also for sha Ben

and and a very very uh
special prayer for all of the supporters
of whether you are supporter by uh your
donations or your supporter by uh your
skills of uh making uh the posters and
the movies and the translations and the
sharing of the lectures or you're giving
out CDs or you're trying to get us
donors whatever you're doing for I just
want to let you know it's very special
thank you not just for me but from all
of
because it's working it's working
so as you guys hopefully start thinking
up of some questions give you guys a few
updates and maybe a little bit
of
uh
the
change the change that can happen in a
person's
life uh
uh can be so
sudden that his
past you know in one second it seems
like a uh it's you know he thinks that
it's never going to be over but uh
moments later the uh situation can
change so much thank you that it becomes
like a distant memory even though it's
only a few months ago a few years
ago and uh I remember
that uh maybe about four years
ago uh this uh guy in the Kaa that I was
in the
besset
um he uh came up to me and they uh said
uh you know we we just first starting
out I think on YouTube or something four
or five years ago whenever it was and uh
six years ago and um it's like oh want
to sayak I saw you had a sh on the
internet wow
amazing uh good
job what do you have it in your house in
my house he goes oh wow amazing I saw
you have you know 180
subscribers yeah almost uh one of theim
he was making fun of me a little bit you
know I smiled said thank you I didn't
know that I thought it was a compliment
but then I realize the slap in the
face thank you very much it's good for
my every time you know you know people
like to uh fight theit but not with with
a with facts what do they like to fight
the with with insults so every day
there's a few that make a very uh nice
comment on uh Facebook or YouTube or in
the email or something I have one guy
that already for the last couple of
years he sends me between 10 to 45
emails a
day full of curses and Promises of how
he's going to kill
me and he changes his name once on
sometimes it's it's it's Yos sometimes
it's Allah he changes his name and he
has and we've tried blocking him he has
I don't know probably a thousand email
addresses but that's what he does with
his day so every day you
know how are you good morning good
morning you don't read this email you
just delete but every day there's these
comments and people cursing and this and
that but there's uh for every insult you
have hundreds and hundreds of thank yous
you changed my life save my marriage
save this save that all types of credit
that people want to give
us but you know for me it doesn't bother
me but uh and it never did even in the
past you
know I was on Wall Street remember you
can't survive Wall Street if you have
thick thin skin but for some of the
people that help us or some of the
people that watch us that you know have
Cav for the Tora they get so upset when
they see somebody insulting oh what you
going to
do don't worry it's fine it's fine what
do you mean this guy he's a he's a me
the poor guy the poor guy is just doing
such stupid things and don't you have to
feel bad for him he just you know just
dug himself another few years and G home
what's the you on top of that you want
to punish him he's already punishing
himself for
what guy poor guy me skin he's a poor
poor little little person thinks that uh
this is going to be conducive to his
life F SC poor
person so you see you have all types of
messages
but also gives a uh lot of wonderful
messages and in the
uh last a uh six months or a year or
something like that the amount of people
that have been watching as
subscribing
donating uh you know uh sharing and all
of that stuff I mean it's grown in such
a such an amazing way that uh like I
told you guys the other day we're uh
right now at almost uh uh 5 million
minutes per month of people watching our
shim you're talking about 60 million
minutes a year just it's a million hours
now to give you a somewhat of a gauge of
what does that actually mean there's a
very big website
that uh Torah website that has somewhere
in a neighborhood of 8 to 900
speakers lot of speakers okay uh big
website popular website nice website
everything is good and they publicize
every year when they raise you know they
raise lots and lots of you know money
and for for for everything that they
doem and uh they publicized that part of
the reason why you should donate and
support them is because they get 7 and5
million hours a year of people watching
their
shim 7 and a half million hours now
that's fantastic that the 7 and a half
million hours of of sh we watch but it's
even more fantastic that ra and I have a
million versus and we're only two
people
so is simply fulfilling the verse that
at the end of times there's going to be
a hunger but not a hunger for food and
not a thirst for not a thirst for water
but rather thirst
for and no matter how many people try to
go against
it is publicizing it rapidly and I
wouldn't be surprised if it becomes 600
million uh within the uh immediate
future because a lot of
people are waking up and we're doing
every single thing possible to reach
them now if that's not enough good news
all of these that have taken it upon
themselves to publicize our sh but on
the field not just on the internet but
go out there in their communities and
give out CDs or give out these cards you
have good news too just uh two hours ago
two hours ago I'll read the text to you
I mean this is just this is literally
this stuff is happening it was happening
every day anyway but now it's just
happening all day
it's m unbelievable like every day I
want to dance but then I get some bad
news from somebody adop abducted some
child or something you know so it's like
you know gives you T and then he gives
you I love you you
know so so I got a text from what person
I've never heard in my life said hello I
randomly received a flyer under my door
from an unknown person inviting me to
watch your film which which which flyer
this flyer that I tell you guys is 10
cents 10 cents 10 cents you got this
flyer beautiful cool looking flyer has
the QR code on the back has the website
you uh use your phone camera to go on
there it goes directly to the film
that's an hour and a half film that has
changed countless lives we've already
passed a million
views so now it's not enough to just get
that we have to get flies we have to not
just stay on the internet wait for
people we got sikim going out they're
giving these flyers out you get small
investment hope you're going to save
somebody so look what happened so this
woman says I randomly got this flyer
inviting me to watch your film I'm
currently on the path to reconnecting
with my roots and exploring and learning
Judaism so this flyer came at a perfect
time what a real example
of your story is truly inspiring and I
enjoyed every minute of the
film a person was looking for a
and said oh you're looking for me I made
a promise 3,332 years ago Mount Si that
if you look for me you will find me but
only if you look for me with all of your
heart and all of your
soul now since a knows what's in our
heart and he knows what's in our mind he
knew this young lady was looking
for he says you're looking for me I'm
coming to your house I'm coming to your
house with the inspiring story it's
going to get you that's the truth that's
the truth and we're getting this every
day people are making small Investments
you just bought just so you understand
give you understanding now if all of you
are listen to all the and you fulfill
the and you keep Shabbat we're going to
talk about Shabbat a little bit today
and you're going to keep shabat you're G
to keep all the and you learn and you
learn you're not never going to waste
seed and you watch your eyes and you
have a good schom bite and you do
everything perfect you
get fantastic now guess
what this guy or this girl who who
whoever gave this flyer out just got
more than you for one flyer without
doing all of what you just said what did
he do he gave this flyer out this woman
is doing chuba he just got 310
worlds
310 asimon teaches us
the one that enables another person to
do
chv the one is bigger than the one that
actually does the mitvah
himself this why I tell you guys you
have to invest every bit of time money
energy everything you possibly can to
help other people do chuva of course
that also means you have to do Chua
yourself you have to fix yourself
because there's no way you're ever going
to have a merit to have a 10- Cent card
give you 310
worlds this whoever gave this card out
has a lot of merits before he got the
card why because there's a rule in the
Tor who brings the Merit to someone that
already has Merit and an obligation on
somebody that has an obligation meaning
if you already have merits Hashem says
I'm going to give you even more why cuz
you have the Merit it's like who do you
if you at a bank who do you want to lend
money to the billionaire or some Joe
Schmo that makes $5 an
hour of course you want to lend the
money to the billionaire why because you
know you can pay it back you don't want
to lend money to the $5 guy because even
though it may be a nice thing it's not
good for
business says I got a business to run if
you have Merit you yourself are doing
serious chuva I'm and you want to help
others do chuva I'm going to make you
successful
so a person Works 70 80 years to
keep this person one second here you go
put a flyer one of my in Canada he sent
me a short little video 30 second video
of him putting Scotch tape on it put it
on top of people's door one after
another toot toot toot what is he doing
hey you somebody looks at God this guy
has nothing to do with his life this guy
what is he doing what is he
doing another 310 another 310 why cuz
all you have to do you give out a th000
2,000 3,000 of these things how much is
going to take you a few hours a few days
whatever it takes you one person one
person one person bites one person does
it you got it now if it since it's so
easy a a smart person is not going to do
is just depend on oh I'm GNA give out a
thousand so hopefully one person does it
no what do a smart person do he
continues investing some people say no I
just I gave out a few hundred CDs so I'm
finished right
yeah I mean you can but if you were in
business and it took you five minutes to
make a billion dollars you stop working
no you continue working in fact you're
going to work overtime why I don't want
I want it all I want it all so that's
what these people are doing they're
going out there they're giving out these
cards and then there's a group of sikim
in California in New York a few other
places that are giving out the
CDs where a person is simply making an
investment in cuz he figures out he's
like listen I'm investing all this time
on on this world but what do I have for
the next World what do I have for the
next World this is what you have for the
next World so now if that's not enough
if that's not enough anyone that looks
at the comments one of my favorite
things to do is to look at the comments
of the sh you know sh night we have
people that watch live and you have the
comments so when I get home after
everything settles down I look at the
comments and everybody says hello from
Oregon hello from Utah hello from Dubai
Al from Japan all types of places around
the world people watching the sh
sometimes you have a missionary in there
trying to drive people crazy but overall
it's a lot of good things and of course
there has to be one Satan somewhere has
to be at least once per sh but I believe
it was a few days
ago a person shows up on there and he
says hi Rabbi if you remember me I used
to work for you on Wall Street
I used to work for you on Wall Street
and I remember all these things and now
I'm learning your sh and I'm
rediscovering my Judaism now I know he
thinks if I remember I remember
everything about him he didn't work for
me for long but I remember everything
about him especially that he had a very
very unique voice he had a very deep
voice and this person just comes up out
of nowhere and he's now doing he's
watching the sh so I respond said did
did you watch the movie no I didn't
watch the movie I said oh watch the
movie I respond you could see this live
you can see this on the comments watch
this movie he comes back the next day he
said wow I'm so inspired by the movie
and I remember these people that you're
talking about these fake rabbis that
would come to the office all the time
and never helped any of us do anything
now I'm doing
something now this guy you have no idea
what's going on here this guy what is he
he's a product of inter marriage God
bless him it's a product of inter
marriage Jewish mother non-jewish father
but what is he doing now he's doing chva
why cuz somebody toiled to make a movie
and somebody toiled to to to edit it and
somebody toiled to Market it and
somebody toiled to share it I don't know
which copy of the of this or that or how
he got to the first like I have no idea
all I know is that says wait you look
for me right here I'm right here you're
looking for me I'm right here all you
got to do is look for me with all of
your heart and all of your soul now
imagine the amount of merits of the
people involved in every aspect it's not
just one guy gets a mar every single
person that had anything to do with her
Chua with his Chua with everybody else
every single person gets it another
woman sends me a thing she had God bless
her I've been trying to help them with a
lot of different things and it got to
the issue of
kids and she has been telling me for
some time that uh one of of the problems
that they're having in the household is
that
uh their kid one of their their boy who
I believe is 9 years
old is a very difficult kid very
difficult kid causes a lot of trouble
this that the other thing all types of
things you know kids sometimes are
difficult so he says what should we do
we did all the other things all the
other advice you gave us is working what
do we do with the kid so 100% has
nothing to do with me I send her a
message tell her do these following
things she sends me a message this
morning said we've been doing everything
you said for the last 3 days I just get
a letter from the teacher he says it's a
different kid your kid's the best kid
he's amazing this now this same teacher
the same
Rabbi was telling the mother you have to
put your kid on on
riddlin you have to send him to some
special school we can't have it in the
school a week ago he was telling them
you can't take it this skin now he's the
best class how long 3 days now this is
like disclosure part not all things are
the same result 3 days sometimes takes
longer but the point is you see
that is so kind to us that anyone that
wants to Emit and grabs it with both of
their
hands hasem says you want me you got me
you want me you got me it's easy it's
easy business now how come so many
people haven't trouble with their own
chuv and so
on one of the primary reasons is because
of our own
sins now there are certain things that
are uh sins that you have to work on
throughout your whole life which is
character traits and things of that
nature if you're an angry or you're
stingy or you're arrogant or whatever it
is these are character traits that take
time to develop but there are certain
things that are simply Choice you're
either going to choose to keep Shabbat
or not choose Shabbat you're either
going to eat kosher or not eat kosher
this is not a character trait this is
not anything this is you're either going
to do it or not you're either going to
go to work or you're not going to go to
work you're either going to be a one of
these hoodlums breaking stuff and
destroying people's livelihood or you
going to be at home trying to do
something good with your life it's it's
a simple Choice it has nothing to do
with character traits so when it comes
to certain sins as we've talked about
many times there are certain sins that
takes time to fix because it's a
character trait issue but there are
certain things that hasem says no time
you have to fix it right away what are
those the sins the sins that they're so
awful and they're so horrible you cannot
even afford to do it once now of course
you may not be able to fix it overnight
but never for a second think that it's
okay that you're making these sents
whether it's wasting seed or Shabbat or
you have a girlfriend that you're
intimate with without marriage or you're
with a non-jewish person and you're
Jewish all of these things that
are these things you cannot afford to do
them why because every time a person
makes a sin not just a sin one time and
he's finished every time so let's say he
is with a woman that's not Jewish or
he's with his wife but she doesn't go to
the mik or he's just not married so he's
with his he called a boyfriend
girlfriend and but they're acting like
husband wife every single time they
touch each other they are cutting their
connection to hasem there's a spiritual
cord a spiritual pipe connected from
their all the way
to one shot one shot they're cutting it
off over and over again but that may not
be enough graphic enough for you guys to
understand so just think about it this
way remember I just said three the guy
the
sadik whoever gave this just got 310
worlds with no end to the amount of good
that he's going to get because you're
you're sadik you're going to work 70
years to get one
world 310 times that if you're a sadik
your whole life you can just imagine
what kind of Heaven you're G to get to
have 310 of that what you gonna get now
imagine that's fantastic
right is the exact
opposite it's that bad it's that bad
it's a
nightmare so you can't afford to make
those sins now when a person makes those
sins Hashem has to give him also a
physical reaction what is that physical
reaction he becomes satum he becomes
closed to the EM very difficult for him
or for her to accept the or even listen
to it that's why sometimes you'll
see if you pay attention that the people
that make the comments that are against
the EMT they don't even listen to it
like it's not like they reviewed the
entire video against the uh child
molesting supporter manage fredman and
and then commented what do they do they
comment based on the
title you have a 40 minute video on top
of four other videos for another hour
and a half they don't even watch half of
it they don't even watch 10% of it they
decide oh that's that I hate you're the
worst you're the
best vomit comes out of them why cuz
they're so allergic to the Adit from all
of their sins from listening to
this that they they don't can't even
tolerate
it and even if you get that met to them
they just reject it doesn't make any
sense to them in their head and it's
unfortunately very
common how do you fix it just like you
have to fix it when somebody you give
them antibiotics
and it's not enough what do you do you
have to increase the dosage if 250
milligrams of amoxicilin is not enough
you go to 500 milligrams if 500
milligrams is not enough you go to a
th000 if a th000 is not enough you go
to, 1500 or even 2,000 depending on how
sick you
are now surely 2,000 milligrams of a
moxilin is nothing like 250 it's a world
of difference what does that mean in
Practical terms for us that a person
that wants to save their n from being
from continuing to be satum close to the
has to listen to it even
more has to do it even go and dig deep
down even more so to remove all of this
CIP
the Shalom said people make sins and
they become simply numb to their sins
they don't realize there's anything
wrong with them
anymore so a person has to do a lot of
produce a lot of Kusa to remove this
kipa that he put on himself and that's
one reason that a uh
person can uh can really cause
themselves a lot of uh damage a lot of
damage of simply not accepting the uh
the the
emit now the other aspect of it is that
sometimes people are simply spiritually
lazy they want everything handed to them
on a silver platter they don't want to
toil for it they want to ask you a
question they want you to give them the
answer like you're Google they don't
want to read the book they don't want to
go p through pages so I got a kid tells
me uh listen can you tell me where this
is what's the answer to such and such
question and I told him I I made all sh
about it two days
ago no no I I watched it and it's not
there I know what you I made
I said no it's there it's in the first
20 minutes you obviously didn't watch it
and if you watched it and you still
didn't get the point then watch it again
so what you say no I really didn't watch
it I just wanted a quick
answer adits it because I'm just
lazy everybody in Gom is lazy everybody
everybody in Gom is lazy everybody
there's not a single ambitious person in
G in in in in G everybody's lazy
spiritually lazy they don't want to look
for the truth sometimes people are
spiritually lazy they ruin themselves
why says at the end of a person has to
toil over it and to the extent where
he's willing to put his life on the line
for
it day and night fight for it make time
for it sweat over it you're tired stand
up read it while you're standing
whatever you can get more more more more
why because it's the only thing it's the
only thing that's going to help you it's
the only thing that's going to help you
why because the is working hard as it
says
in where
says I created he's a monster he's huge
he's smart he's
clever there's only way one way to beat
him it's the only thing
so then if somebody let's say he's not
really spiritually lazy anymore he's
toiling she's toiling she's learning a
little bit and he's doing the mitv
they're doing the mitv and they're not
making the big sense but they're still
having a tough time progressing what's
the other
reason their
environment the environment that they're
in where they are surrounded by a bunch
of people that are
simply or ignorant people that are but
act you know not necessarily on purpose
they're not to the extent where they're
evil but they just don't know anything
about Tor so naturally what do they do
they just make fun of it or they care
less about it so when they see that all
of a sudden you show up with a keeper
instead of saying doing cha what do they
do oh who died we just come back from a
funeral we just come back from a uh
Bar Mitzvah whose Bar Mitzvah did you go
to no no I didn't go for Mitzvah I just
I just start wearing a
keeper
why Why Oh no just kidding and he puts
it back in his pocket he's embarrassed
now he's embarrassed to wear keeper why
cuz his boy told them what what do you
mean we know you for 20 years 30 years
40 years you never were keeper what are
you going to change on us you going
leave us behind you going do thisy like
like as if like he's doing it to them
not he's not
Pro or a woman she sees a shoe she
realizes this theah of covering our hair
that's not
a suggestion but an obligation that we
learned from this
week's tells us the women have to cover
their
hair the rambam writes that even a
single woman has to cover her hair
starting at the age of
six but the
which is what we go by on this specific
issue that only if she's married only a
married woman has to cover her hair with
a so now a woman that's either not been
covering her
hair our whole life or she was covering
her hair with a wig and she saw some of
our lectures and videos about how
problem how much problems are in
wigs and she realized I have to cover my
hair so she come she gets a few
she puts it on her head she's starting
to get used to it it's a little
difficult it's a new look for
her and our girlfriends call her out you
know why you come have a cup of coffee
with us and she shows up with a nice
new right you know I'm she has the
courage to go out there and as she's
walking down towards her friends and her
friends are already sitting and
everybody's faces all of a sudden zoom
in on
her as if a whole world all of the walls
are closing and she's starting to feel
this all why are they all looking at me
like this why are they shaking their
head why is their head like this like a
dog usually it's
confused what's going on and then
they're all like smiling but not a smile
of happiness but like a smirk of
dissatisfaction or maybe this is a
joke and one of them blurts the vomit
out it's like what
happened what happened
what what is that that what's going on
you okay are you okay is there something
you have to tell
us like you have
cancer what happened what did you become
Muslim what
happened were you in a
cult no I'm just
wearing we don't
wear well she does but the wig why don't
you wear like her
no because my Rabbi tells me it's it's
the better your
Rabbi what your rabbi's better than
everybody else's
Rabbi your Rabbi knows better than
everybody else well you going to be
different than us why you doing this to
us and they start tearing this woman
apart and a poor woman what do she do
she gets embarrassed she says no no I
was just
kidding she goes into the bathroom
maybe she takes it off or maybe she
doesn't maybe she just goes home and
cries and at that
moment she just guaranteed every one of
those people at that table are going to
gain them
guaranteed they going to get punished
severely unless she withstands the test
if she doesn't they have a very serious
problem instead of satisfying her
friends she just brought the Holocaust
to them but she doesn't know that and
neither do you do do
they guy tries to do put a keep on put a
t on friend say something guys ask him
why you come out with us to the club he
knows he's not allowed to go to clubs
why he's a Jew no clubs no bars no
wasting time but he feels bad cuz they
keep calling him why don't you coming
Wen you comeing what's going on with
you last week was
sick you miss out was sick last
week this week it's going to be
ill next week
dead but that's only after the middle of
the week
coma he feels bad CU he keeps getting
text messages and voicemails and this
and that all of a sudden every's
interested in you know being
sick and it's tough times saying no and
she has a tough time saying no what are
you going to
do
so page
88 says
how
come us
a parable
comparing to an
Apple it says there's a
verse as a apple in the uh Forest the
Trees of the
forest what one thing have to do with
the
other so if you look at the commentary
if you just read this you have no idea
what's going on go to next page but
that's not where we learn to I we learn
to commentary without commentary we
blind people in
darkness you look at the commentary look
at
the what say
what's
what's not like you think
here is really
a it's really a why
is so show some verses show that this is
really referring to
a so why
is
a used as a comparison to anog it says
because
anog unlike other
fruits the
fruit come before the
leaves as it grows the fruit comes
before the
leaves comes over there says oh hold on
a second we know from nature that's not
true go look at the
tree plant it grow wait so be
patient you see what happens first the
leaves then the
fruit then the fruit so what are you
talking
about no the is a very special fruit why
this fruit doesn't breathe so in essence
what ends up happening is that this
fruit continues to grow so long as it's
on the
tree to the extent where it continues to
grow for several years so what does that
happen what does that mean that the the
leaves of the tree fall during the
season change but the fruit
stays so by the time the next season you
know the the the the leaves fell off the
leaves fell off but the fruit is still
there and the fruit's getting bigger and
bigger so when the new leaves show up
the fruit's already big so it's as if
the fruit's already been there already
developed and the and the leaves just
showed up says what does it have to do
with am why is like this he said look at
this look at this look how beautiful and
how special this
atog it doesn't care whether the leaves
are there or they're not there he
continues to grow and that's a Jew
that's am
is am is doesn't care about who's the
surroundings your friends like it they
don't like it approve of it don't
approve of it I'm going to continue
growing that's
am is not going to care about what the
friends are going to say or not going to
say I know what's the I'm going after it
100% why you're not going to help me in
the B of sh when they're asking me why
didn't I cover my hair and said no my
friends got in the way okay we're going
to put your friends in G home too what's
that going to help you your friends no
no no they're going to fight for me
they're G to say some good stuff about
me it's not going you're not going to
help me you're not going to help me over
there oh my husband doesn't want me to
work okay so he can go to G and you go
to Gan by not listening to him no what
about schite there's no schite when it
comes to making
sins it's not slum bite when it comes to
making
sense if your husband says don't cover
your hair you say either I'm going to
cover my hair and you're going to just
simply agree with it or go find new
wife
why the reality is I'm not going to get
up for
you of course you have to be patient you
have to be supportive you have to try to
encourage him to like it you got to do
whatever you can to get them to buy into
it use your wisdom but don't ever think
for a second that just because your
spouse disagrees with your chuva you're
allowed to do a d and Company say that
you could just pretty much make sense
you know because D teaches people that
if your wife wants to go to the beach on
Shabbat you're allowed to go for schom
purposes that's not what Al says Al says
if your wife wants to go to the beach on
Shabbat you tell her I'm not going you
can go and do whatever you want I'm
definitely not going though what about
schom bite there is no schlom bite like
this
there is no slum bite like
this you want to go do what you want you
want to go show yourself naked to a
bunch of men just expect that by the
time what Shabbat comes I'm not allowed
to plan on Shabbat but prophecy tells me
that you going have divorce papers also
ready why I don't want my wife going to
showing her body to the
world yeah but last week you were okay
with it yeah last week I was stupid last
week I didn't know I was going to get
punished for it now I know I'm not going
to do
it ah I'm not going to be happy about it
okay I rather you be not happy for a
little while
then not happy for a long
time but again try to encourage them in
a nicer voice than mine try to have
watch lectures with them try to educate
them but most importantly never ever for
a second think that it's okay to sin for
them and what about your friends forget
your
friends forget your friends there is no
friends as we learned from the sages you
want friends Rashi says go buy
books become friends with the sages
become friends with the rambam become
friends with Rashi become friends with
the the
Pim become friends with them that's good
friends why they always going to tell
you the truth these friends whatever
fits who needs friends like this these
friends are gonna help you in G no if
God asked him listen either you or him
are going to G which one do you want you
think he's going to pick you to to go to
G and him go to G absolutely not so why
would you pick
him I'm not saying don't have friends
I'm saying choose your friends carefully
and if you can't find friends like this
don't have
friends don't have friends why because
you have to understand your job in this
world is not to have friends your job in
this world is to get the gun Ed in do
everything possible to
serve serve serve your master serve your
King serve your father now what about
all of these outside influences we have
to learn from this this says you have to
be like
theog why because theog continues to
grow no matter what happens on his
outside and eventually you see that the
strategy wins why the leaves that left
they come back anyway they come back so
it's not like you're losing oh I lost
all my friends I'm alone that's just
temporary oh my f that's temporary if
they were real friends if it was real
family if there was real love there
eventually it's going to come back and
in fact if you continue to grow
spiritually not only will they come back
but they'll come back asking you for a
blessing why because two three before 5
years have passed their life is the same
run hole excuse for a life and you have
prospered you are married you have a kid
or two now
you're you've moved on with your life
they're still in some run sewer like
they've been for the last few years
nothing has changed in their life
they're still miserable they're still
depressed all that changes maybe a few
more prescriptions for their depression
nothing
changed
nothing you see you see I see it all the
time people I knew from the past I
haven't talked to in many years see them
nothing changed nothing zero whereas the
people have doing chuva you see rapid
changes six months later boom another
year later boom another two years later
wow a different life guys married kids
this
that you see this W like you did more in
two years than you did in 30 how
now the other thing question is
why why
is why is
is
um compared to
this says that just like the it's a
the tree of
knowledge says there's several different
choices of what it could have been could
have been wheat could have been grapes
and one of the options is a
meaning was
tree
and what did he
do what do he created us like him how
does this connect
you see the actual verse they
used the that they're referring to is
AEM AEM is like the fruit inside the
forest and AEM when he created man what
did he say he
says hem created Man In His Image even
more
so he said just like I am compared I
myself says I'm compared to the I'm
compared to the inside the forest the
sweetness the good smell all the good
stuff that's what I'm compared to I
created you just like
me now this is a wonderful thing but the
same token while it shows us our
potential we have to go to the next
stage of this
sugya
the page
89A says that when
when
mosu went up to mount
sa the MIM saw m and he said to hasem
what is the son of a woman doing
here what are he doing
here mosm said to Moshe answer
them Moshe got scared said hem they're
huge fire they're going to burn me hasem
says hold on to my chair I'll protect
you go no debate
them so starts debating them cuz now
he's not scared they're going to burn
him because he has a hase's got his
back so Moshe says to the angels what
what do you want I'm here to accept
Tor Angel says you here to accept Tor
you're fit to accept the
Tor why why would hm give you the Torah
we were created before
you so mhe says to them well clearly
Hashem created the to for us
because it
says honor your mother and your father
you have a mother and a father no it
says you have to keep kosher you you
guys eat you don't eat it also says
don't be jealous because jealous people
they don't get resurrected with the dead
do you guys have
jealousy so then the stops over there
stops the story over there and hold on a
second do do the angels have jealousy or
don't have jealousy why are the Angels
even going against here what angels have
jealousy says well there's a
complication here why because we have a
different Li a different Li where it
says that when a says in Genesis
in that we're going to create we are
going to create man in our in in our
image so say who's
we ask who's we it makes it sound like
you have uh more than one God go no what
it was is that I created the Angels
before you and because they're my
servants I don't want to make them
jealous that I'm making
you so I use their guidance if you will
I said so we're going to make we're
going to make even though it's only AEM
to give them some we're going to make
but why so they're not jealous so says
hold on a second wait so angels are
jealous or they're not
jealous so here's the
answer angels are not jealous of each
other the angel mik is not jealous of
the angel griel Gabriel is not jealous
of
Rafael no one is jealous of
M
me he's great he's there but no one's
jealous of him don't have jealousy but
here we see this clearly there's
jealousy why it says asked them because
he didn't want Jealousy on top of that
we see that they have an issue here with
M receiving the there's jealousy here
what's the problem they're not jealous
of each other they're jealous of men why
would they be jealous of man all of us
want to be angels we always want to say
oh yeah you're like an angel so how come
the angels are are jealous of us because
the Angels
see that a Jew
that is
a that observe the Torah to its fullest
can get to their level and higher while
still remaining flesh and blood when
mosu arrived in
sh to accept the Torah the Angels were
flabbergasted like how did you get here
you're Flesh and Blood you're a son of a
woman how did you get
here how do you how
says answer them tell them you purified
yourself tell them how holy you are tell
them
you're you have something to stand on
and the Angel's like wow this guy can
eat pizza and beh holy like an
angel wow
unbelievable that's
jealousy that's
jealousy that also tells us how
beautiful how beautiful the creation is
when you follow the instruction set a
person can simply sanctify themsel make
themselves so holy that the Angels
themselves become jealous but a good
jealousy not a bad
one but at the same token if he doesn't
follow the
instructions he could simply ruin it all
one sin can ruin it all one sin ruins it
all and that's why when you speak about
these big sins these KET sins you cannot
have any type of discounts you can't
have any type of leniency you can't just
say oh no big deal you have to tell
people listen you don't understand you
have the opportunity you have the
ability to be higher than an angel
Hashem created you with a potential to
be higher than an angel you have no idea
what this means but all of the work that
you're doing could simply be ruined in
one second
like you worked your whole life 50 60
years to make all of your money but if
you press that button you're going to
lose
everything but if the guy is just
foolish and acting drunk he's like a I'm
going to press I'm to press what are you
going to do to protect this drunk from
his own
error you grab him you tackle him you do
whatever you can no no because you press
too
late you can't oh maybe shouldn't you
know what maybe you could try
it like one poor woman tells me listen
I'm trying to do chuva after watching
your shim she's in uh
London watching chah my whole life has
changed fixing the whole uh issue with
the kids
circumcised our
children uh keeping
Shabbat into marriage divorce now all
the good things says the only is I can't
find a rabbi so why there's many rabbis
over go now I called the local Rabbi
over here I told him I'm doing CH I'm
keeping but it's
uh and the rabbi tells me no no don't
don't take it easy take it easy you
could still drive on Shabbat it's okay
it's
okay you don't have to do so much she I
got scared after that I never called him
again I don't understand what do you
mean I could drive on
Shabbat Hashem gave Commandments he said
no he said no driving on Shabbat
why is he saying it's
okay I already did it for 30 40 years
why is he saying it's still okay never
never said it's okay said get
scared problem is that he himself does
not
have but it's very hard to tell who does
and who doesn't
have so with that being said I'm going
to read you a couple of things and then
we're going to go to the
questions when it comes to shabbat a
person has to
understand
writes in regards to the mid
onat in page 10 B where
tells I have a precious gift in my
treasure in my treasure chest and it's
called Shabbat and I wish to present it
to the go and inform them meaning
that gave the gift of
Shabbat to is even before the Torah even
before the Tor and writes in regards to
this mid that there are many different
types of precious gems in the world some
which are literally
Priceless very few people have the means
to purchase a large collection of such
Jewels even Kings and Emperors would
find it difficult to obtain samples of
every type of gem known to man The more
powerful the king the more vast this
Empire is the more likely it is
that he will have a larger collection of
rare
gems the Holy One Blessed Be he the King
of Kings has access to all the treasures
of Gold Silver and jewels in the
universe but nevertheless he does not
take pride in any of these and instead
he has a treasure and he calls it
Shabbat which he called his precious
gift clearly it's impossible for us to
conceive its true value yet every Jew
has access to this precious gift all you
need to do is observe the Shabbat
everyone should be anxious to observe it
to the very best of their ability in
order to gain the largest portion of
this possible of this precious
gift now here theim tells us that the
master of all and the owner of all
doesn't call everything his precious
gift he call Shabbat his precious gift
and I'm giving it to
you a person that's wise understands
that he need to do everything possible
to get as much of this gift as they can
the ra chter 30 number
15 writes that whoever observes the
Shabbat as the prescribes and honors it
and indulges in its pleasure Pleasures
to the best of their ability will
receive an abundant reward in this world
in addition to the reward set aside for
him in the world to come and in the
Merit of observing
Shabbat the sins of a person can be
forgiven to the extent where are
sages says even someone who was an idol
worshipper as people did in the
generation of
enosh to observing the Shabbat as the
dictated will be forgiven for idol
worship that's how valuable Shabbat is
now when you have such a treasure and
someone plays with fire and says Ah
sometimes he cares about it sometimes he
doesn't care about
it sometimes he treats it carefully
sometimes not so
much what does that mean he doesn't
understand how precious it is and that's
why the rambam
continues theah
Shabbat is equivalent to all of the
other MIT combined
it's a sign of the Eternal connection
between the Blessed Holy One and us and
therefore anyone who transgressors any
of the other in is still considered a
Jew even though they're a wicked one
nonetheless still a Jew but someone who
P publicly desecrates the Shabbat is
considered for all purposes to be on the
level of a member of the idol
worshipping
Nations so when some one can go from
Gaining the greatest treasure Hashem has
in this world to now he's about to lose
it but not just lose it turn into an
idol
worshipper We Now understand why the
sages speak so harshly on the
Sinners We Now understand why mosenu had
to kill for violating Shabbat and being
the first shabat in history he killed
them with the worst death penalty in
front of everyone
the
zos says every Friday afternoon there's
an
announcement broadcast throughout every
section of Gom that all of the suffering
of the Sinners has to be
halted but for those who didn't observe
the Shabbat while they were alive the
fires of Gom are never extinguished
meaning if a person made sins and got
themselves into G but if they at least
kept
Shabbat they'll have a break on on
Shabbat and eventually get out of
Gom but if a person died without doing
Chua for
Shabbat the fire never goes out not on
Shabbat and not
ever
the elaborates further says there are
four different methods of
executions the simplest one is which
means
strangulation for the more severe sins a
person is executed by which is
decapitation by a
sword but for the other more severe sins
a person is executed by which is
burning but the most terrible form of
execution in the Torah is reserved for
the worst possible sins which is skila
stoning this punishment is reserved for
the sin of desecrating
Shabbat the most terrible of all
punishments that the Torah prescribes
says that
means a murderer a murderer gets lesser
of punishment than they both get death
penalty but a murderer is considered
less of a sinner
than there is an opinion from the that a
murderer still has a share of the world
to come some say he doesn't but some say
he still has a share of the world to
come but yet in regards
to everyone says across the board has no
share of the world to come why because
said that said he has no share of the
world to
come wrote this
in in Chapter 2 section three that our
sages taught page 156a that someone
who's born on
Shabbat then he will die on Shabbat as
well but this is because he forced
others to desecrate Shabbat to save his
life when he was
born meaning you born on Shabbat you
have to violate Shabbat for him he's
going to die on Shabbat also why because
of he forced people to
desecrate Shabbat for him to be
born and he's uh going to do the same
when he dies now what happens if so it's
not ideal it's not ideal what happens if
somebody
dies right before
Shabbat and gets
buried thean
rights
concur say someone that dies on Friday
and gets buried before Shabbat has such
a high Merit there's
no meaning he goes straight to the bed
of sh no suffering in the grave at all
nothing why nobody violated Shabbat
because of
you
now
the sages continue saying that someone
that violate Shabbat is considered as if
he denied the truth of the entire
Torah and is given the elic status of an
idol
worshipper it doesn't mean that he's
considered not Jewish and he has to
convert rather he's considered an idol
worshipper when it comes to how you
treat him so for example if you have a
Christian friend all the types of idol
worshippers and
they see that you have an open bottle of
wine on your counter and they pick it
up that wine you're not all to drink it
anymore why because one of the forms of
idol worship in the past has been that
they would give this this wine to their
gods this form of idology so we don't
know if they just picked it up just to
see the tag or was really a form of
idology we don't know we can't trust
them we have to throw it out you can't
even give it to your dog he can't sell
it
nothing not if the guy's an idol
worshiper he's uh believes in Buddha he
believes in some cow he believes in some
human
being a precious Jew that turns himself
into an idol worshipper by violating
Shabbat he touches your wine you have to
treat it the same way you have to throw
it
out that's what it means treating him
like an idol
worshipper if an Arab an Arab skilled at
slaughtering skilled if he Slaughters
your
cow now let to eat it now let to eat
it Christian
Muslim
atheist some type of Buddhist whatever
they are non-jew they slaughter your cow
your chicken now to eat
it a Jew a Jew Slaughters the
cow if he's
a also now eat it
why consideration Idol
worshiper yet had a
wedding you need two witnesses for a
wedding one of your Witnesses
is your wedding is not
valid
why is not allowed to be witness in a
Jewish
ceremony not that means that if you used
AABB as a witness in your wedding you
have to get married
again a person has to understand that
here you have something that's the
greatest treasure that a kadh who has in
his treasure
chest and losing it doesn't just mean
you don't have it it's so precious to
that you forsaking
itom is such a disregard and disrespect
to him it's as if you violated the
entire Torah which turns the person into
an idol
worshipper and
some rule that this stringency applies
even more to somebody who publicly
performs acts on
our that our sages forbid as well
meaning that it doesn't have to just be
a Shabbat that drives a car on
Shabbat that's considered an idol
worshipper but rather even if somebody
went against the theal
like for example M he doesn't care about
M Rabbi said not to touch m not to touch
your phone on chabbat not allow to touch
it do say you're not allow to touch your
phone say you're not to turn on your
phone use your phone not allowed but to
just touch your phone just pick it up to
do say that but the sages said no we
have to put a fence around the fence
you're not even allowed to pick up your
phone you're not allowed to pick up a
pen and he says Ah sages sches I'm going
to do whatever I want I'm not going to
on the phone I just want to put it over
here I'm not going to write anything I
just want to see what it says it's a big
deal no you guys are a
fanatic say Idol
worshiper Idol worshiper why I didn't
drive on Shabbat Rabbi Idol worshiper
why you disregard the sages and on top
of being an idol worshipper is a special
punishment for making fun of the sages
what's the
punishment person goes to
no to a u a boiling a uh uh uh
seed who's going to be his next door
neighbor Yos that's where he is right
cuz
he says Yos made fun of the rabbis
disregard them that's his punishment
that's his punishment so a person that
disregards the
RAB takes ah it's just rabinal rabinal
you know rabinal is a big deal why right
because says these rabbis these are my
these are my soldiers these are my most
loyal now even though he is not Des he's
not publicly performed any act that the
Torah
forbids he has lost his status as a Jew
and is considered an idol worshiper
according
to
and section two number
five the prophet neya chapter 10
recounts how the leaders of the Jewish
people in his time a few thousand years
ago signed The Pact reaffirming their
commitment to accept AEM as their God
and to observe his mitv Faithfully but
later it was discovered that the people
were not faithful to this pack during
ne's absence and were remiss concerning
three of its Clauses the obligation to
separate tithes meaning give M from all
of their produce to avoid inter marriage
with women of other nations and to
observe the Shabbat
in reaction to this neya instituted
various safeguards for the continued
Shabbat observance of the nation and he
recorded this incident as
follows in those days I noticed in the
land of Yuda that Peddlers were coming
to yush from other cities to sell their
wees to the residents of yush they
engaged in the trade of wine grapes and
figs and they purchased F fish from the
pedlers of teal I complain to the people
saying what is this evil thing that
you're doing you're bringing the wrath
of God onto the people of is by
desecrating Shabbat meaning these people
were doing business on Shabbat he says
why you think that you doing business on
Shabbat is just going to affect you no
no Wrath of God's going to come on
everybody you're fting Shabbat
everybody's gonna get punished it's not
just you why number one they're allowing
it to happen number two they're not
rebuking you number
three everybody's
connected you violate Shabbat somebody
else gets hurt
too if you violate Shabbat and on the
news you hear some Jewish Soldier got
killed Don't Think Twice It's your
fault don't do it's your
fault no I didn't kill him well you
didn't save him
either you didn't say either tsunami
hurt Jewish people your
fault Corona killed people it's your
fault don't mistake it's not don't like
taking oh no no it's not it's your
fault you're a murderer you you killed
people don't don't blame the Arab that
uh that killed the uh the Jewish
shoulder don't blame him he's just a
little Pond that Hashem uses to do his
will what allowed this Arab to murder a
Jewish
Soldier the people that are sinting
people that are violating Shabbat people
that are wasting seed people that are
changing the the bed of sh and changing
the all types of stupid things that they
say against the T like there's no
relevance of 13 principles of faith God
needs us uh homosexuality is no longer
an Abomination all types of nonsense
that Manis fredman and his friends
say people change the make the Tora into
some type of an opinion
book says I bring wrath to the world you
hear about Jewish people dying don't
think for a second of anything else
whose fault it is their fault all of
those
people all of those
people sometimes those people are
religious sometimes they're secular
sometimes
they sometimes
they but they make other
sins point being wrath comes to the
world because of sins not because hm has
nothing to
do
so tells the people that by violating
Shabbat you're bringing the wrath of God
onto the Jewish
people when the shadows of darkened the
gates of yush before Shabbat I gave an
order to the doors being to be locked
and
shut and that they were not to be open
until after Shabbat I ordered that the
doors of the City be locked so that the
Peddlers would not enter the city to
sell their
Wares the Peddlers remained encamped
outside yush once or twice and I said to
them why are you camp by the wall if you
will do this again I will raise my hand
against you from then on they no longer
came on Shabbat I then proclaimed please
my God remember this good deed for me
and have mercy on me as befits your
abundant the prophet tells these people
if you come to again I'm going to raise
my hand what does that mean when a
prophet tells you I'm going to raise my
hand what do you think F
fight Prophet saying if you come on
Shabbat I'm going say one word you're
all going to die one word I say to H
you're going to die
instantly one
word page 24b
says that there was a
large populated city named T
Shimon its greatness lay in the fact
that every Friday they produced an
enormous amount of loaves of bread to
distribute to the poor people
nevertheless in the in the end the city
was sacked and
destroyed why did this happen they gave
a lot
OFA organization gives a lot of staka
people think ah there's such t look how
much good they're doing why you speaking
against them all the time they have kala
parties kanuka parties they help to
they're good so we says yeah there are
many other people in the past that had
kala parties and kanuka parties and
donate a lot of money they did yeah
plenty but destroyed them anyway why why
did this happened says it was because
the people of the Town had a practice of
playing with a ball on Shabbat they like
to shoot hoops they like to shoot hoops
on Shabbat you want to shoot hoops no
problem I'll destroy
everything
oops section
seven why the Torah was not given to us
as suggestion book The shabat was not
given to us as something we can choose
to take or not take says this is the
greatest gift I have don't spit in my
face honor it so then say so what did
hasem give us the Shabbat for what are
we supposed to do learn Torah not play
with balls what are you a
dog if you want to be a dog ask please
please bring me back as a goul of a dog
I want to play with balls all day my
master will throw a tennis ball go I get
a ball I come back ball back maybe I'll
jump into pool get the ball ask bring
you back as a dog is no problem you want
to play with a ball in Shabbat just ask
just make me a dog and that's it but if
you want to be a Jew you can't play with
balls on Shabbat why says an entire city
not a family not a person an entire city
full of millions of people millions of
people was destroyed because people
playing basketball in Shabbat
wrote in
his it's absolutely frightening to
contemplate this passage and its message
about the sanctity of Shabbat after all
even those Pim who rule that it's
forbidden to play with balls on
Shabbat agree that it's only because the
balls are M and it's forbidden only by
our sages yet this sin caused the
destruction of an entire Metropolis of T
Shimon despite the great Merit of the
charity that the people of that City
distributed regularly furthermore from
the very fact that they distributed the
Loaves on Friday we see that these
people honor the Shabbat meaning they
kept Shabbat because they gave the Kal
on on Friday which means it was
connected to shabbat these people were
Shabbat they did not Kindle Fire on
Shabbat nor did they bake or carry from
place to place on Shabbat these weren't
like people that were driving to the
batan
synagogue they weren't driving they
weren't working on Shabbat why they no
play basketball they play with a B
that's
it
and writes it's likely that they observe
the rules of M regarding all other
items this one detail they
ignored brought this massive terrible
Massac why they ignored what the sages
said one thing everything else they
kept everything they
kept says it's too precious of a gift
it's too precious of a gift for
you to mistreat it
it's to Precious of a
gift you can't throw a diamond that's
worth a100 million in the air like a
ball needless to say you can't throw the
King's Daughter in the air when you're
on a 100 story building and on the
balcony all right it's too precious of a
gift to take any risks two precious of a
gift last thing and then we'll get the
questionsin simin
wrote in
in if a Jew does not observe Shabbat he
lowers himself to less than the status
of a dumb
Beast to achieve atonement he must be
stoned to
death if he is not
stoned the connection of his soul with
God and His Torah the bond between God
and the nation of is will be severed
permanently therefore executing him with
stoning is actually doing him a great
favor giving him the worst possible
death penalty at the time of the we
can't execute these things
today is doing him a favor why at
least his soul will not be permanently
severed from Hashem his gum will end at
some point
but since we do not have the anymore we
can't execute
this so in his Mercy he says even though
we don't have the the death penalty
still
apply so when you see a person got into
a plane crash shom car
accident fell out of a
building that's
stoning that's
stoning so why who says I gave you the
greatest treasure I gave you the
greatest thing what did you do you spit
in my
face why because you want to play with a
ball you want to drive on
Shabbat yeah but the the sh is too far
from my house don't
go there is no commandment to go to
synagogue there is a commandment to keep
Shabbat
and a person needs to understand that
when it comes to
shabbat it is not a
suggestion says you have to understand
it's such a precious gift this gift of
Shabbat If You observe it not only is it
going to reward you in the next world
not only is it going to reward you in
this world witha which which a lot of
things schite all types of wonderful
things come on Shabbat you're Torah
learning is counted a thousandfold when
you learn on Shabbat versus the rest of
the week so much so that some of the
sages would literally not go to sleep on
Shabbat not to waste a single minute and
learn the whole
time but on top of all this CH the
Shabbat is one of the greatest chuva
tools in the world why just by keeping
Shabbat it's repenting for many of your
sins as great as the ones as idol
worship
so it's so much
loss that unless Hashem tells you and
promises you and he can't break his
promise that the punishment is going to
be the most severe of all
punishments you're not going to take it
seriously he says you cannot afford this
loss you could afford other losses you
could afford to lose a 100 Grand you
could afford to uh lose a foot you could
afford to lose an eye you can lose
afford to lose a lot of things you
cannot afford to lose Shabbat
because if you lose Shabbat you lost
everything your chuva will never
happen your reward simply goes into the
garbage your p and all the things you
were supposed to get will never have you
may make a lot of money but you'll never
have
blessing all that money will go to bills
taxes lawsuits
and we're not even just talking about
the biblical sins like driving on
Shabbat that's a needless to say you
light a fire on Shabbat it's obvious
you're going against theem M like war
and one of my students an engineer tells
me no no no Raba you made a mistake
you're saying that someone drives a car
is lighting a fire it's wrong it's not
lighting a fire Rabbi it's lighting
thousands of fires so what do you mean
he says okay let me give you a graph he
gives me a graph four or five years ago
this is what it is for from 0 to 60 MPH
for every approximately 15 minutes it's
something like 60,000 fires that you
lit that means you violated Shabbat
60,000
times just by going from your house to
the traffic light by time you got to the
20 minutes
later you need a miracle to get out of
this G that you put yourself into so
what do he said listen I have a gift for
you what's the gift Shabbat yeah I was
violating it till now okay keep it so
what I do about the past first of all
you keeping it that already helps that
already helps but better
yet it's going to help you purify
yourself purify your mind you're going
to understand a big secret I have in the
world it's called
kiru get other people to keep Shabbat
take one of these CDs take one of these
10cent flyers take one of the uh USBS
take one of the free online lectures
share it with somebody share this clip
right now which your friend that's not
keeping Shabbat with your friend that is
keeping Shabbat but not exactly as he
should or even he's keeping as he should
but he needs a little more anyway share
this with everybody like spam mail
everyone buy a list of 100,000 Jews and
send them all emails every single week
about Shabbat if you have
to why every single time you get one of
these people to keep Shabbat guess what
every one of the Shabbat that they're
going to keep for the rest of their life
makes up for your Shabbat in the past so
instead of showing up to sh as someone
that keeps Shabbat but still has 20 30
years of Shabbat so you have 30 years of
Shabbat violation as a deficit you're
still missing what do you come up the
shine with a surplus of thousands of
Shabbat why you send people the emails
you sent people the CDs you sent people
the posters you invested in kiru you
didn't do anything you just gave us
money to do it whatever you did but you
did something on a regular basis that
got people to keep Shabbat every single
person that keeps Shabbat from that
point on goes to your account every week
it's like you're keeping 100 200 300 400
shabbats in a matter of six months
you've completed Chua for 20 30
years of Shabbat so from that moment on
everything is extra
when you go up TOA guess what not only
you're going to have an endlessa but
guess what people just like they pray
to and rim and andu for their Merit
please please please for the Merit of
mhu for the Merit of please help me why
because mhu all the s they have extra
merits people are going to pray for the
Merit of ruen for the Merit of Shimon
that he got so many people to do Chua
please help me because you have so many
merits because you got so many people to
do Chua instead of going up there with a
deficit you go up there with a merit now
no one's praying to you but rather using
your Merit and a person that goes up to
Sham with a surplus there's no one in
the world that's more lucky than him
with that being
said give me some questions
Joshua absolutely there's no end there's
no end where do we learn it from says
that
re had a who was also his a uh cousin or
nephew
Rabia and Rabia even though he was his
T he
uh died before him
Andes
saw saw
his and he saw that all of theik they
have their world they have their gun
Eden and if they want to go visit each
other you know m wants to go visit Aon
he
has you got to get Angels take me over
here take me over
herea wants to visit R Shimon take me
over he goes to angels have to let him
in no
no he doesn't have anybody tell him
where to go he goes wherever he
wants he's higher than Angels why
because
did
when saw how much Freedom pretty much
runs the show over there he can go
wherever he wants no one can tell him
what to
do rebi started crying started crying
and in his old age started running in
the streets looking to help people do
Chua the biggest Rabbi in the world that
his own generation of sages said if mhia
came it would be re the old men started
running in the streets looking for
looking for secular people who can help
do who who why I want to be like my
student I want to be like my student
that did kir
why because his doesn't end he keeps
getting more and more worlds all of his
students they
do gets more more more is is is is
reward has literally no end no end to
the extent where the biggest sadik in
the generation started crying he said in
comparison I work by look my student he
did K surpassed everyone surpassed
everyone and that's why the say
that when a person toils for to do kiru
meaning he makes kiru she makes kiru a
serious part of their life either by
investing into it every single month
with the with the or with their time or
it's their
vocation or they use their skill on a
regular basis meaning that kiru is a
serious part of their life not just
something that's random it's their
number one investment
not only does their reward not end but
the
Z says when they go up to
shamim the betting of shim doesn't talk
to them no judgment says go
g yeah but I had some sins no no yeah
nothing
go no judgment it's the only get out of
jail free card that
exists why people that do K they're
among everyone else no one else can
reach such a level even someone that
says even someone that
has cannot reach a level of somebody
that
does why because when you think about
it has his children that he
loves very dearly and he's been waiting
for them to come back to him for
3,332 years he's looking for them oh
where's my son Steve oh where's my
daughter where's my daughter where's my
son where are they I'm looking for them
yeah they're right there but they don't
notice me yeah I gave them some money
but instead of you know doing good with
it they do bad with it where are they
how are they going to come home why they
going to call and you give them a flyer
you Hey listen uh Steve this really
interesting what is it it's interesting
what is it it's a
movie comes back to you the next day wow
you changed my life you changed my life
my whole thing is thinking it's
different this woman actually fourth one
today I forgot to tell you fourth one
today she says listen Rob I got to tell
you this look she sends me a snapshot of
her phone she says my cousin who's a
soldier in Israel he volunteer go he's
an American but he came to Israel to be
a soldier and he came over for the
weekend and uh kept Shabbat with us for
the first time in his life and Shabbat I
told him listen why don't you watch this
movie
watch the
movie the next morning he says my whole
life has changed I'm never going to be
the same you just fix my whole life I
understand what I'm in the world for
give me more that's it one time one time
a special not most people does take one
time but this person this all this
morning I'm telling you every single
story I'm telling you it's all in the
last 24 hours and there's probably more
I just can't remember
them it's so easy it's so easy to get
people to do chuat today you'd be be
stupid not to do
it and that's
why whole depends on him says he started
crying when he saw the reward and on top
of it when we learned from
Rim you go up to sh as someone that
invested into there's simply no de
meaning obviously of course you didn't
make any purposeful sins and and do some
horrible things talking about you did K
and you stay a
sadik in sh says next wait but I'm here
no no you're not here you're in G
next next people always ask me oh they
scared not to be scared
to to you have to be scared about Gom
why because you could avoid
it but not just one time oh listen Rabbi
gave out 100 CDs okay
no no I gave okay good you gave so so
what are you going to do now I have to
give more yeah how much more I don't
know a
million can give a million oh that's a
lot yeah what do I do after that another
million 10 as long as you're
alive as much as you can possibly do
your whole life why every single you
bring back
to says you are just something special
you're the best why I've been looking
for this kid for 3,000 years and you
brought him back you brought her back
you brought my daughter Sarah back you
brought my son David back you brought
Ruben back you brought a FR you brought
him back you're the best nobody else
brought him back you brought him back
surely you're going to get special
treatment what's the treatment no G home
even though you had a few mess ups here
in
there
next yes in the back
Aon wasn't for for
lening oh both of them both of them were
rebuked some said that Aon was
punished uh not the uh not the uh same
level as a uh as
uh um as M because Aron simply was
receptive and not not just uh not saying
like she was he wasn't instigating he
was there but some said that he was
punished because I mean his sons died he
had to suffer that and it specifically
says that when Aon found out that his
sons
died Aon was quiet didn't say anything
which was like a tun could be a ton for
what happened over there over there when
when uh
Mir uh said instead of rebuking her and
telling her something he stayed quiet so
he had a problem sons died they also
died for different reasons but he had to
suffer for that also so what was his tun
when the punishment came he also had to
be quiet also had to be quiet so when it
comes to the laws
of the uh the parties involved you're
100% right the part all the parties
involved are uh are guilty the speaker
of L The Listener of L and the believer
of L someone to believe or not it's also
a sin and believe it or not even the
person that gets spoken about has a
little bit of a problem too why there's
no such thing as people speaking about
you and you're 100%
clean you have to fix something too but
as far as the punishment is the first
three so so a person needs to know that
it's not necessarily the same punishment
it depends where where you're at with
this thing that's also the say one of
the ways that hasem gave us a uh
reminder of Our obligation to not listen
to is the way that he designed our
fingers did you ever wonder how come
your fingers look like this how come
they don't look like something else why
aren't they sticks maybe or something
else the reason why your fingers look
exactly like this is because your
fingers not my fingers your fingers your
fingers fit your ears but nobody else's
exactly you put your ears you can't
listen if I put my fingers in your ears
which was going to kind of be disgusting
um it won't fit it won't fit if you put
in mine which means you're probably
gonna get a nice elbow um it's not gonna
fit but if you put your fingers your
fingers fit why
comes nothing nothing why I don't want
to go to get home I don't get punished
leave me
alone doesn't speak to me go somewhere
else find a different customer none of
it is true exactly is
true when is
allowed when is the
allowed few
conditions one when it's for toilet when
you're looking to help somebody meaning
you have a son you have a daughter you
have a wife you have a
friend that you're looking to help so
you come to the rabbi and say Rabbi
listen my friend is doing such and such
in his business he's stealing in his
marriage he is not a good guy in his her
marriage and you
tell but it's allowed why because you're
coming to the rabbi say Rabbi please
help I can't help her she won't listen
to me I can't help you won't listen to
me and she won't come to you so I'm
telling you so maybe you could find a
creative way to help them that's toate
it's
allowed not it's allowed is if it's a uh
against Heretics people that distort the
Tora like
Manis and all of the people on that list
all
these and many others that go against
the T distort it there's no de of
against them in fact publicizing their
garbage is a mitvah why you're warning
the public you're warning the public
this is
in
five then
third if it's
or a
atheist or a idol worshipper there's no
de
of there's no de persons are going
against on a regular
basis you could speak about him as much
as you
want but you shouldn't you can it's not
a sin if you do but you still shouldn't
why shouldn't you not because it's not
allowed but you shouldn't get yourself
used to speaking about other
people in General unless it's to help
people you should never speak about
other people's house and other people's
marriage and other people's business and
other people anything don't speak about
other people you want to speak about
people speak about the sages some nice
SEO some nice story about the sages how
they did this and they did that and all
the things they that's a good thing to
speak about other people don't speak
about them why it only creates problems
create creates problems in sh it creates
problems all of these families that end
up having a complete meltdown and
there's divorces and fighting between
the in-laws and all that stuff all of it
starts with he said this she said that
yeah but it's true exactly why' you
share it I didn't mean it I didn't do
this I didn't do that all of it starts
with people pretty much not minding
their business and that ends up being
but when it comes to protecting the
public because someone is a going
against the Torah and in essence is
fooling people into believing falsehood
it's a to speak out against those people
mitvah just like it's aah to keep
Shabbat it's to warn the public about
those people it's aah to shame those
people just like it's a mitvah to make
fun of
idolatry says that what makes a Jew a
Jew says being like m
is being a Jew being
like is being a Jew why they made fun of
idolatry and anyone that makes fun of
idolatry that's a Jew that's a Udi so
when someone makes fun of the tah by
distorting it even if they're Rabbi even
if they're whatever they are they make
fun of the tah they make fun of the
sages there's somebody like that it's a
mitvah to make fun of them just like you
make fun of idolatry
next
yes were all the other
planets everything was
created so
the discusses it and also the rambam the
rambam writes of having all of the even
before the time of telescopes which were
only really created 400 years ago Gile
galile discussed you know had this first
telescope which actually was a stolen
design from somebody from a previous
generation but anyway the telescope was
really only invented 400 years ago yet
the sages discussed the planets and
different things uh 2,000 years before
that because they had knowledge from
Mount Si and the rambam writes it in M
talks about the Spheres talks about all
of the planets and so on all of it was
created
init when hasem created the he created
the sh but sh doesn't just mean the sky
that you see shamai means the heavens
means the entire universe entire
universe was created before he cre
before this world Hashem was creating
and destroying worlds and before that
Hashem was by
himself page 12 a discusses how
originally was by himself and had to
minimize himself in order to make room
for his creation if you will not that
he's a physical form but but in essence
he was the only thing and he had to in
essence minimize himself to make room
for anything else and he created
everything with a single dot that
started expanding and expanding into the
universe that you see today until he
roared and said die said stop and the
universe stopped expanding and that is
the reason why he is called el
shakai the god that said die the god
that said die so that's a name that you
have for example on your on your mza if
you have a mza that's a see- through
you'll see that name
Shin on your mza because that gives a
protection for the house uh you'll see
that name in different parts of the
Torah abah ainu discusses it and so on
it's a very holy name and it comes from
hashem's creation of the world and
creation of the world doesn't just mean
this uh uh globe that we're in right now
but rather all of the other planets as
well the common the universe the
galaxies and so on and so forth next yes
I was
wondering what's the purpose behind
panic attacks and muscle spasms what is
the purpose behind panic attacks and
muscle
spasms I mean your body is going to
react to different things that you have
uh both physically and
spiritually the Aral discusses how there
are certain things that a person uh
reacts to
without really understanding why and
that's in essence the Soul's reaction to
something that it already knows and
recognizes from a previous Carnation
from a previous life that they lived so
for example if a person let's say in a
previous life drowned and died they
could be born in this gen in this in
this world today as someone that has a
phobia of water they don't know why they
have a phobia of water because they
never had a problem with water but
they're Soul knows that in their
previous life they had a problem with
water the same thing goes with bugs and
so on and so forth same concept when it
comes to anxiety or other things like
that is that the the soul is telling the
body that it is has some type of
resistance to something that's in this
person's life something that's creating
this stress this a uh this uh problem if
you will uh that it the soul knows
already everything from the beginning
the body restri I to only knowing what
you have in this life in this world now
but so the soul is in Ence telling you
this not a good match for us we already
have a history with this you know it's
like somebody tells you oh it's my best
friend and this guy stole half a million
dollars with you five million five years
ago but your friend doesn't know that my
best friend yeah yeah best friend okay
I'll see you later where are you going
want you want me my best men it why cuz
he doesn't know that this best friend of
his is a guy that stole half a million
dollars from you you know so in essence
that's what your soul is telling you oh
this thing that's that's you constantly
see there's a trigger point every time
you talk about a certain subject every
time you go next to certain people every
time you go to a certain place every
time you're at a certain height whatever
it is you have an anxiety you have some
type of uh a uh physical reaction you
have Twitches uh you have a heart
palpitations you have a headaches things
like that that is your soul reacting to
something that your body is not aware
of now does that mean that you have to
pretty much run from everything that you
have a negative reaction to not
necessarily it means that this is going
to be a a more difficult obstacle for
you to overcome than something that
comes naturally to you you know because
there are certain things you can't avoid
you can't avoid water at some point you
have to take a shower or else we're not
going to let you come back to the
Sho uh at some point you have to uh you
know do certain things so you have to
overcome certain phobias and how do you
overcome certain phobias by purifying
your by purifying your and by learning
more and more tah and
perfecting perfecting your character
traits the more you perfect your
character traits by meditating over the
things that you are failing at let's say
for example you're stingy or you're
arrogant or your angry person or
whatever it is that you are that you
know is a negative trait because
everyone complains about
it so what do you do you have to learn
about this topic and how to fix it from
Jewish sources not from Tony
Robbins from the Jewish sages we have
plenty of wisdom in our nation we don't
need to go to theim you learn how to
overcome this obstacle from the Torah
and part of that learning is meditating
over the whole thing of what's Happening
how are you faing and start visualizing
yourself overcoming this obstacle so for
example they did a study and they said
there was a a two groups one group of
people throwing a ball into a net over
and over again to practice and improve
their shot another group was imagining
themselves throwing a ball but they
weren't throwing
anything two groups one is throwing the
actual ball
one is throwing an imaginary
Bowl after a while they tested out who
has better aim surprisingly the ones
that actually have the imaginary ball
had a better
aim they improve the most how come
because the ones that had it go in their
mind they constantly visualized
themselves putting it inside the hoop
and succeeding over and over again they
didn't imagine themselves missing
whereas the ones that were actually
throwing the ball they missed they
missed a bunch of times and they got it
a bunch of times but they didn't you
know they didn't have as good a success
as the guy that was imagining himself
succeeding over and over again so when a
person meditates over their character
trait that they're failing at and they
start visualizing okay I'm an angry
person this person that's coming over my
house is a very annoying person and I
know he's going to do something to annoy
me I know the yet loves this guy to come
over from my house now obviously I can't
tell the guy not to come over cuz he's
family relative or something obviously I
can't get into a fight with him because
that's definitely not going to do
anything good for me so what am I going
to do okay let me just visualize how is
this conversation going to go usually
when he comes over he says something and
he calls me a name usually he makes up a
new character name for me every time
okay when he says that I'm going to
visualize some cartoon in my in my head
to make myself laugh to make pretend
like I'm laughing at what he says so you
start visualizing yourself overcoming
the first insult then usually he gives
me a slap and I'm going to pretend like
he really is giving me a friendly slap
even though he really means to hurt me
and on top of that after that he's going
to make fun of my wife's cooking and I'm
going to pretend like he's really said a
compliment on my wife's cooking and it's
really good for my wife to hear
something negative because it's good for
her chuva because you know we this this
rotten person is her father so what
could she do she can't rebuke him and
I'm gonna and he does all of this in his
head he plays out the whole nightmare
that he's about to experience for the
next two hours for a week before it
happens why so when when the guy finally
comes if he does all of that he knows
already how to deal with it and if he
doesn't he's pleasantly surprised and he
gets rewarded for for overcoming
it you see so a person has to use their
imagination for that use their their
their mind for that overcome the
obstacles next question almost
done yes okay so with the resurrection
of the Dead everyone like all s are
going to come they going be resurrected
right sikim yes so in sh and they're
come back down Earth
is no so the uh the uh the there's
different stages to the
world right now the sikim are in a in
heaven but it's not the highest level of
Heaven that they're going to get
eventually there is a uh higher levels
than that even
is so the stage that they're in is a
very high level once the mashiach comes
and the war is over and they bury all
the dead then there's going to be some
say it's going to be 40 years later is
going to be resurrection of the Dead
those of theik are going to be put into
their body their best body they're going
to be perfect shape there's not going to
be any sickness there's not going to be
any yet and they're going to live in a
world of perfection it's not it's going
to be very very similar to the world
they already lived in but even a higher
level of sanctifying hm's name name a
higher level of sanctifying hm's name
because over here there's going to be a
bet mikdash it's going to be a third bet
mdash over there there's no bet mikdash
so there going be a higher level of them
being able to sanctify shem's name
without having to deal with the yet so
it's actually having The Best of Both
Worlds that's going to continue for a
thousand years from the six to the 7,000
year approximately and then after that
7,000th year then this world ends and
everybody goes to
which is the permanent a place of uh
good for everyone uh for all theik now
uh there are some people that will be
resurrected and live through the whole
time of of this world the last thousand
years and then go TOA there are some
people that will not be resurrected but
will go TOA they just don't have the
Merit to be resurrected with the
Dead uh and they uh but there is nobody
that has the Merit to be resurrected but
no no such thing so it's either
resurrected Anda or no Resurrection but
Yesa Yesa yes next
one yes so um I was curious I have a
neighbor who um cleans
crime
the he said thatw have to be so may be
curious about what happens a person is
or
not so to tells us that there are two
parts to you you have the nsh you have
the soul which in itself has several
parts and you have the
body in the that in the series
called I believe it's within the first
10 I think it was I believe off top of
my head maybe sh number six in that
Series in the beginning of the sh we
have a whole section that talks about
something
called translates to beatings of the
grave of what happens to the body and
the soul in the grave before they even
go to the bed of Heaven and the anguish
that a person has to go through if they
made
sins uh now if a person goes through
there goes through that beatings of the
Grave then goes up to the bed then they
make the Judgment of whether they going
to ganeden or
Gom uh sometimes they'll go to Gom for a
temporary period of time then go to
ganeden sometimes they'll go to uh to
Gom permanently sometimes they'll go to
ganeden and then go to Gom and then back
to ganeden which is a question of its
own
now a person that did not get
buried because he was cremated and now
he's on a uh Starbucks cup on some on
top of somebody's
counter or uh or a person that simply
was a not buried for other strange
reasons like in India they don't bury
bodies in some communities they just
take the bodies and they put them on
some little raft and send them into the
ocean send them into the river so
there's another tribe of Indians over
there that they go to the bottom of the
ocean and eat the
bodies so and they use that tum from the
bodies to create all types of Witchcraft
yes lots of interesting things exist in
the world R it's not just
America
now these people that have not been
buried their soul can never be
rested until they're
buried until they're buried the body's
buried until the ashes are buried and
all of the bodies consumed their soul
can never rest so in essence by
cremating people or not burying them in
some other way I don't know freezing
them or something like that you're
simply torturing the person and the
person hates you permanently until you
get him out of there that's why I find
it very interesting that
a as I told you guys a couple of times
that
hasem punishes measure for measure and
he had a Jewish person by the name of
Albert Einstein that lived something
like 60 70 80 years ago was a very smart
person when it comes to science and math
but a complete idiot when it comes to
God and he used the gift that God gave
him to do things that are not exactly
for God he wasn't a good husband and he
wasn't even a good
person um if you read some of the things
about his bio and how he treated his
wife he was a complete complete an utter
disaster of a human being with horrible
horrible traits but he he was an
intellectual in regard to uh secular
wisdom but hasem did not give him that
brain for secular wisdom he gave him
that brain to do the servitude of hem
since he did not use it he did not use
this precious gift what was his clear
punishment aside from the other things
he's going to get something that you
could see with your own eyes his
brain is still surfacing around the
world and it's sliced up to a many many
pieces and it's in different
universities one of the universities
that has on display is Princeton
University which means that Albert
Einstein till this day is not getting
rest
why says measure for measure I used your
I gave you a brain to serve me you used
your brain to go against me so the
measure for measure your brain will give
you no rest point being a side from
scaring you it's also to show you that
Hashem is a god he's not a friend and he
gives us a unlimited opportunity to get
reward there's so many opportunities for
you to get good that it's simply
ludicrous that somebody would go against
theem and that's
why calls the
people a stupid
people why if you sin against hem you're
stupid I'm not talking about sinning
accidentally or sinning you know
temporarily and trying to overcome it
it's pretty much sinning because you
don't care
that stupid why you're messing with God
and you're only going to find out when
it's too
late next
question yes little bit complicated your
questions both
always I have to study just for your
questions FL the
no
right does it mean that the death the
death that the person suffers by the
hand of
serves as an atonement and he doesn't
have like bad as a punishment ah it's
very very good question so at the time
of s part of the repentance of a person
is the uh death penalty that would get
to because they would suffer uh does the
death in this world that Hashem brings
on serve as also a part of suffering uh
part of the TRU of a person and that
depends it depends on the person and it
depends on the death uh a strange and
unusual death
is definitely part of the repentance of
a person it definitely counts as
something so for example if somebody
gets murdered or somebody gets into a
car crash or something like that or some
Ty of unusual death uh then uh for sure
that's go that counts as a uh very
significant atonement for certain things
I had a very very dear friend who was
actually
sh person and the only lawyer I've ever
met that was
honest uh his named was Larry
Krauss he's a very very good person and
may this be
for and for for
hisat and Larry Krauss was a good friend
of mine and like I said an honest lawyer
and a from Jew and um one day I got the
horrible news one of the worst things I
heard in my life which is that on his
way home from uh from Shabbat fromet
there were was a storm him and another
guy were walking and there was a storm
and there was a lightning that hit the
tree and a tree fell and killed both of
them killed both of them now there's
some more details that happen there that
are extremely gruesome but the point
being is this is what's
considered a strange death a tree
falling on a person is a strange death
it's a strange death uh so that
definitely counts as a
uh significant uh price to pay uh for uh
for for a person uh and and to repent
for part of their sins doesn't
necessarily repay for all of their sins
but for part of their sins and we also
see that uh there is a some people in
the tanak for example the says there
were
some that were a king that was
aash and uh he made some sins but then
he did chuv but still there was some
sins left in his account so what was a
uh say what was his repentance the fact
that when his son after he died instead
of honoring him his son desecrated his
body in order to make sure that
everybody thinks that knows that he's
the king now he didn't allow him to be
buried he tied him to horses and had him
dragged throughout all the cities until
all of his body members were completely
all over the place and his body was
completely desecrated and that uh
strange and unusual burial actually
helped him repent for a lot of different
things that he did during his life so
these types of things Unfortunately they
do cause the soul suffering it's not
painless like even though the the the
dead body doesn't say ow it is suffering
the says that a pin inside a living
body is not as painful as a pin like a
needle inside a dead body meaning the
soul suffers a lot more 60 times more
when you stab it when it's dead then
when it's alive even though you don't
see the person say oh cuz he's dead
suffering you just don't see it
suffering so that strange and unusual
death that strange and unusual burial
that desecration that disrespect all of
that stuff is a sign of significant
value for that person uh and many of
them get to even enter ganeden as a
result of it get to enter ganeden as a
result of it next
yes
that yes they teach
everything except for the fear of Heaven
fear of Heaven they teach also what do
you mean everything is at the hand of
Heaven
except oh
yes yes now
with
this says someone was born Shabbat as to
shabbat because you know people know war
on sh you know to techically he didn't
know he didn't choose because you know
CH a day supposedly because everything
at the end of Heaven chose the day was
was going to be born how does how does
that work okay so this this has to do
with so you're asking if everything is
from heaven accept the fear of Heaven
how come a person has to be somewhat I
guess a uh uh punished if you will for
being born on Shabbat he didn't choose
to be born on Shabbat so first off it's
not a guarantee that he will die on
Shabbat it's not a guarantee it's just
that this is something that can happen
because of that uh it is a more likely
possibility so if it's let's say one out
of seven for somebody else for this
person let's say it's three or four or
five out of seven but it's not
100% that we know from nature people
born in Shabbat don't die in Shabbat but
the second thing is also remember your
soul is not in this world for the first
time your soul is not in this world for
the first time your soul has been here
anyone that hasn't watched should watch
the uh movie by
RAB called life after death uh if you
want I also have some of the DVDs uh
that I can bring next week you just have
to remind me if you want to watch it on
a DVD I have the DVDs it's a
fantastic uh movie film that uh is full
of different types of evidence uh of
what uh of life after
death showing that reincarnation exists
famous stories from different scientists
and psychiatrists and all types of uh uh
news uh outlets and so
on from there we we already know from
the Torah that life after death exist
and life before death also
exist um
but science has already confirmed it
there's a whole uh area of science
called parch par parapsychology yeah PR
psychology uh that uh delves into this
subject
now and deals with people that remember
their previous life and know different
languages even though they never they
never knew them before and so on and so
forth so now when a person leaves this
world but has not completed their tun
has not completed their mission in the
world and they have to in essence come
back to this world that previous account
that they have does have an influence on
when they're going to come to this world
and how they're going to come to this
world so for example Thea writes that
sometimes people come to the world
blind or sometimes they come to the
world deaf or sometimes they come to the
world as without arms or legs or they
come to the world as someone that's
completely uh you know unable to
communicate like uh a uh certain type of
autism there's some type of autism that
makes the person very
functional uh but still autistic and
there some that are make them simply not
able to communicate so there are
different ways that people come into the
world and that has to do with their
previous life and there's a very famous
uh video online uh that uh also was
recently publicized by R mrai as well
but this is well known already from you
know was produced by other people of a
guy that was a severe case of autism and
was only able to communicate through a
special computer and uh he communicates
with people and there's several cases
like this and uh they ask him
uh why did you come to the world like
this that's the autistic person why did
you come to the world like this and he
says because I did something really bad
and he said what did you do he said I
said bad things uh I
said so I came not able to
speak and uh so they said to him he said
one time I said one time I didn't say
his whole life one time I said so I came
back like this so they asked them uh are
you suffering he said yeah I suffer but
uh don't feel bad for me feel bad for
yourself he said why he says because me
I only have this one thing to fix and
I'm almost done and once I die I'm going
straight to heaven because I'm actually
a sadik I just have this one thing to
fix you have a lot more to fix you have
a lot more fixed so feel bad for
yourself
so have discussed that these types of
people are sometimes very very high
level uh and they are brought in a
certain way for a certain reason
needless to say same concept if a person
is born on Shabbat or on a
any day of the week there's a reason
whyem chose that day for that has to do
with hashem's accounting that has to do
with that person's action has to do with
their overall uh mission in the world
you know there are sometimes people born
in the world and they're only alive for
one day why and it's a specific day cuz
that day is when it was needed after
that it wasn't needed it's again for the
people that are alive that suffer it
it's a uh un un measurable pain
unmeasurable pain but when a person
realizes that there is life after death
there is life before death and these
people that live a very short time span
or something like that are actually
special
holy that came to the world for a unique
Mission and they are now in ganeden I
have a person that I know a very special
couple that uh uh had a child suffer
from the minute he was born and we
mentioned his name several times this
baby had so many different surgeries I
mean it would break your heart you see
this kid a little baby cutest little
thing suffering day after day day after
day and all types of surgeries then he
got good and then he got bad and he died
uh when I believe he was only two and a
half years old something like that but
literally every minute of his life was
like some type of suffering now when I
saw this
couple I was so I got such from them
just by looking at them from them I I
did CH by looking at them they came to
my Shi when I went to New York and I
already knew them from before but that
was the first time I met them in person
I get just by looking at them why they
understood
completely why this happened in essence
meaning that this n is a righteous n
it's a tadik that right now is in
ganeden so yes they're suffering that
they lost their sonm ISO but when they
you think about the overall picture from
the Torah perspective and you realize
that this pure beautiful is in ganeden
you're going to get the seed in ganeden
one day so he's enjoying himself he's
not having to deal with any surgeries
anymore and on top of that that
suffering that you have has repented for
tons and tons of of of of of sins that
you've made during this life or previous
life whatever it is meaning there's an
enormous
value that you are getting for this
enormous uh uh suffering but the value
you're going to get in the end is much
more than the suffering because the
suffering is temporary the value getting
is
permanent they were completely in full
understanding of it and to see such a
precious Jew like that is amazing but
that's only found in a Jew that keeps to
the highest level to the highest level
why you cannot get to this mindset
naturally or psych psychologically can't
can't so that's the thing when a person
understands that there is reincarnation
there is a judge there's a jury there's
ganeden there's Gom and so all of these
different parts they understand that
there's more to the world than what you
see with your naked eye and therefore we
should focus on our responsibility and
not necessarily do all of the accounting
forem and his responsibility we worry
about our business he worries about his
business and it all works out in the of
last question and then we're going to
call it the uh
Knight
yes that
callu is that is that a spirit thing
that you've been there for real and
something like that yes in the uh in the
SE the coming Revolution by Rabbi zamir
Cohen or it's also called science comes
of age that's part of our Kyu package uh
there's a section about reincarnation
that also discusses Deja Vu and Deja Vu
can and most likely is a uh uh a
reminder that you were in this place
your n is connected to that place in
somewhere or another from a previous
Carnation from a previous life it's not
for not that you have a clear and vivid
memory of being at a certain place a
clear and vivid memory of uh you know of
a certain person sometimes you meet
certain people and for no reason
whatsoever you just love this person you
love them you you're connected to them
you spoke for five minutes but you feel
like you know this person for a thousand
years
I know that with my wife God bless her I
know we're connected from all
M I know that but don't tell I told you
she ask for most kid she knows but so so
I mean it's it's it's clear as day clear
as day some people that's the way they
are some people the exact opposite of
they repel each other he just looks at
his face and he hates him for no reason
no no reason he just hates him can't
stand him can't stand him like
allergic why what happened has to do
with
it your knows everything remember
it's it's a piece of the Divine it knows
the full picture it's
restricted by your body it's restricted
by your body it's restricted to time and
space it's restricted to certain amount
of knowledge and so on and so forth so
it doesn't mean that the soul doesn't
feel it though Soul still feels so once
in a while gives the body a
little gives him a little hint of
certain things yeah sure absolutely
absolutely last last one was a short one
no somebody didn't ask any
questions in the back someone didn't ask
any questions okay you're like a new
person fine you can you're allowed
you're allowed to ask you're asking good
questions I apologize it's not exactly a
short question I'm an artist and a
fiction writer I like high f I've always
wanted to use that Medium por but um I
want to do it in a closer way so I've
wondered for a long time um what kind of
laws do artists and creators need to be
aware of as they're making pieces
specifically on a graphic
novelist get what like comic books
things like
that okay so a a person needs to be very
careful when it comes to their vocation
regardless of what it is number one to
make sure like you're saying to make
sure that it's a kosal
profession two make sure that it is not
connected to idolatry and three to try
to stay away from certain professions
even if they're
permissible for
example a cross a cross by itself is not
forbidden unless it was worshiped a
cross it's not forbidden unless it was
worshiped there's even one that writes
about
CH about that actually was gifted uh by
a certain King was gifted a cross and
anytime you would meet with this King he
would wear
it why because for him this cross was
just a uh respect for the king and a a
gift and was for beauty and so on and it
had nothing to do with idolatry had
nothing to do with idolatry and it was
allowed for him to wear
it but would you be allowed to go by a
cost right now absolutely not absolutely
not why there different things but a
cross by itself if you're allowed to
draw a cross yes you are should you
no no now if the cross was woried
automatically it's forbidden
automatically it's forbidden permanently
you can't fix it which means whether
it's a cross with Yos you know looking
like some sheep on it or it's a cross by
itself doesn't really make that much of
a difference bottom line is if it was
worship ccept forbidden if it's just a
drawing of that idiot looking like some
shish kebab on top of the
Cross and somebody just has it and
thinks this is Art it's not forbidden by
itself not but it's still not
recommended for you to deal with it at
all so what if you design crosses are
you allowed to design crosses if you're
designing crosses for the sake of art
let's say for let's say the Red Cross or
some type of Institution or some Ty of
medallion for something that's not being
worshiped it's not religious allowed but
you still shouldn't do it but if it's to
be sold to the Christians and the
Catholics forbidden altogether forbidden
altogether either way not recommended
but there is a stage where it's
completely forbidden so a person needs
to know there are certain things when it
comes to fiction and comics and and all
of that stuff that is forbidden
completely and some that's not
recommended so for example if the book
or the art is imod forbidden
completely so I remember in my sinful
days there was a video game called
laracroft which is some that pretends to
be a superhero so why do they like her
because she was a p she was an e modest
woman now the artist of of that if
somebody decides that I'm going to make
art from this every single time somebody
plays that he's going to make
sense every single time so that person
is in serious serious trouble so that
type of art completely forbidden
completely forbidden let's say art for
the C Catholic Church painting their
Saints and their uh and that completely
forbidden completely forbidden what
about things like uh I don't know
Pikachu these a little strange creatures
or something uh like Mario Brothers or
something like that that's not forbidden
that's not for bidden that's allowed but
again a person needs to try to stay away
from things that are allowed but still
destructive so for
example video games video games are a
destructive force why they're addictive
and a person can sit there playing video
games for 10 12 14 hours straight
without even realizing it without I
remember as a kid we some whenever we
play video games you sit there for tick
tick tick tick tick tick tick for hours
hours Atari Nintendo the first one and
Sega Genesis and the first PlayStation
and Playstation 2 and three and 17
whatever it is all these different
things hours and hours and hours and
hours in front of this machine wasting
your life completely so this is although
you can find some that will be lenient
with certain games and certain things no
one will be lenient with the T with a
wasting of time and unfortunately video
games are a very very addictive thing so
therefore even if you could find a p
that says it's allowed which you most
likely won't but let's say you do it's
still not recommended still not
recommended why because it's simply a
bad business which means that if you are
in that business find new business find
new business why because when it comes
TOA you should try to have it completely
complet completely clean you don't even
want to have a dust a dust of something
not Kosher so does that make it a little
more difficult to make money sometimes
uh for certain people but in reality
when a person knows that Hashem is the
one that runs the world they're never
going to
lose it may look like you're losing in
the beginning but you're never going to
lose in the end so whatever you're doing
whatever Graphics that you're doing it's
it's again it all depends on the
specific content itself I'd have to
review it I'd have to go with a pro try
to get the overall scope of this
specific art itself or this specific
issue itself and let you know more of a
direct answer on that but generally
speaking it's again there are some
things that are forbidden completely
some things are allowed but not
recommended and some things are allowed
some things are allowed how you can make
Torah Comics you there are plenty of
comics and different magazines that are
based on Torah they're connected it's
still Action Figures it's still all
types of things because of the Modern
Age and people want something and
there's a spy and there is a I don't
know some other uh super guy or what all
types of different things but overall
kosher and they connected a Torah and
they call the guy Mitzvah man or
something like that and this is Tred to
encourage the kids to connect to the
Torah in another way learn another story
in another way uh and these things are
not only allowed but they are a Mitzvah
like for example there is a uh
a very famous artist who's about Chua
his name is Gadi palak gy palak is the
most sought after Jewish artist in the
world right now to the extent where you
simply can't get him like it doesn't
matter what the price is you can't get
him why they're literally hiding him
can't get to him can't get to him he's
that sought after his art is just
exceptional it's something out of this
world he's
unbelievable as far as his talent but
also
he's like he doesn't draw stuff from his
imagination he draw stuff based on a
mid he draw stuff based on so if you see
for example the a that I suggested to
you guys the cats a if you see that a
and you see what the mid says you'll see
the the mid inside the drawing he didn't
just make the lion look like this or be
there just out of his imagination
he put the mid the Torah and he drew the
Torah so and he did this many times
there's also another one named yon I
forget his last name and they made
different things they used their talents
to make do different beautiful things in
the Torah world uh there's also a uh a
series of
books uh that teaches character traits
uh the uh about it says what is it
called the island of uh
of good midot and the uh and things of
that nature it's a a series of books
that is for children that are both small
and also 50 years old all types of
children uh because you're going to
learn how to have good midot uh whether
you're a small little you know one foot
or you're six feet tall that'll make a
difference uh because this book is
fantastic because it was not only
written uh by serious Scholars but also
this designed by expert artists that
make it very appealing to the eye very
appealing to the eye so somebody that
does that it's not only a good job but
it's actually a job that's a mitvah it's
a mitvah to do that it's it's it's it's
actually like you're learning Torah and
doing K because people are going to
learn this book kids are going to learn
this book and and actually learn good
midot you have no idea how much reward
you're going to get for such a thing so
that is
fantastic Fant fantastic so a person
that does such a thing that's not only
allowed it's a mitvah so again as you
can see there are different levels
forbidden allowed but not
recommended uh allowed and allowed and
Mitzvah so you have to review things
Case by casee basis what who what when
how but when it comes to uh your job
which is where you spend a lot of your
time you have to make sure it's
pristine don't look for any leniencies
when it comes to work
don't look for that job that's allowed
for only certain types of people when
it's tragedy times don't look for stuff
like that try to do the best you can to
have completely kosher money completely
kosher with no exception and again it
may be an obstacle it may be a very big
difficulty in the beginning but just
like a
made a whole lot more successful after
he did Chua than before he did CH cu the
talent didn't change he was talented
before he's very talented before but he
used all that Talent now to publicize
aem's name he's a whole lot more
successful today than he could ever
imagine himself in the secular World why
because he used that town that hm gave
him to publ A's name and you're never
going to lose by doing that never
never anything else urgent or but again
not 500 questions downstairs
