flames Unfortunately they had a lot of false prophets a   lot of falsehood no different  than the false rabbis of today   many people with payos and hats and beards and  long jackets and sometimes they even write books   and they tell you a different way to sin against HaShem Yitbarach. Hashem Yitbarach is telling you in this week's parasha when that false prophet comes it's  a commandment from HaShem to kill him. This week's   parasha the false prophet comes the dreamer  he comes, commandment from the Torah to kill him   obviously we're not here to kill anyone and no  one is claiming to be a prophet but the point   being is that the job of the prophets was to  rebuke the people that's it That was their job. Their job was not to make you feel good. Their job... Moses Our Teacher's job was not to say, "Oh Amos, how are you, how's your family..." That's not his job! Gemara Masechet Megillah says, when Moses Our Teacher died God cried. HaShem Yitbarach cried! If we only know the way He cries if he cries. Point being here it says Hashem the Gemara says HaShem cried he took his soul  at the same time he's crying why crying   He says who's going to rebuke my people like  my son Moses? Who? who's gonna tell them the truth?   why you so care about the truth you don't have  somebody else you know have the prophet Joshua? You don't have the righteous? You don't have this... He goes  no no one is going to be like Moshe. Why? Because Moses was Moshe Avdi. Moses was my slave what does it mean a slave  what does He mean   slave is to us slave means something not good   you tell people about slavery like oh it's no good  you guys believe in slavery still this is archaic In the connection between you and Hashem Yitbarach Halevai! Halevai! meaning I wish I wish one day we can be maybe  something that looks like the shadow of a Slave   Halevai why because a Slave has no personality a  slave has no desire a slave has no opinion a slave wants nothing but the will of Hashem.  Now I went I did a shabbaton in New York about a   year ago and the family I stayed with Baruch Hashem  were very wealthy and they had like a servant   modern day servant gets a  salary lives in a big big house   now if you wake up in the middle of the night  and the Baal HaBayit, the owner of the house says   I want coffee the servant can't say I'm tired  go make it yourself. Why? He'd hang her the next day   or at least kick her back  out to wherever she came from   if he says listen make me pasta at 2 30 in the  morning she can't say no no I'm I'm not ready I got to do some other things  before let me make a call to my mom   let me see if my kids are okay why  slaves servant the true servant of Hashem   removes his own desires from himself  and replaces them with Hashem Moshe was my slave Moshe was my servant why he had no  personal will all he wanted was what I wanted   so the relationship that Moses had with  Hashem is a very very unusual relationship   but still here we see that Hashem  judged him very critically when he   lost an opportunity to sanctify Hashem's  Name and instead of speaking to the stone he hit it Hashem says this is the  reason why you're not going to go   into the Land of Israel obviously there was other  reasons which we've talked about in the past   but nonetheless even he had to  deal with reward and Punishment Moses the one and only that rebuked the nation like no  other where him was this is what Hashem says the   entire book of Deuteronomy is in essence Mose's Journal  he wrote it first it was the first four four books   and that was supposed to be the entire Written Torah  Moses wrote the fifth book and Hashem says I want you   to include your book with my book make  it the five books of Moses why because   his opinion was no opinion there was no opinion  it was Hashem's opinion it was Hashem's opinion If only that we have just for one day in our life just   Hashem's opinion not a whole  life just one day in our life Moses prayed 515 times in parashat Vaetchanan for one sin that maybe he didn't even make he made in his   level but in our level it's not even a  sin 515 times he prayed for one sin we make 515 sins we pray once we say well Hashem  what happened how come you didn't give me uh my   new car my new 10 million dollar house 515 sins  a minute we make we pray one time we think Hashem   is going to give us Yeshua he's going to give us  the Salvation why I heard it from some Rabbi he   said everything's okay connect to Hashem in  whatever way you want he's your friend he's   your buddy who said this who said this where is  it written that HaShem is your buddy where the book of Jeremiah is one of the proofs This parasha is one of those proofs parashat Re'eh to answer  your questions with Divine assistance you see the answer   to your question is already in the beginning  there's no such thing as a free ride [Music]
