The Definition of Good and Evil

foreign [Music] about wasting seed and things of that nature I said if it's not allowed to teach this then how come every Jew is obligated to learn about it at least a couple times a year in the power shot that specifically talk about this the second paragraph because of wasting seed so how come Hashem said it's an obligation for a five-year-old to learn about this but what I'm saying is not age when you want me to wait for them to be 30 years old no ruin their life oh but it's there you know it's uh maybe you should teach it one-on-one yeah one-on-one by the time you finish Michelle's gonna come 10 times she's not gonna have anybody to save so the point is that people are so uncomfortable with uh with this topic not because it's an inappropriate topic but rather because they've never heard anybody else talk about it it's gotten to that point but if you look at the books there's the holy books from just the previous generation you see that there's countless books written about it this countless talked about it there's countless material about it it's just that today it's become almost like a taboo to talk about punishment at all even when I say something simple like for example that according to the Torah in 12 places someone that drives on Shabbat is considered an idol worshiper in the eyes of Hashem this is written 12 times in ital not once not twice 12 times it's the most frequently mentioned sin in the Torah Shabbat so when you mention this it doesn't sound nice why because the guy thinks of himself as Jewish he goes to mcness and he just drives he doesn't think he's driving is a big deal I went to Boca Raton Synagogue for a couple years when I first moved to Florida they have a whole parking lot a whole parking lot just for their Michaelis about to drive in and drive out of and no one says a single thing they have a whole parking lot they're not even they're not they refuse to sell somebody wants to buy the parking lot just to stop people from sinning they don't want to sell it no this is for our members so to helping people sin and this is big synagogue a thousand families the rabbi over there Goldberg is one of the head dynamic in Florida it's not like uh some nobody nobody knows who he is this is one of the most famous people in American Judaism this is all this is all public information now the problem is that when I say something like Shabbat as death penalty in heaven uh Idol worshiping and so on and so forth which is what it says people's no it's not nice to say it's very uh degrading it's very insulting to who who is this insulting to to the Mahala Shabbat good so maybe hopefully stops hopefully stops it hopefully gets insulted realize oh wait a minute I'm insulted I want to check if this guy's right and he checks and he sees oh it's right oh it says he's right again he's right again 12 times he's right seven times fifty times and so on and so forth Hashem said it now you're gonna move in you're going to just repeated it I'm like a parrot you can't blame the mailman for your mail all I did is I repeated it so if you're offended by what God Said then I I can't help you you have to find I don't know find a find a different religion or something if you realize this I'm only all I'm doing is just repeating what God said what the said in the name of God there's nothing to be offended whether you're ready to take it on or not that's your business all we are is here to publicize the information in order to make sure that everybody knows there is right and there's wrong in the eyes of Hashem in the eyes of Hashem don't always necessarily agree with our eyes we sometimes think that something is right when Hashem says it's wrong we sometimes think that something is wrong when in the eyes of Hashem it's right for example is there any any way that any one of you can think that killing a baby is a good thing can you just think for a second of any equation that you could say that you know what killing this baby would be a good thing for the world you can't think of it right because you're relatively normal people now what if I told you that Adolf Hitler was also a baby and before he became Adolf Hitler he was just Adolf the little cute little baby because all babies are cute even if they're ugly they're still cute because they're little thank God they're cute so they don't kill them because they cry all the time but they're cute so he was cute and he was a baby and he got sick so his mom Mrs Adolf she took him to to his doctor and a Jewish doctor last minute saved his life now if you were the doctor you were the doctor any of you were the doctor thank you this game is what if any of you are the doctor and you saw a baby and you have a chance to kill it would you kill it no right now what if I told you this baby is going to become Adolf Hitler is going to kill six million of your brothers and sisters including you would you kill it yes yes you kill it right you kill it you're still not going to kill it you're gonna let him kill six million people ah changing I'm telling you he's definitely killed no changes he's killing he say he's got the knife already in his pocket we're playing hypothetical guys play along with me don't make a new equation this is my comic book not yours his kid is going to kill you're gonna kill him or not you're gonna kill him you're ever going to kill him you're all normal Mendy you with me okay you can't kill the kid but he's gonna kill six million people Mandy knows a little talk so he gave us a Torah answer I am now okay logically we could say it's right logically we could say wrong you can fight for both sides the Torah says otherwise says that at the time of me time who saw that one of the most evil things that the Nazis even outdid the the Egyptians even outdid the Nazis was with what they did to babies yeah the skin disease so his necromancers told him that in order for him to get cured he had to bathe in the blood of 150 babies in the morning and 150 babies at night so every day it killed 300 Jewish babies if that wasn't enough these evil Egyptians would force the Jews to meet a certain quota of how many rocks how many bricks they made and if the guy did it if the Jew did not meet that Israelite did not meet the quota instead of putting the Brick in the Wall they'd put the baby in the Wall Alive saw this he saw the little babies little Israelite babies going inside a wall I mean it's just think about it you want to die wanted to die he couldn't take it he couldn't take it and he said I know you know I know everything but please please Hashem let me save this baby what the baby do what the baby do says you get upset with him you question why you do what I do these are evilness but if you want to save one save one at the moment of passion that he wanted to do the good thing guess what he saved the baby he took a baby he was already inside the wall he took the baby saved the baby and he named the baby mikha after what was supposed to happen to him which is Lima he was supposed to get crushed this baby by the Stones so he saved them right before they crossed them now from that moment on that baby grew up and followed everywhere now what does I'm saying he's an evilness what a baby look like cute nashama cute little kid right and a kid learns a little bit she might say oh everybody's cute well as you would have it we go to Egypt fast forward to the ten plagues fast forward we go to Mount Sinai fast forward get the first two Commandments Army says listen every time Hashem talks we die Hashem said the first commandment all of Israel died Hashem resurrected them brought them back to life said the second commandment they couldn't handle it they died literally died Hashem resurrected them then Army says you go talk to him lest we die if because if he talks again we're going to die again you've got to talk to him we're gonna do and then we'll listen meaning you go talk to him then come back to us tell us what to do and then we'll uh we'll figure things out but we can't hear his voice anymore why every time Hashem talks it's so holy we can't handle it our national leaves our body says that every time he would talk the national would leave the body and then Hashem would send a special beautiful smelling Dew that would bring back their National mind to their body Something Beautiful anyway now goes to Mount Sinai he says I'm going there for 40 days 40 nights miscalculates calculates by six hours six hours they think that Michelle Obama was supposed to come back at 12 and he comes back at six now during those 12 six hours to them it's like a lifetime he's been he's been gone for 40 days they think he's supposed to come so now since they have doubt the Satan comes anytime you have doubt in Hashem you're giving an opening to the Satan Satan comes she goes oh yeah is not here you know why right he died yeah he died he shows him some fake movie of how there's some somebody being carried by the angels and so on and so forth so they think oh I can't believe it he died listen we need a new middleman we need somebody to connect us to Hashem so they come to her they her listen make us saw something make us a statue oh somebody crazy no I'm not making anything so so they kill him they kill him they kill her why says what you're not willing to for us to help us service Hashem you're not worth to be alive alone help us out make us something so I don't know they're so passionate they're so into the Mitzvah they're so into Truvada they're so into everything they're not even seeing straight so he said you know what let me just buy time let me just buy time what's the most difficult thing you could ask from people their money their money you ask them to to go climb a mountain they'll climb out you ask them go you know run 19 miles from me so somebody could donate ten dollars they'll run 19 miles say can you donate ten dollars no no I can't donate that's too much 19 miles they can run donate ten dollars they can't so I'll go and do this he says listen nice why don't you guys give me all your gold he figures can take a while for them to get all the gold they can arguing about money and so on and so forth but to his surprise yet Salah was already running wild the guy started taking off all their bracelets all their earrings all their everything and throwing the all the gold at our own now it says okay fine I wasn't expecting to get all this money right away all this gold right away but I'm still okay why if you take all this gold I have to melt it to melt gold anybody knows a little bit about jewelry business takes a lot a lot of very very hot fire first of all and second of all a lot of time to melt the gold to turn it into the little lava that looks like and so on so he says okay okay guys listen throw all the gold Into the Fire he's thinking that by the time this goat is going to melt going to be a few days so he's not worried he knows that Michelle Obama was coming in a few hours he's not worried but to his surprise little mikha the kid the kid comes the kid comes and he has something in his hand that belonged to much what's in his hand before I'm Israel left Egypt they had to deliver on a promise that Ami said that the 12 tribes made to their brother Joseph Yousef said to the brothers listen when you leave Egypt you have to promise me that if I died before all of you that you're going to take my bones to eretizail take my tomb Terrace Israel you have to promise me and everybody promised so much wanted to deliver on that promise that his forefathers made to the Levine made to take uh Yosef out of Egypt problem is that he didn't know what he was because the Egyptians worshiped Joseph Sadiq and they hit his body they hit his tomb so he had to find somebody that actually knew where Joseph Sadiq was was actually buried there was only one person that knew where that was and that was a woman by the name of Sarah the daughter of ashel and the only reason she knew is because she was alive at the time of yourself at Sadiq she was blessed by her grandfather yaakov that she's going to live forever until she goes to heaven so she was already hundreds and hundreds of years old and she was there and she saw and knew exactly where Joseph and Sadiq was actually buried and she told me he's buried inside the Nile River the Egyptians hid his tomb inside the Nile River comes to the Nile River he doesn't have cranes like we have today he doesn't have all that stuff oh he has he has Hashem it's more than enough so he says okay the tomb is here we have to deliver on a promise he takes a mate which is like a piece of metal on one side he engraves the name of Hashem the holy name of Hashem on the other side of it he engraves rise bull rise because each one of the tribes had a symbol Yoda had a symbol of lion Yousef had a symbol of bull she says Rise bull rise and before he threw it he spoke to the National of Yusef he said Yusef I'm here to deliver on the promise of our forefathers either you take yourself out of this River raise the tomb out of the river or you're staying here he threw the mate inside the water and the kadusha from hashem's name made the Tomb come out of the water he took the tomb and left never thinking about what happened to this little piece of metal never thinking that little mija the boy he saved years ago was hiding in the bushes and as soon as he left he jumped into the water and grabbed this little mate grabbed this piece of metal and he had held it now what happens you fast forward to the point of the story that I just mentioned all of the Jews are throwing their gold Into the Fire and little mikha doesn't have anything he doesn't have any gold but he has this little piece of metal so he throws the piece of metal what does the medal say rise Bowl rise what comes out of the fire by itself without being made a bull a bull comes out and from the kadusha of hashem's name being on that mate that bull speaks and it comes out by itself and says I am the god that took you out of Egypt are we still surprised that I'm Israel worshiped it for a little while the dead of God worship that spoke I promise you a bull comes to the shoe and starts talking to us there's a very good chance a few people stop worshiping it I'm done a ball come there's a bull that's dead on Wall Street I used to live on Wall Street I used to live on Wall Street 15 Wall Street 15 Broad Street right in the corner across the street from the New York Stock Exchange on top of the block literally a minute and a half from my house there's a huge bull you know how many people worship it people go there take pictures oh they put it on their walls everywhere they worship this bull this is the bull it's dead if they both started talking more people will come say listen you can save the baby you can use your free choice to save the baby but if I'm killing a baby there's a reason for it because it's not it's baby in body but the nashama is not it's an evilness if I'm killing it there's a reason for it you don't want to trust my reason you want to do something you think you do better how about from here we see that anything that happens in the world that doesn't necessarily agree with our logic doesn't necessarily make God bad husband Shalom doesn't make him evil Shalom doesn't make him wrong it's just that we don't understand the whole picture we just understand one part we understand that the little girl got abused or the little boy got this or the little this or all these things that are crazy happened and yes the people that did it are going to get punished but nonetheless Hashem did it Hashem allowed it for his own reasons that are beyond our comprehension therefore that when we have our desires when we have our yet Sarah even though sometimes it seems like it's too big for us it's not too big for us we just think it is Hashem gave us a test because he knows we can pass it he wouldn't give us a test unless he knew for sure we can pass it no matter how hard how hard we think it is and that's in essence the whole goal of all of the lectures it's to number one remind us that there's a reward for the good that we do there's a punishment for the bad that we do but the definition of good and bad can only be the definition that Hashem has not our own definition now what we determine is good because what we determine is good is flawed many times we have to look constantly at the book and see what does he say is good what does he say is right if he says it's good if he says it's right then you know for sure it's right and it's good but if I said it if you said it if somebody really smart says it 50 50. and that's what we constantly mentioned the sources and we used so on and so forth because we know that if it was written in those books that's the word of God that's the word of God to me to anybody that has a little bit of secret that's as good as it gets it's as good as it can get because you know that's guaranteed guaranteed that even though it may not look good in the beginning in the end it always will be foreign [Music] [Applause]
