tonight we have the special opportunity devildis once again world renowned speaker of i- friedman who's being a topic of is your from kite getting in the way of your yudish kite is my cover the corner of our friedman for tonight's russia I could hi - we're entering the month of Elul it's an awesome month the preparation for a Shoshana and keeper but to appreciate the specialness of the month we know of course that OSHA Tavis one of the famous receivers for elbow is a Neela de david ad week so one parsec it says they d leave our knee like that the a brush the reaches out to me and i respond to him but elbow is an ela daddy with AD leave that first we do chuhwa we call out to the Ariston and they brush their response to us that's the difference between the month of elbow and the month of Nisan Nissen which is the month of Pesach we were not in a condition to call out to the eBrush day we were in the mem test shadi tumor but the a bridge that came before a day over arts me he came down to mitzvah he took us out and of course we responded left a shocker I by Midway but the month of elbow which is a Hashanah a preparation for today tisha is the is the evader of chuhwa that we have to do children and they burst a response the alta devil gave a famous Marshall what is the month of of ello usually the king is in the palace and you can't get to him you have to have protects you you have to know somebody you know somebody in order to get into the balance but in the month of Elul hemella the Keon comes out basada ml of Masada the King comes out into the fields where the people are working and welcomes them inspires them to come to the to come to the palace so the question is how do these two things fit together if the month of L is on Neil a lady and then they D Li sad as it fit with the marshal that the king comes out to the people working in the fields to encourage them so it's starting from the a burst ed the mela tha's doing it not the people so here is this really beautiful lesson why does the mela come out to the field it's not like a president campaigning for an election the mela comes out to the field because he knows that the people in the field want to come to the palace they wanted to children they want to be what a jew is supposed to be but they're discouraged because they're filled people they're not dressed for young Tiff's they're not ready for Yom Tov they don't feel like they're entitled to come into the palace but because they want to and the King knows that they want to that inspires the King to come out to the field and tell the people that they can do what they want to do they can come to the palace they are welcome no no special no specialist is necessary the way you are you can come into it you can come into the palace never connects this also with a very emotional the posix says with an with an IRA hamura so that if he was attacked in the city then she is guilty but ambassador Mitsunari but if it was in the soda like the mela basada then she is innocent why because Sarkoja neither the a ma'sha'allah so occur on either that's the neshamah the medal ish does a have refers to the neshamah as an either as a daughter so it's aa kahan Ida then the Shama wants the neshamah cries it wants to be what it's supposed to be but in Russia Allah nobody hears because it's basada so ha sido says not an ma'sha'allah but i in mashallah the a Burstyn who we can't understand and therefore called ayan yesh Mayan I in mashallah only the a brush to hears her crying and he comes and he that's the Mel of Masada that when the neshamah feels that nobody is listening because it's a it's a soda neshama but the a brush that does here and the mela the a brush that comes out to the southern to tell you that you are welcome that you should come and you don't need any special protection protects yeah so that's the month of a law which leads us to the topic tonight there's a big issue a big question the mitzvahs that we do are they let's say da gávea is it because the a brush that needs the mitzvah or is it what say the Harlem with side of behemoth abbrevs and there are proofs there are Suqian that indicate that it's litera Guevara but then their absolute chem that indicate that it's only let's say the harder in the gum earlier there are different opinions and mission that all sorts of quotes that seem to go both ways for example Mitzvah Slava Henley's nitnem if the mitts resolve for my benefit what it mean level endless it's not given for my enjoyment that's all for my enjoyment we talk about real enjoyment not not silly way knit my mitzvos elbow with side of bombers a breeze on the other hand how are the mitzvahs good for the person why are they good for the person because they serve a purpose with sailors Gouveia and when you do something with sailing over yeah of course it's gonna have a positive effect on you for example the Mishna says you shouldn't be like an avid that serves al Manaslu cabo pros you should be like the evidence Irv's shall lay on the nozzle a couple breaths yeah so it's obvious the obvious question is what does it mean be like a servant who serves without what do you need the whole muscle for why don't you just say don't do a mitzvah for the sake of a reward but the Mishnah is making a whole muscle you have an effort and he has an odin and he can either serve the other nominees likeable pro-social AI manaslu Capo press I think there's actually a gifts in the Mishnah not shale oil manaslu cobble press not for the reward but almanach a Leila Cobo press makes it even stronger Daffy can no no reward so what is the purpose of the of the marshal so it could be very simply if you say don't do mitzvahs for the reward and you go according to the opinion that the mitzvahs are not necessary with sale of Gouveia the a brush that doesn't need the mitzvot and now you're being told not to do it for the reward then why are you doing it if it's not for your benefit and it doesn't benefit him so what do you doing so the mission that has to give a marshal there is an oddly and the effort serves the oven that ever does what the master needs otherwise the only reason to do it would be for the reward so if he's doing it without a reward what does that mean the fact that he can do something that the ordering that his master needs that's enough reward he doesn't need any more than that so that shows that the Mitzvah is let's say that over for the abhrush this purpose you can resolve this conflict that's both it's half and half it's not only let's cellular gov it's not only for the image that it's also for you it's not only for you it's also for neighbors that you can work out these contradictions but listen to the to the significance of this issue traditionally being religious being Froome wasn't was not just behavior it was an internal process Cibola soil you accept the yoke of heaven you devote yourself to the mitzvahs you sacrifice you give up comfort you give up all sorts of pleasures in order to be free this is called floom floom means you make yourself a better person you develop good qualities you give up on your cover then you overlook your insults and you it's making you the best person you can be that's called Froome so Froome in the best sense is a self development front project where you mold yourself into the most noble to the most adel to the most devoted to the most sacrificing selfless human being you have to do mitzvahs with carvanha you have to be a true about Hesed you have to enjoy helping another person all sorts of qualities that the average human being would not develop on the contrary more Guyver more personal more selfish more so Froome is a very very tense project and that is to make a human being into something special that's called film what is heat escape Yiddish kite means it doesn't really matter whether you are the best person the nicest person the worst person it's not about you it's not about you the a broish that created a world and a bridge that shows the Jewish people and gave us a mission and we have to fulfill the mission if it helps to become a better person if that will help the mission then it's important if not it's not important let me ask a practical question are we supposed to be more generous so that we will give to dhaka or do we give to dhaka in order to become a more generous person you see here's the difference between between doing a mitzvah because the a Brewster asked or doing a mitzvah because it makes me a better person do you give sadaqa you should give sadaqa every single day why it'll develop your character you'll become a more generous person the feelings follow the actions so if you give the sadaqa every day the act will develop within you cultivate within you a greater sense of generosity so you will become about hesed if you give sadaqa you will become a better person or is it the opposite if it'll help you to give to docker by becoming more generous than become more generous as long as it leads to giving sadaqa because they eat the main thing is that you give the sadaqa it's interesting that pleasse wave is a mitzvah it is a mitzvah to pay off your debt you borrowed money it's a bit sort of payback what does it mean it's a mitzvah this is really really interesting it's not your money so of course you have to give it back what do you mean it's a mitzvah somebody gives you a Maskin somebody gives you an article to hold for him and when he comes to collect it you remember that he owes you money approximately the value of this article that he gave you to hold should you are you allowed to keep the article in the in exchange for the for the death or not technically you should be allowed but listen in Machaerus have been you should pay it back you should give it back how does that make sense it's a mitzvah it's not a question of who ends up with the money and the title is trying to protect the laver that he should get his money back no it is a mitzvah to pay a debt which means the image that needs you to do this not because the guy deserves to have his money back it's not you sure it's a mitzvah it's a mitzvah so being Froome can sometimes become an end in itself you become a better person you become a Mun noble person you become a more evil person you become a more impressive human being that's good what does it have to do with you this guy even when we talk about the tsadikim the g'day l'm of the past generations they were so kind they were so strong they were so honest there was a ok it's nice where's the Yiddish guy so if the Froome is starting to take over and it's becoming an end in itself then we are losing sight of our of our purpose the purpose in creating the world is not so that you should be a good person and what is Daliah today is very simple bodacious Bora le Kim as a shaman vessels delicious before you were here before you had him self-improvement ambitions bodacious in the beginning it starts with the image that he created the world so what should we be asking we should be asking what does he want if he created the world what does he want that we should become better people that's after we're born and we have a Yates Ajala and we have some weaknesses in our character okay you have to fix it but you can't say that that is bodacious so what is the beginning the beginning is he created the world what does he want and that's where the message right on the right on the first word of bodacious says be shreya slosh and Nick relations or bish real hot rationalizations what is the first comment the first reaction to bodacious brought a leak in the first reaction is what does what does he want and the answer is he wants Eden and he once stated mrs. bish real you slow Vishal hot either it seems like with each generation each package later generations the earlier generations were like angels and we are like human beings if they were like human beings we are like animals when it comes to self-improvement when it comes to personal talent we can't compare to earlier generations we will never have the qualities that they had because that was the time of preparing the vessel of preparing the world by refining the world by refining the human condition so that it can live up to its mission and purpose what is what is today today before the coming of Messiah it's not so much what kind of a person we become how great we can be now it's the finishing touches the purpose for which the a broish that created the world now is time for that there happened to be fulfilled and it's all summed up in the in a simple sentence I Neil Lane the RACI l-lois ambitious kind the whole world was created to serve me Adam when he was created the whole world was ready everything was created before him why because all of that was created to serve me to give me the opportunity to do what I was created for and I me I Neil a live Laci hello leshaun Misha screaming I was created to serve my my Creator question is why does it say I was not created except to serve my Creator why not say it in the positive I was created to serve so what is the length of it ac for its telling us something amazing something earth-shattering that the world does not really creator understand yep a new lane of racing if you're talking about me what am i how good am i how special am i how smart am i Laith of racing I need for my purpose I don't need to be created at all or as the game as the Mishna says baccarat Hatton I'll add the ball car Cohutta hi pal Kharkov had you're born against your will you live against your will and then you die against your will in other words it's not about you you don't want to be born you don't want to live because because you don't need this I kneel ain't live Laci if it was a question of me then better not to be born l-look so why am I born Hamish is claiming so it's saying very clearly I don't need this so if I'm here the world is created it does exist then it must be Lashon mrs. Haney because I don't need this we don't need this so who needs the creator obviously he created the world obviously he wants something needs something from his world and because he needs it when I do the Mitzvah which is his Mitzvah of course it makes me a better person how can it not of course it makes me eight more Adel of course it makes me more holy it's his Mitzvah I'm doing something for him how could that not have a positive effect so it is refining it does bring me closer to him because he really needs it I don't know if I mentioned this last time but it's a very good illustration we say that the word Mitzvah is related to the word Safa shafts of a Hebrew when you do a mitzvah it connects you to God connects you to the initiative so imagine a mother asks her son to make her tea every day three times a day chakras minimize for 50 years he makes tea for his mother three times a day every day four cups on other straightish at the end of 50 years he finds out that his mother never drinks tea never drinks tea she doesn't like it she doesn't want it she doesn't need it she never drinks he says to his mother my hai what was this all about I bring you tea for 50 years you don't even drink it so the mother says why I need tea or I need to for I asked you to bring me tea every day to give you an opportunity to get closer to me it sounds nice except one one big problem if she doesn't drink tea and she doesn't need tea and she doesn't like tea and you bring her tea are you getting closer to her you're not in fact if I want to keep you out of my life you're a nudnik you hang around too much and yeah and I don't want you in my life what would I do I would ask you to do me a favor that I don't need go around the corner see if the Eclipse is visible over there that gets you closer to me I'm keeping you out of my life let me show you the proof this son who brought his mother tea for 50 years finds out that his mother loves coffee she loves coffee she asked her other son to bring her coffee No so now he sees the mother likes the other son asked him to make her coffee which is part of her life so that when he brings her coffee she he is involved in her life because coffee is her life and him the mother says make tea which she doesn't drink so now the question is what is a mitzvah a mitzvah is like tea or a mitzvah is like coffee if a mitzvah is like tea then you get a big mark and a big star for obedience you were told and you did but if the Mitzvah is supposed to get you clothes tea doesn't get you clothes it keeps you fart and the fact that you o bathe who do you obey who do you obey somebody you can't get close to you obey a king it's never gonna be your friend you obey the principle he's not friendly with anybody so obedience comes where there is no closeness it's a big virtue it has its own myelin but but you can't call it south of a fibber it's not a connection and again this is why the Mishna says I'll tee you kavadi mhmm assumption as her love there has to be a love there has to be somebody you're serving that you're getting closer to and then you don't need a scar but if you're not getting closer it means you're not really serving so if you're not really serving then you better do it for Ascot otherwise you have no reason to do it at all so the simple words if though s Hashem Basim ha if the assertion if he doesn't need it if he doesn't drink it if this is tea how do you call this into a session it's nice it's not it's not even to a session it seems like in our generation the emphasis has to be on is the ambush to getting what he wants whether it's making you a better person that's not so important anymore you just heard an interesting story and tell me tell me how this this story makes sense back in Russia when there ever was a little boy in in Nikolaev it was a hot day and people were starting to become communists and so a lot of Jews were a little bit estranged from Yiddish kite so the neighbor was three years old he was wearing a yarmulke so somebody came over to him an adult and said Engel a it's so hot what do you need the yarmulke for take off the yarmulke so the rebus said you're not allowed so the man said it's okay that Vader will be on me so the Deborah said as a three year old they'd ever said to him what's the difference who does the availa if it's a sin then then then it doesn't matter who does it how does that make sense if the whole purpose of a mitzvah is what's Alabama's have Riyas it doesn't make it does make a difference who does it if you're doing it facade if you're doing the mitzvahs because you want to go to GaN Eden then of course it makes a difference whether you do it or somebody else doesn't how is it possible that it doesn't make a difference who does the availeth what does it mean doesn't make a difference it's a Nevada no matter who does it so what does that mean it means it goes against the a brush there so what's the difference who is doing it you know the famous of zuzia and the famous quote that he's not worried when he comes to heaven he's not worried they can ask him why weren't you made sure that they knew why weren't you I've Rama V no he's worried that they can ask him why weren't you delicious yeah you know the other story but there's another quote also in the name of ribs somebody once asked him if you could change places if you could be Avril Lavigne though would you like to be irrelevant you said no they said how come you wouldn't want to be Avril Lavigne oh he says the a brush that needs an Avril Lavigne oh and the a brush that needs a sucia what's the difference who's who as long as the a booster has enough roam Avenal a massage so what's the difference whether I'm the sucia or on the a flan as long as the eBrush that has what he wants that's I think what we need to be focusing on so I'd say a personal little incident we went on schwitters we went out to Minnesota in 1970 at that time there was a little shoe an old shoe that was there was fading it was closing up and they were just barely a minyan of people who had come older people but they were amazing so we have a min hug which is a good minute by the way that on Shabbos move origin the Shabbos before a new month we get up a little bit earlier and we say the whole tehilim with the Haddad sends the whole and it's good to do it with a minion and the cadei she left H so there were three she looking there were three Labov atures in the town and we were thinking who can we ask to join us to make a minion so there were two brothers from from from poland who were the most Leba dakea in the in the in the group so i went over to one of the brothers his name was Edel I said Edel maybe you'll come one one Shabbos had a four and we'll say that the whole the whole Tehillim in either she spoke Yiddish he says only one Shabbos out of four I said yeah yeah just one he says why just one why not every Shabbos I said I'm not trying to start a new mini you want to start a new mannan they go ahead our mini egg is one Shabbos my varam will you come he says you don't understand my brother and I we saved the whole to Hill him every shot this morning so I was a little surprised and he said now let me tell you what happened we were in a concentration camp for three years and then the Russians came and liberated the camp they opened up the gates and they said go home and we were standing there by the gates of a concentration camp and we didn't have a home there was no home there was no place to go leaving the concentration camp was was terrifying we didn't know what to do we were lost as we were standing there completely confused a non-jewish woman came towards us with a big basket and handed us a fresh loaf of bread so we shook hands and we promised each other that we're going to say that the whole to heal him every Shabbos morning for this kindness that the average that just gave us we can't compare they spent three years in a concentration camp and they can't get over the a bridge this kindness I don't know about you I cannot imagine ever being on that how did they do that how did they do that it's inspiring it's awesome but that's not what we need to be imitating or because we can't those were different souls our job is to finish the project that started five thousand seven hundred and seventy seven years ago so if we can do a mitzvah there's no reason to hesitate am I on that level of my dad film am i that religious am i that spiritual it's not about us it really isn't so if you know that there's a mitzvah that you can do what are you hesitating for it's like the mother didn't ask you to bring her coffee but you know she likes coffee so what are you waiting for I'm not the one who was hired to make the coffee it doesn't matter but a historian here when when Jewish kids god forbid get caught up in Christian cults it's almost impossible to get them out their brain just closes up there's nobody to talk to it's an almost impossible I've been doing this for years and years thank God there aren't as many cults anymore but in the days and the 70s and the 80s with the cults it was practically impossible you have to you have to destroy them before before they can hear a word you're saying a father calls me begs me to talk to his daughter who got caught up in a cult in Mississippi or something airman but they lived in Minnesota and she was home so I said to him look it doesn't help you can't there's no we'll just get into an argument it'll become nasty and and nothing will come of he said please please and they were survivors so I said okay fine let her come she comes I said what what are you doing with your wife so she gives me the whole spiel so I said I'm just I hope it's not too personal I just don't curious do you keep kosher she says you didn't understand what I said you used to have to keep kosher you don't anymore because you can get to heaven without it I said I understand I'm just wondering do you keep going so she explains it again furs there were laws if you kept the laws you can get into heaven but now since people can't keep all the laws so now he'll get you into heaven without I said okay I understand I'm just curious do you in fact keep kosher she explains that a third time so finally she got they never they never get upset together this is not this smile they're brainwashed she got a little upset so why do you keep asking me that as I said because it sounds like you really love God and you know that it says in the Torah that God doesn't like non kosher food so I'm just wondering I'm just curious I know you'll get to heaven even if you don't keep kosher I'm just wondering whether you're keeping kosher just for him she got so disturbed she ran out of the room she ran to the telephone and she called her basic and she said why why don't we keep kosher just for him and if she told her something phrase says whatever and she came back with a smile back you know the brainwash - that's it so I thought okay a waste of time which I know is via waste of time she leaves later that night I called the mother I said no so what was the result she came back with something her mother says she kept mumbling something about kosher what did you tell her about kosher so even after her place I told her that she doesn't have to keep kosher it got into her under her under her skin thank you why don't you keep kosher so it's a strange muscle to come from but this is the point today whether you get to heaven or not that's not the question if you know that the a brush that wants a certain Mitzvah and you have five minutes and you can do that Mitzvah why would you not do it what are you waiting for that you should become a better person I think you imagine somebody knocks on your door and says please I'm hungry do you have something to give me and you say I would love to give you but I'm not that generous yet I'm working on it you come back in a couple of weeks I'll be more ready for you this is ridiculous now so if you have an opportunity to do a mitzvah what reason is there to hesitate I'm not that from we all know that because you're not that firm so now in the going back to the topic in the question of Froome versus Yiddish kite the balance in the world today is that the yiddish kite has to come first and if the Froome is getting in the way it's not good it's not good that ever told this college student who was going back after tisha Lee he was going back to campus so that ever said then when you get back to the campus remind your friends to put on tefillin so he said the dead but I don't put Huntsville and that ever said it's not their fault why should they suffer I didn't ask you if you put onto him you have friends they need to put onto so remind them the fact that you're not a perfect Juliet okay you know we have this thing called the internet and if you heard about it it's the best and it's the worst but because of it there are people who are doing mitzvahs that we will never know about they're not filmed but they heard something on the internet that but you're supposed to and they're doing it it's an amazing thing the Internet has no limits anyone anywhere anytime any subject any same is true with either Skype a Jew Anytime Anywhere no matter what he finds out that there's a mitzvah there's no reason to hesitate it is LaToya to go via when and the end little story I was invited to speak in Argentina years ago means flying from Minneapolis to New York New York Miami Miami to Chile or something and from Chile - it was it was not a comfortable flight so by the time I landed there was 12 hours by the time I landed I was miserable but I can't sleep on a plane it was so what happens the Sri alphabet picks me up at the airport takes me to a hotel I recover and then we spend a week working so I'm looking forward to the hotel room he picks me up we're in the car we're driving and he says there's a woman who suffered a terrible tragedy she's very depressed severely depressed she hasn't left her apartment in six months doesn't want to talk to anybody she finally agreed to speak to you and we made an appointment so we'll stop on the way to the hotel room we'll stop at her apartment and you'll talk to her I was not happy in fact I was quite upset she's already depress six months it has to be on the way to the hotel room all of a sudden it's an emergency and besides what do you say to somebody who's severely depressed but she's expecting us so we have to go but I was really upset that they didn't ask me they went ahead they made the appointment coming to the apartment and this woman she was not among the living there was absolutely no life in her and she tells me the story nineteen year old son died in a car accident and it was edited Rosh Hashana he was driving back from their country house to get back into town for Rosh Hashanah and he didn't survive the accident and she tells me what a great boy he was how special he was she finishes what can I say so I said wow you had such a kid for 19 years that's something she was not impressed so I said you know if you take away the shock the shock of course is horrible but if you take away the shock imagine the a broish that came to you and said there's a boy who has to be born he's gonna live for 19 years he's a very special soul and I'm looking for someone to be his mother no surprises 19 years and God comes to you and says would you please be this boy's mother for 19 years what would you have said so I was sure that she would say yes she says absolutely not so without thinking I said oh so it's a good thing he didn't ask you she started to cry I mean the way you're supposed to after a tragedy and 20 minutes later she was back among the living she came back to life her eyes became her voice her skin she perfect is amazing I saw a person go from not alive to alive it was the most amazing the most emotional the most incredible experience so now we're back in the car going to the hotel room and I'm thinking I was so angry why didn't they ask me you get it and then I realized if if he had asked me what would my answer have been absolutely not would have been the wrong answer so it's so clear it's so obvious the Schlick is the purpose that we exist for the reason our soul came down to earth for the 80 90 100 years that we live it's because we want because we were asked we were not asked and what happens during those years God asks you you want to have a little miss it as never imagine if he asked we would say absolutely not you want to have a challenge in life no thank you you want to go through some difficulties we would say no to every good thing because what do we know and it's not for us so it's such a good thing that he doesn't ask us he gives us a life he gives us a mission he puts us way he needs us to be and he has more confidence in us than we have in ourselves so for this coming year we should realize that even when we're not ready we're still out in the field when I dressed fiance if we don't feel young tough dick we're not ready to do chuhwa we're not inspired yet but we want to be a good Jew everybody wants to be good and this is so precious to the a brush to the fact that we want and don't know how so I call her night over a Mahela and it's Oracle is so it's so precious that the King comes and says I want you I need you you're welcome so for us to hesitate and say yeah but I'm not dressed right I haven't learned enough I'm not so religious like my grandfather that's for past generations in past generations it was sort of a Dada and then I say TAFE but if you don't stop sinning then who inviting you to put on tefillin who invites you to come through today those conditions are reversed if I say tithe if you do what God needs then the survey that will happen automatically if you do what's godly and holy then your little human faults your your little petty it'll disappear so it turns out that in the olden days to do a mitzvah without thought of a reward was like the biggest sadiq in the world today it's the only way we know how it's the only way what kind of Tsar are we looking for what kind of sky are we hoping for so there's a hussam Cronkite's he's can either had a hundred years old and he is amazing so not long ago he said to his family I had to hold him I had a dream they came to me from heaven and they said we need you we need a teacher so I said you need a teacher there's a shortage of teachers in GaN Eden and they said who's talking about GaN Eden we need a teacher in Jahannam so they came for me that I should be a teacher in Gavin he's laughing at his at himself a hundred years old is he going to Gandhi then is it going to get him that's not even an issue the issue is what did you accomplish not for yourself for the purpose that you were born the Shama she's claiming I need I need Denham ganado what's the difference that's not what the world hangs on and as long as we're telling jokes his leg was hurting how about a year ago she went to a doctor the doctor examines him and says listen what can I tell you you getting gold he says doctor the other leg is exactly the same age and it doesn't hurt so don't give me this miser with age so then he tells a story that they were to Sidon that he remembers his memory is quite good and he was upset that he didn't remember their names but anyway he remembered his to suit them they were best friends older and one of them was dying and he said to his friend is there a minion because you know it's special to have a minion by its ears he said is there a minion says friends said to him I can't believe it you lived your whole life arrogant you have to die arrogant also start Gizem that hate or Majesty to die in good health and don't make a big deal about yourself it's so important that we get past our ourselves 5000 years 3,000 years of tallian mitzvahs and it's still about me how can that be how could that be it makes no sense the whole thing all the history everything we've gone through the incredible ridiculous suffering and history and it's also that I should become better so one final story this father calls me from Edyta snow he says I have a terrible problem my daughter is 12 years old so two hind get it that that the a bridge that is angry we took her to the bun then we took her to psychiatrists we took her to Baku bowling nothing helps she's upset she's depressed God is angry at her and then he did something I don't like because he didn't ask he says here talk to her he puts her on the phone I don't know him I don't know her so Hokkaido so I said you think God has angry at you she says yeah I said how did you become so important she says what I said you're 12 years old you're 12 years old and you can do something to make the Ebers that angry how did you become so important I'm so jealous problem solved now she goes and tells her friends everest is angry at me not at you you're not important even if they burst it is angry at us you don't hear the compliment how can it be how did we become so important that after 3,000 years of missing us nefesh 3,000 years of incredible jewish history and what's the whole point the whole point is that I should become a better person it just doesn't it's not miss koala dass what's happening is we're in the generation of Equus of the mushy mushy F is about to come the world is about to become normal I never say that with a straight face like you haven't read the papers world is becoming normal no no the crazier it gets of course the more you realize it you gotta become horrible it can't it can't be like this so just before mushiya comes the MS may edits tits ma the MS becomes obvious you don't have to go to yeshiva you don't have to be a goggle you don't have to be a genius if the MS is revealed then what can you say what do you say when you hear MS what do you say when you hear Hoffman you say that makes sense when you hear MS what do you say I mean what this mean but what can you say - MS MS SMS so what kind of what kind of great character do you have to have to recognize that Eminem is the reason we don't recognize it is because it's not revealed it's hest opponent the MS is not revealed so we walk around thinking we know and we have everything is upside down like this dark and dark is light right as we wrote it as wrong and wrong is right but once it becomes revealed what kind of talent do you need to see that Emma sighs Emma that's mushiya we're at a time now where the MS is going to become so obvious that it will be equally clear to the greatest of the great and the lowest of the low by Emma who you here Hashem aful wish my Ahad and how will that happen because the role called bossa Yaakov there'll be no difference between the greatest of the great and the smallest of the small the role called boss'll Yadav how will they see not because they became smart but because Emma said you don't need any talent for that so we who know a little bit DMS how could it be about me when I know what's M s how could it be for my benefit for my purpose for my how can my failings my shortcomings my stick how can that get in the way of doing a mitzvah the baal shem tov insisted that all Jews are equal how is that how will all Jews equal this one is a godless epic daily and this was the cognitive economy how are all Jews equal it doesn't mean that all Jews are equally talented equally smart equally able now of course not when it comes to fulfilling what the a bridge that needs were all equal and now is a time for fulfilling what a bridge that needs so now is the time to see all Jews as being equal I mean what does it take to make a cup of coffee whatever the eBrush that needs it's not complicated it's not difficult no requirements necessary this is the Mitzvah you do it without thought of a reward because today there really is no reward you're going to get covered if you do a mitzvah you'll get covered you'll get criticism if you do a mitzvah you're gonna get rich we know there's only one reason for a mitzvah it's rotten Hashem and we are here to serve Him I think that's an important message for for any time particularly for the month of Elul we should make a brochure thanking the a Brewster for not asking us for not waiting for us to become talented than holy he gave us the mitzvahs when we knew nothing when we had no talents in a desert which means all people equal now it's time to complete the job so whoever you know at any time wherever you are there's a mitzvah waiting don't hesitate I was talking to a guy and he says I don't know I'm not I have no Yiddish of my you know I I walk into a shul I don't belong there I don't belong there so he's thinking of not coming to show anyone I said that would be a very big mistake most people in sure don't belong here if you're gonna start with these guys brainless even who does belong there they're not gonna have a minion without you those those who belong there and besides you just realized that now that you don't belong there I knew this about you a year ago what what does it mean you don't belong there if the a broish that asks you to come and talk to him what does it mean you don't belong who decides who belongs so it's really freedom it's freedom from concern about myself and am i am i big am i small am i right am i wrong you're wrong what's the question you're wrong but it's not about you it's about the Mitzvah so if you do them it's it is perfect you're not so it does not make the Mitzvah less perfect so we should all have a similar facility over we should have a year in which the a brush that gets what he needs that should be our resolution our our slaughter for this year the a brush should get what he needs what I need no we'll manage without shame you can share Tara my sis balsamic vinegar after our feelings and inspiring Russia one thing that
