what if a person wants to donate so
badly for the sake of K and helping the
RS organization does that mean that I
don't have the Merit to do kiru how can
I get merits uh well if somebody wants
to donate for to the
organization uh everyone can donate
something everyone could donate
something I don't believe that there's a
single person here that's watching my
lecture now or tomorrow or next year
that cannot donate to the organization
and if you tell me you can you're a liar
why not saying you specifically anyone
that says no why because I have people
that live in Africa in Africa I have
people that live in India in all types
of places where they literally live in a
third world country or at least their
area third world but you'll still
see from time to time on Facebook and on
YouTube and of course you're not going
to see what happens when they sent to me
on other ways like PayPal and on the
website but you'll see publicly that
they'll
donate $5 $4
$10 and guess what I value those
donations no less than if somebody sent
me 10,000 or 100,000 tomorrow why
because I know those people they're
doing the best they can they don't have
10,000 in the bank and they're only
donating
$10 they have I don't know maybe $50 in
the bank and they're donating
$5 so if they can donate certainly
everyone that could afford the internet
needless to say a smartphone could also
donate how much you can donate is a
different
story but many times I see that there
are
people that they believe they can't
donate because they want to donate a lot
and since they can't
donate a lot they just decide might as
well not donate at all this is
a advice that you're from the Satan
Satan is telling you if you can't donate
a lot don't donate at
all a person has to do the best they can
the best they
can if you're donating 10% of your
income whether your income is $1,000 or
$10,000 it's still 10% it's still 10%
and guess what it's counted as 10% in
the eyes
of but if a person is donating 1% or
half a percent or
0.1% then of course hasem also sees that
point is is that it's all based on how
much a person can actually do can
actually do now one thing I would
suggest and actually
request from any of you that are not
able to afford you know larger amounts
of money of let's say $50 or more at a
time and you could only afford let's say
$5 or or or $10 at a time my
recommendation to you is to donate you
know uh a instead of donating let's say
every week $5 or $10 or in some cases I
see some people donating
$3 uh and two uh is to donate every
couple of weeks or every month but a you
know a larger sum where instead of
donating every time doing it once a
month why because the fees from the
merchant Banks all of them whether it's
PayPal or flip cards or it's everyone
all of them the the transaction
fees have a minimum requirement number
one and number two it's also operational
cost for us we have you know bookkeepers
and employees that have to uh put all of
this stuff into a system so it takes
time so whether it's a transaction of
$10,000 or $10 it takes just as much
time so if you really are truly looking
to help us it's better for you to make
less transactions with more money
meaning instead of $5 four times a month
donate $20 one time a month that's
something that could certainly help but
either way back to the point at end
which is donation somebody wants to
donate if they truly want to donate
they'll find a way they'll find a way
now if somebody is stretched to
literally to the
Moon they're living in debt they can
barely afford rent they could barely
afford uh you know getting Shabbat
together and they don't have to donate
but they really really want to donate
they can still donate how simple number
one they have friends they have family
they have colleagues they have neighbors
they have a
community go to those people and ask
them to donate to our
organization and guess what they will
appreciate it why cuz everyone wants to
donate to a good place so if you tell
them listen this is a good place I know
the place that they do good things guess
what people are always looking for good
places and usually you get more
donations from those types of people
then you get even from the person that
uh donated themselves why because those
people they donate to a bunch of places
but they don't really know who's good
but if you're vouching for a place a
good place that's already going to help
them and all of the money that they
donate goes to your account also your
spiritual account also in fact you even
get a bigger award than they do so if
you truly want to help us or anyone else
out there go and collect money for them
go and get people to donate even help
them with the donation help them uh you
know whatever it is process the donation
online write a check whatever it is go
out there and collect the money and
plenty of people do it in all
communities Jews and non-jews and it's
not so uh difficult now if you say no
but I'm embarrassed okay so you're not
uh you're not really as motivated as uh
uh as as you thought you were You're
motivated if you had it if it was
convenient for you now the other thing
that a person can do is if they don't
have money to donate and they don't have
the courage or or the ability or you
know to get from other people or they
simply live in a desert and they don't
have any friends they don't have any
family they don't have any neighbors
they don't have any Community their only
Community is a bunch of scorpions and
snakes they live in the middle of the
World by themselves but they to help
then they need to get some of the
lectures that we
have and share it with people if they
live in a community with
people not in a desert they can get some
of the material the Kyu
cards like this get these Kyu cards
especially right now next week we're
starting
shim get these K
cards for tuna bre cards this is the
auspicious time starts next week for
doing
T and give them out in the community you
can get them from our kir store for free
go to kir store.org and you get these
cards for free go give them out to
people put them in the mailbox put them
in the uh in their hand put them in the
Jewish restaurants put them uh wherever
you can put them put them everywhere in
as many places as possible and at the
very least you're using your time to do
it but if you say I don't have any money
I don't know anybody or I don't want to
talk to anybody and I also don't want to
give any any any anything out then the
truth is that you really don't want to
give unless the giving is uh in in your
uh with your conditions and that's not
really desired to give so again I'm not
talking to anyone specific who wants to
give who doesn't want to give I'm
telling you guys that all of these
different things are things that are uh
uh i s i I say to people all the time
when they ask the same type of question
whether it's privately or otherwise is
that there there's always a way to help
us there's always a way to help us there
are even some people that uh you know
that help us with their skills they have
technological skills so they help us
with their technological skills either
making videos making
posters uh helping with uh different
things so some people volunteer with
subtitles different things other people
we have uh you know help us uh with with
other skills that they have whatever the
way they can they do point is that
there's always a way to give if you
really want to give there's a way to
give if you're not giving it's because
you don't want to give now one thing I
will say is that you know for since
we're already mentioning all of this is
that there are some of you that are in
touch with me more often than others
some of you watch my lectures and maybe
once or twice a year you send a question
others send a question at least once or
twice a day now you have a much bigger
responsibility to give and to help us
than others why you benefit more you
benefit more simple if you're watching a
lecture once a year versus someone
that's watching every lecture obviously
the one that's watching every lecture
benefits
more if you're watching every lecture
and you only ask one question a year
versus one that's watching every lecture
and ask questions every day obviously
the letter has a bigger responsibility
to give
and hates people that are ungrateful and
one thing that I have to say is that
there have been times where people are
so spiritually stupid that they
literally ask me a question about their
donations to other
places where they'll tell me listen
Rabbi just donated $2,000 to local kabad
do you think it was a good donation and
again if this person was giving
something of the same or more to us you
know whatever he wants to donate there
by all means I don't think it's an
appropriate question to ask different
organization but nonetheless it's no
problem but when a person doesn't donate
a penny to you even though calls you
their Rabbi says you're the best you
changed my life but all of their
donations goes to their local synagogue
this is a person that's spiritually
stupid you have to cry for them I'm I'm
almost considered fasting for them
because they're in such a bad condition
so again make sure when you guys are
watching the lectures that you guys
really listen and apply some of these
things to your life and really evaluate
yourselves where where do I stand am I
really you know someone that can benefit
from this to apply this to my life am I
am I good am I you know everybody has to
apply this I when I talk and I and I
teach I also talk to myself I evaluate
myself I know that I have a lot of work
to do now it may not be the same level
of work as someone that's new needs to
do that I already did but I myself also
have a lot of work to do everyone does
so a person needs to know that I could
knows what's in your heart he knows
what's in your mind that's one of our 13
principles of Faith so if you are a
grateful person then Hashem knows it
because you are practicing gratitude if
you are an ungrateful person Hashem also
knows that Hashem also knows that
because you're practicing lack of
gratitude and if a person is really
ungrateful but pretends to be grateful
but just says they can't really act on
the Gratitude then you should know
you're only fooling yourself you may be
fooling the uh different people around
you but still knows the truth so every
person that really wants to give can
find a way to give how much you should
give it depends what kind of Eternity
you want to have if you want to
have you know heaven but like a little
homeless heaven like a little Shack in
heaven just pretty much much as long as
you're not in G then help as little as
possible rely on your MIT to get you to
heaven if you want to have a very big
heaven then help as much as possible how
much is as much as possible literally as
much as possible as much as possible if
you're able to help every day help every
day if you're able to help uh you know a
uh every minute help every minute
whatever you can do and I can assure you
no one has ever lost as a result of
publicizing a name is Tora and I I am
living proof of
it weit to have countless students du
cha over the years and the investors
behind us that have helped us those
people have no idea how profitable their
portfolio is and that's why I tell
everybody to invest as much as possible
as much as they can
