So this week starts
if we will listen at the end we will
listen to mitzvah
tells us reward many many good things as
we mentioned last week that the entire
safe for the ishenu's
his goodbye to
>> and like like that the reason the reason
he he rebuked them only before he passed
away this was
and he passed away zod 37 days later for
the last month of his life he reminded
him of all the all the problems they
gave him the 40 years in the midbar and
everything and all the all the trouble
that he made all the years. So this is
part of the u part of the rebuke
and now he's giving them good stuff
rewards.
Huh?
>> I will soon you soon find out.
>> You'll soon find out he talks about it.
>> Yeah. If
>> if
in exchange
>> if
says exchange
>> inch exchange for what you're going to
listen to you're going to get. Yeah.
Basically if you're going to listen.
So says what we have to understand is
it will be
what's going to be
talking about the he tells later on that
if you're going to listen to he's going
to be
what what's if you're going to listen
will keep his promise that he promised
you
what's the point in saying if it'll be
if you're going to Listen,
another thing we have to understand
if you're going to listen.
If you will go on the wise of if you
will listen. So what's the
mitzvah that a person steps upon like
the the unimportant mitzvah that a
person thinks they're not so important
but he says
in
theor has a whole says by
The whole the whole over there many
different different places. But where
saysim
the master of all the prophets in all
generations.
He came with his pleasant words
to tell us say
a person cannot rejoice in this world.
says
if you listen to all's commandments
then he can rejoice
but as long as a person feels that he
wasn't all thee everything to the last
detail to the last
upon someone like that
what are you happy about like the famous
story somebody once came to Kany and he
said he wants a braha was a braha said I
bought a very fancy car I'm afraid of
iron said asked him you know the whole
sh
said you know at least one of said no
says who's going to be jealous of you
who's going to be jealous of you so I
said he said the same the same said
you're happy what are you happy
is the heel. The heel of a person all
the way in the bottom. So at the end if
you're going to be all the mashem all
down all the way down to the bottom.
We see the
last the last steps of the end. We're
living right
>> then.
Why said the rabbit get
no
>> it would only be val would have been in.
He says
>> no but might have first.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
Okay.
>> In the end, that's what he said.
>> Yes. He brings a bad word at the end. If
you listen all the way down to the
bottom of every single mitzvah, they can
be happy. Otherwise, what are you happy
about?
>> Because the end of time will come.
It's called the last steps, the the
heels.
>> Yeah.
If you will listen to theem
and you will heed everything, every
command of all the way down to the last
one.
>> Yeah.
If a person has not arrived to that
point of listening to every single
what are you happy about? Take a smile
with your face.
like
a person who abstains from from the
mundane person who absolut
feels that he's not it's not good
enough. He wants to do better or better
but he has he has an external smile.
He's always happy.
How can a person be happy if he's going
to stand with shame and disgrace?
At the end of time 120 they're going to
come up to and they're going to ask you
did you do what you're supposed to do in
this world
and I can know where to bury yourself.
So a person was in that m what are you
happy about? What are you happy about?
And even more so
if you done such a that you you deserve
the death penalty head
>> the head chopped off.
So if you're going to listen to all
you're going to heed all the bits of
he continues and he says he fixes the
at the end. If he has listened to
everything
and as long as he's still alive and you
haven't reached the end,
at
>> 80 years. He was kind of 80 years and
became a which means that even a person
is is on the highest level. You don't
know until you close your eyes. Once
you're you're down under, then you know
that it's done. Then you can rejoice.
>> So you never you never you never feel
secure, right? Always more to do.
not down
a person's
a person loses a loved one. You're
and
you're not allowed to learn. Why?
Because
makes a person happy. Come say goodbye
to everyone. He's leaving.
Oh, so nice.
>> I want to stay. I want to stay.
>> That's later.
>> Have us all the mind.
>> We should get here before.
[Music]
Sorry. The mitzvah of
straight
makes a person happy.
The reward that you get for learning is
the alone is also.
So what's what's the mitzvah? The
mitzvah brings another mitzvah. What's
the other mitzvah? The sim that you have
by learning to the mitzvah mitzvah
mitzvah that you get is the also mitzvah
>> on top of what he says before.
>> Yeah. So you have you have a double
mitzvah. Once you get there, you're a
double learning and the reward for that
is
>> and alone is also mitzvah.
There's no greater joy joy for the
like the time when he didn't learn to
has is when he didn't learn to
is happy.
So if we listen to Hashem, we learn to
so Hashem is happy.
>> When Hashem is happy.
Oh coin. So when Hashem is happy,
Hashem is everything in the world,
right? Everything in the world is
Hashem. There's nothing but him. So if
everything is happy, everything's happy.
Hashem is happy, which is everything.
>> We're happy.
So
that's
in the word a is the heel. So we know
that the person who's humble walks
doesn't walk
humble. So the is also and a person
walking humble
a person is humble it'll be to
understand the depth of the deeper and
deeper.
You will hear deeper things which you
haven't heard.
If a person is humble like the heels of
the foot of the foot
understand you got to understand deeper
and deeper
will reveal to him
Hashem says all the mitzvah if you will
heed them properly you will live and you
will multiply.
[Music]
He's he's going to explain this person
according to the mama
children
life longevity
has nothing to do with
Muslim it depends on your Muslim.
So we spoke about once that although it
says a Muslim is
>> the cloud is above the Muslim. So the
the the
explained that is the he is our Muslim.
So a person connects to a higher level.
So you're way above the
is the
oil
>> which is really which is really
it's not real because the is the yesh
we're the we the iron
>> the opposite
>> you are the opposite but the created the
world yes so we think we are yesesh but
the mish
is the the real yes
>> but In any case he says
so if you keep the toilet properly
if they will strain themselves
they're guaranteed
you're guaranteed to have these three
things
explains explains it in the
life, longevity,
you'll multiply
[Applause]
promised us
you'll have the whole world and
everything that's in it. We bought the
cold tool. Hashem says when you come to
you'll find the houses full of all the
goodies which you didn't have to work
for. You got it free. So if we keep the
toy properly, we do all this.
So now we see
>> the fridge filled itself.
>> Yeah. It's like the say
shall grow on the trees.
>> Cakes cakes will grow on the tree.
>> Cakes not cakes not healthy but bread.
>> Bread. Okay.
>> But what healthy?
>> So what will the corns do?
>> Oi and watch it grow.
>> Something to look forward to. Okay.
>> The corn tree.
>> Oh,
cornbread.
>> The cornbread from a corn tree.
>> So now we see
somebody
laborers.
I'll bring you I'll bring I'll prove it
to you
says that was and was
they couldn't have children but
because he labored and he strained
himself to do
his mang.
[Music]
So many good pieces this week. You got
your you got your wishes.
[Music]
You should remember because he's the one
that gives you the
person has to pay attention to the fact
that is so good to him
because everything we have is from him.
It's all gifts.
The person remembers constantly every
deal that I make, every stone that I buy
and every watch that I sell is
nobody else.
And the first trick where he tries to
trap us,
he wants us to forget that. He doesn't
want us to remember at all points. You
make a deal, a real estate deal,
whatever it is. You sell a good car,
make a good deal. A new bakery, new
bakery opened up and they're taking
bread from corn. You have to know it's
not
comes into a person by distorting this
this this detail. That's how he gets
him.
>> Yeah.
Maybe perhaps
right after that it says
if you're going to forget
if you're going to forget that Hashem is
the one who gives you every single
detail in life. It's not only in
business.
You have a good wife, you have a good
house, you have a good car, you have a
good children. Every single detail the
person has in life is from
>> and you have to remember that
constantly. constantly remind yourself
cuz it's works on us all the time to
forget.
Once you forget that, you're in trouble.
You're going to forget completely.
You're gonna go
he'll bow down to your
and we know that it says
that the
money is and cover all these things.
>> Huh?
Yes, could be could be could become
>> if you rely on it more than you rely on
who becomes your desire.
>> Ask a couple of billionaire
>> for those days.
>> No, these days also
>> these days you don't talk to your wife,
you don't talk to your kids, you want
money
>> working more than working like Boston.
>> Ask Ask Ask a billionaire. Ask a
billionaire. He thinks nothing can
happen. Nothing can change it.
The biggest man that is chasing the buck
not the biggest man has also given my
whole goal
and
a rich man that wanted to die with his
car
now he did he went into the grave with
his car
million car
>> you think you think you think you think
the worms didn't get in
>> your roach
the richest people in the world said
he says
>> I'll never die for hunger.
>> And he died from hunger.
>> He died from hunger. He died from
hunger. Locked into the safe.
>> He rode with blood in the world. All his
money in the world. He said never say
never say never say never.
Huh.
comes out.
We just learned those who learned if
someone who bows down to was a crazy
type of
throw stones. That was
>> so the the of this was by throwing
stones. But if you bow down to it,
>> which is not the you're still ugly.
>> Yeah,
>> you're still ugly.
>> But but even though it's not the Yeah,
>> cuz it's not the D. What's why you bow
down to it? stupid stone.
Remembering this that gives us
everything in life that is foundation
form.
And if a person is lacking this thing
will get you down down down till they
destroy you.
She says
we say it every day
of the
>> Yeah.
He says, "I heard
if a person says everything that he
eats,
he doesn't take anything into his mouth
if he doesn't say a proper
and after
when this person leaves the world after
120."
Yeah. What's going on here?
Can you start late?
>> Cockroaches.
>> Can you start late?
>> What?
>> What if we start at 25?
>> Yeah. Can we
>> start today? Any day? It doesn't matter.
>> Yeah, but what about the couple years
behind
>> it? Gets it gets if you do chuva get
everything gets gets wiped.
>> So, this is a very frightening and it's
not a but it's not only frighten but
it's also it's a it's it's very it's
very good feeling. If you know that you
say every brahen first brah and after
brahim the way it should be you're
guaranteed that the worms will not touch
you.
>> Wow. Pretty crazy huh? Can I ask can I
ask how that benefits
>> how it benefits a person said
one little bite that they take is
like sticking a needle into someone's
someone's body
>> I think I think
as long as he's not upstairs. Now, this
is the indicator down here.
>> Yeah, the guy is already flying
>> there. You're not flying. Your is
flying. Your body is here.
>> If the say
that is what it is,
>> but we have a have we have an tell me
the result. He says if you make done
>> Yeah. Saya properly before and after, he
guaranteed that the worms are not going
to touch you.
>> Why? And do what you didn't. He explains
because the worms are part of the
says that
will eat you
and your person says food
the ultimate house. The the ultimate
house, the final destination. Like
Miller, the B said, he was once he once
going to cemetery, he had to be he put
it in the GPS. When he arrived, he says,
"Yeah, reach your final destination."
>> But we know the
came out of his
>> heard
cuz heard,
>> right?
>> 17 years.
>> Yeah. Yeah. But but his body was whole
for 17 years.
>> 17 years he was whole. He was living in
the buried answering questions.
>> He wasn't buried.
>> Answering questions.
>> He was Yeah. He was answering questions.
>> Ask and he answered.
>> So you see that the body is
227.
They're announcing
in his house. Don't touch his house.
This guy made properly. He's he's he's
blessed. You can't touch him.
He He remind He remembers and he reminds
Hashem's name and everything that he
eats.
He doesn't he doesn't enjoy anything in
this world without blessing.
That's why he's saved from the worms.
So when a person eats, what happens with
the food they eat, you grow from it. So
you grew from
we know that doesn't curse does not have
any in a place where
and since all of the flesh is
>> yeah your whole body you grew from
and the is very very strong in these
things not to not not to say properly
that's
I once heard somebody saying in the
morning
what
>> say
is an explanation and he elaborates
are much better
delivery.
>> They're more mak to say properly.
>> They don't have better delivery. They
they just deliver better because they
>> say about the Spanish
every word is okay
>> is very very holy.
So theor gets him some somewhere else.
Gets him somewhere else. Gets
everywhere. And so he's a malik human.
>> Huh?
>> Okay.
Says he explains the the uh the insights
of the mitzvah.
At
least I have a forb.
Somebody who says
he will have
all his life.
>> You can make all time that your belly is
still full.
>> What? What
>> you can make
all time that you still
>> but Gmorrah says Gimmorra says says a sh
>> if you ate somewhere
if you ate somewhere and then you you're
somewhere else can you bench over there?
So the says if a person was picking
fruit from a tree it was on top of the
tree and he left a he left his wallet
with a million dollars there will he go
back of course he go back. That's
>> Yeah.
>> Mhm.
>> Yeah. Golden.
>> Yeah. The golden press.
>> You go back. Of course you go back. So
why shouldn't you go back to bench?
>> It's a guarantee for
golden golden what?
>> A golden bottle
or something.
because
>> if you're in the same same room and it's
the other room. Yeah, but not if you're
in Burough Park and you
>> Yeah, but not
>> you can see it on you see it on the web.
You want to finish
>> it's a guarantee. It's a guarantee for
Hello.
>> Yeah.
Look at the next
who was the after the bento
who was the
rich who was the who was the the afterto
he said
you should be careful to be more more
careful by more than domin
And if a person is he has when he
benches
it creates
it brings down love. Hashem brings down
love to this world
and all the worlds pour upon us.
So he brings an interesting over here.
So once came to his
and he said
I need a
my son doesn't like the bench. What do I
do? So I said to him very simple
if you're going to bench at home every
word loud
your son is going to learn from you
bench. We know that every child wants to
be like his father. If your father's a
fireman wants to be a fireman. If your
father is a a singer your son wants to
be a singer. Your father sells cars
wants to sell cars. If your father's a
baker wants to be a baker. That's the
that's the fact.
So if you see a father benching
also benchlam
was a big inlam
was a big reb in in Poland. He had very
big following very big and he wanted to
run away from it. He was a
so he ran alone without nobody knew who
he was. He was hanging around for quite
a few years. Nobody knew who he was. He
was undercover until finally someone
from Poland came and said you know who
this is
there's a big pish
story told told about him that he used
to he used to sit in shuk makuda by an
Arab Arab who was baking pock he used to
sit there every day nobody understood
why he's sitting there they once asked
him
>> before they knew who he was
>> yeah someone so somebody asked him like
no no they asked him what are you doing
with this Arab
So he said he he sits there and he he
cuts little pieces of wood and throws it
into the fire. It should be pass
people should not eat pastum.
So he befriended this Arab who was
baking and everybody was buying from
him. He wanted to make sure that he
didn't eat proper bread. The big sed
what year was your passed away in the
>> 70s? 80 years ago.
That's so long ago.
>> I don't remember him.
>> Before the war. Right before the war.
>> No, no, no. He came to he was after the
war.
>> Yeah. Beginning of Topshin
somewhere around there.
>> Topshi.
>> No, no, no.
>> Yeah. I was
>> 1960.
>> I was born 1960.
>> Sorry.
So,
listen to this.
He said like this. If you want your
children to be
bench from inside,
children should see that you bench from
inside. And that's is
We got to do all this. What is this?
>> No, no, no. We left a while ago. You
were in LA
years ago
who was a Talik of Dariz. He was the
only one that said he's allowed to write
his 30s. He writes in
my
the the most the most the most important
way the most crucial way how a person
can reach
through
the a person has.
If you have every time you make a on
food things that you enjoy
that is the way to reach
through that we make
we know that everything physical this
world has
so
it's like feeling a peanut And
so when a person says
the clippers disintegrate, they run
away.
Crazy.
>> Yeah.
Also very holy man, very holy rabbi. He
wrote
he wrote it he wrote a very very long
elaborate
to his children right before he passed
away and it's printed in his sacred
he writes to his children
I I will write to you my beloved
children
something
I want you to remember
He he reveals to them something that he
did all his life
before which I which I did after I ate
in privacy. He ate in his little he had
a little house and had a little room
where he ate here private. He didn't
want to be bothered by anyone.
You know that all my life I ate myself.
I was always feared.
I was always worried that the middle of
benching someone will come knocking at
the door and he'll disturb me from
benching. I'm not going to have my
creator God.
Please save me.
No one should come bother me while I'm
benching.
After
I finish benching
and the bench, nobody bothered me.
I thanked Hashem with a tremendous joy.
I thank you Hashem my creator
that you saved me that nobody disturbed
me in the middle of benching and and and
disturbed my
so we have here we have for we have for
