collects yidden that love him, that fear him. And here you have all of Ami is in the desert and he says, "I want to count you again and again." Multiple times were commanded in the Torah. But what's the lesson? We've already learned that he loves us and therefore he counts us. What's really the lesson? What's the secret here? You see, if you notice during this census, mentions the names and he first starts with a commandment to Mosherenu. which means take a census also could mean says remove the heads. What does it mean remove the heads? If the leaders of each tribe or any one of the tribes are like a vigman are like Napali Benit are like the ones that misguide the religious community like Manis Freriedman remove their heads. Remove them. Why? Because they're going to lead the entire nation off a cliff. But at the same time, I want you to count what do we have? Who stayed strong? Who abandoned heresy? Who did Chuba for the mistakes they made? Who realized that being in a cash advance business or the like, lending money to Jews or Gentiles with high interest is forbidden according to all opinions in the Torah and therefore abandon it even though that meant that their income is going to go down 90%. Who made the sacrifice for me and really became part of the tribes? Who? Who stopped hating people for no reason? Who? Well, first look at the leaders. If the leaders are hateful, if the leaders are scoundrels, if the leaders are scammers, if the leaders are money hungry, if the leaders are ignoramises that don't know anything about the holy Torah, if the leaders betray the Torah and disrespect the sages, then you don't even need to count because I could already tell you what the tribe is going to look like. So start with the leader, remove the heads, count them separately because that's going to tell us what the rest of the count's going to look like. But after that we go into the names and tells us of the names of these leaders like Beni Shai and Benad for the Shimon tribe. We have Shadai who starts off the book of numbers as a powerful leader that the Maradin says was the grandson of Yakovinu who saw Yakovu and came down to Egypt as one of the 70ote that Yakov brought to Egypt. Meaning he was hundreds of years old. But later on in the same book, same sephid in paratalakum abandoned ship falls for the trap goes and marries a Goya and the says in page 19, a Jew that is intimate with a non-Jew goes to Gome. home and does not come out unless of course they do chuva before they die. But Shadai did this in the worst possible way. Not only did he go and marry the Goya, he publicized it. He made YouTube videos letting people know how they're meant for each other and they love each other and he's a prince and she's a princess and if you know it's meant to be it's meant to be and all types of stupid things that people say to justify their sins against God making things much worse and therefore the Torah changes the name of Shadai to Zim as the says Zimly because he went after what immorality says. He went after wasting seed. He went after doing things that forbid and therefore his name started off as good but ended up terrible had goodus came from the tribe of Yehuda but until you know the behind the scenes story of what happened at Yamsuf you don't really think there's anything special about but then You realize the Non sacrificed everything to show his faith in Akadosh went into the water of Yamsuf before anyone could even imagine that Yamsuf would ever split. Needless to say, split into 12 12 parts in Yamsuf. Each tribe had a tunnel of its own. So we see that the leaders some all started good but some did not end good. In fact every single time we see that punished is it always tells us that he punished the leaders the rashim the heads first. The same will happen in our times as Messiah is coming closer and closer. You will see all of the heads show their true colors. All of the so-called leaders of the religious and irreligious communities of the Zionist and anti-sionist of the American and the Israeli and the European and the, you know, Middle Eastern and the Ashkenazi and the Safari and the atheist and the uh self-hating. All of the leaders, all of the different leaders that are connected to, they're all going to come out and you're going to see everybody's true colors and is going to show you who's the ones that are going to remain ahead and even get further and the ones that are going to be chopped off. We are meant to be a light unto the nations, not to follow their misguided practices. Remember, every Jew has to remember that he's a Jew and she's a Jew. We don't celebrate non-Jewish holidays, even if they seem harmless.
