This Isnt Freedom JEWISH PERSPECTIVE OF 4th of JULY

[Music] happy to be here the dedicated few that show up on the holiday of uh independence day fourth of july you know sometimes you get so preoccupied with uh israel you forget about the world that's around you so honestly i didn't even realize it was fourth of july until about five minutes before i got here uh when someone told me they're not coming because it's fourth of july so i said hashem works on fourth of july so why are we not working we are supposed to and commanded to learn torah all the time even more so at times like this number one because this is not our holiday this is not to say that we're not uh grateful to hashem for providing us a place to live where we have freedom of speech and freedom of religion to some extent and the ability to succeed even in the exile but yet we're always reminded that this is still not salvation we're always reminded this is still not the days of greatness the days of freedom the days that we've been waiting for for over 2 000 years and the things that remind us that we're actually still not home whether you live in israel or you live in america or you live in london or you live in africa we live in all these different places by hashem that we have students that learn our torah hashem on a weekly basis and send us letters and emails and questions and a lot of different things that we try both hashem with uh hashem's help always to help each and every single soul as well as best as we can we're still always reminded that we're not home this is not salvation this is not the geulah this is not the good times and the way that we're reminded unfortunately is that there is no end there's no end to the suffering there's no end to the torture there's no end to the murdering of our people either by our own hands or by the green i'm sad to say that today i spent some time being very sad because i found out that another another one of our people died i believe his last name is in boca raton and he also liked to fight martial arts and uh unfortunately just a few hours ago i found out that his soul was stolen from us one of these reshame one of these was shame that couldn't control their evil inclinations decided to murder him just last night to see and hear our people being murdered is always bad to see and hear them die is always bad when it happens just a couple of miles from your house it hurts a little more you see that hashem is not happy just last week i was notified that three young kids in new york all died within the same 36 hours out of drug overdose young kids 16 17 18 years old alone was only 25 years old hashem in comedy hashem will avenge his blood so first off i want to show it to go to elui nishmatam all of the people that we've mentioned all of the people that we didn't mention islam hashem in the bedding of shamayim they'll have mercy on them they'll have to welcome them with love and hashem it will help each and every one of us to realize that we're not here when we're not promised tomorrow when the students of ghazal asked them why do you say that a jew needs to do chuva every day why do you have to do a tuba every day and he explains because we're not promised tomorrow so you have to do chuva every day simply because you don't know if you're going to have tomorrow so you want to make sure that before you leave this world you've done chuva now when i posted this online to let the people know that anti-semitism is not only alive and well unfortunately but it's getting closer and closer to home not just in boca raton not just in miami not just in new york not just in london not just in israel it's literally everywhere it's literally everywhere we see our people murdered in cold blood abused insulted beat up persecuted but we quickly sweep it under the carpet after a few internet posts a few tweaks a few fundraisers and we move on it's time we ask ourselves why why are all these things happening why are there so many people hate us is there proof that this is all anti-semitism or maybe he just got into with the wrong crew maybe somebody mistook the house tried to rob it and he got in the way since he was a martial artist he tried to fight it off and maybe that happened maybe this maybe that when i posted it immediately a couple of people ask is there any proof that this is anti-semitism and i said yes there is proof it's anti-semitism it's called torah in mount sinai and he gave him the entire torah he came with the entire torah both the written torah the oral torah and he gave him all the laws all of the alahot allah means it's law means it's from shaman from god means it's indisputable this is a law of nature this is a law of the world it's not a possibility it's not a likelihood it's a fact it's a reality this does not necessarily mean that everyone that's a non-jew hates jews because obviously as you know i have many non-jew students that love israel love hashem love the torah sometimes more than many jews they're not esov they serve hates yaakov but the ones that don't hate yaakov the rambam calls them the righteous amongst the nations these are noahides that are the righteous amongst the nations the love torah love mitzvoth many of them want to convert to judaism some of them can't but still want to obey and observe the torah completely and these are the lovers of amicilla these are going to have a amazing share of the world to come the righteous amongst the nations are going to have an amazing share of the world to come the rambam says that the seven noahide laws are relatively logical you don't need torah to know that you shouldn't murder you don't need torah to know that you shouldn't steal you don't need torah to know that you shouldn't pray to some statue you bought from chinatown you don't need torah for that you just need a brain that hashem gave you that's all you need on one end this is the reason since the seven noahide laws and all of the ethical laws whether it be respecting your parents and other things that are just generally logical on one end this is the reason why a penalty for violating the seven laws of noah is much harsher than violating many of the mitzvot if a jew steals for jew steals the penalty and he gets caught the penalty is that he has to pay double if he stole 100 he has to pay 200. unless he didn't get caught and he decided to return it then he just returns what he stole but if he stole and then he got caught he has to pay double that's the allah on the other hand a non-jew that stole 100 or 200 or 200 million it's the same thing according to the torah it's death penalty it's heavenly death penalty obviously we don't kill anyone today for for stealing or really for most things but the point being is that the punishment is much harder much harsher for noah hide than this for a jew number one because they have much less responsibility much less meats vote and two since they're all relatively simple logical mitzvot to not do them it's really a war against god it's real god really takes it personal yeah i gave you just a little bit and you do against that just a few things i gave you so that's one end the second thing about noah is that we need to know and they need to know themselves is the rambam says that not everybody that keeps these seven law noahide laws is going to have a llama not all of them why if you keep the seven noahide laws because god said it then you are considered amongst the righteous amongst the nations you're considered amongst thee you're wise you're righteous you have a llama you're amazing on the other hand if you just keep those meets vote because you're a nice guy you don't steal because you have a millionaire already you don't need to steal you don't kill because it's not allowed you're scared of being arrested you don't worship an idol because yeah it's silly and so on and so forth you're just keeping it because it's logical the rambam says not only do they not get but they're actually considered the tipsy amongst the nations the fools amongst the nations why the fools because they're doing all the work without getting paid you're already getting old you're already doing all the work why not at least get paid for it the reward of allah above eternity so this is why some of the rabbanim among around the world are trying to get the non-jews to get to do in their own way and get closer to hashem and do what's right in the eyes of hashem for hashem not because it's logical but back to our issue of us being reminded that we are surrounded by the enemy in exile sometimes the enemy is within and sometimes the enemy is around us we're reminded by these murders we're reminded by just all the difficulty that's around us even the sinners amongst our own people that wanted to celebrate this gornifish this disgusting um gay parade they wanted to celebrate the gay parade in chicago and three of them went to chicago to celebrate the gay parade and they brought israeli flags that had the rainbow on it the gay rainbow on it and they got thrown out because even the homosexuals don't want to accept jews this is just a reminder we're not like you we're not supposed to be like you supposed to you're chosen you're not this is a reminder for those three people you're not supposed to be like them you're chosen you're hashem's princes you're not supposed to be talking about your sexuality and your desires that you can't control and celebrate a war against god you're not supposed to do that and even they themselves are telling you you're not supposed to do that [Music] you
