ISRAEL AT WAR: THE VALUE OF JEWISH LIFE

[Music] we are back here live from Jerusalem and doing another sh for you guys to give you guys some perspective to calm the nerves to make sure we have some more in each and every one of us because we're learning tonight's Sho is going to be for the for all of those that uh have been injured traumatized whether physically mentally in any other way by these monsters that call themselves Kamas and the uh rest of these terrorists that are out there give each one of them uh of course the also goes out [Music] toana ysep benana and all of and all the righteous no that continue to contribute and help us in all the wonderful things that we're doing uh so a couple of quick updates that are very important important number one we uh got the calls over the last 24 hours uh from the uh the people that uh you know that are in charge of things as far as security here in Israel and the major event that we've had planned the 3000 cim has been rescheduled for this coming Monday this coming Monday we're going to have a huge event for the honor of Tora a lot of uh work is uh pretty much being done right now around the clock to make that happen uh any of you that uh are uh want to come uh please uh make sure if you don't if you don't have a confirmation that you have a ticket yet then make sure that you contact me right away to make sure that we get you a ticket uh it's uh it's free to attend of course there's going to be uh a lot of uh nice things there there going to be music food of course a lot of T over there it's going to be beautiful event and uh something that's not to be missed for anybody that uh wants to go and for anyone that's uh that's scared because of what's happening in the world always remember that there is uh one God and one God only and he's the one that uh takes care of everyone and anyone that uh is supposed to uh uh live will live anyone that is not supposed to live is not going to live uh that's simply a reality that we that we uh live with and we understand and we follow on a day-to-day basis and uh this is actually one of the things we're want to talk about tonight theem as far as the value of Jewish life uh the second thing is uh for anyone that wants to continue helping us with the uh campaign to help the uh soldiers as well as the uh poor uh Jews that are struggling right now in Israel you can go to bh.org b as in beat H as in Hashem ch e.org and you could donate over there and uh certainly for anyone that wants to do a tunit uh to uh sanctify themselves this would be the time to do it uh you can donate on tab. live uh this is something that uh we're going to realize more and more how much we need at these uh these days so with that being said we've spoken about a lot of different things and of course we've uh gone to a lot of different uh uh places and uh doing everything possible to bring more and more Torah to the world at the same token the Satan does not stop fighting uh whether it's the different technical issues or you know different uh uh employees or uh monetary or uh you know security or literally endless amount of uh issues are uh are happening and have been happening but we continue struggling in along and and succeeding to deliver more and more to than ever in these last couple of weeks at a time that needs it more than ever uh but this is not uh without difficulty difficulty is uh is part of the equation anyone that's expecting a easy time uh in this world needless to say an easy time uh to do the will of hem is simply living an illusion uh to the more you do the will of hem the more you're going to have to to get used to being uncomfortable and this is one of the most amazing things that uh we learned from as far as the struggles that Abu went through but uh you know we've spoken about some of the struggles yesterday we're going to speak about some more of them uh perhaps uh tomorrow uh but one of the things that uh we see in in this par is thatu really put things in perspective when it comes to the value of a Jewish life the value of a Jewish life is obviously being discussed constantly right now uh so many uh uh Jewish people have been murdered and massacred uh in uh in by these animals and uh the videos uh keep coming in of uh either Miracle stories or tragic stories or a combination thereof and it's really important for a person to understand that the value of Jewish life is very very different than uh the way way people value their life if they're outside of Judaism even if they are Jewish but outside of Judaism whether it be uh in uh you know in secular life or needless to say in the uh Islamic life that you see right now in front of everyone uh how worthless they consider life to be uh not just the value of other people's lives but even the value of their own while they're willing to kill themselves on a regular basis now one of the things that was published uh is uh a um phone call by one of these uh Kamas terrorists while he was uh killing Jews during the massacre and he called his his father and his mother and this call is uh is was published you could easily find it uh and uh he's reporting to them how happy he is and how proud he is and how proud his parents should be of him that he just killed a bunch of Jews 10 Jews that he says that he killed and he talks about the details of how he did it and who he killed and uh now while many people would like to say that uh the uh you know Kamas is a unique uh you know part of the Palestinian people it's not really a representation of the Palestinian people the civilians that are not carrying guns and uh and grenades are not involved well they're going to be very very very surprised when they hear this recording because the response that these monster parents uh have is uh no less disturbing than the uh than the murderer son where the uh father starts celebrating with them and saying thank God great job amazing and then the mother says that she wishes she was there with him and then when they tell this monster uh to come home now that now that he's finished the job he says no I'm going to die continuing to kill in so many words the highest aspiration that uh the that he was taught in his life and he's not unique he is a standard uh the uh the highest uh um caliber that he can get to is by killing Jews and dying because according to their corrupted heretical demented belief system based on the Quran that if you if you kill Jews and and you die you're going to go to heaven and get 72 virgins now aside from the fact that this is demented and Despicable it also shows you the little value that they have for life where number one their highest aspiration in this life is to fulfill more f filthy desires it's not enough for them to have a wife they want to have 72 of them which is really you know begs the question of what happens to the women you know these poor wives that get uh uh uh you know that go and live the life of of a terrorist's wife and uh most likely a terrorist herself does she also get 72 virgins or does she become one of the virgins like what what what is her aspiration like is she okay with the fact that her husband wakes up and goes to sleep and thinks about constantly being with 72 other women and that's that's this is this is how you this this is normal for people perhaps they never thought about it perhaps they uh simply live like a uh the shim that they are uh so focused on killing that they don't actually think twice about really what the value of life is but it's important for us to think it's important for us to think and really ask the question and answer the question of what makes a Jewish life so valuable you know because you can't say oh a all Jews are extremely valuable you know that's why you work so hard to save all of the uh hostages right but what makes it so valuable is it more valuable than a non-jewish life is it the same value it does it does it does it matter what the Jew does these are things that a person needs to ask and certainly needs an answer for uh this is not in order to uh say this one is better than that one for the sake of arrogance and uh uh um and thinking that uh you are uh you know you are God's gift to mankind but rather to understand really what makes a Jew valuable like what makes you valuable right now you're watching this lecture it's uh whatever time it is wherever you are in the world and you certainly think think you're valuable if you're a normal person you're mentally healthy you think you're valuable what makes you valuable if you're going to say well I'm very good at my job well your job doesn't really matter in uh in in in the world of God uh you know the in the upper Heavens there is uh no uh no part of Heaven that you're going to get just because you were good at your job well I uh I'm I'm a good husband fine but does that mean that you're not going to have any value until your wife shows up in heaven also they say listen you're very valuable but only when you're a good husband so when your wife shows up then you're going to become valuable so until then we'll put you on the side in the corner over there you can look at the wall for the next 25 years because that's when she's expected to come here or vice versa are you only valuable you know with your husband is that uh is that is that a uh so in so many words is uh is is is the belief system like the Muslims where pretty much you're worthless uh obviously not so a person needs to understand that the question begs an answer and the answer must be something that each and every single person is able to understand why because the T is for everyone the T is for everyone and the beauty of the T is the T is something that you can do better than anything else as says it's in your mouth it's in your heart to do it meaning you were created to fulfill it so just like a phone is best at making phone calls and a uh uh a computer is best at doing computer things uh and a uh you know a cup of coffee is best to drink you know the point is just like all of these things were created for a certain purpose you were created to follow the Torah that's what you're better at even if you don't realize it even if you haven't put on to filling a single time even if you haven't worn modest clothes a single time in your life in reality once you take it on you'll see you're better at this than anything else in the world now abrah ainu is the forefather of the Jewish people that was so valuable that allowed the world to exist and not be destroyed just because of him and that's what the M says that saw the world being corrupted at the time of Noah and therefore destroyed it the world continued being corrupted even after Noah's flood where 340 years later the uh the people gathered together to build the Tower of Babylon go to war against God at a time where literally you can see and meet and greet and shake the hands of those few people that survived the flood Noah and his sons they were still alive at the time of the Tower of Babel but yet chose not to destroy the world because there was somebody else alive at that time and that was abah ainu AB ainu literally saved the world he was that valuable and we learn later on in that says that he is his beloved because he is the one that is teaching that is following the Torah and teaching it to his children now before he had children he saved the world before he had children he was still extremely valuable but it wasn't just AB being very valuable lot was very valuable how do we know lot was very valuable because abah was willing to risk his life to save lot as it says in chapter 14 of this week's in the Book of Genesis the uh lot was taken captive after the war of the Four Kings versus the uh five Kings where uh the uh in the Four Kings you have uhel which is actually also another name for Nim and you have which is actually the son of Shem the son of Shem Shem that was the righteous Shem the son of Noah but his son was an idol worshipper he worshiped the stars and the angels and uh he was an idol worshipper but he became a very powerful King and he joined forces with nimod and a couple of other kings and they in essence took over the world and they defeated uh uh the uh their enemy which was Sodom gomorah and a few other uh uh Kings and Empires but in the process they decided to take a hostage which was abu's nephew lot as he was uh one of the judges in s in Sodom and they took him as a hostage because they knew that the world was not able to tell the difference between lot and ab because they looked alike and they figured that once the world found out that they have aam uh as a hostage everyone would bow to them because the whole world knew that abah is the man of God he's the one that was thrown into the fire and survived and thrived and had many many followers so they figured that the only way to get uh everyone to follow them is by getting everyone to think that they have abam as a hostage and when abam finds this out he actually goes with elzar and he goes to war now the uh Tor also says that AB had a couple of allies uh that uh uh helped them as well some say that these allies uh didn't actually go to the battle itself some say that they went only up to a certain point where they were uh helping with certain things uh uh but uh the real battle was taken was really done by a and elzar and some say that they they were they were and they were actually part of the 318 uh uh soldiers that had so there's multiple opinions here there's no real meaning there's no difference of which one one follows whether you follow that it was only a and uh and elzar fighting against all of these Kings or abam and 300 elzar and 300 uh and uh uh 17 other uh soldiers uh which included these few others the point being is is that we see here that aam is going to war he's putting his life on the line for what to save lot to save lot now L ultimately gets saved and goes back to Sodom and is saved again after that by God before Sadam is destroyed but the point being is is that a stops everything that he's doing and puts his life on a line for the sake of saving lot say that Abraham wasn't necessarily so concerned about lot being saved as much as he was concerned about the desecration of God if people actually thought that he was the hostage but regardless of that we see that there was still certain value here there's still something significant and a decision was made and ab was willing to put his life on a line to fight for something valuable for human life for the honor of God why why is a willing to do all of this why is aam willing to do all of this why what makes it so valuable now if you look at the world of Ishmael Ishmael today doesn't value life and they haven't value life throughout all of their history they Massacre anybody that disagrees with them without thinking twice to the point of fanaticism where they're willing and able and excited to kill themselves and even educate their children to kill themselves eventually just so long as they kill the enemy mainly being the Jews some people as a joke that also has some m in it uh say listen since they don't really value life so much maybe you could address the issue that uh the propaganda out there is saying where you know they're saying listen it's a uh uh not nice that Israel shut down the uh the water and the electric and and Gaza over there why don't you return it to them uh and you know so perhaps you could answer that how can you answer it you could return it to them but just this time around you don't need to shut off the water you don't need to shut off the electric just combine the two and send it to them that way because they don't value life anyway so you know that that certainly could be a solution with all joking aside the if you look at the behavior of these Monsters uh and how much they want death and then you compare it to the Jewish people and how much they want life where they're willing to do everything and anything possible to minim miniz the death of their brothers to even minimize the death of other people that are not necessarily their brothers but they're just innocent we don't have any permission to just simply kill uh innocent people for no reason but as I've said multiple times over the last couple of weeks when you are in in a war there's going to be casualties that are collateral damage and you cannot take those into consideration even if the collateral damage is Hostages that are actually your brothers why because again you have to always evaluate things based on the the larger damage versus the smaller damage where if you know that uh uh attacking them and destroying I don't know 100 200 400 of these uh terrorists but in the same token you're going to also uh kill one of the hostages that's your brother uh because this is going to save perhaps thousands of lives that these murderers want to want to kill then this is something that the Torah not only allows but tells you that uh is is necessary to be done uh it's again you're not targeting uh your brother you're not targeting children that are innocent you're not targeting anybody you're you're targeting the enemy but everything comes at a price everything comes at a price and everything has to be evaluated now we know that uh right now there are many fools out there that are turning things into to something that it's not meaning anytime there's a Jewish tragedy where some Massacre pgrm or shooting or anything else people immediately turn all of the victims into into extremely righteous people even when they weren't uh you know so again the uh this is something we've discussed in the past uh and uh brought proofs that just because somebody died in a uh in a terror attack doesn't necessarily mean that they've become RAB AKA there is a Kem that uh takes place but as our own dear uh Ros R sharit recently explained in a that the Kem that takes place when uh Jews that don't follow the Torah uh die even you know because they're Jewish it's not because they suddenly have become righteous you know if they were in a party uh and uh dancing around some Idol with lots of promiscuity drugs and all types of Filth that happens at these party and now they got massacred by these monsters okay now the fact that they died obviously is a horrible tragedy we would certainly prefer for them to live and I'm sure their families would prefer for them to their for them to live and if you know of course they could do chuva and live a holy Jewish life but the fact that they've died and uh and because because they're Jewish because they were at the at at this place uh that that was attacked doesn't turn them all into righteous people doesn't turn them into righteous people even though there's they're called according to Al they're called Accord the ram says they're called meanings they were they were killed because they were Jewish which is a certainly a high level of uh uh death that a person could have it wipes out uh many of their related sins not simply everything if they were an idol worshipper it's not going to wipe out that uh that sin uh if they were a uh a uh you know a criminal against God an atheist this death is not necessarily going to uh give them a first class ticket into into heaven and make it as if they've never sinned before and it certainly does not turn them into but it does sanctify God's name and the reason why it sanctifies God's name is because we know that God says that a uh uh the the righteous are rewarded the wicked are punished you desecrate Shabbat it's a death penalty you uh uh honor Shabbat you get protected and the point is is that when these things happen God's name is Sanctified because you see God's law being executed that is what the Kem actually is now many fools make it seem as if oh they died they're Jewish therefore they're you can never say anything bad no that's simply not true it's simply not true the fact that there was sins is true the fact that people were desecrating Shabbat was true there's an idol drugs promiscuity true uh you know many of the people that uh uh were uh were uh were killed were not exactly very religious many of them were anti anti tah is true now this does not mean that we agree shalom shalom with with the with the murderers in any way shape or form but we have to put things in the right perspective and and and look at things based on reality so we know that their lives were also very very valuable even though they weren't following the Torah even though many of them were in the process of making sins still their lives were extremely valuable and in our event next week we are going to pay a tribute to them and they uh and and pray for them and have uh the some of the uh merits of this event go towards them so the question is what makes it so valuable if you would say the person is the most righteous person on the planet big Rabbi sadik servant of hem in the highest possible level okay he's valuable okay that doesn't require an explanation Abu valuable that doesn't require an explanation he serves God all day it doesn't require an explanation but what makes every Jewish person's life very valuable in fact every person's life can be become very valuable if they understand what makes you valuable now in the world ofas in Islam as you already heard life is not very valuable because even if they do everything that they're sages so-called sages say in their best case scenario of delusions they're going to get to fill many filthy lustrous desires what their wives and kids get not really sure exactly but it seems like only the men could actually benefit not really sure why there's a single woman in the world that actually practices Islam your husband is aspiring to be with 72 other women obviously you're not a virgin you're his wife so it's certainly he's not aspiring to be with you so why are you uh following Islam not really sure perhaps you should ask yourself the same question if you know but don't do it out loud because most likely they'll kill you but uh with that being said we have to answer the question of what makes us valuable theed of Lich was alive at a time where the rule of the Russians and the SAR at the time was so powerful that people were afraid to pray people were afraid to learn T people were afraid to do everything because it was forbidden but the did not stop learning toah does not stop teaching toah in fact was at full force and one time he was caught and they put a gun to his head and he was very powerful man he can't be treated like everybody else but at the same token he's violating the law and they put a gun to his head or his chest threatening him to stop smiled as the gun is being pointed to him saying to these murderers the only people that you can scare with that gun are people that have one world and two Gods we the Jewish people have one God and Two Worlds the murderer that wants to shoot him was so enamored by this response that he simply walked away like a scared little dog that he was and went back to his life now people saw this people heard this and until this day this has not become common knowledge in every single Jewish mind in the world the difference between us and everyone else out there that's not following the Torah is that they live for this world to buy another house in this World another car in this world more lust in this world more and more and more and more and more in this world everything that they're building is just for this world because they believe that this is the ultimate world and they also believe in multiple gods whether it be Christianity's Trinity or all forms of other idolatry out there the Jewish people on the other hand the follow the that cleave to hem that follow the teachings of abru know that there's only one God and he is the only God that will ever decide whether I live or die no one can hurt me or help me if it's not the will of hem a person could literally walk in the middle of Gaza right now and can decide no one can touch him without him having any weapons without him having even the idea of needing to defend himself if a wants a Jew could walk in the middle of all debris over there which the whole place will turn into debris and then eventually into a nice field of grass where our children can play and not have to worry about all the terror that goes on there if a wants you could walk there without being worried at all but a person that doesn't believe that knows that if he walks there even if he walks there with 50 people he's most likely not coming out now when a person understands when we understand that there's only one God and there's nothing else but him which means you will never ever succeed if he doesn't want you to succeed if he doesn't allow you to succeed you will never fail unless he Wills for you to fail you will never have a child unless he Wills for you to have a child when a person understands that there's only one God everything changes because then you see what does this God tell us this very same God this God of Israel tells us don't spend all of your energy building an empire in this world because there are two worlds there is this life and there's the afterlife and real life is the one that's after this life the only reason that you're here is to acquire the merits to build yourself an eternal life of good so theed says I'm not worried about whether you kill me or not because if you kill me that means it was the will of hem and that means that hasem wanted to bring me to the Eternal world and I know I have a good Eternal world you know how cuz I've been serving hhm my whole life I've been teaching T I've been learning Tor I've been doing so I'm not worried about leaving this world I have an eternal world and if you don't kill me then I even just as happy because it confirms that only God can decide whether I live or die and not your gun this is the mindset of a Jew and we have several examples of how this gets implemented when push comes to sh at the moment of truth because to say it in the lecture to say it to yourself in your house when you're telling your kids stories it's easy but what are you going to do at the moment of truth Nam is has been attacked and Under Fire for 3,334 years since the time we got the Torah mount saai with the Torah came the hatred of the world anti-Semitism was created around the same time because uses anti-Semitism in order to bring his children back to where they're supposed to be it's the stick that hasem uses when the staff of the Torah the instructions of the Torah are not being followed so when push comes to shove how do the Jews that have stuck to the tah have learned the toah have applied the toah into their life how did they react during the times of the Holocaust aside from all of the tragedies that took place some of the greatest examples of righteousness of Jew were shown in front of the eyes of the world one of the stories that has inspired me in a very very big way in my life is a story of this story was reported by an eyewitness another named and in his he writes exactly what he saw because he was part of the story and only by Miracle survived he says that was in one of these ghettos learning Torah and teaching to to his fellow Jews despite the situation despite the fact that at any moment these Nazis can walk in and simply kill everybody and every so often they would walk in they take a bunch of people and just kill them and a day came while they were learning Tora they were learning some very difficult and deep laws of the Tor the Nazis came in and the demanded that all of the men in the house line up and come with them everyone knew that this was it everyone knew that this was the end and while everyone else that's out there thinks of death they already become scared things of somebody they love dying they become even scareder but did not get scared in fact says I saw an angel come to life where at that moment turns around to everybody as they're walking as they're going to the place they're all going to be killed and he tells them it's time for me to teach you the mitvah of dying K all of the laws because apparently in heaven they think that we are allik and that we need to be the Coan the sacrifice for the sake of the lives of our brothers that live in America and Europe our death will be an atonement for them to give them more time to do Chua to give them more time to get is to do Chua but as we know sacrifice has rules and if there is a wrong thought during a sacrifice where the person that's bringing a sacrifice really does not intend to follow the laws of the sacrifice such as eating it in time or doing any other thing that is supposed to be done or the person that Slaughters it doesn't have the right mindset then that sacrifice becomes what's called a pig a doesn't accept it so if we are going to be the sacrifice we must be the best possible sacrifice that ever happened we have to be the perfect sacrifice which starts with nobody could be scared or sad at this moment in fact we should all be extraordinarily happy that heaven chose us to serve as this role and as they are Marching towards their death with the Nazis ahead surrounding them with guns and evil monster faces is teaching them the laws of dying on K what to think right before you're about to die what to say during this time right before you die all of these things now to learn these laws even when you're in a bet mid or in your house with some coffee sitting on a nice comfortable chair already it's difficult he's teaching them this as if they are in a Yesa and says I saw this because I was one of the people on the line and treated and looked at everyone exactly the same even though his own son was on that line as well and will eventually be murdered just like AAS and the rest of the people were says by pure miracle I somehow escaped so here we see that is living the words of what the and the rest of the Jewish sages have said throughout all of the centuries if you have one God and Two Worlds there's never a reason for you to be scared of anybody other than that one God this world is temporary anyway if Hashem wants you to be in this world for another 120 years that will be if Hashem does not want you to be in this world for another 120 seconds it doesn't matter how good your health is and how big your bank account is if Hashem doesn't want it that will be so if I know that hm decided that he's going to make me a sacrifice and allow me to die on km because I serve the toah I'm only being killed because of the Torah I'm only being killed because I'm Jewish I'm being killed as a servant of Torah this is an extraordinary opportunity is giving me Shalom pray to Hashem throughout his life to have a similar death knew that the one and only God has decided their fate and life is not going to end as a result of this rather eternal life begins meaning that life in this world is valuable it's very valuable but your real life your eternity is much more valuable and what happens in that eternity depends on what you did during his temporary life in his shoot that his qu is a responser has some extraordinary questions that people asked him while he was in in the Holocaust and one of the most extraordinary and extreme examples of what a Jewish life is worth being put into perspective according to the Torah during the Holocaust is a question that was asked by one of the people who came to and said to him I have a son and they just the nazisim just chose to put them in line and we know what happens once you go but since I have some valuables and the ability to bribe this Nazi I know I can get my kid out of there the only problem is that since they have a quota for the amount of people that they have to kill these monsters I know that what's going to happen is that he's going to allow my kid to go but he's going to replace him with another son with somebody else's son am I allowed to do that am I allowed to have my son saved knowing for sure that that he's going to replaced with somebody else's Soni writes I told the man please not to ask me this question and this Jude that had said I'm not going to ask you the question but your response gave me the answer and he knew from that response that the only right thing to do is to allow his son to die and not try to save him because his blood is not rder than somebody else's son's blood now here we see how a Jew that has and a connection to a looks at life yes I want him to live he's my son but the reality is the true value of life is eternal life not this temporary life and if I get him more time in this temporary life we could both end up losing all all of our Eternal lives and therefore it's not worth it my grandfather Sab GI during the Holocaust he was in Tripoli and they made alah but before all of this happened the bombings into the Jewish communities were standard every single day there was bombings into the community people would die and my dear grandfather Shalom may this be for his would go into the destroyed buildings and infrastructures and collect the bodies in order to give them a proper Jewish burial every day my grandmother Al Shalom would see my grandfather come home full of blood his hands were full of blood his clothes were full of blood he would do he did something that nobody else could or would and every day there was more bodies and every day there was more burials and he would go and he would give them a proper burial and he told his kids one of them being my mother that when he would go and he would bury these people people these poor people many times it would be late at night 1:00 2:00 in the morning and he would see things and he also would see the faces of the people that died in his hands all the time throughout his whole life and my mother would ask him along with our sisters and brothers ABA aren't you scared and he would say to her in Arabic binci my daughter there's no need to be scared of the Dead only the living could cause damage to you only the living the only one to be scared of is why did he care so much to put his life in danger obviously if they bombed it they could Bomb It Again obviously if they're killing us they don't want us to have proper burials or anything obviously nobody else wanted this job but he did it because my grandfather knew that life only begins after this life as this life is just a corridor one of the zaka respondents publicized a story of what happened in the last couple of weeks where there was a young boy growing up in a community of secular people mostly some traditional but this boy witnessed the murder of his father horrific disaster and this young kid who just became an orphan after escaping from the scene being in a hospital they asked him is there anything that we can do for you he said I just want one thing I just want my father's feeling it's still in the house all those terrorists burned and destroyed and murdered can you please get me those feeling and these wonderful volunteers went on a special mission to go into the terror scene the crime scene with still terrorists in the area still shooting in the vicinity to go into this house only have just a few minutes to go in and out because it's still not safe to be there in hopes that they can find aine and they succeeded in finding the The Filling of the father that just died in order to give it to the son why did that son want feeling he didn't look like a yes he didn't look like he was the son of the basali do you know why because at the moment of truth with the decree came from heaven for him to become an orphan for his father to leave the world also gave that young boy the realization that the only thing that connects him to his father that just passed as well as his forefathers from thousands of years ago is the holy Torah and he needs something tangible to represent that Torah and what's better than to fill in what's better than to [Music] filling that young boy got a lesson that every single one of us perhaps didn't even realize we put on theill every day sometimes people are in such a hurry to go to work are so busy in their mind about the things they need to do and want to do they forget they're even putting on to filling did I do the blessing did I not do the blessing I need to finish this prayer already because I got to do this and I got to do that not really thinking about that this the filling that I'm putting around my arm is what's connecting me to abah it's what's connecting me to it's what's connecting me to it's what's connected to me to and millions of people watching the in hearing and seeing God's voice this to filling connects me to that and even more than all of that this filling is one of the promises one of the promises that Hashem gave us about us having two worlds and one God inside theill it tells us that we have one God but also tells us about the reward when we serve God the punishment when we don't but when it tells us about the reward and Punishment tell the conditions if you serve hasem with all of your heart and all of your soul and all of your money then you'll have blessings wait but if I served you with all my soul that means that while I'm saying I'm supposed to be thinking that some evil monster like Kamas like the Nazis like the Romans is burning me because I'm Jewish while I'm saying I'm supposed to be imagining that I'm dying on K I'm dying because I'm a Jew why would I want to die on K because there's two worlds because there's two worlds and D in K assures me that my second world my world after this world will be an eternal world of good it's important for a person to know the value of a Jewish life but really what it is not because you like the person or because the person has something that you want or benefit from but rather because what makes your life valuable is if it is a stepping stone to an eternal life of good and every single one of us both Jew and Gentile can have such a life because if you serve AEM as the one and only God in this world and follow the holy Torah then you are already living a life of Kem you're sanctifying hashem's name each and every single time you do a mitvah each Mitzvah in its own level the more you publicize your belief in The One and Only God in the tah the greater your eternal life becomes the greater your current life becomes and when you start doing what Abu did and help other Jews get closer to Hashem and discover the truth and run away from the lies run away from the heresy run away from the stupidity of chasing material and physical lust and desires but instead Chase MIT and value them then your life is not only a life that's valuable your entire life becomes a life of Kem because if you're helping other people do chuva that means you're helping other people get closer to hasem and sanctify his name praise His name get to know his name acknowledge that he's the one and only God and accept upon thems the entire T your entire life becomes one big K and the reason why RAB car was not given what he wanted and prayed for his whole life which is to die in Kem was because his life and its entirety was a Kem and it certainly doesn't get better than living a life of Kem this is the significant difference between the value of a Jewish life versus the value of someone that's disconnected from the holy truth of the Torah and needless to say the worthless life of those that are against the to and the Jewish people each and every single one of us can take this and apply it to our life in such a way that we're going to do everything and anything possible to make this life so B busy with sanctifying hasem that we could be sure that whether the gun shows up tomorrow or after 120 years we live the life of Kem and therefore are certain to have an eternal life of good with that being said I'm going to look see if there's maybe a couple of questions to answer and then we'll call tonight the thank you everyone for all the blessings and the good wishes is very much appreciated is a Jew allowed to attend a non-jews wedding taking place in a justice of peace kosher food will be provided but of course they are non-jews and they'll be mixed dancing obviously it's not allowed to do any of this in fact a Jew says that a Jew and a non-jew are not allowed to eat a festive meal together lest they become uh so friendly that they forget there's a difference between them and marry each other's kids so no a Jew is not allowed to go to a non-jewish wedding and even if there's kosher food and needless to say if there's mixed dancing uh Jew is not allowed to attend such a place my non-jewish friend asked me why in Genesis it says that hm created the world using plural terminology even though of course Hashem is one how do I respond well first you should find Jewish friends second you should realize your friend is asking you that because he's trying to tell you that there is a trinity or there's some type of proof of their stupid Christianity and their idolatry um because that's one of the things they use so you should stop being friends with this person that's number one number two the answer to that is very simple the way of a king is not to be alone the way of a king is to show his majesty is by having many many servants but the same token Hashem wants to while he has all these servants he wants to teach us what's called which is manners mannerisms and with that he uh since he created the Angels before he created mankind he didn't want the angels to feel like they're worthless and therefore he consulted with them not that he needed their approval in any way she perform but many times in the Tor and the mid it talks about hm's conversations with different Angels at different times and they uh hasem this is one of the places where hasem asked uh the Angels whether he should create man or not create man uh the uh first round of angels said he he shouldn't create men because they'll sin he destroy those angels uh and then he you know new set of Angels Came they said you're God you do what you want and he created them point being is that when this whole uh um uh dialogue is presented by a single word by Hashem saying let us create man in our image uh meaning that uh Hashem is and the angels is called us and our image in essence is that knowing the difference between WR wrong having a choice and so on so it's a it's AEM the Us Part the plural part is representing aem's conversation with the angels not for the sake of getting approval from them not because they're rulers rather to show us etiquette and mannerisms that are proper for one to have even if they're not a king because if a king does it needless to say a person should do it before he makes big decisions he should consult with people that are wise with people that are important to him in his life let's say before you buy a house you should uh you know consult with someone that's important to you such as your spouse consult with someone that is your Mentor your Rabbi these are different things that hasem is teaching us uh you know during uh the creation itself why don't you come back to the States who says I'm not coming back to the States and I'm not really sure why people care about where I am uh people some people have asked me this question of if I made Aliah if I'm uh you know coming back how come I didn't tell you I'm not really sure why people care so much about my whereabouts I mean it's not like we had a uh hangout sessions in people's houses uh so I mean I am where I am and uh I'll be where I want to be and when I want to be there uh the uh reason why I'm here is because there's a lot of work to be done here uh right now there's a need that people have much more than there's a need back in the States uh and uh we'll be here until we feel like there's a time that it's better for us to come back but uh as far as um my whereabouts I honestly don't understand those types of questions it's I answer the way I answer because it troubles me that people are so concerned about my whereabouts I mean for more or less whether you lived in Florida or you lived in Tennessee or you lived in Arkansas you live in Israel people see me on the screen so what difference is it to you where the screen is placed if I was in uh in Mars right now would it be a difference to anyone no if anything me being in Israel has benefited everybody because I'm doing more shim um and just I think it's just important for people to um just I don't know I guess control your curiosity control your curiosity you know sometimes it's a uh important for us to control our curiosity and not necessarily um ask questions that I think are inappropriate to be honest with you I'm not offended you don't have to like say I'm sorry or anything I'm just I just think it's inappropriate for people to ask the personal details of other people's lives uh I'm a public figure so I don't care about answering these questions but if you're asking me this question then you're probably asking other people similar questions it's not appropriate to ask these questions um can a person who has a medical condition use a non- kosher medicine due to the medicine treatment is not available in their own country uh well it depends if a uh if there's a life risk then there's no problem uh because the you know life comes before all meaning that if let's say for example someone has a life risk uh where if they don't eat meat within the next you know you know let's say 2 minutes or whatever 10 minutes uh they could go into cardiac arrest or die or something bad would happen to them just giving you a hypothetical example and the only meat that's available is pig pig and this person is a rabbi Orthodox Rabbi is he allowed to eat the pig absolutely it's him to eat the pig why because if he eats the pig he's going to save his life and then he's going to be able to do many MIT so the value of life you know puts the Torah on hold so if a person's life's at risk there's no issue as as far as anything not just medicine but anything they can do anything to save their life aside from obviously K killing somebody else because your blood is not better than somebody else's now as far as medicine in general generally medicine uh it's a uh is either tasteless or uh or bad taste meaning that even a dog wouldn't eat it so the issue of of kosher doesn't apply if let's say for example there is a a pill where they use gelatin uh and generally speaking gelatin most of the time comes from uh the the bones of animals most typically from pig butom that since the gelatin by the time it becomes a part of the pill has no taste at all and has lost any connection to where it came from it is no longer considered food and there's no issue of consuming it whether from a additional purposes or even vitamins or anything else cuz again you're not eating it unless the pill has a sweet taste meaning if it has B no taste or bad taste then there's no problem but if it has a sweet taste like they added certain sugars in there and it tastes good then it actually does need to be kosher again if it's for uh uh vitamins but if it's for medicinal reasons again where there's a life risk then again it doesn't matter what the taste is so it all depends on the uh the type of medicine the type of condition if there is a a kosher version of it easily available uh anyone that wants to get for example kosher vitamins and nutrients and so on uh can go to kosher vitamins.com it's a very good website we've ordered from them countless times over the years uh and uh they have a lot of different products uh not just vitamins but different things that you can use if you're a uh uh called kosher vitamins.com and no they're not paying me for this promotion I'm just very happy with product that I got over the years uh my relatives say that they are allowed to drive on Shabbat since they are reformed Jews how could I reply oh very simple you could tell them thatas also says that they're allowed to kill Jews because they're Kamas and the uh you know and the cannibals say that they're allowed to eat people because they're cannibals uh your decisions do not change the law the law says that you're not allowed to drive on Shabbat just because you decide to forsake the law and reform the law it doesn't change the law so uh they should know that simply by you know the second uh example that I gave or first example that I gave or any example uh that just because you decide to change the law doesn't mean that the actual Law changes because again the law is from God but if they don't believe the Torah is from God would most reformed people then uh even that's not going to work when hasem allows a Satan to walk the streets and kill people a Jew uses in order to be protected which me do to protect well any mitvah that a Jew does uh you know during that he doesn't have to is certainly going to help him at a time where uh there's a danger out there um and the Satan is being permitted to do certain things but the the one common denominator between a Jew and a gentile is that the more they make themselves needed by am is the more they are assuring themselves protection and a long life uh why because when a Kesh decides whether to allow a person to live or to die he doesn't just look at their merits and their sins he also looks at how their life or death is going to affect everyone around them and their merits and their sins if they you know let's say for example one person as failed in something and he deserves the death penalty but the people around him are uh you know let's say his wife his kids uh his uh friend his brothers whoever they are all of them are uh very very righteous people and technically don't deserve for for them to have such a loss that could actually save him in fact if uh the people around them are wicked then that's going to not help him in any way shape or form but if let's say for example he has a uh you know a friend that he hasn't seen in 20 years but that friend really cares about him and uh when he finds out that uh his dear his his friend of 20 years ago died he's going to you know really feel a lot of sorrow and Hashem looks at his account since he's a righteous person and says whoa he doesn't deserve to have the sorrow that friend that he hasn't spoken to in 20 years could actually save this person's life this is why person should have as many righteous people uh connected to him in one way or another to her in one way or another uh this is why we say that saves a person's life because when you give someone you're connecting your life to theirs especially if you give something on a regular basis and you support uh Torah Scholars you're in essence putting the Torah Scholars uh uh merits in your account in so many words why because because since he's a Torah scholar since the person is doing K since the person is you know in the world of T and they're righteous they don't deserve to suffer like Wicked people do so therefore the more you are connected to them the more you're getting protection uh to live a long life uh because they uh it's it's not just based on your actions it's based on whether they deserve to have the uh loss of your uh you know your your good and your your life your existence in the world so the more a Jew or Gentile makes themselves needed by the world of toah by people the more they're giving themselves protection uh even during the time where the Satan is being allowed to walk in the streets okay this this is pretty much all the questions thank you very much for learning with me please make sure to uh contribute as much as you can on our campaigns BH org or if you have still haven't done your T in regards to t uh make sure to do them as soon as possible at the very least do something on a monthly basis because this is something that's going to help you sanctify yourself find a z have better A lot of blessings come from T and last but not least make sure to share these lectures with as many people as possible because as you've seen the numbers are off the charts but there's still a lot more people out there that I haven't heard the truth of the toah they've heard a lot of lies they've heard heard a lot of distortions and it's time they hear the truth especially the truth when it comes to the value of a Jewish life everybody we'll learn again together [Music] tomorrow [Music] I for [Music] h oh [Music]
