew no one understood why the rabbi didn't give this special blessing they were hoping for it seemed like this guy was going to be good for the elections for the religious people but they realized a couple of weeks later when the winner of the election was not the guy that they wanted but rather somebody that was a Cohen meaning that the mind of R kvki was very different we pray to remember tah we pray for hasem to help us with more Torah with more good things with he prayed for hem to help him forget everything that's not t meaning all he wanted is to have tah and therefore when your mind is so clean to the point where there's just toah in it literally it could be elevated to a point where Hashem allows you to see certain things where you're oh because the winner of that election is a Quin so what's the question why am i b why do you want a blessing the winner is a coin if you're not a coin then obviously you're not a winner people would come to him for blessings that would come you know multiple times you wouldn't remember who they were why because again if they weren't part of the Torah you wouldn't remember it how would he remember oh no but I was the one that wrote the book oh you're he would call People by the name of the book not their name meaning that a person can Elevate themselves to very very lofty levels now again the stories of theki all of these great sikim is not necessarily where one should should aim for tomorrow what I'm telling you is you need to get better because the upside from where you are is extraordinary you may not ever get to the level of even the shoe of the great sages but guess what you could still get better to where from where you are right now you could still remove all the filth from your mind you could still remove all of the adultery from your mind you could still remove all of that garbage from your mind and benefit from it and when it does show up along the way of your Chua you don't need to be so miserable anymore because if you pass the test that means you get the gift it means you get to enjoy the gift that hasm wanted to give you all along and Hashem will give us the opportunities to get gifts with the strength and the ability to actually acquire them and use them properly and we're able to serve him appropriately both with our bodies and our mind and prepare ourselves each and every day to serve him even better than the day before anyone that wants to contribute and help in a campaign to help am is especially now before the holidays to sweeten the

give you my experiences with it hi my name is sh Levy Shalom everyone my name is Jonathan my name is Moshe and I've been a contributor to RAB youron campaign since the start of my TR over the last

very clear uh on where the money is going I just wanted to give a short video and tell everyone how have personally seen and experienced the Miracles and the blessings that Hashem has given me and my family since I've started supporting B Hashem my mother's cancer going to remission my wife's pregnancy being easy and delivering Healthy Babies I've seen many miracles many blessings I found a wife had two amazing kids had an increas in partn I would like to encourage everyone to become a partner with this organization if you contribute to this campaign because there's not many like this that give so much to am Israel and I truly believe one of the biggest reasons is because of supporting bezat Hashem and receiving a personal blessing what B Hashem does is it makes you into a real authentic Jew according to the Torah because once you understand Hashem once you know Hashem and and and you understand why things happen in the world why things happen in your life uh this is the biggest wealth that one can require and this is the kind of wealth that no money in the world can buy only the performance of Mitzvah and the study of Torah can buy you that and I really invite everyone ask that everyone participate for their sake and for the sake of am Israel and obviously the sake of the world I urge you to open up your heart open up your wallet support this incredible cause by donating you're not only helping others but you're also opening the door to Divine blessings in your own life by really setting hashem's children on the right track let's make difference together one person at a time thank you and may Hashem bless all the sponsors and grow thez rat Hashem organization [Music]
