Parashat Mishpatim: Does Gambling Lead To Poverty

we which is full of laws continuing from last week uh also this will also go towards ba uh mayem judge him favorably favorably and uh amen hopefully uh cause all of us to uh to learn how uh how needy we are for for hm's Grace at all times of our life also debie debie I'm sorry but Rael uh and uh all of them Israel all of them Israel they all have uh and get closer and closer to hem as soon as possible amen amen you know the uh the things that we uh we see all the time is that you know when you uh tell people about uh doing Chua changing their life fixing their life things of that nature uh sometimes people react in a favorable way they see the truth they act you know just like uh we spoke about last week with he saw the truth he heard that's it that was enough for him unfortunately most of the world is not like that most of the world is not uh quite the same uh most of the world needs to hear it over and over and over again until we do CH and uh the one of the things that uh we see that shows hashem's Grace's with us uh is that he constantly gives us an opportunity last week I told you guys a story about and uh you know he said you know what's when someone asked him what's going to happen to all of the wicked people people not keeping not keeping Shabbat not keeping all the foundation of uh of Judaism and uh you know as the Torah says repeated it without worrying about being politically correct like many people are today he said listen someone that's not uh righteous will burn and Gom this is not politically correct this is not something that people want to hear this is not what people want to feel but unfortunately in our generation this is the first step of what makes people do Chua and a for my littleit Limited The Experience over the last few years of helping people do CH uh we've had a lot of success especially in the last uh few months a lot of people have uh from all over the world as the shim has become more uh more popular and even with a lot of converts from all over the world from Norway from Bulgaria uh from Australia from uh Atlanta all over the United States converts the phone doesn't stop the internet doesn't stop it's m if I can get a few hours of sleep it's uh it's a present it's m I'm unbelievable and I'm thankful for it hopefully it's 24 hours a day you see that there are people in the world that are searching for the truth but there is one common denominator amongst most people that I've seen and obviously I've also seen from Rabbi kak's experience and also Rabbi M's experience and also for my own personal experience that most people that have gotten to the point of not only seeing the truth but welcoming the truth once they see it usually had to encounter a very big difficulty usually had to encounter something very difficult in their life whether it was a divorce Shalom or a death or sickness or money lost or something like that so any of us that have not encountered any of those major issues should really feel fortunate that we have an opportunity to do CH before Hashem gives us the the big uh the big uh plague the the most difficult one as I told you from my per you know previous experience in sh number 45 we talked about it in detail with verses in the Tor I wasn't wise enough I had many many tests from Hashem many notices from Hashem and didn't listen and uh the test became more and more difficult now rasan says that one of the things that people need to understand is that they cannot show up to the BET of sham and expect the truth to tolerate lies because the be of sh sh is complete truth there's no lies there's no stories there's no sh there's no uh a cover up for anything the Shad is a bribes uh there's none of that stuff over there is the truth they show you a movie on a big screen TV and you see exactly what happened from the minute you started your life here to the minute you ended your life and it tells you exactly every single thing you did and they ask you questions about every single event why why did you steal here why did you do this why did you do this why this why this but it's not like I'm saying it's in a nice calm way if you did Chua they still uh if you did Chua depends what level of Chua you reached if you did the full complete Chua no full complete chuva can wipe out your sins turn them into either if you did chuva where it's you know it's completely out of just fear then your sins turn into a uh shig meaning accidental sins uh accidental sins you don't get the same level or anywhere near the same level of judgment it's much much slower it's a uh big gift if you ultimately continue this Chua and you build your Chua in part or even all of your Chua gets to a high level where you get to love of hem you know CH out of out of love your your sins not only are no longer there but they actually all turn into mitv you show up to the bed of sh with instead of 50 trillion sins you now have 50 trillion MIT plus all the MIT you did on top of that you're a very very rich man or a woman so wasman said listen this is what it says this is what Torah says there's a judge there's a you know and uh there's a instructions of what to follow now again and said so what's going to happen what's what can we add to to this what can we add to what said not that it's not enough what can we add to it that applies to our generation that makes us see the of see the the the uh love from Hashem and the kindness from Hashem despite such harsh words on one hand you're telling me listen Hashem loves us we're his firstborn son he uh you know he cares everything about us he gives us everything even if what he gives us he knows that we're going to use it to sin against him he's still going to give it to us even a Rasha even a rash that's about to do something bad rob a bank kill somebody whatever he wants to do some R prays to hasem and believes that hm will help him H will help him even a why because believing in Hashem and believing that Hashem will help you is enough of a reason for Hashem to help you that's the kindness of hm so now how can we see the kindness of hasem in such in such difficult words where says the secular Wicked that do not do will burn and again says the ofm in our generation and every generation has been the same there's no such thing as a person that goes through their entire life without constantly encountering AEM without constantly seeing hashem's hand in his life no such thing a different part of somebody's life AEM will appear to him in one way or another he will create such a miracle for him whether it's through his business or through his marriage or through his a uh you know saved his life for an accident or countless trillions of other ways that Hashem can show himself to us where it's obvious that there has to be something that influenced the the outcome because it has nothing to do with us has nothing to do with us somebody didn't study for a test didn't you know had problems at home had problems at work had problems but he needs this test to become a lawyer he needs this test to become a financial advisor he needs this test to become an electrician unfortunately did not have time somehow he shows up to the test and he not only passes the test but he passes it in with flying colors what do you think all of a sudden he became smart somebody has a train running right at him all of a sudden somebody he didn't see was completely empty on the uh on the uh train tracks nobody's there he didn't realize the train is coming and all of a sudden somebody pulls him back where did that guy come from why did that guy even care enough to save your life somebody's got to about to declare bankruptcy has nothing lost all of his money hasem shows up shows up with money in one way or another that you could not even think about as hem says my thoughts are not like your thoughts I don't think like you so don't give me ideas of what I should do to help you I don't need your ideas because my thoughts are not like your thoughts everything that you can think of is not going to happen why because if it's a solution that you can come up with it cannot be a solution that hasem will use because then you're going to think you did it you're going to give excuse oh it's nature or it's me or it's my friend or it's this or it's that when Hashem brings his salvation to your life he gives you gives it to you in a way that's the last thing that you could have ever thought in in Mo you know in a uh all cases really you couldn't have thought of it so how is it that so many people encounter entire life full life whether it's 30 years or it's 100 years it's still a full life in essence because they still live up to them it's a full life for them they've had many situations in their life where Hashem sent them a sign he talked to them in one way or another sometimes he's talking to them through hardship sickness poverty marriage problems kids problems million other problems that we have in this world and sometimes it's through miracles to get you out of this difficulties but he's constantly talking to you so how is it that people go to 30 50 60 70 100 120 years without believing in God and I don't mean believing in God with his no no no I believe in God but they don't keep anything someone that goes to beet doesn't mean he believes in God somebody that has a beard doesn't mean believes in God believing in God is Not only complying with what the Torah says but making god making a part of your daily life all day all the time why did he give us so many mitv to keep us to keep him in our mind think about me pray to me ask me son ask me and I'll give it to you I have so much to give you just need to pray for it just pray for it if you didn't get it that's because you didn't pray for it I have it he has it money wife children anything you want he has it pray but at the least you could do is pray for the Apple you about to eat you went to the bathroom everything worked remind you that I created the uh Heaven and the Earth in six days and rested on the seventh you pray on Shabbat you learn my Torah you learn my instruction set that I gave to you over 3,300 years ago pray to me if you're not getting what you want my friend that means you're not praying because Hashem has it all he wants you is to ask ask this is why is over 40 years had a surprise present every day every day it was a surprise to them that the man showed up from Heaven food from Heaven showed up every day they did not have to slaughter anything they not have to chase any animals they not have to you know maybe collect some Scorpions from the ground maybe to eat it because they're starving nothing everything every morning man showed up and based on the level ofun in righteousness of the person the man showed up closer to their house to their tent if the person was completely righteous it showed up right at their door if the person was wicked he had to walk a little bit for it depending how Wicked he was could be a mile even everybody else he's seeing everybody else finishing their food he finally got his why he didn't pray to me why did Hashem give it to us every day cuz he wanted want us to pray to him why do hasm give us a lot of mitv he wants us to pray to him why does hasm give us difficulties because it's the only time we remember him through problems never in history have I ever heard personally someone says thank God after they won the lot so of again says Hashem shows up in your life constantly you have to pay attention you have to open your eyes overcome your yet your evil inclination in your desire for material things your desire for doing whatever you please and see his hand in it and once you see his hand in your life you never want to let it go we have to see it so now when someone passes unfortunately there's not much that they can do for themselves they're already in Judgment Day there's a trial in shamim that last one year and all of the truth is exposed as we said and as it says in the Tah there's no bribes there's no uh excuses there's nothing else so what can we do what can we do the few things that the person left in this world is the only thing that it could help him when someone left behind a life of Torah and he has students he has children they're learning Torah every one of them is a partner in the situation gets better and better every year on both the the living and and the ones that have passed get judged why what do you mean he's already judged he's already up there all of the mitv that he accumulated as a result of his actions during his life even if his life was 500 years ago he wrote a book book people are doing CH because of his book for the last 500 years every year new people read this book every year new people have done mitah because of this book every year those mitv go up to him and make his situation even better than it already is there's no limitation to the amount of good that hasm can offer us there's no limit to G unfortunately if someone left bad it's the opposite so what can we do to somebody that didn't leave much the few things that we can do is the obviously the popular one is when someone says kadish someone says kadish on a someone that have passed could potentially help his soul to know some extent it doesn't necessarily get anyone that's wicked into a uh gedan or anything but it helps it helps if someone is righteous makes them even better someone is doing a Mitzvah because of you so there a good thing that kazal teaches us about just to understand this and then we'll St to par and we'll go over some other things later on to connect all of this is in the morning prayer and also at night in both inak and and also when there's a you know uh say and we say right a thousand a thousand of them is worth one Amen in a thousand is worth one amen one at one time you say Amen somebody said a prayer for an apple they eat Bo is worth like a thousand why aen because we remember we learned a man is not really just a man like oh a man aen aen aen man no a man is acronym forem L the god mhm the king the reliable what mean reliable well of course I can reli no reliably means that when I say something that's it doesn't change my thoughts are not like your thoughts when I say there's a reward and Punishment there a reward and punishment for all when I say someone has someone hasom whatever it is means whatever I say is eternal the Torah that I wrote is eternal will never change whatever those crazy Christians say or Catholics or Muslims or kites or anybody else that's a they want to say there's other books no when anyone in the world says the word says they're contradicting those thoughts themselves why because that word means the Torah can never change it's Eternal can never change no no elaborations no modernization nothing that's what amen means on a small level there's more we can talk about amen a thousand amen a thousand amen equals [Applause] one which is what you say in kadish someone says right we respond that one is equal a, am men a thousand of men [Applause] a I didn't make this up I'm not smart if something like this learn this from something amazing everyone wants to say kadish somebody passed away Shalom a parent a brother a sister uh friend whatever the biggest big Cav that someone wants to give someone honor that someone wants to give someone that past is say kadish on him and you see that when the public says amen how level of it how high of a level it is now a thousand of a is equal to one word in the Torah one word starts the first word just now I said is worth a thousand right there you said how many said five words what this shows you the level of you learn to nothing better now is the point we all know that there's two types of sins there's the sin of which is something that's literally written in the Tor and then there's the the laws the additions that rabbis the sages not rabbis from you know local synagogue today 2,000 years ago sages that were able to bring back the dead sages that had cures for every disease sages that their wisdom if we lived a million years we can't get to them okay this type of sages people think oh no some old Rabbi 2,000 years ago thought of these mitv if you learn about the sages and the stories of the sages you realize this is not normal and according to our standards we talked about the uh the uh significance of the sages in the past we had a sh about it they had cures they already had the uh ability to do uh a um lipos suction 2,500 years ago give somebody anesthesia 2,500 years ago cure problems with the eyes with just putting a cream in the back of the head you remember all this in a shi if you don't I'll tell you after a shi I don't remember which number it was but it's a uh one of the sh we did a lot of different things that sages had wisdom that they had is beyond anything we could imagine they knew the number of stars they know exactly how long it takes spe every species to become pregnant amazing they knew that wine in I think it's if I don't if I'm not mistaken they already knew that wine is good for the heart but beer is bad for it this will only discovered in modern medicine maybe the last 20 years 2,500 years ago they knew this they didn't have MRIs CAT scans and all this allab equipment this is the sages I'm talking about so ran they added some things because hasem said put a fence around my fence based on the generation you're going to see that some people are more inclined to make certain sins in different Generations different Generations have different the that the generation of bet mikdash the second bet mikdash doing a I'm sorry the first bet doing a doesn't make any sense to us what do you mean so they went to Chinatown they got a little statue and then they started praying him when they have AEM they see hashem's you know uh is is is um I guess some some type of uh Cloud that he's bringing to the BET mikdash every day and then they take a little statue they bought from chinat toown and they pray to it doesn't make any sense well first of all we know already from previous that those statues had powers they were able to talk they were able to do things but it doesn't matter you have AEM and our two different things our is to barely do in the morning wake up for for is barely we're afraid to put a keeper maybe somebody's going to make fun of me maybe this guy's not going to do business with me we're afraid is looking at women all the time we can't keep our eyes just to our wife you know based on the Torah your wife is not only supposed to supposed to be everything but every woman in the world is supposed to be like a monkey to you know I'm I'm not joking every woman in the world other than your wife is supposed to be a monkey Beauty only belongs to your wife you're never allowed to say or even think that anyone else is good-looking why you sign the you sign a it's a contract all of your attention all of your love all of your desire belongs to your wife you sign a part of theba is marital relations whenever your wife wants you you're obligated to do it it's not whenever you want whenever she wants but part of that is that you are devoting your life to her you have to keep your eyes so now raanan said I'm going to have we're going to have to add a few laws because different Generations make different sense so we're going to add certain things to keep them away from it so for example the reason you're not allowed to ride a bicycle on Shabbat not let the write a bicycle Shabbat based on the Tor you're allowed based on the the you're allowed added the law you're not allowed why because of the fear that if you ride a bicycle on Shabbat maybe the chain is going to fall off and you're going to fix it and that you're not allowed to do on Shabbat based on the so to get you away from ever making a a Biblical violation let's just not ride a bicycle so it's not allowed to ride a bicycle so raanan we're very smart to get us as far away from ever making a Biblical sin because biblical sin rean is also a problem but it's not as big of a problem as what hasem said so now why am I saying all of this remember we started this by saying a thousand is one amen one a thousand amen is one one a th equals to one word in Tor now if let's say someone wants to spend not a regular day but Shabbat the level of T that you learn during the week versus the level of T you learn on Shabbat is two different things just so you know you learn T during the week it's great magnificent you have to every morning every night you have to learn to at some point every day ideally is to learn at morning and at night twice a day but if you can't at least once a day you have to do once a day but you learn your your reward for learning to shabbat is a billion times higher one word that you learn on Shabbat is extraordinary it's light it's it's Heaven and Earth difference of the reward that you get for the Torah you learn on Shabbat versus during the day so now some guy smart guy he says Ah not only am I going to learn on Shabbat I'm learn 24 hours straight on Shabbat Shabbat 24 learn 24 hours look how much MIT I'm getting over here one Tor one word of Tor I'm going to learn for 24 hours how many words can you do did math he said can learn 60,000 words in an hour read 60,000 words in one hour he learns for he learns for 10 hours a day that means he makes 600,000 at the highest level a day that's why it's a good deal to help somebody learns T your partner in every one of those he gets 600,000 every day you get 600,000 it's not 300 300 it's like fire BV is like fire one candle lights a second candle that's uh you know it's there still two fires not like the one first candle went half so someone says you know what I'm going learn to I'm going to learn for 24 hours get the highest level of mitah at the highest time on Shabbat but what happens he forgot to keep the light on in his room his darkness in his office he can't learn to so he says you know what maybe I can make a violation ran by turning on the light with a shinui in in a unnatural way turning on the light obviously not all to do it but turning it on with a unusual way that's a that's a violation of rabinal law so what is he going to do I'm going to take my chair and throw it at the switch it's going to turn it on so I'm making a sin but it's a small sin it's why to make 24 hours worth of uh the highest level of mitv well get a go toah says it's better to completely not study even one word of Torah on Shabbat not even one word then to make a rabinal sin all of that Torah is canceled now it's cancelled it's 24 hours of T he's ready he's prepared he's prepared the whole week the whole month the whole year for this one day says that little biblical sin you think it's a little bit biblical sin is worth more than your Torah for 24 hours on Shabbat if that doesn't give us the idea of how big Shabbat is in a nice way in sham there something wrong with us now why is it that so many people do not have a clue that Shabbat is as significant as it gets and last week's par we got the Ten Commandments The Ten Commandments are not the 613 uh MIT we have they're not they're not part of the 613 mitv they're the foundation meaning that the 613 mitv all stem from the 10 the Ten Commandments break into 613 mitv all of those 613 mitv have a source that's one of the Ten Commandments which means the Ten Commandments it's everything violating 10 one of the Ten Commandments you violated the entire Tor so now obviously we know that Shabbat is number four but how come so many people don't know because they don't follow the first verse in this week's Paras first Works verse in this week's and these are the ordinances these are the rules the ordinances that you shall place before them Hashem is telling you this is the rules you have to put this in front of people don't don't worry about if they feel bad don't worry about if they get turned off don't worry about if they don't like it or they don't agree with it or they get mad at you this is the rules you have to put this in front of them don't think for me don't be a prophet and say no maybe he can't handle it maybe he can't handle it maybe it's too much maybe it's not too much it's not your business it's not your business what the future holds Hashem decides the future holdes this what the Torah is the same today as it was 3,300 years ago it's the same that it's going to be forever because someone is upset does not change the Torah because someone doesn't like it doesn't change the Torah he doesn't agree with it doesn't change the Tor everything stays the same your job here you go my friend seph t look you're upset that I told you that Shabbat is not considered Jewish I understand it's not nice to hear if you it's not nice to hear it's not nice to hear that if you say when you it actually can hurt the person that's dead not helped them because your prayer is considered to disgusting to Hashem disgusting it's not that's not that's not nice to hear it's not politically correct but it's not my business it's not my business what's not nice to hear what's my business this what it says Hashem said it you have to decide for yourself what you want to do why because hem is going to constantly approach you in your life show himself in your life over and over again sometimes it's through amazing Miracles as we were saying in the beginning of the sh so show you amazing miracles business success learning success marriage success child success all types of saving your life in countless ways if you don't listen to the success something else comes that's the opposite of success and difficult te's begin marriage problems child problems the opposite opposite of everything you want opposite of everything we want sicknesses this that why because you didn't put the laws in front of you now if you went to a rabbi and this so-called Rabbi with a nice long beard from here to the door and a hat and a black and white suit and everything is great and he tells you n don't worry about it yeah no just say for next week don't worry about you don't have to do CH all Jews have hem loves you you could be a cof whenever you want you can curse him if you want you can do whatever you want just give to our uh organization don't worry about it that's not a that's a that's amalik I spoke to two big rabbis very big rabbis very very big in this this week one in Israel one in America I figured let's balance it out the one in Israel when I told them what's going on was oh no that's not R that's not that's not rabbis that's that's Amal Amal the one that we read about a couple of weeks ago go went to war with us that hasem promised that he's going to destroy them at the end of times part of them are in our nation goes yeah that's them they have a beard right yeah yeah they have a beard black and white hat yeah black and white hat yeah yeah they could be also says it in the Torah could be part of our nation when hasm gave the blessing to AB know he says your your descendants can be either like the stars or the sand the stars is the potential the sand is the opposite the one in America says no no those are complete secular they're not even Jew they're not even I don't even know if they're Jewish even those people either way they're completely secular they're completely I'm not talking about some average guy I spoke to I'm talking about big big people big rabbis no those rabbis those those uh Dam you don't even you can't even say that they're religious why look what they're doing telling people it's no big deal to go against Hashem so people waste their entire life with this illusion now no one knows how long they have in this world they don't know if they have 30 years or they have 100 years they tell them okay they ask him okay did you conduct your business honestly no I didn't know I have to conduct my business honestly I thought that you could steal from all the GU as long as you don't steal from the from the Jews okay no that's wrong okay uh did you keep Shabbat did you keep do no no I didn't keep it why no I had to go to the beach I had to go to the casino I had to do this I had to do that only Mitzvah by mitvah it did feel in I thought that was enough well no no that's not that's not correct either and he keeps answering the wrong against who told you all of this oh my Rabbi my Rabbi told me this there's no end to the gome that this Rabbi is going to get into but unfortunately the guy that's up there also can't fix anything he's also in a problem because you're not allowed to be ignorant you're not allowed to just say no I didn't know why because you spent years and years studying for school to get a degree to be a doctor to be a lawyer to be an accountant to be something you spent years and years learning about the Pol political situation in America or in or in a Israel and understanding who's favorite who's not before you vote for for Bush for you vote for Trump for Obama for DH for all these people you studied your sports team you know everything about everybody up to the point that you know the salary cap of the team and how much everybody makes no I can't believe this coach is firing this guy the salary cap is going to go over that what hours and hours people spend on this you know what is nonsense okay you want to spend time on nonsense fine enjoy yourself you have 24 hours in a day you want to spend two three four five hours a day on nonsense fine have a good time but what about the stuff that's really important you show up there and you don't have any of it you can't use that as an excuse and the rabbi that misled you because this week's hasem says no discounts and I'll get you to the verse in a few minutes so in the beginning of this we learned different rules from the we just got the Ten Commandments last week now we're seeing how Hashem didn't really mean that there's only 10 mitv that we have to keep we're already learning that these 10 mitv break into 613 and part of them we're going to get during this week's par and obviously the rest we're going to get through the rest of the Tora the first thing the first subject that we get is they talk about Jewish slavery now we're not going to go over every single mitvah in this week's because that will probably take about 10 hours but we'll talk over a few of them that are generally controversial because that's usually the most uh interesting topics so when people want to go against the Torah they try to find arguments that don't don't make sense to them so someone I know a good friend of mine mayem help him do chuva amen one time he tells me you really believe in this Torah of yours said Yes sounds like a silly question yeah said yes he says yes so you tell me do you agree with slavery you agree with slavery I said based on the toah yes now how is it to us says that slavery is allowed when we were ourselves slaves in Egypt the reason why it says it is because the slavery that we're thinking of and the slavery that's in Tora two different types of slavery it's it's not the same and the second verse of this T says so talking about a Jewish slave work for you for six years and on the seventh year you shall Go free so first of all it's telling you that it cannot be a slave forever six years he could be a slave for you for six years on a 70 you have to release him later on it says that if this slave wants to stay he has the option he has the option to stay but he gets a punishment they make a uh take a um bore a hole in his ear which and the reason why is because this ear was supposed to hear the things that hasem said to us in Mountain saai Hashem said I am your only God you work for me you're my servants instead of being my servants to go do keep Shabbat kosher all those things you chose to be a servant of my servant because you can't do all of the mitv when you're a slave you have the same level of observance as a woman that is not obligated with all of the mitv like a man is because she has a high high responsibility of taking care of the house MH so when someone chooses makes a foolish decision of choosing to continue being a slave they punish him the court punishes him makes a hole in his ear to remind him that he's not listening to hem and what Hashem really wants him to do is to be a servant of Hashem not a servant of mankind but even then it's not forever it's until the next Jubilee year and then you have to be released there's no way stay 54 years no it's 15 years 15 years from the time it gets 15 years ju year the next year yeah but he already stayed there for seven years okay if he decides after seven years to stay so he has to stay for another seven they Max bur year maximum sentence so or 14 yeah the 15th year the 15th year so that's after 14 years the 15th year so maximum is the 15th year you're leaving one way you can't be a slave forever one way or even if you're crazy and foolish and so on you still can't stay sleep forever but the qu it still doesn't answer our question how could a to toally Divine full of love also judgment but love too even the judgment is from love how could it say that slavery is allowed that's when we have to look at the to understand it's and it's even in amen amen who becomes see you got you got you got a thousand right there so who becomes a slave a couple of options someone who stole someone who stole money and he got caught but he doesn't have the money anymore and there's no way of returning it the only way of returning it is by selling himself as a slave excuse me no choice or someone that's in dear poverty and no has no other way to make a living and offer himself as a slave he offer himself as a slave to survive this is not the same type of slavery that we know of so now let's compare someone that's a thief that's really what they're talking about here someone that's that stole and got caught instead of going to jail he became a slave in today's world someone that's a thief goes to jail I actually saw this on a post by a a very good organization that's kir h h a i s h h and uh someone goes to jail and uh he's a thief stole I don't know some uh robbed a uh local grocery store they sent him to jail for 6 years right who's in jail yeah the murderer the thief the bigger thief the one that robbed banks mhm the guy that's a con artist all the you know worst people on Earth are also there with him so after 16 years after 6 years he's in there he leaves but he has new skills now no one's going to want to hire him because he went to jail for six years he's got a right so he has what options he have to go back to what he did before but he says wait a minute why should I just go rob a local grocery store I learned from the banker the the guy that bank I learned from the best I learned from the guy from that robbed all the investors I learned the guy the guy robbed the bank I learned the guy learned from the guy that murdered people in case anybody got smart with me I learned from the con artist to even get in and maybe become an employee and do all so he became a much bigger much bigger criminal based on the Judgment that we have in this world today that's against the Torah so what does Torah says sending him to jail to go learn more crime is not going to help society and it's not going to help his life what do we have to do we have to help him get back on his feet yes he stole money yes he made a mistake but we're going to make him do Chua so first of all it's a mitvah to take this person in why because you have to treat him really well if you eat a certain food you have to give him the same food if there's only one pillow in the house you have to give it to him your bed has to be just as comfortable as his can't have a better bed than his that's what they said someone that gets himself a slave in Judaism is like someone got thems a boss it's not slavery like we think like what they did m to the black people or what they did to or many other people throughout the world even to this day it's not the same type of this is divine slavery this is what Hashem says no and if you hurt this slave you hurt the slave he leaves ask a question pring to today's terms uh-huh somebody gets a lady a living in their house uh-huh does it pertain to the same rules no it's not she's not a slave you're paying her so she doesn't have she's an employee she's an employee she's an employee she's just she's cleaning your house she's uh uh watching the kids you're paying her a slave doesn't get paid so you're not really violating anything by giving her lesser of a bed than yours or no she's not a slave a slave doesn't get paid a slave you bought you own him or her you own them for six years they do you know without payment only when they leave once they leave on the on the seventh year they leave you can't just let them go okay you six years you work you have nothing on the seventh year you have to give them gifts they can't just walk away with nothing M go back to the streets maybe become a bank robber no that's today in t if to leave let them leave with gifts and honor that's the sleeve in the tah you understand so so what happens when people say no what you believe in this Tora like my friend said you believe in this to it says slavery what happens lack of lack of knowledge when someone doesn't know it's easy to look at a to in a negative way but when you look at the inside details you see how beautiful it is what's going to happen to this guy this guy's going to be a slave for six years but he's got good treatment has a nice bed he has a uh he didn't have anything he was broke or he was a thief nobody wanted to give him a job 6 years he learns from a sadik how to do chuva 6 years he's doing things to build himself back up and when he leaves he's going to leave with something he's building himself back up in society that's the difference that's actually why they even had the second rule of saying that if this what if this guy doesn't want to leave what slave do you know in history didn't want to leave why would anybody even have a rule like that don't leave it's like somebody says no what if the guy doesn't want to leave jail even though some people are crazy enough and they don't they can't uh fit in public Society they still tried everyone wants to leave here he's saying no no in case he doesn't want to leave why would I why would they even have a rule in the Torah of somebody that wouldn't want to leave someone because it it happened anything that's written to it's because it happened get Tre it like that they got a good uh good situation in there moving on to some of the other rules in the El elzar is one of the uh most righteous person people that ever lived I'm saying of course he was is one of the most righteous people that ever lived I believe he's one of the 10 people that went to Alive like he didn't die he didn't die he went to another one is and another one is actually uh umu which actually reminds meak that so now is one of 10 people that got to such a high level it talk about in the he didn't die natural death he went to like this why how could he do that body Soul someone that can sanctify his body to such a high level could literally get to a point where the body and the soul the same thing obviously this is very rare he's one of 10 people throughout the billions and billions of people that have ever lived in history so one day says in a uh I'm walking in a street he says and I seei is also one of the 10 people turned into an angel and I see comes to me Andi says to me do you want me to take you on a tour to show you what happens in Gom and I said yes so he takes me to Gom there seven places in Gom we're not going to go over all the details we've said some small part in the past why are we connecting it to this this I also heard from it's in this book if you ever want to learn about and get uh really really scared and develop some serious learn could get a free get free it's very difficult to get by the way actually this is a borrowed copy from uh from my friend uh my friend anyone has this book you know it's not my book so you can't say I'm aik I borrowed it from aik some people read this book high level Shilo Shilo is his son his son led to me Sheil son so he says it takes me to Gom to the tour and I see all of these Sinners all of these Wicked people all of them are hanging and they can't move and he tells different stories about each one but he says one of them I get to a level was a section of Thieves people that stole the people are stole are sitting there they tied up and these Wicked angels are taking beach sand beach sand you know beach sand beach sand turns into glass that's how you make glass beach sand and they're feeding them over and over again Force feeding them beach sand and all of their teeth are breaking and they're bleeding Non-Stop and they're trying to stop they're trying to move their head they don't want to eat this so they're saying Wicked all your life you were stealing and taking things that are not yours now that we're giving you things for free you don't want it said this this tells us a few things first of all stealing comes in many forms it's not just going to the store robbing the store it could also being being a work in business overcharging your customers when you know you shouldn't do it the guy made a mistake being uh selling him a lemon you know the car is garbage used car is garbage does it's going to break in a week but you're selling them like it's a brand new car or selling them you know being being an dishonest business person unfortunately this is a sin that's very common today and gazel is a very big problem why kazal says to us that gazel is the only thing that cannot be fixed in Gom you cannot complete the fixing of of gazel of of stealing in Gom why because there's three levels to the punishment of gazel someone steals $1,000 they think that they have more money and first punishment is in this world how hasem takes 2,000 from you sometime will pass a week a month a year five years at some point or another you're going to lose $2,000 you're going to think it's an accident you're going to think it's something else whe it's going to be a medical bill that you didn't expect car breaks down all of these things sometimes when you see people all of a sudden have all these unexpected bills and they go into financial hardship it's usually a sign that the money they made wasn't necessarily honest or sometimes just a test from Hashem but nonetheless if we're getting it ourselves really is what we should look at so that's the first one second one is what we just talked about what said that's the second punishment have to go up there and pay the bill the third need to come back you have to give back the money now you dead how you going to give back the money is still in this world you uh you stole from him $1,000 50 years ago you have to come back reincarnation that's a problem why CUA already is 70 years old you come back as a baby you can't give him back $1,000 you have to wait he has to die both of you have to come back now if someone keeps the entire Tor entire T but he's stole money stole money at some point he has to return to pay this money back they cannot allow him no someone that stole money will never be allowed into ganeden he could do he could become a big sadik stole money at the Gate of ganeden they said do not enter sorry you have a stain you have to fix you have to come back this is a problem so now what happens if someone stole from you someone borrowed money from you and didn't pay you back that's also stealing somebody somebody somebody somebody that borrowed money from somebody borrowed money from you borrowed $1,000 from you okay and he had the ability to pay you back he had the ability to pay you back but he chose not to pay you back you know one of these people that just doesn't doesn't care about anybody doesn't pay you back the money $1,000 $500,000 it's all the same the best thing that you can do he say forgive the money why because if you're doing CH you're doing you're going to get to a point where you earn yourself a nice Penthouse in geden you want to show up at geden you want to get in you say I'm sorry you you're okay but the other guy stole money from you the only way that he can fix himself is if he gives you the money back if you're here he can't give it back to you so you have to go back also what mhm so what do you say no but once you're already over there you can't say I can't do it so what do you say in this world someone stole money from you you say I forgive him let hem let hem take care of it why because once you forgive him you don't have to come back on he has a buil to pay yes okay so speaking of this I I land it wasn't it wasn't $1,000 it was 100 bucks and he says you can give it back to me and then he just recently called me a little bit ago and he says oh I didn't forget you but I'm going to give it back to you so he keeps on saying that buy more time so what should I say should I just forgive him and that's it you don't necessarily need to tell him that you forgive him you don't need to tell him that you for him not to him but to yourself you could say talk to Hashem say Hashem I don't uh you know I forgive him in case in case one of us a uh gets the Judgment day before the other I don't want the money from him if he gives me the money he gives me the money but I forgive him I don't want to come back here as a g you know I forgive him uh so you don't have to tell him that you don't have to tell the guy money that talk to talk to so the in that case the guy who took the money what happened to he still has to pay the bill the first two steps still continue two steps you would have to probably pay somebody else and somewhere or another have to pay somebody else to pay your debt to somebody else pay your kids maybe pay your descendants he still oh no he's he has serious problems now oh that's since we don't have that much time before the end we really can't depend on Gil we can't really depend on reincarnation so it's better to just not steal it's better not to steal okay so now so now this is again we understand that Ste is not a joke in a to it's a people think no it's this it's not it's not a big deal it is being an honest business person that's the first you know there's a few questions tell us it's the first few questions they're going to ask you in Judgment Day when you go up there after 120 and your full complete s um they're going to ask you did you conduct your business honestly it's the first thing why why are they asking you can you did you conduct your business honestly and not did you conduct your uh synagogue Affairs honestly the reason why this is actually also in this book over here Jewish wisdom business success very good book about business business I think it's maybe in the first few chapters but anyway it's also all over the and so on that's where they get it from why are they asking about business honesty instead of synagogue honesty because synagogue everyone can pretend they're sadik you wouldn't know in the morning in everyone that puts their talit on top of their head they look like they're mosu is minimum everybody's a little minu all the great wow everybody praying with the sway okay he's talking to somebody in the middle while he's swaying but doesn't matter he looks like a sadik anyway right can you tell somebody's not no can't unless he's an outright r that just there to joke around and talks during the but generally you can tell it's very easy to hide with you could look like you care and you go on the board of directors or you become a treasurer of the Beet why because you're stealing money you're given the contract of theet coincidentally to you you or your friends this happens a lot by the way happens in churches has the besset the the uh theft in religious organizations has has happened since the beginning of time no one actually cares about the organization that much they really want to be there okay because there's benefits talking about the big organization small local B that has $5,000 budget who cares no one you know that's because usually people care about about the organization want to build it usually the big organizations there's money involved one way or another anyway be you can identify who's righteous who's not business you can why because the way someone conducts their business is going to always show their true colors if that person has a lot of people that hate him has to be something wrong that's a bad s if his customers all hate him has a bad rep constantly if it's oh listen there's always you do enough business you're going to have lawsuits you're going to have problems the more business you do the more problems you're going to have or constantly changes the names of the business yeah listen whatever it is whe it's sometimes they change it for organizational reasons sometimes they change it because of other reasons point is if that there's a lot of unhappy people around them unhappy vendors unhappy customers unhappy lawsuits that's not good it's not a good sign to say the least but if you do a lot of business which in the past we had a lot of experience of doing business I can tell you that I never stole a penny in my life but if you look at my record for example I have a couple people that sued me I have a couple people that sued me now obviously if you see the outcome of the lawsuit you see that obviously that lawsuit was complete garbage they just wanted to sue me because I had a lot of money and they wanted it but the point is if you the more business you do you're going to have lawsuits doesn't mean just because someone got suit doesn't mean they rash mm just because someone didn't get sued doesn't mean they're a sadik either but the point is that you could identify who someone is based more on their business Affairs that based on their religious Affairs as far as how they act in front of people what about a employer of somebody that basically doesn't conduct his business right someone that has employees has to conduct their business right they have to pay on time no no I mean forget about the way he conducts his business with employees the way he treats his customers as as or his po get affected by his dishonesty should they work for somebody like that no no it's actually this is actually in this in this week's we'll get to it it says it says from lies you have to distance yourself away from which by the way out of all of the sins that we have all of the we have in the Tor which is lies is the only thing that Hashem specifically says not only not to do it but to distance yourself from it why why do you mean distance yourself from it he says lies I hate liars so much hasem is telling us this I hate liars so much I don't even want you to be next to them or anything that has to do with lies keep your distance from them why because it could only lead to bad so a business person that's un dishonest you know he sells garbage to the public as if it's brand new mhm you know he sells garbage to the public as if it's uh you know you know good stuff from now you're not allowed to associate with a person like that at all you have to be complete other than trying to make help him do CH you have nothing to do with this person you cannot have anything to do with this person it's a uh you have to stay away from it in a in a very very big way um the uh let me see also says it says in uh chapter 23 verse 6 and 7 do not pervert the Judgment oh no I'm sorry uh verse seven distance yourself 237 sh distance yourself from a false word from lies do not execute the innocent or the righteous for I shall not exonerate the wicked now this is a few things we have to learn from here first and foremost is we're not allowed to be next to Liars or associate ourselves with liars and second of all is for anyone out there that thinks that you know what Hashem loves everyone all Jews have a share to the world to come all of that stuff this verse should answer that question and that that misconception that people have when it says there's no such thing as a rash in ganeden no such thing I will never make the rash into you know benefit like the the righteous so this is outright verse this is not my interpretation this is what it says after this it says it says do not accept the bribe for the bribe will blind those who see and corrupt words that are just someone that we're just talking about someone that's in a position of power has the ability to rule favorably for his friend not allowed even even just remember this even if let's say someone's a judge and there's one guy that's rich and one guy that's poor now it's obvious the rich guy is really right no he didn't violate the poor guy is wrong but he says listen this rich guy has so much money what's the big deal if I give this poor guy a million dollars he's not going to feel it he has a billion dollars so I give this little poor guy a new life I give him a lot of ticket no not not allowed why because you are changing the Torah judging changing the Tora you're taking aem's decisions into your hands hasem wanted them to be poor let them be poorm wanted to be rich he's going to be rich hm decides not you next thing is okay it says also about the uh says a few other things a second find it okay we talking about the ax in a second the ax oh it's over here it's over here so now when someone has a situation that they have have a uh an animal they have an animal they have any type of property they have a dog they have a ax they have a uh machine MH they can't just act like a uh freely and whatever happens happens and you know everybody has to suffer the consequences of their own uh you know irresponsive ability so here it says that if someone has an ax and the ax kill somebody now if this ax never killed anybody before and he's not known to be a killer then the person that's uh as the owner of the Y has to pay for part of the expenses if he injured somebody or even if he injured another ax he has to pay for half the expenses for the first three violations first three times that he does it this ax does it or this dog does something he has to pay for the medical expenses he has to pay for the loss of time loss of work mhm and also the humiliation so from here by the way we learned that uh the the law in uh in uh courts today when they make judgments a big part of rewards today when someone wins a case whether it's a criminal case or a civil case a big part of the reward usually is called punitive damages so there's let's say for example someone made another business lose money mhm false advertisement stole product for them stole a pantent whatever whatever it is is and the company sued them so part of the reward that the company that that lost money out of this whole deal is going to win part of the money they're going to Lo they're going to get is from the actual damages themselves they lost uh you know employees they lost product they lost customers and so on but a larger part is is called punitive damages uh and the punitive damages also comes from the the form of humiliation you know cuz humiliation you can't really put a a value on it so how do you explain it in a nice way and in a way that you could understand now let's say there is a very famous newscaster or and someone maliciously goes against this person MH and destroys his reputation now if he destroys his reputation versus he destroys the reputation of the local plumber local plumber it's two different reputations the Plummer he was making 60 70 80,000 a year doing Plumbing work and most in most cases even after he lost his reputation if he goes somewhere else he could probably rebuild again over time but this newscaster that's making 15 20 million a year his reputation is everything and most likely he'll never be able to get a job again so that's called punitive damages so when it comes to punitive damages you can see it it's from this week's par anything that's any good in the world we always say it comes from the Torah so now if somebody had an ax that injured someone first three times they have to pay half the damages after that after the ax has been known already to be a dangerous animal after not only does the ox have to die but there's a death penalty on the person a Heavenly death penalty on the person why because you knew that your animal or your your equipment or your dog or whatever it was was a psychopath mhm when you know that your animal is dangerous and has a dangerous not only dangerous reputation like for example how is this relevant to our generation people that have pit bulls or dogs in general they train them okay so you see most common dog attacks that we see today is usually from this breed Pitbulls now generally the Pitbull is a great animal a very very smart dog and it's humans that ruin them they're not natural Killers like people think that don't have pitbulls uh they're uh they're great dogs they're very smart and they're very very protective of their owners and family they're very very friendly but because they're agile and strong animals crazy people that are vicious train them to fight each other and and pretty much train them to become vicious animals because they want to win money everything is usually some has some sort of connection to money unfortunately so the animal is trained to become vicious why because he has to be vicious in order to kill something else or if someone trains a guard dog someone wants I don't know he has a how he wants a dog to guard his house a guard dog has to be an aggressive animal you can't have a little uh animal that never barks be your guard dog someone comes to my house you it could be the biggest criminal in the world Shalom comes to some house you have a dog that sleeps all day he's not going to do anything you guys have seen my dog I mean if he gets up to go eat it's a miracle already a little mtis won't do anything no it doesn't matter the size of the dog an aggressive dog is an aggressive dog not allowed to have an aggressive dog if he's bigger obviously he's aggressive and dangerous if he's small and aggressive then he's not dangerous he's just aggressive but you not let to have aggressive dogs an aggressive animal so now if you train your dog to be a vicious animal and he obviously has the ability to inflict pain on somebody else then you are at fault not the dog the dog is Dog he's a dog if he was in the wild he wouldn't be like this if you went to a different normal owner but someone has a brain and doesn't want their dog to be an aggressive uh dog then the dog will be fine so if you know that this dog is aggressive and one day Shalom the dog attacks some little baby or some kid or some woman or some friend that you have and bites their face off or their ear off it's your fault it's not the dog's fault first of all the dog has to die anyway because why because a human even if it's a or anything else even if it's a terrorist that didn't come to attack he's just a bad person okay it's a bad example terrorist because technically terrorist helps you you know you have to kill them but anyway as far as if it's a wicked person goes against hasem but the dog attacks him you have to kill the dog there's no second chance no no maybe next time you won't kill no if same thing with the ax is telling you the animal has to die but if the animal was known to be aggressive and the owner ignored it the owner ignored it the owner has a penalty from sham they don't kill him in in real life like here but he has a death penalty in sham which means that he's buying every day is a miracle why because he caused death cuz he should have when you know that you have an aggressive animal you have to watch it much more than a non-aggressive anim animal killed huh if the animal killed if the animal killed yes if the animal didn't kill but if the animal didn't kill if the animal didn't kill but it hurt somebody else then the you have to pay for the damages obviously the animal has to be uh put away that's happen with nebor but uh not uh you don't there's no death penalty on the person so now in this section one of the things that makes me think about also is that this is another part that has a very very uh misunderstood term it's misunderstood by a lot of people it says in uh verse 21 um 23 this is 23 uh 23 23 actually mhm but if they were was if there shall be a fatality someone died then you shall award life for a life someone died as a result of your actions you have to pay with your life you killed somebody there's a death penalty but then after that it continues an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth a hand for a hand a foot for a foot a burn for a burn a wound for a wound a bruise for a bruise so what somebody that got into a fight with somebody else and punched him in the face and his ey fell out so why he has to go to bed of rabal bed and take his eye out I'm sorry I was reading something the question for someone punched somebody they got into a fight okay and the guy punched him in the face and his eye came out lost his eye shom right now over here it says it says I for an i so why he has to go to bed and say oh yeah you took his eye out so we have to take your eye out even better question question second question is what if he only has one eye so if you take his one eye technically yes he he made the other guy lose an eye but he still has one eye left but the guy that took the eye out he has one eye so if he take his eye out he has no vision so it's technically it's not fair don't take his but it says that it says I for an i and if you ask every common ignorant person they say that I for an i means you you ask the Arabs they tell you no you take an eye we take an eye you take an arm we take an arm take a tooth we take a tooth but it's not what that means on it's different it's the value you have to pay monetary value good so I got you back into this good so that's so that's what it actually means when it says I for an i tooth for tooth hand for hand and ET ET is that it has to be the monetary value of the eye monetary value of the tooth monetary value of the hand and so on now it gives a lot of details Why didn't it just say I for an ey and that's it why does it say tooth for tooth hand for hand foot for foot burn for burn wound for wound bruise for a bruise a lot of details over and over it's the same thing if it's all money the same thing what's the why do you keep repeating the same thing different value first of all yes obviously there's a different value for the eye than there is for a bruise there's different value for the eye than for a foot but there's also different value of an eye and a foot to different people mhm now if let's say for example one guy is a plumber and he loses his uh hand or one guy is a surgeon and he loses his hand that's different value than someone that's a mailman that loses his hand he still he doesn't need two hands to deliver the male but the guy that's a plumber needs two hands the guy that's a surgeon needs two hands or a guy that's a pilot loses an eye it's very different than a guy's journalist journalist can still read with one eye the pilot can't fly with one eye so the value of the Pilot's eye is very different than the value of the uh journalist and so on so each one of these things has a different value to different people and that's where it comes in as far as punitive damages punitive damages when it's telling you about punitive damages here it's telling that's the punitive damage that's the added damage of the basic cost or value for an eye one eye is worth a million this ey is worth a million dollar both eyes are worth a million dollar right the plumber and the uh what's called the journalist have uh you know a value for a certain body part but the punitive damage is is that if the plumber loses his hand it's much more significant than if the journalist loses his hand so that's the added damage on top of it that you have to pay hopefully you guys never ever get to learn about these punative damages other than not to win or to lose it's not worth the headache but nonetheless is a we see that the Torah has all of the Jew the the laws of today have some type of source uh from the T now even more so you see how fair the toah is if if someone has it says here B if someone has a uh makes a hole makes a hole in the ground and walks away or someone just sees a hole in the ground he doesn't cover it walks away and somebody else is he walks with his animal and they fall in the hole they get a they get it to and the animal dies the person that's last there that saw that there's a hole has to pay for it why you're not allow to to to uh just aay uh leave a dangerous condition openly you knew there's a holder you knew that it's a very dangerous spot put a sign put something you have to be conscience of the of the of the public yeah you have to do something call call somebody you have to do something about it you can't just you know put leave a dangerous condition that you know for sure that somebody could miss it because they're talking on their cell phone and they fall in the hole die your respon a Jew is responsible not just for their own life responsible for everything around them you think that something like that apply St today of course it does apply New York of course it does someone someone that has for example a he's doing remodeling on his house you listening someone is doing remodeling let's say it's applies to your business okay someone is doing remodeling on his house and obviously the remodeling takes time okay and when you do Remodeling on a on a house usually there's dangerous places there's a hole in the middle of the house and so on but if let's say they're doing remodeling on the outside and then you know part of the remodeling there's literally a hole in the ground you're not allowed to just leave the hole exposed not just because of the law of the land not allowed because of you know government law but you're not allowed based on tah why you putting people in danger you have to cover it you have to you know you have to make sure that people are not uh at risk of falling in there but today that's why you put a sign of no trans no trespassing so you're actually warning them not to come onto the property you have to do as much as possible to not but but that's that's pertaining to you I'm talking about you're walking down the street I see your neighbor has a hole that he dug up tomorrow he wants to put something in that hole it's there I'm just going to go close this hole it's in a public land or it's in his land it's in his property if it's in his property nobody's going to walk on his property if it's like saying right next to his front door it's his his house it's public you have to do something but it doesn't specify whether it's public or no no it says it says if it's public property you have to say something people have access to you in the r you see in the middle of the street there is a hole you have to do something about it canot you cannot you dig a lot of holes so make sure you leave a red Coes you see a hole you continue so he was the the last why this this also by the way doing these things is Kem you you when you bring attention to things like this you're saving people's lives you're sanctifying hashem's name it's not really that big of a deal um to get such aah so in chapter 22 which by the way just so you know the the whole concept of chapters in the tah is not a Jewish design it's actually a Christian design it was Italian uh printers Jewish uh that uh added chapters to the tah meaning the whole the Torah doesn't have chapters but they wanted to make it more readable by their people so they added chapters to break it up sometimes you see that things don't necessarily fit well anyway the uh in Judaism if somebody here in chapter 22 it says if a thief if the thief is discovered while tunneling in and he struck and dies there is no blood guilt on this account 221 someone tries to to Rob somebody's house and uh they're trying to get in you killed them it's not a sin trying to rob you cuz you're protecting yourself and your family right but then there's a contradiction verse two says if the sun Shone upon him there is blood glit up blood guilt on his account if the sun shown on him so I'll read it in Hebrew I'm sorry yeah okay explanation translation someone tries to rob a house you are allowed to kill him why because as soon as he decided to rob the house if it's a you know he's hiding it's the middle of the night he's also in the back of his mind realizing that there is a chance that someone may be there and if there someone that's may be there then you know some something can happen happening he's probably willing to kill you so there's a law in the Tor it says if someone comes to kill you huh if someone comes to kill you act first and kill him first someone so when someone is coming to rob a house in essence they know in the back of their mind there's a chance they're going to kill you so you know it also you don't know who this person is you're allowed to kill him there's no blood on your hands it's not a considered a sin you're protecting yourself you're actually doing a mitvah of killing somebody before they kill you if they coming to kill you but now there's a problem here's a contradiction it says that if the sun Shone on him there is blood on your account meaning that if he did it during the day so he didn't expect you to there there is a uh you're not allowed to kill him but what do you mean so if a guy comes to you with a into your house with Uzi and you can shoot him first you cannot to kill him they can't mean that there's a mistake right there's no mistake in the so what does it mean in uh deep deep details okay details details the Ranos and the ramban explain it and they say is that when when it says the the sun shown on him it means that the light shown on him but not just a physical light it could be at night also the sun only brings good to the world he gets to see meaning that it's someone good someone that you know for a fact will never kill you how so let's say someone's father wants to you know is in a bad situation is going to rob him you know the father's not going to kill a son so you're not have to kill him or Kor is robbing his father you know the kid's not going to kill his own father it's very rare I mean other than the Psychopaths we have living in this generation in general it's not gonna happen pretend or he's robbing in plain in in plain daylight and there's a lot of witnesses there W everybody sees him he's robbing the guy in front of everyone there's a lot of witnesses you're not allowed to kill him why because you know he's going to get caught shortly after now let to kill him so that's what it means on one end when is he's coming to kill you then you're allowed on another end if if it's an obvious situation where he's not going to kill you he maybe he's going to rob you in open and but he's not going to kill you in the open then you're not allow to kill him so if the th already done stealing and he's on the way out so basically he didn't kill you basically you steal at night you get you have a chance you're taking a chance you're going to die you steal in the daytime you know you're not going to die but you're taking a chance you're going to no no no if you're still in a daytime but you come with an Uzi then you still still allowed to kill you to still allowed to kill you it's about it's about the danger the sun the sun sh shining on him doesn't necessarily mean daylight or nighttime it means the level of danger mean the sunlight means whether he's a person that's obviously has a possibility of killing you or obviously not if it's someone's brother or parent where they have a normal relationship it's just that one of them is really greedy then they uh you know you don't kill them but if it's someone that's a uh you know I don't know mass murderer and it's even coming in at night day doesn't make a difference the stranger that you don't know he comes in whether stranger stranger you have no he's a corrector yeah when he's a stranger you have no reason to believe that he's not there to kill you so so what's the what's the punishment here as far as the uh someone catches a thief they have to pay double if someone gets caught and they stole something they have to pay double now in those days you know they stole $1,000 they have to pay $2,000 now in most cases you see that people that are involved with stealing or illegal money or even money that's not ethical usually they don't have any money one good example of it in this in in our world today is gamblers about uh a little over 10 years ago early maybe I think it was even 2002 2003 the uh game of Texas holdom became very very popular in uh around the world in the United States and even though it's already been a game that's been played for for a long time but it became much much more popular over the last decade or so when on TV and so on so now every uh every 20-year-old without Direction and his life becomes a gambler and goes to these casinos and finds a way to win and some of them are you know professional gamblers and they make a lot of money and so on but I can tell you from my own personal experience where I played some poker in my life it's the one common the denominator of of of that gamblers have in general one common denominator that they all have is they never have any money all the money is usually on the table why because maybe they win playing poker but they lose everywhere else they lose on drugs they lose on uh girls they lose on uh gambling and other uh crazy things and youve seen guys that you know you know they won $5 million $2 million $3 million $10 million they have no money and all the all the PO poker poker players in general are like a band they all lend each other money they live off of credit their whole life I'm telling you guys that played uh you know play big big game and there's you know famous stories of some of the best gamblers in in in history how much of a disaster their life was so when uh you see money coming that way just the reason why I mention it is because in Judaism and to you're not allowed to gamble you're not allowed to go to the casino you're not allowed to gamble when you play when you play when you uh play against so someone says okay wait I'm not allowed to gamble against the casino fine cuz that's you know disrespecting money and so on there's a lot of sins with gambling it's also a bad place to be with all types of that you're not all to go inside the place even and and a lot of back play lot of there's a list there a whole Shield we can do about gambling but let's say you say listen what about if I just gamble with my with my friends a lo you know a uh a game with my friends I each guy puts a couple hundred dollar and we play Texas holdam 10 guys two grand whoever wins gets two grand or first place gets, 1500 Second Place gets 500 I'm telling you used to play poker in the highest level on my sins you used to $200 was not even a hand I'm talking about what you know tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands on table play in the World Series and so on so I've seen this garbage in my life I didn't know it wasn't allowed and so on but he he doesn't wait Still Still comes out of ignorance but let's say so that's okay obviously putting $200,000 on a table not allowed okay that you guys can understand right but what about $200 between friends what about $200 between friends G if you win you you beat your friend it's consider like you stole his money it's Gaz it's apply also in the casino exactly you go to casino you play Texas holdom but what if his money what if his friend says fair and square you know you won and he's who makes the rules the friend of God what then the friend feels okay he feels a little bit better because he said that so it's like okay okay he feels better but inside inside he should feel no one that ever lost money in history ever felt okay about it no one they could be a they could be a good loser meaning that they don't you know cause a scene and uh become like a little girl they suck inide you know but but they suffer inside everyone that lose money whether it's $5 or 500,000 it's everyone suffers some form of suffering from losing money right even if you lost money just going to the store no one likes to lose money even if someone's a billionaire and he knows he had $300 in his pocket he's a billionaire he knows he had $300 in his pocket all a sudden he goes in his pocket $300 is missing now $300 is not even one day of interest for this guy and he's not going to sleep but he's going to suffer inside for losing $300 he's not going to sleep that night yeah so now we have to understand that gambling is a form of gazel not allowed not allowed to not to go to those places not allow to gamble at all this is very very important to know because again what we don't think is a big deal well we don't think it's a big deal whatever it's a bun of friends $200 the guy's a millionaire what's $200 to him it's not about what's $200 to him it's about what hasem says AEM says it's not loud so this is very very important to know and uhm hopefully I bring enough people to do chuva in my life that I could pay for all the nonsense that I did in my life uh and I can tell you that it's a uh one thing I learned from those people cuz at one point I actually wanted to become a professional Gambler I wanted to leave the investment business and become profession profal Gambler was a you know had talent and uh and so on and um but then you see one thing that's again one thing I saw is number one they're all degenerates no one ever has any money and two it's disgusting lifestyle everybody is just uh you know what you see on TV is not real life like the stuff you guys if you ever saw those poker shows on TV that's not real life the way it looks like in real life it's much less glamorous much less glamorous Mo most people are degenerous they're wearing their same clothes for the last 3 four 5 days you know they they they don't even they barely even the only break they take from the table they barely go to the bathroom they don't know they don't know what day of the weak it is degenerous people become degenerous you become it's a crack you ever see a crackhead in your life that's what gamblers are it's the same level of disease addiction same same level of disease so stay away from gambling even for fun the only form of gambling you are allowed to do is buy one one not five one according to RAB Moshe Feinstein which one of the one lot ticket one which is the minimum allowed meaning meaning the lowest amount so if the lot ticket is $1 you're only allowed to spend $1 or if it's power it's $2 you're not allowed to buy A51 $20 ticket $1 okay that's the most you're allowed to do but not like one and then an hour later you're buying another one and then an hour later you're buying another one no because the way the game was going on so you're allowed to to spend why cuz dollar is is is not a meaningful amount of money it's not going to change your life um and it's in essence a uh permitted by the by the AL but that's a form of gambling the only form of gambling you are allowed to do but even that you can see how even the Restriction of what you're allowed gives you an idea of how bad the stuff that's not allowed to do so if you're only allowed to gamble $1 imagine what level of sin is to gamble a $100 let alone a th000 or 5,000 or so on so also you should know that uh the uh several parts of the Tor and and um uh it says that uh gambling leads to poverty either through action or through punishment so that's that's another thing that uh someone needs to understand okay we'll go try to brief through a few other rules here there's a lot more to cover but we'll try to you know bre through it try to do as much as possible go to chapter 22 verse um 177 someone is a sorcerer someone does magic why does it so he says say not it doesn't say that a sorcerer gets the death penalty says it's not even allowed to permit not even permitted to live there's no Chua for them someone plays with magic there's no Chua for them they have you have to kill them why because people that make magic where they don't tell you it's an illusion they don't tell you that it's fake it's just you know uh a trick when they tell you it's literally their power which in those days they had people like that uh they're in essence going they're trying to take control of Nature and telling people that they're greater than God the on the ones that play with the cards they uh they not allowed yeah not allowed to do that stuff now there where so now you see people in today's age in today's age that also have some Powers today not talking about just 2,000 years ago today's age some people have some powers where you could see that they do things that are not natural now if they obviously if they tell you it's an illusion then you know it's just a magic trick and it's a very fancy magic trick but some people actually have powers there's some stuff you could see on the internet some guy from Japan there's a uh few people in the state there's a few people in the world that actually have powers how do they get those Powers we're not going to really get too diff too too into it because they'll probably get you to lose some sleep but uh it's the power where they use uh shim they use demons they develop a relationship with the with the impurity of demons and the demons do their work MH so you have to stay away from people like that and from things like that you know getting someone to you know come to your little kid's birthday party and take a bunny out of a hat that's fine you know enjoy yourself as long as it's disclosed that it's just a magic trick that's fake but having someone that uses you know impure Powers uh and having them come to the birthday party is m a danger it's not not good uh next thing is anyone who lies with an animal anyone that lies with an animal shall surely be put to death someone that's now you guys think obviously you guys are all normal you're thinking why would anybody sleep with an animal why would anybody have you know intimate relationship with an animal a goat YouTube so unfortunately this goes on there's millions of people millions of people in today's age that are still sick people that have intimate relations with animals it's called bestiality it's a sickness it's disgusting and according to the Tora those people have to be put to death now there's a one example in one of RAB M's lectures he says this is very very interesting you know food for thought if a Torah says someone sleeps with an animal has to get the death penalty but not only does he get the death penalty but the animal also dies you have to kill the animal now obviously the guy who's sick in his head I could understand why you put him in you know get him out of his misery kill him I understand but why are you killing the animal what the animal do what the uh cow shook it behind say come get me what what what do the cow do because because hem sees that animal present so he doesn't want to he doesn't want to see Z soem says I created the Heaven and the Earth for this you know for my children for these Jews and one of I have to destroy one of my children for this filthy animal so every time I see it it reminds me of I lost one of my kids so this is this again this is something that uh we need to understand now why do I mention this particular example why do I mention the extremity of the punishment is because AEM Compares beastiality Compares sleeping with animals and the and the punishment and the that it is of being with an animal is the same thing is homosexuality same thing whether somebody's with an animal with the same sex is the same thing unfortunately at some point I'm sure all of us have known or know someone that has problems with that and it's a big test we've talked about it before they have to overcome that desire if they're not attracted to women if they're a man then don't be with anyone if the woman is not attracted to men don't be with anyone that's the solution you don't have to force yourself to be with a man if you're a woman and you don't have to force yourself to be with a woman if you're a man but you can stop yourself from being with the same sex why because the punishment according to to in his T is the same level as someone that was with an animal this is not politically correct people don't like to hear it but this is the truth moving on you see the special protection that Hashem has twice in this to converts oh this is for idol worship at first this is it says one who brings offering to the God shall be destroyed only to Hashem alone so it says that someone that say does AAR someone that does a is uh wiped from this world now if you notice we've talked about this before is that every time hasem talks about and the punishment for for for idol worship it's usually right next to or very close to shabbat the violation of Shabbat because just like beastality and homosexuality are the same according to hashem's judgment according to hashem's eyes idol worship and violation of Shabbat are the same thing if you want to look more into the details of this I had a whole lecture in New York uh talking about why hasem looks at Shabbat as idol worship but many times I've told you guys and this this para talks about Shabbat I told you I told you guys how the Tora over and over says how someone would say Shabbat is not considered Jewish so I have a couple of sources for anyone that wants to look So it's talking about this [Music] is translation someone that does a sin intentionally just to make Hashem angry even if it's only one even if it's only one thing just intentionally to make AEM or someone that is an idol worshipper or connected to an idol worshipper or someone that's violate Shabbat drives on Shabbat means in public you drive on Shabbat that's in public unless you're driving from your garage to your garage that's in the same house you're you're you drive a car anyone that thinks that driving a car in public going to the mall is not is living a dream an illusion someone a VI violator of Shabbat it's as if he violated the entire Torah this one sin one sin of violation of Shabbat is as if he violated all 6133 even if he keeps mitv or 612 really he keep 612 me it's not possible obviously for anybody to keep all those mitv because not all of them are relevant but it says he keeps all of the mitv except he drives on Shabbat he's still considered what's Idol worshiper Idol worshiper someone it says in a considered Idol worshipper this is this is not some uh book I wrote translation someone thatat is considered non-jewish in every possible way but not non-jewish where you can say listen my mom is Jewish my dad is Jewish but since I'm a viol of Shabbat then I'm not Jewish anymore so then I could just not keep the laws not Jews are not not they're not supposed to uh keep the Shabbat or anything else no it's not the same thing the person that was born non-jewish born in uh Africa Mexico and all these place not Jewish he's not Jewish by choice by not by his choice Shem created him that way but someone that chooses to violate the torat to classify himself as a it's not the same type of Gentile why because the person that's not Jewish the Gentile that's not obligated by the entire to he's obligated only thing he's obligated for is by the seven law Noah hide laws and all of the laws that are common sense so it's not really seven it's more than seven but it's all seven laws plus the laws that are common sense like respect your parents and so on a person that's Jewish that violates the law is not considered a non-jewish person when it says it's saying that he's a idol worshipper the Gentile that's keeping seven noahide laws he has a share of he goes to he has a share of world to come the guy that is a Shabbat that's Jewish he doesn't have a share to the world to come not only does he have no share to the world to come not only is he not considered a Jew in this world he's considered the idol worshipper and he has a gandom that never never ends ever another source is third one now we'll move on this is the book of he saysat someone violates Shabbat either to anger AEM or because he feels like it is because he feels like it he's hungry he wants to eat he has an appetite to violate Shabbat you are allowed to lend him money with interest which this says you're not allowed to lend money in interest it's a Biblical law of course right so it's a Biblical law in this week's pal which starts verse uh 2224 when you lend money to my people the poor person who is with you do not act toward him as a creditor do not lay interest upon him this is an outright verse it's a what's called it's interest you're not allowed to charge a fellow Jew interest this a Biblical law is plain as a get it's not a mid it's not a uh understanding this is a Biblical law is someone lends an interest has no share of the world to come mhm here the says not only you allowed to you lend this you're allowed to lend them with interest why because he's not considered part of this verse he's not considered IM he's not considered part of your nation why he's not considered part of your nation he's not considered Jewish not me you don't have to get mad at me anybody that's watching us but anybody watching it didn't do Chua yet it's not me saying it's thear seven places in all over the all over the all over everywhere it's everywhere not considered Jewish not my I didn't say it give me three sources this is just three I have maybe a thousand is considered the worst sinner because he's considered an idol worshiper so we need to understand that now as far as loans we're almost done we need to understand that when Hashem gives us money he's giving us money for us to use it for good causes not for us to go on lavish vacations and buy big houses and fancy cars and have five car garage while our friends and family are are suffering not allowed when you have money and you have the ability you don't even need to be a millionaire you have the ability to lend somebody money someone comes to you and they need money they need $1,000 they need $100,000 whatever they need you have the ability to give the money you need to know that here it says you are obligated to lend the money not that you should you're obligated you have to if you have the ability to lend somebody money somebody comes to you says listen I don't have money for the rent you are obligated to give him money as a form of but a higher level than it says save somebody's life somebody has a has a decree from sham death penalty they violated Shabbat they violated something hasem decided it's time for them to go that person last minute gives $5 to a homeless guy gives $5 to a local K guy learns Tor Shem says that will save his life for the moment but saves his life will save your life lending money is higher than they lending money to a Jew not lending money to the bank or buying bonds because you're lending money to the government bonds when you buy bonds the stocks there's bonds stocks is you're buying a piece of a company bonds is you're lending a company or or government money that's what it is a Jew comes to you that's in need you have the ability to lend the money you have to lend the money obviously this is a righteous a he's not considered if he's and all that you he doesn't have the same obligation you should anyway because in essence what's what's hasm telling you he's telling you here comes for me anyway he says the Torah scholar is the anyone that invest in him he's happy you shouldn't say that the the ETS is Happy the t is Happy the one that got the is happy not the investor is happy not the guy that got the loan is Happy it should be the guy that it should be the guy that got the loan that's Happy mhm not the guy the guy that got should be happy not the guy that invested or lend them the money no hasem says no when you give someone he's going to get the money one way or another why CU a opens his hands and he gives every little species what they need whether it's the ant the worm the hair on your head thead the r everyone gets the from sh one way or another they're going to get it when you give someone that's in need especially if that person is dealing with to you're the one that benefits he's going to get it anyway hasem is respon well you think you're AEM he's going to get the P anyway which in reality even though he owes you he should still be thankful in reality you're the only one that wins out of this he's going to get anyway if it's decreed in sham that he's going to get the only choice that's being made by you is whether you're going to be the vessel that hasem uses or not and that's why it says the investor is the one that's Happy gracious why because he's the one that benefited by getting the mitvah that's when he giv somebody that's dealing with t but what about someone that's dealing with loans someone that lends money says you're obligated to give money what about someone that's deal that's lending money how is he how is he happy when you're lending money listen to this Tom listen to this when you're lending money we just said AEM is responsible for all of P Hashem also put this person in a desperate need in a situation where he needs money hasem is still obligated to give this person P when you lend him money hasem says you're lending me money you're helping me do my job so you don't have to worry about charging him interest no interest needed I'll pay you the interest you don't have to worry about if he has to pay you back yeah he doesn't have to pay you back I'll pay you back if the benefit of giving Saka is Big let lending money to to a Jew in need is bigger we need to know that and not lending somebody money when they're a need and you have the ability when you have the ability to do it it's a serious problem how do you know how do you know what whether you have it or not no how do you know if the guy really needs it or not no he he come to you and ask you today a lot of people come to it doesn't matter everybody has their hand up it's not a question why do they why do somebody in need comes to you during prayer okay I don't believe that you were ever in need so to understand the mindset of someone that's in need that's in poverty requires you to do something that most people cannot do naturally which is called empathize you have to put yourself in their shoes one time there was a uh poor person that came to a um I believe it was r yashiv r yashiv and uh as for he gave him he said can you give me a little more again more give me a little more he give him more saw this said nerve of this guy give a dollar go away why you're getting it Shalom this is a Son of God one of the children of hem he's a king you can't see it but he's a king he knows that he's part of the children of hasm he's not going to be content for just one thing but the explanation other than that is that you have to understand when someone is in dire need the mentality and and and the bush that you already have to experience asking people for help is so devastating to get to a point of asking somebody for help asking somebody for a ride asking somebody for a few dollars to you could eat it's so devast so mentally and emotionally and spiritually devastating that your natural senses and recognition of what is normal gets thrown out because getting to a point where you are you have to eliminate your entire ego to go ask somebody for change forget about asking somebody for change in like a homeless personal talk about asking somebody for a loan to pay I don't know your mortgage or even less asking somebody for a ride to work before you ask somebody for a ride to work unless you're really really good friends you think about it twice why cuz you have Bu you're yeah ask N I don't want any favors from anybody right you don't want nobody I'll drive myself I'll take a cab no why call your friend he lives next door he's going to take you to work no no no I don't want I'll take a cab that's for a ride you're thinking twice so imagine a guy doesn't have any food to eat doesn't have any food to eat me skin he comes to you please give me a dollar give me $2 give me a quarter just so I can eat can pay my bills I can live a life like a normal person the devastation that that person is already dealing with first of all the most important thing we have to do is eliminate any from that person not not obligate him in anything when it comes to when they come how they come if they ask if they ask twice if they ask for more because we have to empathize and put ourselves in our shoes if we had kids at home little babies at home the heat just got turned off because we didn't pay the electric the little babies are starving the little babies are freezing no father in the world can see his kids in that situation and we have to go to the local synagogue ask for money so I could turn the alert Chic on would you would you think about how you're asking and when you're asking probably not why cuz the person that you're asking from he's busy with his life he just made a $10,000 deal he's thinking about the other deal he's thinking about this he's thinking about that he's thinking about all these things all you're thinking about my kids are starving I'm starving I haven't eaten in a few days one time a sadik which I forget his name I remember it this is no I'm thinking it and they think I me they will get more I there's anything they're just coming and they're not recognizing but it's the world around them it's the same thing all the time that's when they're there every day that's when they're there every day do not every person some people some people yes some people no honestly when it comes to people asking for money whenever they ask for it how they ask for it if they're this if they're that especially if they're Jewish we have to we have to empathize and do something thing I'll tell you guys two stories and then we'll finish so you understand how treat these people the same rash one time this book is fantastic you guys should really get it um I get the right rabbi's name I'm pretty sure it's RAB yes she almost certain one time a uh he was yet a very obviously very very busy Rabbi and uh the driver was outside his house waiting for him and uh right before he gets into the car waiting you know getting going to a very serious meeting homeless guy comes up to him and uh you know ask him for some money but starts talking to him and uh a poor person starts talking to him and the rabbi talks to him okay 1 minute two minutes you know we have to go if you ever been around a very big Rabbi they're not usually you know uh they don't have time they have to go they have to do things so the tamim are you know watching this you know one minute two minutes three minutes and they're trying to like get this guy to go already but they see the rabbi continuing to talk and then they're about trying to tell the guy that okay the rabbi has to go the Rabbi says no no no I'm talking here and he continues to talk to the guy after 10 minutes after 10 minutes the the rabbi excuses himself so had a nice conversation and they say goodbye so goes into the car and obviously they you know when you're next to aik one of the most important things that somebody needs to do in their life as part of their Torah learnings to connect themselves to a sadik see how they act so they asked the rabbi by what was that all about 10 minutes you spend you know you don't usually spend 10 minutes with even people that no learn from this part of my obligation of was listening to him and making him giving him the feeling that I believe everything he says is very important because the time I spent with him talking to him meant a lot more to him than the money I could ever give him and it's part of my obligation of giving somebody some money you gave some but talking to him giving him a sandwich spending your time with him making him feel important that's the real that's the that's going to be one of two things that's going to save us when the mashia comes when they say and are the two things they're going to save us when the mashia comes that's spend time with somebody they come they ask for something don't just tell here $20 go go go go go bring them in give him coffee talk to them treat them like a human being just because they don't have any money doesn't mean they're any less of a human being than you one of the big sages and then we'll finish it give you the last story and then you let you guys get some sleep unless you want to listen to some more but one of the sages went to one of the Rothchilds Rothchilds have a a big family but there's a lot of good stories and it was he needed to come up with money a lot of money to help these uh poor people Rabbi says I'm going going to go myself go collect the money now this was in the middle of winter freezing snow just like it it is right now in New York or what it was a a week ago M freezing he goes to his house he knocks on the door you know the servant comes out the butler comes out yes yes how can I help you I need to see the head of the house oh come in come in he goes no no no I'll stay here he stays outside I stay here this is his Rabbi this is a R's Rabbi mhm please please come in no no no I'm going stay here so the butler goes gets the balabit gets the rild and he comes out he says hey come in come in the rabbi immediately starts talk talking about what is going on these people are so poor they're outside they're suffering they're this they're this okay okay Rabbi come in come inside come in and he continues the rabbi ignores him continues talking about more so now both of them are outside door is open you know the F go outside it's freezing and he continues talking and talking and talking and talking 25 minutes he's talking to him and the door is open he's freezing so the r child says to him Rabbi whatever you want I'll give you the money just come inside he goes now I can come inside he goes inside and they sit down they get warm coffee heat up Rabbi has been outside for a long time and rild also for a long time after they warm up a little bit yes RAB I give you whatever you need but I have to ask you a question Rabbi says what why couldn't you tell me everything you told me inside and the and sadik says this I wanted you to feel the same way they feel because the only way that you could open your heart to someone is if you put yourself in a situation where you feel just like them when I told you the story if I would have told you inside about these little kids being outside in the cold you're in your big mansion you don't feel the cold but when you're outside even for 20 minutes and you know how cold it is then you feel that pain then your heart will acted this is our job in this world to bring light to the Nations the only way we could bring light to the Nations is number one following what the Torah says just like it says in verse 2313 be careful regarding everything I have said to you not something not just this first 30 mitv not uh just milk and meat in the house but Pizza outside from a place that sells kazil all of the MIT says call call call means everything there's no other translation be careful he says that is the way that we can become righteous ourself once we become righteous ourself then we're going to have the ability to empathize if we're able to empathize and put ourselves in other people's shoes it makes AEM closer to us because if we're worry enough about his mitv that's good but if we're not only worried about his mitv but we're also worrying and taking care of his children to take care of them give them lend them money help them do chv give them a disc bring them to a if we do that's why when hasm falls in love with us and that's when we can have a very very deep connection with him so through his T we could see his cre the Creator's creation and develop a very very deep relationship with him to the point we not only care so much about the relationship we have with him but also about the rest of his creations and bring light to the Nations our nation and the rest of the world any any questions amen
