Children of HaShem - Jewish HaShkafa (113)

there's a movie out there that's trying to inspire people to fight against the evil people that are targeting children and doing all types of evil things and while that fight is well worth it and certainly a important fight it's nowhere near the biggest fight the biggest fight today is for your soul in fact many people don't even realize that it's up for grabs the fight for your soul is sometimes being fought by people that you think are your friends your teachers your colleagues and even family members and if a person doesn't realize that they're in the fight it's usually because they've already lost part of it tonight the Kish is going to teach us and Inspire us how to fight for our soul an inspiration unlike any other if you're going to watch this lecture you're probably going to be inspired to do a whole lot more than what you're doing with something that perhaps you haven't paid as much attention to enjoy the lecture share it Be Inspired let us know when you are and

as well as my book uh the books are in uh Hebrew the USBs are English so uh that's something that you can look into so with that being said let's uh go into the holy Torah and try to uh find ourselves in there find our situation in there find Our Generation in there uh but I must uh uh remind any of you that haven't watched uh the new podcast that uh we released last night with uh our dear friend and talid AR uh Ben Isel where uh he tells you parts of his life story and arya's story is uh you know although unique it's not unique meaning that it's Unique of course his own story is extraordinary but as he himself says there are literally thousands and thousands of Jewish people just like him that grew up in a FR home uh sometimes aish home sometimes a Lish sometimes safarik uh all types of from homes out there but uh got off the fell off the but not because of his own dislikes of the Tor orom his dislikes of Hashem but rather because of bad teachers Bad Teachers bad rabbis bad people that uh simply uh looked at the uh at the wallet instead of looking at the Nish uh and uh looked at the uh you know at the uh at the image rather than looking at the uh the part of a that's inside every single Jew and every single person quite frankly uh of course there's a very big difference between the Jew and the non-jew but it's needless to say the uh when uh you have a bad teacher it doesn't really make a difference whether you're a Jew or Gentile that b bad teacher can destroy a lot of people and uh I heard that there is a uh movie out there not that I'm recommending for anybody to watch any movies whatsoever but simply the story itself is a shocker to of how there is a uh unfortunately a lot of evil people in the world especially uh people in power that are uh kidnapping children and uh doing all of the worst possible things that you can imagine with those kids and it's become a multi-billion Dollar business and uh there are some decent people out there that are trying to fight it and this whole movie is about the story of this uh one individual that uh you know is trying to save some of these kids and the reason why I'm even mentioning this is because certainly there are destroyers of lives that are people are familiar with like this movie is about but there are also destroyers of lives that are sometimes people that get a salary for IT people that are uh you know leaders of a Yeshiva or leaders of a class public school private school doesn't really make much of a difference there are unfortunately many destroy destroyers out there and if a parent uh does not pay careful attention to who is teaching their kids and what they're teaching them uh then uh by the time you find out that your kid was destroyed it may very well be too late arier was a uh one of the fortunate ones where uh after almost 25 years he finally was able to save himself uh but it wasn't uh it wasn't easy and it certainly wasn't a uh you know something that happened quickly and this is really one of the things that the Kish has elaborated on and we elaborate further on today really about who to learn from last week you know he discussed uh how it's important for you to know who you're learning from and to make sure that you know that when thear says in and in several other places that you need to learn from people that have good midot that have good character traits you have to learn from people that are themselves following the toraat completely because if they're an aaran aaran is someone that's uh in the street language considered a criminal in the Holy language is considered a criminal but a different type of criminal a criminal against the tah uh so someone that's an aaran someone that is uh bringing people to sin such as uh you know bringing them to uh a beach uh to go pray even though they know very well that there's going to be a a bunch of emodest people uh walking around which are not allowed to go to such a place but he's bringing them to such a place to go pray because he thinks that that's going to get more of the congregants to come pray or he makes a an event in the synagogue of a casino which is forbidden according to according to all opinions not only is it forbidden to gamble but it's literally to have these events these so-called Casino events events inside these uh synagogues and uh and in so many words uh tell people that yeah listen you gamble here you gamble there this one's going at staka in h the synagogue this one is going to staka in your uh pocket so these types of things unfortunately have become uh blurried in the eyes of uh some people and unfortunately some of those people are board members and synagogues and uh the destruction of the generation continues simply because if people don't do what Arya did for himself and many of our did for ourselves which is literally to just grab the Tora and find out what the truth is uh listen to the truth and run away from lies then unfortunately they could literally live their entire lives being affected and infected by these false teachers that misguide people people that invite Christian missionaries to a you know to a Orthodox synagogue saying that this is a uh a way to make peace among the Nations among the the uh the religions obviously these things are completely forbidden but it's become normalized by a few bad leaders to the point where unfortunately some people don't see a problem there people don't see there being a problem with giving out their own commentary on a toorah that contradicts our sages they don't see a problem in having a fashion show inside a synagogue inside of Yeshiva they don't see a problem in bringing all types of people with questionable preferences let's just say that uh you know to be their speakers or to be their comedians as we spoke about last week so it's very very important for you to educate yourself and not put yourself in somebody else's hands so the Kish here is reminding us that sometimes when you have a bad teacher at first it may not be apparent because he looks like a good teacher he looks like an elder he looks like he is well spoken he looks like he has some accomplishments he has written some books he has a lot of subscribers on the internet in this generation for some reason people think that many subscribers means uh uh you know uh actual uh righteousness uh he has a uh you know so-called following so the key is to understand that looks can be deceiving and it's important to know that you cannot judge a book by its cover you have to look at what's inside and once that teacher speaks whether he be a rabbi or a rabbit sin or any other type of teacher if you are knowledgeable you will be able to know whether that teacher is righteous or Wicked but if you're not knowledgeable then your blood is in your own hands meaning it's not even just the fault of the teacher because he's simply a shark and you can't be angry at a shark for eating somebody it's your fault for putting yourself in the hands of your own ignorance so needless to say each person gets their punishment but you have a solution and a solution is to educate yourself but when it comes to the educator himself says the Kaz that this educator that has these bad character traits that is constantly dist in the Torah that is you know horrible in in different ways this educator is going to create students just like him not only because they're listening to him but when he presents himself he presents himself as if he's the model of perfection an example of all good qualities and all of the regretable actions that he does are done with such pride and arrogance that his student would adopt these delusions and behave abominably while believing that their actions are the purest of pro pure meaning these types of leaders create not only victims that have literally the rest of their lives to cry but also victims that become Predators themselves you know it's not a uh a a very uh um common topic uh for people to to to talk about but when it comes for example uh to the topic of of pedophiles uh many uh many times the pedophile uh was someone that was uh you know that was uh raped himself uh you know so he what he does to other people is what was done to him uh you know and it's a uh say this is something that uh a lot of people may not realize but but what people usually do to others that's evil is typically their Outburst of what was done to them and how that particular trauma uh numbed them to a certain extent as part of the trauma but also as as part of their so-called revenge or or psychological disorder that they've developed as a result of it they lash out on others so the same concept goes with people that are uh you you know are taught by evil people by people that are simply uh Heretics uh you know those people many times become Heretics themselves uh that mislead the public and uh you're actually seeing it uh quite frankly you're seeing it happen online as we speak over the last couple of years some of the people that we've exposed that are famous uh or inFAMOUS Heretics have developed talim not just t them in the public regular average people but even other rabbis are following their footsteps 20 30 years they've been teaching they've never said a single thing that is even relevant to the heresy being taught of God needs you and all of a sudden they have this new K that God needs you and God has needs and he has uh you know all types of uh desires and all types of things that are obviously the opposite of our toah how come if you thought this and you knew this and this is true why didn't you men this mention this during the first 15 or 20 years that you've been teaching or 30 years that you've been teaching so obviously they see the success of some of the other evil people that are mentioning it and they're figuring listen uh let's follow in the footsteps of success rather the footsteps of Truth so the educator himself is presenting whatever evil he's doing with pride with arrogance so much so that his victims think that this is good and such an educator will produce pupil in His image and likeness and if an educator has none of the wisdom of a Torah gained from the laboring in the study of ala and therefore fails in the realm of respecting and obeying Torah Scholars of ala he passes on the same Heritage to his pupils so this particular segment is the end of segment of of uh the section 16 but it's really important for a person to know that one of the things that you can see as a common denominator among these Heretics is that they disregard ala and they disregard other opinions of much greater rabbis than they could ever be uh alike meaning one disregards them and so do the other ones and the other ones mentioned yeah but listen ra MOS Feinstein said the opposite and theim said the opposite and ra said the opposite and everyone said the opposite yeah yeah no but but we heard this from Rabbi so and so yeah but but he's not even enough to be their their their the footsteps of their shoes what are you talk how could you compare no he's been a rabbi for many years I'm sure he knows what he's talking about and it completely disregard the opinions of of the Giants of the generation and it's what happens here the teacher disregard it the student disregards it and of course the teacher distorts reality the students distorts reality now in segment number uh 17 for Section 17 in chapter 4 the K continues and he goes a segue into something else before he comes back in essence to an elaboration of the same point and he says the follows the spirit of man the neish is broader than the sea containing endless lights constantly thinking and weighing matters logically indeed most of its forces will not be utilized in a practical way due to fundamental inhibitions lying at the base of the combination of a soul and a Corporal body see here in this first part is going into a world that many are completely oblivious to don't understand and even if they heard it they simply do not comprehend the capacity and that is the ne the soul of a person now as our sages teach us there are five different parts that can be part of a uh of of the Soul of a person in English they summarize it as just simply soul but there's five different parts there is the and is only something that mashia will have most people just have nees sometimes they have NE and and some that are very holy also have now is really major exceptions uh you know in in the generation but the point being is is that everybody has that basic and that's in essence what the Kish is talking about that's the neish that neish is something that every human being has and here the Kish is telling us that this neish this Spirit of man has Light Within it that is broader than the sea literally endless lights endless capacity now the average person hears this yeah you have a sky is the limit for you any average person can you know usually has a uh something physical that they could uh measure that against so when you tell them sky is the limit like oh yeah well I can make a lot of money and even that a lot of money is defined differently by different people some people think that a lot of money is a million dollars some people that think that a lot of money is a billion dollars a lot lot of money is different for different people and usually whatever you think is a lot of money your full potential is typically about 40% of that uh of what you're able to get yourself to not necessarily what you can do but usually people stop at about 40% of whatever they think is a lot the same concept if you uh talk to them about you know the their physical ability you know if they say that sky is the limit then you know they compare it to whatever physical endeavor they're in whether it be swimming or running or jumping or or uh or anything else that involves the body they compare it to that but really what the Kish is talking about is not the physicality and not your your business Endeavors but rather the capacity of the Soul which is can literally has lights within it can create light can create an impact on the world where what you say can be created where what you think can come to life in such a way that a person that utilizes even one more percent of their brain than the next person can literally make a significance between the two of them of 20 to 50% if not even 100% because most people do not use very much of their brain very much of their uh spirit that they actually have in them because they are limited not limited because of their ability but limited because of different things that are holding them back and these things that are inhibiting them from from from getting to where they need to be are not necessarily always self-inflicted sometimes you have the lack of confidence that a person has where you tell them listen you know that uh you may not be keeping Shabbat right now you may not be protecting your breed right now but you can do it no no it's too hard for me I have you know I have to check my phone and I have to you know see this and I have to see that and protecting my breeds too hard no no for sure you can do that and much more well how do you know simple that's what you created for when created you he created you with that in mind just like when you know they created the uh they invented the uh the the phone they invented that phone to make calls later on they innovated that same phone to also have the ability to go on the internet to send messages to to to look at pictures to take pictures so if I told you that that phone is can take pictures that phone can uh can go on the internet and you're going to tell me well how do you know simple that's what it was made for that's what it was made for now so long as it's still working and it has the energy in it it's what it's made for sometimes it needs a little extra charge in order for it to do what you want it to do but after it gets that charge so long as all the parts work it could certainly do that because that's what it was made for the same concept with you you may not realize that you can keep all of the mitv that you can put on a that you can protect your eyes and not look at things that are inappropriate and immodest that you could be modest yourself that you are a is and you're married to a man so therefore you should cover your head with a and not with another a woman's hair on your head because covering your hair with an hair simply does not uh change anything quite frankly I never understood the logic behind it if your goal is to look like a married woman then How could somebody know that you're a married woman if your hair is covered with hair but the point being is is that you can do it yeah but nobody else does it in my community that doesn't make a difference that shouldn't stop you that's not necessarily something that's holding you back I mean that's you holding yourself back CU you're afraid of perhaps what people are going to say you're you're afraid of how people going to look but really here the biggest inhibitor is you you are stopping yourself will there be lack of confidence but that's why you need different sh different lectures different videos different books to discuss it to give you that boost to give you that energy just like that phone needs that energy boost from the electric socket well it's certainly better to get an energy boost from the uh the rabbi that's giving you a video or or talking about it in a lecture than getting an electric shock in G for not following so sometimes our biggest inhibitor of things is ourself that's certainly true in most cases but sometimes when somebody's really already on a good path they've already decided to leave the army of the Satan start observing MIT start keeping Shabbat start keeping start keeping modesty start doing things the Satan doesn't like it and therefore he sends you some bigger tools some bigger weapons to fight against you and then he sends different friends and family and even sometimes rabbis that are going to tell you what are you doing why you modest why you dress like this you look like a grandmother you look like uh you're from the 1800s why you uh you know why you going to Sho you should go to the pool instead it's a nice day barely anybody there at the at the beach why don't you go over there and he send you different people to misguide you to mislead you and these little amim are sometimes the people that are the closest to you and the SAT specifically sends them because he knows it works now had you known how powerful your soul is and how much light it creates as a result of you overcoming these obstacles you would never even consider it you would never even consider falling for these traps you would simply cleave on to that light and never let go because you'd want more light and even more so if some bad teacher came to you and told you listen what are you doing you're rebuking people who are you to rebuke don't you know that there is a one of the in the says that there's a you can't rebuke anymore don't you know that there's no more rebuke now this very often comes from someone that calls himself a rabbi now of course once that Rabbi said that he's no longer considered a rabbi according to the according to the Torah because he just removed one of the in the T we have 63 one of them is you must rebuke your fellow when you see your fellow doing something against the tah you have to rebuke them now when that Rabbi said there is no more rebuke he just removed one of those mitv and he's considered 100% a heretic even more so once he did that when he saw somebody else is doing it he's actually trying to fulfill the Mitzvah and he's telling him not to do it this is no different than seeing somebody fasting on yum Kip or going to synagogue and praying on Shabbat and observing Shabbat or uh you know having a little on P and now why are you doing that why are you eating mat on P why are you fasting on don't do it why it's not needed anymore this is not this is not different at all why this is removing a Mitzvah this is removing a Mitzvah now this usually happens to people that have even more light than the average meaning the more light you have the more ability you have to help other people the more powerful the weapons that the Satan will send you and this happens unfortunately not just to older people that have done CH watching some of our but even to younger kids that don't even know we exist young kids that are in Yesa that want to learn more want to learn extra but their Rabbi says no no no no don't learn extra just learn what we're learning yeah but I learned everything we're learning and I and I passed the class so I want to learn some more because no no no don't do it don't do it and I've heard unfortunately situations like this where young kids that started taking on more learning on their own were being told by the rabbis that they shouldn't be learning extra just learn what the what Yesa is learning so if a person understood the capacity of their Nish they wouldn't listen to anybody now the GNA says that that when a person goes up to Sham they're going to be judged but they're not going to be judged simply for what they did wrong they're going to be judged for what they missed out on the gives a scary explanation where he says when a person makes a sin and causes a damage on their soul that's not the only thing that they're going to have to pay but they're also going to have to pay for what happened as a result of you making that sin now you made that sin and you caused let's say for example shom you caused the person to not keep Shabbat anymore or you yourself violated Shabbat and instead of going to pray on Shabbat have K on Shabbat you went to the beach on Shabbat you we're playing on a computer on Shabbat now there's the calculation the calculation of how much time you've spent on that other sin that could have been spent learning T how much damage was caused as a result of you not fulfilling that Mitzvah and worse worse yet the damage that a person cannot even quantify is that how much did you enjoy that sin meaning not only did you sin not only did you use the time that you were supposed to make a mitzvah for making sins but you even enjoyed the sin for that is a separate payment for so the G VNA brings us a little bit more perspective of what happens when we turn off the light and says the is no one under the sun has fulfilled his obligation to make full use of his unknown powers and yet there is no one who does not have within himself the energy that forces him to do something some have tremendous energies to the points to the point of their never being able to rest or Slumber so here he's telling us no one out there has used his full potential the N that you have has such extraordinary potential that you have no concept of how much you can do you think that you could maximum learn 15 minutes a day if you get an hour it's already a miracle but in reality hasem created you within the shama that could literally become the that could study 18 to 22 hours per day for the next 80 years you have a of a g you have AA of someone that can bring light to every single Corner in the world right now you think that you simply have a tiny little candle that might be able to light a little table maybe even the room that created you says what room what are you talking about room you are the one that I sent to the world to light entire countries with the Holiness of to that you can teach and when a person does not realize that they'll be sued for it in sh a woman can have a fantastic marriage that could lead her to get how could such a thing be she has a marriage she married she's Jewish he's Jewish they had little Jewish kids everything is wonderful she sends her husband to go work he works he's a doctor he's a lawyer he's a I don't know accountant he's an entrepreneur of some kind and she likes how they're living life and they're going up the corporate ladder they're going up the financial ladder they're doing well the kids are going to Yesa they're getting a decent education but she forgot to send our husband to also go learn a couple of hours a day and when he told her listen an I'm going to go to a on Tuesday night she what Tuesday no no Tuesday night I have H dinner with my friends you have to watch the kids oh okay all right I'll watch the kids then the following day comes up he says okay honey listen there's another sh by Rabbi ruven I'm GNA go watch it with a few friends no what what Wednesday night it's our date night oh yeah yeah yeah no no my bad okay fine no problem yeah yeah where do you want to go tonight no I want to go to that new steakhouse I want to go to a new steakhouse they have uh some uh some good food there okay no problem we're going to go to the steakhous and the next week comes up like oh honey listen I'm going to go learn some Dai with the uh Rabbi what Dai what are you talking about we have to still fix what happened over the weekend the house is a mess I can't do this by myself oh yeah yeah yeah you're right you're right I'm GNA help you I'm GNA help you and the next day comes up he goes honey do you think I can go to Shield to tonight I don't know if you want to leave your your wife alone in the house sad and miserable and I have nothing to do or anyone to talk to because all the kids are gone if you think that's okay then yeah just leave me sure I I'll just cry by myself no no I'd never leave you let's talk what do you want to talk about well you know I really do want to talk about where we going to vacation this summer and she has a wonderful marriage a marriage that will land her inside G and who knows if she'll ever come out of why she forgot the the purpose of life is not the girlfriends and the dinners it's not the cleaning the house but rather it's to make sure that our husband and kids are going to learn to she wanted to talk she's going to regret every single word why the purpose of the wife is to make sure to send kids and the husband to go learn TOA in fact the says what is an what is an is someone that cooks and cleans like a cleaning lady and a and a professional chef No in fact even if she doesn't cook and she doesn't clean she could still be in so long as she raises his kids with Torah and she helps him whatever way he needs to go learn Torah and she makes sure he doesn't sin and that together she's an says the T they never say anything about cooking and cleaning surely it's good if she cooks and cleans but even if she's a professional chef every day she cooks him a five course meal and the house is so clean you can see your reflection on the floor if she doesn't make sure he goes to learn T she has a very serious problem in sh why that's your job in the world now she said yeah but I tried to send him and he doesn't want to go I told him here here's a sh by the rabbi he doesn't like it and that's it you tried and you finished that's that's it let me ask you something when you wanted to go to go visit your parents and uh the end of the world of where they live and it was going to cost about 50% more than you could afford and your husband said no and you cried for three days straight until he said yes did you cry this same way when you didn't want to go to the when you wanted that ring you know that nice beautiful ring you saw on the case on the outside and it was so beautiful and it was so sparkling you just had to have it but your husband said come on honey do we really need this it's such a big expense and you started crying like five people died until he bought it for you did you do the same thing when he said he doesn't want to learn anymore when you wanted that house that house that had to be your house a house that was big enough to fit five of your families and he said honey what do we need this for and you gave him a gave him a sad face as if he just insulted your parents in public did you give him that same sad face when he says I don't feel like learning today now if you did that maybe just maybe you did enough for today but if you didn't even do that that then what role are you playing are you playing the wife of him or the wife of the Satan now I know that some ladies are going to take offense to this and I'm only saying this to help you not to insult you your job in the world is to make sure that your husbands learn toah now sometimes a woman is going to listen to the Satan who tells her listen as long as you're learning it's okay if your husband doesn't learn and sometimes you see a a rabbi comes to speak 500 women show up and six guys now he is here to teach the masses he's not just teaching men and women he has a the men on one side the women on the other side but for whatever reason or another the women have an open schedule 500 of them show up the guys somehow are always busy she figures I'm learning it's good that you're learning but why isn't your husband with you oh he was busy well do what he's doing and make sure he's not busy it's better he goes to the shield than you why he's obligated to learn you're not obligated to learn the same capacity but many times women forget this and they forget that if you watch a shoe invite your husband to watch with you if you're reading a book read the book together with your husband in so many words do whatever you can to get your husband to learn because apparently some bad teacher along the way got him away from learning either because he told him that he couldn't do he told him that he shouldn't do or in so many ways no one ever told them how important it is and now the job has become yours but if you think that you knowing the back and forth is going to be sufficient you're mistaken because your husband needs to learn and that's why this this particular aspect of Bad Teacher is not necessarily always the obvious it's not always the bad Rabbi that everyone is scared of and everyone is uh fooled by it's not always that bad Rosa that kicks out the kids for absolutely no good reason sometimes the bad leader could literally be in the same house as a person the bad leader could be your brother the bad leader could be your wife the bad leader could be your husband the bad leader could be as close as could possibly be and the closer that bad leader is the bigger the light that you have that he's trying to restrict and says the Kish that if a person truly used his full potential the light that they can BR bring into the world the light of Holiness that they can bring into the world is literally immeasurable it's wider than the ocean what a person does versus what he can do are Worlds Apart now there are a couple of people that are mentioned in our Torah as truly Wicked people and K says that the has light in it good in it and he's not saying the light of the righteous people he's seeing the light of people the light of people what's within them is good and could create an enormous amount of good if they allow it to if it's not shut down either by themselves or by others or a combination thereof and therefore we should be able to see this and the most wicked people too and mid 65 gives an two examples of horrific people criminals criminals against the Jewish people that give us a perfect impression of what a light looks like when it's allowed to come out one of them was a person by name of ysep mish ysep Mish was a famous Rasha famous Wicked person evil there was no crime he wouldn't do and when the enemies of the Jews the Romans came and broke down the doors and went into the place where the betam mikdash was they got to Har they were scared to enter the actual bet mikash they've heard of The Miracles they've heard of the Wonders and they were scared of entering it themselves and they were looking the mid says for someone to enter first someone to be like their guinea pig and they asked different Jews to do it and no one would want to do it no no no no we're not going into no until they found ysep Mish and this Joseph Mish said sure I'll go but what's in it for me they said you go inside that b mikdash and whatever you bring out is yours y m said no problem he went inside the bet mikdash he went inside the KES and surely side from the table and the K and extraordinary things inside the bet mikdash the most most apparent thing that you can see is that manora that manora that's three tons of gold and ysf Mish brought that manora out Wheeling it out and as soon as he came out the Roman said okay well you have to go again why I went well this is not something that people use you know that go get something else goes no no no I'm not going again I'm not going again listen you want it once just go again get whatever else you want I'm not going again listen ysf will give you all of the taxes that are going to be collected from the Jewish people for the next 13 years meaning something much more valuable than what he already got 13 years worth of taxes all goes to you he says I'm not going I made my God angry once I'm not going to do it again what you made your God angry once you the wicked person that just a moment ago didn't care to help the enemy just a moment ago didn't see mitv as being part of your life or even part of your mind you are now concerned about angering God so of course in the typical Roman way these evil monsters decided to tie him up on table where they would saw the wood and they tied him up I told me you're going to go we're going to saw you into pieces he said I'm not going I Ander I angered my God once I'm not going to do it again and they started cutting him to pieces and instead of saying ow instead of saying no what ysf Mish was screaming was oi to me that I made my God angry o to me that I made my God angry this ysph that did not care about mitah just a moment ago help the enemy now when into the BET mikdash and that spark of a Jew finally came out and he didn't see anything but Holiness he didn't see anything but the fear of God and as he's being cut to Pieces he's crying out loud that he made God angry until he died this wicked person still had a holy n another person that mid brings is the nephew of of Rabel his name was uh Yak this switch sides instead of being with the Jewish people he went with the Romans and of course the Romans outlawed learning toah outlawed teaching toah one day they caught R RI teaching Torah and they said okay you're going to get a death penalty after they tried them in their fake trials because everyone was guilty automatically they started taking him on the horse towards going to hang him and as he being brought towards the place where they're going to kill him coming the opposite ways his nephew who has now become one of the important people in the uh Roman uh government and he stops him and he says H uncle look at you look at the horse that your master meaning Hashem gave you and look at the horse that my master the Roman Emperor gave me your horse is bringing you death my horse is bringing me reward look I'm living life AB says to his nephew yes but just think about the reward that Hashem will give me versus what reward did your King give you but this yakum was not uh phased by this reward what reward Heaven who went there and came back he says ah that doesn't face me I have all the reward that I need that the reward doesn't work teaching people about reward does not work when they're in such a situation and he says to him if that's the case just think about this if the King of Kings is punishing me for whatever sin that I made I learned Torah I did MIT I follow the Torah I did everything possible that it says in the Torah and surely I've made mistakes along the way but what mistakes did did this giant that will be like his sins but the point is surely everyone makes certain mistakes he says for whatever small mistakes that I made in my life of dedication to God if this is what I'm getting punished with needless to say just imagine what the punishment is going to be for someone like you that desecrates the name of God that has committed treason against God that abandoned the Shabbat that abandoned the Covenant that abandoned the holy Torah and that my dear friends worked when yakuma heard this his face changed color and he realized this is 100% the truth if this perfect sadik is getting this punishment for whatever minor sin he made what will he get for desecrating God's name what will he get for living a life of sin he went the mid says that spark of his n was now lit there was no turning it off he realized he has committed every sin you could possibly make there is no longer a Sedin that can give him a death penalty for it and therefore he administered himself but he had to administer a death penalty of every kind you have the Skil which is the stoning you have the fire you have the uh um hanging and you have the sword and he set himself up he put a tree up he hung himself on the tree on the bottom of the tree he lit a BN fire and in the in the middle of it there was swords so as soon as he hung himself the fire also burned the Rope he fell on the uh he fell that's the skila that's the stoning and on top of the sorts in so many words all four death penalties administered at once when his uncle ABI is about to be hung his holy eyes see the Nish of his nephew floating in the air with an announcement made Heaven welcomes this person Heaven welcomes this Yak e why he did complete Chua now of course no one is expected and no one is allowed to commit suicide but the point here is to show that that beautiful holy spark is in every single Nish Every Soul has it why is one guy focused on putting tattoos on his face and looking like a criminal and acting like a criminal while another guy is focused on tattooing his his his mind and his soul with holy Torah and doing MIT very simple something got in the way sometimes that something is yourself sometimes it's somebody else that's in your life the bigger the light that you can create the more you're going to have these obstacles that come in in forms of people and in forms of different uh things that happen in your life to keep that light down and the only way that you could ever get to where you want to be and where you need to be is if you overcome those obstacles because no one is going to do it for you sometimes people send messages saying listen Rabbi I want to do cha but it's uh too expensive to live in a Jewish neighborhood well Rabbi listen it's a uh I want to learn toah but I can't dedicate more than uh you know uh maybe one hour a week or Rabbi I want to convert but I uh I can't move to a Jewish Community can somebody else do these things for me is there an organization that's willing to pay me to move to Israel is there an organization that's willing to pay me to go learn Torah so they can pay me like $110,000 a month for me to learn is there an organization that could simply take care of all of my problems while I become a sadik no there isn't and you know why because God doesn't need you to do it you need to do it he say yeah but if God really wants me to do it why don't he just give me $10,000 a month so I could learn Torah why should he give you $10,000 a month you could learn to if you could do for 500 bucks or a th000 bucks or $1,500 withad why would he pay you so much if he can get 10 people for the same price the point is that people want somebody to do it for them it doesn't work that way the purpose of your life is to overcome the obstacles to bring that light out the more you overcome the more light will come out the more you expect other people to do for you the more you yourself are keeping your light out says [Music] there are some people that are energetic as for these energetic ones whose teachers have wronged them in their youth and have not raised them to labor of Torah their excess energy will be necessarily conjured up intellectual and scientific issues in order to quench their thirst as the spirit yearns for knowledge and the pleasure of logic and thought and since their intellect is strong and they lack the wisdom of Torah they will invent their own thinking a new Torah and commandments so here the Kish is giving us in essence a warning some of us are above average most are average or below but there are some people that are above average their intellect is higher their capacity is higher their energy is higher they want to do more they have a lot of energy typically you can see this with kids they run around they jump around they don't want to sleep they don't want to follow the system but sometimes those same kids are viewed as bad if your kid likes to jump around they sometimes in they schools they'll call them uh crazy they'll tell them that they need uh they they have attention deficit disorder this new sickness that was invented by lazy teachers and lazy parents if the kid doesn't want to pay attention like a Rob robot like someone that's on drugs then he must have attention deficit disorder oh yeah yeah my uh know the kid has tension deficit disorder why well he can't sit down in class he's always jumping around that's not aention defit disorder oh what is it what is it different sickness yeah it's called childhood what what do you mean the teacher said he has tensent deficit disorder no the teacher maybe has a tension deficit disorder the kid kid is a normal kid he just needs to find perhaps maybe a more interesting teacher or a more patient teacher or a combination of both but more times more times than not there's nothing wrong with the kid oh no this one is tensent deficit disorder why he uh falls asleep in class no he doesn't have t deficit disorder you know what he has he's lazy it's also called childhood some of the kids are lazy either they're lazy because the teacher is not interesting or they're lazy because they simply are being distracted by other things because the parents give them video games the parents give them all types of sports the parents give them all types of other things that are occupying their mind say Rabbi listen is it a good idea to send my kid to karate classes uh is he need to defend themselves against any terrorists no no isn't it good for him to defend himself against who who is he defending himself with against no in case somebody attacks him why would anybody attack him where do you live you live in a like a a terrorist Camp you live in some type of like gang wars or something he's red and you're blue where is he live no but in case some anti-semites attack him uh if an anti-semite attacks they usually attack with like weapons the karate is not going to work it's only in the movies oh maybe I should send my kid to go and learn how to sing for what why does he need to learn how to sing teach him how to be a Kazan be a caner he doesn't need to learn how to sing he needs to learn how to pray oh maybe my kid can go and and learn how to be like live in the uh in in the in the fields in a camping you know be like one of those campers do you live outside or do you live in a house no we live in a house but just in case in case of what one of the movies you watch comes true and there's a war and everybody lives in the streets in little Bungalows and little little Huts what happens why would your kid need to know how to survive outside and how to catch some reptile and make a I don't know make a jacket out of him why would your kid need to know that people send their kids anywh there just to keep them busy oh I'm going to send my kid to go play basketball for who for what oh it's it's good maybe he's going to be good at it yeah that's the problem if he's good at it he's going to want to do it and he's going to spend half or more of his day chasing some basketball instead of chasing God and the better he is at it the worst it is because then he'll be accepted on a team and then he'll focus on that when was the last time you heard of a sadik coming out of any of these basketball football baseball teams usually the more successful they are the more it ruins their life they succeed they get a contract they get money with that comes the prostitutes with that comes the drugs with that comes the adultery with that comes with the disaster with that comes the desecration of God's name oh and you're on TV though is that really all worth it is that really worth it people try to get their kids to become celebrities instead of getting their kids to become simple tadik decent people and that's the mistake sometimes of the parents but sometimes the teachers mislead the parents by telling them that their kid is in Inc capable their kid falls asleep in class their kid is hyperactive you have to drug him don't drug your kids you could drug the you could drug the teacher if he wants to take it like this famous story that came out of Israel years ago there was one obnoxious Rabbi that had his arrogance up in the air and he told one of the uh kids parents that uh if they don't uh give their kid this uh this drug to Cal him down he can't come back to Yesa and he told the teacher listen Rabbi you know he's a good kid no no listen if you don't maybe the teach maybe the rabbi can have a little more patience with him no under no condition if he doesn't take it he doesn't come back to Yeshiva so they said but yeah but maybe he's gonna be embarrassed how all the other kids are going to know that he's taking a you know this this pill that is a uh you know he's different from the other kids so it's embarrassing him it's embarrassing the kid in front of all of his uh classmates Rabbi isn't that against the Torah so the rabbi thinks for say he goes okay you know what fine what I'll do is I'll have him I'll have him do it you know away from everybody I have a plan I'll tell him to go to bring me my coffee every day and when he brings the coffee he can take the pill away from everybody CU he has to take it at the same time every day so he could be away from everybody no one's going to see him and that way when he comes back No One's Gonna with my coffee no one's going to question him of what he did and where he was oh thank you Rabbi appreciate it okay a week passes and they see the kid is much happier and wow this this this the rabbi was right this this drug worked the kid is much calmer the rabbi is not complaining great to make a call to the everything okay everything's okay okay another week passes and they see the kid is still happy everything is good and the rabbi is not complaining wow wow amazing another week passes and now they see the kid is happier than he's ever been in his life he's blooming he's blooming and no complaints from the school and now they started questioning this a little weird why because usually this drug calms the kid down and he hasn't really calmed down he's still jumping he's still active he's still doing all these things so the father asked the kids like listen so everything's good at school goes yeah yeah it's been better than ever I love it oh okay good the the rabbi is still he's good with you yeah he's great he's amazing and you're taking you're taking the pills like uh like like like he said and the kid looks at the father goes yeah everything the rabbi told me I'm doing what what do you mean cuz what do you mean everything the rabbi told you he says well every day the rabbi tells me to go get his coffee to put the pill in it and I give him the pill ever since then everything is good the rabbi is good he's healthy now they called the rabbi and they said Rabbi so how's the kid doing and the Rabbi says your kid is the best kid in class he's the best kid in class I've never seen such a good kid and then they tell the rabbi Rabbi you realize what happened here instead of our kid taking the pill for the last three weeks you're the one that's been taking the pill when the rabbi realized this obviously stopped taking the pill but he considered taking it and maybe getting a prescription because you realize that the problem is perhaps not the kid sometimes the problem is the kid but sometimes it's not and the K says that if the kid is an energetic one and you don't Channel his energy in the right direction that energy will go somewhere and there was one time that a r came to get a blessing from theim was like the the grandfather of am is but when this rash came as soon as theet saw him he turned his back to him and refused to give him a blessing everyone saw this public embarrassment but there's nothing that the Rosa can do and he left when it asked why I mean there public embarrassment says don't worry about public embarrassment that person is responsible for some of the worst Crimes of the generation you want me to make give him a blessing Rosa is responsible for Crime had a big Yeshiva lots of students what crimes he says there was once a boy that came from a poor family was an orphan his father died and his poor mother was raising him but the poor mother did not have money to pay for the Yesa pay for tuition and the Russa told her if you don't come up with the money we're going to have to throw the kid out and she cried to him said there's no way for me to come up with the money please just let him learn he says it cost us money to teach if you don't have the money then just send them to different school and unfortunately that's what happened and that r IBA threw out that young boy despite the mother the Widow's tears despite that Mother's begging for him to not do it and that young boy had a lot of energy that young boy had a lot of potential that young boy had a lot of light and instead of that light turning that young boy into one of do he became one of the leaders of the communist movement Le trotski and you want me to give that Rabbi that caused Le Trotsky to be who he is and what he is you want me to give him a blessing a person doesn't understand the outcome of his actions unless he has the fear of heaven but sometimes a person has to be reminded in the podcast interview last night that was aired last night Arya told us about a story of how when he was a young boy he got thrown out of the Yeshiva because didn't have much money didn't have much connections Yus they call it but you can't really tell people listen I'm going to throw you out because of money I'm going to throw you out because you're not connected to some big rabbis or so they blamed it on the fact that his grandmother had a TV which obviously everyone knows is complete nonsense certainly we're not advocating for anyone to have TV but needless to say this is not a reason to throw a kid out of Yesa so the only hope for the kid that has TV in the house or the grandmother has is the Yeshiva so instead of teaching him not to fall for the Trap you're in essence throwing him to the Trap what's the logic behind it sort of like the two rabbis that came to thein and told him listen this young boy he doesn't really fit in with everybody his family they're like you know they're like balet Chua they're not really uh of the same caliber can we throw them out looking for the of the Steinman he says no you have GAA you're arrogant why do you want throw out why he says I'm a baluba what's the what's wrong with a baluba what's wrong with him you have GAA he tells him but unfortunately Steinman wasn't there he didn't know about AR didn't know about AR but those rabbis knew about him and they threw him out after a few years of him completely becoming secular one of the rabbis saw him saw him apparently living a secular lifestyle and wanted to apparently Stick it to him not realizing that he's sticking the fork in his own eye he told him aren't you afraid of geham the way you're living your life and young are you at the time says to him no I'm not afraid of gam because I know that you're going to be in there with me because you threw me out of the Yeshiva when I wanted to stay that foolish Rabbi went and told the other rabbis there and apparently one of the big leaders there knew the kid is right he knew the kid is right and at the moment of truth he stood up for the truth and he stood up and he told everyone there a very good chance that I lost my because of these boys that I threw out of the Yeshiva because you can't take it back it's already time it's already passed mistake has already been made but apparently that apology is very likely the reason why that Rabbi had the Merit to get saved when Arya did Chua many many years later but how many people are like that how many people are going to do chuba after getting such insults how many people people going to admit that it's really their fault so a person needs to know that your Judaism is not defined by other people's perception of you your Judaism is not something that anyone can take away from you aside from you taking it from yourself if you want to live a righteous life whether Jew or Gentile it's in your hands nobody else's you can't use anyone as an excuse and you can't blame anyone but yourself even if you have some bad teachers that fool you cheat you and mislead you but needless to say if a person does fall for those traps fall for those obstacles of the Satan whever ever is a tool that the Satan uses whatever Bad Teacher whatever bad Rabbi whatever bad parent even will also get punished but that's not going to bring anyone to Heaven that just increases the number of casualties so the K says that those energetic ones whose teachers have wronged them and have not raised them to labor in Torah their excess energy will be used for something else and since their intellect is strong and they lack the wisdom of Torah they will invent their own thinking their own Torah according to their thinking these are the Commandments and this is the Torah and they are extremely happy for having merited to Enlighten others with their Torah meaning their new version of the Torah but the truth of the light of the Torah cannot be perceived by mere musics rather only by those who labor in it and taste its sweetness and the greater the person's special talents the greater the loss when he remains outside of the study hall of a talmud for there is nothing greater than the study of talud and not only has he robbed himself of wisdom and knowledge he has robbed his generation of a wise and understanding person but he also brings wrong ideas and false teachings into the world and goes on to teach them to his students causing them to forget the Torah and to go off the straight path here the Kish tells us the development of what happens to a person who has an extraordinary light in him and each and every single one of us has a light some have bigger than others but needless to say everyone's light is wider than the ocean everyone can do much more extraordinary things than they could possibly imagine but there are some that are even an exception to that they're given certain gifts they're Geniuses they're unique while everyone has enormous potential enormous abilities far more than they can imagine yes you that plays video games for 5 hours a day you have huge potential yes you that has a problem with even wearing modest clothes you have enormous potential yes you that has been stealing from his customers for the last 10 years enormous potential yes you that has never read a complete book from you know from cover to cover you have enormous potential some of my students that I've literally completed CH when I first met them they never read a single book some of might tell me deem that literally have become extraordinarily righteous people we're never good students we're never much of anything but they became something after they got into the Torah everyone has enormous potential and even in that world once you allow that light to come out some have even brighter light than others they were born with certain gifts and whoever turned off that gift needs to know they didn't turn off the light it's simply they channeled that light to its different direction and that light will be spent somewhere else some other science some other intellectual Endeavor and that's where you see many times the extraordinary successful CEOs extraordinarily successful Executives extraordinarily successful scientists engineers doctors lawyers all types of media many times you see them Jews that are the children of religious parents sometimes even the children of rabbis or grandkids of big rabbis those kids grew up that light still there but instead of being channeled to its good instead of being channeled to its Holiness instead of being channeled to create more Beauty in the world more good in the world more Holiness in the world is now being channeled into something else sometimes that something else is evil sometimes that something else is good but not their purpose they're good at being a doctor but that's not their purpose they're good at being a executive developing new ideas but that's not their purpose and unfortunately that light that was supposed to bring thousands and thousands of Jews back to Hashem that light that was supposed to be utilized to sanctify God's name more than anybody else does in that generation is utilized to sanctify the internet to sanctify their bank account to sanctify their perversions to sanctify all types of crazy things but only sanctify them in their own mind because it becomes their own Torah but not a good Torah just the Torah in their mind something that they hold valuable many times that could have been different many times somebody got in the way there was one time where a parent walked next to me as I was W to Sho and uh he was crying to me about his son how his son is not keeping to I said yeah but why don't you send it to Yesa he said no I tried I said okay so what happened he said that they they didn't accept him because I didn't have enough money and uh they you know the uh they told me not to uh that I can't send them there I said yeah but you live you live here you live in a community where there's a lot of people that have money why don't you ask anybody he said I asked the rabbi and the rabbi himself told me sent him to public school that was the beginning of the end of my relationship with that Community let's just say that when I realized there's something wrong here as I investigated I saw that it wasn't a fake story and unfortunately it was wasn't the only story these types of stories are everywhere but guess what even though somebody got in the way even though the rabbi was bad even though the community didn't help when you go up to Sham you can't really use those excuses as why you lived your entire life a life of sin because just like you learned how to be a doctor or a lawyer or an engineer or programmer developer or whatever rocket scientist you also able to learn the purpose of life yes you had an obstacle in your way yes you had a bad teacher in your way but that didn't stop you from succeeding in many other things so yes the teacher and the rabbi and whoever else got in the way and and caused you trauma and caused you hardship is going to get punished but that does not mean that you're going to go to heaven for living a life full of sins for some reason people think that just because somebody doesn't kill people that means they're gonna go to heaven oh he's a they use this this misguided understanding of what a captured baby is inic terms to make people think that it's okay that people are secular oh no he lived he grew up in a secular house so he's a oh he grew up uh you know he grew up with no uh no local Yesa so oh he lived in you know in a secular community so he's a everybody everybody's a means captured baby now even if you want to say that he's a he's a captured baby even though ra raash and the overwhelming majority of will disagree with you according to pretty much almost all opinions even the most lenient ones are going to disagree with you but even if they agree with you even if you'll find somebody that agrees with you if you ever saw a captured baby would you just say oh he's a captured baby he's a captured baby and just walk away no free the baby okay you see him he's clueless about Judaism he's clueless about the truth free him teach him why leaving him captured why do you tell him it's okay to drive the sh on Shabbat why do you tell him it's it's okay that he's married to a non-jew like free the baby free the guy that doesn't know anything why leaving him captured and even if you say well I don't know how to free him I don't know how to free him or it's not my responsibility to free him or all types of other incorrect conclusions that people come to you have to understand is not a alic term that means that whoever doesn't know because of some circumstance is simply going to go to heaven anyway no one in the world ever says that all means is simply that the way you treat him in this world where if he is a let's say he doesn't even know that he's Jewish and you found out he's Jewish and he touches your wine that's now obviously if he doesn't know he's Jewish he's desecrating Shabbat if a non-jew that's you know it touches your wine that's not M you have to throw out the wine if a Judah desecrate shab on purpose touches your wine you throw out the wine but if a touches your wine you don't throw out the wine that's it that's all it means it doesn't mean that just because he doesn't know he goes to heaven anyway with mosenu and RAB AKA all it means is how you treat a Mally in this world that's it but for some reason the public has been misled to believe that since we live in a generation where a lot of people are ignorant therefore hasem is simply just going to decide to put everyone in Heaven guess what if you put everyone in Heaven it's going to turn into G if you put all of the all of the all of the people that are all of the people that are desecrating God's name on a regular basis in heaven it turns into Gom all the sadim will leave heaven and go to Gom instead because at least over there they're being rectified there's no such thing as someone that is not observing going to heaven there's no such thing there's no reality like that the stories that were mentioned in the midash earlier of these exceptional stories these exceptional n that rectified themselves through the death penalty and so on it doesn't mean that they go to heaven forever and they live up pleasantly simply meant they don't have to suffering G they have done their tun if you will but in order for them to earn a place in heaven and and and live a Wonderful Life and so on forever they have to still fulfill the mitv either way no one is doing anything remotely close to what R did or any of these uh ysf Mish did or anybody else the point being is is that a person needs to know that you have a light in you that gives you the potential and ability to do extraordinary things there are going to be obstacles in your way without a doubt people will get in your way in fact the bigger the light the bigger the obstacles the bigger your potential to create good in the world the bigger the possib ability that even the rabbi that's local to you will be your enemy that even your parents may say that you shouldn't be doing what you're doing even though you're going on the righteous path that some of your friends will turn into enemies why because the Satan has many soldiers and he's going to use all of them to get in your way now when a person understands the value of what can be done if you actually take advantage of that light did never even look at sin twice years ago R yashiv told his gabai that he wants to go visit a young man that uh got injured pretty badly and he went to visit and anyone that knows a little better about r yashiv r yashiv was very particular about how he used his time but in this particular case he was visiting a and he spent an hour with him talking to him T after after this the asked them why did you spend so much time with this young man he says to him do you know how he injured himself he injured himself because he was learning T in a bet mid and he needed another book and that book was on top of everything else so he had to climb one of these big ladders to go up to the ceiling so he this walk up letter he walk up to the letter and he didn't want to waste a single moment as soon as he got to the book he started reading it and he got so deep into the Torah within a moment that he forgot that he's two stories up on a ladder and he walked off the ladder as if he was still downstairs and he fell down and broke his bones anyone that can go so deep into the tat that he forgets that he's two stories high in the air is someone that is certainly good for us to spend an hour with years later that someone became the brother yashiv already knew at that time that this young man is going to be a Gul and they were very friendly throughout from that point on for many many years recently and his weekly sh hosted for the yard site of yashiv he uh his the son of Rabel yashiv came and spoke and both and Yash son both extraordinary both are sharing family stories because the families have been so close for so many years and it's beautiful to see how one Gad was able to recognize another GD before anybody else can one light was able to see another when a person understands that what you have what you've already be given could literally make you a lot more successful than you can possibly imagine then it becomes easier to understand why the punishment for not doing it is so heavy because as the K says by not going after that light by not taking advantage of that light that Hashem gave you by not going to learn the talmud by not going to learn the holy Torah by not going to take advantage of literally a direct connection to a and allowing that light to come out you're not only robbing yourself of of knowledge and wisdom but you're actually robbing the entire generation of a you're robbing the entire generation of that wisdom and if it's a really big light that's within you you're not only robbing the generation of that wisdom but if you had the potential to be a gador if you had the ability the light to be a giant that means that you will use that light for horrible things for things that are the opposite of truth and that's where it gets really ugly the the head of the some of the most vile Jewish Personalities in the last couple of hundred years was AA Lei some of the heads of some of the most vile things in the last couple of hundred years with its marks or some of the other horrible people that the world uses as an excuse as a pretext to hate Jews some of them were Marx wasn't but at least not to my knowledge but the point is some of those people were tell some of them weren't but needless to say each one of them had the same ability or if not more to do just as much good as they did evil but the Satan fooled them and anyone around them to make them think that they're going in a better path and Kish is saying that whoever was involved whoever was responsible whoever was a partner in destroying those will have a price to pay because they didn't just Rob that person of Eternity of Heaven they robbed an entire generation now the average person when you ask them you know what blessing do they want usually people ask for money or they ask for a lot of things in the we say you know the morning blessings we thank Hashem for giving us everything 39 he says in the name of the sages that this blessing that is saying that God made me everything is specifically referring to shoes if you have shoes to wear Hashem gave you everything that you need now the average person in the world looks at this like what what do you mean isn't he referring to the body isn't he referring to the eyes isn't he referring to the soul no no he's referring to shoes why because the other parts of your the gifts that hasem gave you that you're supposed to thank him for every morning you already blessed those you already thank them for it when it says so key that thank you Hashem for giving me everything it's actually referring to shoes thank you hasem for giving me shoes but you don't say thank you for giving Mees you say that he gave me everything I need why everything why is the shoes considered everything that I need because once a person has shoes that means that they have the ability to do whatever it is the name need to do you need to go to sh need to go to the midash you need to go serve hem you need to go to work wherever you need to go you can do it in so many words you have everything you need to reach your full potential if you simply have shoes on so don't cry and say no no I can't reach my full potential if I don't have uh this amount of money I can't reach my full potential if I don't live in this community I can't reach my full potential if I don't have such and such no no no you have shoes that means you have everything you need to reach your full potential surely it seems like it would be easier if you had more money if you had a better Community if you had this and if you had that sure you're right it would be better theoretically speaking but apparently it wouldn't be how do I know it wouldn't be because if you don't have it that means the master of the world decided that you don't need it right now right now you have everything you need tomorrow you may need something else next week you may need something else a year from now you may need something else but don't worry about a year from now worry about today because if he gave you what you needed today and you used what you have today like you're supposed to surely he will give you what you need a year from now when you need more but if you worry so much about the future and what you're going to need in the future then that means that you're never going to act on today you're never going to do what you need to do today and you're never going to reach that light it's important for a person to understand if you have shoes you have the ability you have the tools to fulfill your potential and therefore you bless hm thank you for giving me everything I need if you truly mean that when you say your morning blessings that means that today you're going to do the best you possibly can to reach your full potential today don't worry about tomorrow or next year or 500 years from now worry about today and when that obstacle comes in your way whether that obstacle is a long bearded person that calls themselves Rabbi or some other Superstar type of person or some Wicked person or some drug dealer or some woman that you're not supposed to look at or some this or some that when all of those different obstacles come in your way and tell you why you doing this don't do this don't do that do something else always remember I have shoes on I have the tools to do everything I need to do to reach my potential right now and I only have this one obstacle in front of me whether it be these bad teacher or bad person or bad obstacle that's the only thing that's in front of me to reach my full potential that's it don't worry about the obstacles of next week and next year and Next Century the obstacles of today is only what's in front of you if you could reach your full potential today certainly you could reach your full potential tomorrow and if you could reach your full potential tomorrow certainly you could reach your full potential the next day and on and on and on but if you burn your days and waste your time with all types of video games and all types of waste of life conversations and all types of waste of life meetings and all types of waste of life sleeping then you're simply wasting your life and you're allowing the obstacles to Simply become your life and when you go up to shamim and they ask you why did you live such a life that didn't reach your full potential and you're going to ask him what was my full potential and they're going to show you that you had the potential to be the most righteous person in the generation the biggest scholar in a generation ation the most extraordinary rabbits in Rabon in the generation you had the ability to be a woman that Not only was righteous herself knowledgeable herself modest herself but also brings brings the next generation of righteous people to the world but instead of bringing those next generation of radas and stier gons to the generation you're focusing on Corporate America to build your uh your resume to be a CEO of some publicly traded company one day you are too concerned about their husband being rich enough to make sure before you have kids so therefore you didn't get married until you got until you became Rich you worried about all the wrong things instead of fulfilling your full potential now many times the Satan will come to you and tell you yeah but there's so many obstacles he's a liar how do I know because usually all you have is the obstacles of today yeah but next week I have a lawsuit next week is a long time from now yeah but 90 days from now I need to move oh 90 days that's like that's like a century might as well be a century No but next year I need to go there next year do you know how long next year is do you know how long next year you know how much you can do in a year you could literally build a country in a year people are worried about things that will happen down the road worry about today mommy worry about today worry about today fulfill your purpose today do your homework today fulfill your potential today learn today do today you're worried about next week who gave you guarantee you going to live till next week who says this problem will exist next week who says the next year the circumstances will not change you know how long that is a year from now it's a long time a year don't worry about a year or even a week worry about today today you have an opportunity to bring out that light to bring out that light that you have inside you and let it come outside and play once play with the beautiful world that a created let that light learn some tah let that light live with the Torah let that light come out not to play video games and chase after all types of people and chase after all types of immorality let that light unify with its creator today tomorrow that's a long time from now but if you get there after you have so much fun today you're going to want to do it tomorrow too but don't think that just because you did it good today and the Satan fell flat on his back today he won't get up to stop you again tomorrow in fact he's very likely to bring some new weapons tomorrow today he brought you some bad video that confused you tomorrow will actually bring you the bad people to confuse you today he brought you the bad phone call tomorrow he may bring you a bad email every day he's going to bring something but don't get mad at him that's his job your job is to bring out that Holy Light that's within you to fulfill its potential if you're a married woman priority in your life is to fulfill the MIT yourself be modest woman cover your hair cover your body make sure you how you build a kosher home you have a husband make sure he's learning toah you have kids make sure they're learning toah before you worry about your own scholarship and you worry about anything else in the world and what your girlfriends are doing down the street and what your grandmother is doing in a different country make sure that your own house is in order if you're a man make sure that you're learning TOA certainly you need to make a living certainly you need to make sure that there's food on the table but who's the one that gives you the food who's the one that gives you the job it's the same one and one and only that tells you you have to learn Tor where he says if not for my Covenant day and night the rules of the world will cease to ex exist the rule that your job is supposed to pay you on time will cease to exist the rule that your customers will pay will cease to exist the rule that the opposite party that's supposed to be your partner will not Sue you will cease to exist all types of things cease to exist when hasem doesn't see enough Torah once you learn Torah then you see how the world is supposed to work Satan will try to make you think that it's otherwise it's going to make you think that no no if if you learn to you're not going to have time to work if you learn to you're not going to have time to eat if you learn to you're not going to have time to be with your kids you're not going to have time to be with your wife you're not going to have time to do a lot of things it's all a lie the more you learn Torah the more you'll find time to do all the other things why because once you bring more of that Supernatural light into the world the natural becomes less relevant to you days to a person without light seems like it's tomorrow to someone that has a little light it's literally like 90 miles away 90 years away 90 light years away it's all that say it's just so far it's just so far why because how much can you accomplish in one day one day you could accomplish so much use that light and don't let anyone else get in the way even if they say they mean well you have the Torah which is the instruction set of how to fulfill your purpose in light in life and part of that purpose is bringing out that light that light that is literally wider than the ocean thank you for learning with me m bless each and every single one of you to have the courage the wherewithal and the audacity to bring out that light and never shut down anybody else's light we'll speak to each other and learn again later this week in the beginning you know I feel I can't find a job I'm going to try to open another business I went from one deal a different deal I made a couple of very bad deals lost a lot of money after a year or so I went to my accountant and I asked him to add up all the money that I worked on shabas over the last few years that I made him profit compare it to my losses on the funds from selling that business and it was we're talking at in the thousands of dollars in the heavy thousand and it was almost to the penny Hashem took back everything I earned on shabas he took it back Investments it was a great comfort for me what gave you that idea to ask your account for million [Music]
