VAYIKRA PURIM LOVE OF JEWS & TORAH - Stump The Rabbi (197)

instead of focusing on when mhia comes we have to be more focused on preparing for whenever the msia comes we already prepared right there and then because the opportunity we have right now is to do chuv before mashia comes because once mhia comes it's not going to be the same opportunity as we have right now and that's why it says and we say it in our prayers throughout the week that the go the Mia will come to bring Salvation to those that used to be pushim used to be spiritual criminals used to waste seed used to walk around not modest used to be stingi used to have a lot of time wasted instead of learning T so when people do Chu they become part of the people that will get the Salvation that mashia will bring to the world we're back here on our Wednesday night stump the rabbi Series where after some you guys will ask some questions and will give us the answers tonight's shu is going to be for uh the of will Elevate her for all of the Good Deeds that her dear daughter and sons are doing in her behalf and we'll continue be to do uh whether it's sponsoring this you or it's a uh sponsoring the on our behalf certainly the that's unlike any other that you can do for someone that's passed away is to do on their behalf such as helping people do CH by sponsoring this and uh helping people learn to uh anyone uh that um wants more details we'll get into that in a second but first and foremost of course we have to remind everyone that these are also for the for Rim benan Leana s s Leana aavid and all of is and all the righteous Noah that continue to learn toah with us continue to contribute uh and help us do all the wonderful things that we're doing uh anyone that wants to sponsor these uh weekly sh can go on our website it.org uh right in the front page there's a donate button with multiple options and one of them is to sponsor the shim uh for those of you that have asked me to come to your communities uh to come uh set something up as I've said many times it's uh hard for me to travel but I'm willing to do it but only if people arrange uh large uh events uh so you could contact us if you could set something up uh if not we could just simply continue doing what we're doing now which is helping tens of thousands of people anyway uh also for those of you that have yet to fulfill the MIT of uh and uh have won a place to do it that you know it's going to go to the right place go to BHP pm.org BHP pm.org uh that's our website where uh you could do the mitvah for each member of the family including if the wife is pregnant for the uh uh upcoming baby also the to help the poor this is more important than or even the even though they both go to the same destination uh and for those of you that are not familiar with all the things that we do during porm to help the poor uh we combin Torah and at the same time and this year we're doing something that's bigger than what we even did last year uh which will discuss uh tonight as well but we're going to have 500 learned t on and also 500 kids the yes the of was kids learning to and that's really the big thing that uh cancelled the evil decree of ham uh so we're going to have 500 aim you know Torah Scholars and also 500 kids studying tah on poring for a few hours and each one of them is going to get a uh you know money to uh to help them with the holiday to help them uh you know during this uh time of the year it's a uh not only helping uh them but it's also helping all of is uh have more T in the world more T in the world so this is going to be a huge event we usually get some recordings from it like we did last year and the years before so if you want to be part of uh you know a uh Torah SL and helping the poor all at the same time go to BHP pm.org and you could do it over there I know that there are many organizations that are raising money at this time uh but I don't really know of anyone that's doing uh what we've done and what we're doing so uh for any of you that uh still haven't fulfilled that Mitzvah highly recommend going there so with that being said we of course have a uh a new book that we are starting which isph in the Tora uh we also have puim upon us uh which is a unique holiday uh you know that uh actually really starts uh tomorrow morning because we have the fast of Estel uh tomorrow starting uh you know a different you know pretty much at Sunrise or a little bit before Sunrise just check your local times to make sure that you know when the fast starts it begins in the morning and ends at sundown or but the exact times you should look up uh based on your zip code and your location of when the fast is the fast is a relatively easy fast uh where uh you don't eat and you don't drink but uh you're able to drive you're able to uh uh you know conduct your businesses whatever it is it's just in essence fasting of course uh the the point of all of the fast is to elevate our our ourselves to get closer to hem and study Tor but but again not everyone is able to study tah and just take off a day of work so you're allowed to work tomorrow um as far as a uh the migil on the other hand the Miga we're actually uh going to be reading it on M Shabbat uh in the uh anyone that's in the Exile and anyone that's in yush uh is going to be reading it uh on H Sunday so we have M Shabbat and uh for anyone that's in America and England in Australia Canada uh most of Israel uh is any place that doesn't have a uh a wall that was covering it at the time of Yeshua Bon uh which we'll discuss tonight why this is even the case uh all of those places read the meila on the 14th of AD which is on M Shabbat uh and also again in the morning uh then you have a uh the um the walled cities uh like yush uh have to read the meila on Sunday uh and also Monday morning so in essence the uh uh there's a very big um uh discussion about it why this is the case and many people don't realize uh the significance of all of this uh and what does it have to do with uh Yeshua Bon why why Yeshua Bon even connected to me Yeshua Bon preceded the Milla by over a thousand years uh so it's not he wasn't alive at the time of the porm story uh so why is uh why is this even connected to him uh even more so uh the uh you know starts theph and it is perhaps the most difficult part of the toat one of the most difficult part of the five books of Moses uh because it talks about all of the matters of corot the sacrifices Purity impurity uh very very uh deep subject that uh kazal teach was uh taught to Children uh because their uh Souls were so their you know were so pure that they were able to retain the information with much ease in comparison to adults that un fortunately made sins and it's more difficult for them to absorb the information so as difficult as via is of course there is a endless amount of lessons we can learn from it but again at the same token we have to understand what's the connection between uh what's the connection between and and me what's the connection within uh all of this and helping the poor people specifically at this time of the year um and uh quite frankly uh the uh mitv that we have during this time of the year are very significant if you understand them if you don't understand them they just become you know very uh you know robotic and and meaningless and it just seems like another opportunity to just spend money uh if you don't really understand the value of them so first and foremost we're going to uh start off by um going into the parasa uh then we're going to go into connect it all and try to see where takes us before we start taking your questions so starts off with a uh a lesson in humility but also a lesson in the significance of mosu in the eyes of hem the first word where it says mhe that hem called Moshe uh the the word VRA has a small letter alif an unusually small uh letter Alf in the word uh in order to uh give us the message that uh mosenu was the greatest of all prophets uh you know in is but there was a great prophet uh you know named bam for the gim but there were although bilam had a certain strength that even mosenu did not have uh certainly he was not beloved by hem like mosenu was because when hasem calls Moshe he calls them whereas When hasem Calls he calls him which is missing that Al so in essence the it's the same exact word but there is that extra Al that gives to Moshe why why is this so important because mosenu did not ask for this extra credit he did not ask for this extra anything in fact uh he thought that he was the equivalent to even the lowliest of men and specifically because of this is why loved him and also made him the vessel of the Torah itself andu knew the entire Torah he received the entire Torah what he gave us what he was allowed to give us is the essence of the Torah the essence of the Torah is what we have uh which is a endless amount of of information to the point where R hul says that if the entire ocean was ink and all of the trees were quills you know that you can write with at the time uh and uh all of the land was paper it would not be enough to write down all of the Torah knowledge that he knew himself and what he knew what hulkus knew was not even a lick of water in the ocean in comparison to his rabbi ranan Z and of course R Zak didn't know anywhere near as much T ASU so we see that the Torah is endless and that's why even if you start off with the same exact topic you can elaborate on it literally to no end furthermore we go into the Torah we see that gives us a mus lesson a mus lesson through the cor through the sacrifices where the Torah says uh in regards to the sacrifices that a uh um when a man this is in chapter one of uh VRA which is Leviticus in English chapter one verse number two where it talks about where it says when a man among you brings an offering to hasem from animals from the cattle or from the flock shall you bring your offering so in the Hebrew word the word be is it's a kosher animal uh it's cattle but and Bak is also in essence you're seeing here two words that are more or less synonymous one after the other so why say why say now if you say listen you know you need to bring a sacrifice uh you know what kind of sacrifice you going to bring oh I'm going to bring a uh a cow oh so you're bringing a b okay now if you go to the meat store and you say listen I want some meat you're not going to tell the guy I want b or I want a cow you're GNA say I want bakar bakar is the meat but obviously this is it's the same thing this is a cow this is a car but cow but there's two different words and they're used one after the other so the B teaches here that's because the first time the word for the animal B is used it's not referring to the sacrifice but rather referring to the one that's bringing the sacrifice the person the person that brought this sacrifice this Bak he is a b why is he a b because he made a sin now you say yeah but he he did it unintentionally if it was intentionally the punishment would be much worse the fact that he didn't pay attention to the reality that Hashem is watching everything that he has to have fear of hem that he has to be much more careful with his actions that already puts him in a category where he's acting like a b he's acting like an animal why an animal doesn't have rules it could eat where it wants to eat it could drink where it wants to drink if it wants to drink its friend's uh water it'll drink its friend's water if it wants to eat its uh uh friend's uh uh uh food it'll eat its friend's food it wants to walk it wants to sleep it wants to procreate there's no uh uh a um uh uh a uh you know loyalty uh among the uh among the wives or the husbands in the animal world with the exception of a couple of exceptional animals like the dove but the point being is is that if an animal walks around and just decides to eat wherever drink wherever procreate wherever you're not going to say oh that's a bad cow you're just going to Simply say the cow is being a cow but if a person needless to say if a Jew walks around as if there's no God in heaven that's actually watching every action and every thought that you do does business in a way as if there's no God watching every transaction that you do handles their body or mishandles their body or her body as if there's no God that gave rules for Morality then in essence that person is acting like a be is acting like an animal so the Tora tells us this that's bringing a be that's bringing a a sacrifice he has rules even for the sacrifice you say yeah but he did it accidentally even then if he didn't do it accidentally it'd be much worse than just a b much worse than a b now person says yeah but sometimes you have to bring this B where uh you know you're not sure if you actually made a sin how is it so so Kaz bringing an example if the one person had was eating at the bet mikdash he's eating has take a break he's human he has to eat and he has two pieces of meat in front of them now he put one piece of meat and that meat was the meat that he has you know he wants to eat kosher meat good meat everything else the me next to it looks the same but it's actually and it's part of the sacrifice and he's forbidden from eating it now he eats the meat and then his friend comes goes whoa I think you just ate the wrong meat well how do you know I'm not sure maybe I did maybe I didn't for that he has to bring a sacrifice now he's going to say yeah listen this this uh possible accident just cost me $225,000 to buy a cow to bring the sacrifice maybe I really didn't do it maybe it was just a loss of money so kazal says no the fact that you weren't paying attention to what you were doing means that you were acting like a Bama anyway which means that even though you may have not actually eaten the wrong meat you may have not actually made the sin the fact that you're not conscious of your actions already means that you're acting like an animal so here we see already from the first couple of verses in this parad is's an endless amount of lessons for life if you don't give yourself rules that to comply with you're going to be a very very difficult person to deal with it's going to be very difficult for you to maintain any relationship with success over the long run it's going to be very difficult for you to uh enjoy life why because rules are necessary on the other hand if you give yourself man-made rules it could even be worse why because the man-made rules they change they change with the times they change with the attitudes they change with the community they're unfortunately not something that's stable today he likes this the next week he likes that one day the scientist says this the next week he says something else and this is the reason why is telling us that you got to learn T day and night this is what he tells Yeshua Ben you have to learn T you have to learn toah day and night why because these are the rules of God God's rules do not change no matter what the idol worshiping Christians or the uh uh uh the Muslims say God's rules do not change he gave us the rules that's what they are so what we have here is that is telling us it's not a matter of the Torah being good for you you need the Torah it's not a matter of the Torah being good for life it is life but unfortunately a person that does not learn tah is not going to believe that he's not going to believe that the Torah is life he's not going to believe that he needs Torah it may be nice it may be wise it may be intellectually stimulating and may even have some good advice but I need it ah come on now you're exaggerating Rabbi and that's why the Torah itself gives us endless amount of lessons to remind us of the things that we need to know even before we reel them now at the end of the parasha we see that the uh there's all types of sin offerings there's all types of uh sacrifices that have to be brought and one example of a sacrifice is a that's brought at the end of the parasa is when someone cheated in business now this is relevant to everyone anyone that works anyone that transacts business anyone that buys anyone that sells in so many words if you're breathing this is relevant to you why because kazal teaches us that while not everyone is going to make some of the bigger like violating Shabbat or or or or or idol worship almost everyone is caught on stealing why because of the way they conduct their business because of the way people conduct their business they cheat they manipulate they they say one thing but really it's something else because they figure yeah you know he's Rich he could afford it like just because someone's Rich that somehow gives you permission to steal from him or just because someone is not knowledgeable that means you have some type of permission to cheat him so the problem is is that when people have man-made rules needless to say their own set of rules that they create themselves they are bound to be cheaters they're bound to be Liars they're bound to be people that suffer tremendously in their life from their own actions because even if they make a fortune of money from their cheating and their lying that money will never have God's blessing which means that the money will go to a bunch of different things that uh you don't want to spend the money on so yes you may have 10 different stores making you $500,000 a month each but you'll end up seeing that all of that money more or less goes to a bunch of places you don't want to spend money on you're spending money on lawyers because you're being sued you're spending money on doctors because you're sick you're spending money on fertility because your wife simply can't get give birth to any child even though she's young and healthy and you have no idea why she can't give birth you're spending money on psychiatrist because you're depressed but you don't know why you're spending money on all types of things and in reality it looks like you're rich because you have a few toys but if we go deep down inside to see what's going on in that Kish of yours we find Misery we find unhappiness we find depression we find someone that wishes they weren't even born why because you're missing that blessing all the money in the world is not going to help you all the money in the world is not going to help you and this is one of the things that brings that aside from desecrating God's word violating Shabbat wasting seed all the common things that we've mentioned many times over the years one of the primary things that brings a curse to life and actually a curse to all of is is when Jews deal with business dishonestly and they don't have blessing now here kazal tell us that when somebody cheats God in business somebody cheats God in business meaning they take money from the bet mikdash they found some golden cup they like the golden cup they take it for thems now they don't sell it they don't use it they just put it on the Shelf as a memorabilia God is willing to not punish the person so long as he doesn't use it if he uses it like a use the uh garments the eight garments of the Ken or like belar all of these use the uh tools of the BET mikdash and they got punished for it one at one point or another one of the reasons why uh uh Vash is uh killed off right at the beginning of is because she wore the garments of the she wore the while making you know without any clothes under it of course because she was like a Zona and she made unfortunately the Jewish girls work on Shabbat without clothes at all so that was one of the reasons why she got got punished with s the skin disease also a tail came out of her and Horn that's why she wasn't willing to go to when he called her it wasn't because she was uh suddenly embarrassed and shy for people looking at her no she walked around as if uh you know she God just created her like was just created but obviously she this is a woman that was a disgusting woman but she decid she said that she's not going to because she got the punishment of her lifetime which is the skin disease and the horn in the tail for for desecrating God's word and also God's children but more than anything else if a person takes one of the things from the bet mikdash is willing to in essence not punish him if he uses it punishment comes but it's not the same if a Jew steals from somebody else if a Jew steals from somebody else whether it's stealing from them outright by taking some from from them when they're not looking or cheating them in business dishonesty and things of that nature the torat tells us that the person's sins are considered treacherous to God they're considered an Abomination why because how how is this uh any different because a is saying that when we go against each other we cheat other people we're not just going against that person we're going against the ultimate purpose of the entire tah and a considers a person that cheats in business as the most hateful person who denies God because once a person denies the authority of the lawgiver where he's not following the MIT he could easily violate all of the Norms of morality as well and this is the reason why there is no such thing as an honest atheist there's no such thing as someone that is honest but is also doesn't believe and follow God there's no such thing it's impossible once you deny God you're certainly going to do even worse to people but it's the same thing otherwise once you go against people it's only a matter of time before you go against God now the only way that a person can truly overcome these difficulties of the enticement of money to cheat the enticement of immorality to cheat the enticement of all of the sins is by learning Torah now learning Torah most people don't understand the obligation most people do not understand the obligation of learning toah and they do it when they get a chance or with an attitude that is when I get a chance I will learn when I get a chance now during Pim we have a unusual connection between the holiday and the rest of the Torah where we have several that were obligated to do M reading the Mig as I said at night and then during the day in most places in the world you have to read it on the 14th which this year comes out on M Shabbat you're not allowed to read it during Shabbat uh then you have to read it again during the morning uh and then in uh play Walt cities you read it the following day but there is an exception in questionable places where it's not sure if these places either had a a wall at the time of Yeshua Bon or whether this is the particular place that the Torah is referring to or not and in those particular places which interestingly enough one of them is Gaza you are actually supposed to read it on two days on the 14th and on the 15th now um pin that because obviously there's a war going on right now and reading at night is obviously dangerous for the soldiers then they all have to read it only on uh M Shabbat uh and uh during the morning and not uh the following day not take the risk uh twice but the point being is is that under normal circumstances it would actually be two days uh for that City and and then several other places around uh uh around the world in in in Israel now aside from we also have to do we have to you know show Unity by sending a uh meal to uh our friends people we care about each man has to se send at least two meals to you know to two different people one to each person and each woman has to send to at least to women women should not send to men men should not send to women it's not appropriate unless you're sending it to your mother or your father or your brothers but uh it's supposed to be a meal where it's meaning it has to be at least a cake of some kind or some type of MZ and a drink of course if you could make a a me meal you could make kala something like that of course the more the you know the better but the point being is is that it's supposed to be a meal and not just a box of candy candy is good but it's not a meal unless you're 5 years old now the amount of money that people spend on Mish is uh usually very generous and we enjoy Mish very much and spend a fortune on them as well uh but it's very important for a person to know whatever you spend on it should definitely not be as much as you spend on helping the poor and the helping the poor during is very very critical so much so that uh anyone that comes to you uh with a with an open hand meaning asking fora you give them you give them whoever they are religious not religious young old they come to you on this day you give them now of course you can give based on your own uh you know what you have if you're wealthy you give more if you're not so wealthy you give less but give nonetheless give we also have the mitvah of saying the adding the to the to our to our prayers uh we have also the S on puim itself which is during the day uh the sud needs to be with meat and wine needs to be with meat and wine uh don't have one of these veggie or vegan it has to be with meat uh of course Kosher meat everything kosher um and uh it's prohibition to to be sad to be fasting uh to to do a eulogy of some kind not allowed uh to do that on the uh day now back to our subject at hand as far as why is Yeshua Bon why is yesu really connected to all of this the in in the first d uh says that the uh in the cities that were not walled at the time of Yeshua benun who was the disciple of mosenu porm is celebrated on the 14th of adal and the cities that were walled at the time of Yeshua benun they celebrate puim on the 15th now one of the reasons that kazal like and other use as the reason why the walled cities celebrate the following day is because if you remember at the end of the meila the Salvation came in twofold after am man was killed his sons were hung you know of course we were able to fight against all of those people that wanted to kill the Jews that were supposed to kill the Jews in one day we're able to go defend ourselves and fight them and after we finished fighting them and killing them during the first day EST comes to a and asks if he would allow them to do it for another day meaning that it wasn't finished so kazal says that during the in in inside the cities that were not walled they already finished all business as far as killing their enemies already on the first day on the 14th but in the wall cities they need a little bit more time to get in there to find everybody all of these enemies all of these Nazis we need a little bit more time so that was the second day that was the second day now fine that we have wal cities for that reason but what's the connection to yesu what's the connection to Yeshua benun K says well Yeshua Ben is the one that came to is with Isel and went and fought against 31 Nations there were 31 different nations living Canaanite Nations that were living in is and he went to war against 31 different nations 31 different Legions armies huge Wars Yeshua Bon was a hero unlike anything we could possibly imagine so we deserve some respect fine but why unim why not I don't know make a special holiday yeshu day why not mention him on I don't know during some other I don't know or sh or some other time why pull him yes he conquered the land of Israel fine but the whole Miracle of puim was hundreds of years later so anyone that looks at the beginning of the Book of Joshua which is the first book of the tanak after the five books of Moses you'll see that Yeshua goes to war but during the war one of the wars Wars one of the many wars yesu had some battle they fought there's blood there's people were winning Yeshua banun is in his Camp it's later on in the day and all of a sudden he raises his head and he sees a man with a sword out and this was no ordinary man and he asks the man are you with us or if you come to kill us and the man says I Am Not a Human Being I am from the army of God okay are you here to kill us to fight with us says I'm here in the name of the Torah why aren't you studying Torah now it's not like Yeshua benon was playing video games it's not like Yeshua benon was you know exercising or playing with his kids he had a war after a war after a war to manage but the angel comes and says to him that I am in the from the I'm the angel in the army of God and I came here because why isn't there a instead of continuing this dialogue tell us yeshu on the spot stopped everything that he was doing and went into the depth of Al study this is not like a m or a or just a sh about the weekly par not that there's anything wrong with them but we're talking about the deepest level of Torah study highest level of Torah study is the depths of Al and Yeshua benon instantly went in there why because Yeshua benun knew that there is a Mitzvah is a mitvah that we are never allowed to abandon the Torah under any condition and the Rambin this telling us that whether you are s sick or old or young or busy or working or poor or rich or married and everything in your life needs your attention want your attention need your time want your time your wife wants your time she wants to go to the mall she wants to talk about the kids she wants to talk about what to cook for Shabbat she wants to talk about whether she's fat or whether she's skinny or whether we're going to have another kid or whether this or whether that and then after you finish with her the kids need your time and they want ABA to play and they want ABA to help them with the homework and they want ABA to go around and uh you know walk around the neighborhood and they want this and they want that and after you finish that then the boss calls and need you need you to work this weekend and he needs you to work overtime and he needs you to become more dedicated to work and he needs you to produ use more and then after you finish with him the customer calls and the customer says listen if you don't start delivering better I'm going to your competition and I want you to do this and I want you to do that and before you know it you're already sick to your stomach and I don't feel good and I don't want to do this and I can't and you're in the bathroom for 5 hours and you're throwing up and you can't even eat and you can't even drink and guess what you still need to learn Torah you still need to learn Torah Yeshua benon is telling us no matter what you're doing even if you're in the middle of a war the moment you have a you're not killing somebody or being killed there's a break obligated to learn to that moment you're obligated to learn to now there are a couple of times during the year where it's less tah is being learned on puim and on Yim on y it's a day of atonement one of the high holidays the Jewish people spend the overwhelming majority of that day the 25 hours or so fasting praying doing chuva there's very little time especially if you're Safari for anything else first night pray for a few hours with the long VD at the end to save some time for the following day so you could actually pray musaf in time so you do a big part of the prayer of the tun already on the first night then you get a little bit of sleep you start early in the day especially in ER when we went there for the holidays we already started praying at 5:00 in the morning and it wasn't because we wanted to uh finish uh in uh you know by by 6 or s or 8 prayed for hours but you start early in the day I know in other places around the world they don't necessarily start that early usually they start even later start at 9 or 8:30 or 8 but uh some of the kot that are very very committed do the same thing as where they start 4:30 5:00 in the morning and once you finish five six seven hours later there's a short break of maybe an hour or two even three depending on again on how fast people pray and and so on what time you started usually there's about two hour break during that two hours most people rest and then you go back to prayer for another 5 hours so there's very little time so so therefore there's less Torah being learned during that day for obvious reasons it's not like you're hanging out playing video games you're uh you're praying the other day that there's less Torah being learned is on why because you have in the morning you have to read the m and then on top of that you have to do the M have to be done on the uh during the day not at night then you have to uh make sure that uh you're you're you're helping the poor on that day so anyone that contributes to our campaign you know we're obviously going to have everything that we're doing on the days of Purim and not just a uh uh not just uh uh ahead of time we have to make sure that the uh the five the thousand people that are learning are going to be learning on the days of puim and we're having some people in yush some people in n a few different places because there's a couple of days to cover ground for everyone that's contributing regardless of where you live but point being is is that after you do the Mig after you help the poor after you do the Mish then you have the you have the feast Feast you have a good time drink a little bit eat a little bit have fun with the kids uh maybe uh have some activities you know all types of things and before you know it you have to go pray so there's less T usually learned by people during po many times people don't learn at all hence the reason why Yeshua benon is connected to this holiday even though he preceded puim by hundreds of years Yeshua benun conquered not because he was The Greatest Warrior in history not because he was the smartest man in history not because he was the richest man in history not because of any other reason other than the fact that Yeshua benon made sure to commit himself and is to the Torah and he fulfilled the obligation of learning Torah day and night despite the battle and the moment he got even the message of a rebuke it didn't he didn't require a further discussion he didn't require a anyone to convince him on the spot he was already able to go into the depths of Al which means that he was learning to already at other times and therefore he was able to go and continue what he was already doing it's just that there was a break which logically made sense but spiritually was forbidden and the same concept goes for us we have to understand that even though puim and the rest of the year are full of excuses of why we're not going to have time to learn to we have to make sure that we find a time to learn toah and when we're not learning tah we have to make sure that our spirit spiritual meter is still going someone is learning to on our behalf someone is doing Chua on our behalf how could do we do that if you're not learning toah that means that you're either sleeping or you're working or you're spending some time with family it's not that much options outside from that even during those few times working sleeping family you have to make sure that that spiritual meter is going how by making sure that part of the money that you're making from the business deals that you're doing from the real estate Investments that you're doing from the entrepreneurship that you're doing from the job for the local uh government office that you're doing whatever it is that you're doing you take part of that money and you invest it into helping people learn to into helping people do Chua why because once you take at least the M the 10% that you have and you invested into the tah that means that you are taking that time that you worked for and you're not looking to collect the money to go buy yourself more food and become fatter to go buy yourself more toys that you can't even fit in your house to you're not no you're looking to use the money that hasm gave you to increase to in the world because even though you yourself can't learn during that time you still have an obligation to learn and therefore you do it now sometimes the most extraordinary examples are what's necessary for people to understand or for the message to really hit home now many times when you tell people invest into K invest into learning to into either people give just blindly to Whoever Whenever without really putting too much thought into it like they would put into a real estate investment or a stock investment or a business investment of some kind uh almost like it's a burden like they're paying a bill or they're going to give but not as much as they give for something that is more close to their heart such as helping poor people now I'm here to tell you that even for those that like to help poor people more than they like to publicize T there's an example that will show you that even that if we're not investing in t we won't have the Merit and the ability and the knowhow to invest properly even to help poor people what's the example right now everyone that's Jewish is aware of the fact that we are in a war not only in a war in Gaza but different parts of the Middle East different parts of the world some on the battlefield some on the technological end some on the political end there's a war against am Isel anti-Semitism is openly acceptable everywhere across the board now there is a war but the part of the war that hurts everyone that still has a Jewish heart or as close to the Jewish people as the hostages the hostages that the took raped murdered and whoever still left the hostages they still have everyone thinks about the hostages and it breaks their heart if I told you what if I can find a way to get to each one of the hostages in AA in Gaza over there which one of you is going to sign up is there a Jewish person that will not sign up is there a Jewish person that's not going to go all out on this m you're not going to send the Mish man with a couple of chocolates and a little root beer no you're going to send them a whole barbecue machine with the steaks inside broiling you're going to put some p in there you put kumus you put matuka you put Safari food ashkanazi food You're gonna put yeminite food you're gonna put every food Under the Sun and you're gonna make sure to give it an every variety of K maybe it's maybe it's MB may maybe it's a just uh you know the uh uh OU whatever ever it is you're G to make sure that the K is not a problem the type of food not a problem what he has Celiac maybe well give him gluten-free what he likes the meat only we give him every type of meat he likes what does he like he likes the uh the the the uh the stuff that's fattening we'll give him some candy we'll give him some chocolates we'll give him some cheese we'll give him some this we'll give him some that each is going to be an investment and a half if it cost you less than $1,500 the person i' be surprised and that's just for one that's just for you imagine you have to do two of them $3,000 Rabbi no problem you're gonna get to the hostage no problem can I give more than two Rabbi I say fine you give more than two but not too much oh can I give 10 what not 10 I just two 10 10 RAB can you do me a favor I want 10 host I want to give my Mish not $1,500 on a clip for 10 people can I do it all right fine fine fine before you know it he's got a thousand oh I told you 10 10 maximum goes no no 10 for me but I brought my friends why your friends also want to give M man yeah what they're doing the same thing no they did a little bit more each one two three $4,000 M before you know it you raised a100 million in why it's going to the hostages it's going to the hostages why you don't want them to have RAB get them the you you got the connections go to a right you going give before you know it you raised a million 2 million 5 million $500 million to go to the hostages to give why you want to dovah right you want to do Mitzvah now let me ask you a question the hostages you're right if you could help him you should help him if you could send them M you should send M but is the hostage whoever it is is whether it's that little cute baby may hasem protect him or it's the mother or it's the guy that's sitting next to him or it's somebody else's daughter or somebody else's son or somebody else's father are any of them better than the Jewish people that are not hostages right now but they're not hostages of Aza but they're hostages of poverty where they don't have food they don't have money to even have a celebration onuka they don't have money to celebrate P they don't have money to celebrate sh and needless to say they don't have money to celebrate puim right now they don't have money they're not hostages of the isim the hostages of our stinging and our selective giving we're going to give things that are close to a heart when you give to things that are close to your heart you're giving things that are sometimes far from A's desire there are literally endless amount of people that we can help right now in is we've gone far above and beyond year after year to help the poor in is not only during the holidays and before the holidays but during the entire year every day there's a new story every day somebody else is getting married and they don't have money to pay for the wedding every day somebody's having a baby and they need to pay for basic things every day somebody needs diapers every day somebody needs food for their five kids and the husband died or the husband left or something happened every there's a new story and every day we try to do whatever we can yeah just put it on the card put it on the card Rabbi the card is is is getting tired already yeah just put it on the card you want to do a campaign no time for campaigns just more just help these poor people what are you going to do there's literally not enough not enough not enough time and a date to help all the people that we could possibly help but unfortunately when people make decisions based on their emotions instead of based on what the Torah obligates us to do we make the wrong decisions now I agree with you if I had the opportunity to send aish to each one of the hostages I'll easily send a $1,500 M to them but you know what that means also that when I help the poor people I have to give nothing less than $1,500 nothing less than $3,000 nothing less than whatever it is I do to something that pinches my heart so when I see people send me messages and say Rabbi I donated to the campaign and they send me a screenshot of the of what they donated it makes me happy they donate unless I know them a little more and I know that this guy makes $100,000 a year this girl makes a quar million dollar a year this guy makes a half a million dollars a year this person lives in a $2 million house and they show me some receipt of some $50 donation or100 or $200 and I say to myself would they give the same amount if I told them let's give it to the hostages I bet you not now they're not bad people CU obviously if they're giving they're decent people you're all decent people we're all decent people if we're giving if we're learning we're all decent people we're not trying to do anything bad but the problem is that we're ignorant of the Torah we're cluess of the Torah and therefore many times we make decisions based on emotions and not based on what the Torah obligates us that's why when Yeshua heard that the Mal is there in the name of the Torah because there's no Torah being learned right there in then he didn't need any further explanation immediately went inside to the depths of the Torah and that's why yesu benon had the blessing to conquer 31 different nations that's why Yeshua benon had to receive the cavod the honor of having this entire holiday of puim decided based on his time what he saw what he did if there was a walled City the holidays on this day if it's not a walled City at the time of Yeshua Bon it's on a different day why because the only reason why gave us the land of Israel is because of the Torah is because of the dedication of the Torah not just picking up a seph t and kissing it but rather rather listening and living by the words inside it not just saying we know the story of the written tah but living by the rules and the depth of the oral tah when a person simply decides to dedicate themselves to the Torah that means emotions garbage a will that's what's going to make my decisions with that we will be able to not only celebrate puim the way it's supposed to be celebrated with Tor with with but we're going to do it in a measure that blessed us on that day and the rest of the year because that's what a wants from us we need to make sure we use every tool that he gives us in order to serve him and not just simply serve ourselves and somehow fit a our life for our world after we know this after we live like this we'll be able to literally destroy and we'll finish off with the story that may not necessarily give us so much details about theid but will tell us the details of the power of tah when someone has it about 10 years ago a story was publicized where literally the power of Torah came to life there was a Jewish man that uh religious learns Torah follows mitv good guy driving one day in America and he's driving driving and uh as he gets to some Street last second he sees in front of him some old man ran into the street ignoring the lights ignoring the traffic ignoring everything else and it was not enough time for him to stop the car and he hit the old man and killed him of course the Jewish guy is not happy about this situation he's very very upset he killed an old man but it's even scary because with that there being a death police arrive court cases charges after they review the footage from the cameras everywhere they see that really the driver the Jewish driver was not at fault the old man was irresponsible and just literally ran into the street in a last minute not giving anybody giving the driver even a uh you know enough time to stop and uh it was really an accident so the Jewish man is released from this but he still feels horrible because after all a Jewish doesn't want to kill anybody doesn't want to kill anybody he feels bad about it he says he learns in the Tora that gives those that have Merit he gives those that have Merit opportunities to earn even more Merit and those that have sins opportunities to create more sins more problems so why did I have why did hasem give me this tragedy what sin did I make he said I learned Torah I commit myself to Torah I follow the MIT why did hasem have me as the tool to kill this old man and it bothered him to no end where do you go when something bothers you to no end you go to the world of Torah and he went to the he went to shalom kki aside from being a literally a giant in T he was also known for giving very very short and minimal answers blessings were bua meaning the acronym of the words he would use he would give very short answers when this man came to see kki he tells him Rabbi you know this happened to me you know I learn to I do I do all these different things I don't understand why this happened to me I kill this old man now even though he's a still why why why do I have to kill somebody why ISM using me to kill somebody what did I doski thinks for a second and looks at him and he says amalik what me no no I keep to go no amalik meaning that the man that he killed the old man that he killed was Amal which there's a Mitzvah if you know who Amal is it's a mitvah to kill them we have a Mas that the Nazis were amalik also theel says that when ad marries Ishmael they also create amalik there all types of amalik out there the main common denominator among Amal is not just anti-Semitism but anti Tor but how would you know that this old man in America is a you don't ask these types of questions to you just simply accept the answer they thank you very much and go on your life but this this Jewish man he couldn't it just bothered him why did the r he doesn't say anything for no reason he's not going to say something to pacify me how I know that what he's saying obviously has meaning but why why why amalik why not say measure for measure reward and Punishment whatever it is like why out of all the answers in the world he says to me that the reason why I killed this guy is because he's Amal but it was an accident why should I be used to kill amalik and it bothered this man to no end now the old man that he killed didn't have a wife or kids and lived in house and the Jewish guy found out the house and he decided to go there nobody's obviously in the house and he says I have to see who this guy is I want to learn who he is he decided to break into the house snuck into the house maybe through a window or something and started looking at the house and he sees regular house everything is very neat very proper very clean looks some basic stuff nothing out of the ordinary kitchen uh living room all basic stuff goes his bedroom goes to the bedroom and he sees some things that are normal in the bedroom and then there's some boxes under the bed so he decides let's just look at some of these boxes maybe we'll find some things that are relevant to this picture to get to know who this man that I killed is and he opens the boxes he opens the boxes and he opens the boxes do you know what happens after he opens the boxes well I'm going to tell you what happens after he opens the boxes and once I tell you what what happens after he opens the boxes you're going to think that you already know the whole story and you're going to think wow amazing ra kki is amazing but no no no you still don't know the whole story because even after I tell you what happens after he opens the boxes you have to stay tuned to see what actually happens after he opens the boxes he opens the boxes he opens the boxes and he sees pictures inside the boxes but those pictures were not from last week or last month or even last year those pictures were from the Holocaust those pictures were from the Nazi army those pictures were inside the Holocaust inside the Concentration Camp those pictures show that this old man was a Nazi a Nazi murderer inside the Holocaust that escaped the holoc caust came to America and lived in peace and inside these pictures you see this Nazi this amalik inside these pictures posing laughing while there's dead Jews everywhere and as this Jew is flipping through the pictures he can't believe it raim kki was right he was right this guy is aik but I still need to know why did use me to kill aik why did use me to kill amalik on Shabbat we have to read which is to remember amalik our Ultimate Enemy why did use me to kill amalik this Nazi he sees through the pictures another picture another picture picture and more dead Jews and more smiling Nazis and this man is in every one of the pictures and he goes through one after another until he gets to a picture that shocks him and is's going to shock you in the picture he sees his grandfather his grandfather is kneeling there on his knees with a gun to its head the holder of the gun is the old man that he killed and this was the last picture of his grandfather before he got murdered by that same old man that he killed a who made sure that this Jew not only learns toah lives toah but sees the toah and the measure for measure and used him to take revenge against amalik but not just any amalik the very same amalik that killed and murdered in Cold Blood his grandfather and was proud of it to such an extent that he even kept a picture of it aik is alive and well but sometimes amalik comes in physical form like the Nazis like the isim that murdered us on the 7th of October but sometimes amalik is inside our heart and is hiding in there with all types of heretical thoughts all types of foolishness all types of anti- Torah and anti- good beliefs but it's so subtle that we don't even realize that it's there during these next couple of days we have to fulfill all of these MIT but on top of everything else we have to use this time to destroy amalik the one that's in our heart the one that tells us not to listen to D the one that tells us the opposite of what the will of hasem the one that tells us to follow our emotions to follow what we see to follow what we hear to follow what says not to do as we read in sh is every single day multiple times a day don't follow what your eyes and heart tell you follow the Torah if you follow the Torah you'll be following the will of hem with that that being said you will give us some questions will give us the answers see we start off with some people from Facebook and then we'll go to Tik Tok and YouTube let's see what do we got nice comments nice blessings but I'm looking for questions okay let's look maybe we'll find something here second here we go is is Bam the name or title of is Ban is Ban the name or title of M uh not to my knowledge do I have to choose definitively what rifka's age was via the interpretation where there's a m there is a uh tradition of her being 3 years old six years old uh I mean as long as it's within one of those uh you know options that the sages have told us uh you're fine but you can't just simply decide that she was 25 years old and uh you know in 6' five height and inches you can't just decide what it is it has to be something that agrees with our tradition uh uh why do some Jews wear the talit Katan on the outside of their shirt while some wear it on the inside and some on the outside uh so that's simply a custom and comfort so there is a uh importance of wearing whichit Katan like this is a mitvah from the Torah uh and uh anytime you wear four cornered garment you have to wear as a man you have to wear a tiit now there's no obligation to have it on the inside or on the outside it's whatever you prefer some uh some uh Customs were uh you know preferred it to be on the outside like I have it right now uh but some decided that they uh prefer it to be on the inside now uh in regards to the Customs you know again it was you know there there's different reasons for it one of the reasons that the ones that are wearing it on the inside is because the Aral said that when you have theit on the outside it uh could be enticing the uh mikim the uh negative spirits that are out there and which if you're not holy enough can create damage meaning they can attack you uh so it's better to have the tiit on the inside uh so that's why the though uh that wear it on the inside they're following that custom that teaching of the uh on the other hand there are others that are saying listen even though there are mikim and even though the mikim could be dangerous if you wearing it'll protect you and it's important it's more important for you to be uh visually Jewish meaning to show your Judaism and the pride that you have of Judaism on the exterior then it is you to be concerned about mikim and therefore you should wear uh you know your Jewish garments in such a fashion that you're noticeably Jewish you know by your by the way you look that's why for example the first time in the entire tanak that the word Yi Jew appears is in meat and that Yi isi M was the Jew why is uh you know they say or is M Yi uh why why M why didn't they just say m obviously would know he was a Jew because M was visually Jewish from far away because he had long and big fat PE just like you know I have but magnified much much more that even from far away you were able to see that this is a Jew that's coming there's no way that this guy is not Jewish because obviously especially in those times it was very uh difficult to you know to determine who's Jewish based on clothing because the clothing everybody had similar clothing they had the tush you know this they had the uh kaan uh they had you know similar clothing so how can you tell this is a Jew and this is an Arab this is a Persian this is a how would you know the way that was uh modai and the Jews uh showed themselves as Jews was their pilt was their pilt that's why uh these are called also signs signs so the Jew first time in the Torah that the word Jew appears is in me so uh as far as the uh back to the tiit uh question those that are in the tradition of wearing a tiit on the outside uh say that listen uh you know wearing it on the outside being visibly Jewish is a very very important Mitzvah in itself it's not only showing your Jewish proud your Jewish Pride you're showing that your your your observance of the Torah of the mitv but also it shows your fear of heaven and not fear of man you know many times people you know they uh they you know say that they're not wearing a keepa or they're not visually Jewish because they're afraid of anti-Semitism this is complete nonsense of the one time came to a community of of Syrian Jews and he uh and he noticed that many of the uh Jews uh in the Syrian Community were Torah observant but many of them were not wearing a keepa were not wearing a keepa he said actually this is one of the stories that said recently in is uh he said that uh and he was there on a trip one of the uh people in the community that would actually teach every dayi he would teach serious was but then the Rob saw him later on that week that he was in uh that he was in the community he saw the guy walking around without bald head no keeper so oh hey how could it be and he said to the rabbi Rabbi listen you know I'm scared of anti-Semitism scared of anti-Semitism that's why he didn't wear a keeper this obviously the rabbi didn't accept it he said at least wear a hat wear a casket wear something point being is is that if you're not covering your head as a Jew it's not because you're afraid of anti-Semitism it's because you're falling for the Trap of the Satan the that's making you scared of man instead of making you scared of Hashem because the whole point of wearing a keepa is symbolic of your fear of God that's what the wearing a keepa is it's your symbolic of your fear of God you don't wear a keepa that's because you're not afraid of God you're afraid of somebody else more than God and that's a problem that's a very serious problem so it's important for a Jew to be visually Jewish to be you could see that they're Jewish now there's no obligation for you to wear the Garment or or theit outside or anything like that it's you could wear it on the inside you could wear a uh you know a uh a keeper or you could wear a hat but the point is is to do something to do something you don't have to wear a a beard you don't have to have a beard uh but certainly it's a you that doesn't mean that you're allowed to shave your uh face with a knife the point being is is that a person needs to know that their Judaism should not be separate from their life in any way should not be separate from your life in any way in fact it should be something that uh you're proud of that you're uh that uh that you're uh you're taking with you now you're going to say wait but uh what about if some uh Nazi kills me because I look Jewish or robs me if you truly believe in the Torah you'll know that the page seven says that even before you prick yourself in the finger with a needle there has to be a judgment in shim to determine whether you deserve it or not meaning that no one can help you or hurt you if it's not the will of hem and therefore you wearing a keeper or not wearing a keeper wearing a or not wearing AIT that is not the determining factor of whether anti-Semitism will hurt you or not or or or someone will rob you or not what's going to determine that is whether you have merits or obligations whether you deserve to have the suffering or you don't deserve to have the suffering and that's based on you following the tah or ignoring the tah if you follow the tah then you don't have to worry about anyone helping you or hurting you because everything that's happening to you is the will of hem everything that's happening to you is Will of hem but if you don't follow the Tora then of course you're going to disagree with what I say you're going to disagree with the Tora you're going to rationalize things you say no but you don't understand where I live people are this people are that listen khabib I grew up in a place where my school was in the projects I grew up in a place where gangsters were my classmates okay I'm very very familiar with danger I'm very familiar with death I'm very familiar with a lot of things that are not so rabish I understand I'm not Delirious I'm not oblivious I'm very very well familiar I've had all types of people go in and out of my life need some help need some this need some that I help all types of people I have some students that unfortunately their communication to me is only once every few months because they're in jail uh for different types of crimes that it's better not to hear I have some people that uh you know have got out of jail all typ YP of wonderful people that we try to help in every way and I've seen a lot so for a second don't think it's because I'm ignorant of the world it's not simply said the Torah tells us clearly runs the world there's nothing else but him the moment we fear anything but hem we are already veering towards the road of idol worship of idol worship anytime you fear anything but God you're already on the path of idol worship there's different levels of idol worship says that abah ainu had 400 400 segments to the tractate of Abazar meaning there are different levels of AAR it's not so simple it's just a statue there's different levels of AAR and when a person fears God less that already means they're on the road closer to idolatry and further from they fear hem more that means they're closer to hem and further from idolatry so when a person says and justifies them not being visually Jewish to the extent where you literally can't tell whether they're Jewish or not Jewish they're not wearing a keepa they're not uh you know they're not learning uh Torah at least nothing to speak of that anybody would even recognize the problem that they don't realize is that this answer that I'm providing they don't have the spiritual tools to accept it why because you're living a life that's so far away from the Torah that none of what I say makes sense to you because your the way you calculate things is based on your perception of them your emotional connection to them your understanding of them with the tools you have and the tools you have are the secular world so you're seeing on the news this Jewish guy got attacked that Jewish guy got attacked that synagogue got burned that guy is an uh you know terrorist you're seeing things based on the human perspective and therefore you're going to determine based on the human perspective that if you are less visually Jewish that means that you are going to increase your safety just like people think that the more weapons they have in their house the more safe they are this is antithetical to the Torah because that means that you're giving something else power above God above God if a person if a person is protected by God that means that nobody in the world can hurt them nobody in the world can hurt them even if they're inside Gaza even if somebody shoots directly at them how many Miracle stories have there been of people having shot you know people being attacked people having diseases people having accidents all types of miraculous things were simply saidh decided today is not the day you're going to die even though the laws of nature the laws of logic the laws of science said you are going to die but no God said no endless amount of Miracles have happened throughout history and endless amount of miracles happen every single day the moment we remove our understanding that everything is a miracle whether the open Miracles or the hidden Miracles or even the things that we've gotten accustomed to like blinking and seeing the moment we remove ourselves from everything being a miracle we little by little Veer towards idolatry towards things that are antithetical to the Torah so if you are already on the Torah path and have humbled yourself to a certain extent to realize that not everything is going to make sense to you right away uh but certainly it's the truth if it's coming from the Torah then you will be able to learn more and more and get and get closer to Hashem but if you're going to uh if you're going to Simply use your logic on it's going to be very difficult for you to live life uh of T now I'm not saying that you should go and go inside a camp of terrorists and tell them listen I'm Jewish but don't you know you're not going to touch me no one says put yourself into open risk wearing a keeper does not increase your risk wearing a tiit does not increase your risk anymore than wearing a hat any more than going to certain neighborhoods any more than anything else the reality is that if you say that a keeper increases your risk then put a hat there are plenty of non-jews that wear hats so what's your justification of not wearing a hat now if you say okay the the tiit increases my risk fine so put the ti inside no one knows what's under your shirt why aren't you still wearing a tiit what just in case they decide to undress you the point being is that a person needs to know that knows the real reasons of why we do what we do and you know and and really what's behind it many times when a person is connected to Hashem the more connected to Hashem they are the more they are open about their Judaism happy about their Judaism proud about their Judaism and confident about their Judaism and no one in the world can scare them no one in the world can scare them the further a person is from a to self but close to let's say The Superficial part of Judaism such as the Customs they like but not necessarily y uh you know they like kanuk but they don't necessarily like you know they don't necessarily like p uh they like but not so the more people are uh uh you know close to the Customs uh you know and the the Traditions but not the laws the more difficult it is going to be for them to uh to feel the Torah to feel the Torah but as a person learns more and more tah the the they they're going to realize that God is the one that rules the world and no one else and there's nothing for you to be afraid of not an army not a battalion not a terrorist group not a governor not a president not a boss not a customer not anything only thing you need to be afraid of is a once you know that life becomes much much more pleasant but Al also says not to put yourself in unnecessary danger like I just explained wearing a something on your head does not increase your danger even if you say that a keeper increases your danger you could still wear a hat even if you say wearing a tiit increases your danger you can still put it under your uh under your shirt no one can see the tiit point being is is that a uh you know a person is uh fooling themselves if they're not wearing a TI in a uh in a in a something to cover their head uh because they think that increases their danger because there's other ways to do that without uh even uh uh that argument being valid uh can one also commemorate another person during the same time during the same evening will be five days later knowing that there won't be 10 men present there you can do MIT uh on the behalf of somebody you care about at any time even if it's just you by yourself you can give charity on their behalf you can pray on their behalf you can learn on their behalf uh but certainly it's better if uh there it's done where there is more than one person where there's at least a minan uh but uh sometimes having a Manan is not possible for different reasons but certainly you could do a Mitzvah even uh without you being there you could uh simply help do a mitvah on behalf of that person the fear of hem is determined by wearing a keeper and showing the whole world that I'm Jewish uh yes according to the the fear of hem is uh symbolized by your keepa it's not necessarily just because you have a keepa doesn't mean you fear hem but it's symbolized by it just like a If somebody walks around with a uh a cross on their uh on their neck or their tattooed a cross then it's they they're symbolizing that they're not Jewish they're symbolizing that they're representing Christianity uh you know they believe in Yos somebody walks around with a the garments or the Traditions cultures of Islam you know that they're that's what they are aipa is symbolic of of Judaism but not just Judaism in general rather the gar says the the keepa is supposed to cover your entire head because in essence you're saying that you know that Hashem is everywhere Shem is everywhere he's overseeing everything the more of your head that it covers the more your fulfilling the actual and because you're in essence saying that hem is omnipresent omnipresent Rabbi trace my lineage back to King David congratulations I just bought some while was thinking good feel um where do you sellenin you can buy on our website um be.org b z r a t h m.org that's our website over there

non-jew is very righteous and very generous and very wonderful it's simply forbidden for us uh to sell it to non-jews that's what the says the same Tora that we're learning today is the Torah that tells us that we're not allowed to sell or M to non-jews even if they're wonderful but again they could benefit from other parts they could help us with they could help us with other they could learn uh you know with us uh but again it's important for you to uh know that if you uh ordered or mza from a Jew uh and let's say they don't ask you or you fool them to make them think that you're Jewish and therefore they sell it to you you're actually making that uh Jew sin uh you're making that Jew sin they have an unintentional sin and that's certainly a problem for them and even a bigger problem for you because you know that you're not allowed to do it so uh but if you're Jewish certainly you can get a top of the line from our website uh we have uh like I said we have the rash we have the uh the um for Safari and for ashkanazi right hand left hand and we also have rabenu rabenu is a uh extremely important for people that are married Jews that are married and uh want to elevate their uh level of Holiness was very very particular about making sure that every married uh person uh in his community in the safarik community had uh it's a higher level of Kusa even though we don't do a blessing on it it's an absolute must uh for for a married Jew to have R uh and uh you should at least study some Torah with it every day even if you're only studying t for 5 10 minutes after you pray make sure that the are on your head it'll it'll help you uh tremendously it'll help you tremendously uh I have some uh some some T that are of mind that are very receptive and some of them are just completely like oblivious to the things that I say I don't know how uh they call themselves my tellim but uh you know it's it's it's amazing to me sometimes I uh I I see that you know certain T of mine are uh you know very very particular about things they do what they're supposed to do they learn they listen they they do everything and then some of them you know they're they're like uh uh they just like to say that they listen but in reality they don't listen and sometimes if they don't listen about sometimes they don't listen about what to learn sometimes they don't listen about you know different you know really really particular things that are a big deal that are a big deal and um it's very important for a person to have a rabbi that they trust that they D which means that if the Rabbi says it you simply do it whether you agree disagree is irrelevant if you trust this Rabbi you have to listen to them you don't have to make me a rabbi I'm not looking for any more students but you defitely need to make yourselves rabbis that you trust everything that they say and you're going to do what they say why because that's what the Tor tells us that's what the Tor tells us that's what to tells us that we we must do and when people start picking and choosing which advice which teaching which lesson of the rabbi they're going to listen to and which they're uh which they won't unfortunately instead of fulfilling uh the words of the Torah that's uh in uh said in the page 14 uh that the person that listens to uh you know the um uh the Torah is obviously righteous instead of that it's a person that's wicked where he's looking for the uh the ones that fit his agenda either the leniencies of bet Shai and the leniencies of bet or uh you know or the stringencies of and of meaning they only want to listen to extreme cases and and those two cases are unfortunately not the righteous people even if they wear a keepa so if you're going to have a Raba you have to listen to what they say uh if you're not going to listen to what they say then you have to find a different Rabbi you have to find a different Rabbi why because if without a rabbi we are we are we're uh we're non existent people we're not existent people and that's that's uh that's one of the things that people simply don't understand so uh you know Rya made it very very particular uh point to make sure that is wears uh you know and so on but also are very very big deal so any of you that don't have it you should get it whether you get it from me or not I don't really care it's it's up to you uh but the point is if you're married man uh get yourself I have Jewish DNA because of my grandfather do you need to have Jewish mother in order to uh in order to convert no in order to convert you don't have to have any Jewish in your uh in your lineage you not to convert you just need to learn Torah follow the Torah make the necessary life changes and go to a Jewish Orthodox Jewish bedine uh that will uh you know guide you until they convert you uh but in order to uh be Jewish either you have to do it through conversion or if somebody has a Jewish mother uh but we don't determine Judaism based on DNA uh we determine Judaism based on on the uh the mother if she's Jewish and it's uh provable that she's Jewish then the children are Jewish so can you tell us about the upcoming porm celebration we already did that earlier today I heard from a rabbi that online conversions are not valid you heard correctly online conversions are meaningless Jewish conversion is determined by Al ala says that a Jew has to go through a process in order to convert they have to dip into a mikve and they have to um accept the uh the Torah in front of three kosher uh which have to be uh uh you know Orthodox Jews not conservative not reformed not non-jewish they have to be considered Kosh if it's a male they have to have a Brit uh circumcision uh even if they had a circumcision at Birth at some Hospital the uh the uh they still has to be checked uh before the conversion date to make sure that there was a proper Brit or if not they have to fix it uh under the supervision of the bedin uh and uh if they have a proper circumcision then they would still have to do what's called aam which is a uh just uh pricking the uh the uh the male member with uh small uh needle uh in order to generate some uh some blood it's like the same thing that they use for like uh people that test their bloods for diabetes so it's that little tiny little uh needle uh and that's called but it's a process conversion is not something you could do on the internet conversion it's not something that you could just simply uh pay for it and therefore you become Jewish conversion means that you are accepting upon yourself the laws of the T and the laws of the T also include the laws of conversion is it true that converts are Jews who in their past life renounced theem and a Torah uh it's possible but not necessarily always the case there's no uh rule of thumb that it's always that uh sometimes it's Jews that abandon the their previous Carnation uh in one way or another whether it's going to idolatry or it's being intermarried uh or or something else uh and sometimes it's uh a very precious non-jewish person uh that was born non-jewish and always was non-jewish but was one of the people of the Nations that wanted the Torah at the time am received the Tor but but couldn't be part of it because the nation that they were part of did not want the Tora and therefore hasem promised those uh those that they will have a chance to convert later on in so many words it's not for not that somebody wants to convert if somebody wants to convert to Judaism authentic Judaism that means that their Nish is connected to Judaism uh you know from uh from some point it doesn't make them Jewish it doesn't mean that they were Jewish necessarily it could be but not necessarily but either way it means they have to convert there are many times that people that spent too much energy on who they were in their previous life or who they believe they are in this life don't waste your time follow the Torah live the Torah don't you know harp on the past or delve too much into the future you know because the present is what we have to live the present is what we have to be concerned about not the past or even the future because the past there's nothing you can do about and the future is not really uh something that you can control what you can control is the present if you have a good present the future uh is more likely to be pleasant also uh so the uh Messiah is supposed to be from the uh lineage of from the bloodline of King David so how is DNA doesn't matter uh for a couple of reasons uh number one you know we we have a tradition a tradition of uh people that have come from a certain uh certain family like for example the kohanim we know that the kohanim go all the way back toonin we also know that the vast majority of Jews in the world today are from the tribe of Yehuda which is the tribe of King David so uh many Jews today uh could very well be from uh from the uh family of King David but that doesn't necessarily mean that everybody's mashiah uh that's number one number two uh we don't have to figure out who the mssiah is because the Torah already promises us that elahi is going to come and he's going to tell us in the name of God who the mashiah is so we don't have to exert any type of energy figuring out when the msia is going to arrive or who the mashiah is going to be we don't have to do any blood checks we don't have to do any DNA checks or anything like that so that's that's another reason uh now the the third aspect of it is that while people put a lot of weight into DNA as far as they believe it's something that's so substantial that uh you need to change the law based on it uh what they don't realize is that uh as sophisticated as DNA is the the criminals are more sophisticated they're more sophisticated and there's actually ways to alter the DNA alter the tests uh make mistakes and uh and this is something that apparently people are either ignoring or they're oblivious of uh but either way uh you know the Torah did not tell us to determine who's Jewish and who's not based on DNA tests that only became possible in recent generation the Torah told us to determine who jewi and who's not based on the law the law says if the mother is Jewish then the son or the daughter is Jewish if uh the uh the person converts to Judaism then they uh and they accept the burden of Torah upon them they follow it then they're Jewish that's it we don't need the DNA test we don't need modern-day technology in order to change our tah we can use modern day technology uh to help our lives as long as it doesn't contradict the Torah or expect us to change the Torah but to just simply decide a new law based on something that just came up in the last uh you know couple of decades that's questionable uh whether it's legitimate or not in many aspects and certainly can be manipulated I'm not really uh sure if you guys are as educated about uh DNA as you think you are but either way Judaism does not determine itself based on DNA Judaism is determined based on the laws of a this is the same exact thing that I tell all of the uh uh uh foolish leaders uh and absolute morons in some cases that go from the uh uh Hebrew Israelites uh that uh that harp on the fact that they are Jewish uh even though they don't follow the tah even though they don't know anything about Tah even though they follow idolatry of the New Testament even though they literally don't have any concept whatsoever of what determines your Judaism or not they determin themselves to be the real Jews based on their skin color because they're of Darker complexion this literally anyone that learns tah like literally if you have a scale where like on on one side there's like intellect and on the other side there's stupidity what would happen is if you put the determining factor of how the Hebrew Israelites uh you know which were originally called I think Black Hebrew Israelites because most of them are black people but not necessarily all of them anymore apparently they're recruiting some Mexicans and some other people of Darker complexion pretty much as long as you're not Jewish really and as long as you're not white you could be part of the uh part of this new movement anyway what happened here is that if you look at their deciding factor of what makes you Jewish being the skin color uh as as on you know you put it on the scale one side is stupid one side is smart intellect right when you put it on that side what would happen is that the stupid side would be so heavy that it would break the scale go through the ground all the way to the bottom of the Equator and then everybody's going to sue you because you ruin the world like literally if you actually put this this this this this vomit that comes out of their mouth and you put it on a scale you make it tangible you put it on a scale the mass of stupidity would be at such a high level it would literally put a hole in the world that's how dumb it is why because the Torah is as clear as day with what the rules are it's not subjective it's not you know determined by different people at different we have clear laws and when a person comes to the Jewish people and starts telling them that they're not real Jews and that's because you're not black it's because uh this all these stupid things it's like I can't believe that uh people are falling for this it's it's just it's sad state for Humanity uh now of course there are some people uh that uh you know want to believe that they're Jews for for different reasons but again there's no reason to uh you know live a fantasy you want to be Jewish you're welcome to become Jewish follow the Torah follow what makes people Jewish which is following the Torah simple now you say yeah but many Jews don't follow the Torah you're right many Jews don't follow the Torah but since their mother was Jewish and they you know this is not something that just happened their mother and their mother's mother and their mother's mother all the way to the original they were Jewish whether they follow it LA or not it's it's they're still Jewish now you don't treat them as a regular Jew you treat them as someone of obviously it's a sinner but nonetheless they're still Jewish they're still within that Torah law but you that came in as a non-jew from non-jewish parents to just decide that you're Jewish because you have a certain skin color I I mean I don't know where they found this if not a comic book but it's certainly not in the Torah it's certainly not in the Torah uh and it's sad that that this uh this uh movement is uh cult is uh is unfortunately growing and and there just really harming people's lives it makes them very very hateful people now of course they're going to say I'm hateful and I'm this and I'm that but you know by all means anyone that looks at the track record of people that I've helped and Compares it to all of the black Hebrew Israelite organizations combined combined combined all of them throughout all of history all of them throughout all of history combin them to what I do by myself without even including rim without including R without including anybody else just me by myself against all of the Black Hebrew Israelites throughout all of their history and you compare it to what I do in one month one one week and there's no comparison why because they don't help anybody they don't help anybody they help themselves they enrich themselves they make people hateful and Unfortunately they don't help anybody and this came from their own people their own people that have contacted us their own people that have written publicly about them their own people that have come out out of this cult have admitted that it's literally a whole big fraud but everything that's against the toy is a fraud it's just that unfortunately people are blinded blinded by all types of false beliefs sometimes those false beliefs come from within and you have to remove it if it's against the Torah it's against the truth it's against God stay away from it next question let's see book see one the book I don't know what the question is okay for as a Noah hi and my requir to tith and then the other question is oh somebody else but whatever I ask it it's uh can you expand on the words from before all the the worlds from this before this world okay so as far as a no hide are you obligated to tide to give 10% of your income obligated no is it a good recommendation sure if you're going to give it for the sake of publicizing toah and helping Jews do chuva it's certainly going to help you in your life and your eternity if you help one Jew do Chua needless to say if you help many Jews do chuva you're going to have endless amount of blessings both in this world and the next much more than you will get from anything else that you do on your own uh but as far as is it obligation no just like it you're not obligated to work a full-time job uh you're not obligated to be ambitious you're not obligated to uh to succeed uh you're not obligated to uh to eat a healthy diet you're not also obligated to you know to eat very much but we do usually uh many of those things that I just mentioned why because there's a benefit to doing all of those things there's a benefit to doing all of those things and a person that looks at the benefit of what they do is is going to live accordingly when a person looks at the benefit of Simply this world they're going to live for this world when a person looks at the benefits of Eternity they're going to live their life according to what is going to benefit their eternity as far as the worlds before this world page 12a says that uh created the uh the world from nothing meaning that before there was a world there was just him there was just him and he had to in essence minimize himself uh if you will it's obviously figuratively speaking but minimize himself in order to make room for his creation uh and uh once he minimized himself he created everything from a single you know a single point and you know it allowed it to expand this is obviously referring to the universe that's expanding until he roared and for it to stop uh and uh this uh Roar is uh scared the heavens and from Fear they stopped expanding and uh this is why the uh fear of God is called fear of Heaven you know fear of God feels fear of heaven so it's symbolic of that original fear now uh of course uh this was not the end of creation creation continued uh the zad talks about how what what was a doing it's even in the what was a doing before this world now he created the uh tah before he created the creation 974 Generations before he created this world he created the the the everything he created the Torah with black fire on White Fire but before he created this world if you will there were other worlds so Hashem creates and builds and destroyed world and in essence there were six worlds before this world this is the seventh and the final world we don't have much inform information about what was in their uh what was in those other worlds uh but nonetheless there were apparently other worlds uh whether it was a uh same thing like we have right now or or or or something different obviously uh that I uh I don't remember that uh existing or learning that anywhere but uh from uh from you know from my uh understanding and what I've learned from my RAV and uh and even other r that I've talked about this particular topic is that uh and ultimately the the the primary of all creation is this world is this uh is this life not something that happened before or something that will happen after now as far as uh uh the reason why there's not much uh discussion about these other worlds or other planets uh or let's say topics such as UFOs or even other creatures that are within this planet you know there are many other creatures and entire civilizations that live in this world some of which are mentioned in the gar some of which are discussed and and we're actually uh uh communicating and living among schl uh he brought them into his kingdom uh there's a whole uh nation of of of of small people uh and there is a uh there is uh you know all types of sea creatures there's a uh uh all types of different uh creatures that are in this world ones that have multiple heads ones that are very very small many times I mean if you if you uh um look at some of the descriptions of how these uh these beings look like they look like what people think is aliens you know but uh they actually live in this world and uh different gar and mid talks about uh how uh they you know different times that they encountered uh regular people uh there were also Giants at the time of uh of um uh at the time of Noah at the time of mosenu at the time of DAV uh point being is is that there is certainly different creatures that live in this world and the reason why we don't have a lot of details about their likes their dislikes uh their uh their life is all about and all that stuff is because it does not affect our life meaning that the only things that are mentioned in the Torah uh in in you know with extensive amount of information are things that are going to affect our life are things that are relevant to our life which means that if it's not something that is relevant to our life it's either not going to be mentioned in the Torah uh at all or you know a very very limited amount uh now when I say it's not mentioned in the tah at all I don't mean like it doesn't exist in the tah because everything exists in the but rather it's not something that you're going to find an entire book about it uh and uh you know and it's just you're G to have little titbits here and there somebody mentioning it somebody talking about but not something that's as extensive as let's say the the laws of Shabbat or the laws of M or the laws of a k or or even the basic uh commentary on uh you know on the uh one of the verses in the Torah you're not going to have much about it uh why because it doesn't have much to do with your life and the Torah is a is a instruction set for life and if you remember earlier today I said that the Torah that we received is the essence of the Torah the T itself the tah itself is much much greater than the essence of a Tora the essence of a what we have which is literally millions of books endless amount of tah the real Tor is exponentially bigger but it's impossible for us to comprehend it and the reason why once a person goes to heaven goes TOA what are we going to do there we're going to be learning the T itself which is much much greater than the endless amount of to that the essence of a t that we already have so uh and the endless Torah uh has everything and anything that you can possibly imagine multiplied by infinity and you're still not even at 1% of what the Torah actually has uh and this is actually what was shown to mosu but what he gave us is the essence of the Torah the essence of a Torah because that's what human beings can uh can handle and can study and can use uh as their instruction shed for instruction set for life okay we'll take a couple more questions before we're done uh let's see okay I see the guys in uh Facebook woke up all right bunch of questions see by is deja vu a significant feeling in uh in Judaism I don't really know what you mean by significant feeling does somebody feel Deja Vu sometimes sure it's possible uh either to do through uh reincarnation where they remember a certain thing that they experienced in their previous life uh or because there's certain message that's being given to them or perhaps they even took drugs and they think they saw something that they didn't uh there's different reasons for it but uh as far as it calling it a significant feeling I wouldn't call it a significant feeling but it's certainly something that can happen uh must women we must oh must women hear this Shabbat yes women have to hear can women go pray at the of theim uh she can if there is a direct uh uh road to the K of the sadik and not to go through the cemetery at all it is a terrible idea for a woman to go to the cemetery uh some even say even the grave sites of sikim are problematic and one of the reasons why is because the uh Graves Graves have t uh and uh a woman doesn't understand what that really means until she suffers from it which is that the Tuma of the graves could enter her body through her reproductive organ and she could lose the ability to reproduce or actually have a miscarriage uh so going to a uh uh to a grave site is a horrible horrible idea for a woman horrible idea and as far as going to the gravite of sadim only if there is a direct uh you know Road directly meaning literally like the steps directly to the grave site even in that case if you're still trying to have kids I wouldn't recommend it what were the prayers and actions King David engaged in after midnight uh the delved into every aspect of the Torah but the biggest part of the Torah that you deal with that you learn after midnight is the oral Torah if we say on bread that may not be a Lally considered bread is it speaking aem's name in vain yes it's not allowed can't just decide to see on something that's not can you recommend a book I can give my secular cousin's future wife uh so she could understand the importance of the MIT of uh well first I would recommend for her to read the book by again this will get her to understand the importance of being a Jew that follows the T in there he also discusses mik alongside many many other subjects it's a very easy smooth beautiful read it comes from his lectures I would recommend all of the books of Rim again as a pretty much a permanent fixture in your houses uh as well as in your n uh it's unfortunate that very uh it's very difficult to get those books in uh in the US uh we sell them on our website but uh there's a uh uh it's sad that you know you can't almost can't get them anywhere else um because it's from my perspective it's the best books uh on the market in the English language uh and certainly uh some some of the best in the you know last uh generation or so written out there he was like one of the uh last Bal mus that actually brought new things to to to the world um I don't know how I explain that like there is usually when you teach uh you're you're feeding off of the previous generation uh and you're simply giving people what was already said uh there are very few that are fortunate enough to have the to bring original ideas that also are are are on top of the uh the tradition but there's still original examples analogies uh he was literally one of the last ones that uh was one of uh that created Created things that were unbelievable anyway I would recommend for us to read that uh now as far as learning the laws of mikve as well as the importance of mikve there's a book by that was translated to English by Shalom uh there is a also book written based on the laws ofik on uh so there's several different uh types um but honestly a woman that doesn't doesn't understand theah it's usually because she doesn't understand anything from the T at all so it's important for her to understand and the book by is a fantastic read it's it's also very fluid very easy to read even though it's a huge book 800 Pages uh it's very easy you'll probably finish it in a few days um it's new for a woman to wear a porm costume is a woman allow to wear a costume if it's modest she's allowed but if it's not modest then she's not allowed uh so if a woman let's say for example wants to uh uh dress up I don't know that's just for argument sake let's see she wants to dress up like she's uh you know uh I don't know she's a tomato or she's some type of vegetable or she's some type of fruit there's no problem with that custom she wants to dress up like she is a uh you know I don't know uh um spaceship or something I don't know fine no problem but if she wants to dress up like she's some erotic figure in some comic book uh then of course she's not allowed uh to leave the house which is a thing uh so it's uh depends depends what the custom is AB do you believe that some people were born to become gay or Les lesbian uh certain people are born with the inclination more than others but to stay that way no one's allowed to stay that way no they claim they don't feel comfortable in their own skin because they were born to be that's nonsense it's like somebody saying they were born to be a thief because they feel the need to take everything that belongs to somebody else uh we are not uh robots we could overcome desires even if some somebody has a strong desire to do something if the Torah says it's forbidden then obviously the Torah knows that you have a strong desire and uh the law was still given even though God knew that there's going to be certain people throughout all of the generations that will have a strong desire to act like Sodom and gomorah like the generation of Noah God still gave the law with that knowledge that he's going to create people that will have an inclination that's the opposite of his will why would he do that because there is a obligation for us to overcome our our desires and follow what says and not just uh treat ourselves like victims that are incapable of uh of controlling ourselves Rabbi someone told me that you used to be gay and became a b ch is this true uh no it's not true I I'm not sure if you're joking and you're just one of these clowns uh or you're actually asking a serious question but regardless no I'm absolutely never was and never will be a homosexual I find it despicable disgusting and uh you know very very unfortunate mental case um what about wearing a Aid if you want to wear mid by all means it doesn't make you any more or less Jewish but uh you want to wear mid by all means enjoy what does mean when it says that anyone who is beloved by people is beloved by hem uh we have a entire sh about that particular m in the series go watch it in general if a person is following the laws of a Torah that are relevant to how to treat people then that's going to create unity and peace between him and or her and other people other Jewish people which when they have that Unity they have that uh kingship between them that's pleasing to Hashem uh but that's again you know there is a uh there's permissible unity and there forbidden Unity you can't just be United with everybody because if that person is an enemy of God you're not allowed to be United with them if that person uh is uh against the tah you can't be United United with such a person uh there's different types of unity it's just like a person says well aren't you supposed to love everybody I don't think you're a spouse would agree if you said to your wife listen that can't I just love everybody she'll tell you you can if you're single not if you're married to me why you have to you know you can't love every woman just like uh if your wife said oh why I want to love everyone your husband says well you know then you can't stay married to me what if you want to love everyone you're going to be an adulteress I don't want to marry an adulteress so point is is that in liberal world everybody wants to be together and everybody wants to love everyone but it's a fake uh it's a fake uh imagination no one really wants it it's just people uh like to be destructive of whatever the uh whatever good is and whatever the norm is uh and unfortunately this is uh coming from miseducation ignorance and arrogance uh so the what the mishna is saying to us is that if we have Unity based on the definition of the Torah between people then Hashem will be pleased with us and therefore that's uh that's good for people and that's good for your relationship with hasem okay I think I oh here we go what what is the most important trait your most successful students have uh most important trait is submissiveness meaning they're submissive to the T and they're submissive to d uh meaning whatever they uh if they ask you know uh if they're going to do something if they have a question about something uh they uh already know that even if they think they know they have to ask and even if something doesn't make sense to them but it says in the Tora they have to follow they're submissives to the Torah uh but also they are uh submissive to the fact that the Torah is bigger than them many times people fail uh in their observance of and everything even if they are religious they fail miserably because they feel like they know enough or they know a lot and uh I can tell you that uh from experience that the more people think they know the less they actually do know and the the more people think they know the usually the further they are from where they think they are uh the you know now some people say no no I know that the rabbi knows a lot more than me but there's always like a but meaning that they know how to say something but in reality they feel something else so when a person thinks that they already know everything that uh there's to talk about one particular subject or they're experts in a specific subject or they know more than the the rabbi or needless to say they disagree with needless to say times a million they disagree with those types of people are not only a danger to themselves but they're a danger to society uh why because they're not submissives to the tah uh you know some of the biggest Heretics in history were people that you would call Torah Scholars they were very very learned in Torah but because they were not submissive to the Torah they manipulated the Torah according to their likings and unfortunately because they had so much knowledge they were able to succeed in getting followers people like sh he was an extraordinary he knew an enormous amount of T the says he knew an enormous amount of T he was one of the knew 127 on every subject in the Torah was one of the San these were people that were enormous Torah Scholars but because they were not submissive to the Torah uh which comes from humility which comes from which which comes from having the solid foundation uh the uh person doesn't have it they could become a manipulator a liar a cheater uh and a heretic uh but uh live a life without thinking for a second that they're even uh they've ever even done Something Wicked you know they're convinced in their own eyes they're righteous in their own Hearts as the PUK says so as far as the most successful people that uh I've seen or really anyone has seen is people that have been submissive uh to the Torah now uh it's hard to find uh people like that uh because um unfortunately it's a uh uh it's something that uh you have to work on you know you have to and part of the way of working on it is actually by learning tah where if you don't know what the Torah is it's very hard to be submissive to the tah there are some you know B people that don't know necessarily much T but were submissive to the tah and became uh uh you know religious Jews and ended up having uh children as that became uh big rabbis uh this was the many of the they used to come to his uh to his sh when uh when he was given a shim every day and uh you know each week he would test some of them regular people Bal he would uh they themselves many of them did not necessarily become Torah Scholars they all became religious obviously but they didn't become necessarily Torah Scholars but every one of them had religious families and and and kids that became Torah Scholars and many of them became the biggest rabbis in the world today why because the parents uh were submissive to theah uh so when a person uh is you know hear something from their Rabbi and their uh their inclination is uh not even necessarily to reject it but that they have an option aside from what the rabbi said already it shows that they're not submissive meaning if you're asking a question and already in your mind the answer that the rabbi is going to give you know it's not necessarily set into stone like you're going ask someone else you're not necessarily committed to agreeing upon it or something like that already that means you're not submissive and if you're not submissive it's going to be very very hard for you to ever develop true true true anything it's always going to have that uh that problem now again it's a uh person uh you know could be a decent human being uh but in order to get to a higher level it's uh it's very important to uh to submit to the Torah the more a person submits to the Torah uh the more they can become a vessel now I could tell you you know from from that I know uh when uh you know sometimes I'm like a uh um you know like a like a fly on the wall among whether it's uh when I'm just sitting there and they're discussing different laws of Tora different uh judgments or there's Email exchange and I'm just simply being copied in it and I see the communication among them um the humblest person humblest person that's that's a that's a uh uh you know um that you could find among the regular people is much more arrogant about their Torah knowledge than any of these Torah Scholars are if you understand what I mean like these at Torah Giants they literally have significant segments of the tah in their mind in front of them as if it's as if they're they're they're flipping through the pages enormous bodies of work they're able to do multiple things at the same time I don't really like a lot of the stuff that I know and I've seen through through being close to to Serious Torah Scholars it's I don't even tell you guys because some of it is impossible to explain uh it's like you can't believe it until you see it uh and uh and I'm not talking about supernatural abilities I'm talking about just simply uh the the abilities period the knowledge period the behavior the the the the the the mannerisms the way they are who they are what they say what they believe uh it's it's a world of difference from the the the world that uh that we see and and unfortunately many times when people are not familiar with true Torah Scholars ship and what the Torah is and they get their learning just on their own maybe with an occasional Shure here and there uh but they're not devoted to the Torah to to to such an extent um many times you'll find that their comfort in their knowledge and uh their confidence in their abilities is actually Superior uh to the comfort and the and and and the uh uh and and the confidence that extraordinary Torah Scholars have and it's not because the Torah Scholars are self-conscious but rather because the Torah Scholars are uh much more knowledgeable about what's at stake uh how much information is there uh the details that many of them the vast majority of of society doesn't even know exists needless to say understand them or or knows what to do with them so there's the Torah is endless when we say the Torah is endless it's it's literally means it's endless uh but uh until you delve into it it's impossible to understand just how endless it is uh but the way that a person can access this uh and at least get on that path is by dedicating themselves to learning to each day following what T says but also having a a rabbi and having a t that they're submissive to that they're submissive to and it can't be you know like a multiple choice you know I'm going to ask three rabbis and whoever gives me the the answer that I like I'll submit to him no that's not being submissive that's actually the opposite so it's important to to to do that can one carry a Milla on Shabbat this week uh no bring it after shab bring it after Shabbat bring it before Shabbat um the women taking care of babies obligated to fast if the woman is uh breastfeeding or she gave birth within the last uh within the last two years she doesn't have to fast tomorrow it's so much to learn it will take us many lives exactly yes right and even many lives will not be enough that's why we have you know to learn as much as we can in this life in order to earn our place in a Eternal good which is a place where we could learn tah for eternity it never ends that's also why in the beginning of the day we say the blessings morning blessings part of the morning blessings is also the blessings of the tah but before we go to sleep there's no blessing on a tah there's no blessing on a t you do the you do but there's no blessing of you know finishing studying T why because Torah study never finishes it never finishes it's something that we're obligated to do and we utilize these next few days to study more to connect to hem and to make sure that we do as much as we can to help those that are less fortunate than us less fortunate to us in money less fortunate than us in Torah knowledge less fortunate to us and and actually help be a helper be a giver be somebody that is uh you know is is a contributor to the community and BM whatever you contribute you can be sure that you will benefit out of it much more than anybody else will including the recipient thank you very much for learning with me again anyone that wants to donate and fulfill the MIT of uh go to BHP pm.org or if you want to uh sponsor any of the lectures for next week uh you can go to the beatm website be.org or if you want to uh order also there's still some boxes left of the new book uh it's in English and Hebrew you can go to bhcu.org uh get yourself a box of 20 books for free uh to give for free uh in your community uh and uh not to sell like unfortunately some people are selling some of the merchandise we gave them for free uh this is not allowed uh we gave it to you to distribute to people not to sell it but unfortunately some people are so money hungry that uh they can't help themselves so we gave them something for free and they're selling it as if you know they're allowed to sell it but what can you do runs the world uh thank you very much for learning with me bless each and every single one of you and all of am is to have a successful tourah lessons Torah lectures uh and uh elevation in the Torah have shabbat shalom and make sure to always remember to be holy [Music] ask them what can we do to protect ourselves from he says even if somebody does a nice thing or learns a lot or anything like that it's never compared to bringing one of aem's lost kids that's been lost for the last 3,000 years back home one of the beautiful things that we have in our organization is that we have both Torah and because we have our we have our and we also have our that we do around the world our lectures reach every corner of the world in multiple languages but of course we always want to do even more is Elon while we have C of work that we've done throughout the whole year we also have the Torah that we're constantly producing more and more of and last but not least the uh to feed the poor people in Israel a very special thank you to all our amazing guests who show real by taking the time out of their business schedule and sharing their ups and downs with us all for the sake of our one of the big things that we have aside from this campaign you probably see this poster or something similar to it is also we published some of the recent results that we have or at least up to now of the organization and one of the reasons why we do this each year is because we want to make sure that our partners our donors our know where their money is going unlike everybody else that you know uh says a lot does a lot we want to show you what these results are I could tell you from my experience and a little bit of knowledge about the whole Torah world I don't know of anybody else uh any other organization on planet Earth that produces dollar for dollar what we've produced over these last few years this is nothing to be arrogant about it's simply who helped us we made every sacrifice that we can possibly make in order to H to make it happen producing nearly 300 films publishing 32 books our own books giving out 154,000 books for free giving out 154,000 books is not a cheap Endeavor anyone that wants to do such a thing has to be completely committed to to his children and most importantly to have we also have fed over 160,000 people over these last several years each year during PES the high holidays throughout the year we help a lot of people eat make sure that they have groceries food all types of things and you guys have seen many of the videos that are uh that we've produced over the years to actually show you the people that are getting this food you have here 160,000 people have eaten nearly 300 Torah films and then on top of all of it we have 1.4 million USB CDs and cards that have been giving out for free all of the work that we've done over the last 10 years on these USBS given out for free last but not least 12,000 video and audio lectures available online in about 14 different languages for the world to watch for free [Music] for for [Music] he may on [Music] for [Music] for for after somebody dies their naturally feels like it needs to be clean and like it needs to go to Gom to go clean itself so it could feel better after and one of the reasons why we do this why we show these numbers is because we want to show everyone what we've done to give you an indication an indication of what we can do in the future so this is the time where we need as much of help as possible to push yourself more than you typically do if you typically donate a couple hundred donate a th000 if you uh if you could afford uh the uh uh 8,000 15,000 50, whatever you could afford this is the time to do it because this is going to be the help that we have to help all of these to feed these people and perhaps one day to get that building that we've been wanting to to build here in the United States to build a community but the all of these things require millions of dollars if not now then when
