No Excuses! - Rabbi Yaron Reuven

[Music] Tomas says that although the Torah has a couple of verses that say that the Benham the sons are not going to suffer for the parents sins takuma says the opposite the Gemara says that actually there are cases that the sons or daughters ha special um will suffer for the parents sins sake we explained it the answer is all the time is that the Kamiya explains if the son or daughter repeats the parents sins if they repeat the parents sins then they get punished for both if they don't they get rewarded for not why why is it our fault because Hashem it Barack put himself put a piece of himself inside you inside you is a piece of a Shem meaning there's no such thing as a person who doesn't have a conscience it's no such thing you may have evil intentions you may have desires you can't overcome but nonetheless everyone has a country everyone knows the truth everyone knows inside us we all know whether it's right or wrong everyone knows no one in their right mind thinks that murder is a good thing to do you don't need the Torah for that no one in their right mind thinks that stealing is a good is a good sign of a positive person of someone that's honest no one thinks such things you don't need a tour for that so a sham told us I put a piece of myself inside you to make sure that you have this conscious and the reason why is because even if you see your parents sinning you're gonna know it's wrong so you're not gonna be able to go up to show my him after 120 and say hey my father was a sinner so I continued his ways my mother was a sinner so I continued our ways there's no such thing there's no such excuse and the reason why is because if you look at some of the major sages some of the major personalities in our Torah didn't exactly come from the greatest families if this excuse would have been a good excuse mine then teyla would have been viewed as an idol worshipper would have been viewed as a good father but in reality was an idol worshipper until he did Shuba until you did sure why he was an idol worshipper but nonetheless of Lama Vino could have used the excuse and said listen my father's not only an idol worshipper ease the Walmart of idol worship all the idols so I have an excuse why do I need to become monotheistic didn't use that excuse another example is that there was a person that his brother was a giant a giant in righteousness his father was Khalid Oh bigger giant his grandfather even a bigger giant but he does a verse in the Torah it says it a salve sanity his name was a serf and God specifically says him I hate him what do you mean hello killed Jews killed ami said he doesn't say he hates him no book Annette said killed millions doesn't say he hates him a lot of people were wicked doesn't say he hates them but a sub I it's up I hate him why is a sub worse than a book on it sell worse than pal Oh worse than anyone in history why because they suffer knew the truth they solve knew his brother was a deacon knock off his father it's hard Sadiq his grandfather of law all the reasons in the world to do good but he still chose otherwise he still chose otherwise the fact that he knew and still didn't do it a self sanity that's why I shame only allowed his head to be buried in malat I'm a fella and not the rest of his body because his head neutral his body just didn't do it and for that my friends we need to understand then we go up to shaman there's no excuses there's no excuses because we have both arguments in the Torah once that had bad parents and once that had good parents in both cases you have the opposite happening Tara wasn't exactly the best but Islam was of Lomb why Alam had a conscious and he realized the truth is a shimmied Baha I'm sticking to him but you gonna go on fire doesn't matter you know going fire doesn't matter we're going fire doesn't matter I'm going with the truth why my conscience tells me that's what I have to do that's the Amit I'm sticking to it hey Saab my father is a dick he's a rabbi my grandfather's arrived everybody's fathers are a bouquet what about you isn't gonna Nathan what about you none of my father your father is not gonna help you your grandfather is not gonna help you oh the only thing I can help you is you are you gonna be a sob are you gonna be Yaakov that's your choice but it's not the same we all choose to be Yaakov [Music] [Applause]
