[Music] the says that every Jew is obligated to read the every week in order to read the weekly par twice without commentary and once just a commentary meaning it's a from the that you have to do it it's the minimum of minimum of learning T now furthermore explained to us it's impossible for you to become a or know anything of any value without learning further one of the the uh grandson of the he said when you understand the spiritual mystical parts of the world you know that when you learn Kash when you learn uh the the weekly Paras at the time it's supposed to be learned it's not just for the sake of wisdom it's not just for the sake of fulfilling the but because you're doing all of those things you're creating certain angels that will help you that week you're creating certain spiritual power for yourself at that time where if you don't do it you're in essence missing out on a lot more than you can possibly imagine now of course a person must at some point learn other books as well learn thear and so on but without learning the very Basics and going straight to the high level that means that you either don't have a rabbi and you've decided to become your own Rabbi or your Rabbi is not really a rabbi because the minimum of minimum is to learn that's how you begin that's what you do throughout your entire life even the mishna that talks about what should be the uh s of learning Tor it starts with the Kash before anything else why because that's the foundation of our T it's the foundation of everything now of course if you learn you will learn different parts that are from the written Tor but you have to learn that in its time and the in its time everything has its time everything has its time the uh um the is considered the highest level of wisdom but you're not going to be able to understand the highest level of wisdom without understanding the foundation of all wisdom so just jumping to the highest level is simply ridiculous I mean sometimes I hear things from new where oh yeah listen Rabbi I was just introduced to the Z I was just introduced to the cabala so I'm going to study with my Rabbi wait hold on a second wait you just introduced to the Z when did you do cha when did you convert when did you even get introd uced to God what 3 four 5 years ago you're already going to the highest level either you're the biggest Genius of the generation or you're the biggest idiot most likely the latter most likely the latter why because even people that I know that read the entire Shas every year enti not the whole thing twice three four times a year in one year if you could finish it one time in your life you're already a big shot I'm talking about I know people that finish it a few times a year they don't read the they don't read the cabala why they know it's above them and they're not ready for it but you you haven't finished the K with Rashi you're going there it's like you just got a janitor job at Nasa you decided you know what let me try this uh try my luck at building the rocket too you don't know how to sweep but you're going to build a rocket go ahead I'm not going to be on that rocket though I'm not going to be on that rocket I I don't I don't trust you I I TR to explain that to you cannot explain this to regular people that are doing it because their mind is so closed that unless it's coming from an authority figure that's their Rabbi they're not going to listen to anybody they're not going to listen to anybody why cuz they've decided to be their Rabbi and that's why thear uh says that someone who does not have a rabbi God hates him why because there's an you have to have a rabbi you have to have a rabbi that's going to remove you from the doubt that's going to teach you certain things of what to do what not to do tell you when you're wrong tell you when you're right but if you decide to be your own Rabbi for sure you're going to make mistakes and you're not going to be able to fix them because you don't know you're making mistakes cuz you're your own Rabbi who's going to tell you your so that's the problem people that don't have a rabbi you'll always always see that it's a matter of time before they go astray really really bad really really horrible some people that are rabbis that you see have changed drastically and have deteriorated dramatically with their teaching and with their understanding and even gotten to the point of becoming Heretics you'll see what happened ah it's because their Rabbi either died and they didn't replace him or they stopped listening to their Rabbi and they became their own Rabbi and you see that those people became complete complete Heretics horrible it's a sad thing but it's a reality it happens so one of the greatest things that a kadosh gave me is that he gave me a rabbi that I knew on day one he is much better than I could ever be if I study tah for a million years a million years I'm not going to be like raim never it's never going to be why because they'll study for another Million Years also and it'll be greater than I could ever be now I knew this from day one now despite my huge ego that's bigger than the world I understood next to him I'm zero zero zero zero and I will always be zero now you guys may think I'm a big guy and great all that stuff but I know myself I'm zero zero now in comparison to and says to me he is less than zero next to less than zero so if he is less than zero next to I'm already at negative I'm a negative okay now said himself says I will be like the one day from previous generation few 100 years before 200 years before him I'll be like him meaning says I'm not like I can get this where he is knew he's a nothing he's a zero next to the ramb the ram was not even qualified to be the student of RAB AKA because in order to be the student of RAB Akiva you had to be able to resurrect the dead look at someone and pretty much pick him up that said he's alive because you pray to hasem and that said alive on the spot alive on the spot anyone that's was a student resurrects the Dead anyone that's mentioned by name in the was able to resurrect the dead R wasn't able to resurrect the dead even though he did many many miracles and different things wasn't able to resurrect the dead on at will not happening he wasn't qualified the r wasn't qualified to be a OFA he was theal ofos the to that he had they said you could literally if you took he said himself if you took the entire ocean which is 72% of the globe 72% of the globe is water took all of that water and in essence it became ink and then you took all the trees and turned them into pens to use that ink and all of the land turned into paper you wouldn't be able to write the Torah that RAB hos knew in his head and Al says and all of that Torah that I know that's there's not enough space in the world to fit is not even a lick of a dog in a water in a water of the ocean next to my rabbis you know imagine the dog comes to lick the water in the ocean to drink does it make an effect an impact on the ocean nothing he says all that Torah that I know is not even that lick from that dog next to my rabbis who's Rabbi Zak doesn't reach it doesn't reach it nothing zero and guess what was not even a prophet you go to the prophets talk to face to face is talk to face to face Daniel says if the generation of Daniel Mia came will be Daniel spoke to him says David by the way you're the forth of the everything says became everything we say not exactly and guess what everyone everyone everyone just mentioned is a zero next to M so do you understand so when someone thinks of themselves in the right perspective they realize how much of a zero they are why because mosu hasim in the Tor where it says he was the humblest of all so if the greatest of all that's part of our 13 principles of Faith to remind ourselves every day that he was the greatest of all the one that says M my servant isim the man of God I spoke to Moshe face to face like a friend if he himself thought of himself as nothing he said on himself we are nothing said I'm nothing if he is nothing you go sh you go back to what I just said starting with me what where am I where am I where am I do you understand so that's the thing the more a person learns the more he realizes how much of a nothing he is in comparison to the rabbis that came before him if a person thinks he's a big deal that means that he's not connected to all of those great people that I just mentioned he's not connected at all he's starting something new a new religion a new ideology you're not connected why because all of the greatest people I've ever mentioned to you all of them were humble all of them thought of themselves as nothings I'm actually really a nothing but they actually were great something and they became they they thought of themselves as nothing the more of a nothing you think of yourself the more of a possibility that you're something but the more of something that you think you are for sure you're nothing and that's the thing when somebody skips and just says no no I'm not GNA study Kash I'm not gonna study I'm gonna go straight to the source and foolish people send me messages all yeah God talks to me God talks to me yeah I get I get messages from him I get messages from him you know I he talks to me you know he he tells me things like go to a mental institution please get yourself out of the misery put some drugs in your system you know you're living like this thinking God talks to you probably somebody talks to you but it's definitely not got shim they like to torture people so they make you think that you're talking to God sometimes why yeah all the tum that you created in the world all the fil that you created in the world you think that God's talking to you people are ludicrous with the things that they say you have to understand Torah is not given to anyone just for no reason you have to be willing to kill yourself for it that's what says at the end of you want to inherit T you have to be willing to die for it but not die for it no no I'm going to jump off a bridge no die for meaning your whole life look learn learn learn fight for it every opportunity give everything for it invest everything into it all your time all your money all your heart all your everything why it is everything but you think you just skip skip everything you're going to make a new thing can't help people like this simply cannot help people like this because they're so far removed from reality that it's like H you know what do you do with such a person nothing you can do with them only way that such a person comes back to reality is when Hashem rebukes them and they realize that they really are nothing and that eventually happens hopefully it's not too late [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] for for [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] n a [Music] [Applause] [Music]
