People today are going crazy over this
election fraud or allegations of fraud
as if it's the first time.
Austria,
late 1800s.
A book by name of Sefer Buchara Buchach
Sefer Buchach
publicized by
Am Oved
Yisrael Cohen.
In it has a story
of an election in a Jewish community in
Austria
between
two people,
Dr. Moshe Chaim Bloch
and Dr. Emil Bick.
Both Jews
fighting for position.
Dr. Bick
was very rich
but not so Jewish.
If he had as much Judaism as he did
money,
but it was the opposite.
Born Jewish but not very religious.
Dr. Bloch, on the other hand,
election starts.
Dr. Bick spends an enormous amount of
money
to get the votes of people.
In the beginning he was winning the
election but he saw some magical thing
happened where on the second day
everything turned around and the Jewish
people elected Dr. Bloch.
Dr. Bick did not like this very much and
pressed charges.
What? Election
Saying
several accounts there was fraud in this
election
where they
got the votes of dead people.
They got some people to vote multiple
times. Sounds familiar?
And a few other things.
They brought it to the parliament.
Surely Dr. Bloch and his people defended
themselves and in the case
proved that there was election fraud.
But not by them, rather by Dr. Bloch
himself that's trying to tell him
there's election fraud.
The parliament confirmed after an
investigation and gave the election win
let the election win by Dr. Bloch stay.
A year later, election again.
Same exact thing happens. Dr. Bloch wins
again.
From here
someone that's listening for a first
time not familiar with
say wow, amazing. Wow, lucky guy.
Torah world standard. Why? They're rules
in the world.
David Hamelech says in Psalm 101
verse 7.
David Hamelech says
in the midst of my house
shall not dwell a practitioner of
deceit.
Someone
likes to sell stories to people,
falsehood, all types of nonsense says
not welcome in my house David Hamelech
says.
One who tells lies
shall not be established before my eyes,
meaning if he's a liar, I don't even
want to see him.
I can't stand him.
Gemara Shabbat page 149B and also
14B
says that
himself implements the same exact rules
for himself.
Meaning
sees a guy is lying, a girl that's a
liar, he says I can't stand you. You're
considered an abomination.
Hashem does not want to talk or look at
liars. He can't stand them.
As the Gemara in
page 42A
says
Rabbi says
four classes of sinners do not receive
the divine presence.
Meaning even if they fulfill mitzvot,
even if they keep Shabbat, even if they
learn a lot of Torah
and they do good things,
but if they do these things,
wants no part of them.
Who are these people?
Class of scoffers, people like to make
fun of the rabbis and the Torah.
Ah, this guy's an idiot. No, he's
extreme, fanatic.
Somebody like that, God wants no part of
them.
Class of flatterers,
people like to say hey
how are you to everybody?
The same Gemara says,
Rabbi Lazar says,
any congregation that has flattery in it
will eventually go into the exile.
If the rabbi of the congregation says
everybody's righteous, everybody's
don't worry, Hashem loves you the way
you are,
says you tell everybody where they are,
this synagogue, this community will not
survive.
Will not survive.
Shekhinah is not there. You're playing,
there's no Shekhinah there.
Yeah, but the guy's religious. Pick a
different shul if you're religious.
Because the people that are flatterers,
will never see the Shekhinah.
Liars.
People that are liars will never see the
Shekhinah.
If I lied one time in my life, am I
considered that? No, it says liars,
meaning that you're constantly doing it.
And last but not least, the class of
those who speak
You got something juicy about somebody
you like to talk about it all the time,
other people's business, other people's
property,
you make it your own your own your own
life to do it, not a good idea.
Not a good idea at all.
Why?
If you like to speak
You like to kiss up to people,
you like to lie,
you like to make fun of the rabbis, you
like to make fun of the
you like to make fun of the Torah,
says I want nothing to do with you.
Nothing.
Every Jew must remember that he is a Jew
and she is a Jew. We do not celebrate
non-Jewish holidays even if they seem
harmless. It is a
a disrespect to the Torah and it to
a desecration of God's name.
Stick to our holy Torah and our own
holidays. That is the path of a true
Jew.
