[Music] good to be back start a new week uh we are continuing our um series we only have a couple of lectures left in uh this specific series of the bet we'll decide what we'll do after uh probably another uh say two yeah probably another two lectures maybe um we're here at Sunny Isles in Florida I have to constantly remind people that are watching online that uh we do exist and we are in Florida for some reason so it's uh toughest part of the message is where we are um also for um for anyone that wants to get daily updates of our shim where they are different events and uh also uh short clips that we publish every day the team AEM constantly Cuts little Clips five 10 minute Clips every day to join the uh WhatsApp group uh thees will post the the uh numbers on the uh message uh thread but uh you could also uh text uh 917 468 2324 after you text it you'll be uh you'll get a uh six questions uh to uh verify who you are uh really most importantly to verify that you're not a Christian Missionary uh because they do like to torture us but uh once you answer the question you'll be added to the group and then uh you'll be able to get every day this I think is one of the best creations that uh the phones have had uh in uh in recent years just simply because it's a uh fantastic way to get toah uh write to your phone without necessarily going to the internet without uh looking for anything you know who you like you know who you like to hear all you got to do is just join the group press play and you have yourself a k um now I'm not a fan of making one minute Clips so if you're looking for one minute Clips you have to look elsewhere I don't think that anything uh um that I at least can say that's worthwhile could be said in one minute I think you need to at least build an argument takes usually about four five minutes sometimes they're a little longer but I know it's become very common uh for other organizations to do one minute Clips or two minute Clips uh they're trying to uh uh they're trying to appeal to to the generation that we have um and that cannot handle more than 1 to two minute Clips quite frankly I think it's a mistake uh simply because um you you need to you know if they're going to spend two hours watching a movie and paying $20 for it they could watch a five minute clip or 10-minute clip and for free um and again I don't know how much could be said in 1 minute but uh I I think that there's a little bit more needs to be said the reason why I'm starting off this way is because I think that um what the bet is telling us here now is really a very critical message to our generation in regards to for anyone that's been following along with the uh short with the booklet uh we are on page the bottom of page 17 and uh the bet is now uh going into a uh same direction but more uh more direct of who and what uh the sh will be for for David benana Sarah um dor Mercedes and all of also in ra and ran s but um so the uh the BET here in a series he hasn't uh held anything back I mean you see how kazal speaks is quite different from the way that uh today's uh leaders speak especially the rabbis of the world um and I think this is a very critical message quite frankly if I could call every Rabbi in the world to listen into this lecture I think we would have actually achieved something uh because this is a uh critical message about but really mostly for leaders now all of are leaders all of I'm Israel leaders I remember my R told me that uh during uh the times of World War II uh the uh um current American president at the time I believe it was Roosevelt uh went to uh benon and told him uh listen what are you a little country over here uh causing so much mess if we said don't do something don't do it so uh V goon says to him he goes how many people you have in your country he says uh well we have you know 250 million people says he goes well what do you have he go ah we only have 3 million goes oh okay see that's what should be much easier he goes no no the difference you don't understand is you have 250 not though today is 400 million you have 250 million people I have 300 million I have 3 million leaders 3 million prime ministers every Jew is a prime minister every Jew is a leader so really this is a uh instructions for uh for each one of us because each one of us is a leader of our own little circle some have families you want your family to follow you some have friends you want your friends to follow you some have uh just a uh group of people that they know point is is that this message is for everyone and it has a lot to do with says the following he says however whoever trusts in hasem will be saved from all of these tragedies whoever trusts in hem will be saved from all of these tragedies the things that were mentioned in the previous paragraph where in the bottom of uh the uh page 17 which tragedies why he says because he's not afraid to criticize those who do wrong what's the uh what's the Gula if you will what's the key to be safe from all of these tragedies that he was talking about in the last series of uh the punishments that people get uh when they flatter the wicked when they uh join them if you will or when they sit quiet he says you want to be safe from all of these tra IES you have to rebuke the wicked you're not afraid to criticize them and where does he learn it from he says look at yes look at Isaiah chapter 50 vers 6 and 7 where Isaiah says my body I gave to those who smite me and my cheeks to those who pull my hair Hashem will help me I made my face like a rock and I knew I would not be embarrassed so Isaiah fear l ly exposed himself to being hurt to fulfill his Mitzvah of lambasting the wrongdoers Isaiah fulfilled the mitvah of you must rebuke your brother now how far does the uh does that go the r writes in that you must rebuke your brother you see your brother driving on Shabbat you see your brother going out with a Goya you see your sister going out with a you cannot just stay quiet you see somebody eating non kosher you can't stay quiet if you're connected to them in some way you cannot just sit there and say oh he'll relies on his own one day he'll wake up I'll pray for him I'll pray for him now your prayer is great but your prayer is an extra Mitzvah it's something you take on extra you don't have to pray for him but you do have to rebuke him now in last week's we see that mosu rebukes the people again and he starts by telling us not to add not to uh uh take off anything from his Tora make sure that you follow says now Israel listen to the decrees and to the ordinances that I teach you to perform so that you may live and you will come and possess the land that Hashem the god of your forefathers gives you you shall not add to the word that I command you nor shall you subtract from it and he continues meaning that we have says You must rebuke your brother you see your brother doing something wrong you have to do something take him to the side talk to him take her to the side talk to her say maybe you don't have any money if you want I could go borrow a few dollars get you a dress that actually covers your whole body maybe it can help you oh no you have money oh you come from a rich family okay can you maybe ask your parents for a early birthday present a new wardrobe why because you're is you're the daughter of the king of kings you have to look the part you have to look the part you have to dress with a gown if you will you have to dress with a dress that covers your body you cannot look like somebody that's uh cannot afford clothes no what are you talking about my uh my short shorts cost me $450 okay but in the previous generation that wouldn't cost $5 because it would be considered underwear we have to understand that there is a little bit of a missing screw in the fashion today and um they sell you a more you know a uh piece of underwear as a piece of clothing with a name on it and they tell you that it's a full outfit for $400 so maybe I could help you out I could take you show you who where the story is you could say it in your own funny way but the point is you have to say something why she's your sister she's your brother now for women by the way when it comes to women in modesty guys don't do anything girls should do this why because guys first and foremost don't be overly righteous don't be overly righteous guys go deal with the guys you have enough work with the guys second off she won't take your uh your uh message she'll be insulted by you but if another girl tells her something there's a very good chance that she may listen especially if she says it in a nice way if she says it in a loving way I'm just making a little bit of fun of it to make light of the issue but the point is is that you see that your sister that you know forgot that she's the daughter of the king of kings and she forgot to dress the part you have to remind her you have to do something about it you see that your brother is driving to sh you have to say something about it now if you're connected to him he's your friend you're already going to the same Sho for a few months you verify that this is not a p every week you realize that this guy really is driving to sh every week you have to do something now if you don't have a uh either the courage uh or just the ability to speak don't worry you don't have to all you got to do is just get their phone number and after you get their phone number use the same finger that you di their phone number to press forward of one of our lectures and forward one of our lectures same finger and you let me do it why because this is at least something that you're doing now yes said I fulfilled the Mitzvah to such an extent that he exposed himself to physical pain and that's actually what the rambam says so they asked the r how far should I go when I'm rebuking somebody maybe you know's maybe he's like a Israeli hotthead maybe he's uh one of the Middle Eastern type you know you say something there what do you do rambam says you have to continue rebuking them every time you see them until they beat you up till they hit you and some of them are ra no it's until they threaten to hit you R says till they hit you and some say no until they threaten to hit you point being you got to do something don't just say oh I sent him a text I'm fine right I'm fine Rabbi I'm fine I just sent him a text I'm fine okay right I'm done no you're not done why nobody else is doing the job if everybody here would send five six seven 8 10 texts a day and everybody that's watching online would send five six seven 8 10 texts a day then I would tell you you know what you're fine why cuz if if everybody that's watching me every single week and everybody here and everybody there is watching sends 10 texts a day within a year all ofba one year everybody does cha but how don't I know it's not happening because I keep telling you guys to bring five 10 people every week and I still have the same amount of people I tell people to watch online bring five 10 people and the same amount of people why people are too busy being selfish would all do respect that's just a reality people are too busy being selfish they're managing their own life no I'm busy I got work you know I got okay fine no problem so when they're in G and they're burning and there's no way out because they're still you're gonna say it I say to you Steve Steve get me out of here I'm sorry I can't do it I can't do it why it's too late it's too late all your friends family neighbors but you know who's going to be burning with them the BET says they're rabbis the rabbis are going to be burning with them why because unfortunately many times the rabis here got your keeper unfortunately you keep that one all right it's for you present unfortunately the their rabbis enable them rabbis are scared of people today I had a guy cute guy young kid 20s asked me last week what do I do about my family there they want me to go to uh an event but you said I'm not allowed I said if I said I'm not allowed that that you're not allowed then you're probably not allowed but what's the event maybe I want to go you're not allow I'm going to go what's the event goes no no it's an event where uh it's going to be dancing us dancing is good go boys and girls oh that's KCT that's KCT why you go a place where there's boys and girls dancing that's KCT that's no share of the world to come why it's it's considered there are three cardinal sins in Judaism where the T says it's better that you die but don't sin better that you die but don't sin one of them is don't murder anybody thinking you're going to your blood is worth more somebody tells you either kill him or I'm going to kill you like they did back in a Nazi camp to torture the Jews they would try to get each one to kill each other unfortunately sometimes they succeeded but rarely say he kill him or I'm going to kill you they see them fighting and so on you're not allowed to kill anybody even to save your own life you have to die for it another one is they tell you listen listen I'm having a uh I'm having my uh wedding in the church cuz I'm marrying Christina I'm inviting you to be the best man it's better that you die and don't go to that wedding why a church is a place of idolatry a church is a place of idolatry you're forbidden 100% from entering a church even if an Arab terrorist is chasing you you're not let to hide in the church that's how bad it is somebody tells you he why don't you read the New Testament just to see what you think of it it's a mitvah to burn it why it's idolatry idolatry takes very seriously we saw it in the first three Commandments he repeats the Ten Commandments in this Paras first three Commandments in last week's Paras talks about God being only one no other God he doesn't have any friends up there he doesn't have any neighbors he doesn't have any helpers he doesn't have any me nothing him by himself you believe either in a trinity of the Christians or in a uh needing of a helper like unfortunately some Jews even think that you think that you are 100% an idol worshipper takes idolatry very very seriously it's one of the 36 sins what Tora says that person is cut off very dangerous to be an idolator the third one is is immorality immorality meaning sex crimes homosexuality incest beastiality but also also something that most Jews today including the religious do not even know it's a sin to that extent and that is touching the and of a the Tor says something very scary that I told somebody last week and he didn't like it he didn't like it when I told him he was actually very upset with me he started cursing me out like I wrote the Torah and he told me how come you're telling my son not to come to uh the wedding I said that didn't say to come to the wedding oh okay I said no no God said it God said don't go to the wedding say why CU then there's a death penalty what are you talking about I speak Hebrew he tells me I speak Hebrew I said me too I speak Hebrew too so show me in the Torah show me in the Torah where it says you're not allowed to go to a wedding or B Mitzvah or whatever mitvah where there's mixed dancing show me in the Tora says so I said okay I'll show you in the T in chapter 18 verse 19 it says you shall not approach a woman in her time of unclean separation to uncover her nakedness this explains to us is theah of what does it mean anytime a woman is not married she's not allowed to go to the mik not allowed to go to the mik meaning she cannot become clean she's n officially even if it's not the time of the month but what's n in general n is when a woman has a menstrual cycle she has a monthly period at that moment when the blood comes out she becomes nid the bleeding is generally speaking about four days sometimes longer depending on the woman but usually a woman Waits no less than 4 days after that after the bleeding stops she has to wait seven Clean Days Seven clean days where there's no blood whatsoever and then she has to go to the mik once she goes to the mik she's pure again she's allowed to be with a husband no problem but any other time before that any time that she's bleeding or she has not gone to the mik she's considered 100% an meaning if her husband touches even her finger we're not talking about even intimate that's needless to say we're talking about he holds his his wife's hand we're talking about he's hugging his wife he's giving a nice little peck on a a nice hello that's that's like you just drove on Shabbat now what does this have to do with mixed dancing first and foremost in a wedding in a bar mitzvah in a b Mitzvah in all of these so-called celebrations not everybody is married all of those young single girls are single which means they cannot go to the mik which means they're all nid every single one of them is nid every single one of them is forbidden for anybody to touch them not allowed to touch them in any way shape or form not to hug them not all to kiss them not definitely not allowed to dance with them so every single single woman is nid secondly if what if she's married and she's pure she's only pure to a husband not to the public why because now if a person touches a woman that's married to somebody else it's even worse what is it it's is it's his wife she belongs to him you not touch her yeah but he doesn't mind yeah he'll go to G him for that too don't worry he's not allowed to let his wife be touched by anybody yeah but it's her cousin okay so go there's enough room for him also this is a very serious sin that we have completely an about people are having these so-called Bar mitzvas B mitzvas all types of weddings and they're creating so many sins in those parties that little do they know that they're creating the says they're creating millions and millions of demons that are going with them home and then they're surprised why they get into car accidents why they have cancer all of a sudden why all of a sudden they have schite problems all of a sudden the husband doesn't love me all of a sudden the the wife wants a boyfriend on the side all of a sudden the kids are failing in school or they're trying some extra perets but not for pain all of a sudden everybody's going cuckoo mnon they're losing their mind everybody all of a sudden is going doing stuff that they didn't do before no no it's just this age it's just this phase you know it's midlife crisis you know she's only 16 you know she doesn't know no it's not she's only 16 no it's not that the guy doesn't doesn't know how to drive no it's not the weather it's the MIM it's the result of our actions if you knew who's the one that pushed your car to get hit by another car you'd be scared to death if you knew who's the one that got that pill in front of you to take it for the first time you be scared to death if you knew where all of these asot all of these disasters are coming from if you actually saw the image that are making all of this happen how scared you would be much scarier than my lectures cuz it's real it's real image I'm simply here to give you the news simply as a warning you want to listen be my guest you'll be blessed forever you want to ignore it as if it's nothing it's at your own risk but don't go up to shamai and tell them you didn't know and that's what I told this man after I told him some of the things I just told you I figured maybe he doesn't want to listen to the Tora so I'm going to give him some real life examples people like real life examples I have plenty of real life examples I had a guy tell me listen I want to invite you to a party I said okay what kind of party oh it's a b mitzvah I said okay where is this B Mitzvah who's there who's that you know just to find out the details if it's kosher if it's not Kosher oh no it's just fine you know the kids are going to be dancing a little bit alarm goes off alarm goes off mayday mayday mayday I start all the weapons are out why because the part is in a month stuff I told you and stuff I didn't tell you cuz I don't want to scare too much started coming out I think Sunny was there that's why he's so scared he's behind the camera not in front of me I start saying oh guys they didn't want to hear it they didn't want to hear it no but we already paid we already paid the DJ they're only little kids no they're 12 years old 13 years old what bad could possibly happen I said according to the Torah they're full grown adults why is it called but Mitzvah a 12 years old it's full grown adult 13 years old for a boy full grown adult according to the Torah amen did don't want to hear it it was very sad for me that they didn't want to hear it over the next year car accident that almost killed one of them business went bankrupt and the robbery on you say n it's one time what's the big deal one time it happened no it's happen St another P another person told don't go to the wedding why why it's a nice wedding I said don't go to the wedding it's a wedding is not allowed it's forbidden to you no but it's a family friend it's a this it's a that I said don't go to the wedding there's mixed dancing that they're secular these people you cannot go no I won't dance I'll just sit down the whole time I said you're not allowed to enter the place yeah but the rabbi is going there I said he has plenty of room in Gom for him you don't want to join him they didn't want to hear it over the next year and a half the tragedies that this person told me about that they were going through I can write a book about just about this person almost died a couple of times the spouse almost died lost every single penny they have we're talking about people already older 70 years old you you lose your money at 25 years old it's not a big deal you have plenty of time to make up for it 70 years old you lose everything it's not so much fun all types of diseases all types of problems third story told the guy listen this relationship you have to be careful there's rules in the Torah don't do this don't do this he didn't want to hear it he didn't want to hear it no my wife loves me everything is good we're having a baby soon I said you have to listen to what Torah says don't do this they want to hear it guess what under the day the baby was born he went to come visit the baby the hospital blocked them off you're not allowed to enter why not it's my baby I don't know there's a restriction order against you you're not allowed to enter but it's my kid the guy says it's my kid I don't know you somebody said is this you know this person he goes yeah it's my wife she goes yeah she has a divorce and she uh she doesn't want you to see the baby people think these are all happenstances these are all accidents these are all things that oh maybe this that no this happens this happens and a lot of tragedies happened to is and unfortunately I have to see a lot of it I'm sure that ra mrai sees plenty of it and other rabbis see plenty of it but many times you're going to hear this from me and then you're going to go to some clown that calls himself a rabbi he's going to say this guy's fanatic crazy he's like Kamas he's going to put a label on meas Isis Das something on me why because he's going to the party and that's what this guy did I told the guy what I told him and he says to me oh you're just making up stuff you call everything the Torah this is not the Torah I said this is five books of Moses what else do you want he goes yeah but you said t I said that's oral Tor this written T is oral goes no no I only accept the five books of Moses I said okay so I gave you five books of Moses you want something else is also mitvah that you read every day as a Jew meaning that even if you want to go and you just want to see you just want to sit there you don't want to go you're not going to dance with anybody you just want to sit there you want to see everybody having a good time Tora says you're not allowed to watch such things why it's forbidden it's forbidden for you to see a man and a woman intimate intimacy is not just the physicality that we're thinking in our heads we're talking about even if a person holds his wife holds her hold somebody it's not his wife you not to look at it so you don't follow what's in your heart what's in your eyes don't watch things in your eyes don't need to things in your heart you're going to see them dancing it's wow look they're doing the uh whatever some dance ballet or something wow okay that thought is never going to leave you it's very dangerous so the guy said to me was yeah but uh Rabbi such and such is going unfortunately there's no defense for that one there's no PUK in that's going to tell me oh yeah Rabbi such and such is over here yeah it says that he's a rash no Rabbi such and such I don't know him but I do know that there's plenty of Rabbi such and such that are going to these weddings and they justify by saying they're just going to the reception they're just going to the HOA but they're not going to stay for the dancing aside from this being a this is enabling everybody else to go to these places Now does not like such things does not like these types of parties and he writes in last week's par in the beginning of the he says follow all my then he gives us the mitv he gives us the Ten Commandments and then he says in chapter five of last week's pal chapter 5 verse number 26 says who can assure that this heart would remain Theirs to fear me and observe all my Commandments all the days so that it would be good for them and for their children forever tells through mosenu you want good for you for your kids follow my Commandments what commandment he's not mentioning all Ten Commandments he's sending one commandment what be afraid of a why because being afraid of a is the only thing that's going to keep you from making the immorality crimes Shabbat Shabbat it's not something you have a desire for it's not like somebody says I can't wait to drive on Shabbat you don't have a desire for it it's simply logical you believe in you believe is real you're going to keep Shabbat you don't believe in you don't believe in you're going to fate Shabbat simple simple but even people that keep Shabbat they have certain situations where they want to punch somebody in the face they want to hurt him but say wait a minute you know what I don't have a real you know I want to punch him I want to hate him but it's not allowed it's not allowed to hit him it's not allowed to punch him why because hasem says no but that's also logical it's logical that you shouldn't another person when it comes to morality when it comes to sexuality it's not there's nothing rational about it why one day it's allowed another day it's not allowed if you're married it's allowed if you're not married it's not allowed in reality what changed what the RAB blessed you he said okay you're you're married now let's say it's allowed now and before that's not allowed like what changed really like there wasn't any like lightning that came from Heaven said oh you belong to each other needless to say everybody else is doing it needless to say you're not even doing anything you don't even touch you're just seeing from afar immorality when it comes to that the only way to overcome it is pure fear of a it's the only way loving Hashem is never going to help you with this rationalizing it is never going to help you with this you're not going to be able to rationalize it why because it's irrational it's allowed one day not the next day you're never going to be able to make sense of the whole thing never why because you're not even touching her she's over there it's my body that people tell me it's my body it's only natural the psychiatrist even said it's healthy so the only thing that's going to keep you from making such sins is pure fear of and that's why he mentions it again in chapter 6 verse number two again he mentions so that you will fear Hashem your God to observe all his decrees and Commandments that I command you you your child your grandchild all the days of your life so that your days will be lengthened lengthened meaning that you'll live for you'll have heaven and if that's not enough he mentions it again in verse chapter 6 verse number 13 like 613 he says hem your God you shall fear Him him You Shall Serve and in his name you shall not swear so fearing a is mentioned several times in this par alone he also says don't test theem your God don't do certain things but yet we see many times that people do things as if they have no fear of hem now says that sometimes people have fear of hem but they don't have where they're afraid that Hashem will punish them if something you know if they do something wrong but they're more afraid of people so the rabbi knows that you're not allowed to drive on Shabbat but he's afraid that if he tells the people Hey guys you're not allow to drive on Shabbat Hey guys you're not allowed to have a mixed dancing wedding Hey guys you're not allowed to uh do all these things Tor says he knows it's not allowed he read it in the also just like I did but he doesn't say it to anybody so number one it means that his is lacking a little bit lacking a little bit to say the least but even more so says he has zero is lacking but his for sure is zero it's literally zero why you can have but no this plenty of people that are afraid of hem but they're constantly worried about stuff they're constantly stressed out about stuff is this going to work out is that going to work out if I tell him is he going to listen if I tell her is she going to listen if I go are they going to come if I don't go are they going to hate me if I tell constantly doing all of this math and this calculation in their head and this is happening in the rabinal world for years already for hundreds of years there's so many calculations being done by our leaders to the point that they've literally become just like you know juston was quiet that's an entire generation of people they don't say a single thing to people not all rabbis but many almost most you tell people listen why don't you ask your Rabbi is it allowed is it not allowed so the guy calls the rabbi because Rabbi says you're not you know it's not allowed goes well how come you're going goes oh you know I have a different position I'm only going to the reception I'm only going to do this I he's justifying his own sin why because he's scared if he tells people the truth those people are going to react the same way that this guy reacted to me which was by sending me a five minute rent of him cursing me out and uh everything that I came from and everything that he thinks about me but I know that that five minutes is the best five minutes of this guy's life why it's the first time his heart was woken up in his life if it didn't affect him why is he losing his mind if what I said from a Tora didn't affect him why is he losing his mind meaning that it's going to bother him it's going to bother him a lot and he's gonna lose some sleep over it and the only way that it's going to stop bothering him is if everybody else also gives in and enables them to continue this life everybody has a Moment of Truth most of us have many moments of Truth you have a test will give you a test a really difficult one money test a girl a guy a job uh whatever everybody's got their Moment of Truth do you believe in God or no do you believe God's watching or no everybody's got that moment of truth question is what do you do what do you do during that time guys like him that are looking for excuses are always looking for people like me to justify their sins by showing up to these events by telling them no but there's a way that you can make it allowed and start creating all types of fake leniencies to make this event allowed and that has to do not with not completely least it has to do 100% with 100% with confidence in that even if you tell people the truth everything will still be okay and that is what we're lacking we're afraid to tell people what said because we're afraid that how are they going to react if I tell her she's not allowed to come over anymore for Shabbat unless she stays over she's going to be offended and then she's going to stop being my friend and we start doing all the calculations for the Satan Satan doesn't even have to help us Satan's on vacation why we're doing all the calculations for him oh if I tell her then she's going to be offended if she's offended then she's not going to call me anymore if she's not going to call me anymore then how I'm going to help her become more religious we started doing all the calculations oh if I tell them if I tell the whole Kil that you can't drive on Shabbat they're not going to be able to come anymore if they don't come we're not going to be able to get the donation if we don't get the donations we're not going to be able to expend the sh if we can't expend the how can we build the Yesa if we don't have the Yesa how we going to have the Next Generation and they start doing all the calculations of what does it mean that if we do this meaning they have literally decided this is the only way that a can bring Salvation by allowing people to make a sin and that's it meaning that they've decided that cannot give them their salvation their results their good in any other way and aside from this being lack of it's also deciding for how he can bring Salvation to your life is it's a heresy because you're limiting a and all of these people that are simply telling everyone different things that are distorting the Torah in order to appease them in order to make them feel good about their current life and their current behavior are simply destroying another generation we have another generation of completely ignorant people and I'm not even talking about the secular I'm talking about religious people come to me with basic Alf bet questions that I'm saying to myself I don't know I just did Chua how do you not know this like how does this where where did you go you went to Yeshiva yes follow long my whole life yeah 25 30 years old yes how do you still not know this because they don't teach this in Yesa and I asked myself what do they teach what do they teach there there's a flaw in a system but we cannot blame the we cannot blame the rabbis we cannot blame any but by ourself and the reason why is because number one and most important we are responsible for our own teaching you are responsible to be a teacher to yourself you have books you have the internet you have countless resources that if you really want to know the truth you could find it it's a click of a button so you cannot go up to sh and says no no but the rabbi didn't tell me but my father didn't tell me my mom didn't tell me that's not an excuse in sh nobody here was born with knowledge of how to drive yet somehow everybody finds out by the time they're 15 16 17 years old you find out how to drive how you go to school you read a couple of books one books or something you try it a few times after a few crashes you figure out what you're doing you figure out what you're doing you know how to drive why because you want to know how to drive nobody's born with knowledge of how to make money but yet somehow we all figure it out by the time you're already 14 15 you're already a hustle you're selling orange juice you're selling candy bars cards anything that moves anything that doesn't move anything people will buy doesn't buy it doesn't make a difference they want to buy it I'll sell it to somebody he try to but at least I'll make something everybody hustles and bustles and makes finds a way to make money but you weren't born with this knowledge but you wanted to know you found out you found out no one is born with any knowledge about their career or even what career they're going to choose some people go to three four careers by the time they find something they like so you had enough time to learn three four careers but you don't have enough time to find out about what Hashem said and you're going to think that you're going to go up to Sham and say no no nobody taught me this and that's going to actually work you think that excuse is going to work you go up to Shai and says no but my Rabbi uh told me the wrong thing yes we know your Rabbi told you the wrong thing he has also and ow his own punishment but that doesn't absolve you from the crime you cannot tell the cop Hey listen the the teacher from the Driving School uh you know he didn't tell me that I have to parallel park that we just told me to just wing it each time okay well your teacher will deal with them accordingly but you my friend you have to pay a big fine why but it's not my fault no it is your fault why you cannot claim ignorance because you're a bad teacher the bad teacher has his own account in sh don't worry but it's not going to absolve you from any sins it's not going to absolve you from your own crime you have to be your own teacher if you try hard enough Hashem will send you a good teacher too but the point is is that when we have teachers that do not have they're scared to tell us the truth and part of the reason is because we make the relationship based on some type of monetary exchange we've turned religion into a business where if I like what tells me about you know my doing if I like what he tells me about I don't know my my what my knowledge then I'll give him a nice donation if he says hi to me then I'll give him a donation if he gives me respect then I'll give him a donation like everything is based on something it's like a give and take what about his cause do you agree with his cause yes okay so isn't that enough of a reason to give him the donation no no but he needs to respect me too what are you looking for a cheerleader or you looking for a rabbi if your Rabbi calls you at every single time you leave him a message and every time you don't leave him a message and if he visits your house constantly and he spends a lot of personal time with you when does he have time to spend with everybody else when does he have time to learn to when does he have time to publicize to If he if you want a best friend get up puppy not a rabbi people always ask me how come you don't call me how I don't have time why don't you have time because I have thousands of people that I'm trying to see from G any more questions oh I know you're busy but can you call me no I can't call you unless it's an emergency if it's an emergency I call you somebody called me on Friday I called him back why his mom died that's an emergency his mom died I called him I called them none of your mothers die so I don't have to call you but if there's an emergency I call but if you want to call just for me to uh chitchat with you how you doing how you doing how are you how are you how you doing how go byy a friend why because if a rabbi is your friend you're not going to have time to be a rabbi but that's the problem that's the problem that's why people don't want to donate cuz they want a friend they want somebody that's going to call them and give them attention their spouse is not giving him attention their friends are not giving him attention their colleagues are not g they want attention from the rabbi or else they're not going to donate that's the problem that's where the rabbis unfortunately are forced to become your friends why because they know if they don't befriend you and they don't call you 500 times if they don't answer every little whim that you have and give you every little bit of attention and show up to every single event that you have you're not going to donate they're not going to be able to build another betet another Yesa another this another that so what happens the the rabbi stops being a rabbi he becomes a friend so he doesn't learn as much Tor so when you ask him an questions he's constantly tell you let me get back to you why he doesn't know yeah but he learned in Yeshiva school yeah but he forgot you don't go over it you don't go over it you don't go over it you're going to forget let me get back to you let me get back to you let me get back to you let me get back you then what happens because youve become so such good friends already you're at his house every week he's at your house every other week and so on and so forth what happens now you ask him the question and he has an answer and he knows you're not going to like the answer why because you're good friends now so you say how could I tell him how could I break my friend's heart to tell him that is the the wedding between his daughter and uh and Jose the they're uh there is not allowed how could I tell him how could I tell him he's my friend this is happening everywhere this is happening everywhere to such an extent the people are koshering pig people are koshering things that are outright Pig just for the sake of friendship and money there's a huge betet in uh something Park here in Florida about an hour and a half away from here huge betet the rabbi made a wedding between aen and Aya under a fake conversion now why is this a big deal because even if the Goya actually converted she's still not allowed to marry theen because Kim are not allowed to marry not allowed to marry converts even if she's the most righteous convert in the history of man even if she's the most right not low why toah says K is not to marry convert there's nothing wrong with the convert it's just that the Quran is not allowed that's it it's a rule in the tor a problem with it go to Hashem have a one-onone leave with them and see what he says to you only problem is he's probably not going to bring you back though that's disclosure all to marry a convert now this Rabbi made an exception in the Torah why because this guy donates no less than $100,000 every young he has a contest with Mr Smith in the sh and they have a contest no less than $100,000 how do I know all this the son told me the son who thinks he's Jewish the kid doesn't even know he's not Jewish the point isai this is happening everywhere two cases like this are happening in New York and standad now as we speak as we speak fake conversions for the sake of marriage for the sake of donations for the sake of something it's constantly happening you tell people oh listen rabbi maybe you should do something you're the local Rabbi there yeah what am I going to do it's already too late so this is not just the rabbi's fault it's also the community's fault it's because of our sins it's because of our Behavior it's because we've made the Torah into a business the said it years ago Judaism declared bankruptcy when rabis started going to rich people asking for money now unfortunately you need money in order to build organization all the food costs money all the $15 people get cost money the place cost money the keepers you're all going to get for free cost money everything cost money you need people to donate without telling them for whatever reason or another people don't get the hint they don't donate but you have to be nice to them and the second you rebuke them donations canceled what happened recurring donation stopped oh yeah tough times what tough times $80 a month is tough times you were making $100,000 year last year if it's that tough times you stopped the $80 I should donate to you if it's that tough to donate the point is is that is not one of those things that is good to have so you have a nice life it's literally one of those things that's a survival guide It's a survival tool for the entire religion for the entire people if we do not have that is the one that's running the world we will fail miserably as a people because we're not going to be courageous enough to tell people the truth when the time calls for it we're not going to be able to do what we're supposed to when the test are up to our come to our doors we're not going to do it because we don't have so that's why the BET says he gives an example that's an extreme example from the book of Isaiah literally telling us that Isaiah took it to the extreme said that he put himself in physical danger just for the sake of telling people to admit he continues and he says if there is a certainty of danger one is not required to give rebuke as it's related in page 22 where a was traveling with two of K two ancient people on the way one murdered the other man and then asked a if he did a good job a said you did a great job and told him to cut some more a then asked R ran if he had done wrong by encouraging the and answered that he was required to do so to save his own life the reason is as mentioned above that where there is certain danger to life one may not rely on a miracle now here we see where there is a line where the Torah actually tells you yes you're allowed to put yourself in potential danger meaning he may hit you he may hit you but don't put yourself in certain danger where he'll kill you so there is a method to the madness now if you know for example there are some people that are gangsters that's what they do for a living now to you they say what's up how you doing give you a high five if they're Italians they'll give you a nice kiss on a cheek if they're uh Middle Eastern they'll give you two one on each but if you look at them the wrong way you're becoming a Shish Kabab that's the way it works I know a few of them now if you go to these people and tell them listen you violate shabat is going to kill you most likely they're going to be your shabab why who are you to tell me hasm is going to kill me so somebody like that you have to be very very careful you have to be careful but believe it or not there are certain rabbis that are in sh that specialize in those very same those people they specialize in dealing with criminals and the criminals are petrified of them petrified when ra mizi met one of the big criminal in New York the guy M like a gorilla huge giant but he he becomes a little puppy why they understand who's true who's not who's a real person who's not who's ises who's not same thing in there's a couple of rabbis like this they deal with the Mobsters the Mobsters say something scared to death they uh there was a uh fight there was a fight between two uh mafia families in is there was blood in the streets everywhere got chaotic to the point where somebody went to one of the big rabbis said Rabbi you got to get involved he said bring the heads of both families they brought the heads of both families and then he told them everybody get out like Rabbi these are the murderers these are not like regular people they look at them the wrong way they make you Shish Kabab get out he yelled at every get out everybody get out 15 minutes later both M bosses come outside crying hysterical like little babies why when you have when you have real fear of everybody's afraid of you everybody's afraid of you there's a famous story with the he was studying his with all of his suddenly a bunch of Russian soldiers come into the bet midash now these soldiers they would kill for fun but they heard about this big Rabbi they want him they go inside they're looking they're looking all the fall on the floor all scared who are these people who these soldiers but you see the continuing to learn like nothing is happening and everybody's watching everybody's watching they're scar to death because they're getting closer and closer to the G they're getting closer and closer to the but he's studying studying studying they closer and closer because they get through the tables they look look and he's studying and studying and then as they get approach his table he looks up takes off his uh talit that was covering his head and his hisin was showing there was maybe 50 60 people there or maybe more watched this and told the story as soon as they saw hisin the Russian soldiers they all got scared they ran out of the building now everybody else was also wearing but they asked the like what did you do he said nothing I just I want to see who's here said but how come they ran away from you we all wear but they didn't run away from us because it all depends on what you're thinking in your mind when you we feeling if your mind is clean of sin and you're actually doing what a said to do and you're afraid of a every single second that you have the then the world around you will be afraid of you but if you just put on your just to take pictures of selfies you can put on on Facebook I love those people take selfies they make it their profile picture they want everybody to know they put on once in their life became a sadik selfie got selfie that's what you're thinking about when you put says sin why you're not supposed to think about your selfie when you put on F so tells us that this fear of is not advice it's a commandment from but there are going to be times that you're afraid of hem but you don't have enough in him you don't have enough confidence in and you're going to be afraid to tell people the truth now sometimes times it's very important to expose somebody why is it important to expose somebody because sometimes it's not that the person has no and that's the reason why they're not telling people the truth sometimes they're just outright Wicked sometimes they literally it's not only that they don't have they don't have fear of hm either they just Wicked people and that's why several times over the last few years we've mentioned names of people that we know for sure are evil people and you have to stay away from and it's to do it but at the same token you have to be very very careful and use before you expose anybody because if you expose the wrong person you could bring much danger to yourself the p 22b says that Amara rauna said that when Shaul became king he was like a one-year-old who had not sampled the taste of sin meaning that Shaul when he became king he was sinless was perfect sadik and ra says to him wait he objected he says wait a minute you're saying he uh what kind what do you mean he's not a sinner so rephrased what he said he says the angels of Terror were shown to this why this says there's no way that sha was so righteous there's no way the show was so righteous ah he made sins later on so he must have did something things he said something bad about a sadik that passed away already later on that day he retracted a statement why did he retract the statement because the whole night all types of came to him and started torturing him says how dare you talk about sha the sadik like this yeah but we all see in the T that he did Sin a couple of times says he sin those sins are stated in the tor but he was righteous in the eyes of hem overall you can't say that he did something he didn't do meaning from there we learn you have to be very very careful of who you're talking about because if that person really is righteous and you're talking bad about him you could bring much damage to your life I promise you you don't want visiting you not in your dreams and not in reality now but later on there's a confusing later on same p page end of page 22 it says the following said in the name of any tah scholar who doesn't take revenge or bears a grudge like a snake and no is not a true meaning anyone that somebody did something bad for you you're you know a lot of T and somebody crossed you and you don't take revenge you're not anymore you're nothing says wait a minute hold on a second isn't it a sin there's a sin in the it says don't take revenge don't take your revenge against your brother don't go against the people what are you doing we is saying not only you should take revenge you're saying that if you don't take revenge and you were now your status is gone goes on garbage you're nothing 25 30 years of learning to day and night they're in the garbage worth nothing why for taking Revenge it's very interesting it says first of all when it says it's talking about monetary monetary issues meaning if somebody stole money from you somebody took a advantage of you monetarily and now take revenge let have will take care of it somebody stole money from you hasm will take care of it somebody took advantage of you hasem will take care of it you're not allowed not only you're not allowed to take a Revenge you're also not allowed to have any Vengeance in your heart meaning you can't hate him anymore you have to next time you see him hug him like you love him that much I know one boy one guy he had a altercation with his landlord landlord according to the statistics and the facts it's a piece of work not such a nice guy but he's a Jew calls himself an even learns in Nia too so this guy wasn't such a nice guy anyway long story short time came and the guy had to move but he wanted him to move early he said listen I didn't find a house give me more time says no no no you're ruining my life you're ruining this you already made a whole big scene out of it now this guy was so scared of making him upset he just found in the next house he said can you give it to me yes how much is it it's 100% more expensive Almost 100% more expensive than the last house how you going to pay for it God only knows he took the house why he didn't want to offend the other Jew they don't want to offend the other Jew meaning somebody that holds on to a mitvah wants to do something he can go far now you say wait a minute okay but he hurt himself now now he's going to spend instead of spending I don't know $1,000 a month he's going to spend 2500 instead of 2500 spend 3500 instead of 5,000 spend 8,000 it's a lot of money how's he going to get this money says if somebody crushed you with money don't take revenge why I'll take care of it how did he take care of it for this one particular person so far already it's been two years he has no problem with money somehow the money always shows up and he pays for the house why takes care of it takes care of it so when it comes to money don't take any Revenge when somebody crossed you with money why because that was the hand of a he's the one that made it happen he decided to take money from you for some particular reason and he used him as the hand if it wasn't him it would have been somebody else that would have taken money from you if it wasn't her it would have been somebody else that would have taken money from you if somebody did something to you and that you created a monetary loss for you yeah you can take him to a bed but the say the entire tractate of which talks about monetary law that's only for people who don't have meaning who where do you use these monetary laws this the entire body of law of that you know for monetary laws who's it for who's going to go to the he says people don't have why if you have you know that oh he stole from you okay don't worry if it's yours hasem will return it if it's not yours hasem will return it hasm will will not return it meaning don't let the fool you to thinking that oh I can get it back if I take him to a bedine I can get it back if I sue him in regular Court I can get it back if I threaten him I can get it back if I do this this and that if you have move on which is very very hard very hard there's plenty of people that I would like to sue but then thear says wait a minute okay so if I if if the only time that I'm not allowed to have vengeance is when it comes to money so am I allowed to have Vengeance if somebody hurt me physically somebody hurt me somebody insulted me in public somebody wrote a comment about me on the internet somebody uh beat me up can I do that says you shouldn't but if you're if you're you have to but not yourself not yourself you don't do anything but you keep this misery that you have this the fact that you're upset that somebody crossed you that somebody beat you up somebody insulted you that somebody did something you keep it in your heart don't let it go why because you're is the honor of the Don't Let It Go and AEM that sees what's in your mind that sees what's in your heart say oh my son is upset cuz this Shmo insulted him in public said about him no no I'm going to do something about this and Hashem takes revenge against that person now ideally you should love everybody but says there are people in love why because they so with that being said there is a time and a place for everything but you always have to check with a if you're allowed if you're not allowed to say to do to you know you can't just decide who's a rash and who's not now if somebody is a verified rash meaning if somebody has has somebody has is a well-known person that distorts the Torah there's no second uh uh way about it this is a person that was warned many times you've called them you've text them you've uh sent messages and it's one time after another this person is continuously doing things like for example some of these people that are pedophiles some people are pedophiles it's a mitvah to publicize who they are it's a sin to hide them for the community to hide who these pedophiles are who these rapists are It's a Sin from why cuz they're harming other people and as long as you hide them as long as you Harbor this criminal he's going to continue performing crimes elsewhere so if you know that somebody is such a criminal it's an obligation for you to expose this person in every way shape or form put their pictures on the internet put them in let people know who's their neighbor and so on and so forth you have to yeah what about Chua listen chuva is fine thank you very much but we still can't trust you why you took you took you took it you you lost that once you did what you did you lost that the same thing goes with people that are liars for example you see missionaries sometimes Jewish people join the church and become missionaries and there's a that is actually now answering if somebody was a missionary but now he wants to do chuva say say even after he does we not let they accept him but the truth is that you can accept him after he shown that he really did chuva but in the beginning you know have to help him somebody that was a missionary not have to help him why you lost that you lost that privilege of us trusting you once you started recruiting for the enemy even more so it goes to people that are distorting the tah because by far they're more dangerous than everybody else now the rapist the pedophile this is a person that's sick sick demented something vile and disgusting but at most he'll damage a few lives that's the hand of hem also but it's few lives the missionary the missionary also vile disgusting bringing people to but even if he pretends to be a like we they caught somebody in uh in New York in Montreal and a few places of these Christians that pretended to beim how many people going to get one couple two three four few few people they're not going to get a whole community of people but someone that distorts the Torah and and tells you it's okay to drive on Shabbat you could still be counted for Manan as long as you believe in some Rabbi that died or you believe in me or you givea or everything is okay AEM loves you no matter what someone that distorts the Torah to that extent that tells you that you can continue sinning is more dangerous than any pedophile any Christian Missionary any any human being in the world why because he can get not only entire communities he can get literally entire cities of people to follow what he says why because he sounds very friendly and people are going to attract are attracted to people that are friendly and they want to do it and what's going to happen people are going to rationalize that he's right why he's a rabbi after all he's a rabbi after all and that's what the BET says here is that it's not just dangerous to not rebuke people it's also dangerous to be part of it and not say anything you see that there's a certain Rabbi that's distorting the K like what's I'm talking about in Palm Springs I think it's called like his Kaa that knows what he did with a few couples in that Kaa that's a that Kaa is part of the crime different people that exist here different people that exist in uh in New York these people not saying anything and not allowing it to continue happening are enabling the rabbi to continue and the reason why is because this Rabbi depends on people's support in every way shape or form and as long as no one says anything about it he's going to continue or if it's a rabbitson she's going to continue lying and distorting the truth to such an extent that you'll have an entire generation of people believing that you're allowed to drive on Shabbat believing that you're allowed to eat whatever you want believing that you're allowed to go to these mixed dancing parties believing that you're allowed to Simply sin against the toah just because hm loves you and bet to finish says the reason Hashem requires us to safeguard Our Lives even though it's easy for hem to make a miracle is because hem tries to avoid making Miracles if if hasem would make open Miracles we would be forced to believe in him and we would no longer have free will if every sadik could battle lions and survive it it would become obvious that the mitv can save and everybody would become and therefore no one would get credit for choosing to be a sadik the BET says that many of us are assuming oh wait a minute I have so he'll take care of this if this Rabbi is alive then let hm take care of this problem if this missionaries a problem let hem take care of this problem everybody says let hm take care of this that's what the here tell us don't do that why if AEM want was going to take care of it he wouldn't have presented it in your life if you are going to a Sho you happen happened coincidence as if it exists coin you coincidentally go to a Sho or you are next door neighbor to a rabbi that's well known to be a liar well known to be a pedophile well known to be some type of manipulator or whatever type of person businessman doesn't make it doesn't necessarily need to be a rabbi anybody that's a manipulator a liar or an influencer of some kind you happen to know this guy you happen to live next door to him you happen to be part of the same group what do you think it's a coincidence that you're part of the same group no is giving you the opportunity to decide do you want to be my vessel to expose the truth or you just want to be a innocent bystander because it's not your problem it's not your problem right he's he's killing people left and right and destroying there it's not your problem this is one of the things that are probably the most difficult to do and the reason why is because in order to to to do such a thing you have to have confidence in hasem and the reason why is because when you rebuke people and you expose people and you tell people the truth it's not a pretty sight people yell at you people curse you people take offense to it sometimes they cry sometimes they yell all types of things that are unpleasant but that's where we have Al that's why we have have the laws of the Torah and people are going to say wait a minute what about what about exposing people isn't that a sin so everyone learns because of the made it very easy for us to learn it even though Tora talks about already from the time of the first was actually done by the serpent the snake he said so the dean of we already know from the time of even before the Torah was given butom he put it in a simple form form formula where he put it in a few books you want to learn laws of here you go easy writes in the laws of chapter 4 S 7 and8 he says one is allowed to repeat the wrongdoings of a person who was raised in a religious environment and has cast off the Yoke of Heaven meaning if you know somebody went off the you you are allowed to tell people hey by the way don't uh don't go with this guy why no he's off the de he's a he a so people say wait a minute how can you say that he's the guy comes from a religious family his father's a rabbi such and such goes no no no he went off the it has nothing to do with his family him we have a problem with why he went off the D he's a danger to society why is it danger to society he says the reasoning is simple the says if we allow R to rise up unchecked in our midst and we do not take a stand against the evil our silence is not counted as righteousness but his foolishness for allowing a cancer to grow unhindered if you simply says you know somebody as aash but no no I'm going to be silent about it I don't want to say maybe he'll do on his own maybe I'll change his mind maybe somebody else will do the job says that's not righteousness that's you're being stupid that's simply stupidity why because now because you didn't say anything about this Ras he's going to continue doing his evil because he's assuming since nobody said anything oh I'm innocent I'm innocent nobody said anything he stole from the store but nobody said anything so steal again it starts with a candy then it's a a few candies then it's maybe cast from the register then it's this then it's that and there was a uh a Ponzi scheme anybody know what a Ponzi scheme is panzi scheme is which one guy steals a lot of money in so many words by cheating a bunch of people to invest in a fake investment that's what a panzi scheme is the most amount of money that's stolen is through Ponzi schemes like for example in the old days they used to rob banks nobody robs Banks anymore why that's not enough money Banks don't carry much money even if it's a big Bank most of the money leaves the place the most amount of money that you can steal is through Ponzi schemes or public companies but that's a different story altogether but panzi schemes in general that's why because you get a bunch of people to invest by telling them that you're guarante being that they're going to have a certain amount of return they're going to give you a million dollar you're going to give them $2 million they're going to give you a million do you're going to give them $1.2 million over a set amount of time when you tell them all these fake things there's no risk it's risk-free it's uh guaranteed I'll send you money every month you make them feel safe and they actually do it they give you the money and you send them the money wait a minute how can you say that you're going to do something and it's not real but yet you're still giving them the money I mean at some point you're going to need the money to pay them how do you do it you're taking somebody else's money that also invested he invested a million dollars because you promised them a million two $200,000 profit so now that means you have to not only return him the million dollars you have to return him a Million Dollar Plus $200,000 so what do you do you take his million dollars but then you take somebody else's million dollars so now you have that extra $200,000 so you start paying him a little bit at a time each month you pay him a little bit at a time at $200,000 you're not paying him a million two back you're paying him $200,000 over a period of a year the other guy that give you a million doll you also have the money for him it's his own money you give them $200,000 now they see oh wow I got $200,000 profit I don't want the million dollars back I want to invest another year in fact I'm going to give you even more money in fact I'm going to give you a bunch of friends and each one of them gives a bunch gets a bunch of friends and they all get the money together into this safe investment that's all fake but nobody knows because they keep getting money every month in essence what they're doing is they're getting their own money and their friends money back but eventually this all collapses and the reason why is because this depends on a NeverEnding supply of new investors as long as new investors continue to funnel more money you can continue using Peter's money to pay Paul and once Peter stops coming in you don't have you run out of money you can't pay Paul anymore so panzi schemes are a way for that's how Bernie made off made made a big by stealing billions of dollars a guy named Stanford also stole about $8 billion and many many other thieves stole billions and billions of dollars why am I telling you this this also happened in the religious communities this also happened by religious people in Lakewood in Los Angeles in New York in many places this happened and one of the one of the articles that I read actually said that one of the rabbis or somebody that was an influencer of some kind said I always knew there's something wrong with this guy the guy that actually stole the money I always knew but maybe I should have spoken up 20 years ago meaning the the fruit was already rotten when the guy was 15 16 years old and everybody knew but nobody said anything so he became more rotten and more rotten and eventually got became when you're when you're rotten 15 year old is not such a big deal when you're run 25 it becomes a bigger deal you're 35 you have access to money you access to to all types of friends and so on you're able to speak better you're able to do different things you become dangerous to society so not speaking the truth about people that are criminals is a crime itself it's not righteousness it's stupidity cuz you know if you saw somebody murder another person you tell you tell the police you tell somebody so when you see somebody murdering somebody's why aren't you doing the same thing that's what the says in the first here the second one he says this is in chapter8 number five says the prohibition against speaking applies when some when spoken about someone who's considered meaning one of your people namely in observance of Tora however regarding those who are recognizably aim Heretics it's a mitvah to disparage and shame them to their face and behind their back for everything that one Witnesses or hears about them the Torah States in Leviticus 25:17 and Leviticus 1916 that one should not wrong his fellow and also do not act as a tail Bearer among your people but Heretics do not fit under this category for they do not act as your people therefore we follow the practice as taught by aan those who hate you hasem I will hate and your rebellious ones I will dispute and a heretic is one who denies the laws and Prophecies of Israel whether the written law or the oral law even if he says all the Torah is true with the exception of one scriptural verse needless to say or one grammatical detail he is included in this category so here even into intentionally we will destroy it so here says when it comes to people are always scared about l oh no I don't want to say I don't want to tell you his name because I'm scared of L what what do you want to tell me oh it's this Rabbi in my community or this guy in my community or this woman in my community then in so many words she's destroying people's lives well listen if this person is destroying people's lives it's an obligation to say it's obligation to say something about them why cuz not only are you it's for toilet it's to help other people but even more so this person is most likely a heretic for something so is this person keep Shabbat oh no he doesn't keep Shabbat oh okay there you go he's a heretic so he's not the laws of don't apply to him just told us someone doesn't keep Shabbat expose them to the public all you want you shouldn't get yourself used to it meaning don't start talking about every person that violate Shabbat that's not exactly a great habit but if this person is hurting other people no problem what about if this person is teaching people the false falsehood falsity all types of false teachings here we go again this person is considered a heretic if he tells people you have to believe that somebody died and now he's the mashiah or that they you know that Shabbat is allowed to be counted in even though the says no even though the r says no even though T constantly says no but he says such things guess what he's a heretic he doesn't have to be a heretic in the entire Torah to be called a heretic just like the says even if he's a heretic in just one thing he says no this law not not for me it's not for this generation somebody told me the other day he's like I asked the rabbi about wasting seed he goes no this is not for this generation I said that's not you cannot call him a rabbi anymore why he's a heretic to say that there's one law in the tah one law in the tah that's no longer valid that's heresy that's the definition of heresy so we have to know that there's a time and place for us to be righteous and as an instruction of how to be righteous you cannot decide what's righteous and what's not righteous you have to go according to the Torah now the problem that we have as we said before is that sometimes we have fear of hem sometimes we see that Hashem runs the world Hashem does wonderful things Hashem does things that are scary we understand that Hashem runs the world but we're still scared to expose the criminals we see that the rabbi open a whole new parking lot for people to drive on Shabbat we see that the rabbi is collecting a bunch of stock up but he's not really using the money for what he said he's going to use the money for we see that somebody collected a few million dollars for some campaign but in reality because we have an inn we know that that campaign never existed didn't start didn't end it's not it's just purely for their own piggy banks cuz they're pigs you know that something's wrong you know that something's run he said no no but uh hem will take care of this I'm scared I'm afraid of hem that's but that's why I'm afraid to say something says no that's a mistake the says no that's a mistake there's a time and a place to be righteous you have to know that if showed you a criminal there's a reason for it there's a reason for it if you saw somebody performing some type of crime that's hurting other people people there's a reason why hasem is showing it to your eyes you don't have to be a rabbi you don't have to be anything you saw crime just like they say in New York if you see say see something say something but they're talking about bombs this is spiritual bombs now again there is a place and a time to do it maybe the rabbi forgot so you know go to them privately ask them Hey listen Rabbi you said something in a I wasn't really sure can you double check you said that it's okay if you drive on Shabbat I wasn't sure if that's love you sure about that see if he explains himself see if something double check maybe the guy's not a but once you have kak meaning once it's already a pattern that this guy is constantly violating the Torah that's it it's shown to you time and time again for a reason if somebody is righteous and you know that they're doing good things you should also publicize it you should also do everything everything good to everything possible to expose that uh that righteousness don't just focus on bad things I have some people that every other day they send me all the the worst news of Judaism it's like I'm a terminal for bad news I'm police officer for the internet really rabbi did this Rabbi do this can you do something can you do something can you do a lecture about this I said how many lectures you want me to do about these rabbis all day I can't if I spoke about every single bad person on Judaism I would never have time to learn toah so don't just focus on the bad the reason why I'm having first of all this is what the is talking about but the second reason is because this is what the mitvah that we're scared of we're not scared of publicizing good things we're scared of publicizing bad things because we don't want it to be a we don't want to desecrate hashem's name but it's very important for us to know that yes desecration of hashem's name is a horrible horrible thing but if somebody's desecrating hashem's names privately by telling his fake teachings or missionizing or doing all types of things that are against the Torah that will eventually grow and as each time it grows that person that had the opportunity to expose it becomes a partner to the crime so it's very important for us to know when and how and what to do you could do it anonymously you could do itth publicly there's a lot of ways to do it the point is for us to do something simply do something and the reason why is because again if the rabbi is righteous you should do everything possible to get more people to go to his more people to watch his do as much as possible if the rabbi is dangerous to society you have to expose that too because right now we have a very confused generation and people are simply don't know what to do they don't know what to do they don't know right they don't know left and this has does not have to do with just this has to do with you is critical but we also have to know that is just as critical because you could have without but you cannot have without if you have that means you already have because you're not going to have confidence inem unless you're afraid of him unless you know who you're dealing with but to be to know that hem exists everybody knows everybody's normal knows that hem exists but it doesn't necessarily mean that we think that he's watching and monitoring every little minute so this is a little bit of in regards to a very pertinent issue to this generation I know it's probably not the most a pleasing uh topic to talk about but quite frankly I think it's a uh it's for us to understand the magnitude of uh the danger that we're all in as a people because remember even though all of you are young some of you don't have kids yet one day you will is m is measure for measure last generation has a generation of kids that are IGN ignorant why last generation didn't invest enough time learning to didn't invest enough time learning to they they learned it superficially so they have an entire generation of ignorant people their kids know even less than them last generation most of them knew how to pray most of them knew basically the but they didn't continue developing that knowledge so this generation doesn't know anything nothing they don't know how to pray they don't know you tell them say what do you mean what is that say it's a weekly Torah portion goes what's the Torah it's Judaism oh okay Jewish people I said yeah like you oh okay okay fine so what do you do what do you guys do about this par what is it food said no it's not food it's not food it's not food that's why gave us a mount three 3,000 years ago he goes how do you know 3,000 years ago you were there you started the kid's 18 years old doesn't know nothing why because his father didn't study anything his fathers didn't study anything I'll give you another example many women many women complain about their husbands they don't have SCH literally it's almost every other house almost every other house has problems with slite if said in the shield today this is the clearest sign from Hashem that it's mid mid why you look at all of these houses all of these houses that have schlite problems the overwhelming majority of them have an emodest wife the wife is emodest obviously the the husband also has problems it's not justifying the husband but you'll see all of the houses that have schom bite problems is a constant common denominator e modest wife why ises e modest wife have to do with schum problems when you're IM modest you're causing other men to look at you when you cause other men to look at you you are destroying other people slite because he's talking to his wife but he's thinking about you so you destroy other people slum is destroying your measure for measure every little thing that we see in our life is always measure for measure if we Dove enough will'll see that this is something that we did ourself there's no mistakes there's no happen stance there's no coincidence everything that's happening in our life is doing for a reason but that doesn't mean that we can't do CH we can we can fix ourselves we can't go back to and repent and say I'm sorry but we have to start doing something we have to start doing something don't wait until it's a uh day before you die or uh you're already too old you're already Young bem you already came to a few it's enough of a reason for you to start doing Chua any questions you had a question in the middle of the shoe forgot it forgot it think very you tell me yeah I remember it now you remember it how about so I know like and he's too afraid to speak up because if he does say something wrong he might lose his job you know okay so you that situation so this is an issue that is very common and it all depends on whether he has or not if he has there's one circumstance if he doesn't have is a different circumstance so I'll tell you what happened once I'll give you both examples one time there was a rabbi that I know he scared to death of but he knows that he has a very difficult K very difficult K these people are like rash criminals not easy people he talks they interrupt him every two seconds they yell at him one time they threw a chair in the middle of Shabbat I mean criminals so this guy he says he tells me he goes listen if I said what you said they'll throw the chair at me next time I said I know I know these criminals not good goes yeah that's what I'm going to bring you you say it why if it goes well if it goes well I'll keep bringing you if it's bad I'll say hey I I didn't know this guy's so crazy yeah I'm sorry guys I'm Sor why because he has he wants to tell him the truth but he knows that he can't do it himself if he does it himself it's going to end right there and then so what does you do you bring somebody like me fortunately and unfortunately there's not many people like me in the world somebody asked me today he says he wants to start a kiru organization by where he lives I want to start a kiru organization to do good things to publicize tah I said great well good luck CU what what what's the problem I said well money you have no problem you have money you have money uh Place location there's not you know there's so much land in America that uh you could you could build from the ground up you could build five worlds place you have land you have money you have Jews exist somewhere wherever you live that's good speakers on the other hand good luck with that one because why good luck why it's hard to get a speaker can find a speaker every other day I said speaker it speaks the truth you want to teach to you want to teach uh Smurfs want to teach Smurfs you can buy something you get somebody for 100 bucks a day nothing but I want somebody to teach to right now to my knowledge there's less than 10 in the world that speak English and tell the truth less than 10 in the world and I'm being very very generous with the number somebody that's a big told me there's three he told me I'm one of them but point is is that not many not many so I told him if you find one in your middle of the nowhere location it's like finding mashiah hey mashia where you doing in America okay come come why because it's so there's so few there's so few that are willing to to tell people the truth so what happens if a rabbi wants to tell people the truth but he's afraid that they're going to get fired and so on what do you do you bring somebody like me and the good news is there's not many people like me you could bring ra bring me there's a few people but there's not many you don't have that many of that large of a choice so you won't get confused why you can pretty much see who gets results of people doing Chua and who just makes people feel good about thems who is there like a cheer and who gets people to uh you know scratch their head and try to figure out what are they going to do with their life cuz they have to change who gets people to get divorce because of intermarriage and who gets people by to get fixed because they realize that they're both Jews point is is that the stronger speakers are going to do the things that are most inconvenient now there's another example somebody I'll answer your question after somebody who did not have and and when he heard the truth he rejected it says years ago he went to a Sho in uh I think it was Brooklyn and uh he told the you know big Sho K everything and he told the people that anyone that drives on Shabbat is considered an idol worshipper which is what T says R says inat in uh not few places the ra mentions it point is they know drive on Shabbat mentioned in the lecture as he's saying this you know everybody's like this he's like it's the first time they ever heard it even though they're all Jewish he sees in the back of the Kil in the back of the room the rabbi the rabbi and like one of the uh board members are both waving to him like stop it so he continues he sees that they're trying to stop him he continues even stronger so they stop him in the middle he stopped him in the middle like oh we just want to talk to you one second one second want to talk to you one second took him outside goes no what are you doing you you're ruining everything goes what because can't tell them not to drive on Shabbat we're going to lose the entire K almost everybody drives on Shabbat they all drive to our we need Unity so nods goes back inside and he goes even stronger he goes you know what they stopped me over the outside because they told me not to tell you to stop driving on Shabbat but they're Liars don't drive on Shabbat he told them everything they kicked them out they kicked them out now he tried his best right he tried his best some of the people in but those what happened to them I know a story of one of them one the rabbi of the Kila sometime past he went to a trip with his family him his wife and I think two kids they went to is drove on the road got hit by a truck everybody died I think it was within a year or two of this event why you didn't want to say the truth that's one problem but when the truth arrived at your door you stopped it now you think this is the only story I have some of my own one Rabbi tried to put a stop to it three months later he got cancer another Joe Schmo stopped the lecture was supposed to have an event stopped the lecture a month and a half later his son his uh I know kid was born didn't leave the hospital for almost nine months and so on and so forth people that get in the way of a they put their life in danger we don't publicize all of these things because it's not exactly something you're proud of but the point is bad things happen to people that get involved in the for you to say the is one thing yes you should but it's much much worse if you stop it yes I was asking let's say like you were saying how people crimes and stuff let's say you snitch on him so he comes out of jail like a couple years and a lot of people be telling him like yo he snitched on you he snitched on you like and then after the next day he's going to kill you like you understand why would snitch on him if like you're scared what he's going to do next like what is he going to harm you and stuff you understand so telling people it depends depends on what what you're snitching about it depends what you're snitching if it's something that's monetary then the first thing is you need to go to the uh to the bedin and you have to bring it to the bedin to some strong rabbis before you go to the uh go to the authorities you have to go and try to get some rabinal help but if it's a situation where the guy's a murderer or a rapist and he's harming other people then there's uh no uh there's no uh delay you have to go to the police and don't worry the Tor says anytime you do aah you have nothing to worry about you have the protection of the Tor the entire to protects you you don't have to worry about this person killing you you don't have to worry about this person hurting you in any way shape or form in fact this person is most likely going to come thank you and I okay I'll give you examples I have after the lecture I show you a recording I uh I gave somebody about a year ago a little over a year ago people ask me questions I try my best to answer them and this young guy was telling me listen he's having problems with his family what they're all rejecting is chuva he's doing chuva his uh wife to be is doing chuva they're all trying to do good things but his family is rejecting it he doesn't know what to do I told him listen you stay strong you make sure she stays strong and you'll see that time is going to come not only they're not going to reject your chuva but they're going to ask you for a blessing today today or yesterday he said Shabbat or today he sent me a message and I'll show you you could hear it yourself he says I want to tell you that what you said a year and a half ago it happened today what happened he said my family that was against me today one of my uh aunts called my and talked to my wife says listen I need to talk to your husband she goes why what happened you goes oh my son is having problems da he goes okay what my husband going to do he's not a he's not a guidance counselor goes no your husband is very holy I need him to bless us your husband's very holy I need him to bless us maybe he'll solve our problems again it's silly but it's great why at the end everybody knows what's true and what's not at the end everybody knows if you stay strong will bless you countless times to such an extent that says if hem is happy with what you're doing even your enemies will come and say I'm sorry to that extent your enemies your enemies what do enemies want to do enemies want to kill you enemies want to hurt you Hashem says if I'm happy with you I'll even make your enemies come say and apologize to you to that extent to that extent that's how much Hashem runs the world with Precision if you believe in the to but if you're just a uh you know if you just don't believe a you're not going to do a lot of these things you're going to be scared for your own pocket or your own this your own that so again I'm not saying to go start snitching on every single person that may or may not have done something wrong you have to obviously have kak you have to make sure this person is a bad person it's not a you know possibility you have to go according to the Torah go uh you know there's different things different procedures you have to follow but when it comes to the easy part the easy part is to everybody knows which one of their family or friends or community members is keeping or violating the law meaning the Torah everybody knows who keeps Shabbat who doesn't keep Shabbat it's not like a secret people don't hide it anymore people don't have any Shame about it you know in the old generation if you smoked a cigarette as a kid you'd hide it you'd smoke behind the house you'd smoke in like some basement why because if any of the parents so you smoke a cigarette all of a sudden you don't have any friends anymore why you're the smoker you're the 13-year-old smoker you're on today kids smoke marijuana with their parents at 12:13 there's no shame there's no nothing it's completely a pathetic regeneration that's what it is they smoke p with their parents remember I saw I'm tell guy says oh when I start smoking he goes oh my my dad gave me I what yeah my dad gave me a joint said what a generation we have so this is out a generation with shame there's no shame which means that it's easier to know who's a criminal and who's not so that means that you can help people because you know who's doing wrong and who's doing not who's not doing wrong you know who's driving on Shabbat you know who's breaking Shabbat you know who's doing all these different things so you could tell them you don't want to tell them just send them a message with my lecture on it or Ra's lecture or any lecture that you find that's uh good that's talking about that specific spefic issue that they're violating and keep doing it don't give up the point is is that don't just sit there idly doing nothing this was by the way I'll just uh last thing this was one of the mistakes that we've made many times throughout all of the generations whether it's the BET mikdash generation first one second one or even the Holocaust the uh the book I was mangle's assistant uh where uh n Nicolas nili was a uh helper uh to Mangal the malit in the Holocaust um he would this Jewish guy would uh you know do the uh all of the uh cutting up all of the bodies and examining them and so on and so forth all of the horrible things and one of the things that he talks about is what happened with all of these different Camp these Su Commandos these different shifts of few hundred Jewish men that worked for the Nazis by force is that out of 14 14 I guess under Commandos only one revolted the other 13 did their work four months later the Nazis killed them the other one did their work four months later the Nazis killed him meaning the Nazis would use them until they knew too much then they killed him and they would actually use the Jews to destroy the Jews meaning they would take the Jews from the camps from the ghettos and put them in the actual uh guest inside the uh crematories burning the bodies they would use Jews to do this and nobody revolted why this is also mid mid you didn't speak up when you saw other people doing wrong you're not going to have the strength to speak up when you know it's wrong it's also of course you can't judge them but it's a reality same exact thing happened in says that who decided to destroy the bet mikdash when there was no man rebuking anybody anymore so rebuking is not a suggestion from a Tora but simply a Commandment that we are failing at miserably and we need to do something about it it starts with us if we start doing it our rabbis will do it our community leaders will do it the board of directors will do it other people will do it because everybody can see what's wrong everybody knows that there's something wrong I mean I don't know about you guys but it's not exactly uh tip toop shape there's board of directors of many of these shoes are secular people they don't even keep Shabbat how is a bunch of secular people running a religious organization doesn't make any sense the biggest Jewish organizations are a funded by Christians how does that make any sense to anybody there's a lot of things that are wrong everybody knows there's something wrong so it's time that people do something about it yes isn't there aib something aboutone you know isn't make because of it only if it's a rabinal sin meaning if you see somebody that is a uh a nasty person and you see that he didn't do he he was about to eat ate an apple or something he or he didn't wash his hands wouldn't it he let the dime that's a rabal mitvah if you know that if you say something he's not going to listen anyway you don't have to do anything but if you see him driving on Shabbat that's a Biblical Mitzvah and you're obligated to say something there's no such thing as uh not rebuking him you have to say something the only time you don't say something is if again if he hits you already uh which people don't do anymore so with that being said we'll have the next year on Tuesday in aventur amen e [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music]
