[Music] thank you very much for having me it's my first time in Five Towns um before we start we have to always uh remember the uh the hosts uh this sh will be for Tamar Ma and also our two uh dear Sons uh Eddie Ephraim Ben Tamara and Mark Ben Tamara also for a for scho Kuma but Maz aradi Ben epim roel B SAR Miram B abig Ben SAR Tamara Rael Alik Ben aario arur Ben Tamara Mel Ben Rael also for um Leana ra Ben David Ben um and um Forin Ro benaa but liina Kina Ben Rael le le Sim and uh Second and and also for and also all of the people that have come here to learn now I'm going to start you know everything is really people always ask me what are you going to talk about the answer is I have no idea so and the reason why is because it all depends what wants this crowd to listen to you know a speaker if he has a good kavana meaning his intention is to help the people get closer to then he doesn't necessarily need to worry too much about preparing a speech and the reason why is because even he prepares or he doesn't prepare as long as he learns to is going to put the words in his mouth that are specific for the people that are watching now sometimes I try to beat the system what I do I try to prepare the speech I come to the sh I talk for three hours I look at my list I see I didn't speak about even one thing from the list why because wanted me to say something else for that particular crowd many times people come to the and say listen Rabbi have question I said okay after the sh you can ask as many questions you want the sh ends 3 hours later said okay so what about your questions she goes no no the sh as answered my questions why because you came to the gave the speaker specific words just for you so when you come to a actual you become part of the sh it's not just attending like they go to baseball and football games and they have a lot of fun together is isad is is a chosen people that gives our superpowers if we just use it the right way such an extent that when you attend the Sho it's not like the G attend a football game when you attend the sh you become part of the reason the speaker is going to say certain things now one idea that I did have that I'm sure is going to give you guys some thoughts some negative some positive is a question the question is how much if actually you know what two questions first question everyone obviously has heard about the Holocaust even though this generation doesn't know very much about the Holocaust we still have people that understand what the Holocaust is how many people here know somebody that either survived or unfortunately passed in the Holocaust why raise your hands quite a few people okay okay so now if you had a chance to save that one person had a chance to save any of you even if it's not somebody you know how much would you pay for it assuming numbers knows no matter you have all the money in the world you're like I don't know Bezos from Amazon $130 billion just gotten cut in half from a divorce no how much would you pay to save one Jewish Nish how much give me a price a million dollar $2 million $5 how much is a Jewish Nisha worth Priceless okay so if somebody told you give me $10 million save one Jewish Nisha you're paying it or no if somebody said give me $1 million not $10 million $1 million see one Jewish n save it or no what if I told you we could have saved a million a million for $2 million meaning $2 a body would you pay unfortunately some people didn't pay there's a book a very disturbing one I don't read very much uh secular books unless they have something to do with am that's for the sake of chuva it's a very disturbing book I've been reading and this book is called 51 documents 51 documents about the Zion Zionist collaboration with the Nazis and it's different letters that the founders of Zionism if you will how they are not exactly what a lot of people think I mean people that like Israel think that if you like Israel you have to be Zionist the reality is if you actually learn about some of these zionists you realize that if you like Israel and you like Jews you're supposed to be anti- Zionist and the reason why is because the founders of Zionism Wen exactly what the Picture Tells one example is the fact that Herzel was a uh still to this day celebrated as a leader what a lot of people don't know is that in his personal Journal he has his letters that he had with the Pope and in one of the letters to the pope he said that his solution to anti-Semitism is to do to the rest of the Jews what he did with his son which is not to circumcise them and to convert him to Christianity because that's what her say that was his belief he says you want to eliminate anti-Semitism eliminate the Jews no more Jews this is the Jewish leader now you ask an average college student University student in Israel about H he won't tell you this because you don't they don't teach this in school I took uh classes in University here in America and big up the university by Zionism and I promise you they didn't tell us this stuff now now one of the other things they didn't tell us is that some of these Nazis had a price and at one point a um one of the uh generals over there told us that he's willing to sell 25,000 Hungarian Jews for $50,000 and in this letter that uh exposed this by Dr rno kazner apparently those 25,000 students those 25,000 Jews weren't saved they didn't want to come up with the money $2 was too much now when if this wasn't enough there was also a guy by name of of yel brand it's a very famous story you look up on Wikipedia Google who y brand is Yol brand negotiated a deal with the Nazis to try to save $1 million Jews Nazi says okay we'll give you 1 million Jews 10,000 trucks that's what we want value whatever truck you value every truck let's say at uh whatever $5,000 should be a decent price for a bunch of Jews no when he tried to do it his own Zionist teammates sabotaged him and threw him into jail until the war was over over and until those million people were dead now you ask yourself why would one Jewish person do this to another Jewish person that's because one of the things that the Torah teaches us is that Judaism is not just something you're born into Judaism is something you must practice if you're born to a Jewish mother that's good you're a very lucky person but that doesn't make you a Jewish person by default meaning that you're going to die Jewish you're a Jewish but if you do not follow what the rest of the book that says that you're Jewish says your Judaism is put on suspension if a person reads the Torah he quickly understands that a didn't invent Judaism from day one meaning he didn't make Jewish people abah ainu was not a Jew he was a no and the reason why is because Judaism was created at the time of Mount saai that's when we became Jews what changed at Mount sa the only thing that changed is we got a book we got a SE T we got a written T we got oral Tora we got the Ten Commandments that's what we see in tells tells what are the things we got Mount we got a written Tor we got a oral Torah which is the the and so on and we got a Ten Commandments if you follow these rules good if you don't follow these rules not so good that's why the rambam wrote 900 years ago that there are 13 foundational beliefs that a Jew must have in order for him to be practicing his Judaism meaning he could wear a keepa or not wear a keepa he could uh you know wear black shoes or not wear black shoes wear a stral not wear a stral wear a beard not have a beard that that doesn't make you Jewish there's plenty of Osama bin ladin in the world with a beard beards grow for free the keeper there's so many people that are not Jewish that cover their head that doesn't necessarily make you Jewish you should do it if you're a Jew but nonetheless it doesn't make you Jewish says if you follow these basic principles you're practicing your Judaism now one of those things is reward is the knowledge and understanding of reward and Punishment meaning every Jew must believe that there is a reward and there's a punishment for every act that we do the fact that you're sitting here for every second that you here you're getting a reward why because we're learning Torah we're not talking about baseball or basketball we're talking about Torah every second year you're making you're getting a Mitzvah every Mitzvah you make you create an angel that angel is going to help you in your life if a person eats kosher food if he did a he created that's another Mitzvah if he said that's another Mitzvah If tomorrow he goes for me he pray that's another mitvah if he does it's more if he does business in a koser way it's another mitvah and so on and so forth every time a person does does the opposite he eats like the go eat whatever is in front of him he eats doesn't matter if it walks it doesn't walk you know the Chinese people they they eat whatever walks doesn't walk as long as it's uh something that's soft they eat it that's why by the way that's why wasn't Chinese that's how we know if he was Chinese he'd eat the snake and ruin the whole story but the reality is if we eat like go meaning every time whatever is in front of us we eat kosher not Kosher no there's no mitvah there it's the opposite it's a sin soem says if you're making a sin you do the opposite the opposite effect every Jew has to believe this there is no such thing as a person being a criminal without a punishment so then you're going to ask wait a minute but how come there's so many people driving on Shabbat even though Hashem says no fire on Shabbat and one of my students that's a engineer he say is that every time you press the gas pedal every time you press the gas pedal it's any depending on how fast you're going it's anywhere between three to 60 3,000 to 6,500 fires just pressing the gas pedal not talking about driving three four five miles you press the gas pedal it's between lighting 3,000 to 6,000 fires you drove for 15 minutes by the time you got the shol driving on Shabbat you probably made somewhere in neigh of a million a unfortunately in Florida we have an epidemic a lot of people think it's a bigger Mitzvah to go to sh than to keep Shabbat so they drive to sh on Shabbat there's no bigger mistake than that one of the beautiful things I saw about the that's into the is right in your parking lot you say this parking lot is closed on Shabbat I need you guys to lend me some of those signs I can put them in Florida because apparently they don't have the knowledge of this a lot of people drive on Shabbat there is a very big problem in the world today because people think that it's a bigger obligation to go to sh than to keep Shabbat Hashem says otherwise now what's the big deal of keeping Shabbat shabb is one of the things that calls the breit meaning this is the deal this is the Covenant if a Jew keep Shabbat says I'm going to give you blessings a Jew doesn't keep Shabbat says your Judaism is now put on suspension what does it mean your Judaism is on suspension every time there's 12 times in the Tor that men Shabbat 12 times every single time he mentioned Shabbat keeping it or violating it right next to it you could test me you could check it out yourself right next to it he talks about idol worship meaning keep Shabbat get blessing don't keep Shabbat he says M all types of horrible things death penalty shorter life no all types of things but then right next to it the very next verse usually he says by by the way idol worship is also bad praying to some statue praying to Yos like the Christians praying to some Rabbi that died praying to anything but a that's also horrible so the come and he say why is this always next to it says because says if a person keep Shabbat he's fulfilling the Torah if he violate Shabbat he's like an idol worshipper that's why the ramb writes in Shabbat Chapter 30 last he says a Jew that violates Shabbat on purpose is considered 100% an idol worshiper yeah but I love Hashem how do you love hem if you're cheating on him every Shabbat it's like saying to your wife H I love you but what do you think about my girlfriend it doesn't work AOS says this Shabbat this is the breit this is the deal this is the deal you keep Shabbat we're in a good terms you don't keep Shabbat we have bad it's not good you're cheating on me says so that means that if a Jew a Jew can live a life 30 40 50 60 70 years thinking he's going to geden because he gives because he uh you know he helps people he's a very nice guy he doesn't murder anybody at least no one knows about it he does all types of things but he doesn't keep Shabbat he goes up to Sham after 120 they say I'm sorry uh you were very nice to people but you were very very bad to God the judgment is not favorable why there's reward and Punishment you got the reward for all the good things that you did in the world that you lived in but now that you will really B to God unfortunately there's an outcome for it now unfortunately right now the very basic knowledge that I just gave you is unknown by nearly 80% of Cl is in the world now even though what I just told you is basic alif bit of Judaism this is what your five or six year-old is supposed to learn this is what we were all supposed to learn at 5 six years old not at 20 not at 30 this is 5 years old he supposed to learn this that Shabbat is the this is foundation without it there's no Judaism minimized himself in order to create Shabbat he didn't need seven days to create the world he didn't need six days he didn't need five days he didn't need anything in reality created everything in an instant but he spread out the creation over six days in order to stop creating because that's the only thing that you could also do you can't create anything you all may be talented you all may be wonderful you all may be very very smart but you cannot create a thing why you can innovate you cannot create no one can create in a world other than we could innovate we could take a seed and turn it into a human by using the system that created we could take money and we can buy something with it we could take an idea that puts in our head and we could use it for something but we cannot create anything is the only thing that can create so says now since you cannot create but I can what can we have in common what can we do in common oh so you know what there going to be one day that I also don't create Shabbat I created the world in six days I spread Shabbat over I spread all the creation over six days on the first day I put sh second day Third Day fourth day fifth day sixth day on the seventh day I'm not creating why cuz that's the one thing that we can do in common that's how you know you're my son you're my daughter we have something in common in essence created the whole world for you created Shabbat just for you so when a person doesn't keep it Hashem says you're cheating on me you're violating the Covenant and that's why it's very important for am to know this basic stuff because if 80% of am does not know this because they're not keeping Shabbat that means that there's something missing something critical that's missing now at the time of the Holocaust many people were in a similar situation like we are today anyone that studies the Holocaust a little bit will see that it's almost identical with the exception of iPhones and iPods everything else was the same into marriage before the Holocaust in certain parts of the world especially Germany was over 80% inter marriage in America which is the modern day Germany is over 80% that means that eight out of every 10 Jews in America we have six million Jews in America give or take eight out of every 10 are marrying non-jews now that means if things continue they continue marrying go we are one generation away from simply not having Jews when someone asks SK where was God during a holocaust the honest Torah answer is he did it that's the answer how do we know he did it he said he's gonna do it he said in he said he said he said in if we don't do certain things he'll punish us but specifically things like into marriage Shabbat things of that nature he says the punishment is very very heavy to such an extent that he gives you details of what happens if we don't take him seriously he says you treat me with casualness you don't care about what I say I'm going to treat you with casualness when the G start anti-Semitism for no reason like AEM is happened in New York just a couple of months ago one day bunch of people decided to start killing Jews for no reason this was a warning shot this is not like something like oh it happened it went away it's quiet now no this is a warning is talking to us very carefully why he's trying to get our attention because he doesn't want to bring another Holocaust but the Holocaust happened because we didn't take the the warning shot seriously he sent us a b bunch of warning shots for a long period of time we didn't take it seriously so who says listen if I let you continue acting like gim continue violating Shabbat continue uh the the inter marriage continue dishonesty continue charging people interest that's absurd like what's happening in the merchant cash advance business today is people are just completely robbing people blind thinking it's permitted because it's go oh no I'm only charging him 50% Rabbi only 50% I'm like oh so you're only taking half of his life not the whole thing you only murdering half of him no but Rabbi he's a I said it's worse if he's a no I thought Rabbi that you're only are you're allowed to charge a go interest I said who told you this doesn't it say it somewhere in a book I said you you're relying your whole is relying on something you never saw in a book you have a whole business every day you're lending people money because somebody told you you're allowed to do it now you know if you're wrong if you're wrong about this doesn't matter if you keep Shabbat doesn't matter if you do everything else right if you're wrong about this one thing you have no you're finished you go up to Sham and say okay yeah you go to the hot place why but I kept Shabbat yeah we'll set off the fire on Shabbat you kept Shabbat we shut off the fire on Shabbat yeah but somebody told me did you see it in a book no but somebody told me I'm sorry if a person makes a mistake because he didn't study doesn't count it as a mistake he counts it as if he did it on purpose why you didn't study t on purpose you cannot just say I didn't know you can't go up to Sham is hm's gave you 70 80 90 years say I didn't know okay did you not know because you didn't get to it yet you studied everything else except this or you didn't know because you just didn't feel like studying if you didn't feel like studying then that means you didn't know on purpose because for your business you studied for 20 years for your law degree you studied for 20 years for to learn how to be a good Jeweler a good uh doctor a good anything else you studied for a long time so how come he didn't learn how to be a Jew how come you didn't learn for that oh you didn't care okay she didn't care on purpose so now you're in a business that's not Kosher and you're relying on someone said that's kosher but did you see it no so you're relying on heray you're relying on some other body somebody else's words so if somebody told you listen uh um sir uh I don't know your name but I think your wife is is cheating on you you're just going to take his word or you going to check it out or you just going to divorce her right away oh listen uh I think your son yeah I think your son is trying to kill you you're just going to take his word because he just told you your son is trying to kill you you're gon to check it out like somebody tells you something shocking you're just gonna accept it you're G to check it out in anytime you have a the rabbi is supposed to provide you sources what book it's from where is it from why this is shows us this this comes what he just said comes from Mount saai not his opinion we don't care about anybody's opinion in Judaism we care about Mount sa that's the source Mount Si is when we met God in public millions and millions of people if what someone says doesn't come from Mount saai doesn't really have much value it's an opinion next week it's going to change one day he likes blue next day he likes green people's opinions change every day God doesn't change so if you're going to be in a business that is assuming you're allowed to do something you have to check it out now when it comes to lending a person needs to know that even lending money to go with charging interest is not so P it's not so simple meaning you cannot just charge him whatever you want and you cannot even charge him interest just because of that and a lot of people don't know this and they just assume they could do whatever they want and they don't realize that it's actually what they're doing is a worse sin is a worse sin than lending to to Jews with interest and the reason why is because if you cheat a Jew you cheat one Jew shom that Jew is gonna say you're a bad guy you're a bad girl I don't like you why you cheated me now if you cheat a non-jew what does the non-jew say ah all Jews are bad it's not just you anymore everybody's bad and that's called that's called we just desecrated aem's name that's much worse than him just saying you're a bad person so when we do something bad to Gim it's much much worse than doing something bad to Jews that doesn't mean we should do bad something bad to Jews but the point being here is that we have an entire industry that's been built over the last 15 20 years called cash advance merchant cash advance that's predominantly led by Jewish people many of them pretend to be religious that they because they have you know religious clothes on uh and and the beard that grows for free and the reality is that they are doing the same thing that we did in almost every generation that had a disaster if anyone ever read mine from Hitler Hitler tells the world why he hates Jews he says the Jews created communism the Jews of that time were Communists they hated religion they hated Torah they hated God so so they created something called communism Hitler thought of himself as a god believer he thought of himself as someone religious even though he murdered millions of people he justified it based on his demented ideology that's what Christianity has been doing for 2,000 years but the point is one of the reasons why he hated Jews was because they were anti-god but another reason that he sold to the people that he said you hate Jews also even if you don't care if they're religious or not is because Jews are taking it advantage of you and people said how says the Jews are the ones that are in control of all of the banks that are lending you with high interest and everybody said yes why because it was true the Jews destroyed the economy in in in Germany by simply lending money with high interest people that cannot meet this demand the business is not growing as high as they thought it was going to grow ended up closing down shop and saying listen I'm defaulting and declare bankruptcy I have to start all over but now they found out oh the guy that's did all of this to me not he's not blaming himself he has to blame somebody else oh it was the Jewish guy when Hitler says yeah all of the lending is from the Jews everybody joined him overnight a loser named Hitler that never had anything significant of of meaning became a world leader that's very powerful why says you didn't listen to the warnings now he has a message 500 years before that in Spain the same thing happened 900 years in England it happened 1186 the Jewish people were doing really well financially primary business lending money ignoring the Torah rules one day the leader of the the place goes on vacation they go to decide to start Mass murdering Jewish people in the streets why we're tired of paying you interest we're tired of doing this is repeating the same story over and over again this is why 3,000 years ago says it's not allowed to lend people money with interest even if they're not Jewish so now that means that where is this leniency to lend Jew non-jews money with interest comes from it comes from the it comes from a few that say it's only allowed if the person is a meaning he studies to all day he studies to all day so he doesn't have time to go work on wall Street or work on Diamond District or work construction because he learns to all day but he needs to make a living so he has a little bit of money his parents gave him or some people gave him he could lend it to some charge him just enough money to make a living he needs 2,000 3,000 a month that's all he's allowed to make meaning you're not allowed to become wealthy off of this money which is the opposite of what's happening this is an industry that has grown so big that in just the last five or six years there's been at least a half a dozen companies that have become public companies billion dollar companies from Simply doing a business that's destroying the economy and if that's not bad enough just to show you how bad it is everyone knows that the uh the mob the mafia their primary business was lending money for years for all of generations that's what the Italians did that's what they did you didn't have money from the bank nobody was able to lend you you go to the uh Tony from the mafia he says how much do you want I want 100,000 okay 100,000 30 points a week pretty much by the time you paid him back the loan you gave him also two lungs too or he took him out of you one way or the other he's getting his money back this business of merchant cash advance business is so horrible the mafia shut down they don't lend money in the streets anymore you know how they lend money they also open merchant cash advanced businesses why there's more money there legally if the mafia is your cooworker that already gives you enough of an understanding it's not a good business gave us warning signs when we don't follow them problems happened now I'm sure you guys have in this beautiful you have a mid mid is we have the Ten Commandments under the Commandment don't steal the mid says what happens if we steal Hashem says if stealing becomes allow meaning dishonest business no one cares anymore no you need to be dishonest why you need to get ahead people confuse ambition with a uh with uh that something that you need to uh to get ahead they think that just because you're you're ambitious that means you're allowed to cheat also soem says once the stealing becomes allowed meaning the government allows it people allow it no one says anything not the rabbis not the students not anyone everybody's quiet while pretty much you're doing things that are illegal says I bring famine to the world meaning everybody loses in the end that's what the mid says says person that steals he gets his own individual punishment but if people start stealing in large quantities the mid says Hashem brings famine to the world how could famine come to the world everybody's making money it's the opposite you're seeing people that are in that business and other business that are une ethical that are making a fortune how could all of a sudden famine come to the world now when I was a kid if anyone did anything wrong the whole block knew it if somebody Smoked Cigarettes parents said don't hang out with this kid why he smoked cigarettes today everybody smokes 9year old 10 year old 11y old doesn't people don't think much of it if someone was divorced someone was divorced on the block people will say no don't hang out with him why his parents are divorced it's not good everybody knew he's divorced it wasn't like uh it wasn't so popular today today it's like a good thing to be divorced it's like a Mitzvah people are like no I'm committing a Rabbi get I gave a get it's Mitzvah no people don't understand that divorce is is not exactly a Mitzvah that we're supposed to fulfill but unfortunately people are doing it especially in the secular World in a secular world you have a better chance of winning the lot than staying married married past five years but if somebody was divorced everyone knew it now why is there so much divorce today why is there so much consumption of drugs today because we live a life that's immoral we live a life where we share our business with the world you have all types of TV shows where people pretty much sell the most sensitive details of their life how their body looks even without clothes on what they do in their private life what they do in their marriage what they do when they cheat on their marriage what they have done what they're going to do people shared their entire life just for for a few dollars so much so that in the middle of the street you see people doing their business and no one says a thing we live a life that's the opposite of what says says you be holy because I am Holy what is it mean to be holy holy Holiness starts with the way we treat ourselves as far as modesty as far as promiscuity as far as how we treat ourselves whether we are moral people or not meaning whether we're sharing our business with the world or we're keeping part of our life private now in the Torah you're going to see that a righteous person like for example Noah or YF are called sadik a righteous Jew a male righteous Jew is called a sadik but you're never going to see in a t a woman called sadik that word exists but you're not going to see it in the Torah you're not going to see sad was aik or you're not going to see that you're not going to see anywhere in the Torah what are you going to see anytime hasem wants to give a woman a compliment in the Torah what does he say modest she is modest meaning that if she's not modest there's no way for her to beik and that's why the second page beginning of the says if a person is righteous if he is a sadik is gonna send him a modest woman if he's a rash if he's a wicked person hasem is going to send him an imod woman a so Rashi says how come it's imod and modest one to say if he's righteous he'll get righteous if he's wicked he gets Wicked if he's sadik gets sadika if he rash gets how come it's what's the modest do have to do with the with the wicked what's going on Rashi says if she's modest then she's much more likely to be righteous much more likely to be sadika not 100% but much more likely but if she's not modest there's zero chance of her being righteous zero no chance in the world why because every time she walks around immodestly other look at her and start pretending in their head that they're our husband meaning she leads them to start thinking things that are in appropriate she's leading them to sin she's leading them to all types of thoughts that are not good those thoughts only belong to her husband she's not married okay she has to wait till she gets married every time a woman woman walks around immodestly she's creating Sins Not only for herself but for other people why is this so common in the world today why is every woman in the world today almost walking around with our entire business showing it's almost like they think the less clothes they have the more the better they look even if they're 500 lb they think that they uh they they don't doesn't matter if you have clothes no be you see certain people they they they they they classifi to be in a zoo but they walk around with no clothes on just like the zoo how come because we've gone so confused in a situation we think that less cloth means pretty you're never going to see the Queen of England walking around with a uh a bathing suit never why she treats herself like a queen but a is that really is a queen unfortunately sometimes walks around like not so much a queen how come confused lack of knowledge of the law living an immoral life living a life without understanding what is expecting us from Hashem now when people live such a life and they go do all types of things such as promiscuity every other day there's a new wife every other day there's a new husband night clubs mix dancing all of these different things that Hashem says he hates them this leads to problem number two in the same mid when talks about morality he says if a person lives an immoral life Hashem brings a plague to the world but people have been living an immoral life for a while in the last 40 years fast has changed dramatically if you look at pictures of your great-grandparents early 1900s whether they were Jewish or not Jewish they were modest even the go would cover their hair the women even the go I one time went to a government building to get a passport in Florida and they have you know in Florida they have all these pictures on the walls in his government buildings and you see pictures of I am assuming non-jewish people on a beach a bunch of non-jewish people sitting on a beach they were all wearing dresses more modest than some of theot in the world today covering their hair dresses bigger than their body that's how they were going to the beach I wish people walked in the street like this today but this was go needless to say how Jews were today it's the opposite less clothes the better people think so this type of Life says when people act like this they're immodest they think immodest they watch things that are immodest on television on the internet they speak immodestly they curse all types of things that are against Hashem Hashem says if it becomes a on a massive scale then the individual issues the individual punishments that people get are no longer enough what is he bring he brings plagues epidemics if you notice the last 20 years we've had quite a few we had SARS in 2003 I believe SARS was a miracle why it was supposed to destroy the world there was no cure if you touch somebody that had it that's F finished it wasn't like AIDS from the 80s where you have to do something in order to AIDS you have to do something but SARS you have to do anything you're in an elevator the next guy next to you has something that's it finished he gave you a handshake hey how are you how are you finished there was no cure started killing people like flies then disappeared Hashem made a miracle disappeared then we had another one MMR I think it was called or something else a few years later 2013 also Miracle now we have Corona Corona is worse than anything we've ever seen in the world reason not only there's no cure you don't need to touch the person a you have to do something SARS you have to touch the guy at least hold his hand you know a few hours after finish either way those viruses died after a few days meaning if he touch something after two days that's it even if he touched it it's the virus dies with Corona they found that that they if someone touched something 9 days later the virus is still alive there's no cure and you don't have to touch anything you just have to be in the same room as some of these people that means based on some basic calculations that some mathematicians put up together months without a miracle every person in the world has this disease now I have no doubt in my mind that aosh is gonna make a miracle and we're all going to be okay if we do chuba if we do something about it if we take the sign seriously because right now this mid from from last two weeks ago gave us the answer you see if the immorality sexual immorality becomes adamant everybody starts acting like they're zoo animals walking around like zoo animals and that becomes the normal thing says I'm going to bring a plague but also if stealing if stealing also becomes normal also becomes uh a a thing that people do and no one says anything I'm going to also bring famine how do the two connect if you noticed the places like Italy China Iran all of these other places any pictures if you see on the internet what do you see immediately after somebody was caught with something in Iran in Italy immediately like within a day of somebody was found with this disease all of the supermarkets empty everybody goes to the stores empties out the shelves no more food if they find one person shalom in America two people three people Five People You have 400 million people here it's not that not that hard to get five people 10 people that have it supermarkets are not going to have any food stocking up is not going to help anybody people think oh no I'm going to stock up I'm going to buy a bunch of food I'm going to go on Amazon buy every cookie they have that's not going to help you why this is a from this is a decree from meaning us stocking up us buying guns us buying cookies all that stuff is not going to help us why that's materialism runs the world he doesn't want us to buy cookies that's not the way to do cha he wants us to do chuba he wants us to start changing certain things he wants us to change certain things if we're not keeping Shabbat start keeping Shabbat if we're not modest put some clothes on if we're not honest in our business start being honest if we're not learning how are you doing anything right every Jewish person must learn a little bit every day there's no exceptions doesn't matter how busy you are now in the beginning when I first started learning it was very difficult for me number one I was very sick for anyone who doesn't know my story there's flyers in the uh in the lobby over there with a uh a QRC code on the back of them if you put your phone on top of it to read the QRC code exactly that's what he has in his hand you look at the QRC code it goes directly to the movie about my personal life and why I do what I do today I used to be on Wall Street I used to make millions and millions of dollars lost every single penny and almost my life now it's a fantastic story I don't want to go over today because there's other things to learn and there the movies available already but the point is is that when I first started learning it was very difficult number one I was very sick I was fighting for my life I was in pain 24 hours was a day no break I was in a hospital every single month my brother God bless him he's over there he used to see me in the hospital come visit me all the time why right there you see him he used to see me in the hospital all the time everybody looked at me it was uncomfortable to look at me why every few minutes I'd start screaming because I was in pain all the time it was a nightmare a nightmare not just for me but for anyone that was watching me nightmare but that was my life bash why do I say bash because my life was the opposite of what God decreed for me so once I started learning Torah it was hard why it was the opposite of what I was used to I was used to looking a Wall Street reports and Company financials and how to make money and businesses and so on and now all of a sudden I'm dealing with holy things I have no idea how to do it I have no idea what I'm talking about no idea so five minutes I'd fall asleep I'd start reading it fall asleep after five minutes listen to sh five minutes fall asleep but I knew this is the cure and I continued going a little by little five minutes became 10 minutes and then 10 minutes became 15 minutes and 15 minutes became an hour and two hours and 10 hours and so on and so forth so when I first started I made a commitment 15 minutes a day no less hopefully more but no less than 15 minutes that means nobody has an excuse if I can start changing my life with 15 minutes a day for sure everybody here can do it also now if you're already learning an hour two hours a day that means you have to increase it what but he's only doing 15 minutes yes he's beginning level you're not beginning level you also need a miracle that means you have to increase too everybody has to do more the rabbis have to do more the learn theim have to do more the ran have to do more the wives have to do everybody has to do more why because we right now need a miracle that's the only that's we are relying on a miracle now we can't just rely on a miracle for no reason we have to earn it so that means we have to C change certain things so every person can start learning a little bit now sometimes reading a book is difficult because you haven't read a book in 20 30 years since school so made it easy he created YouTube you go to YouTube you type Inon you'll see somewhere neighborhood of 2,000 sh pick one press play have a good time that's it you just press play listen don't play with your phone while you're watching the Sho don't work while you're watching watch the Sho 15 minutes straight you could do more do more but the point is watch the sh don't make it into background music watch the sh write down some notes take it into memory try to apply it this is necessary if you don't learn to you're not going to know how to be a Jew you're not going to know how to be a Jew now who's this required from every Jew that's alive whether you're religious not religious you know a lot of T you don't know a lot of tah everybody's required why because is rebuking all of us right now all of us are in a situation where all of us have to do something more now another thing that we have to do is that sometimes you get used to something like for example sometimes when you when you first get married how excited are you oh honey how are you I missed you so much hugs kisses like you haven't seen him in 10 years you just went to the store 15 minutes ago oh I miss you H now after a couple years the guy comes home he's like oh you're home yeah I've been home for three hours oh okay hi you get used to it why you're used to it already you're already married for a few years you're used to it that's not good by the way sometimes if you do with a marriage your wife is willing to tolerate it your husband's willing to tolerate it not so much we pray as Jews we pray three times a day no less supposed to pray more but we pray three times a day but sometimes we get so used to praying it's hard for us to have kavana why because we're used to it same thing same thing okay okay you get used to it it becomes like a robot even more so average person goes to the bathroom six to eight times a day you go 6 to eight times a day you say it's like you know by heart you forgot what you even said you started you finished oh well you're so used to it so also wants to make it easy how you make it easy read it from the book don't do it from memory they asked the how come you still read from the even a six-year-old boy knows of thy heart how come the biggest Rabbi in the world is reading it from a sidu he says if I read it from s do then I know I'm gonna have kavana because I'm going to look at the words I'm going to think about the words what did they mean why is hasem picking this word why is hasm picking that word and that's going to help me have kavana when I do it out of memory I get used to it so we brought you AAR posters in the back put it on your walls and instead of doing it for memory look at it with the as both sides one side isi one side is a and if you're something else then I can't help you but uh pick one of the sides that's it uh but the point is you look at the say the and know that this is a special if you have you'll see some of the things that are written around it different whether it was the prophet job or was the Ben or from over there still alive different spoke about anyone that says the blessing of with 100% on a regular basis is guaranteed to have now if you do it sometimes yes sometimes no then sometimes we don't feel good sometimes we feel good meaning it's measure for measure sometimes yes sometimes no okay so says sometimes you have a cold sometimes you don't have a cold but if you make sure that every time you're looking at this blessing you have kavana you think about the words you think about what you're actually saying that there's every hole in your body is only open at the right time and if it's not if it's open at the wrong time then it's it's a problem and every closing stays closed because if it's open that's also a life risk you think about how your body works why it doesn't matter what you eat whether it's an apple or it's a steak it all turns to blood and if it doesn't turn to blood it turns into waste that leaves your body who told the steak to turn into blood who told the Apple to turn into blood who told the candy little jelly beans that you ate from the kosher market to turn into blood how come it all turns to blood doesn't matter what you eat turns to blood or it turns to waste this is a miracle and the reality is if you really think about how come you're able to turn the steak into blood and have all of these acids in your stomach to destroy the steak and turn it into blood and the rest of it into waste how come the stomach doesn't eat itself stomach's also meat how come the stomach doesn't eat itself how come it doesn't start eating some lungs maybe a little sandwich from lungs how come it really does actually but a created your stomach in such a unique way that scientists discovered that the stomach regenerates cells faster than it destroys them what's an ulcer when that mechanism stops working properly when the destruction is a little faster than the Regeneration you start creating holes in the stomach that's ulcers so that means that right now we don't have any ulcers that's a miracle why because if you eat a steak the steak's gone but the stomach's here if a person thinks about this every time he goes to the bathroom that he sees realizes that this is a whole Miracle the fact that was able to leave go to the bathroom without screaming my lungs out is a miracle that should have kavana now sometimes we get used to this blessing we get used to the miracle so we read it we remind ourselves these are different small things a person can do same thing with learning learning Tora I brought you CDs there's a hundreds of CDs over there it's the uh beginning of a series we called there a somewhere in the neighborhood of maybe 80 hours worth of sh on those CDs two CDs once you learn those first uh 30 shim you have another 140 from that particular series that series goes over pretty much different aspects of Judaism different things that will help your life your marriage your business different things like we're talking today but every sh is very different so already over there you have 80 80 hours worth of sh point is this makes your learning something that you could do anywhere you could do it at home you could do it in your car you could do it anywhere you are is making it easy for us so much so that won't have any excuse now over the next couple of days we're going to publish a interview that uh raim kakon my rabbi's father he was interviewed by an organization called hiut and the reason why he was interviewed is because there was a there was a boy that had um uh what was it called a uh uh not autism um Down syndrome thank you had Down syndrome now Down syndrome anyone that knows someone that has Down syndrome or since seen someone has Down syndrome it's not a normal thing it's not a it's a very very severe situation now most people in America that have Down syndrome they usually don't improve very much whatever they are they stay in essence what they are there's not much of a recovery system for them and the system for people that have Down syndrome or any type of mental deficiency in the world today is that if he has Down syndrome we're going to put him in a class full of people that have Down syndrome if he has autism we're going to put him in a class that has a bunch of people that are just like him the Tora says opposite K has next to him a kid who now no longer kid he's already almost 20 years old now who was born with Down Syndrome but I'm not talking about a light case of down syndrome his own mother is next to him his adopted mother is next to him she adopted him with it she says when I first saw this boy his tongue was hanging out of his out of his mouth he was completely disheveled like the worst case you could possibly see why is he in this interview because when she brought him to raon ra Kon understood the situation you don't have to be a genius you see it said okay bring him to a he's going to sit next to everybody else learn T and over the last few years this young man has gone to the point where he's almost completed the entire talmud B he's almost completed the entire sh in the interview he speaks normal his face looks almost normal in comparison to what he used to be sh why the Torah is the cure for everything so when they ask how come you did this which is the opposite of what normal medicine is he says normal medicine is from people people have no idea what they're talking about they're using their logic they're saying if he has Down syndrome then you should go with other down syndrome people the problem is if he's only going to be next to people that are just like him that's who he has to look up to that's who he has to compete against he's going to be just like them but if he is going to be surrounded by a bunch of people that are learning tah people that are much higher than them and he's going to learn from them he's going to try to be like them and little by little he becomes even better this is the opposite of what traditional medicine teaches the opposite same thing with prison cells today somebody makes a petty crime or somebody makes a a big crime kill somebody sometimes they go to the same gel sometimes they go to the same prison now what do prisons do in the world they make criminals even bigger criminals why because they're surrounded by a bunch of other criminals so the guy that came in for stealing by the time he left he's already knows how to murder too the guy that murdered somebody by the time he left he knows how to rape he knows how to steal he knows how to do a bunch of other things why that was his that was his friends in Judaism there's no such to says there's no prison prison is just a place that they keep somebody before they kill him but that's only if he violated something significant if someone stole according to the Torah he has to become a slave who does he have to work for he has to work for a sadik why learn how to be a sadik learn from him meaning that we we don't have a prison system we have a rehabilitation system so we see that the rules of the Torah work better unfortunately they're not popular so much in the world but that's also because we ourselves don't know them if we start learning them and we start seeing how we could apply these rules into the world we live in to the best of our ability little by little we're changing our own life we're changing our own environment in the old times the way way people would get married is doing a shid system the father would have a son the another father has a daughter okay why don't we introduce to two people see if they get along see if they could talk after a few meetings finished guess what the divorce rate was almost zero in the really religious communities in the world the divorce rate is almost zero even to this day if you hear about a divorce in the religious communities is not very common but it exists Unfortunately today but not very much one two three 4% in non-religious World some places over an 80% 85% divorce rates meaning you have a better chance of winning the lotto than staying married in the secular world and now it's gotten to the point where the people that kids look up to are celebrities I went to Yesa a few times and I asked the boys how many of you want to be like m not a single kid raised his hand I asked him how many of you want to be like LeBron James I said he's a basketball star everybody already raised their hand they already knew who LeBron James I thought they were supposed to know because they Yesa kids they all know they knew better than me everybody raised their hand they said oh so everybody wants to be basketball but nobody wants to be M this isn't the not one not two not three not four why because that's the role model why is it their role model cuz Apparently one of their parents also likes him likes him enough to let the kid watch it that's their role model that's what they look up to people young kids whether they're religious or not religious are looking up to celebrities they want to be like celebrities why because a celebrity has like a movie lifestyle everything looks good but that's like Facebook people put their life on Facebook but they only put the good parts of their life like that one moment someone took a picture it looks great five seconds later they got a divorce though you know they get a family picture they don't show you that right before the family picture the wife said to the husband I don't want to be with you anymore or the husband said to the wife listen uh I think we should talk or the kids were saying ABA listen uh I have a secret to tell you I'm really I want to be a girl they don't have that they tell you a fake picture they just show you a picture on the internet they show you their food like why do I care what you ate people show each other their food why it's fake it's fake life look I'm having a good time I I have a good stake that's why it's a good life it's all fake News why because that's our role models we look at their life the celebrities of the world their fake life now the problem is when you look at their fake life what are you trying to do you emulate them guess what celebrities you're not a celebrity unless you got divorced four times you cannot be a celebrity unless you got divorced a few times that's normal in their life getting divorce three four five six times it's noal oh no he's only on a third marriage he's only in the third one another two or three then I'll settle down marriage is turned into dating that's not am cannot live like the cannot make the mistake of thinking that the have it better than us it's the opposite now the only way that we can do that is if we start learning from the books and not from the television screen if we start learning what Hashem said what our sages said and not what celebrities said the only way to do that is by censoring ourself now Tor says that at times a person is going to have such yet that that yet that evil inclination is going to try to interfere with everything he does especially when he tries to do CH especially when he tries to change his life it's a famous story of uh young boy named schlomo now schlomo was from a place called scho and schlomo was in a family religious family almost everybody was religious in that in that time but schlomo was like a mini terrorist anyone he saw he looked for a way to terrorize them if they had a cat he made sure that that cat knew how to fly if they had a dog that dog knew how to fly also if they had something new he made sure it didn't look new the day after he would break it for them he' do them a favor before they break it he broke it for them terrorized the whole town everybody was his victim now one day slomo is on the way to Yesa to terrorize his rabbis and there's two boys walking after him but they don't know that it's him and they're talking among each other they start fighting so one guy calls the other guy a name and the other guy says Ah you're like slowmo so the guy gets off he goes ah no come on now you took it too far you call me like slowmo ah come on no I'm not your friend anymore okay okay I'm sorry okay you're not like slowmo you're not like slowmo okay I'm sorry I'm sorry I took it too far it's like it was the worst curse in the world to be like slowmo so now schlomo hears this and he turns around says no I'm right here what's so bad about me why am I worse than than this curse that he said to you because ah no come on SLO you're like a m you're like a lost case nothing's going to be with you you terrorist you schlomo took this to heart he knew what he was but he never heard anybody else say it that day he didn't go to Yeshiva he went back home when he got home his father said to him what you uh that's it you killed your teachers that's finished you they got a heart attack today he goes no no ABA I have something to tell you says what says ABA I want to go to the best Yeshiva in the world I want to go to he's the I want to go learn in his his father starts laughing no what you want to terrorize the no enough problems already go go go back to no no AB I want to go to he goes son listen just to get into that Yesa you have to know 250 pages of the by heart he goes ABA I want to go he goes listen son you want to go why do you want to go why you want to terrorize the teachers over there they're good people he goes no ABA I want to learn really CU yeah I want to learn he goes okay I'll fall for it here's a couple of dollars here's a loaf of bread call go for it you know those days not like today those buses you go to school you come back go to school you go you're going I'll see you in a few years by seven eight years old you're already a grown man today he's 30 years old you're still living at home a little different so now schlomo goes on the train he gets gets thean he sees the biggest Rabbi in the world he says Rabbi I want to learn he says what do you know he says nothing so what makes you think you I'm going to accept you he goes because I want to learn because you want to learn he says yeah goes here here's a start learning opens the book starts learning and he's learning and he's learning everybody takes their break he's still learning everybody goes back he's still learning he's learning seriously usually he very strict with who he accepts in his Yesa he sees this a serious guy he lets him in he's in Yesa he's learning couple years pass once in a while the kids get letters from their parents he gets his first letter dear scho your father is sick it's time to come home and help your father by taking over the business so little learn some learn learn that one of the is to give honor to your parents right takes the letter comes to the rabbi thank you very much for teaching me I got to go what happened scho I got a letter from my IMA she told me that I have to come back because my father's sick so I just wanted to say goodbye to the Rabbi says to him sit down listen to me that letter put it in your put it in your drawer close the drawer and go back to learn yeah my parents goes don't worry about your parents go back to learning toah you trust me of course I trust you in my life you trust me go back to learning okay the rabbi knows about it also he also learned but apparently the Rabbi says no no right now it's more important for you to go back to learn to okay learn he went back to learning a couple of more years passed he gets another letter dear scho your mother died come for the funeral schlomo gets his stuff comes to the rabbi Rabbi listen I uh I got to go my my my mom died he sayso you trust me he say of course RAB I love you you're everything to Meo put the letter in the drawer go back to learning toah no questions asked already okay go back Rabbi says go back go back Rabbi also knows it's not first time it's not he goes back he starts learning to again a few more years passed he gets another letter dear scho the whole city burned down the whole city of SLO burned down please come help us Rabbi T go back to learning T you can't do anything the city burned go learn to you could do something there Rabbi says I do that's how it used to be by the way it wasn't like today where the Rabbi says we do the the opposite back then it was they actually listen to the rabbis Rabbi says I do he starts learning he learns for several more years 12 years straight he's learning nothing else but the book after 12 years a bunch of rabbis from scho come to say the head Rabbi of died we need a new Rabbi we need a big Rabbi because we're having a lot of problems in the city says I have not only a big Rabbi I have the biggest rabbi the world learning his name is what schlom the terror no no not he's the biggest Rabbi in the world they see him they ask him questions he gives them all types of insights they haven't heard since Mount saai no longer the same person someone unbelievable his face looks different his mid everything is different there as excited as can be to accept him now before he leaves to go be the biggest Rabbi in his in his hometown says to him scho listen when you get home don't be surprised if you see that the city didn't burn that your father is not sick and that your mom didn't die says what do you mean Rabbi he says none of those things happened says but Rabbi I got the letter from my from my parents because yes you got the letter it's true you got the letter but it's not true goes how does the rabbi know he says I checked you see your parents they weren't so happy you went to Yesa yet got into their head says how can we get him to come out of Yesa let's make up some lies let's make him feel bad the yet was doing everything possible cuz he saw if you stay in Yeshiva you're going to turn from schlomo the CRI Toom the biggest Rabbi in the world I have to stop this let's tell him the mother died let's tell him the city burned down let's tell him everything possible just get him out of there the yet Works in clever ways that's why the says the yet has seven names he really has more than seven names but what is thear trying to teach us the yet is going to come to us in different ways sometimes going to come as a friend sometimes you're going to come as a business partner sometimes you're going to come as a child sometimes you're going to come as a spouse some he's gonna come in different ways different colors different shades the only way to beat him Torah says is with which means that is GNA come to you in a million different ways and come to you in a business proposition listen no if you do business you can make more money if you make more money you can donate more money right you want to do right yeah of course okay so let's steal a little bit together but it's business it's not business it's still stealing still stealing the point is the is going to come to you with different masks on a person needs to know how to defend himself how will you know how to defend yourself by learning every day a little bit of learning every single day goes a very long way because that's the only way that a person is going to know how to deal with it now of course you can't stay at 15 minutes your whole life 15 minutes is this first grou grade after a little while you have to go to 30 minutes and after a little while go to an hour and eventually get to a point where it's a little bit more you can still work in the world you can still make your money you can still run your life but you have to learn a couple of hours a day especially if you're a guy you have to learn in the morning you have to learn at night what if I'm tired okay you're tired a lot of people do things when they're tired you have to look at learning to as if it's breathing without breathing you can't live without to you also can't live you can't live right now if a person looks at the Torah that way Everything Changes there was one time a mother that was trying to teach this to her son her husband died and she wanted her son to learn tah now she didn't have much money but she made sure to give every single penny she had to get her son the best Rabbi in the world to teach him every day best Rabbi she could afford she would borrow money she'd work extra jobs whatever she can and every son a little little son may what learned to one day the rabbi couldn't come he didn't feel good not that he didn't want to come he just didn't feel good and the son M said okay fine he didn't come okay we'll learn tomorrow after he said that he started seeing his mom cry hysterical she's crying like somebody died he's like Emma why you crying she goes because the rabbi is not here okay IMA we'll learn we learned yesterday yeah but the rabbi's not here today goes okay IMA we're gonna learn tomorrow she goes no my son you don't get the point the rabbi's not here today you're never going to get today again what was yesterday was yesterday tomorrow who knows if we're going to survive you're never going to get another opportunity to learn today cuz the rabbi is not here today and she started crying hysterical because today was the only thing she cared about now that young boy took that what she he didn't understand what's going on he's still a little kid he's just seeing his mom crying and it's not comfortable to see a mom cry but what he saw was engraved into his mind he remembered it forever when he started going to Yeshiva and and he started learning with other people he always remembered that his mom cried because he missed one day because the rabbi couldn't show because he had a stomach flu but that day was a big deal so he made sure to learn every day years passed he went beyond Yesa became a rabbi but still young one day he comes to the who was the biggest Rabbi in the world at that time and he says Rabbi I have an idea I see in Yeshiva that every time a guy finishes one page of gar he has like a little smile on his face like he just achieved something so why shouldn't we have an idea that every Jew should finish one page of gar every day and over seven and a half years he would finish the entire so all of could have that happiness all of am could have the knowledge too says genius idea but don't tell me only come to this event we're having in a few weeks all the biggest rabis in the world are coming to hear me speak instead of me speak he's almost 100 years old instead of me speak you speak but come 15 minutes late okay Rabbi do what I say little young 20-year-old May is going to follow the biggest Rabbi in the world advice he gets to the event all the rabbis are there they're waiting for the all of a sudden this young guy walks in 15 minutes late people are looking who's this that's late to hear the biggest Rabbi in the world but suddenly they see the standing up the old man a 100 years old he's standing up for this youngster he stood up we standing up everybody's standing up feel he must be important this person they're following everybody standing up now we want to hear what he says says to him come come come to the stage now everybody can't wait to hear maybe this ISU maybe this is maybe this is himself must know something he tells everybody listen to the idea of this young man and he tells everybody the same idea as he told the before it of course since the said listen to him everyone not only listened they liked it automatically before they heard it and everyone applied it and you know what happened about a month and a half ago almost a 100,000 Jews gathered in a stadium here in New York because almost 20,000 of them or 880,000 of them whatever big number it was completed that system of learning Dai learning one page of every single day and completing the entire sh every seven years now at some point his friend had a dream that he told him about he said I saw your mother in a dream and your mother was wearing a very very fancy glorified Crown full of diamonds and she told me tell my son that every single day that someone learns gar from that system that value that precious day that we missed they add another Diamond to my crown why because I taught my son how valuable one day of T is how valuable one day of T she's just crying for her son she ended up being the solution for an entire generation the point is is that if a person takes some of these things into their mind if you just listen and you go home and you go back to your life within one or two days the impact is gone the motivation is gone this is why learning toah is required every single day just like we eat every day we breathe every day we need to learn every single day we need something to motivate us every day is something that's required every single day now to finish off I'm going to tell you something regarding ping now the mitvah is not just to wear custumes or just to uh get drunk or half a drunk depending on who your Rabbi isah is to remember what Amal did to us you go to Z at the end it says remember what Amal did to you now in reality we're supposed to remember it every day there's a that's probably in your that after you see two things in yourid that's not part of your but it's a to do it one thing is the list of 13 principles of Faith to every day read the 13 foundational beliefs of every Jew that there's one God that this God doesn't have a body or the likeness of a body that he knows everything including what's in your mind mind that mhu is the prophet of all prophets that the Torah will never change and so on and so forth the reward and punishment that I told you about that Messiah is going to come one day resurrection of the dead so we have 13 principles of Faith after that there's something called the 10 remembrances which are 10 major things that happen in the history of is that every Jew must remember remember where you came from so you know where you're going the first thing naturally is The Exodus Remember The Exodus remember that we were slaves turned for the first and last time in history the slave into the master never in history has such a thing happened not before not after once in a while you would had some uh slave run away from his master and maybe and live to tell that story but never was it a massive scale of people this is the first and last time in history that millions of people that were slaves turn into Masters in a matter of a few minutes remember that because that was the miracle of who told you he's the one that runs the world remember that also the opposite happens too the Masters sometimes turn into the slaves we saw this several times when is was in Egypt Torah tells us there were much much greater a number than the Egyptians much bigger so asked how come didn't kill the Egyptians then better yet something more connected to us something closer I'm is six million of us were in Holocaust six million of us were being murdered by these evil Nazis but who was helping them we were who is managing the burning of the bodies the slaves themselves who was the one that was hitting us sometimes us ourselves meaning the Jews were helping destroy themselves and you actually see there's a guy named nicholos nzili who was uh a holocaust Survivor because he was mang he was mang as a assistant Mangal was one of these sociopath Nazis that would do different types of testing on Jewish people and he would collect all types of body parts for his sick ideology and this nicholo niili was a Jew non religious Jew that was his assistant because he was a doctor and he would uh help him dissect the bodies and do all types of horrible things now he wrote a book and he wrote an beginning of the book The the guy that uh gave a forward wrote a uh commentary on this book says that the author is clearly sick in the head naturally because of what he went to but also because of how he tells the story where he tells the story this Nicholas nili which is telling the story as if what he did in the Holocaust is real medicine like he was still acting as a doctor as if it's you know cutting up a bunch of people as like real medicine your brother or your cousin and you think this is medicine so the guy is seriously sick but the point he says is that this is this sickness is no difference it's no no more difficult to understand it than understanding the fact that there were millions of Jews in the Holocaust but out of all of these camps out of all of these camps there was only one time that the Jews tried revolting and fighting back one time and during that one time they tried revolting they blew up one of the uh gas Chambers they did some serious damage meaning if they would have done it one or two more times we would have gone out of there he says how come nobody did anything how come they keep going in line one after another one after another as if you know like they're not going to get killed everybody knew they were going to get killed how come they didn't fight back same thing happened in Egypt how come they're just letting themselves being killed the Torah tells us that's because the K of a Jew the fearlessness of a Jew is not something that belongs to him it's something that hasem allows him to have or doesn't allow him to have when we do the will of hem Hashem says one Jew can beat a thousand green not because he's stronger than them not because he's smarter than them but because Hashem will make all thousand of those go afraid to death of him they won't mess with him but when the Jew is not doing what Hashem wants a thousand Jews cannot even handle one and that's exactly what happened in we had many more Jews than Egyptians but we were still slaves unfortunately the same exact thing happened and repeated itself several times in history more most recently in the Holocaust you had many many Jewish people but everybody was scared to death no one was able to fight back and even the few that would fight back no one would support them because everyone else was scared now the situation we have in in the world today is not very different the beauty is is that we have the history to learn from meaning the religious people today they know a few things but there's not that many of them the non-religious we have a lot which means that most of us as a people are not exactly doing what we're supposed to be doing now in the beginning I asked you how much would you pay to save one Jew everybody here agreed price less much more than the $2 right the non-religious Jews the founders of Zionism weren't willing to pay $2 for a Jewish body $2 they weren't willing to pay for it this is written in books it's not my creation $2 they weren't willing to pay for a Jewish body why because they had a certain image of what they needed to get they said the more dead Jewish people the more likely we're going to be able to get Med they wanted the world's sympathy they cared less about the Jewish people many of them were Christians Anyway by the way point being they cared less about Jewish people they cared about their mat their goal their agenda all of you are precious that care about you care about and I tell you that you can save not just 25,000 Jews you can save 15 million Jews for free for free not even for $2 not for a million dollars for free how take the sh take the link and share it with your friends your friend watches the shoe your friend watches the movie it's going to wake up his n if he still has a Jewish n it's going to wake up her n if she has a Jewish n they're going to start saying okay you know what I don't want to be a go anymore I want to be a Jew I want to do something about it they're going to start living a Jewish life they're going to stop pretending to be like the Goen that you can do for free if you want to do something more than that you said you would pay a million dollars to save one Jew you could do a lot more with a million dollars more than just save one Jew there's many things that we can do to help CL just like this Shu obviously arranging this event making more events building yes that actually teaches real tah instead of just collects fees from parents five or $1,000 a month just to make them graduate with a degree but nothing else there's a lot of things that we CL can do in order to improve the situation of not just the religious people but everyone everyone there's almost 20 million Jews in the world everyone needs help every single Jew needs help now whether a person is joining Judaism for the first time from a different religion he realized that Yos is some Idol it's complete nonsense this New Testament is completely man-made full of mistakes and he decides to convert or she decides to convert to Judaism or it's a new Bal Chua it's a person that just started keeping Shabbat in the last few weeks it's a person that's going to start keeping Shabbat right now it's a person that's going to start learning TOA right now in the beginning you don't know what you don't know now my dear friend rabbi gulan wrote this book that is perfect for the generation and the reason why this welcome to Judaism is for both people that are new to Judaism and people that are old to Judaism and the reason why I think this book is important there are many many other books I don't promote usually books in my sh but this one I do and the reason why is because this book is applicable to the generation reason why is because many of the things that I say to you if you're learning to every day you know what I'm talking about sometimes I say see some things that people that are new have no idea what I'm talking about why because we're used to visual we're used to seeing stuff if somebody says a deal and is a close I want to see the close how much this and I'll make I'll decide whether it's the right deal based the price based on something that I see if somebody says do something I need to watch a YouTube video about how to do this something we need a visual that's how this generation is we need to see something most of the books that teach the laws of Judaism the basic claws the AL the basic stuff don't have pictures so new people whether they're converts or new B don't connect to many of the books because it's a bunch of words so they want to watch videoos so they watch me on the Internet or other rabbis in the internet to learn what to do now Rabbi Golan wrote a book that not only teaches you the basic rules but he has pictures next to it also he not only tells you to keep Shabbat but he tells you what not to do by showing you a picture of what not to do this helps learning because now you'll have several senses being used in order to learn the basics of D now if you already know the basics surely you know somebody who doesn't whether it's your young kid or it's your friend or it's your spouse or it's your colleague or it's somebody else so this is just one of the examples that helps us to publicize T to teach people tah to make sure that we teach this generation to they need to learn but obviously all of this stuff is expensive books CDs yes building all of this stuff is expensive people that want to contribute people that help us do everything now one of the benefits of people that help publicize the is that when they pray to Hashem their prayer goes to a different department how do I know aside from my own life I see it because it says it in the Torah the Prophet Jeremiah chapter 15 verse 19 says if you bring someone that used to be not religious and you make him religious Hashem says you will be like my mouth so the sages say what does it mean you will be like God's mouth so God said to them just like when I say something it happens when you say something I'll make it happen so when a regular Jew prays to AEM regular Jew nice Jew he keeps Shabbat he keeps he's a nice person but he doesn't help other people do Chua he simply takes care of himself and his family he prays to hasem that prayer goes to Sham shim is a bed over there and they review the prayer oh this guy David is asking for let's look at what David has been doing in order to evaluate whether he deserves oh David is a nice guy okay that's check David is honest in business okay check David has a schom bite okay check oh David stole money didn't do cha oh okay X okay has to be on delay why because he's not yet 100% deserving this if he fixes his one thing he has so now when a regular Jew prays to as a now have to evaluate deserve don't deserve based on the actions when someone that helps people do Chu praise to it's a completely different department why it's no longer his actions only why because he is now A's lost and found imagine this 3,330 years ago came to is millions and millions of people and he told told them you be my nation and I will be your God we said we'll do it whatever you want Hashem we're in hasem was happy am was happy even though we messed up shortly later we made the we made we made up again everything was good and somewhere along the way we messed up how do I know we're still here we still here that means all of us were Mount sa when we messed up we had to go up to sh hm said you messed up you have to come back do it again we did it again we messed up again we went up to sh says hm said you have to do it again so he sent us back again the whole generation that lives today was at Mount sa and has been coming back over and over again to do it again which means has been looking for every single one of us for over three ,300 years imagine a father looking for his son looking for his daughter that somebody kidnapped some kidnapped her some Goya kidnapped them and he's looking for them he's looking in every corner he's looking in every building he's looking under every desk he's looking everywhere to find this kid cuz he loves his kid for 3,000 years he's not willing to give up and one day you show up he said ABA is this him and as Abba says yes that's my son I've been looking for you for 3,000 years and I only found you now because he found you and he started getting you to keep Shabbat he started getting you to keep he started getting to become modest I Finally Found You 3,000 years I've been looking for you so now the person that he found is fantastic he's been looking for them it's fantastic is person is going to go to heaven but what about the person that found them when he says uh ABA listen I know you're the king also can I get something from you can can I get like a little favor you know I have a little bit of uh health problems can you help me out I have some financial problems can you help me out I have some zuk problems I don't have a wife I need a wife can you help me out I need a husband can you need can you help me out what do you think the king is going to say oh let me evaluate what you else you've been doing let me check everything else or anything you want you don't need to be a genius to realize when the king sees that you're the one that found this kid after 3,000 years it's anything you want anything you want you will be like my mouth you ask for something Hashem makes it happen doesn't necessarily work on your timing you say something and two second later it appears oh hasm want $10 million $10 million a pce hm is not your uh worker but the point is whatever you need you get when you actually need it not necessarily when you want it this is why every Jew needs to care not just about themselves but also about because we're in a situation where you have 15 to 20 million of our brothers living a life that unfortunately could lead to the next Holocaust I'm not trying to be over dramatic to scare you I'm just telling you a reality this is just a reality this is what it is you ask people what did the world look like before the Holocaust they'll tell you exactly like today Jews were marrying non-jews Jews were acting like non-jews and sometimes even worse and that's why the prophet say the your conquerors and your destroyers will come from within you meaning your worst enemy is you we are Our Own Worst Enemy but we're also our own savior if every single Jew here takes the suggestion and takes a responsibility that this year I'm going to help 10 people do chuba 10 people how sharing lectures supporting financially arranging shim like this 10 people within a couple years all of am CH just like the virus works that way in a bad way kiru works that way also I spoke to a person that has been doing kiru for 20 years in Canada when I was there last week and I told him we have to change the system to apply to the generation he said I like what you're saying but you have to convince my Rabbi I said who's your Rabbi he says the biggest Rabbi in the world I said you want me to convince the biggest Rabbi in the world I'm telling you this is what works so he wasn't getting the point so my friend asked him listen I'm going to ask you a question how many people you helped do CH in 20 years you're doing it he said proudly 100 so my friend says he does it every week if every day passes and I don't get at least five emails of people that have changed their life I start getting depressed because that means we're never going to get there if every Jew does not help at least 10 people do chuva every single year we're never going to get there and if we don't get there Hashem has to get us there and if hasem had us to get us there that's much more painful that's what we could avoid this Corona this financial crisis this bubble we're living in this imaginary life we're living in we could fix it if each Jew starts caring a little bit about people he doesn't really know sometimes he knows them sometimes he doesn't know take a few Flyers give it to a few people take a few CDs give it to a few people take the sh link that's going to be published tomorrow give it to a few people send those WhatsApp messages and Facebooks and all these social media at least use it to publicize T because that's the only way we're get back on the same page when the mashia come he's not GNA come from the in a bad way it's going to come in a good way but that's only going to happen if we change something everything that's happening in the world is warning signs from I hope we're all smart enough to take those warning signs to Heart use them in a positive way do ourselves help our communities bring more bring us only blessings to each home to each family and to each what does it every single time he mention keeping it right next to you you can test check it out yourself right next to it it talks about ID see [Music] oh [Music]
