The Emunah of A Tzadik - MUSSAR Pirkei Avot (125)

[Music] good to be in Miami we um another we have another Mish we're gonna start a new Mna this Mish is I mean you could go and study this Mish you could study every word of this Mish from now until the end of the world you're not going to finish it all depends really on uh how deep you want to go to I know you say every mishna is special because honestly it's a uh I have to thank you guys for coming to theim and uh because every time prepare for the sh learn these M it's so great it's such pleasure it's like a little bit piece of G because you even I've gone over this before every time it's like a new baby for anyone that ever had kids even if you have two kids already three kids 10 kids let make a difference the new baby is always special that's Torah Tor the more you connect to it every single time even if you learn the same thing again you learned it already a year ago you learned it a week ago you learned it whenever if you learn it deep you go into it not just you read it like it's a you know regular sentence like a traffic light a traffic uh poster of some kind no you read it like you're trying to figure out what what does this mean what does that mean start looking at the uh Rashi start looking at rambam start looking at all the commentaries with these Geniuses these holy people said about it and you see how they get how they take out from the word take out a piece of in each and every single word it's unbelievable how they get this one thing and it's after you see what they say it's like wow yeah of course of course that's what it means before it could slap you right in the face you wouldn't see it because it's we're not them but that's the that's the beauty that's the beauty of of the Torah you learn it and it's like it's like having a baby without carrying it for n months and uh this mishna is a mish that's very special every mishna is special but this one is special because this mishna applies to every human being on Earth that wants to be a sadik that's the sh this is probably going to be more than one sh like we've had the last few M were very long and we did a two three per this most likely will be the same uh but like I said we continue this probably have uh write a book just about this mishna write a whole book about this a series of books just about uh which actually reminds me uh before we start the Mish we uh some developments one big thing is tomorrow is uh going to be official launch of our newsletter uh we're going to try to see if we could do it at least bi-weekly like every two weeks maybe even more often maybe weekly at times but it have uh different sometimes things that we talked about in the sometimes uh things that are not uh from myself from brother frim from uh raban klon uh and uh always several other uh guest rabbis and rabot that uh we work with that we know for sure that these people are these people have to give you different insights that are relevant to the week to the month to life generally what we're going to try to do with this newsletter is try to keep it general not specific for that week only uh because um this makes it more uh sustainable if you let's say for example you miss it you miss one week and you see it the next week and say ah yeah it's already aab last week it's never that's the vi we're going to try to try to do it uh in um something that's General General topics uh most of it is going to be Hebrew with the exception of my part which is going to be English and then if we uh get other people to join us with the English we'll we add to it uh and also bem in uh in Israel uh were almost closed on a uh agreement with one sadik that may print it each time uh donate the uh the printing he runs the print shop to print it and give it out in different places in is Israel we we're looking for someone that's interested in partnering up with us to uh to print these copies print the newsletter each time we come out of it and give it out uh in different communities but and so on anyone that's interested anyone that you know is may be interested please uh feel free to uh connect us it's a lot of Zim in it you know today's world it's a you have to come to am in every way possible you can't just come to them with with uh lectures because some people don't attend lectures I remember I did a uh event in New York one time and uh it was a shabbaton and one of the guys said oh yeah I heard about you and uh just never really watched anything I'm like oh okay you should watch here has a CD I wanted to give him a CD goes no no I don't I don't listen to lectures anymore I'm past that stage he did cha and he uh now he learns from the books now I'm past that stage he goes yeah but I should like go everybody can listen to uh lecture even if you're it's no there no uh those thing is past that stage but either way some people they don't listen to lectures unless they attend them some people they're not going to attend they're only going to listen to a CD some people going to listen on YouTube Some people listen on Torah anytime some people are not going to listen to not this one not that one they're only going to read it so you have to send it to them in a uh something that's readable andm that's why we uh published these different newsletters we also published a couple of books this year already and as actually I just sent the payment to uh to a Umba in Israel to meet in in Israel that's republishing a book from the rabbi of the uh one of the great from over 200 years ago a book that's been out of print for a couple 100 years he's republishing itm with a few additions and insights in there andm it's going to come out uh hopefully in the next couple of weeks so another publication um and uh there's a few movies in the works that are going to come out very soon and a few other really big surprises coming right after T few really big surprises will come out right after T so with that being said this we can talk about development and all things forever but key is to know that all of these uh people that uh donate to they the beauty of it is that you see dividends right away you see stuff actually happening and it's not like a uh oh I donate $100 but I don't really know what happens you know it's uh I don't know what happens I donate a 100 bucks I donate a th000 bucks I donate uh whatever I and uh yeah you know they posted some things online I don't know nothing changed you see every week every month there's something new more sh more videos more movies more books more CDs more projects uh more more C packages for free a lot of things happening we literally spend every single penny we can to make sure there's more tah in the world that's the uh that's the thing and even the some cute that were sweet people like that we work with in they want to give they barely make 500 bucks a month they want to give why you want to give keep the money for yourself struggling goes no this ises this is like bet mikdash go this is the only organization we know 100% of the money goes to toah some unbelievable it's to be involved to be involved uh and for all the haters that're always looking to to count my money like my whole life people like to count my money you should be you shouldn't be too concerned I haven't taken a penny from since day one in fact we put money into it the little bit that we had uh because people always say oh no no he's getting rich that's why he's doing it he's getting rich off he's getting rich off of people's donations at least once a week I get one of these one of these nice comments on YouTube or on Facebook spoke yeah yeah no he's getting rich that's that allbody is like it's money so it's important to know what you're donating your money to it's very important to know why you don't need remain money to and there's a lot of Tora there's a lot of Tora that we have to share now the shim that we've had over this last couple of years of doing this series have gone deeper and deeper into M deeper and deeper into talking about deeper and deeper into identifying the truth from the she the from the she trying to learn how to determine what am I allowed to say what am I not allowed to say what am I allowed to read what I'm not allowed to read who I'm allowed to listen to who I'm not allowed to listen to Because looks can be very deceiving sometimes you'll see a guy where wearing a big talit and a big keeper and he has a beard and he's a priest in a church the Messianic Judaism Church which is all Christians so you look at him he looks like he just came back from the cotel in reality the guy's not even Jewish sometimes you go toet and you see the guy that looks the most religious he wears black and white and he has a hat and he has a be and everything else and you want to count for M you know some of these they don't have a lot of people you barely get 10 sometimes like oh one two three okay we got 10 no no no the Rabbi says no no we don't have 10 one two three four not the count of people count the keeper go you count again maybe you missed it one two 3 four five 10 You Can Count doesn't matter what age you my little daughter my little baby knows count to 10 so he like 10 goes we don't have 10 eight so you think something's wrong this happened a few times 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 RAB says no we have eight why what's the matter because you see those two people what the two rabbis he goes yeah the two rabbis they're not Jewish what do you mean they're not Jewish they look like they just came out of the the oil oil right now they got the outside they got got the Hat they got the be they got everything what do you mean they're not Jewish goes no they're not Jewish so why do they look Jewish because they want to be Jewish okay so what's the problem making them Jewish because oh well they still uh they like the clothing they like the clothing to change the clothing is very easy but the MIM the acts the a little more difficult why one of them has to divorce his wife who is a uh uh a advocate for Christianity another guy is homosexual another guy he's not ready to keep Shabbat another guy still lives in the uh in the projects with all the go another guy is still is in love with eating pig another guy you have in almost every community that I've been in there's at least one or two of these people they look more Jewish than all of us but they're not Jewish so today more than ever in history looks can be deceiving sometimes you see a guy doesn't look like he even knows next thing you know he said you know what you want to be you want to be a Kazan sure what a voice what a prayer you start crying the guy is barely doesn't even look religious he has you know one of those keyo that you got from a Mitzvah but he starts reading with all the kavana such a beautiful voice such a beautiful prayer so looks can be deceiving just because he's wearing jeans doesn't mean he's a just because he's wearing black and white doesn't mean he's a Jew now even though some of this stuff is hard to hear it's a reality it's the reality that we face today you can't just let your kids marry anybody just because they say they're Jewish you have to have proof who's your father who's your mother who's the who's the rabbi you have to find out why because a lot of people think they're Jewish and they're not now even more so regardless of whether somebody is or isn't regardless of somebody is secular or is religious one thing that everyone wants unless they're anti tah which it's a different person different sh for them everybody wants to be a sadik everybody wants to be a sad why like wow you think you think somebody big deal people kiss his hand every time he comes start kissing his hand sadik everybody wants to be sadik why because you feel like sadik is closer to hem someone sad you feel like he's closer to hem why talks to him all day if he's really sadik not fake sadik if he's really sadik talks to all day through learning through praying through actions and so on and so forth everybody wants to be sadik you feel like the guy that's a sadik he has all the answers I remember when I first met R frim and we had a few conversations and I ran to my wife who was always a big advocate of me learning t even though we weren't exactly close to T or and I told her he has the answers she goes which answers I said everything she goes good from now on no one's allowed to talk to you when you're talking to him she became my bodyguard every Thursday 4:00 the door to my office shut no one's allowed to call me no one's allowed to come bother me for nothing until I'm finished most many times conversation was seven hours seven hours sh were talking you think this year is long seven hours year every Thursday every question you could possibly imagine questions I didn't even know I had you figure you do seven hour series of questions one time you finish with all your questions okay you have a lot two sh seven hours three nine months and it continued for till this day but but the point is is that I came to my wife I told he's the one that has he has the answers he has the answers for what for everything why found this the person actually looked it up he checked it he has a source he's not giving me his opinion he's the sadik I've been looking for a lot of people came to my office they pretended to be sadik a few times they were decent people but not few times they were pretending to beik but hasem had mercy on me and introduced me to a sadik so you feel that when you find someone that has the answers you ask him a question about he has the answer he has a question about business he has the answer you have a question about health he has the answer you have a question abouta issues different struggles you're dealing with can't find this can't do this can't do this you all these things always there's an answer something special everybody wants to be the guy though but we think all of us think that to be a sadik is impossible it's only for certain people you have to be born that way if you're born a sadik good if you're not you're like the rest of us losers what what can we do we're not that's what we think that's what wants us to think we're losers the wants us to think we cannot beik the wants to make us think think that to be a sadik is for somebody else that was born from with the keeper inside his mom's stomach he had a keeper on already with the the wants us to think that to be aad you have to go to for a thousand years you have to you know sleep with the on your head that's what the wants you to think but sometimes the comes to you in a different way complete opposite yet wants you to think if you read one book you're sadik you came to one sh two sh three sh you're sadik you're good no no I already know what you're gonna say I already know what you're gonna say one time I gave a sh in Florida in uh bookon and uh they invited me to some house they wanted to do sh over there new group of people and one of the people that was in the crowd was driving me crazy the whole time why the whole time I'm talking and as you know when you talk when you're in this position you talk you see everybody you see everything so it's also as a speaker you speak for a long time you learn how to read the crowd you learn how to read people you see the comments you see the fa you don't have to talk I see the face I see certain things oh it affected him affected her affected this affected that okay I see certain things people are falling asleep okay I have to change I have maybe say a joke I have to maybe say a story you you see people's faces this one wasn't making faces this one was making uh a whole event a whole event what he was doing every time I would say something he would go like this the whole I'm not I'm not even exaggerating I exaggerate a lot this is one of those times I'm not exaggerating the whole time he's like as I'm saying my point he's moving his hands like it's I don't know what it is all I know is like he's like he's like you know like like the guy with the the choir like this he's like directing my speech or something like that and it's bothering me but it's also bothering other people and I come up to the point and he's like this it's like a whole thing imagine almost two hours like this he didn't stop for a second so finish the sh then you know people come up to the end and I uh I was very interested to see what this guy say he goes oh yeah yeah no I was uh everything you said I just said it right before I said what what do you mean you said it before because yeah I was talking to a few people before everything you said I said the same thing everything everything you said everything I said I said the same thing everything said I said the same thing everything I said everything I said how come you didn't give the sh here was different Sho everything said I know the whole thing the whole thing what you're going to say so I didn't know it until I said it you already knew before me na you know it's the first time you think it's the last time you know how many times happened to me people live in a like a different world sometimes people have such a that the yet convinces them that instead of toiling for Tora and working day and night they could get it from one sh they listen to One sh two sh five sh 10 she they read 1 2 3 4 5 10 books sadik sadik why because to look like a sadik it's very easy because today our perception of a sadik is based on his exterior if he has payers already he's 50% more righteous than the rest of us if he's got a beard add another 15% if he's got a book in front of him he's already at 90 he speaks Hebrew he's 150 yeah but he's Christian no it's okay M that's why by the way the most dangerous missionaries Christian missionaries in the world are Jewish people and in some cases Israelis because they fool the entire Christian world that they're actually really righteous and really knowledgeable because they speak a little bit of Hebrew now the Christians don't know the difference of what's right and wrong in Hebrew they don't speak the language so if the guy tells them a certain word means something they say yeah of course you just came back from Mount saai little they know the guy just uh said that g is the same thing as mitvah or something instead of ice cream like completely like he doesn't know what he's talking about but they don't know either so it's the fool leading the blind so looks can be deceiving looks can be very very deceiving to be a sadik is not something that you can do in one day or one hour it's a decision you can make in a second to try to be one but to actually achieve it takes a lot more time how much time depends how much effort you have now who Among Us can be a sadik this is exactly what this mishna is going to tell us who can be a sadik and how do we do it m says the following this is he 522 abah AB [Music] as you've noticed this is probably the longest mishna as far as length of the uh mishna itself in the entire Series so far we'll translate Whoever has the following three traits is among the Disciples of our for forefather aam and whoever has three different traits is among the Disciples of B the wicked bam so here the mishna already starts says you want to be like one of the tal the disciples the protes of abam you need these three things you want to be a t of bam you need these three things depend you want to be sadik these three things what you need you want to be R these three things what you need now if you notice it didn't say the Disciples of abah ainu have these three things it didn't say that what did it say whoever has these three traits is automatically a disciple of ab I didn't say whoever learns a lot of Torah and does this and does this he's a whoever is a Jew whoever is a no no it says whoever meaning call everyone that's on Earth Jews non-jews this literally applies to everyone if you have these three traits that are abrah ain's traits you are tal you are prote of abrah ainu you're tadik if you don't and you have the opposite then you are a disciple of bilam even if you finish the sh the enti even if you go to call all day even if you have a beard that reaches the floor and a hat that reaches the sky you wear male female Jew non-jew irrelevant these are three foundational principles that either make you tadik or but what kind ofad the greatest sadik or the biggest very very extreme fanatic type of mishna we're talking about you're either going to be AB Oram the worst person on Earth so those how what are they those who have which literally means good eye which obviously we're going to describe what that means a good eye a humble spirit and an undemanding Soul are the Disciples of our forefather abam those who have an evil eye an arrogant spirit and a greedy Soul are the Disciples of B the wicked belam now how are the Disciples of abam different from the disciples ofam this is kind of a strange question what do you mean how they're different is this one uh was his wife was a donkey what do you mean how's it different you'll see what he's what the mishna is already telling us off the bat looks can be very deceiving why sometimes the guy looks like he's a disciple he looks exterior he looks like he's related to but in reality he's Bam's number one employee so he's saying what's the difference between them meaning that looks the exterior you're not going to be able to say from the exterior you're not going to be able to tell the difference of Who's Who from the exterior so what's the difference the Disciples of our forefather Abraham enjoy the fruits of their good deeds in this world and inherit the world to come as it it said in Proverbs 8:21 to cause those who love me to inherit an everlasting possession referring to allaha and I will fill their storehouses which is referring to this world which of course we're all going to explain all of these things at some point in the series but the Disciples of bamas bam the wicked inherit Gom and descend into The Well of Destruction notice that when it says G no it doesn't say they're just embarrassed and it's not comfortable and it's a washing machine they don't say they say things that sound kind of painful the wicked belam inherit Gom and descend into The Well of Destruction as it it says in Psalm 5524 and you oh God shall lower them into the well of Destruction men of Bloodshed and deceit shall not live out half their days but as for me I will trust in you very long mishna a couple of verses but literally you see right off the bat this is something that if you if you dissect every single world word you can change your life with it so first and foremost like I said the mishna starts with a very interesting Way by saying anyone anyone literally meaning anyone Jew non-jew male or female anyone that has these three things they're going to make something out of themselves so the Mish makes this introduction before telling us about the character traits themselves saying that anyone has these three things instead of saying these are the three things that they have or uh you know being uh humble being undemanding Soul having a good eye is what you need to have in order to be it says first and foremost you should know you should know anyone that has these three things is one of The Descendants one of the proteges of showing us that there is this is a little bit different than the previous Mish that told us about good traits versus bad traits because these specific three traits are so extraordinary if you actually have them or you try to attain them they're so big that they are the foundation of all good in the world you can build on top of these three to fix every single one of your me every one of your midot using if you have these three you can fix everything else if you have these three you're already in G in this world with suffering with struggles with ups and downs and so on and so forth you are in a different world you are in the world of theim on the other hand if you don't have them it's not great but it's much much worse if you have the opposite because if you have the opposite it's the root of all evil so here the mishna is trying to explain to us right off the bat that in order to teach that a possesses these three virtues the Disciples of abam possess these three virtues in order to teach that the the possessions alone are sufficient in order to reach Perfection as a student of abrah ainu and that all positive character traits are subdivisions of these three specific midot so if you possess one of one of the one of these attributes and you lack you know you possess let's say something else that's positive good it's good you possess the other one but that still won't make you a sadik by itself whereas if you possess one of these you're already 30% of the way to being a sadik now is the one that says that that the reason why it says we co is because even non-jews can aspire to be considered followers of Abraham as it's written in Genesis 17:4 aah was called the father of a multitude of Nations who who taught monotheism the belief in a single God and proper ethical development he's the beginning of Learning M we learned from abah ainu he's the one that was the first official kiru Rabbi in the world and he made millions of people do chuva but unfortunately the Tor says that they all went off the with the exception of a single so say wow this must be a horrible experience for ainu must uh felt sad that he worked on all these people did Chua they come to the house do this do that teach him this this and then they go off the D they go back to being Idol worshippers you must feel terrible says no why if he taught them the truth and they kept it good he benefits they benefit he has more mitv every time they make a mitvah they have mitv every time they make a mitvah meaning every mitvah is now two double but if not if they come he tells them the truth he tells them you're not allowed to drive on Shabbat he tells them they're not allowed to be IM modest he tells them all the truth of what you're allowed to eat and what you're not allowed to eat and they decide they don't feel like listening to him anymore they started listening and then they stopped or they just don't want to listen at all whichever it is all of their goes to him so there's nothing that he needs to be sad about yes in this world you're sad you see one of your T you know going off the D it breaks your heart because you tried so much wow I invested two three four five years into this guy I can't believe it he started going out with a Goya I can't believe it he started eating shrimp I can't believe he's doing all these things I invested so much time into him Hashem says okay you're going to feel a little sorrow in this world that's fine but you should know you don't shouldn't have any sorrow why every Jew has a share of the world to come is the verse that says all of have a share of the world to come but it uses a verse that's from the prophet Isaiah it says and your nation are they're all to teach us who is who is called is who's called is is it everyone is it like we think it's everyone no it's theim called is the one that are keeping shab keeping keeping the ones that are keeping they're the ones that will be that have a share of the world to come so what happens about the rest of them what about the you knowem gave them he made room for them in what happens to their share everybody comes to this world with a ticket everyone is born to a Jewish mom comes here with a ticket to what to Allah now if they keep MIT when they come back upstairs there a take it back so enter right over here ma'am enter right over here sir welcome to on the other hand if the person does not keep he comes up to sh and he gives him a ticket he like I'm sorry sir this has been used already what used that's why it's in my hand the whole time seven years I'm holding it in my hand I kept it in the safe in my $200 million Villa no no sir somebody already used this ticket it's like a bus ticket you know in the old days they used to make not like today there's a digital the old old days you used to have the bus tickets the toe and they would make holes in them they would punch holes and every time you had let's you bought let's say 10 tickets and every time you used it they took uh made one hole and second hole and third hole after you made all the 10 Hol that's it you have to get something else so now this guy came up to sh says look all there's 10 holes in it that's it it's been used he says by who oh remember that lecture you went the guy that that guy from Wall Street told you keep Shabbat you said no no he doesn't what he's talking about and he kept driving on Shabbat yeah yeah he used it just now he just came here 20 minutes ago you know but he has a share no no he got a bigger share now he had a share now he has a bigger share why he told you the truth he didn't want to listen that's your problem the ticket has to be used we can't give it to you so even though all of the people all of the that did CH in the generation of went off the didn't lose a scent why he got all of their IM imagine getting a million people's we get one he got a million 10 million but here we see that abam taught people monotheism he he taught them M so by subscribing to this moral code expressed in this mishna even a non-jew can become a disciple of Abraham ainu now a disciple of abrah ainu does not mean that they're a Jew just means that they are tal they're a disciple they're righteous they could say I am living my life in accordance to the truth be told is that people most people that want to invest all of their time and effort to do and fulfill this mishna is what we're going to talk about and become a disciple of aino most likely will end up converting and the reason why is because the more you learn about Hashem the more you fall in love with him the more you fall in love with hem the more you fall in love with his MIT and you realize that how every single Mitzvah that you do gives you an opportunity to connect to hem every single thing that happens in your life you see it as an opportunity to talk to hasem so who wouldn't want more opportunities instead of talking to hasem only a handful of times a day now you can have you can talk to hem a thousand times a day so someone that wants to be like Abu with the certain exceptional cases where it's impossible for a person to convert because of certain extreme situations at some point or another these people will end up converting anyway but nonetheless this mishna specifically tells tells us that to be a disciple of ainu can be done by a Jew and a non-jew that of course means you have to leave all forms of idolatry whether it be Christianity or Buddhism or even believing in that your Rabbi is a god whatever it is idolatry comes in all forms it also comes in the form of money it also comes in the form of sex it also comes in the form of sports it also comes in the form of clothing some people are so into their looks that they literally spend 15 20 minutes in front of a mirror in between bathroom sessions I'm not talking about a self-conscious teenage girl that uh hopefully is hoping to get married one day and so on I'm talking about grown men grown men spend 20 minutes a half hour doing their hair in the morning you have nothing else to do with your life so it's also healthy for a marriage for the husband to spend so much time on his looks that he looks better than his wife it's very unhealthy by default it'll make his wife subconscious uh self-conscious why because he spends so much time looking at himself she feels that if he spends as much time looking at me as he looks at himself he's probably going to find something wrong with me know once in a while you wake up you have a little zit over here you have a little scratch over here you have a white hair here you have you look sometimes you gain a few pounds you lose a few pounds this that she feels like if this guy spend so much time looking in a mirror at himself what is he doing with me he's dissecting me like a frog in in a biology lab so by default it makes the wife self-conscious second thing is also a person that spends a lot of time a guy that spends a lot of time looking at himself it's impossible for him not to waste seed impossible why he's so into himself it's constantly running the the sexual thoughts are constantly running to his mind so unless he has his wife available to him at all times and every time and there's never a headache and there's never a stomach ache and there's never this and there's never a that she's it's only a matter of time before you waste seed the third thing is is that he's not going to be able to protect his eyes because if he's into himself if he's constantly looking at himself he's also going to constantly look at everybody else why even if it's not because of looking for Attractive people he's going to constantly compete oh yeah I look better than him I look better than her or I look better than him I look he's competing with women he's competing with men he's competing with anyone that moves and doesn't move why because you get into yourself so much you are evalu that's that's how you evalue yourself constantly so it's unhealthy for a man to be that way I'm not saying that you should uh Let Yourself Go gain as much weight as you can as your body can possibly hold you know don't uh you know don't take care of yourself in any way I'm not saying that but we in this generation have taken it to the extreme where literally you have men have a nickname for it they call them pretty boys and there literally there's men that spend a lot of time they grown men that spend an enormous amount of time taking care of themselves to such an extent that it's uncomfortable to be next to them so here we understand that in order to be a disciple of Abu we have to remove all forms of doesn't lit mean an idol means serving something foreign serving something foreign so what does it mean serving something foreign serving something that's foreign to AEM it's not AEM spending anything above the standard amount of energy time and effort on anything outside of hasem anything not Rel to if you spend your life chasing money and you never have time to learn Tor you don't even have time to even basically read the weekly par like you're obligated to and really you think that you're religious just because you keep Shabbat you should know that money is your you go up to sh tell oh here come the the idol worshipper scho is looking behind him who maybe there's another scho here who's AO no no you you come comeo come come how many buildings did you build oh I had 15 buildings how many companies oh 27 companies oh good so all of those were Idols why why Idols I gave yeah you gave good for you came from idol worship you're not allowed to go to such an extent of working so hard for money that you forget about God so chasing money to such an extent can literally be so to be a disciple of first and foremost we have to understand that it will require a lot of cleaning up a lot of cleaning up of things that are foreign because the number one Mission thatu had in his life was to destroy all forms of a his father ter was the Walmart of AAR had all types of statues and little abam knew this is all nonsense his father just made them took some clay took some Stones took some stuff put them together put a face on them and he sold it in the store and then people would buy them and then worship them so would tell his father AB what are you doing what is this what is this nonsense what are you doing here what he are all gods what gods you just made them 15 minutes ago from the from the ground you took a few rocks you put a few Pebbles you put in his eye what are you doing be quiet AI be quiet little AI be quiet just make sure you sell them I have to go take care of some business make sure you sell everything was already is before he was a is before he was a man he was already full of he knew this is disgusting so what is he going to do his father's bigger than him his father is his father what are you going to do so you saw one of the women came one of the customers came like oh yeah and she brought a big dish of food she go what is if my father's not here she goes no no it's not for your father it's for the uh for the idol over here for Buddha what Buddha yeah yeah you know that that big one over there yeah I'm going to buy it at some point but I wanted to bring him some food he looks you're bringing you know my father made this right what are you talking about father made yeah my father made it I saw him make it he took the clay he took some rocks he took some this he took some that he made it it's not it's not going to talk to you he's not going to eat the food she be quiet little ABI be quiet she gave him the food she gave the idol the food AB was so disgusted with it he couldn't take it anymore he took a bat or something some type of stick and he broke every single statue he destroyed destroyed every single statue a million dollar worth of statues destroyed all of them now his father comes home and he sees that his entire store million dollars worth of goods with no insurance destroyed what happened AI what happened what Happ he doesn't know what to say what happened he goes oh you should have seen it ABA you should have seen it why what should have seen it because one of your customers you know the the woman Patricia yeah Patricia from down the street she came she brought a nice steak with a fam and and some pasta and some vegetables and everything she brought it she brought it to the little guy over here this little guy this little little statue over here goes what statue you know the Rocks used to be a statue over there yeah she brought it to him but then the statue next to him said hey give me some goes well I'll give you some it's my it's my food she give it to me Patricia made the food for me give me some they started fighting between them so then Big Steve you know Big Steve the one that you made last month Big Steve said hey guys enough I'm taking everything they all got into a fight Steve broke everything and then they that's what happened what do what can I do what can I do ABA his father go are you insane these statues can't move they can't talk they can't eat they can't hear they can't do anything what are you talking about he goes oh so how come you worship them M how come you worship them AB how come you if they can't talk they can't hear they can't they can't eat they can't do how come you worship them this is a story from over 4,000 years ago but it still applies now how does it apply we spend an enormous amount of time chasing what we think is the good of this world chasing money chasing Fame chasing Fortune chasing this and chasing that in the end not a dig passes by and we don't see one of these people that had all of it but is telling you it's all worthless by committing suicide by falling into drugs by trying to escape reality wait you already have you have a hundred million do house you have a plane you have a this you have a that you have everything everybody else wants why you go why you doing drugs why are you escaping reality your reality should be good if you have all those things then why would you try to escape that reality if you have all those things why are you committing suicide like this guy Anthony berdan like Robin Williams like uh many many other celebrities that literally are almost like they're falling like it's there's a plague in Hollywood every week somebody else commits suicide if your your reality if it's based on material you have everything you've always wanted why are you committing suicide why you doing drugs why you escaping reality because what hashm is trying to tell us through these people is that if your reality is based on this material on the value of your stock portfolio on the size of your building on the uh grander of your house on your parking lot how many cars it has and all of that cavod that you think people give you because you were in some movie or you achieved some type of uh program or something if that's your reality that is 100% % a it's 100% idol worship and the problem with idol worship the problem with idol worship is one day you wake up and you realize wait I'm connected to nothing I'm connected to the I've been feeding this Idol that can't talk that can't eat that can't hear that can't do nothing that can't help me through my real life crisis through my relationship crisis through my any mental prices cannot give me a purpose cannot do anything for me and you realize you achieved everything and nothing at the same time and you achieve emptiness just like achieved emptiness at that point so the big step that a person needs to First understand when they're going on this road on this journey to be a sadik is that you have to abandon all forms of idolatry and idolatry does not only mean statues it means literally anything that you're spending more than the standard amount of time and more time than you're spending with hem whether it be your looks or it'll be uh your money or your house or anything else now of course especially when it comes to women they have to be pretty for their husbands a man needs to groom himself people need to live in a decent house even the says that one of the requirements for a person to achieve the uh have the ability to study freely and and and have the State of Mind the comfort of State of Mind Is by having a pretty wife and a decent uh house so we is there a contradiction here no there's no contradiction we're not saying go be homeless that's not what we're saying we're just saying don't become a fanatic where your house or your car or your all those other material things become your life get it finish move on now how do we know we're moving on this is one of the things we're going to learn here from Ab Ain so before we get to that we see that AB ainu was not an a regular person a lot of people lived in this generation but ainu was different from everyone we see that he had everything but he felt like he had nothing when his nephew lot was kidnapped aam took elazar and went and beat all four Kings and all of their armies because they kidnapped his son his nephew now one of the other prisoners one of the other people that was subjected to the uh Wrath of these few these Four Kings was the king of Sodom he lost all of his money he lost all of his people all of his people became prisoners and he didn't know what to do himself he hid himself in in a hole so after and elzar came and beat all of these Kings the king of Sodom you know you know saw all of his people afraid so he came to abam he's like heyam take all this money give me the people take all the money you know there there's a uh you know these are there's a lot of money that they took for me now you you take all of it take all of the prizes take all the material but just give my people I can rebuild the custom at that time was was that this was perfectly legal this was perfectly okay it was a perfectly accepted custom 114a says he was abah was perfectly fine taking all this money there was no reason for him not to take the money except when he realized that if he takes the money this king of Sodom is going to think to himself maybe at some point he's going to say oh you know you know a yeah you know everybody knows AB yeah you know that abah that beat all the kings know you know how he built his castle right I gave him the money I gave him the money yeah after he built I gave him the money I financed it so tells the king of Sodom I'm not going to take even a shoelace from you even a shoelace I'm not going to take from you why because I don't want you to ever think oh is AB I made him rich and it wasn't God that made me Rich take the money and take the people take everything I didn't do it for that I did it to go and free lot and free the world away from these evil Kings that's it I did the will of hem it had nothing to do with money it had nothing to do with anything else and I don't want this to turn into had an opportunity to get a billion dollars and he says I don't want even $10 I don't even I don't even want enough money to cover the cost of what I just did all the weapons this nothing and nothing I don't want anything why because Shalom you're going to say to people oh yeah you know yeah yeah I donated $1,000 to his organization what do you mean you how did you donate $1,000 to the organization you're a missionary you're a anti God you're a uh an Tor how would you donate we don't want your donations we want your chuva if your chuva comes with donations if your CH comes by itself if it's just donations no CH no thank you stay where you are you can give to many other organizations I'm sure they're going to take you money but don't think that you can get it just because you're don't was telling us money mean nothing now you would think okay listen you just beat Four Kings Four armies you and another person at the end of the day they're still flesh and blood so you should walk around like you know Gib hey don't push me why I'm aam don't push me don't look at me like that I'm aam so then after sahu went to looked for a grave site for her now he already knew what he wanted because he used to pray at thees knew that and and Noah are all buried in this says he used to pray there every day and he would see the Holiness of the now the owner of was a by the name of epon Ephron on the other hand Rashi says on the spot hated he saw it as a place of darkness and disgusting he hated the place he couldn't wait to get rid of it so when abah ainu came to to to buy it him this he should be as happy as can be so first abam comes he comes to the people and he says listen need like I'm just a visitor here I don't have anything you guys are all big people you guys all have everything I'm a nobody I'm just a visitor I'm just a visitor here people are like what visitor you're is you're a man of God meaning even the strangers that AB is saying you guys are a big deal what a big deal we're a big deal you're the big deal you're a man of God a man of God is Among Us and they say that as soon as they saw him talk to Eon he said listen if you could if you if you actually like me and you think I'm something and you want to even at least help me a little bit as little as I am maybe you connect me to the owner of this this of they said that the the the midash over there says that day Eon came to him and spoke to him on the spot the entire city that voted Eon is the mayor Eon is the mayor why why Eon is the mayor why is Eon the mayor he spoke to abah if you spoke to abah you're a big deal spoke to abah now he became friends with him he spoke to abam came here looking for you you must be something special you tell us what to do so if one was uh pretending like everything was good he was pretending oh yeah yeah was between it's nothing no no you could take whatever you want no problem in front of everybody else take whatever you want but then as soon as they were alone they said what's between us 400 Z 400 Jew by the way is like $40 million for a place that was like he if for himself thought it was like a uh a garbage dump he hated it so the so the Torah asks ask how is it possible that Abu went to pray over there and saw it like it's a garbage pail you're not allowed to pray in a garbage PA you're not allowed to pray in a place that even smells bad if let's say you have a child and your child just uh went number two next to you you can't pray until you change him and and remove all the smell from the area you cannot pray there if let's say for example you are sometimes people they can't control themselves you go to besset you pray and someone uh you know releases gas unfortunately it's happened many times unfortunately sometimes on purpose sometimes is a uh accidental people can't control themselves if it's on purpose by the way you should know the says in in I believe it's beginning your person's he does on purpose person's let do CH for that it's and so on and so forth but someone accident accident it's still a problem but not as big it's not but if somebody passes gas and you you have to stop praying on the spot you have even if you're in the middle of amid you have to stop praying you cannot pray if there's a bad smell you stop until the smell is gone and you continue because the teaches that whenever your body smells a bad smell it actually hurts your it actually affects your in a negative way so if e saw the like it's a garbage pale how is it possible that not only saw it as a piece of ganeden but was willing to pay $40 million for it how's it possible we learn here that the beauty of K is not shown to the the beauty of something that's holy will not be shown it's not something that a someone that's a that has sins he's not going to be able to see it you could both be looking at the same picture you're sadik and you're next to rashan for fortunately you're looking at the same picture he sees garbage pale you're seeing the greatest P painting that ever existed in the world now you're not seeing something different it's the same thing he just can't see it this also happens in our life many times there's a lot of M that we could learn from seeing that the M servant of Aram her name was hagal and hagal after she had isma she started becoming very arrogant and saru kicked her out now when she went the Torah says that when she went into the desert she couldn't find any water she started crying to Hashem she made made sure to stay a far distance from even her own son and the midash over there says she stayed a far away distance from him just far enough where she knew that his bow and arrow would not hit her because she was scared that isma will kill her too so she stayed right outside of the range of his bow and arrow why was she crying there's no water so then hasem shows of the angels and the angels say oh yeah the Well's right here so say wait a minute where where theem just made a miracle for her and just made a well go no there's no Miracle the well was always there go how come she didn't see it because didn't want her to see it it wasn't time for her to see it she had to pray and cry to hem so hasem can show us something that was right next to her there one time was lay and some people do just Rashi you lay you do Rashi that's what you're obligated to do you put Rashi based on rash and uh that's where you do the but and many of the other said that it's also a very big Mal to also do should do R but when you do when you lay of ra no you're not allowed to pray not all to say a blessing if you say a blessing then it's it's a sin one time made a mistake and he says that he asked one of his uh students to give him the they look the same and he put theine and he did a blessing and then after he realized that the uh the the that he laid was actually Rashi was actually was actually so he did a blessing on a one that he's not supposed to do a blessing so his student said I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry he's like no no don't worry it's okay no problem everything's okay everything's okay you made H mistake it's not your fault it's okay student left but the rest of the people explain that cried for the rest of the day he did not stop crying for the rest of the day why I just said aem's name without having the right to say it imagine we say aem's name like it's saying Stephen Joe he said aem's name in a blessing you're not supposed to say a blessing he cried for the rest of the day so anyway so one time I put on and uh after you uh different people do it different times I usually do it after we finish amid yeah I uh take off the ru the the Rashi and I put on the but the they have these little boxes to protect theine itself so after I took off the take a one at a time I took off the head and uh I put it in the box and I'm looking for the uh the other box I'm looking for the other box for the for the hand because I know that after I wrap this up I'm going to take off the hand one and I need the other box to put the hand one before I put the other because I can't just leave him out there you have to give some to thees so I'm looking for the other box but I'm looking and I can't find it it's like the ground swallowed with K over here over there nothing don't exist now I can either continue uh you know losing focus on the prayer and everything that's happening or I can say you know what when to see it show it to me and I happened to learn a little M right before it so that's what I did said I guess I when I need to see it show it to me so I took theine I continued wrapping it as soon as I finished then I took off the other took off the otherin and as soon as I took off the other I don't know the other one appeared the other box appeared right behind one of my bags I looked over there I looked over there it wasn't there but when I needed it for sure it was there meaning when I looked for it originally I didn't really need it I wanted it but I didn't need it I wanted it just to know that as soon as I finish I'm going to put it there I wanted I wanted to make sure that I have the money in the account when I need the money but I didn't need it at that time hasem says if you don't need it I'm not going to show it to you when I needed it it was there you could even learn mus to change your life and and good things even from just changing fing boxes all you got to do is look looked she couldn't find but when she needed it she found that's how hasem Works Hashem doesn't tell you if you do all my mitv you do all good I'm going to give you whatever you want he didn't say that he I'm going to give you what you need when when you need it when you need it I'm going to give it to you not when you want it sometimes when you need it and when you want it are aligned most of the time not so much most of the time we want to have the money in the bank before we spend it most of the time we want the house the huge house before we have kids or even a husband or even a wife well I want to have a wife how am I going to get married if I don't have a big house what big house you have three rooms with just you and the dog what are you going to do with all three rooms no you know I'm going to get married with the wife I'm going to have kids woo you know how long it's going to be before you find any one of them the wife who who said you're going to get married who said you're going to get married why hashem's not going to bless me I'm just saying why why you believe that you're going to get married the kids who say even if you find a wife who said you're gonna have kids who said you can have kids why is not going to bless me with life to have kids okay let's say it does and even if you have kids you know how long it takes to have the kids and they grow up and they before they need their own room they sleeping on your bed and they sleep in your room who needs all these rooms why but I need so you have to understand if you believe that hasem can give you this money for this house that you don't need why don't you believe in Hashem in other places too this is what we need to know we need to know that we need to believe in hem at all times if AEM is AEM he's AEM all the time when it comes to par when it comes to when it comes to Z when it comes to all the good the bad the indiff every single day every single time so the M continues and it says Whoever has three different traits the opposite in essence we're going to go over of abah ainu he is no less than a disciple of the wicked bam now when we think of bam what are we thinking of we're thinking of some guy that smells bad looks bad idiot a fool doesn't know how to speak he slurs when he speaks he doesn't he probably has like some words coming out of his eyes or something like we're thinking of some guy looks strange acts strange is strange Maybe lives in a garbage pale or something that's what we think of bam at least that's what I think of bam I don't know what you guys think I think of bam I think of some guy lives in a garbage pail that's what I think of bam but it's false bam was actually a Nai was a prophet but not only a prophet he was a very wise person he was a genius he wasn't just a professor for freshman class in some City University he was the head dean of a movement of of a of a philosophy of a mindset of a lifestyle a lifestyle of a lifestyle of evil but Hashem instilled enough wisdom enough power in bam to be even greater than mosu when it says no one like Moshe was ever raised in in is say pay attention it says in is there was not another Moshe but the rest of the nation there was whoam had the ability greater than M now this same bam was not some fool even though he sounds like a fool when he's debating his donkey but I learned this from maybe four or five years ago and I think it was actually I said it in the first lecture I ever gave in New York in stetan Island Rabbi he said why don't you say something I said me say something what do I know he goes you study you start say something they like to hear English go talk he gave me some to go do it so the whole day I'm trying to all Shabbat afternoon I'm studying I don't know what to say I never did a lecture before I just did a little small one in Israel like H who might to even say anything it happened to be B so I told them if now for example you had I don't know some people have a lot of people have dogs I had dog for almost 16 years now for years I was waiting for my dog to talk he was a cute little dog really not that little but to me he was little but I couldn't wait for him to talk I don't man he he had a personality and I'm like no he he definitely could talk he probably talks when I'm not home he probably talks to like he has friends come over they have a couple of drinks Maybe he definitely talks one time we had a we had a party and we put a tie on him so you imagine this white dog with a black tie for sure he talked that night he talked with somebody I was waiting for him to talk but truth be told if he ever talk to me I don't think I would ever leave the house why I want to know what he said what he wants to say now now that he finally found that this guy talk you want to see what he says but bam it says hem opened the mouth of Theon the donkey and made the donkey talk and the donkey tells bam we can't go this way you can't go that way why you hitting me why you hitting me like it's complaining it's complaining to beam why you hitting me these three times now bam instead of what what does he do he says hit you if I had my sword in my hand I'd kill you this is very strange why it's an animal it's a donkey and it's talking why don't you just say wait a minute you talk why isn't that the first sentence when did you learn how to talk how do you know how to speak how do you speak the same language as me what else do you have to say how you do I'm sorry hey you know how much money I can make off you now that I know you talk put you in a circus everybody's going to pay $100 just to see the talking donkey we can make a whole TV show about you I mean you know how much money we can make talking dony gave me another gift make me a profit and I have a talking donkey what did he say to him he says if I am my sword me I kill you this is the strangest thing in the entire Torah why why isn't he saying there's something wrong here the donkey is talking why don't you stop take a breather for a second wait a minute hey you're you're last I checked you're a donkey why are you talking how are you talking when did you learn how to talk have you been talking this whole time behind my back who else do you talk to do you have friends that talk is there like little donkey families that talk I don't know I have a lot of questions to this donkey but bam has no questions bam not only doesn't have questions he continues the conversation like nothing happened he actually has an argument with him he has an argument with the donkey goes why I hit you I kill you if if I had my sword why the question is why why does bam just continue the conversation like nothing changed like reality did not change like AEM did not write a special verse in the Tor meaning hasem wrote in a Tora something it's not like every donkey was talking we're not in some mystical land where the birds talk and and there's dragons flying in the air is not one of those movies donkeys don't talk this one did how come bam is the only one that doesn't realize this is strange the answer is we said in that sh is that bam with all of his wisdom with all of his Prophecy with all of his power with all of the things that he had got to such a level of Filth and disgustingness in his life from his deeds from chasing money from chasing cavod from chasing sex to such an extent that the donkey became his wife he did not see anything wrong with the donkey being his wife he got to such level of disgustingness Filth you know just when you fulfill your desires and every way it's not a good thing if every time you have a desire you fulfill it you're become a very sick person because it's impossible eventually if a person for example if a person every time he's hungry he eats he's eventually going to become the size of a whale why because most of the time you're not really hungry you just feel like eating something if every time somebody wants to have be stimulated sexually and they do something about it whether by themselves or with somebody eventually they're going to become a sex addict and eventually they're GNA it's not going to be enough their own wife is not going to be enough they're going to need a second wife and a third wife and a fourth wife and eventually the uh the um uh the um says eventually those people become homosexuals the promiscuous people become ual why eventually they fulfilled every single one of their desires every Tuesday there another woman every Wednesday is another woman every Thursday there's another constantly their desires by themselves with the woman by themselves eventually it's not enough they need something else eventually they go with the same sex and eventually even that's not enough so they go to beastality and that's why now you think oh beastality yeah that's bam that's four 3,000 years ago no no no right now right now right now today in the Christian calendar 2018 Jewish calendar 5778 there are over two million registered meaning that are known for sure two to three million people that have intimate intimate relations with animals on a regular basis on a regular basis like every day every night regular basis regular basis there two to three million right now right now two to three million that beams in the world and they see nothing wrong with it in fact just uh less than five six years ago there was a a prostitution house in Nevada that was closed down why but prostitution is allowed in Nevada what's the problem this one was the pruit of sheep and other types of animals and they were very very busy in about America we're not talking about some uh farmland and green land or something full I'm not talk in America in America in the United States civilized World whatever it is as this is what we have right now there was actually a prostitution house and they say they've been in business for years why you guys bothering us been business for 30 years business has never been so good they say in the interview they feel nothing wrong with it why how does somebody get to such a level of Filth that he wants to be intimate with with a donkey with a sheep with a dog with how how do you get to such level of Filth it's starts with putting yourself in a scenario where you say I don't need to control my desires in fact I need to fulfill my desires every one of them once you start fulfilling every one of your desires eventually it's not going to be enough one woman won't be enough one marriage won't be enough and so on and so forth and it just that's how you become a disgusting addict in anything in life that was Bam Bam got to such level of Filth because he fulfilled every one of his desires that he became married to the donkey so when the donkey started talking he saw nothing wrong with it why he saw that donkey me same thing why why why you think there's anything wrong with the donkey talking look at you like what what what you talk I'm a human yeah donkey what what's the problem what do you mean like he saw there's no he got to such level of T he saw nothing different about the donkey that's a person that had the ability and the gift to be greater than M showing us that if we get all the gifts in the world from Hashem we could still be we could still be bam we can still be a donkey how misuse those gifts and that's why the said it's all of you fixing your midot that's all of you that's your point in this world you don't fix your you don't fix your midot there's no point of your life because even if hasem gave you a good brain you'll use it for the wrong thing even if Hashem gave you a good you use it for the wrong thing you'll ruin it by the time you get up to sh there's scars everywhere there's break everywhere the whole the sh is filthy and disgusting you should know that every single time you make a sin it makes a it makes a dent it makes a scar it makes a hole in your you show up to sh you say what is this filthy person what is this filthy n what' you do to it hasem gave it to you good clean what' you do to it why'd you ruin it and that's the first bua before the trial because everyone can smell each sin smell sins that they're a distance from Hashem just like we're not allowed to be next to things that are smelly that smell terrible when we're praying because when we make sins that that's that sin smells it's filthy so you show up to sh you go up to meet the king of kings like you just came out of a garbage pil imagine imagine you just go for a job interview go for a job interview and right before the job interview you you step into some dog poop or something you going to still go to the interview what about worse right before the interview they they uh the guys from the garbage they're collecting the

out of here can put something up go clean this guy where which washing machine the sixth or the seventh chamber of Gom that's why they call washing machine by the way because the sins make you filthy soam had the gift of all gifts but his bad midot destroyed everything his bad mid do destroyed everything despite having great wisdom the corrupt character of bam led him to immorality which is the key to overall failure the key to evil the key to becoming a failure in this world in essence what this mishna what the are saying right here just to get started we haven't even started with the key part of the mishna meet the biggest winner in history and the biggest loser in history the Biggest Loser in history is Biggest Loser in history why he was literally gifted the greatest gift of all and he wanted to waste seed he wanted to chase money he wanted to Chase cavod he wanted to do all these different things that unfortunately many people are doing still today so the mishna starts by telling us you should know whether you wear a black cat or not whether you have a beard or not whether you have a or not whether you have a dress or not whether you go to sh or not you should know if you have these three character traits that bam had you're still a disciple of bam if the only reason you're fulfilling these MIT is because you want to pretend like you're a sadik or sadik you should know when you arrive to Sham you're going to want to expect to go to ganeden and tell you we're sorry sir we're sorry ma'am uh yeah first you have to go see a rabbi talk to him first and then come back here where what Rabbi where AB no no no you're Rabbi the rabbi that you were learned your whole life who Bam Bam he's in section seven of Gom go you've been following his teaching your whole life because the highest said this and I think it's genius the highest this is this has this is because a normal person cannot say such a thing cannot think of such a thing deep deep enough like this the highest level of arrogance highest level of arrogance the highest level of Pride which is disgusting to Hashem Pride the highest level of pride is false py is false righteousness meaning that you're righteous you're righteous just to tell people you're righteous not because you're really righteous you're sadik not because you're really tadik because you believe in hem and you love hem you have in hem and so on no just talk you see how long my prayer was I prayed three hours what' you guys do two ah three hours I prayed to Hashem three hours see my te tee it's wool it's w it's wool it's wool it's on the outside you what do you have cotton do you even believe in God where are you see my hat reaches the sky what kind of hat you have can I you don't even have a hat I don't even know if you're Jewish it's a Jew I wouldn't let my kids marry you the highest level of pride is false py false righteousness why because you're so far from the truth you care less about it you care so much about what other people think you forgot about God a lot of people like this lot of people are like this and every single one of them if they don't do not do CH they show up to sh expecting to go to geden and the we going to tell them you first you're going to have to go see your Rabbi Bam Bam was also a rabbi bam was also a rabbi Rabbi is a teacher not a good one he was a rabbi the mishna starts off by teaching us Hashem gave you talents every single one of you here every single person watching every single one of you has a gift some people are able to speak well some people are able to draw well some people able to write well some people have a creative mind to use for different reasons some people have a special soft n that they talk to somebody they convince them without saying too much just because you see that they mean what they say and so on and so forth each and every single one of us was gifted with something says don't think that just because I gave you a gift it's a get out of jail free card don't think that just because you know the truth it's going to be easy because even the person that was gifted much more than you and knew a lot more of the truth than you he didn't fixes midot he became if you don't fix your midot you'll be one of his prodiges are tools that hasm gave us to fix our midot and connect to him if our mitv become tools to show off they're no longer connecting to hm they're connecting to B don't buy a big for to show off to everybody because if that's the reason why you're buying it don't buy it it's not a Mitzvah and you should also know that by doing things like that you bring a lot of evil eye on yourself a lot of bad luck to yourself a lot of bad fortune to yourself by showing things that you're doing and that you have you're creating so much bad around you because the reality is most people are excited for your failure not your success there was a fire in um New York a few weeks ago big fire on Shabbat says you'll find that there's an unusual amount of fires on Shabbat in a place that is Shabbat why what's the connection why is there unusual amount of fires happening on Shabbat in a place that Shabbat because despite the fact that there are 39 restrictions on Shabbat 39 39 things that were not allowed to do on Shabbat only one of them is literally mentioned in the Torah in the book of Exodus that hasem literally says don't do it and that is don't light fire everything else all the other 38 restrictions in regards to shabbat we learn from the mishkan all the things we did in the mishkan the BET mikdash of the desert all the things we did to build it we're not allowed to do on Shabbat but the only thing that's literally stated in the Tor that were're not allowed to do on Shabbat is light fire so Hashem says if you're going to light fire on Shabbat I'm going to light fire in your house why why why I'm going to light fire in your house on Shabbat also why can't it be on a Tuesday why can't it be on a Thursday why can't it be on a Sunday why say because on Shabbat historically speaking most people were religious until the last couple of hundred years most people were religious and un you know and unfortunately today it's not the case but throughout most of History throughout most of History everyone knew you're not allowed to if there's a f fire on Shabbat you're not allowed to turn it off that means if your house goes on fire a little kitchen fire on Shabbat the whole house is going you can't turn it off has says I'm gonna light you lit fire on Shabbat when you're not allowed to I'm going to light fire in your house when no one else can take it out measure for measure now there was a fire in New York a few weeks ago and one of the people that lives there told me it was a sight to be seen said literally in a matter of 15 minutes at about a quarter to 7 one house fire broke out some type of accident of some kind or Barb I don't know really know exactly what happened how it all started I don't think they've identified it yet doesn't really make a difference but usually if fire wor one house it's one house it goes on for a while the fire department comes you know and uh worst case scenario the the the house is gone that's it finished in 15 minutes on Shabbat in 15 minutes three houses will burned down to nothing three houses B big houses we're not talking about little tiny little Huts three houses each six $700,000 houses big houses three of them in a matter of 15 minutes burnt to nothing burnt the G complete the all complete garbage you have to destroy them you can't three houses and the fourth one was catching on fire the fourth one was on the side of it was Catching Fire the woman says she lives on the Block she said all of the people came but who came who came she's all of the people that hate them and she said I I I couldn't believe it but I saw in their face they were happy there's a fire they W like say wow I'm sorry wow your house is about to get burned down oh I'm sorry your house burned down no she I saw it in their face I saw it in their face they were happy the houses were going on fire they they were happy it was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life I couldn't believe believe it that's what I was seeing all the people that didn't live there didn't care about him all the haters the enemies from different neighborhood what they came to see oh wow see that's why when you show off your stuff what are you doing what are you doing you think people are gonna say in their heart is saying they don't you don't want you to succeed it's not it's not a smart thing to show people that so with all the things that bam had all the things that bam had he lost in the end he lost because of his bad midot he wanted to show off he wanted to get attention and he lost everything because of it now the first trait that we learned from a the Mish says that whoever has has the following three traits is like the disciple of so what are the traits of aam first one it says a good eye a good eye what is a good eye so the Ramba and ra say that a good eye is neck of being satisfied with your own lot in life meaning being happy with your share whatever you have it's good you can't pay the rent yeah what do you mean bash your car has three tires not four yeah you you're 35 you still haven't got married yeah why that's what Hashem gave me that's I'm fine with it now to be happy with your share without AEM is not possible why because just by default if you don't have AEM in your life glued to you already you have the ultimate emptiness so it's impossible for you to be happy you have to fill spiritually and physically you have to fill that emptiness with something that's what you're going to see a lot of people that are atheist or anti-religious or secular generally they're very very sad people they're very depressed they're very uh you know just very sad Lives why because they don't have the ultimate good in their lives they could pretend like things are good oh what I'm good I'm happy what I just bu built a building oh so you tell me that before the building you weren't happy then so if the building goes down to nothing tomorrow you won't be happy so your whole your whole happiness is based on his rocks that's it so if the Rocks go away that's it you go away it's all nonsense it's all falsehood you cannot attain happiness through material it's not possible and that's why the secular person is chasing his own tail and he'll never catch it he's trying to become happy become happy she's trying to become happy become happy maybe if she has a new boyfriend maybe if she has a new husband maybe if she has a new kid maybe if she has a new cat maybe she has a new bag maybe she has a new dress she's constantly trying to attain happiness but it's impossible for her to attain it why because happiness is something spiritual you cannot attain spiritual satisfaction with material possessions it's impossible it's impossible if someone says to you I'm thirsty all right have a steak no no I'm thirsty buddy have this Stu thirsty oh I have some bubble gum no I don't want the bubble gum I want I want to drink okay have have want take this manura how this nice beautiful manura no I'm thirsty I'm thirsty all right have a seat are you going to give me a drink no no have a chair no no I'm I want I'm on to die right now I'm like a camel in a desert I haven't drank in six weeks I need a little bit of water I want you what do you think of the view what the view I'm thirsty I want a drink what do you think of the sky you're trying to S us for the guy's thirsty you're trying to give him anything everything but what he needs that's a person that doesn't have AEM a person doesn't have AEM he's trying to satisfy his thirst he's trying to satisfies his thirst for happiness through material possessions it's impossible it's impossible it's not even a square and a round hole it's simply putting nothing in the hole this is why you see major suicides happening big stories big Headlines by people that apparently have everything but yet have nothing at the same time that's why you see that most of these celebrities live awful disgusting Lives full of divorce Psychiatry drugs all types of other addictions and if what anytime you look at the personal lives of any one of these celebrities any one of these rich people it's literally a walking disaster you can't say a single wow you know what what a success story that guy is a winner like even people like for example that this guy that um what is his name the uh the guy that was in jail for many many years huh no they they uh famous yeah famous the guy who was a president of the country no no not Jewish guy was in a uh in Africa yeah yeah yeah yeah Nelson Mandela n Nelson Mandela now everybody's like wow what a sadik he's so humble he's so you know he's a terrorist by the way that's why he went to jail but he wasn't some sadik really he was a rash he was a terrorist he got thrown in jail because he was a terrorist not because he was ah what a nice guy like people just think oh yeah he suffering his life he went to jail for 20 something years that makes him a good person no it just makes him a criminal that went to jail and served this time that's all it does that's all nothing doesn't change anything doesn't change anything the way they personify these people is completely false so anytime you see like the real details of the bios of these people you see it's completely far from the truth like for example one of the people that I thought my whole my whole career I thought was like like role model was Warren Buffett Warren Buffett when you see him on TV he's like this nice old man that is the personify him he like oh even though he has I don't know a zillion dollars it's 80 billion dollars he still eats a cheeseburger every day with Coca-Cola from McDonald's and uh he still drives a $50,000 car he still lives in the house that uh you know he built I don't know 50 years ago makes him look like he's such a modest guy and such a nice old old man and he's not really after uh you know money and so on and so forth but when you actually look at his own words forget other people his own words his own words his whole success was one big failure what failure of controlling his anger failure of controlling his ego he succeeded a little bit and made some money early and he wanted to start a business he wanted to start something big and he wanted to buy a company called birkshire haway which at the time was a textile company he wanted to buy it it was a private company and the owner initially agreed but then he reneged on a deal he didn't want it he didn't want to buy it so what a normal person does if you want to buy something and they don't want to sell it to you what do you do you walk away simple you walk away you don't want to sell it to me okay fine I'll buy I'll findy something else somebody I'm sure I can find somebody else take my money somebody else is GNA Take My Money Warren Buffett couldn't wouldn't have it no I said I'm gonna buy I'm gonna buy it and he forced the guy through a uh through a hostile takeover to sell him the company even though now this happens all the time in business when there is Corporate Raiders these different people that are big investors and they want take over a company so they buy a majority stake in the company to take control this is a part of business but that's because these corporate Raiders know that the people that are running the company are not actually utilizing the company to its full potential it's worth more than what they're doing that's what that's what taking over a company that the purpose is you see let's say a company that's worth let's say a 100 but the guys that are running it are running it so poorly that the market only thinks it's worth 50 so you know that if I go take over this company I'm going to fire this guy fire that guy take this product out take start this one start that one and I'm going to show the market it's really worth much more I'm going to create more value that's the point of taking over but that's because you see value in it here with the Warren Buffett story had nothing to do with value why because once he once the guy reneged on the deal Warren Buffett found out that the textile company wasn't even worth what was paying for it it was actually a horrible company it was a horrible company it was a horrible business deal in actually in reality it was like from it was kindness from hasem for the guy to walk away from the deal he was trying to help him hey guy's he's actually going to take you for the money you're losing money here it's not a good investment but war in it his ego was too big no no no I said yes I'm going to do it yeah but it's a bad deal doesn't matter I'm going to do it why doesn't make any sense until this day he writes a letter every year and ual letter to his shareholders about how they did with the company Burk haway and so on until this day he always says all he says in his letters until this day the worst investment in my entire life out of all the Investments and he lost a lot of money in his Investments and made a lot of money in the Investments most of them obviously made money that's why he wor Buffet but the point is he had Investments he lost billions in he had Investments that made a lot of money he said the worst investment of all in history that I've ever made was the original company was the was the original textile company bathway it was a bad investment until this day he said it's a bad investment it's still a bad investment till now but the ego is too big comes 00,000 a share of his company because he made other Investments because he made other Investments not that original company was a bad investment but he made other Investments that uh ended up being good but that original investment was purely based on ego so we're almost done because it's already long and we'll barely even scratch the surface on this m but we'll finish we'll just try to do this and then the rest of it we'll do next week so what is this a so the ramb and ra both say this a is being happy with your share being happy with your share is one of the secrets to happiness in this life once a person knows that everything that comes from hasem is good automatically changes his perception on the things around him automatically now actually says that is not just happiness with your share a is generosity being large generosity somebody says yeah yeah listen I um having some tough time with uh Finance oh here here hold on you don't wait for him to ask oh here start taking money out how much you need th000 2,000 how much you have it you give it meaning somebody has and he already knows if he needs I'm the guy let me know if you ever need anything not like one of these people that says a lot and does little that's says say little do a lot like when the Angels Came he thought they were just a bunch of Arabs he didn't know there were Angels so he says to them listen please maybe I just give you guys a little bit of bread little bit of bread what kind of enticement is that little bit of bread tell me you give me a steak tell me give me a big Feast no no just a little bit of bread a little bit of bread I'll give you and then what happens he makes he he Slaughters an entire cow an entire bull for each one of them not a little bit better an entire Feast a feast of Kings so what's the story why why why' you say shouldn't you have said listen guys stick around I'll make a whole Feast for you I got a bunch of cows a bunch of bulls a bunch of this a bunch of that I'll make you every type of meat you want this that everything you want I'll give you well I'll give you a little bread why because say little do a lot they don't say no no listen once I uh once I close this deal for sure I'm donating a million dollars for sure I'm donating 100,000 for sure I'm Gonna Be Your Biggest donor those people say I'm GNA be your biggest donor they never donate $100 why because already if you really if you really mean well if you really looking to do something good you don't speak much you don't speak much why the way of the righteous is say little do a lot say little do a lot say little do a lot the do the opposite they say a lot and do little they say a lot and do little and unfortunately many people say a lot oh wow how much they say a lot they say a lot but when it comes to giving go ahead you do it go ahead go I'll give you the Mitzvah I give you no no no you do theah no no no it's I do enough mitah I do you do it go ahead give give it's good for you it's good for your it's good for I'm trying to help you out I'm being like rebi I'm trying to give you the mitvah trying to give you theah do theah when it comes to doing the mitvah No No No but wait you said you were going to give yeah yeah no I give somewhere else where somewhere else you know I'm one of those I don't like I don't really like to share I don't really like to share what I do you know where did you give you give your own bank account what' you give so first and foremost a person needs to know is that he needs to be happy with whatever he has if he has a lot to give he should give a lot if he has little to give he should give a little don't wait until you have a lot to give a lot because maybe you'll never have a lot or maybe the reality is hasem wants you to be happy with what you have to the extent where you give the little that you have to him you giving $10 because that's all you have is like the guy that's giving a million dollars no different Hashem knows how much you how much you have he gave it to you generally the biggest donors are the ones that are not very rich people that are not very rich tend to be the biggest donors in general most of these big organizations or small organizations whether it be B or it be uh Red Cross or it be Torah anytime or it be H or any of these companies most of them are funded by small donors the 50 the 100 the 200 the 500 that's what funds them yeah of course there's the occasional guy that donates a lot more money but the company all of these big companies all of these nonprofit Charities and so on they run off of the small people why because the small people care they care to give the donation not necessarily their name whereas the big guy he gives 100,000 and he spends 200,000 publicizing that he gave 100,000 so the first thing that a person needs to know is to be happy with whatever he has the second thing is says he has to be generous he has to be generous with whatever he has both financially and emotionally don't be so cheap with compliments you see something good you see one person does something good say good for you it's a nice you look good good for you that you have a house you will bring a lot of luck and love of success in this house don't be one of these people that's cheap with compliments you see something good be happy for them have a good eye have a good eye don't be one of these people that's a miserab you see somebody else building a house like want a thief why you say he's a thief why do you say he's a thief how do you know he's a thief not gav g how do you know he's gav why look what kind of house he's building okay so maybe he made money like why does he have to be a thief why does he have to be a thief why because you're jealous CU you don't have it so that's the thing that's that's the thing people literally they have such a bad eye they can't see other people succeed it bothers them it eats them up this is mamash like a a disease a disease it's there is a very strange disease in the world that's actually mentioned in the it's a flesh eating disease it's still around to this day someone can get a it's a certain germ certain bacteria of some kind that literally slowly but surely eats all of their flesh and there's no cure for it there's no cure for it you see people missing body parts but you start seeing their bone see missing their cheek missing a finger here I'm telling you I'm not joking you see horrible horrible horrible horrible it's exist in the world a lot of things in the world exist you guys got teach you lot of things exist in the world these things are horrible he knows Fidel knows Fel knows what I'm talking about horrible things exist in the world horrible things jealousy is worse than all of them jealousy is worse than all of these diseases all of these cancers AIDS flesh eating diseases all of jealousy is a is no cure for it not only in this world in the next World at least if somebody suffers in this world and dies and cancer or some other disease okay it's this world if you're a you're you have but if you're jealous you have no you have no why you're jealous you think that you're when you're jealous of a person that means that you're saying Hashem made a mistake he should have gave you the big house and not him he should have gave you the wife and not him when he jealous you're you're heretic in hasem when you see another person succeeding saying I'm happy for you happy for you but be happy and if you're not really happy pretend to be happy until you become happy but don't be jealous it's a disease with no cure it's a disease with no cure you're never going to win you're never going to win being jealous all you're going to do is eat yourself up some people every time their neighbor gets a new car they have enough curses to write a new dection dictionary but when they see the GU nice car in reality in their heart to say hope you die when a car crash why because he has a nicer car than him cuz he has a nicer car than him people are disgusting and jealous one time there was a guy bought a new uh Jeep on Jeeps it says 4x4 4x4 next morning is a brand new Jeep he's so happy about his Jeep next morning he sees somebody scratched into the car equals 16 the guy me scann just bought this car $50,000 somebody just scratched it you know he said the 4x4 is like four time 4 equals 16 what a evil person he takes it right to the car lot says you got to paint it you got to fix it yeah $600 okay $600 what am I going to do I can't have this okay so he fixes $600 gets the car a few days later he's happy goes to sleep wakes up the next morning scratched equals 16 that guy is like I can't believe it what a m what a poor guy I wanted just to park my car what do you want for my life why you have to scratch my car he takes it to the lot again same thing $600 goes what should I do goes obviously this guy really hates you so why don't you just do yourself a favor instead of every day you come here every other day spending 600 bucks just let me put instead of fixing it with paint let me just put some other pieces of metal that look like the numbers and I'll put the sign equal 16 because you you know what you're a genius nice do it how much thousand bucks no big deal go do it no problem okay so the guy couple days later comes back he has 4x4 equal 16 and he comes home he goes all right I'm finished I'm done with the dilemma I'm done with this evil neighbor he goes to sleep he wakes up in the morning he sees the whole whole side of the car very good puta very good why some people are so jealous they cannot let another person enjoy a moment of their life some people are so jealous they cannot let another person smile without saying ah it's probably something wrong with that he stole it he took it he this he that and by the way the Sho that we did on Sunday we saw that the root the root of L what start is jealousy why you don't say about somebody you're not jealous of if the guy is dead no one says about the guy that's dead why he's not competition anymore if the guy is three heads he's got you're not saying about the guy's three heads he's sick me skin if the guy is blind you're not going to say about a blind person you're never going to see about Stevie Wonder you're never going to see about Stevie Wonder even though he didn't exactly was a sadik ex in his personal life most of the stuff he said himself people didn't say anything why the guy's like this and he's looking and you feel bad for him he's blind he's blind you feel even though he's very talented and he lived a very full life so on and so the reality you feel the guy's blind he's like half dead he's not enjoying real life the guy that's poor you don't say uh you know poor you know about a poor guy why he's already suffering enough he's pooran he lives in a garbage pale you don't say about him the Dead Guy the blind guy the poor guy so what did we learn from here also the guy doesn't have any kids you don't say but the guy doesn't have any kids says who you say about about the guy you're jealous of why it's the only one that threatened you it's the only one that's threatening you the new woman that moved into the neighborhood the new teacher that all the kids like everybody says the new Rabbi that everybody likes everybody says about him the guy that's popular gets people to do CH no end of why because you've been your k for 20 years even the ants the ants are becoming Christians in in in your in your church SL synagogue the ants are becoming Christians your boring teachings but the guy is actually making people do ch yeah no he's probably making money out of it no yeah he's probably this he's probably that n he doesn't know what he's talking about why CU you're jealous you're jealous you don't say unless you're jealous so next time you catch yourself feeling like you have an urge to say check yourself check yourself am I say and by the way 99% of the time you talk about other people it's so that's how you know if it's or not it's 99% mean meaning anytime you mention somebody else's name oh you know so and so stop yourself you should know that before you say it ask yourself am I jealous of this person they have something that I want ask yourself and you'll see if you look deep down inside you'll find something you find something that really you're saying it not because of that specific thing but because of something other reason there's a hidden reason deep inside but that also comes because you're not happy with your share now the interprets this term of as having a positive outlook having a positive outlook and the says what is this postive Outlook it's having giving that everything is for the good now you know how they say there's 70 faces to the T there's different opinions but you'll see the way that the think is very differently than us and you'll see from here that these things don't contradict each other they all agree with each other the fact that R and ra say that you're supposed to be happy with your share in life does not contradict what R says you have to be generous you can be happy with your lot even if it's not not a lot and still be generous the fact that the r says that you have to be happy with your lot says you have to be generous does not mean that having a positive outlook contradicts it in fact it complements it but this last point I learned from the that I read a few times but I never got it that's the difference between a and me you read this thing a thousand times you're not going to get it until you see it once he show on show it to you it's like wow it was always there yeah you just didn't see it that's they see it says this page 38 says once I traveled on the road and I entered one of the ruins of to pray this is after remembered for good came to me and he waited for me at the end of the ruin until I finish my prayer meaning he didn't interrupt him when he was prayeri was at the uh one of these ruins and he prayed over there and he says I saw and he came but he waited for me to finished praying so far we're good after I finished my prayer said to me peace be upon you my teacher Shalom peace be upon you my teacher and my master he says my son for what reason did you enter this ruin and place yourself in a state of danger what danger as we learned from Sunny a few weeks ago when he gave us three places that thear says there there's demons one of them being in Ruins places of Destruction but place of Destruction SOI tells uh tells uh what are you doing here why are you praying here don't you know you're putting yourself in danger there's shim here it's a ruin it's destruction here what are you doing here put yourself in [Music] danger I came here to pray he said to me you should have prayed on the road and not entered the ruin like why you couldn't pray anywhere else you are in the way anyway could have prayed somewhere else why you praying here I said to him I did not pray on the road for I was afraid that passer bu might interrupt me and he said to me you should have prayed an Abridged prayer like a shorter prayer short this is the story this story for the average person that just learning or even above average person that's learning you look at the story you read the story and you have no idea why the story is in here this is the oral that means that Judaism in its entirety part of its foundation is the story meaning anything that's mentioned in it's not just mentioned just because it's nice oh yeah why you like this story yeah good for you no that's not the reason why the story is here when re kados started writing the oral Torah he didn't write everything why because if he would write everything the book would begin and never end it would Encompass the entire universe so he minimized and he took certain things much much less than what it exist even the says just the the tractate of thatu had 4,000 years ago was bigger than our entire oral Torah today all of it just his one tractate was bigger than all of our oral 12 everything to put together like you can't compare so when when he wrote the he minimized he minimized he only included specific things so why would you include the story okay so wanted to pray he went to pray at the cotel there's some ruins over there he went to pray okayi came said what are you doing H you should have prayed somewhere else okay I should have prayed I should not prayed pray shorter that's you couldn't say in shorter like this you actually spent you invested several lines of thear that all of Judaism is depended on on this story does make any sense to anybody not until you're like when you're like you look at the words and you realize that a single word changes everything two words different world three words every single word in the Torah is there for specific reasons that's why people that Lear learn real rambam learn the rambam they don't just learn what he said they learn how he said it why did he use the AL instead of the he because last time he used the a why did he use the VAV here no VAV here they literally they learned the ramb that's after the by almost a thousand years not just what he said but how he said it such was the wisdom of the rambam even more so the so the Ben that looks at this and he says look at this genius look at what's being said here look at the that he teaches us it has to do with this he says look the whole story is relatively simple he's on the road he's traveling and he needs to pray and instead of praying exactly where he was like most people would do he decides to go into the ruins and pray over therei comes to him and he says why are you praying over here don't you know there's shim here don't you know it's dangerous for us don't you know it's dangerous he says no I was afraid that passer by other people would interfere with my prayer so the Ben says look at the words that rosi uses when he tells the story he says he didn't just say I went to pray once and I prayed at the ruins and thei told me don't pray here no he says one time I was traveling somewhere what do I care if you're traveling or not like what does that have to do with the story just tell me you went to pray Lei told you you shouldn't you told them why you did it finished well the whole the whole thing is one sentence what do wait what does you traveling have anything to do with the story well we have the minimize the words wisdom is told in less and L content so here the B says the says look at how he gives us the he says one time I was traveling on the road and later on when he tells I didn't want people to interrupt me when I was praying what kind of people people that are passing by the road passing by the road wait a minute you're traveling on the road and there passing by what's the difference why aren't you why why AR both of you traveling or why aren't both of you passing by why do you use on one end and for them you use it's in essence the basic meaning is supposed to be you're both passing by so the Ben says when I when when see when I go do something something I think every single step that I take this is exactly where hasem wants me to be if he wanted me to be somewhere else I would be there because he doesn't want me to be anywhere else I'm here with that knowledge being present here and not all the way in the back of our head I know that every single move that I make is so every single move every single step that I take I think I'm here why I'm doing yeah but you're in a place that's not so good no no what do you mean not good hm wants me here if he didn't want me here I would be over there but he wants me here so I'm here so I am taking advantage of the opportunity and I'm fulfilling with every single step by thinking about the journey and not about destination why because the journey is actually the destination the journey is the destination every step that I take I'm traveling I'm traveling so I came over here because I'm not scared of shim or bad things why because I'm traveling and every step that I take every move that I make is a Mitzvah and there's a law in the Tora everyone that's doing mitvah has protection someone says if you're doing mitvah you have protection from hasem you're not going to get hurt so even though even though this is a dangerous place it's a dangerous people it's dangerous place for people not doing I'm doing mitvah how every step that I take I know that's hm wants me to be here difficult no difficult up down lose money make money get married get this everything is a Mitzvah I am traveling now also at the same time I'm traveling here because I'm afraid of the people that pass by why people why I'm afraid of people have passed by because people that pass by they're only worried about the destination they only worried about listen I can't do what Hashem wants until I have a big house I can't do what Hashem wants until I get married I can't do what hasm wants until I have a lot of money I can't do what H once I get there then I'll do it once I get there then I'll be happy once I get there then I'll be this they're only worrying about the destination so their entire journey is a waste they're they have an opportunity to make a mitvah every second they're alive they're wasting the whole time why they're thinking about the destination the destination destination because they think that the destination is what hasem wants from them instead of the journey itself instead of the journey itself so they're just passing by missing out on all these mitv and since they don't even know what they're doing they would see me praying and they would bother me they would interfere because they don't realize that I'm doing a Mitzvah they think I'm like them they think I'm just passing by too so I want to stay away from them I want to come here cuz I know here have protection here I'm fulfilling they're not in my way here tells us something extraordinary he tells us that if you treat your life like you're just passing by you're worrying about the destination constantly you're worrying about until you have money until you get married until you know this until you finish all these books until you do this until you do that in order to do you're missing out entire life you're missing out on happiness you're missing out on everything in life you're missing out on life you're wasting your life you're burning it there's no point to your life why you're worrying about a destination that you may never arrive to if you're waiting to to get to the end of the struggle you're missing the opportunity that has gave you it's the struggle life is full of suffering make something out of it everyone suffers everyone suffers the difference between a sadik and a rash is that sadik knows that suffering is from Hashem it's Hashem talking to you he says I want you to serve me through the suffering I want you to serve me through the suffering that's the journey I put you on I signed off what do you think it just happened by itself I want you to serve me under those conditions why I want to see if you love me now I want to see if you love me now and that's what he says that's what he says in the book of Deuteronomy that's what he says in the entire Tor the Ben is trying to teach us what was trying to tell us in a very very simple story we can read it a thousand times but we're not we're never going to see what the says that's why when you make fun of the says you're a donkey why because you're reading it like it's the same word passing by traveling same thing for us English doesn't make a difference pass by travel T we can read a thousand times never get it why we we're not the but if we read the what say then we become if we read what the say then we become then we see that a simple word one word one word changes your life doesn't change a sentence it changes your life why cuz right now you realize me sitting here I have a little pain on the right side you know what that's a onm that's the will of hm it'sah for me to think about hm through my pain it hurts me I have pain why wants me to have pain your struggle becomes Mitzvah your suffering become mitvah and little by little you're not struggling the same way you may struggle physically but not emotionally you may struggle financially but not emotionally you may struggle with a lot of things but it never affects that pure that hasem instilled in you why because the knows that's the journey that's the point that's why I'm here I'm just here traveling I'm not here to pass by to go to the end of my life I'm not looking forward to the end I'm looking forward to the journey that's the point in life that's the point that's what the Ben was saying that's what was saying and that's exactly what these three are saying the ra and that's what they're saying it doesn't contradict each other he says if if you treat your life you treat your life like it's a you're traveling on a journey that every step good or bad is an opportunity to serve AEM good or bad is an opportunity to fulfill a Mitzvah then of course you're going to be happy with your share if every step is a of course you're going to be generation why you have so many mitv you're going to say come on come to my house come I share mitvah with you what your house has holes in it yeah I'll tell you about the holes I'll tell you about the holes people came to this house say what is a shack what is this they see rabusa dancing with his kids he has holes in his clothes holes everywhere happiest guy in the world why let me tell you about the holes let me tell you about how much loves me through the holes let me tell you about the struggle give you give you through the struggle of course you're going to be happy with your sh of course you're going to be generous because you see that the material of this world is meaningless you have so much of spirituality so much of AEM you're the richest guy in the world you're the richest woman in the world this this money it means nothing take all of it it's complete garbage I have a sh what do I care about this money house no house what do I care about anything I have AEM in my life what can I what else could be good other than hasem once you have once you understand you're traveling of course you're going to be happy with your share of course you're going to be generous and of course you're going to be like the SP says of course you can have a positive outlook why that's your life that's your whole life positive yeah but what about the Holocaust hem what about the pgms AEM what about great depress your whole life is that's that is real is not believing no no it's going to be okay why why is it going to be okay the guy's sick he has cancer the doctor say he's going to die in three weeks why he saying it's going to be okay you're liar liar he's dying in three weeks two weeks Fidel tells me he goes to the hospital Center everybody's religious why they going to die no no single doctor goes in and says it's going to be okay it's not going to be okay they're going to die why you lying to them the guy got the car crash lost his leg tell it's going to be okay how is going to be okay lost his leg and gave him a leg back how's it going to be okay how how's it going to be okay that's not emuna telling people it's going to be okay is a lie it's a complete lie telling people it's going to be okay it's a lie it's not amuna it's a lie you know what's emuna tell them it is okay now right now it's okay wa about I just lost my leg I just lost my head I just lost my this I'm yeah right now it's okay it's perfectly okay right now due the struggle everybody wants to sue you everybody hates you everybody this every right now it's perfectly okay what do you mean it's okay what do you mean it's okay it's okay it's great it's wonderful why it's on hem it's the will of hem if this is what Hashem wants how could it not be okay if this is what Hashem wants how could it be bad you came to this world to serve him not you so if he wants you to struggle that's perfectly fine that's you're doing your job at least you maybe going to get a salary too if he wants you to struggle what are you complaining about telling them it's going to be okay is a lie telling them it is okay telling her it is okay that's the truth why because it really is okay because it really is okay of course we could all pray for better times and less tests and so on and so forth but let not start at all with a lie saying no this is not good it's not true it's good everything is good why it's onm the king says it's good he made it happen once you start living your life like it's a journey and stop worrying about the destination then you could achieve then you could achieve then you could become something but until then you're just going to struggle your whole life without ever knowing why because everybody's telling no it's going to be okay it's going to be okay they're all liars you told me last year it's going to be okay the guy did but nothing was okay no it's okay you just didn't realize it it's okay it's been okay of course a person needs to know that when it comes to giving they have to look at others like and look at themselves like the looked at everything as it was perfectly good even if he saw a Jew smoking on Shabbat he tell me you know it's Shabbat yeah you know you're allowed to smoke on Shabbat yeah he says look AEM look how much look how great your kids are he's he's such a sadik he's not even willing to lie that's that's that's he looked at a positive of everything when you go to people you can't tell them listen listen it's okay the guy just lost his house you have to know who you're talking to you have to know who you're talking to so everything I'm telling you is to do to yourself everything I'm telling you to do to yourself only do this with other people if you're in a position of doing it to other people telling it to other people first start with yourself don't tell anybody else no it's okay now you're just struggling but it's okay now because you cannot feel the pain of another person so first start with yourself first say to yourself it's okay yeah but you're struggling yeah I know it's okay start with yourself other people tell them this it's going to be okay why because they may not understand what you're trying to tell them and also they may not believe you because they know that you not doing it yourself sometimes so it's important for a person to know you want people to do cha start start doing Chua yourself you want to be you want people to beik become a sadik yourself that's the secret be what you want others to be you want other people to be happy start with being happy yourself and the key here is to start with emit start by telling yourself the truth it's not necessarily going to be okay it's already okay live your life as if the whole thing is a journey not just worrying about the destination by taking advantage of the opportunities you have day to day Hashem gives you struggles whatever they may be if he gave them to you number one he knows you could overcome them and number two it must be good it must be good why he's the ultimate good if he want to give you bad there's a much better place that's designed for bad it's called Gay we'll talk about it next week for now we'll focus on ganen but that ganen is in this world by simply changing our mindset to understand everything is good but really it really is good if you understand that sometimes that good comes in a form of struggle but if you treat every step of that struggle as a because it's it really is good and your life changes any questions same price what you guys want to go to Gom section now I got you guys uplifted today but you're in shock used to me just giving it you on the head no once in a while there's some good things you to be my psychiatrist psychiatrist we'll try next week it's a different price different price no I ask you questions like you know about ask the meaning meaning meaning of the word uh one of the commentaries that I know it comes from the word blea b is swallow he wanted to swallow the whole world not the swall he wanted he was his whole life was full of desire and and uh fulfilling his desire it's like a person that you know eats and never stops just want thinks about eating more and more and more and more it's one of the uh uh thing so that's one of the places what else you had a question then you ran away where you go bom uh difference between and and rash is the order of the there's a they both use the same words same verses in the Tor same paragraphs in the to but the Rashi and his uh grandson Ru disagreed on the order one says this paragraph should be first the other one says this paragraph should be second they disagreed on it uh there's some very unusual stories in midashim about that story I think if I'm thinking about it apparently hasem wants me to say um take it for what it's worth I don't know what it means but take it for what it's worth um when and Rashi were debating about the Rashi said you're wrong R said you're wrong and uh the say The Story Goes that says no way you're 100% wrong he says yeah but Rashi says yeah but we got this rule from mosenu he says no you didn't get it from M raenu let's ask Moshe let's ask Moshe they brought M's they brought M's and said M who's right mosu says rash is Right rash is Right Ru says to M raenu I'm sorry sorry M you're wrong that's not it's notem said different I understand it from my I he looked at the Su the complication he says no this is not supposed to be it it said that a b call came from shm says R is Right meaning that M here giving their opinions to rash and ra but we still go with Rashi why because that's how the we don't learn from we don't learn from different coming to the world but the significance the explain about the of is that literally when you lay the of on top of the Rashi you have to do Rashi it's not like you one replaces the other if you just do you're not fulfilling theah so after you do it's a second pair of after you use it it's as if you are laying the same as God says that hem also lays every day also lays every day whatever that means again this is hard to understand because AEM has no body no image of the body and so on and so forth but that's what the G says if it wasn't said then we wouldn't be allowed to say it but the point is is that the uh when a person lays the of r he's in essence doing the same thing as what Hashem is doing so it's has a very very big significance and that's why and other say that even though we don't do a a blessing on you should still lay them every day and uh and fulfill that Mitzvah has a very very big big Mala says it's even much higher than the regular ones we can have kav to bless on them because we have fil it's another no a lot of talk about it a lot many of the do it generally generally at the same time okay so the the way that the uh I learned from my Rabbi the way that uh I know that I believe did it teaches it is to do it separately not to put both feeling at the same time you do rash complete amid you take off and then you put no blessing and you again you say again but you don't do the part about the so it's only the first part of and then you continue with the rest of your prayer so you do twice in your prayer pretty much which means that you're not going to be in line in sync with the rest of the K the rest of the K probably already left and almost finished their prayer but that doesn't matter to you no just up to the part up up yeah up to the up to that part don't do the don't do the part so you do that and that's your and you uh keep him on until the end of prayer or if you're in a hurry you could take him off but point is is that's what you're supposed to do but here's the thing in regards to and some of these other things like uh wearing a Woolen SE or the blue string with ti I don't even count the blue string TI because none of the wear blue string but anyway all of these things that are on top above and beyond I don't recommend them for people that are starting out that are still within their first couple of years uh even within their first five years of doing Chua unless they're really really serious people and they've already learned all the what has to do with it in the really big Learners average person focus on the basics don't put too much on yourself where you just started laying you know a year ago and now you're going to put two pairs ofine you're putting too much on yourself start with one master the one do one it's perfectly fine you're still fulfilling the and then once you perfected that a few years down the road then we start going into RAB and so on and so forth same thing with other things people like to focus on the exterior because it makes them look religious it makes them look you know more than what they are they they uh you see sometimes uh people walking around with the titit outside you know and they walk around with the ti outside now that's perfectly fine I do it also but I have made a choice in my life to live a life of T from morning till night I don't do anything else now another person that's wearing to outside but he's in a casino is simply C is a fool like it had your clothing has to match the actions the clothing has to match the actions if you're if you're stealing in your business don't worry to t e outside hide it actually it's better people don't know you're a Jew so it's important to a person to make sure that the outside matches the inside and we don't look more than what we are like a lot of people as soon as they do cha they grow a beard generally as I uh I've said it in previous lectures generally I don't recommend people grow a beard for at least at least a year to two years after they've done chuat completely and they keep everything and the reason why is because you wear weing a beard unfortunately in today's world makes you look more than what you really are and you're not you're simply not you could wear a beard it's not a sin it's not even a mitvah actually to wear a beard but it's not don't wear a beard and think that you're more religious a lot of these guys wear a beard and they don't know anything what people call everybody has a beard is called look like a very big RAB was but the point is a lot of times you go to you wear a beard all the secular guys would no beard I barely know well I have I have a beard so that's the thing don't wear a don't grow a beard right off the bag just started doing Chua you just started converting you started doing anything don't do it to yourself because you're making yourself you're making yourself look more than what you really are now I'll tell you something personal just so you understand that I'm in the same boat as you guys one time I uh decided I wanted to after I prayed at home and uh sometimes when I pray at home I actually uh have better prayers at home than I do AET have more kavana I have more time I don't feel like I'm in a hurry I don't feel like I'm in a race still you're supposed to pray with a minan there's a significance to it but at the time I would pray at home sometimes and M sometimes but one of these days that I had a good prayer I decided that uh I should continue learning after prayer but instead of the traditional learning where I just learn on my own I record myself record myself learning and give a Sher just me and the camera and then put it online but give a with me wearing theine still on my head and a talit look like I just came back from Mount saai so I did did a sh about about path of the just I don't know maybe it was like a hour sh or something like that half hour hour two hours I don't remember how long it was and uh I usually don't look I don't watch my own sh just so you know I don't it's hard for me to watch my own sh a very big critic of myself this one I had to watch some part of it because I knew that I look differently than what I usually look when they give sh him this is I know four years ago three years ago so anyway I looked at it I'm like I'm not really sure like I'm with the I'm look like a Jew there's nothing wrong with it but still it's not me it's like I don't know something something something doesn't so I asked my Rabbi I sent him a picture I think I sent him a video maybe and I told him what do you think should I post this he said no don't post it good it good stuff it wasn't like I made mistake don't post it why don't post it you look different than what you really are bottom line told me the truth as much as I I knew it also I didn't like to hear it either though you look different than what you are you're not really the guy that walks around all day with on his head you're not one of the makim that walks around with teeth and all day and teaches that it's not you that's not you if I was in synagogue one day and they invited me to give a and I give a and I happen to have the and has no problem with it but that particular setting at that particular time it wasn't me so to go and make myself look like it's me it's a lie you're supposed to stay away from lies and it's not a lie the sh itself is true the Torah itself is true but it looks different he says if you want to put the voice put the voice I never even put up the voice want put the voice put the voice but as far as the picture as far as the video Don't Put it why it's not you yet it's not you and that's the admit that I wanted even though it hurt because I really want to be mosu I really want to be I want to be I want to be I want I want I look likeu I want to beu the picture of theal and this this oh wow but I'm not at the end of the day I'm not at the end of the day I'm not no that's that's a say that it's not true horns is just M from the first the point is that you have to be what you you have to look the way you really are I'm not saying if you really are secular then you be secular you should look like a sadik you should where be modest and so on and so forth but it means don't look more than what you are to Too Much don't carry too far you're wearing a beard but you still you're wearing a beard but you still don't even know the the relax take it easy look the you know look what you really are don't pretend like you're something else because what ends up happening and I tell this also a lot of times I tell it to people they ask me oh listen I uh I'm in a process of converting can I wear a keeper they say no can I wear most people I tell them no can I wear a t no don't wear don't wear keep you're in converting once you convert wear wear keep right now don't convert most of the time I tell them that it's okay to start doing it in the last stage once they're like a month two months three months away from converting then they can start wearing keep and so on because already at that point they have to start keeping the mitv Almost 100% um um but when you're already in the day one you just contacted me or we're only within a couple of months into it and uh you ask me if if you should do it I tell you no and the reason why is because first and foremost you're far from converting you're at least a year two years three years I don't know depending on the person how far you have from converting so you're you're representing you're misrepresenting yourself you're presenting yourself as if you're a Jew already you're not even close that's number one number two you don't even know why we wear them you don't even know why you wear them why you going to wear a hat on your head if you don't know why you're wearing a hat why you wearing a bunch of strings around you if you don't even know why you're wearing strings why why why so you could look it you're a liar then you're not a Jew we don't want you as part of our Islam the third thing is the third reason is I only found out through experience the people that end up looking Jews looking Jewish too early end up not converting the people that look Jewish too early like the women that put on and everything and they change their dress and they come to and so on but already right off the bat they don't always end up converting the guys are even more problematic the guy's second sh he's already wearing a keep on a daily basis T everything because they don't have it's not like you have to beg you every week to wear it's like people are don't have a they don't have a so they wa teth right away they keep it right away it's like some people so what happens they get too comfortable they already feel Jewish it's a false feeling they feel Jewish so they say what do I need to convert for I could look Jewish I feel Jewish but I can still drive on Shabbat I can still eat a little bacon NE and cheese once in a while it's not a sin it's not a sin baking and cheese with that's a problem that's a very serious problem so that's why you have to be careful you have to be careful of misrepresenting misrepresenting when you're something represent something represent else else it's important to know it's important to know that you have to be honest because everything starts with honesty if you start with a lie the whole thing is ruined next good question got everything he's always quiet you expecting talk do you talk more than him he barely talks he's like a m similar also it's good know it's actually people that are quiet usually wiser it's good good question so as far as when you eat multiple types of food question is how many blessings first blessings do you have to do how many second blessings do you have to do now for if you're having a meal a meal that has bread in it then everything in that meal that's traditionally part of a meal is covered by the miti so all you have to do is the first blessing of miti for the bread and that will cover the uh juice or uh Coca-Cola or water that you're drinking that will cover the steak or the meat or the pasta it'll cover all the food that traditionally part of a meal now if you decide that you want to eat watermelon at the end of the meal or some type of dessert like a cake or something that is not traditionally part of a meal that will require a separate blessing so watermelon would be Adama a uh cake or cookie would be a uh mot or sometimes Shak if it's a different type of cake of cookie now the last blessing on the other hand the will cover them will cover them uh so it's some some are a little more stringent and it will even say that you should do a separate blessing for those few things that you bless the first blessing different but there's a uh more opinion that covers all of them now if you ate multiple types of food but they did not um you don't have bread so for example you eat a piece of chocolate and then water first you could do one one uh sh for both of them if you have Cav to mean for all the things the relevant to if you're gonna have a cookie then you do meot if you have a banana then you do ad if you do an apple then you do its but as far as the ending blessing you have to do for for for the ones for the appropriate once if you ate a mes note then you have to do a uh the last blessing Al if you uh ate uh you know you drank tea let's say do so each one that book that I told you guys has all the details of the blessings even more details than what I'm telling you now in that book uh with the actual blessings themselves and also has the uh transliteration of the blessings so not only do it tell you the blessing and it tells you the translation of the blessing but also gives you the transliteration of the blessing and then if you go to the middle section of the book you see each food gives you a picture of the food it tells you what's the first blessing what's the Second Blessing but also you'll see little footnotes little footnotes next to some of them you'll see a little number next to some of them if you go to the back of the book you'll see what that number means it's explanation of why it's this and why it's that there certain things like for example rice is mesot rice is mesot now if you eat cake it's also me but if you finish once you finish the cake and you do the last blessing then it's but with rice it's not Al rice is an exceptional case so in the back of the book it'll tell you exactly why is this a case you do actually the same blessing that you do as the ending blessing for rice but again if the r is part of a meal that you had bread then you do that covers everything so it's important that that book is a very good book for to go and also to understand exactly why and who and what and when uh it's a book it's a type of book that doesn't sit on the Shelf it sit on the coffee table or on a dinner table because you're always going to want to use it for different types of foods you always want to make sure a woman came to Shalom one time and she told I had a dream last night very very unusual he says what kind of dream what happened he says last night some guy came to me in a dream I don't know this guy I never saw him in my life but he told me thank you very much for making a blessing on the uh cucumber you help me goes who are you she said I was the that had to come back in a Gil because I made sins I had to come back in a cucumber so I was waiting for years for somebody to eat me after they made a blessing because that will help my n Go a little higher and eventually maybe be completely fixed so okay there's one problem you could have done a better job she goes why I had when I pray I said she goes yeah that's the problem you did the wrong blessing the wrong supposed to say if you would have done would have completed my tun so thanks but no thanks so she came to she goes could this be true he says it's true your dream is AIT it's 100% Amit your dream is a and what a why so why it happen to me why when people eat apples and oranges all the time the dreams don't happen to them it's because hm is telling you you have to go learn you have to do T yourself now you have to do CH why you have to go learn what to bless who to bless why why imagine you live a whole life 70 80 100 years you build buildings you have a family you have kids you have

back with another orange maybe a maybe a cucumber maybe uh Fook pistachio fist what do you guys think it's a joke that's why the means when it says that if a person saw all the next time he wouldn't survive why he K an apple and he see the Nish of his grandfather in the Apple he's about to eat imagine you about to eat an apple he sees a of a cousin just died last week he sees it in the Apple

don't see the truth it's good it's good you don't see the truth that's the of hem but in reality everything has something in it I'm sure that people don't like this this that some people love this mysticism some people hate it the reality is nothing in this world exists without hem signing off on it and put put some reason for it some purpose in it if we understand that then we can enjoy the journey even if the journey is full of suffering because once you understand it's the journey it's no longer suffering it's not the same thing it's just work it's work I came to work yeah but you're

for work for work for we're GNA have another Shure on uh Sunday Sunday we have a special Shure on Sunday for tab begins shabat uh you begin the fast M Shabbat so make sure you eat and drink plenty especially drink plenty before the fast begins on M Shabbat this is an obligatory fast no different than Yip so unless you're sick with a serious sickness and you having a from you have to fast there's no bathing there's no eating there's no drinking there's no intimacy with your wife uh and there's also no rubbing oils or creams on on yourself there's no brushing your teeth um you have to make sure that this is a time that you mourn if you don't mourn then you're missing the point so if you're going to read in theet you're going to read me the book of Lamentations please do me a favor do yourself a favor read it in the language you understand because if you're reading it and just making sounds you don't understand a single word of what's being said then you're not going to cry and you're wasting an opportunity to do a Mitzvah you're supposed to cry during this hug if you don't cry that means you don't know what actually happened so if you didn't pick it up yet go to the store tomorrow go pick it up pick up something that says me in English art scroll has plenty of them uh all these stores have them go pick it up at least have that maybe uh that's the something you could read with some commentary during the then on Sunday between 2 and 6 we're going to have a sh going over different things relevant to different things to help us learn about what happened why it happened how we can make sure it doesn't happen again how we can make sure we're at least not the cause of it and so on and so forth uh so it'll be from 2: to 6 and then I believe they'll have over there after that shortly after that and then the fast is over and uh you could all go back to eating and drinking and and and enjoying um now during the fast you're not allowed to sit on a chair you're not allowed to sleep on a bed supposed to sleep on the floor uh supposed to sit on the floor but there's a leniency after 1:00 in the afternoon the following day so meaning on Sunday at around 1:00 there's a len you can start sitting at chairs so when you come to the Shure at at 2:00 you'll be able to sit on chairs you don't have to sit on the floor I still have to stand but what can I do uh but you guys can sit on the comfy chairs that you have and uh learn some Torah bring some uh bring bring your aame make sure that you come there and don't act like you're half dead it's just food
