whether it's Morocco or it's Ukraine or it's Poland or it's Germany or it's anywhere in history you saw Jews lend money with interest it creates anti-Semitism the in his publication by ml elad uhad ition on page 539 he warned about this danger of Jewish people lending money with interest and he write as follows it's forbidden to lend with interest to those Nations whom we live in their Shadow and treat us favorably they are people of Faith Believers of the Blessed Creator and the Torah of Moshe Came From Heaven anyone he's referring to the Jewish people anyone who takes interest from the nations in our times more than the norm in the markets of that country is committing two evils one the very fact of taking interest payments itself is evil and furthermore he is in the category of AE who is among those who put the Jewish people in danger by giving us a bad image in the eyes of the Nations it is appropriate for us to follow the attri attributes of the Holy One Blessed Be he who desires kindness but as a result of our many sins continues Rand the wicked people act the opposite of this instruction as schl says in Proverbs 12:10 the mercy of the wicked is cruelty we can clearly see that those people who lend money with interest initially seemed to be an act of compassion and lending lending money to the poor in his time of distress however in the end we see that this is an evil and cruel dispensation this slender increases the interest and makes things tougher on the borrowers with biting interest eventually the Poor Man simply cannot bear it and the lender comes to take away All the Poor Man's property as part of his interest obligations these are the words of similarly brings narrates in his book called page 334 and 335 his own memories of his life when he lived in Ukraine in a place called columia and he details of how there were certain Jewish personalities who took High interest even more than the value of the principal amount meaning over 100% interest and they caused a lot of animosity towards the Jews by the non-jews 100% in cash advance is cheap because some of them are charging 6 700% and even some as high as 4,000% but here he's talking about how this interest of 100% caused anti-Semitism in Ukraine if that was enough this would be sufficient but there's more in Morocco seph Volume 15 page 95 an historian by name of elzar Bashan came to the conclusion in his book that there was a certain degree of justification to the hatred that the locals had towards the Jewish population in Morocco in Fez Morocco this was due to those Jews who were on the other one hand enjoying the hospitality of the foreign Nation meaning Morocco but yet on the other hand they were lending them money with high interest even Rob the rabbi of of Fez of Morocco at the time from 1873 to 1900 also agreed and joined in holding these Jews at fault meaning this is not just a lone historian that is agreeing with the Gentile perspective no the rabbi of Morocco agreed that these Wicked Jews are causing anti-Semitism so whether it's Morocco or it's Ukraine or it's po or it's Germany or it's anywhere in history you saw Jews lend money with interest it creates anti-Semitism and one of unfortunately one of the businesses that many people are going to today is this rotten business why because the yet pays cash the Satan pays cash and a lot of it people think that they're going to do good and therefore they'll be able to givea I can assure you not a single dollar that you donate from that business is considered staka it's all considered stolen every single person in that business even if you're a clerk even if you do the paperwork if you're a lawyer if you're an accountant for them if you're a secretary needless to say if you're a broker a principal compliance officer and an owner every single one of those people is bringing anti-Semitism to the world every single one of them is increasing the power of Amal and some of them are even part of Amal and worse of it all any Rabbi that takes money from those people knowing that this is where they get their money from without saying anything without stopping it without at least rebuking the guy and trying to get him to do chuba you are a partner to the crime Why by you taking money from these criminals you're in essence enabling them to continue doing evil if you are in a horrible spiritually deformed business whether it's the cash advance business or any other business if you're cheating your customers if you are cheating anybody if you're stealing if you're being dishonest if you're a dishonest doctor if you're a dishonest lawyer you're dishonest in anything you are empowering amalik you are bringing a holocaust to the Jewish people don't blame the non-jews for being evil they're simply being used as a tool by Hashem to get us to do chuva why does Hashem use them because of people like you that steal from them that Empower them this doesn't justify their sins doesn't allow them to cause us any harm but it's important for the Jewish people to know this is not a new thing anti-Semitism being on the rise is not a new thing more than 50% of Americans have already admitted that they hate the Jewish people that's just 50% that admit who knows about the other 50% that hasn't admitted yet that means is between 175 to 200 million people in America Al that hate Jews needless to say the people around the world they have all the reasons in the world to not hate us but you're giving them a reason to hate us we've invented amazing things we've brought amazing things to the world whether it be technology medicine all types of innovation all types of things most importantly religion but you with your rotten greed whether it's in your cash V business or your corrupt other operation are giving the non-jews a reason to hate the Jews no it's not because of the religious Jews like me that the non-jews hate us in fact even anti-semites like us in fact even anti-semites write comments under my videos and say you know what you make me respect the real Jews now you know there's a difference guess what just because someone is religious doesn't mean they're a real Jew and just because someone's not religious doesn't mean they're a fake you if you are cheating the the the non-jews you are the cause of the next Holocaust the next destruction of the bet mikdash you are destroying the BET mikdash every day as kazal teach us every day that the BET mikdash has not been built that's because we destroyed it meaning if it was here today hhm would destroy today anytime you cheat it's a sin but when you cheat a non-jew it's even worse than cheating a Jew because he no longer blames you he blames Judaism it's a so whether you're cheating stealing or simply causing Agony to the non-jews wherever they may be in one business or another you have to understand you are the problem you are the problem it's time to do Chua don't tell me mashia now mashia is not going to help people like you mashia will destroy people like you that empowered amalik many of our communities don't speak about stuff like this because there's money involved because there's reputations involved because of all types of flawed reasons we have to understand this distance that the people have from Judaism today is not because they know so much about Judaism and they decid they don't like it but quite the opposite because the average person the average Jew is not given a real Jewish Education even if they sometimes go to Yesa they smell the kids of this generation smell the dishonesty in the air they ask rabbis basic questions about reward and Punishment they can't get a legit answer they ask different people about different types of things they can't get a normal answer we are all at fault here instead of crying about a building that was destroyed 2,000 years ago perhaps we should start crying until we change today until we fix our behaviors today now while everybody has an excuse of why not so ready to be a and study Torah all day fine can you at least keep the basics of MIT and you know what we'll make it even easier can you at the very least be honest in your business be honest in your ethics be honest with your morality stop chasing all types of things that are forbidden all types of things that don't belong to you all of these liberals claim to be decent people while decency has a completely different definition than what they think it is if there's an ounce of decency in any one of us we have to start seeing what the truth is
