welcome by the way lots of food and joy uh thank you very much for the sponsorship for Shalom and Rachel Mala mayem give them blessing and their new marriage and new life and children all the good that's in life this also have for my parents and and all of it's going through a very difficult time around the world it's not easy it's not easy out there you have a uh you have terrorism roaming the world and uh unfortunately it's becoming one of those things where people are not necessarily getting used to it but they're waking up to it but the wake up it's not like you would think during the uh attacks that happened in the United States September 11th I remember uh I was working in a city at the time the whole city was shocked the whole country was shocked but mainly the city people that were in Manhattan were really shocked because realistically this is not something that we could ever expect imagine even though there's been terrorism in the past nothing to this extent and the sh the city was uh shut down for uh probably something like uh the next couple of months you know we couldn't really come to the office we uh I was working at the time on 38th Street in fifth which was Midtown about uh figure about maybe 15 minutes or so um from uh from where the uh terrorism of September 11th happened and uh everyone was shocked for months and everyone had to change their life a little bit and today's world a part of the world is changing part of the world is adjusting and realizing that we have to open our eyes we have to look up and pray to Hashem and the other part is just going about their business the reason why the ones that are waking up are praying to Hashem is because they realize that in reality we can't stop it in reality you cannot not stop the terrorism that's happening in the world what just happened in France is unfortunately just a small small tip of the iceberg not that un you know not that it's a small event but in comparison to what two billion fanatic islamist can do it's a small token Hashem is really showing how much he's really protecting us through these terrorism in events because if you really think about it France right now is majority of France is Muslim majority of those Muslims are not exactly lovers of the rest of the of mankind some are nice people but the majority over there at the very least are not exactly the ideal citizen that you would want they're very violent they're very vocal uh about their opinions and uh they're not exactly people that you would want to invite for Shabbat dinner what happened in France was not really a surprise it was something that everybody's been waiting for it's unfortunate to say that and I hope no one takes it the wrong way but in reality when you have the the type of immigration that they have allowed to happen in France and all over Europe uh where they pretty much let everyone in and uh similar to what's hopefully not going to happen but is happening here in in the United States where they're uh looking to let 65,000 or maybe even a 100,000 syrians into the United States without knowing whether these are criminal terrorist psychotic people that are part of Isis or not um they're fighting right now to let them in I don't know why you would let uh such questionable people into a country uh but uh apparently the leadership has uh its reasons not necessarily any of them that I understand at least but in France and in Europe you know you had the uh The Fanatic Behavior become already part of life people got used to it and they said oh you know what most of the attacks is really against the Jews most of the attacks are really against the Americans most of the attacks are really against government bodies so we don't have to be so concerned it's not bothering me I still got my job next to the iffel tower I still got my firm still making millions of dollars each month I still got my new fashion line coming in next week I still have the new cars that I ordered last month coming in next month and everybody goes about their business and worried about how can we save a rare species of a tree or how can we save you know a rare fish or some you know animal that may go extinct how can we save all of these things that in reality it's not that they're not important but when you look at the priority level of mankind today you can't help it but realize that something's wrong with us something's wrong with us when Israel is attacked no one says anything except that if we responded and killed the the terrorist one or two terrorists that made the attack and killed 15 20 25 50 people the headline says two Palestinians killed in bombing they don't mention that those same Palestinian terrorists garbage of the world killed 40 people they mentioned two Palestinians killed by IDF and right next to that headline Kanye West comes out with a new album and people move on with their life and they they they move on and nothing is the matter with that picture to people but now what happened here in France is as far as what happened in this in this event it's a little bit of a shock to people because they weren't attacking attacking terrorists weren't attacking a government body they weren't really attacking specifically a Jewish location I don't know I think maybe some Jews got hurt but the it wasn't a synagogue if you will it wasn't specifically meant towards anyone it was meant towards everyone and now everybody's waking up a little bit and they're saying oh with do something this Isis is a problem and some people are waking up but based on why how I follow the media and in regards to seeing how people are reacting in reality it's still a very very small percentage most people feel that if they make their profile picture on uh Facebook into a uh French flag they feel like they've done nothing and they can move on back to Kanye West and his new fashion line or they can move back on into the new Mercedes that's coming out in a few months and I can't wait to spend $1,500 a month paying for for the car while people are starving in the world without even you know having even $500 a month so people are just moving on into their back to their life and that's generally what's happened to the world today where there is a disconnect between people and Humanity for the most part no one cares the Jewish people are not excluded in this overall discussion some of us care some of us don't some of us you tell them listen you have to maybe start praying this is the way of our ancestors this is the way of our lineage this is the way of our uh history this is the only thing that's ever worked praying to Hashem and doing what he says in the love letter that he wrote To Us called the Torah is the only thing that's ever worked to save the Jewish people nothing else has worked not the Army not the brain not the beauty nothing this is not the first time we have a strong Army a lot of people think oh no Israel is a strong Army you know the uh I don't know number one Air Force in the world if that's true or not I don't know but point is everybody's very very high on Israel's Army and the technology and the missile defense system okay great none of that's going to matter if two billion Muslim Fanatics are attacking you none of that's going to matter if a 100 million of them are attacking you as a matter of fact none of that matters right now when there's only a few of them what a few thousand of them are attacking us we still can't defend ourselves and what do you think this is the first time we had a strong Army you think David didn't have a strong Army you think that during the BET mikdash years the first bet mikdash for 410 years the second of bet mikdash for 420 years you think we didn't have a strong Army at some point we were lead we were the conquerors of the world we were the leaders of the world was the strongest person in the world but it was only a matter of time and unfortunately our sins led to destruction we didn't become stupid as far as our ability to invent we didn't become ugly where our Beauty was no longer considered Beauty we didn't come weak where our muscles didn't count we were the same thing as we've always been if anything materialism became a bigger part of our life during those times what we did do what we did add the most to is our sins and our sins led to destruction and that's what's happening in the world today there was a video that came out a couple of days ago I published it I got it from another guy that's actually know where there's something called Torah codes I don't know if we've talked about it before in detail but there's something called Torah codes which is pretty much a mathematical way of finding secrets in the Torah beyond theat beyond the norm beyond the the story behind the story behind the beyond the M that you can learn from it beyond the lessons that you can find it there's secret codes within the Torah if you know how to use a it's based on mathematical formulas and you can find codes and prophecies and you find you can find pretty much everything that's ever happened in history in the Torah whether it's uh Nazi Germany and the names of every one of the leaders and the concentration camps in the exact years that it happened and all the details that you could ever want about World War II are in not only then I'm not talking about that all over the Torah talking about they're all in one page and that one page is specific speically talking about the punishment that the Jews would get if they went against hem specifically discussing everything that actually happened during during World War II this is Al one of the events whether it'sin that got assassinated that was also in not Torah with actually one of the amazing things about is that somebody actually found out about it found the code that he's going to get assassinated before he got assassinated which is very very rare it's very rare to find a code in the Torah of something that's going to happen usually it's something that already happened it's not because it doesn't exist in Tor it's always been there yeah is that you don't know what you're looking for after the fact right you don't know what you're looking for when you don't know what you're looking for so what are you going to type what are you going to put in the computer program at searching for it but when someone specifically looked for and looked for other Associated words assassination this that they actually found it all and he actually tried notifying him he tried notifying him uh the guy actually came out with uh became very famous uh coming out with a book a series of books called Bible codes even though he wasn't the guy that found the Bible codes but he's one of the people that made it famous if you will in our generation anyway came out with a series of books called Bible codes and he tried notifying the people of E been before it happened and um they ignored him and it cost him his life there was a guy that came out with a uh code a few days ago before I say this code again if no one saw the text that I already sent and the post I made on Facebook there's no intention here of scaring people into thinking that this is definitely Baba into thinking that this is definitely going to happen what it is is that it's a code that says that something is possible it says that it uh is obviously there for a reason and and uh it's there for a reason we found it now for a reason but the biggest thing is that it makes a lot of sense the code is what someone found is that there's going to be a terrorist attack in New York in the Statue of Liberty in December of this year we are in November we're talking about a month away mayem hear our prayers and it won't happen am it's strange to find a code before things happen very strange because again like I said before you don't usually look look for stuff like this but the guy that went looking he found Isis he found the date he found found the exact name of where the city is he found the Statue of Liberty the location I mean details Beyond I mean it's a two-minute video you can watch it yourself if you haven't seen it you can watch it it's in Hebrew but too many details for it to be a coincidence and all of it is in one page so it's not random Pages where he's taking you know one word Isis you know in page two and then the word uh Statue of Liberty in page 32 12 and then the uh New York and Page 590 and somehow he's combining all of these things if if it was that then it's not considered a code it's considered just random words that are in Torah when it's all located within one specific place we have a a a rule in the Torah when things are connected whether it's a Paras one after another there's a reason why one parasha is next to the other it's not just randomly put there it's not just because the story is happening in order because as a matter of fact some of the are not in order some of the in the Tora are actually out of order some of the events that have happened in the Torah if you read the Torah in in order they actually happened out of order but they're there specifically because they're connected in one way or another to the one before them and the one after them so this whole code kind of shook me up because it's a obviously a family living in New York obviously there's the largest amount of Jewish people in America live in New York um and there's aside from that it's one of the biggest cities in the world Ian it's 20 million plus people that live there and so it would be a disaster uh so as I said before the only thing that's ever worked for mankind not just the Jewish people's prayer the Jewish people specifically because we' have been the chosen ones we have the direct instructions of how to do it but obviously everyone should pray even the go when uh Hashem wanted to destroy nve because they were Wicked he sent Jonah over there and uh even though they were all go and some say even that their leader was PA the same PA from Egypt he didn't die during the uh destruction of Egypt he was the only one that survived and he went and became king of nve and but they were Wicked so hasem was going to destroy the city so he sent Jonah over there and uh Jonah gave them a warning after obviously the whole story didn't want to go but the point being is that he went there and he told them listen if you don't repent Hashem is going to destroy your city now that the world is already already gone through some type of Destruction in the past par obviously was familiar with what happened to him in his you know his previous Kingdom the people obviously believed in Hashem even though they were doing a lot of things against Hashem they still believed there was something called Hashem and they repented and over the next 40 days they repented to such an extent that hashm did not destroy the city so prayer prayer works for the gim also it's not just for the uh Jews the Jews prayer is the only reason why we're still alive prayer is really the only reason why we're still here hasem says if if it wasn't for my Covenant the rules of the world would cease to exist what's the Covenant Covenant is the Torah the Covenant is the Torah where if there was even a second as we discussed in previous lectures if there was even a second without Li T in the world one second the world would cease to exist now every Jew is responsible not just for himself he's responsible for all of am is every Jew according to K they say every Jew has to look at himself and look at the entire world as 50/50 50% righteous 50% Wicked one more Mitzvah makes a difference one more Mitzvah makes the world either righteous or one more a one more sin makes the whole world Wicked obviously if there's more sins this could lead to the destruction of the world or at the very least this could lead to big punishment if there's more good things there more mitv this could be to Good Times so every Jew has to look at it where the next action that he does could change the world not just him because if he dies right now what was the last thing he did when someone has they have to start thinking about what's going to happen if the mashiah arrives right now what was I doing at the time the mashiah came what was I doing everyone asked after September 11th happened everyone until this day asks what were you doing at the time of September 11th the same thing is going to happen with the whole thing with France what were you doing at the time that the event in France happened everyone always asks what were you doing at a specific time now if the mashia arrived right now you with me if the mashiah arrived right now everyone is going to ask what were you doing oh you're you're paying attention you're learning you're trying to get stronger but that's not all of some people are at different places they're at a uh pubs and strip clubs and movie theaters and baseball games and uh football games and business meetings and all the things that the world is consumed with so if the mashiah arrived right now I don't know if they're necessarily they're going to be very proud of that moment a Jew is supposed to think about that at all times not just because the mashiach can come at any minute but your personal mashiach could be your you know technically someone's end no one knows how long they're going to live what was the last last thing you were doing if someone goes to the real world in sham first thing they think about this is this is how did I end my life was I ending my life doing something against the Torah because now obviously up there I can't make I can't pretend like I was a big sadik I can't say oh listen God I I really studied a lot when you really didn't study more than one say every month at best you can make up those stories like you make up to uh to people today now people make up a lot of stories we're going to learn from this we start in a few minutes people make up a lot of lies people in generally are consumed with lies for some reason or another people have gotten used to lying lying all the time they can't have an hour without lying to somebody some of the lies don't even matter that's the strangest part about it we got so used to lying that it's almost become part of our Behavior where it's acceptable where even if somebody finds out that we're lying like ah yeah you know what I meant like it's not a big deal we lie when we're looking for a new partner the guy pretends he's a big businessman in reality he works for uh the post office the girl pretends like she's a uh you know a uh was born just naturally uh amazing in reality she just came out of surgery 3 days ago people pretend like they had this big success in reality they're still looking for a job everybody's pretending everybody's a liar one guy pretends he's sadik he doesn't even know by [Music] heart people in general have become used to lying so now if someone ended and went to the real world he can't he can't use those lies anymore he can't say ohem I was really a sadik can't do that there's no more no more lying mashia comes right now you can't tell him oh no no I was I was going to go to the sh but I was on the way in reality we all know you weren't on the way you were on the way to a different Sher so to sum it up the world is boiling more and more each week as you've noticed as our lectures are are are advancing each week we have more and more events not all of them are good in fact most of them recently have been very bashes terrorism is becoming a norm gracious than sanctions against our people are becoming acceptable abuse of the Torah has become the thing to do rabbis being caught doing the worst things on earth is already of course another one and unfortunately has become almost a daily event so when you think about it the situation is not getting any better this by itself is enough of a reason for the mashia to come as soon as possible because if you wait anymore if he waits another wife 20 years what we going to have 30 Jews left that are righteous we're struggling to keep just a few that the 10 20% of am that are keeping Shabbat right now we're struggling to keep them because just as many that are joining the religion unfortunately are leaving it because all these K that are going against the religion and making videos with unlimited budgets saying that uh Christianity is Right saying that science is right saying that everything against the religion the shows of how people are leaving the religion and people are making them seem like they're the greatest people in the world because they left the religion like it was a prison they're not making shows about people that are doing CH they're making shows of are people that are Undercover the world is getting worse and worse yes recent events have caused some people to do and more people will do Chu but in reality on the grand scheme of things unless things get worse they're going to get worse meaning unless things get worse in the world to wake us up and force us to do cha now the am is not growing in religion unfortunately because people are just getting used to the world as it is there's a new concept of it's not new anymore of modern Orthodox well okay you're Orthodox Jew but you're modern too you're religious but don't be so much crazy you know don't do everything that it says so do some of what hasm says wear a skirt but make sure it's really really tight and just barely covering the knee cover your hair but do it in a way where it's like you know you let all your hair out people are making up all these rules weird strange rules that are outright against the Torah but they justify it by saying it's modern it's this new world that's what I say about it it's No Nonsense toah has not changed in over 3,300 years it will never change and that's it to finalize the mhia of our beginning of this year is that thear says there are three things that will surprise a person first one is finding a wallet second one is getting a uh bitten or not bitten really stung by scorpion and the third one is the mashia someone finds a wallet in Judaism if you know who it belongs to you're obligated to return it to them but in this example you don't know who it belongs to it's a wallet full of money there's no identity no one's looking for it it's a completely empty space meaning that it's yours yours to keep you find a wallet full of cash surprise never expected you didn't wake up in the morning say oh I'm going to go look for wallets it's a big surprise you praise hem all of a sudden you become religious even wow what hasem loves me I knew I deserved it I knew I did something right it's big surprise another one is getting stung by a scorpion stung by scorpion obviously no one wakes up in the morning says Ah get stung by scorpion because getting stung by scorpion could cost you your life and the third one is the mashia when everyone is doing everything we just talked about for the last half hour where they're saying oh I'm going to continue with my world I'm going to go to my job I'm going to go to my girlfriend I'm going to go to my boyfriend I'm going to go to the game I'm going to go to the show I'm going to go to the club I'm going to go to my business I'm going to do everything but what Hashem said I'm nice to everyone except Hashem but Rabbi I'm nice to people I'm such a nice guy I think Hashem is okay with me just being a nice person I heard this recently from many many people but I had one debate with some guy young young smart kid but very foolish at the same time he says I'm such a nice guy I think that hasem doesn't really care if I do he doesn't care if I keep Shabbat he doesn't care if I keep the mitv I don't know he doesn't care would go against the entire Torah would make a a you know Shalom it would mean that the entire Torah is fake which means that if the entire T is fake then what tells you that there is a how could one thing be true and the other one be false or vice versa so people are going and about their business and they're saying listen I don't need to learn T like the Torah says well the only chance someone gets to have to to be saved if the mashiah comes by the way it's just for in case anyone didn't hear in the million other times we've said it you have to learn T every day and you have to do of course you have to keep Shabbat you have to keep the is best as you can and especially the foundation of Judaism like Shabbat like kosher like for for men is the foundation of Judaism the basic minimum but you have to learn toah every day something you don't have to learn toah from morning toight but you have to learn some type of tah every day why do you have to learn to every day there's no such thing as a righteous person that's not learning T no such thing you cannot be a nice person without learning to you cannot be a righteous person without learning to you cannot be a lover of hem without learning tah it's impossible who said it hasem said it he wrote in his book in his love letter we call the Tor he wrote it in there and there's no such thing no such thing as someone that's learning to but really loves hem it's like a guy says no I love my wife when was the last time you saw 27 years ago if you love your wife you haven't seen her in 27 years how could that be no you know I send her a letter once a year people are crazy so when people are going about their life and doing everything that they're doing it's okay to live life it's not okay if it's costing you all of your time and there's no time for Hashem the only thing that really matters so when the mashia comes it's going to be a surprise it's going to be surprise to everyone cu no one's expecting it because everyone is going about their life one guy's selling a car another guy's fixing a building another guy's moving a building another guy is learning uh math another guy is learning you know uh science and how we all came from monkeys somehow even though the monkeys are still here that's that's the nonsense they teach in school today that we all came from monkeys where is it how come the monkey still here I don't know how we all keep for monkeys so everybody's going to go back go going around you know about their life and one day Mia show up he shows up that's it he's here no more Chua no more conver conversions surprise to everyone so why is the mhia coming suddenly compared to finding a wallet in a scorpion really comparing the mashiah which is the purpose of creation to a scorpion and a wallet come on if someone is righteous the mashiach coming is going to be like finding a wallet ah a is a Yi I found my wallet I got the money I got it instead of working I got the money I go learn to without working it's a movie one time my father loves it it's like a Chevy Chase movie and this guy that's been playing bingo for like a million years finally wins he's got the money I got it and he dies it's very funny skit my father always mentions it but think about it somebody finally got it finally God he's waiting his whole life but then that's it the end of life that's that's unfortunate what happens to a lot of people whole life they chase money they chase money they chase money finally when they get money it's the end of their life they find out unfortunate they have a disease they have this they have that no more time to enjoy the money so now someone that is righteous doing what hasem says learns toah every day a little bit 15 minutes a day an hour a day something you have 24 hours in a day you have 24 chocolates that hasm is giving you every day box of chocolates B you gives you a nice box of chocolates every day he's saying give me one just give me one one one just only one why you so greedy why you only old 24 give me one noem I need I need I need all of it I'll give you a quarter of one I'll give you a bite okay he says okay give me give me something no but you know even the bite even the 15 minutes is a problem today even the 15 minutes so for someone that's doing that time that's learning that's doing that's being righteous it's going to be like finding a wallet someone that's not doing it someone that doesn't want to give AEM not only doesn't want to give him one one chocolate he doesn't even want to give him a bite he want wants all of it for himself he doesn't want to go to beess he wants to go to the pub he doesn't want to go to sh he wants to go watch football he doesn't want to be honest in business he wants a shortcut he wants to make quick money he doesn't want to settle down get married and each time he's touches his wife he's allowed to touch her his wife no he wants the date he wants to date a little bit I want to have fun I want to uh you know know that I want to know that in case it doesn't work out it's not a problem for me to leave what Freedom this person doesn't realize that every single time he touches his so-called girlfriend it's a sin how many sins he makes once to his seed comes out of his body each seed is a sin what sin murder how much murder is it each time that somebody release his seed from his from his body scientists have have confirmed that somewhere an average of 300 million seeds Okay go with your girlfriend every night go ahead go enjoy enjoy murdering 300 million people every night oh no twice a night three times a night go go buddy go enjoy enjoy they're going to make a special game known for you come on someone has to come to a point I'm I'm being a little harder today because in reality I don't know how much time we have I don't know how much time we I don't know we have a week we have a month we have five years I don't know all I know is that the situation is boiling and no one's waking up everyone's like oh yeah it's nice nice I enjoy the shim okay you keep Shabbat yet no I'm not keeping Shabbat nine months you're watching shim you're still not keeping Shabbat every black I mentioned shabat you still not keeping Shabbat the minimum how how could it be you e kosher yeah at home what do you mean at home what about outside no you know sometimes I want to have McDonald no come on what hasem really cares if I have McDonald's don't be strict don't be so [Music] strict come on guys so wake up we have to wake up mashia comes someone is wicked it's going to be like the bite of a scorpion bite of a scorpion is deadly bite of a scorpion or sting of a scorpion is not a good thing someone is righteous it's like finding a w that's why it's mentioned so isem this is the part that will wake us up we will find out more and more of what we talked about in this is a very interesting par it's a very very interesting story with a lot of m a lot of lessons for life that are relevant to today Jacob departed from and went to okay great okay so Jacob left why is he why is the tah telling us he left okay could have said where and he left why yov left why is it mentioning him K is teaching us here when a righteous person leaves a place it affects the place it's not just him a righteous Jew affects the world not just the surroundings when a righteous person is in a city when a righteous person is in a synagogue when when a righteous person is in the house hasem will make certain things happen specifically for that righteous person the city can become prosperous just so he can have a store close to his house where he can buy a certain candy that he likes or a certain bread that he likes just so he could benefit the entire city is prospering just so he could have a certain amount of convenience so much so that Hashem has convinced multi-billionaires in history to build a building in the middle of the desert just so a righteous person can one day pass by it and use it for against the Heat you use a shadow shadow an entire building multi-million dollar building is built just for a righteous person one day it's going to pass by in his desert he can use it so he's not so hot the world revolves for the righteous person when yob left everything went down in the city that he left everything went down why because yov is a righteous person righteous person the place that he went to started prospering this is one of the things that if someone wants to have better success uccess in life connect yourself to righteous people with all the things we talked about in the first uh part of the sh it's hard to know who's righteous anymore because a lot of people have beards a lot of people say a lot of nice things but not necessarily everybody acts that way so be smart and careful he encountered the place and spent the night there before the sun and had set he took from the stones of the place which he arranged around his head and laay down in that place so this particular verse is where kazal actually uh gets the knowledge that yov made wrote down the okay wrot and yob did and then it says that he took the stones and he rested on these Stones if you notice later on in the next page it says only stones and uh verse uh 17 when he wakes up says Jacob Arose early in the morning and he took the stone that he placed around his head and set it up as a pillar in the beginning it was Stones now it's Stone what happened they all ran away kazal teaches us here that all the stones were fighting for which one is the sadik the righteous person going to Layon they all want it to be his pillow soem saw all of them really fighting to do a mitvah and he combined all he made a miracle he combined all of them they all became one stone this is actually one of the sources where we find out that even a rock has a part of a soul in it even a rock everything has something called neish in order for it to exist it has some type of uh uh something spiritual but some rocks actually have a in them it's not exactly a privilege to be in Iraq it's actually one of the worst forms of punishment some people that a uh have investigated this stuff they've seen that there's very very interesting things we can learn from rocks there are Parts in the desert in the United States and other parts around the world where you actually see you don't see the Rocks moving but you see you go to different places and you see there certain places around the world where there is a track where The Rock has moved and not just one rock but several rocks make a track in the ground well you know for sure it's the rock it's a big boulder it's not like a rock that rolled over because of the wind the rock actually moved you can see this on the internet and books I have in some stuff I could show you rocks actually moved scientific uh evidence of this some people are trying to explain it because maybe it was the rain maybe it was water maybe this maybe that but in reality there's plenty of evidence that shows that it's not just rain it's not just the natural way of how things that we know there's a lot of things that are beyond what we know you know until recently people thought that uh mermaids for example or a fairy tale you know mermaids the uh half if you will half person half fish people believed until recently and most people still probably to this day believe that it's like a fairy tale it's in a toah and it's real and recent signs I believe it was in 2013 they actually got footage they got footage in a very very deep part of the ocean of what would be a mermaid um there's other videos that are uh people say that it is and it's a lot harder to prove whether they're real or not but there's one that for sure is 100% legitimate uh theyve made a whole program about it on television I think two years ago or so very strange looking uh creature but nonetheless there's a lot of strange things in the world that uh people think are fairy tales that are written in the Torah and some things don't exist anymore some things still exist but not necessarily we don't have the slute to see them so uh yeah have some have some just say enjoy the food food there's a bunch of food enjoy it all of you soov falls asleep and he realizes that the place that he's sleeping in is a holy place he has a dream where he sees Angels go up and down this slad they go up to heaven down up and down up and down and he realizes the place that he is laying in is a holy place where the angel of Hashem stands over him and speaks to him and says that uh I am hasem God of Abraham your father and God of Isaac the ground upon which you are lying to you will I give it and to your descendants your Offspring shall be as the dust of the earth and you shall spread out powerful Westward Eastward northward and Southward and all the families of the Earth shall bless themselves by you and by your Offspring behold I am with you and I will guard you wherever you go and I will return you to this soil for I will not forsake you until I have done what I have spoken about you so hasem talks to uh yov in a dream tells him that he has nothing to worry about why is he has nothing to worry about because last week last week's parasa we had a big fight between him and asav asav was there in 19 pretty much made the decision that he's going to kill yov and yakov's mother told him uh you have to get out of here you have to get out of here cuz your brother's planning to kill [Music] you so now he left and on the way of course man he runs into someone by name of elif Faz elas is the son of as asav sent his son to kill yov and he caught him but couldn't bring himself to kill yob teacher because yob was his teacher teacher his whole life he was his teacher so yob said listen remember when we told you someone that's poor is the equivalent of someone that's dead so take everything that I have just leave me alone I'm considered de anyway so in essence you're still following what your father asked you to do so he takes everything from him so right now yob has literally nothing and during this time this is a big test yov makes a vow he wakes up and immediately becomes scared why does he become scared he realizes a holy place he realizes that Hashem is present here someone that realizes that Hashem exists immediately has to become scared if you're not scared that hasem exists that means you have a certain part of you doesn't believe that hem is real in order for you to believe in hem one sign is that you're scared praiseworthy is the man that's always scared why Always scared why is it good to be why the smartest man of all time that can give 3,000 Parables about every single everything in the T you give any idea in the T he can give you 3,000 Parables about that idea 3,000 I can't give one 3,000 the best rabbis in the world maybe give you a few 3,000 in his wisdom is saying praiseworthy is the man that's always scared why because if someone's scared when they're not scared of people they're scared of hem scared of hem that means if you're scared of hasem that obviously means you believe in him if you're not scared of hasem that means there's a part of you that doesn't believe in him cuz if you once you realize the significance of Hashem and how he's in control of everything everything everything that's relating to you and not relating to you everything in your body everything in your life your success your failure your health your sickness your panasa your poverty your everything he in control of everything whether we live whether we don't what everything someone realize there's someone out there that's in control of everything before me during me and after me immediately realize I have to be scared of this I have to make sure that I please this Supreme Being if we're not scared that means it's a part of US beli ah maybe I'm in control of everything really maybe I'm in control of half and he's in control of half maybe I'm in control of this world he's in control of heaven when I get there everyone thinks they're going to Heaven by way everyone thinks they're going to heaven hoping everyone no no they're not hoping hoping V that's not theem will holding everyone thinks they're going to heaven why Rabbi I'm a guy I'm a nice guy I don't kill anybody I don't steal well you know one time but not I don't steal now anymore good heart I have a good heart everybody always says I don't murder that's the definition of being a good person I don't murder unfortunately we could murder people with our mouth which we're going to find out from lean later on today so the first sign of recognizing hasem we're learning from yov and he becomes frightened after he becomes frightened he says he makes a vow if God will be with me will guard me on this way that I am going will give me bread to eat and clothes to wear and I return in peace to my father's house and Hashem will be a God to me then this Stone which I have set up as a pillar shall become the house of God and whatever you will give me I shall repeatedly tithe it to you we learned many many lessons from these couple of verses number one yob unlike us is not asking for millions of dollars unlike us he's not asking for the best car in town so he could show up to his friends he's not asking to be on Forbes cover he's not asking to be the smartest guy in the world what is he asking for don't give me the test of poverty food to eat clothes to wear be a God to me here from we learn from the righteous they ask for very little they ask for the basic needs of Life someone that has desires that are beyond the basic needs of life has to check themselves doesn't necessarily mean you're not allowed to desire other things but that means you're not exactly you you know the the addiction to materialism in our world has infected you it's not exactly a compliment the next thing we learn here is that yov which is a long time is hundreds of years before already has part of has the or t how do we know he has the all Tor because he already knows M he already knows being giving a tithe giving 10% of his income he already knows before Mount Si is already saying I'm going to give m is a very very important to do that a lot of people don't really uh they're not on it and a lot of people forget to do it or don't want to do it or don't believe in it if you're in a business world and you don't give 10% of your net income honestly I think you're a fool they make it's not it's not necessary that you're gonna you're not no one's gonna go to Gom for not giving you said it's not Shabbat or anything like that but it's just outright foolish why because this is the only thing that hasem says that you're allowed to test me I encourage you to test me and what's the test if you give 10% to a righteous cause not to uh Red Cross not to uh uh the local uh homosexual organization to right cause to Torah to K to things that are Torah related Judaism related not Jewish causes not a uh some nonsense save the Dogs Foundation save the cats not saving cats either someone learning to so he says someone learns to he said hasem says hem not me hem says several parts in the T he says you give it 10% of income not 10% of overall gross 10% of net income whatever it is I guarantee that you will be rich in your life it doesn't say time it doesn't say you'll be rich a month later a year later five years later in your life you will be rich obviously Hashem is not the type that he's going to say okay going to be rich a day before you die we have to realize that we're not doing business with a politician you're obviously going to enjoy this wealth so if you're already in in in the in the business world and you're familiar with this Mitzvah and you don't do it you're just what's the point of going to work then if you're going to work without an actual purpose of becoming wealthy I don't know why you're going to work yeah I remember I used to tell my employees listen if you're coming to this business and you're not planning on becoming a millionaire there's no point of coming go get a regular job without responsibility without all the headaches without all the uh risk and anxiety okay if you have one of these simple jobs that's uh you know you're a school teacher you're making $30,000 a year and you're barely uh surviving fine okay I understand but if you're a hustler and you're working pretty much non-stop obviously your intention is to be become well off at some point by giving M you get not only guaranteeing that that will happen but you're probably even giving yourself a shortcut so by not giving it's actually going against your own best interest in business that's Tor in business doesn't make any sense is recommended to be given as often as possible meaning if you get paid every two weeks you should give it every two weeks if you get paid every month you give it every month do not wait until the end of the year and the reason why is because you are giving the a very very big door to stop you from giving it mhm so every month as often as you can yeah as you can give enormously no listen it's you're giving it's really should be should be called getting not giving it says the tree of life is for its supporters and the supporters are always don't care happy MH why happy is referring to the Tora the people that invest in it invest in it meaning donate always happy why they're always happy because hasem rewards them in this life and the next life they get all of the mitv that they're Partners to let's say if it's a Torah if somebody is learning toah somebody that's doing uh doing kiru somebody that has a Jewish organization that's helps the Jewish nation of some way it's Torah related they are a partner and every one of them that's a part of of that cause if it's someone that's learning T every single letter that person reads in the t is a mitvah the person that is helping support that person is getting each one of those mitv if anything actually the Tora says the one that gives the one that causes somebody else to do a Mitzvah is bigger than the one that actually does the mitzvah so it may even be bigger so when you think about it someone that's wants to become wealthy because they're in a business World they don't want to be big they want to work fine that's not it's not a bad thing to work it's not a bad thing to be in a business world but be smart if you're in a business world you want to make money you want to be well off you want to I don't know you want a building or something Hashem gave you a shortcut if you think that you don't need AEM then I don't it's you're in trouble you have a different problem but you want a shortcut you believe in hasem he gave you a shortcut before was given to us in writing already he was doing it and you see that in his life he became very very very wealthy even after all the tests became very very wealthy and if he did it of course he did it and if he did it of course did it so then yov goes to Lavan he first meets his daughter there's a very interesting part here where it says that they uh it shows you the power the physical power that the of yov created before getting to Lavan Lavan was known as the criminal of all criminals if you saw my sh from last week in New York we talked a little bit of the par and talked a little bit of laan laan was such a criminal such a rash that even the criminals were scared of him he was like the head of the mafia so yov is being sent by his parents to go to this guy now yov his whole life has been a Yesa boy he's learning T all day okay learns T but Yeshiva criminal not every uh not exactly a perfect match here so before he went got to Lan he went to a special yes of and Shem who Shem son of Noah son why why sh andever sh and they had a different type they a higher level of tah sh not only EV saw the generation of Tower of Babel people went against AEM build a big building he saw AEM create 70 languages before the Tower of Babel there was only one language KES holy language only Hebrew the entire world for nearly 2,000 years only spoke Hebrew Hebrew at the Tower of Babel one of the punishments was that hasem created the 70 languages where all of them could not communicate with each other anymore created 70 languages saw this Shem even saw more Shem saw the generation of the flood he was in the uh you know in the no his grandfather knew knew the first person that ever existed Adam his grandfather died a week before the flood so it's not like he didn't know him he knew him well he knew him all his life they had a different level of Torah yov went to Thea for 14 years 14 years without sleeping 14 years without doing anything but learning this special type of [Music] Torah why is he this special type of to why first uh half of his for now half wait I think he maybe was like uh almost uh 70 years of his life maybe I think at this time he's maybe 70 years old if I remember correctly around that age why it was it didn't count he needs an extra 14 years in especially what the first uh to wasn't good it's different level it's like somebody comes to me he says listen I want to learn the zor and you look at the guy and he's wearing a t-shirt barely covering even his armpits you know cuz today muscle Shir today it's like a uh fleing it's it's it's not in mode to have sleeves anymore women absolutely no sleeves no woman have seen anymore wear sleeves on the news no one wears any sleeves on the uh I don't know no one wears sleeves I don't know why I don't know but since uh Barack Obama's wife stopped wearing sleeves when when he came into office no one wears sleeves anym mhm and men are the same way everybody wears a muscle shirt even though the guy is at least 100 lb overweight he wears a muscle shirt so you see the guy I want to learn the Zar okay the guy doesn't exactly look like a sadik doesn't even have a keepa that's a you know like you know some people wear a keep but the keep is the size of a quarter he doesn't even have that yeah it's one of those where it's like in the Pocket Wireless wireless keeper yeah exactly Wi-Fi so do you know what's that what's the you read the uh you know you read the whole I'm half Jewish in the school you read the here in there you know I hear about it in be and you want to learn the zor one why do you want to learn the I heard all these mystical stories we don't even know what the is you want to learn you don't even know the basics you want to learn so anyone listen go to the cabala center doesn't teach the cabala center teaches nonsense they teach business they teach you how they can make money from you that's what they teach you they're uh you know it's when when you have their uh their membership membership fees and and their number one clients as people that are not exactly the most righteous people on Earth and they're their uh poster child uh uh it's not exactly a uh a Jewish organization but anyway the point is point being here a beautiful building it's uh is it beautiful it's millions of dollarss yeah it's one that's one sign by itself it shows you it's not exactly a Torah Place usually Torah places don't have such an easy time and when you drive building multi-billion dollar buildings when you drive by everybody's welcome everybody's welcome whether Jewish or not Jewish everybody's welcome work zor is a secret part the mystical part of the toat that does not mean that the doesn't have mystical things or secrets that does not mean that the Torah doesn't have secrets of mystical things as a matter of fact they have more than enough to satisfy any person from you know for a thousand years if they learn the same page one page one page in the Torah every day 24 hours a day for a thousand years they still will be satisfied one page in the [Music] Tor in order to learn the Tor in order to learn the Z you have to know Basics what does the Torah really mean by Basics by Basics it means you need to know the entire time like know it know it you need to know the entire entire finished it a few times and you have to be an extremely pure righteous person it's not a uh kids book some people want to be heroes they want to skip the first second and third step and you know because they think the rabbis made this rules up because they they want to hide the secrets from people and that's why there's actually a hospital in Israel specifically meant there's a department specific with the people that go crazy after learning the Z and cannot be around people anymore they lose their mind and unfortunately lose their uh life learning the Z is not a uh you know it's not exactly something I recommend unless you know all of those things and you've been doing it which to know all of those things if you're a genius will take you 253 years Genius Like genius genius 253 years of like day and night not 25 30 years of an hour a day you know that's why sometime I don't like it sometimes I I hear you know a rabbi comes into town and he tells people oh no come on we'll learn zor together listen if he's coming to a if he's coming to Yesa well people he knows these people are really serious people they've been learning for 20 30 years okay I said you want to teach them Z maybe they even started on their own but you're coming to a full of people barely know what the even means they tell them you're going to teach them zor number one you're fooling them because you're not teaching them the zor you're teaching them a few excerpts like I I tell you all the zor says I don't know the zor I don't know anything about the zor I know there's a few things that are in somewhere that I read this is what it says in AAR but uh I'm not teaching AAR here yeah to be a teaching aor you have to be come on so when some Rabbi comes and he tells people come on I'll teach you the zor for an hour it's fooling people and now I guess maybe that's what we have to do today to convince people to come to maybe it's a smart move but I also think that uh you know when uh when told us from a uh a thing of Lies you should run away from I don't I think that's a better way I don't think you need to lie to people to get them to St toah I think if you have enough heart and enough passion in what you do you'll get people to come and if somebody's coming only because they want mystical things then they don't want to they want shortcuts we don't have shortcuts in the Torah we have nonsense that people create but no shortcuts in the real D so anyway moving on into this par we have yov is after studying for 14 years to get ready for Lavan he gets to a point where he has a fire around him the mid says he has literally a spiritual fire around him all all the time which can protect him against the tum the impurity of Lavan Lavan was so impure with his idol worship and his crimes and his filth that surrounded his life that just being next to him could easily infect you and make you a sinner to be next to him you had to be uh either just like him or someone that's going to be like him soon so that the so yob didn't want to do it yob wanted to continue being righteous CU he knew the prophecy of his father and the prophecy of his grandfather said you know his descendants yov his descendants are going to be yov is the one that's going to build he's the he's the first one he's the number one the 12 tribes are coming from him he brings 70 people to uh later on in a couple of weeks he's going to bring 70 people to Egypt not 75 like the New Testament says 70 mistaken of this Testament anyone that knows anything about New Testament they wrote 75 five more he now forgot yov knows he has to stay righteous in order to stay righteous he has to be prepared why cuz jakov knows with all of his T that he learned his whole life it's still not enough cuz sometimes there's a certain k a certain heretic a certain rash that comes to you with a smile and it makes you think that he's your friend it makes you think that you're my body I do everything for you I love you hugs kisses in reality this person is worse than the biggest sh there is while he's hugging you he's stabbing you without you feeling why because he gave you a little bit of anesthetic so you don't feel it you're only going to find out after you lost a kidney like they do in the uh third world countries people come Innocent tourists come to third world countries in South America and other places they go to sleep they wake up the next day or they go to a bar they drink they get drunk the next day they wake up in a bathtub with a note you're missing a kidney not even a note sure giving the benefit of Doubt at least they wrote a note wow yeah yeah why cuz they took the kidney and they sell it it's worth hundreds of thousands of dollars everywhere it's everywhere it's not just in sud a lot of so in order in order for us to be righteous we have to surround ourselves with righteous people your friends are going to be rash you're going to become a rash your friends are going to righteous people you're going to become a righteous person don't fool yourself thinking no no no I'm going to make them all do chuva don't fool yourself in order to get people to do chuva is a lot of work means you have to literally consume yourself with Torah day and night just you infected from shaking somebody's hand the impurity in this world is so extreme that sometimes you can shake someone's hand I'm not joking with this shake someone's hand and already feel that the part of your part of your just left you you already feel a change listen if you're already in the garbage and you're secular you don't you don't believe in anything you don't feel any of this stuff none of what I'm saying is relevant to you someone doesn't keep doesn't keep Shabbat doesn't keep the basis of Judaism doesn't have a connection to hem everything I'm saying is completely meaningless to you if you would have told me this to me 10 years ago everything you would have just said yeah yeah okay thank you thank you for your mystical life will be here buddy but when you have to in your life something changes something physically changes about you if you want to stay pure you have to consume more and more Torah why because you going to be around people not everybody around you is sadik that's such thing most of the world is not but why you're going to be a Hermit you're going to be in a in a cave all the time no you go out you meet people so you have in order for you to stay the way you are or better continue you have to keep adding more and more T why because as you meet people you shake people's hand some people are some people are not some people are not exactly the best people in the world you shake people's hand say hello you want to be a nice guy why do way you do affects you it affects you it affects you so don't think that just because listen I know this guy for 20 years I know before I did Chua come on I can't uh not be friends with him okay I'm not telling you not to be friends with him you want to be friends with him be friends with him but you have to be careful you can't live a you know a a uh a some type of an illusion in your head thinking that it's okay to only hang out with a bunch of people that are completely secular and you're the only guy that's keeping Shabbat and some how you're going to make everybody do chuv takes a lot of work it's a lot of effort and it's a lot of T if you're not learning to most of or your entire day pretty much you're not going to succeed it's more likely they're going to make you secular than you're going to make them do chah so you have to be careful and that also means with family with friends with everybody people it's not it's not easy it's not easy so again to is a solution for everything taught us this he went to learn to 14 years prepared to meet Lavan he gets to Lavan he first he meets Rachel before he meets Rachel talks about how this a um well had a very big rock covering it because the town's people did not trust each other didn't have the M of yob they didn't trust each other so they said listen The Rock has to be so big that everyone has to move it together huge Rock why because that guarantees that you're not going to be alone steal all the water no one trusted everybody else no one trusted each other so they put such a big rock that it forced everyone to be there to move the rock move it together that means there's more than one person is going to be there at all times so yov sees Rachel what a beauty she's a little girl still a little girl see he sees the the the beauty the beauty of the spiritual Beauty not the physical Beauty spiritual Beauty she was aik the that he had from the Yesa of 14 years he went and mooved the stone by himself no problem this is one of the sources one of many sources we learn a lot of this stuff in the and other places when someone has a lot of in them hem can allow them to do things Beyond nature beyond the norm that's why there's many mystical stories that actually happened it's not aot it's not like things that are just fiction and the stories real stories happen where the righteous people made things happen where it split the water or U make cut trees in half or make people come back to life freeze people all types of lot of lot of uh you know really really mystical things but it happens um in our generation I don't necessarily uh think there's many people that could do much some obviously they're but they're they're more hidden no one does it in the open uh but nonetheless the Torah and the Holiness of the Torah can make can give someone the ability of doing something that's beyond the uh physical beyond the uh typical stuff that we're used to uh so the righteous person righteous knowledgeable right it's not just anyone so yov meets Rachel tells her that he is her relative he comes from the house of Isaac she tells him that she's the daughter of Lavan which is his mother's uh brother and she's a little girl at the time and she calls she goes and she tells her father her father Lavan it says laan heard the news of Jacob his sister's son and he ran over to him and braced him and kissed him and took him to his house laan is very excited to see why is he so excited to see what is he excited to see a guest people that are wicked don't usually like guests why is he excited he has the interest in him he thinks he has a lot of money money money why because when abam sent elazar his servant to Lavan to the house of Lavan 12 camels to find a wife for his son and lezar came with 10 camels full of gold and diamonds and a lot of wealth I just k so lean said wow have all this money so now he's thinking if the servant elzar that came here many years ago came with 10 camels full of wealth then the actual personov the grandson of course he's going to have even more little does he know that yov has nothing because El just took it remember we just talked about so after he finds out okay he doesn't have anything okay you stay with me for a month he's not exactly excited to see him anymore but now he sees that jakov is a good worker so he says to him just because you're my relative should you serve me for nothing tell me what's your wages no just because you're a relative of mine doesn't mean you have to work for free what do you want how much money you want yob all he wants is to marry his daughter Rachel says say that so it says over here that lean had two daughters he had one older daughter her name was Leah and one was the younger one was Rachel Rachel Leah had tender uh tender eyes and Rachel was beautiful form and beautiful of appearance so by tender eyes they mean k explains it that Leia cried so much because she was told her whole life that sh she was the older of two girls mhm and had two boys and yov was the older that she's going to marry and everyone knew that is she didn't want to she was she didn't want to marry so a whole life she's crying and crying to hasem that she's destined to marry as which by the way you know there's a lot of there's a big misunderstanding in the secular World about Jewish marriage people for some reason or another believe that uh in uh religious Judaism and Orthodox Judaism you're forced to marry someone you don't want this is completely untrue the difference between the secular World dating and the non and the uh religious world is that in the secular world you can have a new girlfriend every day and uh you know treat every woman as as your wife pretty much and you know do whatever it is that we do in the religious world it's not like animals it's set up there's no physical touching there's no intimate relationship before a uh before marriage you go you know a young guy let's say he's 20 years old wants to uh find a wife they introduce him to a uh someone that he's attracted to or he meets her he's attracted physically attracted to each other by looking not by uh staring at each other and seeing righteous family and they go on a few dates C public places talk no no physical they talk they get to know each other if after a few dates two three days they see that it's a uh it's something good they move on to the next step and get married shortly after it's not a uh like a the secular world where you know you go and you date for four years before you decide whether you like them or not very clear clear and you're already living with each other this big Mis you know so in the uh but also again a woman is not forced to be with anybody she doesn't want to be a guy is not forced to be with anyone he doesn't want to be obviously in all religions and All Families there's always going to be some level of pressure that the parents always put on kids marry this one because the father is Rich marry that one because the mother is this marry this marry that but it's not a religious thing it's a cultural thing so religious you're not allow you're not forced to marry anyone cultural that's up to your family and him he's going to be a surgeon uh the guil trips that you're able to endure so anyway so laan over here is all of a sudden trying to be nice and he says listen don't work for free I'm going to pay you yob says Rachel do he do who wants Rachel why Rachel's beautiful form beautiful appearance shows you that the the first thing he was looking at is who she is a person her n a form after that he says she's also beautiful in appearance she also good looking the Torah is not ignorant of intimate relations between a man and a woman that's what a lot of people think that about the uh you know about the Torah that's actually what Christianity Christianity turned the intimate relations between a husband and and a wife into something disgusting in the Torah it's actually the intimate relationship between a husband and a wife is considered holy it's holy to be with your wife it's a holy event it's not disgusting if it's your wife obviously if it's not your wife it's a problem so in in Judaism being with your wife is a holy event you're allowed to do whatever you want with your wife obviously there's certain things that you have to treat you know you have to act like a human being but nonetheless it's a holy event so so in the Torah it's going to talk about in a second it's going to say something very very interesting but anyway the uh here is saying okay the physical is important but who a person is first is even more important because physical over time goes away says he's in love with who she is beautiful form after that talks about beautiful appearance so lean says okay yov is willing to work for seven years forel to marry Rachel lean says something very very tricky lean said it is better that I give her to you than I give her to another man remain with me this is the vagueness of a people that are wicked and dishonest have a lot of things in common one of them is that they're always very vague they're always very vague they never tell you things how they really are because they always look for a way out of anything they promise so they tell you listen a uh we have a meeting let's say uh you know you want to make a meeting with somebody he doesn't really want to meet you or he's not sure if he wants to meet you so okay I want to meet next week on Tuesday okay so I'll meet you Tuesday you didn't necessarily say next week Tuesday so when you show up to the meeting and he's not there and you call him where are you he's like Oh I thought it's next week Tuesday this exactly what Leon did yov says I want to marry your wife your daughter Rachel I work for seven years he's specific yob is very specific I want your daughter Rachel you're young younger daughter not even uh a uh you know some other daughter you named Rachel your daughter Rachel one so lean says it's better that I give her to you her can mean her or her somebody else means her her mean it's it could be her or her her can mean Leah Le so when seven years later when he gives him the surprise that he's not really marrying ra he's marrying Le said what I told you uh I'll give her to you I didn't tell you I was going to give you Rachel I said her you it's your fault you misunderstood yeah you misunderstood and and it's seven years you misunderstood not me today you misund not me I'm a righteous person you misund your fault why because we don't do such things in our place it's not our culture to give the younger one before the older one that's what uh Lavan says it's not our culture to give the young let the younger one marry before the older one so why would you think that I meant Rachel I said her her of course would mean Le the wicked people will always rationalize and justify their actions in a very clever way which is the reason why you need to know who you're dealing with when you're dealing in business when you're dealing in life you need to know who you're dealing with I used to have this guy work for me a guy that was mamash one of a descendant of Lavan of Our Generation he used to be my boss used to be my boss when I first started in the uh in the business and uh you know some years passed I became very successful and one day he shows up and uh he's working he wants a job he wants a job so I'm not even going to say his name because he's like Beetlejuice this guy so you say his name somehow he appears in your life three something so anyway this guy one day shows up I don't know what he wants to job I was looking for someone to manage uh my crew cuz I wanted to do something else long story short he came at the right time this guy came at the right time at the right place and uh everything that he would say he'd always have a way out unbelievable he never met a conman like this in your life I mean I fired him maybe like 3 four months after he came and it was a big ordeal lawyers Bagan throwing him out cops what a Bagan this guy caused but uh the point I'm trying to tell you is that people that are uh people that are deceitful and cmen it's you're never prepared they're always they're always going to have one up on you don't ever think yov actually that's what yov said reminds me actually reminds that's what yov said to Rachel when he first met her Rachel said he says how is your father doing not really how's your father he doesn't care about our father he knows our father's a big Criminal be nice she tells him listen my father is my father you know it's a uh everybody knows my father is a uh and exactly a sadik he says I I know your father I know I know I could be I know your father what does it mean I know your father I know how to deal with somebody like him he underestimated laan he's like listen I learned a lot of Torah I learned in the Yesa of sh and I have a lot of spirit I have a fire around me I could I know how to deal with your father if he wants to be righteous or if he's going to be Wicked I know I'm going to deal with I know how to deal with him he underestimated him and here he falls for it here he falls for it after seven years so now uh lean has his way yob works for him for seven years after seven years after seven years he fools him and he has Leia Leia marry yob yob you know in those days they didn't have light like we have you didn't see and also Rachel Rael was very very righteous she knew she actually made a promise to yov that there's a chance that he's going to switch he's going to pull off this SL so if there's a switch she's going to give him signs when it's dark he's going to give him signs that uh the switch was made so he doesn't go through the marriage but she felt so bad for her sister her sister was so excited of getting married Le her whole life she's crying because she thought she was going to marry now she's so happy first time in her life she's happy she's marrying yov she said I can't take away this happiness but at the same time I can't tell yov that she's Mar he's marrying my sister he just worked for seven years for me so what she do she told Leah the secret she said say these words this code when you're in the bed with him so he's going to think you hear me she so by the time he woke up in the morning there was no lights he saw her he says you're not right but it's already too late it's not like us where in our former life you have a different person every other day and it's okay you know it's say this is somebody okay he slept with that's said okay we're married now we're married sad all right body still has a problem here so he comes to he says laan how do you do this to me why' you lie to me I worked for seven years says no I didn't say you're going to marry her I didn't say you're going to marry Rachel I said you're going to marry her which I meant Leah we don't do such a thing in our place see he's using culture as an excuse May is older a lot of people use culture as an excuse one time I heard somebody say is higher than probably one of the dumbest things someone said in at least the last 20 years but a lot of people say it people think that a the cultural thing is higher than the law there's nothing more foolish than that there's no thing there is the law that we got from hem and his sages is something that certain people do certain people don't do if you're not part of that culture you're not o to even if you are part of that culture you're not obligated to do it if you you don't live in a place where everyone does something specific you're not obligated to do anything to but unfortunately in our generation what's happened is that people have become so far from toah that the have become the the have become the dominant part of Judaism and the not so much and if you ask a lot of people what is the AL in certain things they won't know but if you ask them uh what is your family's me on P do you eat rice or not of course they're going to tell you everybody knows three years old they already know if to eat rice or not on on PES so the minim are becoming a little bit too much or have become too much and that's what lean already said almost 4,000 years ago 30 600 years ago or so is say no it's not I mean not over here to let the younger one marry before the older one it's your misunderstanding so that's also another sign of a uh a wicked person is that they're never going to take responsibility for their action a wicked person never ever takes responsibility for their action they're always going to blame everyone else they're always going to act like a victim and we're going to see this later on from lean after yov works for him for 20 years and he finally leaves he knows that he can't announce it he can't announce it to Lavan because he worked seven years for Le even though it's for Rachel but it ended up being Le so lean says to him listen okay you don't have to wait another seven years to get ra finish the finish this week you have and then you can marry but you owe me seven more years yeah so you could get seven more years you have to work for him for another seven years but you don't have to wait another seven years to marry here like you did with the so he makes it uh almost like makes it like a uh like he's doing him a favor faor and that's another way of the wicked that's another way of the wicked where they're always going to make it seem like they're doing you a favor always going to make no come on come on let me show you let me show you let me let me help you out over here tell you oh no no listen if you take this company and you close it down but you move all the money to this other company and then you move this money to this other company and he teaches you how to do tax fraud guy teach you how to do tax fraud like listen I'm teaching you all this just give me 10% of the money that you're saving so he's making it seem like he's doing you a favor or somebody says listen take this property sell it to a company that company sells it to another company you do all of these things and then you sell it overseas and that way the original borrower that owes money to the mortgage company he doesn't own it really it's his company and if they want to foreclose on it because he's not making payments they can't foreclose on them because they have to find this company that's somewhere in Ireland or something to come so there's a way to cheat the mortgage companies so people are trying to so he's trying to make it make it seem like he's doing you a favor cheat the IRS cheat the mortgage company compan cheat this one cheat that one they always all these Wicked people always going to try to tell you how to cheat everyone and they're acting like they're doing you a favor so you have to give them a little bit of money for it little does the little innocent victim that's naive realize they're not doing you a favor they're ruining your life but they make it seem like it's a favor why because when the police FBI feds and all the problems of show up in your house then your friend is an Ireland spending the money you gave him with the house with the house he's an Ireland he's spending the money you gave him as a favor so don't be a fool and fall for these nonsense scams number one it's a scam it will not work a lie will always be exposed at one way or another number two it's a sin stealing money you steal money from somebody you have to come back in a gig MH if you if you uh if you steal money from somebody you have to come back and get reincarnated and PID it back so it's it's a stupid sin not only not only a big sin it's a stupid sin somebody can be righteous in the rest of their life make one theft without doing chuva and come back again so Lavan is making it seem like he's doing y favor saying no no you made the mistake but I'm going to help you out you don't have to wait another 7 years just wait one week then you can marry my other daughter but now you owe me another seven years nice guy nice nice guy so yob and start having kids but cannot have kids what what did you say I'm sorry yov start having kids four kids four kids in a row ra cannot have kids then brings her she each woman got a got like a servant and uh says okay maybe I'm G to give my husband since I can't have kids I'm G to give yov my my my servant and he'll have kids with her and I'll build through her just like s menu did with a s menu gave mhm you know to be part of the lineage of a righteous person is such a big mitvah you know if I could even be involved indirectly it's still big it's so big that even the go realized how big it was Hagar was not a regular person Hagar was the daughter of par haar was a princess par was one of the rulers of the world in Egypt and Hagar was his daughter but after saw ab and and S he saw such such amazing things he said listen he tells his daughter it's better that you're a servant a slave in their house than a princess in my house so he sent her and she was a servant and the and of uh of um of Sarah and one of the wives of of now and Le also got one Z and they uh she said okay listen I can't have kids so I'll give I'll give my husband my so she gave him and he had uh kids with her but still this didn't exactly it's not like having all own kids so also saw this I'll give my also so she has kids and then Rifka also has more kids it gets to a point where everybody's having kids except ra and it it gets to a point where says really is a uh you know it's no purpose of life for me if I can't everyone is having kids with my husband except me what point is my life what point is my life she even tries to do things to to to maybe help the situation there was something called D that one of the sons the firstborn son of of Le his name was ruen Ren ruen he uh he went and he got something called D some people say they were roses some people say it was a different type of flower nonetheless he brought it and uh some of some of the sages say that this uh these D were a uh a way to stimulate the woman to actually give birth mhm so ra saw thaten got these D and she says to Leah please can you have your son give me some of the D and Leah answered in a very very uh difficult to understand way because she was also very righteous she one of the most important women of all time she's one of the matriarchs not a regular woman the says something very very difficult to understand says coming was your taking of my husband insignificant and now to even take my son's D he says what it wasn't enough that you stole my husband this is not Rachel saying to Leah it's Leah saying to Rachel Rachel was was supposed to be the only wife for yov but Le got it and Le now is saying to Rachel what it wasn't enough that you stole my husband that you were the second wife you didn't need to be a second wife you saw that I married him you didn't have to marry him also after me now you want to take my sons do the also so Rachel makes some makes a move that if any of us can do it lash we can get to a very very high level she's quiet she doesn't respond in a way where like we would we us what we would do somebody tells you that say what how dare you say you sto you stole the husband he wanted me the whole time not you that's what we would say m and would probably would have smack or two also really didn't do that says no you're right so because I offended you you can have yov for tonight to be with him he's supposed to be with me tonight you could have him tonight just give me one of the in seph in the uh The Book of Job there's a verse says and the words and the world stands on what on nothing means nothing job says what is the world standing on a nothing if you look at the globe you look you know everybody saw a picture of the globe of outer space there's nothing that's holding the Earth in space but it spins in the same exact location it doesn't move right or left the other planets don't move right or left it's not like a uh a pool hall where the balls bounce off of each other where they run into each other everything stays exactly in the same place and it spins in the same location if it started moving right or left everything would change if the Earth moved 1% one degree to the right the Earth would become too warm and burn become too close to the Sun one degree one degree to the left becomes too cold the whole world freezes so the the Earth has to spin in the same place without moving one way or the other and the other planets also what's holding it there nothing teaches us from that in the Book of Job that the world stands on nothing it teaches us that it stands on when someone is quiet at the time of an argument someone that wants to argument requires two people someone can't argue with themselves unless they're crazy it's not really an argument and it's just a mental illness someone comes to you and starts cursing you yelling at you you know going crazy okay he's mad but in order for it to be an argument you have to respond you have to respond if you don't respond someone comes to your girlfriend your wife your boss your partner whatever it is comes to you starts yelling and screaming if you respond what's going to happen they're going to have even more fuel you're going to start yelling and screaming and it's going to become fire big balagan right yeah but if they come yelling and screaming you don't say anything maybe they'll scream a little bit more cuz they think maybe it's not enough but after a few seconds or a few minutes they see not responding what happens it ends nothing happens they just go away like okay well this not affecting us it the conversation's over it's not an argument anymore when someone is quiet at the time where someone else wants to argue with them when let's say a wife wants to argue with a husband or a husband wants to argue with a wife wife and you're quiet kazal is teaching us that you are the ma you are the thing that's holding the world your quietness at the time of an argument is what's holding the world in place so it's not it's not a uh easy to do but someone that's doing it it's a very very very big deal we don't have that much more time so I uh will f forward a little bit but this m this this act of Ra was so big that she didn't say anything that at the time where AEM wanted to destroy is time of bet mikdash talk about this time of mikdash you want to destroy all is want to destroy us all the sage just came to Hashem in heaven and said Moshe came to him said no Abraham is yob everyone came to hasem no you know we did so much not for you to destroy our descendants it wasn't enough until Rachel came to asem and she said Hashem why are you so upset about your children doing AAR Idol worshiping what do you care you know you're AEM why are you making such a big deal out of it when my sister stole my husband and then came to me and told me that I stole her husband I stayed quiet I didn't say anything so why are you so upset and Hashem responded to her he says for you I'll save the nation of Israel me for you so imagine that I mean all the of abob Moshe the 12 tribes wasn't enough but this action that Rael did in this week's save the nation of Israel save the nation of Israel so no one you know people don't realize the outcome of their actions because people think that I have something that I do and I need to get an immediate reaction I have a cup of water I'm going to drink the water and I will no longer be thirsty and they believe believe because that's the immediate reaction they get they believe that this is the only reaction that they're ever going to have this is the only effect of this water but the reality of it is there's much more that happens after that much more happens after the initial thing that we think about why because if Shalom this water looks like water but let's say there's poison in it oh I'll still be satisfied with the drink in the beginning because I won't be thirsty anymore whether it's poison or not I'm Still Still Water to me initially the initial reaction is that it's it's good it's water what happens after if do poison in it is not exactly the uh what I expected same thing with somebody that's same thing somebody that's do does anything anything that's against the Torah I actually heard RAB mppi see in a lecture today bigad in in is they ask him let me what if aazan in a radio show what if a Kazan shaves with a razor what if shaves with a Raaz says he's not allowed to be Kazan not only is he allow not allowed to be is not even included in the why because someone that's used to like where it's part of his life to make sins he's already used to making a certain sin cannot be considered a a Jew so so he says he says he cannot be considered part of if he's already used to making a certain sin has become a part of his life where it's a second nature and he's openly willingly making the sin you can't consider him part of of a Min and of course you can't make him aazan now the guy that's shaving he doesn't think it's such a big deal shaving with the razor he doesn't think it's such a big deal okay I'm shaving with the okay I shave with the machine I sh with the Raz it's not a big deal how are they going to know in sh they know same thing with someone someone that goes in Shabbat he goes to the beach he open or he doesn't even go Beach he doesn't go anywhere he stays at the house and he watches TV and he plays with his phone the whole Shabbat I think it's a big deal doesn't think it's a big deal okay I'm playing with my phone I'm watching TV I'm hanging out with my boyfriend girlfriend whatever it is he doesn't think it's a big deal he doesn't realize there's a place in Gom being prepared for him at that moment there is a demons that are being created with every single sin that he makes at that moment a demon is born that's going to be next to him forever attached to him when he gets to Sham each one of these demons is going to say I'm the one that was created on November 12th 2012 when he lit the phone on Shabbat another guy comes in I'm the one that when he pressed three on the remote control on Shabbat I was created another one says I'm the one where he press the plus on the remote control to go from three to four I was created other one says I'm the one that he lit the cigarette I'm the the next one comes in I'm the one who took the first drag next one comes in I'm the one who took the second drag and the third drag and one Shabbat can make a billion uh demons surrounding him attached to him but he's thinking oh hanging out I'm watching football watching college ball beer with a few beers with the friends it's not a big deal it's not a big deal yeah outcome of our actions are much much more significant but if it's so significant for the sins imagine how significant it is for the MIT we see from didn't realize she's saving with this Mitzvah of being quiet all she thought was this is the right thing to do this is what hem would want for me Hashem wouldn't want me to respond there and fight with my sister and cause a big b hasem would just want me to be quiet right now so I'll be quiet she didn't realize that a few hundred years later or a thousand years later almost she's going to be saving the entire nation of Israel because of this this this act she's saving the entire nation of Israel it's big deal almost done about uh 5 10 minutes so if we could focus we'll finish after these 14 years the uh yov comes to Lavan and he says to him listen Okay I uh time for me to make some money for myself to build my family he says okay so let's make a deal I'll take all the sheep that have spots on them all the sheep that have raised for you in uh you know over these last 14 years they're all yours but just give me the ones that have mutations they're deformed they have spots on them give me the ones that are deformed that's going to be so Lavan said this is a great deal I'm going to give him all the garbage sure and Lavan even did something else he went away he said okay you take all the garbage and raise them whatever you get from them fine you can keep it Go 3 days away from me so your uh sheep don't meet with mine they never get connected three days away so initially when you look at it when he sent away 3 days away it looks like it's a bad thing to somebody that they uh got a flat tire on the way to an interview it seems like a bad thing right later we find out the fact that he was 3 days allowed yov to have freedom to do what he wanted and actually scientifically something we learned from it were how what someone looks at at the time that they're cohabiting affects the embryo someone if a the Sheep are looking at spots on the wall or sticks that he put it at the time that they're cohabiting at the time they BEC intimate with the male and the female be coming together it actually affected the pregnancy wow and the babies the baby little lambs were born with spots this actually is a scientific fact you could see it in that book this a mere coin book mhm it's a scientific fact where actually it's been proven what we see what we look at and what we think about at time were intimate actually affects the embryo there's actually several several times where you have a white couple having a black baby or vice versa something mhm there was actually something that happened not too long ago maybe in the last uh seven8 years white couple had a black baby immediately the husband thought that the wife cheated on him have picture but they did the DNA they found out no it say it's his kid how could it be a black baby found out that the picture of some basketball star was over their bedroom so at the time that they being together intimately the woman is looking at the at the black basketball star wow and it affected the pregnancy that's what she was we learned this from yob we learned this from yob so laan wanted to go away so it looked like it was bad he was given three days three days to go away for me don't have your herd come with mine so look it was bad news in reality gave yov the freedom to do this the science experiment which he actually got the instructions to do from an angel says it says he got from an angel someone that got a flat tire on the way to interview same thing they think that it's a bad thing I missed the interview I'm not going to get the job little do they know that if they would have continued driving could have got into a car accident no interview no life so sometimes bad things that happen to us are actually good things just like said at the end of everything that the merciful one does is always the best not is the best always the best meaning there are multiple choices you know for let's to go from here to get to New York there's multiple ways of getting there that you go by air you go by helicopter plane car bus motorcycle you go on I 95 you go a different Road there's a bunch of different options of how to get from here to New York same thing with life there's a bunch of different ways to get from point A to point B Hashem is telling you is telling you that out of all the ways all the possibilities Hashem always picks the best one no second best always the best thing the all the things that happen to us are the best things so how could this be so now with yov he gives him the freedom this experiment or this secret that he got from the angel works out and he becomes very very very wealthy wealthy to the point where after 20 after 20 years another six years of being with Lani becomes very very wealthy decides to leave lean finds out that he left with all this wealth he takes his sons his people and he chases after him 7day trip he catches up to him a day before he sees himem comes to him in a dream and he says be careful don't touch my uh my son yov don't tell him something good don't tell him something bad what do you mean don't tell him something good or bad don't tell him something good to convince him to come back and don't threaten him or touch him to give him something good to make him scared I'm with him don't touch him so Leon comes to him God and he says to him how could you do this to me how could you leave without saying goodbye sh yeah we could have made a party for you says come on look it's nonsense I knew that you're not going to let me leave at least not in peace you were probably taking my wives your daughters says okay so how come you stole my gods somebody stole his statu is RA stole his statues because she wanted him to stop doing soov says no if you find these statues anywhere Whoever has your statues will die right now will die didn't know that really stole the statues that's actually why ra died prematurely as soon as she had she gave birth to Benjamin she died she died young you have that's also one of the things that teaches us you have to be very very careful with the things we say people say stupid things sometimes you know like they uh curse each other out or they say uh they say things to the kids don't do this or else something this is going to happen or your face is going to get stuck that way or this is going to happen to you when they get mad or as a joke be careful with your words your words could actually come true very very careful so yov didn't know that what he's saying is actually going to happen because he didn't know that Rael took the statues and she ended up dying not right there and then but shortly later but after this he got got mad and this is what we're going to summarize we're going to finalize this year after this he got mad and he told uh lean you've been torturing me for 20 years 14 years I worked for you for just my two wives which he was very careful to say I worked 14 years for my two wives not for one cuz he didn't want to hurt Le's feelings mhm then I worked finally make some money I'm leaving and if it wasn't you changed the deal a hundred times on me you kept renegotiating and cheating me and cheating me and cheating me a 100 times you changed the deal I had to leave because I knew that if I stayed you're going to cheat me another way yet had to convince Le to leave so here's the question if he's been cheating him for 20 years why does yov have to convince Le and ra to leave what they've been blind for 20 years they've been sleeping they don't see that their father is a is a gav is a cheater is a liar is a why does yov go to ra and he says listen your father has not been honest with me he's not uh the same way with me as he's been in the past he's been cheating me we should go he's asking for permission why is he telling him everything about their father doing this doing that what they haven't seen it the whole town knows he's a rash this will teach us the significance of yov and also a very very valuable lesson in life once in a while I tell you gives you a uh a a gift was such aad that for 20 years Lavan is cheating him and at one time did he say about not one time did he complain about laan to his daughters now one time did he say on to his daughters so much so that after 20 years this is the first time possibly that they ever heard that their husband yob is being cheated by their father because if they would have known that he's cheating him for 20 years why does he have to remind them he's your father's been cheating me for 20 years I have to tell you we should leave please let's leave because your father's cheating you if they really knew the truth trth for 20 years why does he have to tell him again this means that is such he didn't complain or didn't say about it even one time even one time even though it's true has been cheating him could be true usually it's true why is yov so careful with L says someone says brings all of the most difficult diseases onto himself someone that says in a small way in a small way there's degrees of L in a small way like Miriam Miriam said Miriam said L about her brother Moshe small which was true and she was trying to help him but it was she got the worst disease she gotat she gotat andat meant that you got infected spiritually and physically and you had to walk around and say anytime somebody would come next to you it's say I'm I'm impure I'm impure meaning you would have to part of your repentance for was not just praying you have to bring on embarrassment onto yourself in this world it's not just suffering in the next World you have to suffer here too this is for small he says the Prophet The Prophet is did a small and she hadat with Sarat is suffering in this world we have to bring oursel a lot of embarrassment so the rambam says someone that makes as part of their day to day they have no share of the world to the come it's impossible for them to have said small the big got one of the worst punishments if for small you get the worst diseases you bring on to yourself for big you could already say you have no share of the world to come it's impossible for you because there's not enough room there's not there's not a specific type of G for someone as part of their day-to-day life this is what is trying to teach us over here is saying listen my would be true was a rash laan was cheating me for 20 years but for 20 years I didn't say anything why because I know that there's a in sh I know theem is watching and everything that's happening he's allowing it to happen nothing would happen without hm's permission so me saying is only creating being bad there's nothing good comes out of so I'm not even going to tell his own daughters anything bad about him so when I finally told him after 20 years it was news to them it was news to them we learned from from yov from ra from from all the sages from hasem to protect our eyes protect our mouth protect our all of our mid all of our behavior in order to get closer to hasem so maybe one day the outcome of our actions will have even a small way of how the outcome of their actions were will help all
