Parashat BeShalach, Torah Secrets Unveil None Kosher Food

we'll see we'll talk about the we'll talk about some other things that rela [Music] Diversified the problem with politics is that in order to be a politician you have to Sin from the Torah what sin sin sin in order to be a politician you have to sin what's the sin you have to be a liar it's guaranteed there's no such thing as a politician it's not a liar why because a politician always has to have his own agenda which means that regardless of whether he's right or wrong he he still has to fight for what he needs to get which means that even if he has to lie he has to do what he needs to do was was there was no politician he was a king there was no politics mosu was a king still need a politic to lead the people and to make them believe but there's one ruler there there's there's a very very big difference between an election an election that is elected by people and a democracy and a king and the reason why is because you have to look at the logic we'll get into the CH in a second but I'll give you an example of why democracy is against the Torah why is democracy against the Torah it's also against all logic everybody loves democracy say oh no we have democracy democracy democracy is the worst thing in the world why because democracy depends on an election process that means that you have to let's say for example you have a million people yeah you have to have more than 500,000 elect yeah favorite party or the majority of the people elect let's say if there's two sides 51,000 has to elect one guys for him to win okay now that system is flawed and the reason why it's flawed is because if you look at all of mankind not just today not just yesterday throughout all generations the vast majority of people that exist at all times are either average intelligence or below average right meaning that 90% of the population is either of average intelligence or lower which means that 10% are actually smart people so now so that means that if let's say you guys want to listen or you want to make your own lecture starting the lesson oh you started already started oh I'm sorry so if you have 90% of the people are either average or below average means fools right they're the ones that are calling the shots they're the ones that are making the election so let's say for example if we have let's say have a hypothetical scenario let's say you have 900,000 people that are completely crazy have no idea what's going on kind of similar to today but let's say they think that they should elect some guy that lives in the middle of Africa walks around in his underwear at all times and uh he only knows two words in English and they want him to run America right in a democracy he would win even though it makes no sense the 100,000 people that are smart that know what they're doing that are geniuses that are scientists that are explorers that are philosophers that people that actually even have a brain they can't do anything about it why because in the Democracy process you have to work off of a majority and a majority of people statistically are always average or below so that's why the Torah already knew this and there's no such thing as a democracy in the Torah now when you talk about politics today you have to understand that people are driven by their own self-interest self-interest that people have around the entire world it's not just here it's not just Israel it's anyway it's power it's money power money women all somehow related to each other in order for a politician to be successful they have to pretty much immediately leave their conscience at the door but they think that in the dorah MOs Moses in the last book he gave some Clues of how the government should be yes you have to have aut you have to have a he limited the king to have only that and that and that yes you have to have a bed de the bed de will imple will Implement and enforce laws but you have a king also but again it's not based off of the same election system that you have now there's no popularity syst for for for for bin for people for example when they elected the uh you know the the uh the top people in the country they didn't elect them based on who was popular who was not popular they elected them based on who knew the most amount of to who was pretty much the most extraordinary human being was the main thing and and it's not something that they weren't they weren't taking tests like in school their Torah was so holy that they were able to do things like for example you'll sometimes hear rabbis say that so and so was in in thear he he had the ability to bring back the Dead the fact is that anyone that's mentioned by name in the had enough Tor in him to actually bring back the dead because if they didn't have that they didn't qualify to have their name mentioned in the in the so there's several there several people in the that you don't know their name they're called different they're called something else uh they called a person or someone said they don't say they they don't refer to them by name even though they were you why because they didn't qualify they didn't didn't reach that level so again the so-called election process that and has is very very different than the human man-made type of process it's not based on popularity it's not based on money I mean if you look at some of these people like for example as a k was he was a huge huge righteous man but before anyone even knew he was a sadik he was as poor as it can be mhm his story is one day you know they in those days you'd have to pay a fee to go to uh to synagogue and to learn not like today where they pay you or perhaps a uh uh it's free like people complain you have to pay a couple dollars to go to besset in reality in those days if you didn't have the money you weren't allowed in why because it was a privilege back then and people treated it like it was a privilege so one day he love used to cut wood and sell the wood and one day he goes it's snowing there's no uh he can't cut any wood he goes to the B nesset The Bodyguard at the front door says okay where's the money he goes I don't have the money he goes I can't let you in no but I want a car he goes I can't that's that's the that's the rules can't let you in so he then went and climbed at the on the roof of the building cuz they had a little glass at the top of the roof wow and he laid down on the roof while it was still snowing just so he could hear the shield that they were giving in wiess it the next day shayon there were the two uh sages that were running the pretty much am and that uh and that uh part of the world and they were heading that uh that that M they come in in the morning and they see something on the roof something strange moving a little bit blocking the light but there's snow there's a lot of snow everywhere and then they realize that it's like a it's a body so they run upstairs one of them climbs to the roof sees that IL is under 3 feet of snow wow takes him off the roof carries him they take care of him and they ask him what are you doing he goes I had to listen to the sh he pretty much was willing to risk his life just to listen to a we're not talking about to listen to hasem speak to Moses on Al SII talking about just to listen to a and he aen became their uh their Prodigy and became the leader after that but he had nothing he had no money has nothing to do with money in today's politics it's all money it's all power it's all connections it's who you know and all it's not what you know it's who you know and back then it's what you know it's a very very big difference and that's why I tell you that in regards to politics unfortunately it's full of corruption and there's no way to win because in reality how many times have you heard of politician promise one thing yeah get elected and as soon as he's uh he's elected he's running the government he forgot everything he promised there is no question about there is the corruption everywhere today but not when was the last time you actually even saw someone that promised something during the election process that actually delivered during the actual time that he's uh a president or somebody rarely rarely do you ever see them actually do what they promised so it's nonsense and that's why when it comes down to the whole political stuff I spent a lot of my my time in the past following that stuff and I realized that uh there's no winning the only people that win are the people that are making those rules the rest of the world doesn't actually win uh but hopefully these people are better than the past we could always hope for better um and we'll see we'll see yeah let's go back let's go into this uh Paras today is uh this week's par uh uh this is the exciting part of the Tora this is when is leaving this is The Exodus this is pretty much the thing that all of us are supposed to mention in our every single day and remind our kids every day that we Hashem took us out of Egypt this is the event so now in the beginning of the parha last week's par we had the the last three plagues uh par said get out of here already he's had it with us he let us leave and uh not really let us leave but anyway he uh he said just uh uh they could leave and we started leaving and now we are on our way so in the beginning of here of this it says that so Moshe has to is taking uh has to go find Joseph now if you guys remember from a few sh few uh weeks ago maybe a month ago something like that we talked about Joseph Joseph lived 210 years before this par and Joseph was the viscero was the equivalent of the king of Egypt he made them very rich now because of that you know he was you know he uh was considered a idol they worshiped him so that's why they didn't let him leave the country when he wanted to get buried they didn't let him leave the country and he knew that so they buried him in Egypt so now Moshe is actually but he made his his brother's promise the other uh the 12 tribes he made them promise that promise me that when The Exodus happens you guys take my bones out of this uh filthy country s he was buried in the middle of the nth or something right so what happened is that now Moshe is looking for him and he can't find him now the only person that could possibly know where he's buried is someone that's been alive for over 200 years MH so M looks looks looks and said one of the people is a woman her name is s s is the uh niece AER was Joseph's brother Sak was his daughter and sah was Joseph's brother right when of the Trib one of the tribes Sak was his daughter okay okay Sak got a blessing from yov which is her grandfather which is uh Joseph's uh uh father to live forever why because what happened when after uh Joseph was gone for over 20 years at that point yov has been in sorrow and mourning for over 20 years even though the tah says that when you mourn for someone one of the things that Hashem gave us as far as one of the reasons why he gave us the ability to forget is because we don't have to mourn forever for bad things but in this particular case yov has been mourning for over 20 years every year that that Joseph is not around he's mourning and he's mourning and he's crying over it he lost his R KES and that's what you see in the in the palot in specific you see that through throughout the entire time that y uh Joseph is uh is not in his life he's mentioned as Yakov but when uh ysep comes back to his life or what before he left he's mentioned as Israel so now after the whole story of what happened with the 12 tribes when they went to uh Egypt to get food and then uh Joseph uh uh initially tricks them to think that uh you know he's trying to uh you know uh arrest one of their brothers anyway eventually he comes forth and he tells them that he is Joseph he's their brother and uh please go bring my father so now they know that their father has been crying about their brother for over 20 years they also know that their father is very old he's over 130 years old so if you tell somebody even if somebody's young you tell somebody you know either really good news or really bad news and shock them you can give them a heart attack that's actually part of the reason of why his great grandmother died Sarah died when she found out that uh uh didn't die so she played so now they told sah sah the daughter of right to play the the violin because they know that yov liked the violin he liked playing and she started playing it and started singing Joseph is alive and he's the king of Egypt Joseph is alive and he's the king of Egypt in the background he's the doesn't even know what he's listened to initially and then he hears this thing Joseph is alive the king of Egypt he doesn't even know where it's coming from and eventually as they get closer and closer to him she starts doing it louder and louder and they tell him the story and he's already gotten to a point where he is happy and he can accept this news and eventually he realizes that this is obviously true then he got his back because he became happy again and he uh um says now I can go see my son and then I can die right but before that he gives her a blessing because he realize what he she did she gives her a blessing to live forever so now when mosu to connect the story to mosenu mosu is looking for the bones and the tomb of Joseph he needs to find somebody that's been alive all these years and has been alive for a few hundred years already and she tells him listen the Egyptians has have buried the bones inside the Nile River another one of their false gods you have to get it now okay it's in the middle of the N River it's not exactly an easy place to do it so now mosenu goes to the Nile River and he throws a uh in Hebrew it's called mate it's like a little piece of let's say uh piece of wood or maybe metal with hashem's name on it and he throws it into the water and he says Al Al meaning rise bull rise why bull because Joseph sign was the bull and as soon as the as soon as that happens the tomb comes out of the water and mosu takes it another mid explains that what happened in this particular case that connects another part of the par which is another story I told you guys but it's still worth to say it again is that at that moment that uh he he he did this there was a um uh a person by name of mik that jumped into the water without Moshe seeing and took this m who is mik M was years years before what ended up happening is that uh Moshe saw what the Egyptians were doing to the uh to the Jews where if the Jews didn't build enough to meet their quota then the Egyptians would take their babies and throw them into under the Rocks instead of the Rocks so Moshe was revolted by this whole situation he's saying Hashem how many years how long is it going to be that they're going to be destroying our people and and and and just uh killing our babies hasm told them these are these babies areash they're they're they're they look cute but in reality their soul is is is for rash if they grow up they're going to become big rash again at the end of the day Moshe was still a human being so he said please let me save at least one he saves this one uh this one baby after hem says go ahead and he calls him M M from the root of the world is to crush so as M grew up and became the rash that hm said he's going to be so he followed Moshe all the time so when Moshe did this threw this m into the N River he chased after it took it mhe didn't know and later on what happens in uh you know in the coming up Paras we have the famous sin of the uh the golden calf now the golden calf people always ask how is it possible that they worshiped something that they put together I mean what are these people fools I mean they had uh Hashem give the 10 plagues on Egypt then he put split the sea and he they saw the uh I mean they saw so many different things how could they possibly think that this stupid thing that they put together is is God what ended up happening is that they thought the told them the Satan came to and told them that Moses died he actually even showed them a movie of the other Angels carrying him uh carrying his body to go bury it so they thought he died because there was a misunderstanding of when exactly he was going to come back there was a difference of six hours and what ended up happening is that uh they said well listen we need a different connection we need a connection to God we don't have another Moshe so they go to Aaron like build us an idol build us something so Aaron didn't fall for this he knew that Moshe is coming back but he's like okay I'm going to I need to buy as much time as possible because if I tell them no they're going to kill me so at least let me ask them for something that they're not going to give me so he says give me all of your gold cuz he thinks listen when you ask somebody for all of their money they're usually not going to give it to you usually you go to you know sometimes you go to people say listen let me $50 that I want to give it to you so imagine if said give me all of your money but to his surprise the really took over and he pretty much put it into their head that they have to do this and everyone just started taking their Jewelry off of their bodies and started throwing it to him like immediately just gave him everything so they started throwing it into the fire so anyway Aaron is saying okay no problem yeah throw it into the fire the gold has to melt then we have to put something together it's going to take it's going to take a few days then this rash mik the baby that's no longer a baby that stole that piece throws the piece into it and he also says Al the same thing the same code that mosu says said to uh and what Rises then a bull a bull Rises and not only is a bull Rises where it's built already but the bull speaks he says so this are what Mak them believe in this you have not only it happening at once when no one had to build this calf this bull but on top of it it's talking and what is it saying it's saying Anem it says I'm God so it's not exactly like we always thought as little kids that they're all stupid and they just uh put something together you could buy at uh one of these Chinese stores and they started worshiping it there's a lot more to to the details of the story and either way it's it's a sin that there's no the kazal says that there's no suffering throughout all of the generations that am is has that part of the reason of why they're suffering is because of that sin meaning that sin was so great that Hashem couldn't give us the entire punishment at once so you had to split it throughout all of time so every time you see Jews suffering today last week you see people getting murdered see getting people attacked you seen the missiles getting thrown in Israel you see anti-Semitism all over the world Rising higher than it's been since World War II the the all of these horrendous stories we've had through our history every one of them part of the reason is this particular sin which is the golden CF so now going back to this week's Pasha Moshe gets the uh the you know YF and he brings it with him and one of the things that uh uh the mid says about this specific issue is that Moshe was the only one that carried him no one else did and it was specifically done that way uh and Moshe got a very very big and that's actually part of the reason why hasem ended up being the one that buried Moshe renu and not people you know because no one knows where Moshe is buried one of the reasons is because Hashem buried him and the other reason is because Hashem knew that he's the Great of all prophets and if he if anyone knew where his grave was they would also turn him into an idol so the uh no no nation in the world disputes Moshe even the Christians or the Islam or the Catholics or anyone everyone knows who mosenu is everyone knows that he's the closest one that's ever closest person to God ever in history no one disputes it anyone that believes in the uh in in religion that's a uh is founded based on Torah knows that Moshe is number one so hasm knew this and he said listen if if people knew where he was they would start worshiping him they would turn him into something like some other people have turned other people into uh so Hashem said that he's too holy for me to allow that moving on am keeps going they go into the desert they complain every chance that they get unfortunately because again this is all new to them but uh you know they're used to suffering but they're also used to knowing they suffering you know there it's sometimes it's a uh even if you're going through a hard time you get used to it and it's still suffering but when you have something new it feels like it's the worst thing ever so they've been suffering for so many years that they almost got used to it so now when they have these other issues which seem like they're not a big deal like for example first thing is they tell mosenu we don't have any water what did you bring us to this desert to uh to kill us bring us back to to Egypt now if you think about this logically it makes no sense whatsoever if hasem brought over the last year he showed you all of these Miracles hit the uh you know pharaoh and all of his Nation destroyed the number one nation in the world in an instant just for you he took you out of out of Egypt Against All Odds he showed you miracles every day you're seeing a pillar of fire throughout the entire day and a cloud behind you where you don't have to change your clothes you don't have to take a shower some people even give a m to say that people didn't even need to uh uh to have a uh go to the bathroom so Miracles are pretty much 24 hours a day so you think Hashem went through all of this just so you die from thirst makes no sense but that's again the logical explanation of it is that again they were used to a certain type of suffering so as soon as something else didn't come up they they they they got overw worried but you know in the beginning Hashem is understands he understands the whole time but you know initially they're not getting rebuked by mosenu for uh you know for uh for complaining but later on as they start complaining about other things it becomes it it crosses the barrier uh um then PA pretty much realizes what just happened he realizes that all of am has just left he decides to chase Amel and it specifically says that he took um oh no this is actually first forwarded so okay so um po takes he was so confident that he's going to bring them back and win this war that he took all of his commanders all of his number one people and there was 600 of them and he put all of the wealth of Egypt on their horses you made him really really fancy plus all of his soldiers thousands and thousands of soldiers they started chasing am Isel am Isel sees uh these people from from the distance and they start screaming to uh to Moshe what's uh why did you bring us here did you bring us again did you bring us to die here what there weren't enough graves in Egypt you brought a see to die in the desert that's Wise Guy they didn't have a uh they didn't have much remorse on their leader yeah yeah that's actually if is one of the reasons why we suffered in Egypt it said that am was created so difficult and so stubborn that in order to soften them to become bearable they had to go through suffering so imagine now the way we are right now imagine if didn't suffer to beable yeah so now we have the whole situation of what happened at the Sea of reeds so hasem says to so M starts he sees all the people are crying so M starts praying to Hashem hasm says what are you crying to me for tell your people to go forward it's not the time to cry there's a time to pray and there's a time to move forward what do you mean move forward he goes go into the sea take the stick and hit the uh hit the uh SE and I'll open it for you so now at this moment the midash says that the angel of Egypt each nation has an angel every every nation has an angel the angel of Egypt comes to Hashem and he says why why would you split the ocean for them they're all ID worshippers and he goes right and then the angel F comes no no but they're going to get the toah why why you said there are other because they were they didn't do the the only thing there is a uh so what ended up happening is that am got to the 49th level of tum in Egypt meaning they were at the there were 50 if there are 50 levels 50 is the the worst meaning that it's unrecoverable they made pretty much every sin with the exception of a few things of what they kept they kept their language they still spoke Hebrew they kept their clothing and but the biggest reason of why um the biggest reason of why they ended up being saved is because of the women not because of the men the women still were modest and the women still had big faith in Hashem the men have too many flaws so the reason why so Hashem says okay maybe yes maybe the idol worshippers mhm but look at these women so the sea is split well actually before the sea is split the uh first person that goes into the ocean and hears about this whole thing is a uh a guy by name ofon goes into the water as soon as he sees Moshe says go forward sea hasn't opened yet had such strong faith that he starts going into the ocean and he keeps going keeps going keeps getting gets all the way up to his nose the key as far as had such strong faith if hasem said it I'm going he's not going you know he did all he he was he realized what what happened here he's going straight s said go straight I'm going to go straight and that's actually why they say that one of the uh to um to make a couple come together they say that it's as difficult as as the splitting of the ocean why it's based on went into the water and he reached the water reached all the way up to his nose and they said that in order for someone to find the right Z the right mate in order for them to succeed it all depends on how high their nose is meaning if they have their nose up in the air it's going to be very very difficult for them to finally find a mate because was tall so it took a while for the water to reach his nose but if he was shorter and his nose was lower then he would it wouldn't really be so deep for everybody else same thing when somebody's trying to find a mate if someone's trying to find a mate he's too picky and he wants this and he wants that and he wants it to have money and he wants to be a superstar and he wants it to have a disc car and he wants to have to be a professor while she's a doctor and he wants all these amazing things it's going be very very difficult for that person to find a woman or vice versa for a woman if she wants him to have a mansion already ready for her and a new wardrobe every Tuesday don't be piy I'll be picky it matters you know there are certain things that matter and there are certain things that don't matter if it's material it doesn't matter MH and that's what people have to wake up that's that's part of the reason why we what we learn that's one of the things we learn from so now happens and one of the things that we learn as little kids is that the ocean split into two rambam explains it differently rambam says that it was actually the ocean open into 12 not one one for each tribe and not only that they didn't go to the other side there was actually a circle meaning that they went in one end and they came back to the same place they came out to the same side it was like a uh like um ground like U turn something like that yeah like a rainbow like a rainbow he Compares it to a rainbow 12 of them so a lot of people a lot of researchers today always saying wait how did they get there it was too long it was too this it was too that well they didn't get to the other end they didn't go to the other side they came back to the same side so now so they came back to Egypt no they came back to the same side they just continued walking on that desert and eventually went to mount siai okay so the egyp Ians the Amisa is going through Egyptians follow them everyone knows the story Amisa gets back onto a solid land the Egyptian all the water goes on to the Egyptians and then the next part is very interesting which is a lot of the you know what ended up happening is that Hashem promised am that they're going to become very very wealthy now they already became wealthy from what they took from the Egyptians before they left but on top of this because the Egyptians were so uh prideful and they put so much gold on their horses and all of their wealth literally the uh the uh the Water spit all of them out and all of their Jewels were on the shore and the amount of gold that was on the shore on the beach was even more than what AM is took from Egypt and they said they became even wealthier from that than they they became from uh the original one so the question is why did hasem do it this way the reason is because when am was in Egypt hasem asked Moshe please tell am to go ask each one of their Egyptian neighbors to borrow silverware or gold or something borrow it so the question is why why is hasem asking M for a favor why don't you just tell him listen go get it or what's the story behind this so hasem says I promised abah ainu that they're going to suffer for a long time but I also I also promised them that when they leave Egypt they're going to have they not going to leave empty-handed so I don't want them I don't want this sadik that's with me over here in shamim to have come to me with any complaints so go get some of this gold so the next question is so why did he do it again why did he give them even more after so I heard this actually from Rabbi it's very very interesting it's a good story there was one time there was two Nations going uh going to war and one of the Kings saying you know what instead of both of our Nations killing each other and all of our soldiers are dying and everything let's just you pick your s best soldier I'll pick my best soldier we'll make a big hole in the middle of the field they're going to fight and whoever wins going to throw the other one into the hole and the Other Nation becomes their slave s so the guy that came up with the idea brings his best soldier he's muscular he's big he's strong amazing but then the king that came up with this idea he sends his Soldier and then he sees the other side he he wanted to just he just came into a shock because he sees this giant that makes his guy look like a little kid himself what happened what did I do with stupid idea that I come up with he doesn't have a chance he's the size of his arm what could I do here so I know you have this big hole they start uh fighting within a few seconds the big guy is not even trying takes this little guy throws him on his shoulder and starts carrying him he's about 100 meters from the hole starts carrying him to the hole so the king that came up with this idea he's looking at he's like wait a minute my Soldier is not even trying at least fight try something no m try I know he's bigger than you I know son but come on try at least he sees his guy's just sitting over there waiting for the guy to take him to the hole 100 M 90 M 80 M 70 M the king is is he wants to vomit already goes okay every 10 meters I'm thinking of myself of more treatment bad treatment I'm going to get as a slave for this filthy King over here 60 M the guy's not even trying he starts screaming at him try try nothing nothing's happening 40 30 10 the guy can't even look he looks right with the last few meters just because he wants to see what happens at the end and all of a sudden this Soldier that's car that's being carried the whole time jumps off and pushes the other guy into the hole so later on they win later on they have a big party they're celebrating and uh they're celebrating this Soldier he goes and the King tells him he goes listen you know what yes yes you won good for you and good for our nation but you really I really should I should punish you why King why should you punish me he goes because I don't understand what was this whole thing why didn't you at least try for 100 meters he's carrying you and you didn't even try why goes your highness when I saw him I knew I didn't have a chance so I figured that if I fight him over there even if I somehow drop him I can't carry him 100 m to the uh to the hole so let him carry me get him tired and then once he's really tired after carry me for 100 m he's going to lose some energy I could make a trick and throw them in there that's tuju is using the force using the force of the other one so the same thing here with this par where hasem said I'm planning on giving am is all of this wealth but why should they carry all of it let the Egyptians carry it for them so the Egyptians took all of their wealth on their horses they went into the ocean Hashem stripped them of all of their wealth including their lives and gave it to the Israelis that's it I'm already planning on giving them the gift why should I make them carry that gift let the Egyptians carry it for them how did they carry for 40 years 40 years is different story once you once you see all your wealth you immediately get extra strength why you never you never heard the story of the uh of from RAB mrai with the guy with the diamonds one time a guy tells his friend he goes listen I need a favor from you goes why what do you need he goes I need you to carry this bag full of diamonds to my uh cousin I'm busy I'm busy okay fine no I'll do it for you he goes okay it's at the top of the mountain guy takes it goes up the mountain little by little and he's watching him from the binoculars he's seeing he's suffering he's really hates the whole thing why did I decide to do this I a stupid guy when I'm doing this guy right now I'm wasting my whole day his wife calls him goes what what do you want call me right now I don't have time to talk hangs up on her he's kicking the Rocks he's upset that he's wasting his day it's so hot after a while the guy calls him why he watching him on the binoculars he goes oh by the way I forgot to tell you goes what he goes once you get to the top of the mountain my cousin only wants one Diamond the rest of it is for you wow because immediately becomes happy starts throwing the bag around starts calls his wife hey honey how come you don't call more often I miss you everything is great all of a sudden he's running up the mountain same thing so same thing with said you know initially it was a little difficult to carry it but once they realize it's all theirs it's a little easier a little easier so now the water crashes on the Egyptians Israel becomes even richer than what they were before and then they sing a very famous song for uh to Hashem that uh pretty much tells the whole story of what happened so you think that by now they saw enough Miracles like we say in uh in P like it's enough there should be Believers by now unfortunately the expectations never end and as soon as something wrong happens they can't restrain themselves and they start complaining and they're not complaining about Moshe only they're complaining about Hashem so again they have this water issue they go to a uh a place of water but the water is bitter and they tell Moshe what did you bring us here to suffer to die we're all going to die we can't drink this water Hashem makes another miracle he tells Moshe take this tree which the tree itself was bitter but throw it into the uh water and it'll become sweet again another miracle for them no big deal like it's nothing but again they keep keep pushing keep pushing amen amen but this time Hashem is already getting uh he's being tested regularly nowm here after this uh Bitter Water I says something that we say at the end of our every day that even if you don't play pray in sh you should say this it's very very important uh because it's in essence the foundation of amuna so anyone that hasuna what isauna is really believing that hem is in control of everything now in life we have a lot of different tests one of the most difficult tests in anyone's life is Health that's why people always say oh as long as you have health you have everything most people don't really know what that means because most people haven't really been sick I can tell you from experience if you have health you almost have everything but if you don't have health you have nothing Nowa is pretty much believing that Hashem is in control of all of it but hem gives us a message here that cannot be more direct understandable and literal of what you need to do in order to be healthy wait you mean is not only to believe that there is God but you have to believe also that he is in control that's what you mean yes is to believe believe in God only no such thing without believing that he's in control because people believe in God without believing is in control yeah they're like the Greeks the Greeks the Greek philosophers Greek philosophers that's what they believe it's not that's different God it's not the same God we always say if Hashem is AEM meaning if hem is theem of the Torah he's AEM all the time if it's AEM but it's only AEM that's convenient to people where they say like the Greeks the Greeks the Christians and the Jews had a battle meaning a debate in this book that's documented a Kali uh and it's a uh a lot of people say that they're uh the Guin are from that Nation but anyway the point is that the um the Greeks had this belief that they said yes there had to be some type of Creator but he left he created everything and he doesn't care about your day-to-day life who are you kills who cares about you you little human being if he created this Galaxy and all these planets and all this amazing stuff why would he care about our day-to-day life why would I care why would he care if I go to the bathroom and I do a prayer after I do the bathroom why would he care if I do a prayer if I eat the cookie why would he care if I go to Sho don't go to that's the belief mhm and unfortunately a lot of people to this day believe this they say yeah yeah I believe in hasem but it's in my heart meaning what are they really saying to you what are they say what do the Greeks have in common with those people if they believed in the Hashem of the Torah that means that they would have to believe that Hashem is in control of everything and that also means that they have to do what he says it obligates you if he's in control of everything and everything that he said in this tah is true then you have to follow what it says but if I don't believe if I say yeah he exists but I don't believe that he's really here he he went he's on vacation then that means that okay I'm not going to tell people that I'm crazy and I believe in some bang or some Big Bang Theory like we talked about last week so I'm not crazy but at the same token I don't have to keep kosher or keep this or keep that I don't have to do these blessings so it's rational for them to to they're rationalizing their own belief so that's a different Hashem that's not the real hasem why because if again like I said that cannot be because Hashem specifically tells us otherwise so if you already believe that Hashem is the one that is the Hashem of the Jews then you can't say that he's only Hashem sometimes makes no sense if you already believe that there's a God we pass that great where did this God come from how do we know about this God oh it's in these books which book Torah Old Testament whatever you want to call it so it's AEM of the Jews right yes so if this is the god this God over here says you have to do certain things you have to keep Shabbat you have to keep Koshi you have keep keep you have to keep you know list of things you have to keep I did this I did that I took you out of Egypt no no no no I don't believe in the rest of it what do you mean you don't believe in the rest of it then it's not the same you can't just believe in part of it so again so the Greeks had the same same argument as secular Jews today or most people in the world today where they're rationalizing something because on one hand they don't want to appear crazy but on the other hand they don't really want to do the rest of it they don't want to feel obligated that they have to do the rest of this stuff the the Jew took from them actually H the Jews took from them the Jews are still taking from them today yeah the today not just seculars secular people people that are not keeping the one who don't the on they are lazy they don't want to do anything God made the world some someone someone pretty much 99% of the uh you know people out there um the thing is though is that with the most people are secular because they don't know sometimes it's because they don't want to know and they don't have the you know they just don't want to feel obligated to do all of these things so they don't bother finding out and sometimes it's just because they just want to live their own life life with no care in the world and they think that in reality they believe that they are a mini God meaning that they're in control of their own destiny they believe in luck they believe in uh you know in uh you know people having a certain Fortune where everything has a reason all these different statements that people make make up but they believe in more of a philosophical type of mindset believing in God also means that you have to find out who he is what he is where you know you have to find out a lot it obligates you to do a lot of different things it's a big commitment and again most people don't want to make that commitment and unfortunately they they end up living very empty lives usually what they what happens is the Muslim also think that God is here every day yes like we believe they believe in the same God but they still a difference they believe in the same God only difference is that they have a second book that a guy by the name of Muhammad created and this book teaches them about the same God but he also tells them that they are continuation of what Hashem said and in essence part of their they're The Messengers of Hashem not the Jews anymore just like the Christians say are saying that they're The Messengers of Hashem not uh not the Jews I think that the Muslim got the the evil in them I mean Muhammad was the evil he was like somebody that came was he came to test he came to test the real people real believers no but the truth is that the actual the actual the actual name of they call him God the funny thing is that most of the evil doesn't actually even come from the Quran it comes from people most people don't read it like for example the one that they say wrote it did Quan the one that the one that said that wrote it for example Muhammad he actually was illiterate he couldn't read he couldn't write he told somebody else to write it right but most of the hate I'm not saying that all of the hate I'm saying most of the hate that you see today as far as Jihad as far as blowing yourself up and all of that stuff that's man-made that's people are putting that into other people's head and they're saying that the Quran says something specific like that in it in reality it's quite different I'm not saying that it's good what I am saying saying is that people are ignorant so they don't actually read it themselves so they believe if somebody tells them listen the Quran says that you have to go kill 20 Jews and say oh it does okay great I go do it because he's too lazy to read 20 pages to see if it actually says it it's the same thing with a lot of Jews they say no no no I don't believe in all of these things it sounds uh too mystical to me I don't believe that Shabbat is really that important I think that once I get up to Shem and I are going to get along okay if you spend a little bit of time reading the to while you'll see what Hashem specifically says literally not interpretations not translations not something mystical not from a rabbi not from Moses even not from from hasem specifically says it countless times in the Torah what he thinks about Shabbat one of the pal that talks about Shabbat is this pal if a Jew took a few minutes to look up those verses you'll see what hasm thinks about Shabbat but most people don't want to do it they know no it's the rabbi's fault it's this it's that they blame everybody else except themselves spend a few minutes it takes a few minutes to find out these verses and you see what hasm thinks about Shabbat you you'll see what Hashem thinks about driving to sh on Shabbat you'll see you see what Hashem thinks about smoking on Shabbat you'll see what hasm thinks about eating Kil you you know all of these things that we say are laws of Judaism people think that rabbis made up all this stuff no but in reality all of this stuff comes from this this this this to of course it say yeah but first need to believe in this to for these people so that's that's that's the essence of all our discussion that's the essence of everything it's it's the belief yeah but here the the difference between Judaism and all other religions is that Hashem is telling us to know that he is AEM not to believe he is AEM meaning I want you to know that I am AEM not to believe he didn't say only once in all T he says believe that I am AEM the rest of the times he says know that I am AEM yeah in all other books and all other religions it says you know you have to have faith you have to believe in AEM what's the difference in believing versus knowing and then Rabbi M talks about this a lot in pretty much almost every one of his lectures when you believe something that means you also believe that you could be wrong so for example if a doctor comes to you and says listen we're going to do a surgery and we believe this is going to work which which means that they don't know for sure it's going to work so there's a chance that it may not work whether it's 1% chance or 90% chance it's not going to work is irrelevant the point is there's an element is a part of this whole equation that is pure Faith they say that we hope it's going to work but when you if they told you we know this is going to work like for example I know that if you take one a couple of Advils it's going to take away your headache I know for a fact cuz I gave it to a thousand people and all thousand people didn't have a headache anymore so I know for a fact this is going to work or I know that you guys are all in front of me why cuz I see you I know this it's not that I believe you're in front of me I see so hasm says you need to know that I am AEM W if you study Tor you find enough information about hem about his design if you just pay attention to the world around you all of the scientific things we've talked about over the uh last several weeks you see that there has to be an intelligent design and all of these things are mentioned in theah one of the things we're going to talk about in a little bit is the uh issue of kosher and there's a lot of surprises about the issue of kosher that most people and by most I mean probably 99% of the world if not more don't know most people blame the whole issue of kosher on rabbis and a conspiracy and money and things like that and there's a lot more to it than that and you'll see in a second so going back to this specific verse as far as what hasm is telling us in this verse it says okay so this is the verse is talking about that after screams to Hashem about this uh water they uh they You Know M takes theem tells him to take the stick throw it into the water turn sweet so then hem responds so he said meaning God he's saying God said if you hearken diligently to the voice of Hashem your God and do what is just in his eyes in his eyes not in our eyes in his eyes give ear to his Commandments and observe all of his decrees not just do whatever you feel like it you have his command hear his Commandments do what he says so it's not like a lot of people say no no I believe in Hashem in my heart Hashem is not telling you to believe in your heart he says specifically observe all his decrees so it's not just one thing it's multiple than any of the diseases that I placed in Egypt and Kaz says that all of the diseases that existed were in Egypt any of the diseases that I placed in Egypt I will not bring upon you for I am AEM your healer in so many words it's very very simple to understand you don't want to get sick listen to Hashem very simple and Hashem is saying this this is not uh Rashi or it's uh some other genius Rabbi or some philosopher this is AEM specifically this is in the Torah so when it talks abouta it's very important to understand that yes there are a lot of things that we don't understand of why they happen most things we don't understand why they happen as they're happening it's important to havea during those times how do you developa in those times by learning about what Hashem has already done in the past look at his track record look at what he's done for other people yes suffering has been a part of every human being's life there's not a human in existence that hasn't gone through suffering whether it's money or it's family or it's death or disease or countless other things that we we can't we run out of time if we mention all the bad things that happen in life suffering is part of life end of story there is no such thing as no suffering in life but there is such a thing as knowing how to deal with it there's two there's two possibilities with suffering it's either you cry yourself to sleep every night or you try to understand what you need to do in order to deal with it and fix it some things you can't fix as far as let's say if it's death or it's disease or something like or even money overnight it's not something that you can fix right away but you can do something about it by learning that there is what AEM has told us to do about these things there's a rule book there's what hasem is telling us how to deal with these things praying there's learning tah there is things that hasem specifically told us to do during these times of Crisis so the next thing that we learn about in this par is the Mana the man that hasem gave to am man was in essence this heavenly bread that would fall from the you know from the heavens from the sky every day and hasem told us listen 6 days a week you're going to go to sleep you're going to wake up in the morning the man would have already been it's already on the ground and it's waiting for you it's wrapped and the heat from the sun will melt the uh the top of it so you could take it out and uh also the distance of the man from each person will depend on how righteous that person is how much amuna they have that it's actually going to happen if the person was not you know not very righteous they would have to walk a few blocks to get it if the person was very righteous it would arrive right at their door the whole aspect of man was a big one big test so you think about what do you mean one big test Hashem is feeding them from Heaven how could that be even a test imagine Hashem sent you food every day to your front door you woke up in the morning and you have this you watch this wow and it tastes what like whatever you want and you don't have to pay for it and even the B to do a blessing or not to do blessing is debatable because technically they call but what do you say gluten free gluten free no actually the sages debate the the sages debate whether you actually have to do a blessing on it or not because means brings the uh bread from the ground this is not from the ground it's from heaven so they say maybe that's one of the Bas that they have so all there's a miracle every day every day you go and Hashem says 6 days a week don't keep the man of today for tomorrow because tomorrow it'll all turn into worms trust that I will give it to you every day but only do it six days a week because on Shabbat I'm not giving you m so on Friday take a double portion said though so the question is how come hasem did this there there a couple things we're going to learn from the man first thing is the issue of parasa which is the root of most people's problems starts with parasa most people spend their entire life chasing money everyone wants to be rich and even if they say no no no I don't care about being rich they're still trying to make a million dollars they're still if if you give them an opportunity to make more money than they're making today 99 out of 100 people if not 99.9 people are going to say yes I want to make more money most people will not say no no I don't want to make more money everyone wants to make more it's one of the things that's part of human nature hasem created us this way to always want more M says you give someone 100 they want 200 you give them 200 they want 400 you give them 400 they'll want 800 it'll never end everyone that's rich will always want more so in this particular case there's no work obviously but Hashem did something bizarre why is he giving them man every day instead of just saying one shipment Hey guys you're going to be in a desert for 40 years I'm going to give you a truck load each year full of M and that's it oh you know what I'll make another miracle okay I have the pillar of uh the cloud I have the pillar of fire I'll make a pillar of man every time you want to go just take a little piece what's the big deal you have 24 hours a day whenever you feel like eating eat why does it have do it every day and the reason is Hashem wanted them to first of all learn where it's coming from and second of all develop the fate and developing a faith and the key is to pray to him every day because in essence even though they knew it's coming they saw it coming for the last week if it's coming for the last week it's going to come next week there's always an element of doubt that people have about P people are always worried you have sometimes people that are multi-millionaires and they're more worried than the guy that works for them that makes $75,000 a year how is that possible what are you so worried about oh maybe there's going to be a depression maybe somebody's going to take my customers maybe this maybe that but you already have $100 million what are you so worried about they're more worried than the guy that's barely paying his bills and the guy that's barely paying his bills also worried he goes okay maybe he's going to fire me he's so worried maybe he's so worried he to start firing everyone everyone's always worried where the bread's going to come where is going to come from it's always an element of doubt and even though they're getting bread from sham every day they still had an element of doubt and how do we know that right in the beginning right off the bat Hashem tolds tells them take one and whatever you need you're going to have you're going to be you're going to be sa you're going to be satisfied whatever you take is going to be enough for you you don't have to take 50 of them take one don't keep it for tomorrow eat whatever you have and people still try keeping it they they figured maybe it's not going to come tomorrow so it says really in the literal part it says you know they kept it and it turns into worms and on top of he says don't go on Shabbat to go look for it just take whatever you take on Friday two times and that's it and some people didn't know that uh they were supposed to take two for Friday Moshe actually didn't tell them so by the time they got back to the house their portion doubled by itself hasem made a double so even though they didn't know it's still Hashem is obviously providing you again there was a mistake made miscommunication you didn't take two but by the time you got to your house you have to well more than you need still you had people go on Shabbat looking for man so if back then they had doubt when hasem is Hand feeding them who are we we have doubt but that's the that's that's Whata is abouta is to know that hem will provide whether you want to or not he's going to provide and the key is to live a life with where you don't have to necessarily be so worried about your for some people he doesn't provide he provides for everyone how about the poor poor is provided if they're alive they they're being provided for they're not living off of air so you mean they're just suffering right everyone whether whether someone is Rich or poor is dictated by hasem whether someone is going to eat a steak every night or they're going to eat uh beans is based on Hashem decides that but either way they'll provide and a good story about that I think I told you guys a week or two weeks ago is the uh story with theim in the hair you guys remember okay it's good we'll say it again so one time there was a Coen told his wife listen I uh I need to leave town but I need you to take care of the business and she was okay well the business he was in those days it was very very uh a lot of different strange jobs in those days one of his jobs was he had to check everyone's hair and she goes why what are you checking for goes the hair is very very precise the sweat when someone sweats you know they're healthy why because the sweat is what actually is creating the hair the sweat is the hair's food she goes okay so what are you checking for you have to check if there's ever a time where two hairs are growing out of the same hole she goes why because he says because if they are that person is going to go blind I think you told us a story yeah I said I told the story but still worth to say it again so what happens so she says okay so you're telling me that you need to go out of town to make more money but at the same time you're also telling me that hasem is providing each and every hair its own hole so he could feed it specifically so it doesn't have to share its p with another hair because if it ever has to share his panasa with another hair there's a big disaster he says yes she goes how does this make any if Hashem is worried enough about each hair having upon asai he's not going to worry about us making p over here you have to go out of town makes no sense same thing here so as far as when it comes down to Rich or poor is not up to us it's dictated in whether you will make a lot or lose a lot you can do things to improve your situation but whether you're going to eat steak or you not going to eat steak hem is going to provide for everyone the key is to make sure that we have AA why have AA because if someone has AA they can work a normal job or difficult job it doesn't matter but they'll always know that they have to make time for work as one part of their life and then there toah if someone thinks that they're in control of their own destiny as far far as making their own money and they're in control of making the millions not AEM and they're in control of getting new customers not AEM they're in control of closing the deal not AEM then that's the person that's going to work 24 hours a day he's not going to see the family he's not going to see uh it's like most people you don't have to feel bad this is the point of having these shields is to to learn what we're doing wrong not what we're doing right if I was just here telling you guys oh you're sadik you're the greatest in the world good job for being you you're perfect human beings what would you even come here for you could just make a recording and listen to it every day that's it right we have to learn what we're doing wrong in life not what we're doing right what we're doing right is fine you already know what you're doing right right what we're doing wrong because if we know we're doing wrong then we know what we have to fix so if we make time for Tor that means that shows AEM that we know that he's the one that's going to give me P but if every time there's aure we're always is going to have an excuse of why we're late or why we're not going to show up or why we can't do it today or why this or why that there's always a problem there's always a problem to learn T not just for this sh or anything I'm talking about anything anytime it comes to to there's always a reason not to do it then when we're telling ashem in so many words Hashem listen you didn't give me enough so I have to do the extra and it's a very good story that uh my cousin said in his in his shield one time uh this uh woman had a son he was a um wine maker very poor wine maker ran out of wine didn't even have enough money to get more wine to get more grapes to make more wine so the mother starts praying to Hashem Hashem Hashem hasem listen make my son a businessman so he can become very rich and pay up all of his debts doesn't happen a little time passes and she finds out that doctors make more money than businessmen forget about my my last idea listen just make him a doctor all the problems will go away little time passes she finds out no lawyers lawyers oh they make so much more money than doctors Hashem forget about my last idea make my son a lawyer we'll get rid of all the problems nothing happens all of a sudden one day somebody knocks on the door they give him a uh a legal document they said listen if you don't come up with this much money by tomorrow we're taking you and your entire family to jail she goes back to praying and a few minutes later another guy knocks on the door who is this he goes listen I heard you make a uh you make alcohol I'd like for you to make me beer no no I don't I don't have I don't have says he doesn't have anything he doesn't have any Goods he doesn't have any any goes okay I know you Jews I know how you are you don't have that means you want more than the average price of 50 fine I'll give you 100 there's no no no beit I don't have I don't have okay fine 200 no I don't have I I just I'm not telling you that 500 I'll give you just give me some beer so the guy goes downstairs he goes okay one sec goes downstairs he goes I don't know 500 right now it's enough to live the next 6 months 500 maybe there a little miracle he sees nothing nothing nothing he sees at the back back of the thing there's a barrel with just some figs in it in the bottom dried up from a long time ago maybe let's put some water in it give it to the guy maybe he likes it who knows he puts some water in it gives it to the guy wow this is the best beer I ever had listen I'm about to have a party next month I want you to deliver a thousand of these barrels and I'm willing to pay you double the price of what I just paid deal so the mother says to Hashem ah meaning you knew it even I didn't come up with this idea as if hm needed our help to uh to uh credit for it you see what so the point is is that hasem doesn't need our help to make panasa if we are entitled to make panasa we're going to make p as long as you're worried about panasa that means you also need to be worried realistically about your not about your P an old friend of mine Dave puit businessman very successful retired um uh said this thing we had this meeting one time and he said this thing to this woman and it's the best quote I've heard in a long time you know from from the business world and she was telling about all those problems that she's having in the business and he says to her you have the right amount of worry but you're worried about the wrong thing meaning it's good that you're worried but you're worried about the wrong thing so if as a Jew if you're worried about p in reality what you should be worried about is youra because in essence what you're saying if I'm worried so much abouta he's not doing his job so he can't do it so I have to fill in for him you're going to fill in for so that's that's one thing the next thing also about Mana since since man is something that uh we hear a lot about as kids and it's imag you know amazing food and you know that we can't even imagine we put together some things that I think is amazing that when you're secular you never think of in fact some people that are Rel you know semi- religious where maybe they keep Shabbat but not necessarily all of the other mitv also don't pay attention to a lot of this stuff you go to a store and you see that there is orange juice and the orange juice is not Kosher why would orange that you think sure why would orange juice not be kosher then you see a cheese then you see a cheese cheese cheese comes from a cow not Kosher why would cheese not be kosher this part of this reason is actually Daniel's fault I I look more into this stuff oh yeah yeah you get part of the credit my friend get all the credit as um cheese white cheese wouldn't be koser in is a bread that looks like a baguette why would potato chips not be coacha why would bread not be it's made of pork fact I almost vomited why would beer not beban bag oh anything Cuban is make how about this most food in the world has an element of pork in it or some other type of animal or a bug bug bug okay so it will see so he give you some details you could you pass this along you'll see some details and you can keep this stuff so first of all as far as cheese why would cheese not be uh kosher there's something called renit renit is an enzyme that comes from the stomach of of animals most of the time it's either a uh lamb or Pig and this is part of the stomach lining of of of these animals that they actually use for number one for flavoring of the cheese two is to keep the cheese put the cheese together so anytime you see cheese if it's not Kosher it has it 100% of the time it has what renit renit 100% of the time meaning that when you're eating non kosher cheese not only are you violating the Tora of eating non koser but you're also violating another rule the to of eating milk and meat so you have a lot of Jews that say no no no Rabbi don't worry I eat always Kosher meat but sometimes I eat pizza what's the big deal we talked about the pizza a lot of times now we have something new I don't eat pizza anymore rabi don't worry I'm only going to eat at the uh Applebees I'm going to have one of those cheese sandwiches but they make best sandwiches it's kosher right I'm sorry it's not why because that cheese that you have has meat in it also and that's just a reality next this is renit renit isn't everything if it's not Kosher it has it there is a vegetarian type and those are always going to be you're always going to find it being kosher uh then there's something called lyine lyine uh it's another form of a uh it comes from duck feathers and human hair okay duck feathers and human hair which is collected from which is collected from hair yeah hair salons around the world sell the hair that they you know you guys you guys went to a barber shop right right you know you always see the people you know sweeping the floor all the hair okay that hair is not thrown out in the garbage they sell it big places no not the India to here companies here no from India they food food flavoring hair flavor hair hair is a FL is a very very common flavor either it's coming from humans or it's coming from ducks with the lice also it's coming from ducks or uh humans or uh or um Hogs is another species of pig gelatin I'm sure you guys know what that is right gelatin it's in a jelly most of the time it's in jelly things it's also in uh frosted marshmallows Frosted Mini Wheats even Frosted Mini pills pills you're allowed to take because the gelatin that's used for pills is flavorless meaning it doesn't add any flavor whereas a food like Frosted Mini Wheats or any marshmallow or these jelly things the gel that the the gelatin in there actually adds to the flavor there's so r that gelatin is in the pill you're allowed to have it huh Skittles Skittles it's not Kosher there are some that are Kosher you find it in the kosher store yeah there is some kosher cuz I look skitt Skittles Skittles Skittles it's like sour like almost like you know the all different flavors but it's also in things that you would never think like Frosted Mini wheat it's a very popular cereal it doesn't have marshmallows it has gelatin in it again it's a uh there's even pre-made spinach but no no no but this is this is a big part of the uh food not one of 60 if it was 1 out 6 they would make it kosher uh so hair the problem with most of these things is that you would never think that they're you know to even look for this stuff because they don't call it human hair as part of the ingredients or pig as part of the ingredients they call it different col names like e120 or L6 or some other red red number four something code name that you would think is a chemical of some kind it's not so next thing is as far as Beatles we said this to Beatles but Shimon wasn't here maybe Tomo wasn't here either Rabbi Shai said this uh you guys ever hear of sunkiss the orange juice Sun orange Sun okay it was very very yellow so until about 5 years ago it wasn't kosher now it's kosher why what changed what they got along with the rabbis now they you know they got together maybe got over a few beers and they got no made a deal made a deal what's the deal stop using beetles beetles the bug the way they made they figured out that the way to make their orange juice more yellow than an average orange juice is by using beetles Crush beetles and boiled be beet shells and beetles in general are in so much food that you would want to vomit if you saw the list it's in so bugs like bugs like bugs that you step on outside or you run away from or you spray or you hate bugs like not just it's in so much food that you go crazy we try to even look at our vegetables to wash everything to make sure that we don't eat this little thing I'm talking about things from uh uh the gum Trident Layers or uh Lucky Charms or crunch or Dan and yogurts or SAR Lee products all of these things have this ridiculous amount of of of things that you would never think of and a lot of it is bugs yeah a lot of it is bugs you his bugs bugs has it's called natural red number four why is it called natural because technically bug is not you know a beetle is natural buter good I think it'ser it says you if it says you it's different probably not everything uses bugs but a lot of things if it if if it says you there's no bugs it takes 70,000 of these bugs these beetles to produce one pound of dye to give food coloring Starbucks you guys heard of Starbucks right so yes heard of Starbucks right Starbucks got slammed meaning they people uh found out about this they didn't like it because in 2012 one of their additives one of their flavoring for their um for their Frappuccinos but for the the one with the but no the what Starbucks Starbucks not Kos I don't know told you Halloween in Halloween what do you have what do you mean candy pumpkin pumpkin something like this problem with the pumpkin I'm talking about Frappuccino Frappuccino is the most popular one why why was Frappuccino okay Frappuccino was using a uh a you listening Frappuccino was using as the besteller as the best seller right frappucino what was he using to give you a lot of flavors natural red number four what is that beetles wow you know there's a company in there says that's I think isn't that a Jewish company I'll give you some yeah yeah I'll give you some's coming CP days it's amazing going to go into business of hot sauce hot sa amazing I swear you came like the guy with the yeah tell her tell her when she comes she'll she'll like to hear her uh okay so at least you know there's no bugs in there koser if it doesn't say koser on it you're not allowed to have it that's the rule that's it there's no I don't care what anybody tells you if it's not a kosher place you not let to go have it yeah but if you see people going from the Yesa rabbis drinking yeah have people that go in there I don't know okay so let's give you yeah okay so listen if let's say right now give you an hypothetical example okay hypothetical example let's say there was another guy here because I like all of you guys let's say there's a fifth guy here on this and I decided you know what I don't really like this guy and I take this pen I start stabbing him in the face now you guys look at me I'm going to teach you a few little bit of T you think that so do that mean that it's allowed no you know what's right what's wrong listen Hashem told us if it's not Kosh you're not all to have it doesn't matter what somebody else is doing the guy could wear a keeper he could have a beard get they didn't get like approv from the BRS I mean uh somebody told me that BRS said that you're allowed to go uh have coffee from there I don't know just regular well you usually you follow up the guys who knows better I I I heard I heard I heard that somebody say somebody say something like that that the BRS said that it's okay to have coffee from there I've never heard such a thing because I know that when we went to Israel if you're religious you're not even allowed to have Kosher meat from a from a place that doesn't keep Shabbat so if you're not allowed to have kosher meat from a place doesn't keep Shabbat how can you have coffee from a place that doesn't keep anything yeah but go it's irrelevant it's it is relevant the reason why you cannot buy from public they opening Shabbat how do you know that they're not putting beetles in the in the coffee how do you know they're not putting some other chem talking not R they don't have the same rules as us Starbucks does not have the same rules as someone that's kosher they don't have the same rules they serve the world so if they found a new way to put use beetles like they did a couple years ago they'll put it in their coffee whether this synagogue or that synagogue said it's okay is IR relevant wrong is the same zero anything that's not Kosher not allowed to have that's it I don't care what synagogue said what what Rabbi said I'm going to open a unless it's saying says saying something like that it means nothing that's it's that's because again it's not my rules I didn't make it let's open the Starbucks Starbucks itself is over here is proof Starbucks using beetle in their coffee so if BRS knew they're using beetles in their coffee obviously BRS wouldn't say that you can go have it they obviously are clueless about this and that's why they said you go have coffee if they even said it because I heard this also that BRS said to go uh do it but I don't know for sure people don't look into this stuff that's the point who would have thought that orange juice has this stuff who would have thought uh even even something like this for example obviously none of us eat this stuff but uh chicken nuggets from McDonald's one of the things that they uh started using is uh the same chemical that's used for breast implants on I can't even say this really really long word 20 20 letter word but it's in there it's in the list um turkey that you buy everywhere has pork in it turkey has pork in it turkey turkey has pork in it if we buy koser we buy by koser it's koser exactly you now everything that I buy I always check to make sure it's oh Trident layer gum gum you know you buy Trident layer gum most gum are not yeah Trident layer gum pork ingredients in the gum which is it not the the number five too what about the number five if it's not Kosher it has it CU my girls always if it's not Kosher it has either pork or some other uh thing oh actually this is an interesting one Otis spunk mayor Oda spunk May is a food product it uses bear claws this isn't interesting bear claws bear claws no that's their uh especially uh that's their that's the name of the product no I'm looking for this one that I saw this morning uh where they actually used urine animal urine as one of the ingredients flavoring beautiful yeah Sarah Lee products with pork gel this is wonderful stuff so anyway so a lot of people say wait a minute how come this stuff is not Kosher this Chi should be kosher this uh uh he you got this uh chi should be kosher this orange juice should be kosher this potato sh should be kosher why what could be such a big deal out of potatoes and all this stuff that you think naturally just what's the big deal the reality of it is that it's not the rabbi's fault the rabbis want everything to be kosher because that helps am the more kosher products there are in the world the cheaper it is to manufacture kosher the problem is that the people that don't care about kosher they like to test different things and they like to go and have revolting things in their food you know just so you know the amount of koser products that are available today than 20 years ago it's tremendous than what it was so in this case you have to pick your poison here you have so much uh if it doesn't say you or okay so easy to keep CER it's no good that's really the bottom line if it doesn't say you are okay McDonald's FR okay with a triangle it's okay too right so in this case if I drink a cappuccino in my house it's much better it's Health realistically everything in the house I'm going to have to come to drink coffee at your place you come here I'll make you te listen listen don't be fool because there's a lot of products out there they say k k is not good not koser K there's no such thing as K oh there is a k why K with triangle in it a k and and there a triangle around it just a k there's a lot of K that's not legit and make the own k k is not check it out yeah for that specifics about it you should go to the uh website tell exact there the uh koser website anything you can take you know what I get I get their Fredo fro chips with the half all right let's go back to the one thing that's actually uh very interesting actually in the over here it's a um says Moses said to Aaron take one jar and put a full of Mana into it place it before Hashem for safekeeping for Generations so in essence what Moshe is telling Al which is very really interesting is that to keep this Mana to keep like an artifact of it so we have it for Generations which means that this is somewhere in the world M the people today have a very hard time believing that any of this stuff happened like where this what proof do we have 99.9% of the world doesn't believe it if they believed it they would do it they would do what the rest of the Torah says people don't believe it so the page 54 it says if you come across these eight places and or see these eight things there there's a special blessing that you have to say one of them the first one on the list is the specific place where the Jews cross the Sea of reeds meaning not just you can't you don't do a special blessing just by going to the yam meaning that you have to go to the place where you know for sure that this is the place where the ocean split so what is this so there's a special blessing they provide you so what does that mean it means that at the time of the they actually knew exactly where it was people have a hard time believing this stuff but the good news is that Hashem in this generation he knows how low we are how much worse in the uh past we're in 49 Gates 49 Gates and so he's showing us a lot more than he showed them so over the last couple of months there was a discovery announced that they've been searching for something completely different for a long time but in the bottom of the yam they found thousands of uh weapons and and carriages uh and bodies I yeah on the bottom of Bottom of the Sea of reeds um Can Only They say that this obviously is Egyptian and it's going to take years to go through all of it but anyone that didn't believe that yam happened they can't have more evidence than that unfortunately most people don't know that this actually happened and the reason why I know that is because I asked a few people if they knew it people that I would think should know they didn't know even more so most people don't know thatat Noah the uh Noah's Ark has already been found for over 10 years jerk and it's found exactly where hasem said it would be which is a top top of a mountain called and you could even go on YouTube and find the videos and it shows you videos of not just the outside of this mountain and the shapes but actually people going inside and doing measurements and seeing the wood exactly as described no one could bring something like that I mean you have to understand that you know Noah's Ark is people think it's like a little ship Noah's Arc was the size of the Titanic it's giant giant even though it still s technically couldn't fit all those animals in a logical way it was all miracles either way the point is that it's a giant ship so no one can bring that to the top of the mountain there's we don't have equipment that can do that even to this day so if it's there it's been there but most people don't know this media doesn't cover it and people just don't know the is working overtime to make sure that people don't know this stuff unless they try and Hashem says all of the information that you want to know about me is available you just have to look just a little effort just a little effort so also says several other really interesting things that you have to do a miracle for so one of them is the exact place of SE reads uh second thing is is the exact place where the Jews crossed the the the Jordan River the katam wasn't the only splitting of the ocean that happened there was several the next one that happened is the Jordan River was also split for uh Joshua uh then uh another one is the crossing of the canyon of Aron why is the canyon of Aron such a interesting story The says Canon of anon wasn't water it was you know in the desert but there was this you know Canyon which is giant mountains the uh I think it was the amorites amorites uh were enemies of Israel and they decided to Ambush Israel as they go into the desert and they figured that you know what we have to Ambush them in a way that there's no way that they're going to be able to defend themselves let's go to the mountains hide in the caves of the mountain and once they uh you know once they get through we could shoot our arrows at them and kill all of them they can't defend themselves you know anyone that knows a little bit about war knows that you know elevation is an advantage they can't you can't fight if you're on the bottom of a hill and someone is at the top of the hill unless as God wants you to win there's just no chance in the world that you could win so that's the plan they went into the mountains they hid in the caves also had the uh uh what is it called in English um no no love uh the thing that uh uh the ark the arc um that was carrying the uh Ten Commandments in it and that was actually floating by itself according to thear it was floating by itself and it was floating 3 days ahead of them to clear the road people weren't carrying it it was floating isn't the Liv did or no no no one no one was carrying it was going by itself but they made them like they were carrying but yeah yeah but this case it was going by itself no people three days ahead of them no no no this is this is we're back in the desert back to so it's going it's three days ahead of them and it's clearing the road so it goes through this uh Canyon of Alon obviously these people are there but they just see this box moving and what happens is that the two mountains come together and Collide so now a few days later am goes through it they don't know what happened they just see the mountains are together instead of it being two mountains now it's together so they go through it and then there's these two people that were in in the at the end of am at the end of the line I mean this is millions of people but there was two people at the end why because they had satat they had a disease where if you had this disease you had to be exiled from the people you had to be left behind so since they're the last two that are going through this thing at that time the uh mountains came apart again and the river of blood went down the mountains with it because all of the uh amorites that were crushed and they told am look at this and then they realize what Miracle just happened so anyone that goes through this uh Canyon Canyon has to do a special blessing um never heard of all this talks about a lot of these really mystical amazing things that happened that we don't even realize actually happened um another one that I found very interesting is the stone that OG the king of Bashan was going to uh OG was a giant that was alive since the time of Noah was a giant that was alive since the time of Noah and all got married from Hashem to live because uh on one end he lived through Noah because hasem wanted to show the world that how big the people used to be so if Hashem killed all of these Giants and ug was the smallest of all of them so if he killed Giants bigger than him then people should be worried and should respect AEM Unfortunately they didn't listen anyway but that was the reason why he survived he let him survive through Noah then after that he survived many more years through Abraham which is a few hundred years 360 years or 400 years after Noah Abraham is around or is still alive why because in this case one day uh OG comes to uh Abraham and he tells him about his cousin L has been kidnapped by these other kings so you should go save him OG's real plan was that he was going to tell Abraham to go about these kings that King dapped his his cousin lot Abraham was going to go fight them die and OG was going to steal his wife Sarah that was his real plan obviously that didn't happen because Abraham beat all of those kings but uh again for that Merit for telling uh you know for for saving in essence lot Hashem gave him Merit to live even a few more hundred years he lived through this whole for you know a long time a couple thousand years he lived and uh so now he's alive during this uh this time of Moses and and Amai in the desert and he hates Israel and one of the times he says how big is the camp of Amel and they did a uh he did a calculation which was the equivalent of um it's either three or nine square miles they they calculate based on palsa so Pala is a certain I think it's either three or it's 9 square miles was the size of am's Camp so OG said okay so I'm going to take a rock that's the size of this three square miles meaning he's going to take a mountain and I'm going to throw it at them and I'll kill all them one shot so this is one of the things that shows us how big he was he picks up this rock hasem makes a miracle that ants and other some people say made a hole through the rock which made it fall on his shoulder and he lost balance and and then uh Moses attacks him Moses also M specifically says how tall is Moses do you guys know how tall Moses Wass 54 um Moses was 10 AM 10 AM 10 AM each is between 1 and 1/2 ft to 2 ft which means that Moses Moses was between 15 to 20 ft met 5 and A2 ft average so he's uh he was what 20 ft four times so he was he jumped listen to this this is actually also in it's very interesting people always think that the Zar has all the mystical stuff you just read the Tor it has a lot of mystical and amazing stuff so Moshe was he had a stick that was and he jumped and he hit OG at the top of his heel and killed him the top of his heel top of his heel of his foot that's how big was his heal heal his heal as his foot was where did his foot start only his foot was meaning let go the where that where that bone where that bone is where the bone of the uh no his ankle top of his top of his ankle still so what his his foot was 30 foot wide like that big guy huge wow huge yeah yeah that's why he was the only one left and he was the smallest of them uh there's another miracle that's mentioned much taller than that yeah everything everything was just you say Moses was like that tall so what was like the average of people much bigger come to and talk with he was he was a tiny tiny was the exact opposite it was one one like Moses compared to to Israel people was like like huge different no I mean I guess some people a lot of people were bigger some people were you know smaller but I mean over like like today like two M he was tall he proba considered probably tall yeah but still I don't I don't necessarily know if he was the tallest in was probably other people no no you have you guys you see thing is the problem is what what you're trying to do it's it's very very understandable what you're trying to do you're trying to rationalize and how it makes sense that somebody that big can do this this and that or how could they operate because your your comparison is today you're comparing it to what you know today you have to completely throw that out of the water because again it's like saying but yeah it makes sense there's golat and there's you know you have to also say that maybe it's you know this was the average well I mean look at I think we have to look the other way how to translate what you read in the Torah to today's logic this is because it doesn't make sense it doesn't matter what maybe to have somebody with 7 m and the other one are 1 m it's impossible why I I don't think it's possible why there's people today that are 8T tall 7 tall 8T is okay okay why is it okay but s m you know I mean somebody like no okay so wait so wait so hold on so do you believe that Hashem split the ocean that's something El no no no hold on say you believe a split the ocean yes okay you believe hasm brought the man yes you believe hasm created the world yes you believe hasem created me and you and everybody else here yeah but I don't believe so why you limiting him you can't create that we why why why is Moshe creating let's think about this even better let's think about people have what's the average size of all the people in these days I don't know the average size I know he was 20 say anything about it no no I don't know it I'm sure it does I don't know it I know aage was 5 m or six me could have been ah okay in this no no it could have been there's no but there is no way in society somebody who is Meers can live with somebody who is no no no no one saying no no one is saying that everybody else was Tiny I'm talking most people or people in general and everything actually was bigger back then than it is now okay they live there too everything was bigger back then yeah no no I'm talking about here this is this is again you have to look at it this way most people even religious people have a very hard time believing in one of the core principles of Faith which is meaning theem promised that at the end of times he's going to bring back that I believe that I believe people have a hard time believing in bring him back to dead like what do you mean it's dead it's bones it's nothing there's nothing left why how how there's a proof for this how could AEM bring back the dead how could it be hey no there's a bone right there is a bone that always never die so how could it be that hashem's going to bring back the dead there's only bones left right if you ever see a seed a plant before it becomes a plant seed goes into the [Music] ground and it gets destroyed it's ruined looks like it's going bad breaks apart but then shortly later starts a plant comes out of it and then you see that their plant becomes maybe a tree and so on some reason people have an easier time to believe that to make a giant tree from a plant that's going from a seed that's being destroyed it is easier to believe even more so all you need to know in order to believe everything that tah says whether it's Moses being 20t or 200 feet Oram or anything is look at the mirror and remember that before the time you actually had a memory you were a seed that was microscopic you came from nothing one a sperm seed that was part of millions and millions and millions of seeds that all failed and that one tiny tiny tiny tiny little seed that you can't even see with the naked eye combined with an egg out of the chances of something like that happening are in the trillions if not more and that Tiny Seed that was complete waste of nothing became a human being that talks speaks interrupts lectures ask questions compliments my mom's works hard so that's all you me I'm the winner I'm the I'm the seed winner I'm the one you're the winner the trillions there you go I do the egg if a seed can turn into into something so special like to say but I still think thatu can't be 20t tall he can be then what's the problem no I think that we have to interpret this particular no interpret this is what the says says I show it to you what about the animals the animals were also had to be we have dinosaurs also remember it's dinosaurs was a donkey or donkey like today horse like a horse in general everything was bigger and different than today for example it says also that um no it's true you want to listen to the answer you want to give an answer okay in it's a part of uh Israel Tiberia there was a special trees and and trees grew this fruit it's unbelievable it's big big fruit and uh he would send his uh he would send a h 100 of his of his students to go get him a thousand of these fruits which is the equivalent of something like uh 24,000 eggs and he would eat all of it in one sitting meaning sitting he's eating all of it in one sitting and when he finished he says that he's still starving like as if he hasn't eaten in years another one of the rabis another one of the rabbis says he would eat them he would eat the same fruit until his sweat turned into the meats that came out of the fruit where RAB would would tell uh rebi which is Rudi which is the president of Israel also responsible for putting together the mishna and uh he would say listen he's eating all the fruit send some people out of there he's he's going crazy already with eating all of this fruit so a lot of a lot of this stuff that we think is like you know Harry Potter mystical and things like that it's not it's not really that mystical based on tah it's just for us it's not normal what's the difference between a miracle and nature what's the difference between a miracle and nature I think a nature is is a miracle by itself okay so what's the difference between a miracle and nature there is not there is miracle that are visible and there is miracle that we depend how you look at it but depends how you look at it I think the flower that develop from seed is a miracle but this is if you have a big fate but no no the that is so exact if the is is late a fraction of a second the world doesn't exist okay now here here here I'll give you guys the answer like you said the seed or the sun now if tomorrow this is also one of the things Raab M mentioned if tomorrow you saw it rain blue blue rain started coming down yeah people would get scared initially right right no wants to come out after two days still maybe one person comes out after a week every day blue rain 10 people are out two weeks thousands a month everyone normal and that's the difference between nature and a miracle nature is just a miracle you got used to a miracle is just something that happens once in a while that you're not used to yet so we're used to a tiny little seed becoming you becoming a human being we're used to every time we need food Hashem sends us rain an exact measurement of what we need to grow the trees that we have we're used to every time we go outside to have the exact precise amount of of a uh oxygen that we need to survive if there was 1% more oxygen in the world than there is right now the minute you would light a cigarette there would be a giant explosion bigger than any atomic bomb you've ever had if there was one less percent oxygen in the world we wouldn't be able to survive because all of the trees would die and everything would disappear even more so there's something called collagen collagen is what your body is made out of your bones your skin everything is made out of collagen collagen in general is is is something that's not seethrough it's this you know it's your bones let's say imagine your bones they're solid it's like a you know piece of wood let's say right there's only one place in creation that collagen is not solid and it's the only place that if it was solid we wouldn't be able to survive where is it if there was one place with collagen is solid everywhere meaning you cannot see through it but there's only one place where it's not meaning that you can see through it where your brain your eyes your brain you don't need your brain to be see through you can't see your brain but your eyes are made out of collagen if your eyes w't not see through you wouldn't be able to see there would have there would be no vision so the same material that makes your feet your bones your entire body is the same thing that's being used for your eyes but in this case it's used differently so that's just a miracle we got used to people explain it in different ways so here's the thing some people say that we came from a cell that went through a process of mitosis and eventually became a fish and then a lizard and then a bunny and eventually a monkey and then a monkey became a human and so on and so forth and they ended up on my dinner table over here listening to my shoing other people say hasem created the world in days I think it's easier to believe hasm created the world in 6 days than to believe that I came from a monkey no but there is a proof no this is evolution it's something else but there is a proof that the world existed millions of years ago and we you missed last week's lecture yeah so okay so you already talked about it no no we're not talk about the rabbi has explained that these millions of years could be one day all the time here's the thing about we talked about lastek but it's worth we'll finish off lecture like this we'll finish off the lecture the sh like this this is actually gave this to everyone last week this is the picture of the uh Big Bang Theory this is a picture of The Big Bang Theory that's what they believe happened oh I think you wear in it also last week so yeah you can take this so in the beginning of this thing go they say that everything is 14 billion years old and so on okay so scientists believe that the big Bank Theory or people believe that scientists believe the Big Bang Theory contradicts the tah meaning it says that if the Big Bang Theory happened that the toah is not real that's what people believe what people don't realize is that the big even if the big Bank Theory happened it still doesn't contradict the Torah number one because of what you said because there's different ways to translate those few days but number two because in the last several in the last maybe 15 years or so science has made a major major conclusion that wasn't around until now all this time that they had the Big Bang Theory they believed that the world always existed meaning there was no beginning there's no end in the last 15 years they concluded that it's not possible for it to always exist there has to be a starting point which is the part on this side here okay that's the starting point they're saying that's that's 14 billion years ago now they're saying that you know nothing existed then everything existed and little by little developed and so on and so forth fine whatever happened after the big bang let's say did happen is irrelevant whether we came from monkeys didn't come from monkeys irrelevant point is let's focus on the on the first starting point and show how science proved AEM and not the opposite science says that there has to be a starting point but and nothing came you know that something came from nothing this could only be true according to science if that's something that create that that was was created has to follow the laws of nature meaning it has to have the laws of quantum mechanics whether and other laws of nature that we're used to like whether it's gravity or the cells that you have the atoms the uh you know how many electrons are you know hydrogen oxygen so on and so forth the timetable you know everything everything that the things that are part of existence had to exist at that time so if that's the case so they're saying that these laws of nature they're not physical but they act on a physical meaning these laws of nature influence the physical things they um were here and they created they they were here before the uh the everything that was created in essence and they created everything just laws of nature so it's four things so not physical but act on a physical created the physical from nothing and which means that they had to come before the creation those four things are the biblical description of God meaning he's not physical but he acts on a physical he created the physical and he's before before creation that's the biblical definition of God and this I got from a scientist religious scientist called Andrew um Gerald Schroeder he gives lectures about this stuff and um so again whether Big Bang Theory or hasem created the world in six days and increments of 24 hours irrelevant bottom line is there is a Creator Creator gave us a letter we have to read it see what it's says and get closer to him and now you guys have even more of a reason to keep kosher because now you know the consequence not only spiritually but physically the last time I checked most people do not want to eat cockroaches last time I checked most people do not want to eat beetles or ants or other disgusting bugs or hair from rats and a lot of things that are ingredients and non kosher food so sometimes spiritual is difficult for us to connect physical is much easier so when you see something you say oh yeah you know what I want to have a uh whatever I don't know something that's out there that's not Kos I want to have uh McDonald's Frappuccino oh wait a minute what's the ingredients oh e120 oh I remember wait youron told me that's the uh thing for uh for beetles how about the capuccino huh capuccino is different it's Noto is the cold one no I don't understand capuccino is I don't think honestly I think yeah I don't think I don't think no no you have to understand that it's not you could say cheese is just milk it's not this flavoring that's added to everything so in the milk the because I see whether it's the milk or the coffee part whether it's the milk or the coffee part that they flavor I don't know know is that if some place that I go to uses as one of their ingredients is a bug I'm not I believe that Starbucks is full of they discovered that in the how do they call it not just starb it's a lot of pumpkin spinach pumpkin pumpkin chemicals yes everybody uses chemicals so you know again list bottom line is if it's not kosher you're eating kazil that's that's what you have to start because people relate to kazil a lot more they can relate to bugs 99% of the time K is one of the ingredients in most most uh uh uh things thanks for moving us appreciate that uh most most people uh use use pig as an ingredient because the enzymes are in a lot of things and most most importantly is that it's a very cheap animal so when you Mass produce you want to get something cheap mhm okay so spiritually it's terrible physically it's revolting whichever one you want to use don't do it bottom line doesn't matter with there don't go don't go don't be one of these people it's like n you know it's just coffee because now you know better it's not just coffee it's not just potato chips it's not just cheese it's not just anything choose not koser listen you want to eat bugs eat bugs be my guest eat bugs no no this one doesn't have it you know what you eat on everything else is the same you know the corns corns are engineering uh engineer forget about just the engineer I'm talking about actually using eating bugs is to me probably the most revolting thing in the world I don't know there are some people out there that like eating bugs they feel like it's protein but to me it's revolting anyway we finished this I mean the other thing that's left in this is but I'm sure we're going to talk more about it uh because M continues to this day but uh thank you for making me stronger coming now let amen amen amen
