[Music] last week or a few days ago whenever it was last week I told you guys that there is perhaps the most popular um speaker in Jewish world today at least the person that wears a keepa is the guy uh Ben Shapiro he calls himself a conservative he's politically oriented talks about uh many political topics and uh quite frankly a lot of his political opinions are valid and per on point seems even like a nice guy smart seems like he was smart since he was a young kid skipped a grade played instruments and so on and so forth now if he stated politics I'd never mention them in the lecture why it's not my interest nor should it be yours unfortunately once he mentions Tor then you have to look into things I already mentioned them some time ago maybe about a year ago or so two years ago when I heard one of his opinions about the Torah being completely uh nonsensical I mentioned it but his popularity continues to grow he has somewhere in an neighbor of 3 million uh followers on on a uh online and uh his popularity Grows by the day he also recently moved to our backyard to ephra and Goldberg community and um he uh he's getting more popular especially with the election being around the corner and the questions continue to come to me uh as far as his you know validating him so I had to look more into it and I see that when it comes to politics he might as well be the best I care less comes to Torah his opinions are wrong and dangerous now some people think that I'm just picking on him because I'm jealous or cuz he has 3 million followers and I have three followers uh because he is uh maybe a few years younger than me perhaps better looking uh perhaps because efim Goldberg is his Rabbi I don't know people have all types of things that they say so the truth is with all all kidding aside I try to tell you guys that you know these things only when it gets to a point that I can't stop myself from doing it meaning it's dangerous not to tell you if I'm mentioning somebody in a lecture it's not because I'm bored trust me I hate doing it more than anything else if you see the amount of comments and letters and and emails and just simply annoying people that bother me all day because of every one of these lectures that I talk about people trust me what I tell you you tell me stop doing it it's not worth it but I have to why because when something is dangerous and there's a fire and no one else is saying it me staying quiet makes me a murderer just like them so there's countless people who did not know that his opinions are dangerous his mindset is dangerous and quite frankly the whole modern Orthodoxy mentality is dangerous that I've been telling you for a few years and this is not just dangerous because they are more lenient when they shouldn't be this is not just more dangerous when they say that certain things that are forbidden are allowed for them and certain things that are allowed for them are forbidden which is really what we all did CH up for is not just that is that modern Orthodoxy has become the stepping stone for Christianity's recruitment of Jews in my opinion from experience in what I see and I have a proof for you guys that I think is a if you don't see it perhaps you just check your vision if you do see it then I think you should agree that this is much more dangerous than what I even thought last week a few years ago we went on a public battle against Ephraim Goldberg and his congregation really mainly him and his fellow rabbis that were bringing a uh Christian or Catholic speaker to give to the which at the time I was living in in our community we had a very public noisy crazy battle which in the end the Catholic mission cancelled and eim Goldberg wrote in his blog that he cried that he canceled because he didn't think that the Catholic missionary was a danger to society or to his community needless to say a week after that lecture was supposed to be there was a massive mailer from a missionary organization that also came to my house and every neighbor's house cuz I saw with videos about Yos meaning this was a plan attack the guy from the Catholic missionary was coming a week later there was a mailer and everybody's uh mailbox or in their doors with a uh missionizing documents from Christianity of why they love Israel but in reality Jews supposed to be worshiping Jesus and all types of other Idol worshiping nonsense so befriending Christianity to the extent of welcoming them to our synagogues our communities and so on has become the norm in modern Orthodoxy and some parts of kabad we know this because we're seeing it there was a modern Orthodox friend of Ephraim Goldberg just a few months ago in New York that invited a Christian uh speaker to his Sho there was a kabad in Atlanta that invited Christians to their Sho just a few months ago we reported all of this and there's many more that we don't know about or perhaps that we do know about we just don't report every single thing the point being is is that the Christians feel at home with these two parts of of of our brothers and in essence putting ours in danger now where they're so comfortable with the Christians that they don't even think it's dangerous because they think that everybody just just be comfortable in their own beliefs and if he wants to believe in yosid no big deal if he wants to be believe in a beaver no big deal if he wants to believe in a horse he big deal no that's not Judaism the second you declare yourself a Jew that means every Jew matters to you even the one that you're actually supposed to hate he still has to matter to you you hate him but he matters to you that's why you hate him like a Nazi you hate him but you're not because he matters to you because you just simply hope and pray that he just disappears from the world but someone that's goes to and G pride parades after knowing that hasm forbids it and cause homosexuality an Abomination you're obligated to hate that person but needless to say if given the opportunity help him do CH so you hate him but if given the opportunity help him do CH knows that he can't drive on Shabbat but he doesn't anyway you have to hate him according to theor according to that's but if given the opportunity you have to help him do chat now if he doesn't know that he's supposed to drive on Shabbat that he's not all to drive on Shabbat don't even hate him at all just get him to do CH anyway though but if he knows he's not allowed and he still does it then you have to hate him that's that's really the law now we all know that Christianity is not a friend of Judaism for whatever reason or another this sh this part of the Torah is like missing in the Torah of the modern and and some kabik today because they're befriending them like they were BFF even though the founder of of kabad was very much anti even though the founders of of of modern Orthodoxy was very much anty all of this something happened along the lines and today's leaders or rabbis or whatever you want to call them are welcoming the Christians into our own houses our living rooms with no barriers whatsoever and it's got to the point where it's too dangerous now Ben shipiro may God help him do chuva but Ben shapir is a very smart person that's extremely stupid at the same time why because while he's given a gift from God of speech a gift from God from thinking a gift from God from analyzing he forgot to analyze his own backyard in his meeting by video with his new community Rabbi efim Goldberg and Company he had a nice meeting on on uh on YouTube and everyone agreed that Ben Shapiro is by far the most famous religious Orthodox Jew in the world today now this may very well be true it probably is true it's got three million followers I don't know anybody else that does that's religious there are Jews that are more popular but not religious and he made fun of it saying this really that the pool is not so large so it's very easy to be whatever point is reality is when people think of Judaism Ben Shapiro pops up as a thought this is a representative of Juda whether you like it or not he knows it everybody knows it you can't say no I'm uh I'm not connected to the religion when you walk around with the keepon and you're that popular by default when you start talking Torah with the keepon you don't need anym further explanations to show how much your opinion has to be validated at all times so when he says things that are against the Torah like Gom is not forever or that the soul is's not sure if it's real of is real all types of things that are heretical these are problems where we were well do do you believe there's a soul or something like a soul of pattern information that represents who you are that floats off the body and goes continues on after so I don't know I mean honestly I don't know and and I don't think anybody has a great verifiable account of of of that I have suspicions but again there's suspicions less less about knowledge what I do know and the reason why I'm religious is that a religious lifestyle that that is based on certain fundamental premises I think makes life better for people I think that the the rule that are set down as currently understood at least are rules that that are likely to lead you to Leading a happier and better life than than your pure reason alone because pure reason alone Unleashed uh without even those Moorings in judeo Christianity can lead to a lot of really terrible places so I was curious by the way that you know the ancient Jews said the SCH and you don't go anywhere after your your death right yeah the the idea of the afterlife is is a pretty modern invention in Judaism it really it really only crops up historically speaking a little bit in the prophets usually the late prophets and it's and it's really maybe as a response to early Christianity or or Greek thought so yeah in the in the Bible itself there's no reference in the Torah there's no reference to the afterlife what do you think happens after the death of your body so I mean I only have suspicions because again unverifiable my suspicion is that if there if there is a God which I believe uh who exists outside of time and space and that what animates me is that I made in the image of God and that what animates my Capac city is that I made in the image of God that I reunify with God that basically there's a the traditional Jewish take on this has been that there's a cleansing process Judaism doesn't believe in eternal hell so it's instead this idea that there's a cleansing process for your for your soul the part that you got from God that spark of life that you got from God You' schut Schmutz it up while you're alive and now there's a cleansing process and then and that's what hell is sort of and then you are reunited with God and you have greater understanding uh the idea of me being a distinct personage outside of my body I think is is a difficult one that's that's my own personal so you don't think you're physically resurrected uh into heaven with God no I think I think that something like a soul or energy or Consciousness or something like yes yes a form like an aquinus form right yes I think that those are actually two different things in Judaism as well like the the idea of which is the idea of resurrection of the dead that's a different idea than what happens after you die right is the idea that eventually the Messiah comes that we'll all be resurrected back in our physical bodies at a certain point which honestly given the nature of how science is moving and and the possibilities of cloning is is actually less crazy than it than it sounded probably a couple of thousand years ago yeah I debunk most of the modern you know the singularities coming we're going to upload everybody into the cloud and this is not going to happen no definitely mean that's good that's good to know because I just feel like the computer would be really weird it's weird to live inside a computer or that we're living in the in a computer now but there's no buffering or you know little pixels that are going on you're not waiting for the Messiah to come he's not coming in the waiting for the Messiah to come in the form of a political figure right so the Pol so the Messiah in in Judaism is a guy who's going to come back and is going to establish peace in Israel and is going to assure that that you know there's a there's sort of a happier world with a bunch of political aspects to it as as explained by myones but he's going to die too right he's not going to come back and everybody lives forever and and any of that kind offf Corporal agent he's just like us right and in the Jewish view any person could be the Messiah any Jew can be the Messiah in the Jewish view right so I could be it who knows but it's good start but these are not as much of a problem as him missing the analysis of his own people now I looked up his very famous very well-known company called daily wire and daily wire has not just him as a speaker but other people he has a guy by name of Michael noes which to my knowledge is a Catholic person which doesn't necessarily make him a bad person just needless to say this is one of his Partners but then there's a guy that I recognized a person by name of Andrew claven now I knew this face I just didn't know from where but 5 seconds later I knew exactly where where I saw his face cuz he's extremely popular he's his partner he's on the website he's a big deal everybody knows who he is but I don't care about his political views I don't care about Ben Sha's political views for all I care they could be Lefty liberals or righty or do make a difference to me him I know wasn't about politics why because I remember that face somewhere else where did I see this face that has to do with you in his website you see his face front page he right there next to him with a couple of the other speakers in Ben Shapiro all smiling all happy all doing their thing where do you see this face you see this face in this very popular tragic video called I met mashiach done for the most dangerous missionizing organization on planet Earth that I've mentioned to you multiple times called one for Israel that's where I saw his face that's where I knew him telling his 10 or 11 minute story of how he left Judaism and became a Christian followers of Yos uh I'm Andrew claven I got the worst possible Mark in every class in Hebrew school and my father used to say they can't flunk you out of being Jewish but I came very close I came very close by the time I was Bar Mitzvah I was so completely estranged from this entire tradition I didn't want to do it at all it meant nothing to me I gave in I had had to I was forced to be Bar Mitzvah and say these things that I didn't believe I loved stories I wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember as I studied literature I realized that Jesus was at the center of all of Western literature I I should I should find out about this I should find out about it I went in my into my bedroom and I closed the door and I started to read The Gospel According to St Luke one of the funny things about the gospel is that people have this concept of gentle Jesus Meek and Mild if you can go into the gospel and find a place where gentle Jesus Meek and Mild exists I will pay you to see it because Jesus is a hard man he walks into these death these deadly situations even when they're threatening him with death he just says what he has to say and that to me especially in this world of lies that to me is so important such a great model for any man and you can't know God he's just too big for the Mind unless you know him through Christ who is a man like you you know my father was afraid by embracing Christ I would be leaving Judaism behind but weirdly I never really felt connected to my Judaism until I found Jesus when I when I Found Jesus that was the first time I started to think oh oh that that's what all that stuff in the Bible meant that's why you know there were those Traditions that's why there was there were those passages that never meant anything to me before I always had a connection with my cultural Judaism I always knew I was a Jew was happy and at peace with that but I never understood the religious aspects of it until Jesus came into my life it's absolutely true until I was baptized I don't think I was so that means this is not like the other guy that could potentially be a Catholic just believ in this thing shapir believes in this thing and Kua what co-workers there's no problem of being a coworker of someone from a different religion but if your coworker SL partner is a missionary now we have a problem why because now it shows either you completely lack all knowledge whatsoever of Judaism to the extent that you should never even mention you're Jewish needless to say give a shi about it on your radio show and on your uh YouTube page or you disregard the laws of the sages to such an extent that you're a missionary yourself without have even realizing it if your partner is helping the most dangerous institution on planet Earth one for Israel is their nameing run by this guy all born Jews all Heretics all have a number one target of destroying Judaism I think that we were able to find the the missing key the Lost Key and it's actually pretty simple it's Jewish and Arab Israelis explaining the gospel to other Jewish and Arab Israelis in the Hebrew and Arabic language it's not some something that comes from outside foreign different it's something that we do with our own people and we do it by bypassing The Gatekeepers we bypass the Orthodox rabbis we no longer need their permission or approval we go straight into their own children's phones now and computers they're not like regular missionaries their number one job that puts them on a on a pedol above anyone else aside from their location being in Israel which is not really a big deal as much anymore is that their number one target is to destroy the Torah so they have countless videos about rabbis our own RAB fry they have a whole video about him R mrai they have several videos about him Rabbi bagdadi several videos many rabbis that spoke against Christianity they have they have videos Hollywood quality videos against them destroying them in the Public's eye surely everything they say is nonsense heretical and stupidity but for the average folks it's not what's their support why do people go to them aside from their name being misleading one for Israel is because they have guys like claven Jews that also became Christians with their own personal story and their Hollywood quality video missionizing for them now if claven left Judaism at some point and decided to be Christian own private home sad but it's not as much of the Public's business to know but once you go public with your belief and join forces with missionaries now it's our business now that you actually we know that you're a partner with a guy that claims that technically is whether he likes it or not a representative of the Jewish people in the media your partner was with him now it's a very serious problem now I don't know how Ben Shapiro lives with himself with this knowledge maybe he knows maybe he doesn't know either way now you know your job is to share this information with as many people as possible because this is now a danger to our people because you can't say that this is not dangerous to us because if his beliefs his Christian beliefs were kept to himself then we say you do you you left sorry to hear if you ever want to come back we'll help you out but now that you're actually part of a missionary organization that means that you want even Ben to convert you want me to convert you want everybody here to convert to Christianity you are part of the destructive force of is at the highest level and how are you doing it by being advocated as a partner of a Jewish Leader by name Shapiro and his sh you're not keeping your beliefs to yourself you've publicized it on a video that has over half a million hits just in one place I don't know how many other places they have there's probably millions of hits how many people have become weakened in their yish kite in their in their Judaism due to his video and he's on your same company how how you see they make care less about everything I just say and many people make care less and say oh you're exaggerating fine you can say I'm exaggerating and everybody said that was exaggerating for me I'm nothing everybody said was exaggerating everybody said that a lot of rabbis were was exaggerating and was exaggerating and guess what happened I said no they're not exaggerating Holocaust why because if it's not for the Holocaust in physical form you already destroying yourselves with the spiritual Holocaust by allowing the enemy inside your house to marry your daughter and this is the Warped beliefs that are being taught today how could this be allowed love of ourselves too much when people love themselves too much they care less about the people so even though they're benefiting from the people from their love of the people he's doing good things for the Jewish people he's he's showing the Jewish opinion is valid the Jewish opinion is good the Jewish opinion is in line with the conservative people which is the technically the Christian thoughts shows it's good so you're benefiting from being a Jewish personality but you're hurting us at the same time by giving a stage to someone that is worse than anti-semitic we'd actually prefer for him to be anti-semitic because at least he would only be trying to kill buddies but once you join forces with a missionary organization and a successful one at it unfortunately it's dangerous to our existence when this becomes not a big deal in your mind that means that you're sick Ephraim surely doesn't care about this why he invited a missionary to isua maybe did CH since then I highly doubt it because he continues to invite those people just doesn't make as much of a big deal out of it this is one of the things that happens as a result of Mings you taught parts of the truth with a little bit of lie and 99% true with 1% lie equals 100% lie so this is a critical moment in our time for our people because as said when said in the that it's going to be a generation of all righteous a generation of all Wicked his K was is that everyone is going to know who's the righteous one and who's the wicked one out in the open in the end it's not going to be a figment of our imagination anymore it's not going to be speculation anymore or he looks righteous or he sounds righteous none of that in the end by time mashia comes everyone's going to know he righteous he rash yeah but they both have a keeper they both have a beard and they both say hashem's name yes but he says hem is King he say hem needs us you understand so he is a Needs Us in essence is a slave and he is aad he saym is the king so they both look like but he's righteous he is wicked in the endan says everyone's going to know we're going to know whether Shapiro and Ephraim and Manis and d and all of those people we're going to know whether they're righteous or not in the end don't bet the farm on what they are right now because what they're doing for sure is wicked what they'll end up doing we don't know yet what everyone can still do Chua everyone can still do Chua if they don't and so long as they don't we're obligated to hate them why because now they know it's wrong and they continue and as DAV says those that hate you I hate them the says those that hate you I hate them and the F explains what does it mean those that hate you who hates God a person that knows it's a sin and continues anyway surely it's because he hates God you know that homosexuality is forbidden you continue to do it anyway and on top of it you're celebrating with the Gay Pride parades you surely hate God you know that certain things are forbidden and you still do it surely you hate God so and while you hate God I have to hate you but you hate my father you know it's wrong to bring missionaries to a sh you know it's wrong to have Partners as missionaries you know it's wrong what he's doing and you continue to allow this to happen I have to hate you but guess what if you want to do Chua I'll be the first one to welcome you home I'll be the first one to help you cuz I want you to do Chua cuz imagine how great it would be if we could use all of those people that are currently and use all of what they have been gifted from sh to do good to help would be fantastic but until then we have to hate them we don't want to we have to they would change and I will be the first one to do even more sh telling you look this guy did cha that guy did cha go to his channel go to his go to his show go to this go to that Al I wish there's no there's no benefit in having enemies and when they're not really against you it's only a benefit if it's for self-preservation right now these people that we mention in our are simply destroying am one at a time some physically some spiritually some both it's important that we know who's right and who's wrong who's righteous who's Wicked it's very important why because that's part of the Jewish ideology you need to know who your friends are this gives us a little bit more clarity of how we could avoid the danger that's in front of us because we live in a generation that's just like what was said at the end of parit where was a generation that all day in their hearts they had thoughts of evil all day thoughts of evil we live in such a generation all day people think evil things all day they do bad things so we have to pick a few good fruits here and there and try to preserve them as much as possible if we can make some of the bad ones into good ones even better but needless to say we ourselves have to fix ourselves I think it's important for us to know that some sometimes it looks good from the outside but inside it's rotten these are the ones that we tried to bring to your attention because many people didn't know this stuff many people didn't know all the things that we said today and many of the other things we said in the past this will bring some more light to the people that are looking for the light and hopefully encourage many more to do chva get closer to including those people that we mentioned
