Causing Others To Sin - Parashat Matot

in this week there's two parot we see in chapter 31 hasem spoke to Moses saying take Vengeance for the children of Israel against the midianites why what Vengeance because these midianites and moabites said sent their IM modest woman to the camp of Israel and led to sin and we learn that someone that causes another person to sin is worse than the sinner himself someone gives another person a gun is worse than the person that shot the gun a woman that's walking around not modest because she walks to you know she wants to wear the same underwear the rest of the population is wearing she's worse than the guy that's looking at her and imagining bad things while he's with his wife she's worse than him the one that's walked around the one that he's imagining that walked around with underwear in the street she's in a worse place than the guy that's thinking about her Hashem specifically wrote a verse over here he says go take Vengeance for who for the children of Israel why for the children of Israel because all these IM modest women they caused us to die almost destroyed the entire people for this and then it says in in verse three Moses spoke to the people saying arm men from among yourselves for allegion that they may be against Midian to inflict hashem's Vengeance against Midian well first Hashem says go take Vengeance for your own Nation but Moshe says no we're going to take Vengeance for hasem we change why we changed Shem says listen they're humans maybe they don't understand the significance of fighting for me yet they just made sins a week ago so go tell them listen 24,000 of your brothers and sisters died because of this go fight it says no no no the truth is we're really fighting for the truth is you're modest for the truth is you're doing for honor of hem you're fighting the war for them you're not doing it for money you're not doing it for Honor you're providing the cure for said in one of his lectures how does a person know that they're really on the right track they're on the right track with their relationship with hem says if you cry every day because of of the lack of Honor Hashem has in this world if you cry every day because people don't respect and honor hasm every day you're close today who even thinks about this he died 15 years ago this is not this is not 80 years ago 100 years ago a thousand years this is 15 years ago different world but he knew we had a we had a disease he knew we were sick today's rabbis they think we're all cured I don't know how though nothing happened only bad last 15 years everything has gotten worse to such an extent that there was a a video I uh posted a couple of days ago that's caused some chaos where there was a seem secular I don't know whether he's religious or secular he doesn't exactly look like the most religious person in the world not just by his looks but by his speech some of the things that I heard him say but he's an author a well-known author named tuvia tjan I think or tuia tjan is is it yeah yeah tvia tjan um and anyway it's on my page and uh he's an author and uh he did some research and he said that uh he found something that was baffling about the Jewish world he said you know you're always trying to fight against anti-Semitism you're trying to fight against people that hate Israel for no reason or even if they think they have a reason point is you try to figure out where is it coming from after serious research as a journalist as an author as a researcher and so on says he interviewed different major people around the world in uh different lectures and meetings and so on he says with the exception of the Orthodox Jews that are proud to be Jewish wherea learned Torah with the exception of them in America he says outside of the Orthodox Jews the biggest enemy of the Jewish people are American Jews but which type of American Jews the ones that are specifically connected to reform and conservative Judaism the ones that are connected to the Lefty liberal mentality the ones that are on one end they say they go to aul but they go to AO to give a dog a bar mitzvah they go to a to do a wedding between two homosexuals they say we're going to have a parade but for the Palestinians but you're Jewish yes that's what we're fighting for the Palestinians he says he went to some big meeting there was a thousand you know very well-off Jews in the audience and some uh woman that converted black woman that converted gave a speech and she said I'm a Jew by choice and she gave him a little speech said two people clapped thousand people two people clapped then some Arab terrorist went on stage and he says I believe that the Israeli government has to pass a law that each year they have to celebrate an honor of the nakba the day that Palestinians were killed by the Jews and this tuvia who witnesses with his own eyes said all 1,000 Jews stood up and started clapping for him and honoring him this terrorist for five minutes straight then comes to the stage I'm in UDA from The Joint list Arab Israeli KET member and he says Israel must observe the nakba the catastroph day when Jews came to the land and killed innocent Palestinians in the thousands the murderous Jews and 1,00 Jews got up in a huge standing ofation and they applauded him for 5 minutes say something against the Jews and they will applaud so when I told my raim this he Sayes yeah of course it's no surprise I'm like what do you mean it's no surprise this is awful go yeah but it's no surprise say why because because when you don't have M you don't have Torah you don't have truth everything is upside down when you don't have God you have nothing so everything's going to be upside down you're going to think the Cure is poison and Poison's cure everything is upside down [Music] amen amen
